It’s all the same way Moving up and down, back and forth And the worst part Is just around every corner Tied up in angles I am able to be true Just because I wasn’t Willing to subdue Tied up and mangled I am able to endure Never felt as though I wouldn’t make it through And now I’m calling back Wish I’d felt you here but alas Every timezone blast Made it clearer and clearer Tied up in angles I am able to be true Just because I wasn’t Willing to subdue Tied up and mangled I am able to endure Never felt as though I wouldn’t make it through Face the facts I’ve got all this time to waste potential Finished last and then Released from every expectation The line we rushed We’ll never get a chance on But I’ll give it all I’ve got Just barely holding on

I saw you slipping in slow motion Reaching out to touch you But you were no longer there Plummeting down, spiraling out Looking over the side of the cliff Shrinking away I don’t recognize you anymore Dirt fills the air as the crater forms Blocking out the sun Freezing the last breath My clammy hands turn to ice Cut them off, break them off I’m a coward even though I’m right I’m a coward even though I tried my best I’m a coward, rip my throat out And listen to the silence You told me you were ready You told me you would brace yourself You told me you’d face the consequences But they swallowed you whole Watch the birds fall out of the sky Watch the lizards shrivel into nothing Watch the whales turn belly up Nothing can save them from the maggots in my brain Thought it through Over and over and over and over and over and over and over Before the fall Your pulse beat underneath my skin But as I peeled it back The veins we shared became open wounds The higher you climb the further you fall The weight I carry is only lightened by you being unable to lift what you’ve become

Your body confined by a thick chalk line Behind the yellow tape I’m beginning to find A ramp up, a disillusion Just enough blood to maintain the confusion You’ve gone and strung yourself up with these hollow pleas Hanging from your neck but still won’t concede While we're stuck chasing fables When all that we want is surely fatal This a waste of time? Roaming blind Undefined Bleeding me dry Bleeding out Nothing left in sight Nothing new to find Asking me why Asking why Asking And I told you not cry Wiped the tears right from your eyes But it’s all about to change If you don’t talk, no one can help you The pain of your thoughts will cascade over me If you don’t knock, no one will answer The hinges have rusted over Just as the darkness of night blacks out the brightest star I’ve been searching but it’s still a thousand miles away and I’m out of time I’ve been hustling but I’m afraid I’ve lost my touch Maybe I’m right I’ve been hunting but now I feel your breath on my neck Running down my spine I’m exhausted, finding new ways to blame myself Toxified You burned it up Faceless doubts, crashing skies Prominades of the wilting lies We built this up, you burned it down I guess you were nothing special Mismanaged, misshapen, misdesigned Fall so far and smack the ground A strong, hard shell to never complain But now this armor has become a cage All your dreams and lusts and doubts Seem out of focus now The only person you’ll ever love The best friends you’ll ever have
