A Month 03:35
I pity us fools who fall more than once, get giddy and swoon at the thought of their touch Keep pictures of you incase you come back to where it all started I pity us fools who pity ourselves. Well rot where we dwell, on our cynical shelves We wont worry or care about anyone else, but you We are the bitter and broken hearted So hear us scream (well rip out your ear drums) Hear us scream (as we tear down your pictures) You sing along to songs you never felt, cry about hands you were never dealt Youll give up and forget. But Im holding my breath. But theres not much in these lifeless lungs left I wish you could nail me back into your chest You think you gain, you lose and you cant let go But I heard you had, you threw away and the guilt kicked it You think you gain, you lose and you cant let go But I heard you had, you ripped apart, you broke every bone

Not another soul could hold you quite like that I can't do anything but blindly agree Your pouts and your watery eyes That frown will be the death of me Your heart scrapes at your throat. Don't speak or it'll fall right out I hold my ribs as I look around for your eyes We'd kiss and I'd forget to breath But with the distance it happens all over again We can no longer be friends We'll wrap it up and call it some other name Like hate and love all twisted in one An unhealthy hybrid relationship We can no longer be friends A body full of holes to throw their problems through My countless failed attempts of trying to float Has left me with a bitter taste I'm the shadow of the person you have yet to see Hinting at your faults wont get them sown right up I've been covering the obvious chinks The exterior's been chipped away In a matter of time it'll only be rubble and bones

Wide awake 03:31
I've got a heart of bad stiches and tape. No matter how you hold it, it wont seem to stay in place. Pieces keep slipping everyday. I better pick them up and hope with good luck I can keep them tucked away. Words so pretty and vague. Words that confuse me but convince me to stay. With all these thoughts I lie awake And if you wanna give in just call I'll bring myself no matter how late No I'm not a robot, not a perfect Casanova. All I know is I don't wanna go home all alone Left with these teary eyes and a heart that weighs a ton Oh and all the while you think it's improved since the last time Oh and all the while you think it's improved since the last time Oh your hands are tied, my eyes are wide awake Oh your hands are tied, my eyes are wide awake Oh your hands are tied and my eyes are wide awake

I’ve got the shakes and porcelain organs. But the cavities have been reinforced. They keep out your gaze but I’m waiting for that day I let the bull through the door You’re counting down the minutes but I’m saving every second of this and helping them breathe I’ll be making notes on whether you can weather it You’ll be writing poems deciding when it’s time to give up Holding onto the red light. It flickers dimly. Never moves from my side. You scream to let go, you said it wasn’t in me to see it burn bright Slow down, not too heavy now. Heavy won’t convince her to stay. While the answers are resting, these questions are testing you, bearing you down with the weight Every indiscretion, every hard earned lesson is worth having around I’ll be making notes on whether you can weather it You’ll be writing poems deciding when it’s time to give up Holding onto the red light. It flickers dimly. Never moves from my side. You scream to let go, you said it wasn’t in me to see it burn bright There never was a time There never was a time to say Lift up your eyes, lift them up high. Watch out for wars that reside in the sky But Hold out your arms, hold them out wide, don’t wonder when the masses of metal collide
