That same way things always appeared before. Everything lined up so perfectly right in front of me, but just for an instance. Held out within arms length, grazed my finger tips so I could miss it. Only to miss it. What's just a taste worth when you know it will only invite the craving of more. Staring at open doors. Choices made so easily when they're not yours. Once you burn all your bridges what will you be left with? Cling tight to the hope you're not quite sure is still there and think just for an instance that not every effort was in vain. Still nothing changes when the doubt creeps it's way in and you're left staring at open doors. Choices made so easily when they're not yours. Once you burn all your bridges what will you be left with? Noone will trust you when they hear you speak when they hear your words mean nothing more than the dust under our feet. So many "poor me's" when really you're just as guilty. Point the finger again; they put you where you've been. So ironic now you handling advice with such self pity and preservation holding you down. Staring at open doors. Choices made so easily when they're not yours. Once you burn all your bridges what will you be left with? Bringing in the end, but where will you begin?

The Haps 03:46
You never made it very easy for me to get inside your head. Only in rarer moments do we find that our minds align and you're becoming such a constant problem of mine. Maybe I was never meant to understand just how this all works. Somewhere along the line fate stuck me guessing. I crave clarity in places so unclear to me. You can't see the inevitable end, why wont you just let me in? I'll say it over and over again. You never made very easy for me to get inside of your head. How do you always find your self forcing conversation and until your heads no longer level? Suddenly focus is the issue. Uncertainty plagues me. Priorities hide from sight. What a waste of a brain a man spent thinking his life away. Somewhere along the line fate stuck me guessing. So tell yourself, you tell yourself you'll never find anyone else or any place to call home. Yet you live your life second guessing every move you make and that's just another false step. Take the fear is left without your words while I'm stranded on the outside and I need you to let me in. (so tell yourself, you tell yourself you'll never find anyone else or any place to call home) I crave clarity in places so unclear to me. You can't see the inevitable end, why wont you just let me in? I'll say it over and over again. You never made very easy for me to get inside of your head. That one place you always kept me away from. You had one rule that you were never shy to stray from the brighter side of things. Oh, no you never wanted it easy, so go keep inside of your secrecies.

I don't think I like your tone. The way your talking through me it's all wrong and you know just how to make me feel like it'll never change and we made this way. To be completely condusive to our own demises. Well, I see my past failures still mocking me, though I've stood here a thousand times before it's getting hard to act like we don't care anymore. Its all adding up. Are these tears just about all soaked in?Have these walls caved in? Tell me when. Something's got to give, something's got to give, but we can't stop ourselves. Every ounce of pain was self inflicted. You don't know, but I couldn't tell the difference. We all feel the same at some point; so low that we'd aim our blame in direction just to avoid the feeling ourselves. Oh, so called victims finally it's all adding up. Are these tears just about all soaked in? If these fears have begun to steal your grin, well then I'm about to give, I'm about to give in because we can't stop ourselves this time. I don't think you'll know just how far is too far. I don't think you care that I'm sick and tired of these games we play. They're making us miserable souls we don't know living in a home made of boundaries that regret built so gather 'round. I'm ready to tear this house down. Are these tears just about all soaked in? (catch them or let them fall) Have these walls caved in? Tell me when. (healing nothing at all) Something's got to give, something's got to give, but we can't stop ourselves. (We can't stop ourselves) Are these tears just about all soaked in? If these fears have begun to steal your grin, well then I'm about to give, I'm about to give in because we can't stop ourselves. I know you don't like my tone. The way I'm talking through you it's all wrong and you know exactly how I feel when the only common ground we share hides inside all of our ailments. Stuck in such a paradox, fighting with the ones we love it's so unfair to us.

Self Loather 03:15
I haven't been on this ledge for long, but I can still choose to jump as I please. Would they even be bothered at all. Or could you take the pain away. Does the water feel cold on your skin? Do you feel the air running thin? You haven't been on this ledge for long, self loather. Always hiding behind those handicaps of yours. Just take a second to count your dreams and I'll count my demons in hell and they're all around me. I can tell that it was getting worse. Little did we know from the start I was cursed. So many shortcomings in so little time, how about we all just fall in line now? Lend me your ears before you hear something you weren't supposed to. No one dare test you, your just too weak for this. And all there is to be known is a name with a story yet to be told. But would you really go through with it? Are you really that cowardice person I knew before? "How selfish of me would it be to finally want to be happy"? i just want them to see me for me. I walk with the others that share my dread (share my dread), but still I wouldn't with this, I wouldnt wish (I wouldnt wish) I wouldnt wish this on anyone. I haven't been on this ledge for long does this mean that I can't be seen. (I wouldnt wish) I can still choose to jump. I can still choose to jump as i please. I can tell that it was getting worse. Little did we know from the start i was cursed. So many shortcomings. Lend me your ears before you hear something you weren't supposed to. No one dare test you, your just too weak for this. All there is to be known is a name with a story yet to be told. But would you really go through with it? Are you really that cowardice person I always knew before. Or would you find your old ways kept dragging you down to floor when you know you should. Now that everything is gone now that everyone had faded away you found me.

