Walls
04:48

Lately I've been living on things my mother wouldn't approve of. Anxious and out of touch with these times. One more chance, I swear. I can make it right.
You and me my love, We'll bring down the walls. Hold hands and laugh at the ones who have wronged us. We've made it this far, whats a couple more?
Before you take it away, please give me a chance to say what I wanted to. Cause I swear it could be right. Lost trust. Things said out of spite.
Bring down the walls.

Calling
04:32

Waiting for the dawn again. Never brings what your expecting. These mornings are so reflective. Makes you think of better days when everything was so right. You're so right. You're so right. Now I'm hanging down by a thread.
We're finding out who's sorry now? Who's sorry now?
All I want to say. It's everything to keep it in. My words would cut like daggers. All the laughter. All the menacing looks, you kill me. Darning, you kill me. And I'm calling out. Calling out.
We're finding out who's sorry now. Who's sorry now?
Burn it down. Who's sorry now?

Let It Go
03:14

I get so low when you're around. I get so low. Nothing feels right anymore. I feel so low.
It's not going as we planned. What do you say we let it go? It's not better it's just getting worse. What do you say we let it go?
Days are slow when you're around. They move so slow. Ambition's buried in the ground. I move so slow.
It's not going as we planned. What do you say we let it go? It's not better, it's just getting worse. What do you say we let it go?

Breathe In

How can you sit there and say it is all done? You're missing the point of it all. Missing the life you had. You say there's no end in sight. Why should you give it up?
You took that poison. You put it straight in your arm. All this was for nothing. Will you still breathe in?
Pages and pages I've wasted. You do nothing but ignore it, it's no use to you. No use, you've had enough. Efforts not given on your part. Parting with what is left.
All this could end now if you'd look me straight in the eye. But there's nothing to say that you want to hear.
Giving up hope is what I hope you don't do. Seeing you in this state, it kills me, it's killing you. Concern may mean nothing, but it's straight from the heart. Close the door, open your ears, listen to me. What you want to say is irrelevant.

Hands up. Head down. Hang it out
What's so funny? Can't be selfless. Worlds away. Coming back.
Hands up. Head down. Hang it out.
Many mornings curse the evenings. Can't dig up what's been planted. Hang it out.
On my guard for the last word.

Away
07:38

All this talking leaves me wondering. Am I needed? Am I wounded? Words within me. Rules are broken. I was open. I was willing. Take this with you when you're leaving. May it help you. May it keep you warm when I'm away.
Please believe me when I tell you. I don't want it. I don't need it. Conversations. Always doubting what's within you and all your passions. Holding on to past encounters never helps you. Never keeps you safe when I'm away.
Am I needed? Am I wounded?
I was open. I was willing.
I don't want it. I don't need it.

Road Map

Halfway to your home I lost you. Somewhere out on the open road you shall traverse. These monuments and national parks say a lot without saying a word. Without saying a word.
You had to go.
Can't keep you in one place, you pulled out a map. You said "which way shall we go?" The world is big and mean and beautiful. You swallowed it whole, you always do.
You had to go
"No trespassing" signs never kept you out. You got out while you could. Damn you for that. This frozen ground could never be as cold as you've left me.
Damn you for that.

Badge

I wanted more. I wanted everything. What have I to take? These days are numbered. So much to do, so little time. Time eats away at me.
My mouth is dry. I've dried up every chance I've had. Please take this badge away from me. I'm not your fucking savior. And I'll watch the time go by so gracefully. Graceful as an orphan. Hated as someone who's loved.
Take that look off your face. You're not going anywhere.
My mark is made. I've served my term. When it's over, don't forget to walk away.
And I'll watch the time go by so gracefully. Graceful as an orphan. Hated as someone.
