Look at me now, I am where you said I'll be Plans don't work out and I think you're mad at me I didn't stay, I skipped class today (I don't even know how many years I'm gonna live after this) I told you that I couldn't do it anymore And I won't No I won't No matter how I'm reassured, actions speak louder than words Watching you cut me out and stab me in the back fucking hurt I ache to progress, and I ache to just go back in time God knows I must return and take back what is fucking mine
2.
I took your air and let it become my new source of oxygen The light was focusing on you The glow on your skin lured me in, and I stayed And now, co-existing, I can feel safe Your touch exceeds my every standard You feed me with lies and I take every chance I have to embrace you, I go through the world To experience it once again Don't change for me Don't change for me
3.
My spine is filled with so much anger But I hope you've collected your thoughts I will still contact you, but I wish that you'd talk first And I grieve alone, go through everything alone Which I'm used to but I started to get less used to it I realize my mistake now Said you tore me apart And I'm not opposed to that I couldn't help but call you back To search for traits I clearly lack And I shouldn't say I'm sorry but I'm So fucking sorry It became symbolic at the press of a button It became a nightmare that never bloomed into a discussion And I think I'm over it, yeah I'm really over it I think the void in my heart's healing I woke up with a purpose but I don't think I can handle Another relationship that can just turn into a scandal But I think I'm over it, yeah I'm really over it I think I don't need you anymore

I'm free But why do I still feel empty? Is it good for me? My friends say it is But I do not believe them I do not believe them I do not believe them I do not believe them I do not believe them The daylight glows on our thickened porch steps But unconsciousness denies our interactions It converts itself into a pale, current-fueled lake And as the afternoon passes, I grow awake I become so tired of the past Connections that never last Why can't I hold anybody close? Or look into their eyes, and love them the most I wish it were you but we grew apart Despite saying that we would last forever Last forever Last forever Last forever Why won't we last forever?

Hourglass 03:21
There's nothing I regret more than the past seven months I always wish I had self control when I came back to you But this time felt different, I became transparent I forced myself to move onto every better thing Nothing is exciting to you Unless it involves somebody else Every opportunity I had You never cared You're the idea I craved so much But nothing like how I imagined Every time it ticks, I'm ripped apart I wish we could go back But now that I know you don't value me There is really no point in continuing We can't just be friends We can only exist in different worlds You spew jealousy And break my every boundary Yet I still come back because I love you You took my effort and gave it away You stole my time and made me feel safe You say you love me but over the phone That is a lie because I know you don't I loved you so much, I did everything you asked You were upset that it just moved too fast

Grandfather 01:13
We were once together What was your intention? To cut and paste ourselves? To extract me out? Is she even happy? Receiving your love Because I know I was But now I am corrupt I hope that she knows That she'll end up hurt It's an endless cycle That we will fall into And this is your fault Yet she's not involved She's just a better me So I hope you're happy
7.
In the depths of your head, I never saw change But now you're standing, aching for the Future to slip through our grasp It's causing some pathetic relapse Our eyes converge at a pause in time But all I see is a stranger That grew up knowing, his own fate And I don't even recognize his face In silent hours, as I pass you by I whisper a hesitant, exhausted goodbye I know you, always act so trusting Because without me you would have nothing And I wish that you'd stay at our place for the night But you don't see your worth, and I contemplate mine And through all our success, I still lie so frail It sucks that through everything, we always fail
8.
Pulling myself apart, placing the pieces on your skin No one's in, so I'll find a way to cleanse your soul And no one will know The ghost of you stares at me through the mirror and socializes with The future ghost of myself You can see it be conceived in my eyes And flushing throughout my veins I swear that I'll forget your face And I'm unsure if I will feel the same But I desperately want to So that the idea of you Can just guide me through myself And I know this is a cry for help Yeah I know, it's a cry for help