It all started so harmlessly our genuine passions fueled our persistencies. They consumed our souls. Young and dumb we had no choice but to play the role too bad you could never give it up. Now I'm starting to realize when is enough against too much. You're just holding me down while your actions force consequences that you can't control. I'm staying as still as want me to. Hold me down so I can't move. You've made so afraid that I won't get any farther than you did from here. Plans of the future they were always paved with optimism. We promised each and every loved one just how much we'd miss them, but would it be enough to leave all of our old lives behind. You constantly remind yourselves of the moments of yesterday so you can stay in them I swear that's all your meant for. You're just holding me down while your actions force consequences that you can't control. I'm staying as still as want me to. Hold me down so I can't move. You've made me so afraid that I won't get any farther than you did from here. This wasn't meant to be our endeavor. We were never the ones to fall behind, but when the time came your true intent was to stifle my creation. Regret! Regret! And I'll push you because you never pushed me. So content with a dismal future, lay your head down to fall asleep and you'll start to think, but little did you know that you can't close your eyes when I'm on your mind and all you've done is eating away at you. You're just holding me down while your actions force consequences that you can't control. I'm staying as still as want me to. Hold me down so I can't move. You've made so afraid that I won't get any farther than you did from here. I'm ready to go farther than you did. I'm ready to go further than you've ever dreamed.

Magic Man 04:40
A window sits behind my head and I don't know what could be out there. Just the thought of this infinite expansion has got me scared. I'll admit I think you've caught me in the midst of it all. I've never been here before, but I know I'm afraid to fall so chose wisely young and confused one. They've got a lot to show you and you've got a lot to learn. Slow down. You don't have to chose now. You're not the only one who might not be ready for more. When the world pushes us around, our dreams will convince as they can, but it's all our own short comings that will keep us grounded when our heads float above the skies. Lay your hands on me like you never had a doubt you can jump right on my back im so used to that. Just keep your thoughts all but to yourself. Looking for something else. I won't lie on my back. So chose wisely young and confused one. They've got a lot to show you. Slow down. You don't have to chose now. You're not the only one who might not be ready for more. When the world pushes us around, our dreams will convince as they can, but it's all our own short comings in the end. No one knows what lys ahead and that's not all we were meant to obsess. Still noone can contest that'd be better off dead. Let the worry leave maybe then finally peace. No longer part of your machine, one that puts our friends to death with ease to force us into submission. Well, goodluck. Let's put your mind to rest now I swear we were earned it, but we can't change what had to happen. Sacrifices, who's handing them out? Here's a check to cash for all those dreams that you forgot about. A panic attack forcing you alone I can't blame you, no one wants to feel stuck. A panic attack forcing you along. I really can't blame you for choosing the wrong. Taking your safety net just because you thought you've earned it, but maybe I'm just foolish enough to believe that it's worth it. Slow down. You don't have to chose now. You're not the only one who might not be ready for more. When the world pushes us around, our dreams will convince as they can, but it's all our own short comings in the end. Slow down. You don't have to chose now. Cause it's all our own. (Cause it's all our own) Cause its all our own shortcomings in the end.

Heau Bodges 03:07
You'll never see me again. When you're on your own which hand will lend the most. Beg, borrow, steal, lie or cheat. Get what you need then you're a ghost. That's all you're searching for; a handout and nothing more. When blinding greed hides the ones that ly truly in need, but only when we're in need do we see that still people choose to see a painted face and they'll always give up on was real. Keep pushing to the floor the conscience you don't want to feel. Keep all you know in places of your mind that you'll never go, still people choose to see a painted face. And we'll always give up on what's real Your theory of flight was wrong. I want to know where you've been, why you've been always so prone to covering your tracks. What's there left to hide of a man we've only known in disguise. Friendly stranger bearing offerings of gold The worst mistake that i ever fed, but oh the hope it would hold. It gave me comfort separated from the average. Just to keep my head. A con man with empathetical ears made it sound so easy. It's all so easy. Those mistakes should've been ours to make. Now If i fall let me fall by my own hand. Your theory of flight was wrong. (You knew it all along) Suffocating under pressures that you never could see where there, but you could always feel their weight. How could you? How could you have made your own luck? Animals so wrapped up in survival all we fear is the end. You'll never see me again.
