Bliss

Bury these thoughts in the back of my head
Biting at my tongue to taste the blood instead
So that you won’t have a clue
Try to brush it off and fake a smile
I’m sorry if I’m distant I’ve been sinking for miles
Well put yourself into my shoes
I’m doing my best to keep my head on straight
It’s hard to keep going when things feel strange
Try to grasp everything around me
Unfamiliar places and faces surrounding
Searching for the things that keep me going
But the anchor on my ankle keeps fucking pulling
Try to grasp everything around me
Unfamiliar places and faces surrounding
Searching for you cause you’re the only
Thing that made me feel like I was something
And things change quickly like how I’m feeling when it comes to me and you
But I couldn’t change even if I wanted
So I’ll just have to go about it
It’s how I am, not always so bliss
I didn’t choose to feel like this

One in Ten

I see your face every time I close my eyes
Reminisce on the days you left behind
Came to grips on your life which I despise
I’m not quite sure how I feel inside
Are you aware of the days I spend in pain?
When I try to take all of it day by day
Feeling bleak when I think about four years straight
I’m in contact with the ghost you used to be
Ask me, then I’m fine.
But you know when I lie
Wail and weep, sit in grief
Feel my apathy, when you “dot the I’s”
And I think I’m moving on
But you’re faster than I run
I keep falling back on you
But we always fall through
Heavy weight, still struggling to hold the facts
Gave it all, can’t promise that I’ll make it back
Lost my way just trying to stay on track
Come back to my space, I’ve got faith in that
Spend my time just hanging here by a thread
Out of sight, find me trapped inside my own head
Can’t replace this vacancy you fled in theft
Soak the words in poison so it pierces bad
I stay awake and let my mind wander
I find it helps me sort through all these problems
Clenching my teeth again
Lacking my poise this season
Clenching my teeth again
For unfamiliar reasons
Forcing the boundaries cause it makes sense
You’re running in circles with my head
I’m ashamed to admit that I’m discontent
And I’m not even sure if I want you back

At Your Trigger

Could you enlighten me on what you meant by what you said?
Or did the blood rush to your head?
And how can I apologize to you for my mistakes?
If I’m no fault for what you blame
I’m tired of feeling like I’m at your trigger
Hoping it blows up in your face
And pity always gets me nowhere
So what am I supposed to do?
Done wishing I was different
I drudge for what I get
Hot and cold, vice versa sides
Try to fathom if you’d like
Compromise to ease the time
When I mold the words to whats on my mind
You’re not too sure on what to say
Force a smile anyway
Protecting what you hide away
Do you say the things you need to say?
And how can I apologize to you for my mistakes?
If they keep resurfacing
Split your mind and I’ll keep my distance
Draw me back if you feel the same
And if you finally see my side
We’ll talk it out when the time is right
Misconstrue your intentions
Or are you upset all of the time?
And if I could be all the things that you want from me
Well then we’d finally see eye to eye with everything

Tough Luck

I’ve got some wishful thoughts that help mend the ache
They aid to pass the time, to steady and sedate
And I’ll to my best to try to keep it straight
But I don’t think I have you
And when you’re in your room as you sit and debate
“The thought is just too much, I guess he’ll have to wait”
You know I hate those words, I hate this time and place
I’m just dreading this next year
Feeling the pressure now
Always hate when you’re not around
Do you think about what I said?
Or do you take it all into offense?
I’m sick of all the things you do to me
Account for nights that I can’t seem to sleep
Do you carry on so easily?
Do you carry on so easily?
You told me that you had to leave
Fled your place so I could be at ease
You way on me so heavily
Yeah, you way on me so heavily
And if you’re gone do we talk?
Do I stay away?
Even if we keep in touch it won’t be the same
Move along like you do, tuck the pain away
Does it hurt to think about how things used to be?
I’m crushed, you’re gone. Hope you found your place
And at least I know you’re leaving cause of “better things”
I’ve got bitter thoughts that help build the clots
Because I can’t replace you
Do you carry on so easily?
You way on me so heavily
I hope when you think of me you smile
I’m so sick of what you do to me

Mutual Pain

If I’m out of sight than I’m out of mind
Test the gloves, they fit just fine
Had to reclaim what you took of mine
Don’t pride yourself in the dollar sign
Reflect the faith I have in you
Coming clean with what you choose
Make the space, I need the breathing room
You’re falling through my fingers
I’m sorry for the things I say
You know that this pulls my strings
I just wish that you would stay
And I hate the thought that I’m replaced
But I never thought I’d curse your name
Maybe I’m the one to blame
Back and forth, a mindless game
Either way it’s mutual pain
Losing touch with everything you do
Falling in your hindsight view
I’m sick despite the things you said
Leave me, bewilder my head
Maybe I’ll flee your state instead
