Don't waste time We've been trained for this and now it's hit Take it in your stride Coping mechanisms are failing Choking back tears is not a new thing I'm feeling the same as you are In the same place that you are I wouldn't put it past you to hate me Now living is only a maybe There's not enough time in the day to fix this one Greys and whites contort above the ground Days and nights distort as I lie Awake but dreaming I know what I'm doing I'm happier when I'm not It seems we're all in the same boat Sinking and screaming We're all from the same home Just surrounded by different walls There's no telling when these habits will die but they'll die... Harder than the rest. You never let up So let's start again And we won't get up Until it's dark and then We'll get ourselves together And smoke the night away And make rash decisions That aren't for the best You never let up So let's start again And we won't get up Until it's dark again

We're swimming away with our hands tied behind our backs with minimal visuals. I'm getting out (no you're not, I've had enough) Sit down or you're gonna get thrown off course If I could redirect my bloodflow I would because this feeling in my chest leaves me sicker than it should If I could bring you all I would But it pains to say I can't There's no room below deck or above This ship's set sail for good Breathing upside down in colours of October Writing about when there wasn't this conflict of interest There isn't time to take your dreams into account So what am I supposed to do To make them come about I'm gonna end the year with a Handful useless knowledge And spend the next 40 years just Wishing that I'd thought this through I don't feel accomplished You're only an island for so long While your body's adjusting I know it's not all for nothing

There's so much to see, When your head's below water and your eyes are open If only we could breathe, I reckon we'd be infinitely closer to the sea I'm trying to find my feet, But it's too easy to waste away the evenings dreaming I only wanted to see, if it's everything they said that it would be Overhead the colours don't agree The leaves are dead and fractured underneath Space is closer than what you might need Trees don't care about you or me Her legs were by no means parallel I was just hoping to take you to bed This street is filled with regrets And we're not going anywhere No one is thinking in synchrony Now that we're sinking I'm feeling sick and you're losing sleep And the sky's so far away it keeps Me bound to physical parameters It's not a place or a time, or a space it's not My place to share It's just the way it reflects light
4.
There's too many lights For me to think clearly The people are fast but their Faces are all closed and twisted I haven't seen the Sun in about five hours I'm starting to get homesick From places I have never been The drinks still taste the same and there's Never any new words to change my perspective I'm losing interest faster than I could care to mention I've had the same fucking night for the Last three weeks and I'm getting restless I guess you could say I'm getting tired Wasted daylight hours Wasting twilight now Irrespective of the quality of air And the thoughts that creep in past the second hour I wish that I could feel more grateful for this time But deep down I know I've never felt so fucking alive It's almost 6 o' clock And I don't feel alright I know I did it first That doesn't make it right And now it's in my head And there it will manifest Until there's nothing more than Broken skin and shallow breaths No I don't feel fine But it's enough to get by Everything's according to plan
5.
One day I'll wake up and I'll be Able to sing and articulate my thoughts And then maybe I'll get my point across But until then I'll settle for the Monotone ramblings of a dying eccentric Even if they don't get me anywhere I'd catch, I'd catch, I'd catch a train to Anywhere colder where I can throw words at the water And watch as they swim with the visibly shaken facial expressions You know I'm lost when it comes to making sense And finishing sentences You're scared and I don't blame you There's only so many words left to say And none of them will mean anything close to what I want to say You're losing interest and I'm Honestly trying hard but there's no chemistry Because you've got no interest in Chemistry or a sinking ship like me And there's never been a gloss quite like the One that's enveloping your eyes
6.
Say it twice so you can Fully understand the gravity of What's been said amongst the Trees that night and the smoke that falls in between Thoughts so fast and steps so slow Staring the past down toe to toe Seeing more than what's ahead
