The last words spoken
were trite, meaningless and prosaic
a counterproductive production
filled with cliches aimed at heartstrings
You're platitudes won't serve you
the straw man haunts you
Your attitude won't help you
the flaws always been you

Take off and run
throw it away
they never wanted you anyway
so take off and run
don't look back
they don't need
or want you back
here's a tune
where time prolongs the wound
is it too soon
too soon for you
so what's there to gain, saying my name
doused in disdain and causing you pain
say my name

Trust me when I say that my feelings are a mess
these thoughts I can't convey have put me under stress
here I am today with something to confess
don't judge me when I say these words I must express
Can I find love in you
When I walk past crescent moon avenue
Can't tell if passion is permanent, infinite
but what I do know dear is now I have no fear
these thoughts now makes some sense and bring me confidence
to sing to you my dear, these words that are now clear
Can I find love in you
When I walk past crescent moon avenue

Addiction has got ahold of me
and I can't let go
Fixation is blinding what I see
and I'll never know

I'm venomous, vicious, vile, too malicious
Infamous nemesis, where do you want to be?
Somewhere clean, out of a magazine
Somewhere green, just you and a rabbit queen
there you go again, thinking it's all about you
here we go again, making it all about you
even if you're right, there's so many like you
Stop
Turn away look away because the latter going up tonight
Turn away look away because no ones going home tonight
because I'm venomous, I'm vicious, I'm vile, too malicious
Infamous nemesis, where do you want to be?
I'm sick of always being taken for granted
sick of my faith being taken for granted
now the time has come so take advantage
I'm sick of always being taken for granted

The minute that you said that its over
I went out and bought a four leaf clover
But no luck, good try, there's something inside
that stops you from putting down your pride
I get it you're so wrong and so afraid
the foundation that you stand on has decayed
admit it that you're judgement is out of line
I can't see how you see yourself so Devine
one day you'll realize
Oh
you sold yourself comforting lies
Oh no

I hesitated but always tried to ignore the truth between the lines
I hoped that it never had gone this far but the perfect ending way too hard to me
leaving it on the table didn't seem to be
call it passive, I call it misery
playing it of so casually
call it passive, I call it misery
There it goes, another lost cause I suppose

Walk way, don't stay in here for long
walk away, why wait
just leave, don't stay

There he is on the ground
empty all your empathy
He's not making a sound
rather it be you than me
I think I did something wrong
but I'll just justify it later on
in the arms of my mom
she'll right the right for me to be alright, okay
whatever you say
can I go out again to play?
They'll be times in life you cross an enemy
hold your shoulders still and breathe steadily
keep your conscience thin before you split in two
I can't be with you every day
but what if you stayed
what if you stayed home

Heart For a Brain

Everyone should be as sick as me
so I can feel a little less lonely
passing my pride for confidence
symptoms of vanity hold consequences
my brothers gone but I still got my sisters
and my mother and her many misters
my hands are covered in blisters
from breaking down bridges brick by brick
overthinking it has her leaving me too quick
it left me too quick, love lessons never stick
we fall apart in two and can't be fixed with glue
I'll admit, I'm a straw man, finding comforting in a garbage can
I'll say it with a straight face, I'm so close to the fireplace
Paper words burn, ashes remain
but memories, they leave a stain
|

Once love has withered
Memory will soon fade away
I will remind you
familiar face
familiar games
voice is losing it's name
Unrecognizing
I will remember in time
when wounds heal
will you remember?
Maybe I'll play along
|
||||

Dig out the rooted reasons that are causing dismay
this silence is too much so I'll just disappear
I truly hope people are like seasons and it's okay
to let the dust build on this table left so unclear
Until the next lunar year
(Memory distorts what's true)
how long until the next lunar year
(Perspective is only you)
