Tell me anything
anything to keep my head above of water
cause I've been drifting further every single day
give me honesty
cause I cant handle the truth in everything i see
I pray to god you don't see me for me
you don't see me for me
keep your distance
you'll be better off
forget your reason
cause I cant feel anything
changing paces
that I'm no longer for
keep your distance
I need to stay
out of my own god damn way
and not get in over my head
like I did when I was distanced from it all
from everyone that i have come to know
I'm patient and resistant
but patience it wont help me anymore
no patience it wont help me anymore
keep your distance
you'll be better off
forget your reason
cause i cant feel anything
changing paces
that I'm no longer for
keep your distance

Ask a friend what they really think of you
is it everything you'd hoped they'd say?
don't play pretend
cause you're only who you think you are
you are nothing
if you see it that way
let the sense of self wash over your skin
feel okay for a moment
you're losing sight of this
the rose beside your window is grey and overgrown
the pressure to give in
it makes you feel so low
you know only who you think you've been
it seems like you've already got your mind made up
it hurts you more than you know
if you give up just know you will be alone
you've got your pretence
your minds distorted
your visions blurred
everything doesnt have to end up this way
but you sold your soul
let the sense of self wash over your skin
feel okay for a moment
you're losing sight of this
the rose beside your window is grey and overgrown
the pressure to give in
it makes you feel so low
you know only who you think you've been
let the sense of self wash over your skin
feel okay for a moment

Breathe it in
you've got no one to stay for
feel disdain
for anyone that's hopeful
another night
the same old empty head
it feels like everyone's got someone to say 'goodbye, I love you and everything's alright'
am I the only one who's getting by?
on apathy and empty lies
I'm fine
"brave the cold you might find someone new, someone who loves you, that doesn't have to"
but it's been almost 4 years
and I'm starting to get used
to the cold side of my bed
and this comforting dread
it feels like everyone's got someone to say 'goodbye, I love you and everything's alright'
am I the only one who's getting by?
on apathy and empty lies
I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
it feels like everyone's got someone to say 'goodbye, I love you and everything's alright'
am I the only one who's getting by?
on apathy and empty lies
I'm fine

Withered

I still hear your voice
I still see your face
a constant reminder like the ache in my rib cage
deep in my bones
you still remain
I think you'll be there until I burst and decay
rest like the flower by my window pane
embracing the sun no I wont turn away
without attempting to progress or change
withered flower, what was your name?
withered flower, what was your name?

Inside Your Head

I felt it under my skin
Let the silence wash over me
but I cant feel it
and there's too much here to say
I found myself treading water with my words
depriving myself of honesty
my minds a blur
I'll stay inside your head
it wouldn't make a difference
I'm feeling so misled
now that I'm on my own
the bitterness will take its toll
losing all control
I'll stay inside your head
I'll pick it up and pretend
to have it figured out
but without my aching bones and the stitches left unsewn
I'm just left with doubt
when I lost all faith
I cant help but think on the time I spent in vain
it was always going to end up this way
it will never change
I'll stay inside your head
it wouldn't make a difference
I'm feeling so misled
now that I'm on my own
the bitterness will take its toll
losing all control
I'll stay inside your head
this weight is getting hard to hold
I've convinced myself
that I'm not nothing
pretending's easier than letting go
I'm always on my own
and nothing makes a difference
I'll stay inside your head
I'll stay inside your head
I'll stay inside your head
it wouldn't make a difference
I'm feeling so misled
now that I'm on my own

I wont lie its tough
but what do i know about love?
I'm never gonna be the man you need to get your trust
so how you keeping up?
we haven't spoken a word in months
it feels like I'm doing time in a cage i built at the end of the goddamn line
know I made my bed
and now I've got to sleep in it
I'm picking up the mess
at least I think I am
I'm trying my best
I missed our home
on Jardine road
or maybe its your company
I guess I finally know
cause you're gone
and I'm starting to stay strong
its fading away
the detail that formed your face
and I still hear your voice
as you're breaking underneath the weight
ghost
I thought you had left me alone
you stand in the hall of my new home
now I'm haunted by your eyes
ghost
I wish you would leave me alone
I feel like its time for you to go
cause I'm haunted by green eyes
appear to me at two in the morning
in the smoke cloud from my cigarettes
I guess I'm just not handling it well
ghost
I wish you would leave me alone
I feel like its time for you to go
cause I'm haunted by green eyes

Facade

How much time do I need?
the floorboards are breaking
up under my feet
and I'm fine with losing sleep
the sun will set
I'll do all again
I'm done with the way I see
everyone I know and the people I meet
the same daily routine
saving face
but my facade is weak
my facade is weak
why am I losing myself to my perception
still trying to see more clearly
cause I'm still waiting for something to feel
but my facade is always shattering
what am I supposed to do?
cause in my head i always lose
and I've got too much to prove
will I ever see it through
pressure
to be everything i see
but i cant keep up with this fallacy
why is it so hard for me to feel comfortable?
but my facade is weak
why am I losing myself to my perception
still trying to see more clearly
cause I'm still waiting for something to feel
but my facade is always shattering
