Try Again

it took some time and patience
we're back at square one
a hint of sadness lingers
but it doesn't matter anymore
the grief remaining is little
it might as well be gone
i think about it every now and then
but it doesn't matter anymore
breathe in deeply
can you see me?
i don't wanna seem like i'm bleeding out my shell
i don't need you
i keep seeing you
lying on the floor, say "how disgusting"
you can find a way to love again
but you're gonna have to try again

and you know that there's much more than that
know it's not your fault, don't forget that
don't forget that
if you don't wanna say it, you don't have to say it
and there's still a lot of mystery
finding comfort in your identity
though it's not like they'd abandon you
but it's a little too much to talk through
just keep it to yourself
you don't talk anymore, now they miss you
all your friends and your family, they miss you
and your mother and father, they miss you
and the one that you long for won't miss you at all

Resilient Little Bastard

a current dragged you in here
against the will of your wings
collide against the window
resilient in your confusion
with your compound eyes
fracturing the light
and yet you keep persisting
wouldn't you have given up by now?
a simple instinct
do you even want out anymore?
compound eyes
blinded by the light
compound eyes
drawn towards the light
do i even want out anymore?

i know what you are thinking, this'll end in a disaster
but it's best to clear the air out, deep breath in, rip off the plaster
or the band-aid, whatever you call it
the fabric on your scars
i know that it's a cliché, tried and true, the little accent
but this environment is soured, aggravated to an extent
i can't stand it here anymore
like sinking into tar
and i'm sick of always acting as if nothing ever happens
push me down into the pavement, look away as i make contact
you wanna make an impact
but you don't care how it happens
your mouth is a kaleidoscope of reasons i can't stay
you can beg and plead all you want, as if you can hold off the decay
but everything can't stay the same
you know something's got to give
and i'm sick of always acting as if nothing ever happens
watch me fall into the pavement, look away as i make contact
you wanna leave an impact
but you don't care how it happens
and i'm sick of always acting as if nothing ever happens
slam my head against the pavement, look away as i make contact, because
you wanna leave an impact
but you don't care how it happens
and i'm sick of always acting as if nothing ever happens
stomp my jaw into the pavement, look away as i make contact, because
you wanna leave an impact
but you don't care how it happens
you wanna leave an impact?
congratulations

First Man on Mars

the first man on mars takes his steps away
losing his focus, new distractions every day
he's not a pioneer, he's a parasite
you can say that it's history
but you won't get a cent from me
emerald lies, pyrite comedy
you will not get the best of me

midnight illuminated barely
how long have i been awake?
my head is full and running on empty
don't know how much more i can take
i'm not thinking about it very well
i just need to get some sleep
i need to be somewhere in the morning
but my eyes refuse to close
i reach out for my phone, just for a couple minutes
god dammit, it's fucking 2am

it's no cause for concern now
i can settle in the heartache
all that i can do is laugh
it won't matter anyhow
i've found comfort in the loneliness
i don't need no second half
stay cryin lean tears erry night
gemstone switchblade if u tryna fight
cant trust a soul so yk i gotta go
pullin up toyota stay smokin dro
stay smokin right blood drip from my eyes
fallin in my dreams n im starin to tha light
u alr know i want u wit me erry night
how to be dead shut u off nightlight biiitcch

it's like you don't realise what it takes to keep him well
you claim for his own good, he's kept inside a cell
he sits upon the windowsill and stares outside
the pouring rain has never looked to inviting
in his neglected eyes
and as the weather worsens, the cracks begin to split
you overlook the cautions, and the ceiling starts to drip
but while you are distracted, you never hear the sound
of water always rising, you know he's gonna drown
(is this what you really want?)
if only we hadn't been blinder
you could've had so much longer
now left with a wooden reminder
as further away we wander

take control of your fear now, there's no going back
it's a lot but you'll have to take it in stride
run away, the next day
we'll take you somewhere you will never be alone
there's no problem, i don't wanna talk about it
(look for a way of letting go)
there's nothing left that i can say
(hoping that time will start to slow)
there's a way out of this hole, i doubt it
(jumping off a bridge to learn to fly)
it couldn't wait after today
(what did it take to justify?)
there's no difference anyway
take control of your fear now, there's no going back
it's a lot but you'll have to take it in stride
take control of your fear now, there's no going back
you're all on your own and there's nowhere to hide

advised that there's no need to rush
through progress, still you've left your touch
so tell me, how long is enough?
and i humour
pulling the trigger
i swear that i'm not asking much
all worn down, pulled through the rough
by a problem i'm holding hushed
like a tumour
it keeps getting bigger
and i humour
pulling the trigger
there's got to be a better way
and now i'm out of final straws
this time i mean it
there's no difference at all
so i fall back into your open jaws
i want to believe so badly that it's real
but i can't help but lie
like watching someone die

Inersophobia

i'll have to rush this along, there's not much time left
complication leads to song, but it doesn't feel right
find the problem, use your words, take a deep breath
indecisive at its worst, i'm stepping down from the fight
(can we all please just calm the fuck down?!)
you know there's a problem that i can't decode
and i know there's no way that i can solve it on my own
and i'll try to explain, i'm scared of always staying the same
but the fear of no change seems to not have a name
i dont' wanna run in circles anymore
so let's look back and try to piece together what has happened
(can you get over yourself?)
i'm not letting myself waste away
i'll never make the same mistakes again
(why don't you give it a rest?!)
and it's a lot to remember
but i'd like to think that i have gotten better since november
surely there's something to gain
from all those hours staring at the rain
and other times, it's easier to cave
i cave

Take Care of Yourself
02:16

i step into the sun, hoping to feel warm
but all i get is a breeze
i look up to the sky, i have to shield my eyes
from the sunlight piercing through the trees
what does this mean?
it's difficult to find a little peace of mind
i fear i'm running out of steam
i hate to say goodbye, but you know you can't deny
i'm tearing apart at the seams
at the thought that at the end there's no-one waiting there for me
and i'm so sick of faking endings
as if they start a new beginning
we're just somewhere that we cannot comprehend
but there's a flash of hope still gleaming
show me life is still worth living
screaming, "take care of yourself
it'll be alright in the end"
it'll be alright in the end.

the powerful instrumentals contrasted against the soft unconfident vocals. like a deep yearning for affection but you dont know how to ask. like a love you feel slipping away but youre powerless to stop it. every time i start it i feel like i cant stop. a must have for my collection.
