Chip Away

|
|

Existing in between two worlds
that are slowly pulling me apart
I know in time it will
Chip away until there's nothing left
I'm tying to forget my loss of confidence
I swear to god I'll try my best and if I fail at fist then I might just give in
Existing is it ever enough
wish I could everything at once
I know in time it will
Chip away until there's nothing left
I'm tying to forget my loss of confidence
I swear to god I'll try my best and if I fail at fist then I might just give in

Slow Motion
02:15
|
|

I could waste my time
I know it won't be forever
Caught in between the lines
Loosing grip of the tether
I'm bridging gaps to nowhere
The constant seeping silence
The weight I feel on my shoulders
Can't wait for the end of my turn
My footing has slipped off
Falling down in slow motion
The memories I've lost
The upping of my doses
I could waste my time
through changes in the weather
So perfectly entwined
Nothing lasts forever
My footing has slipped off
Falling down in slow motion
The memories I've lost
The upping of my doses

Sleeping In
03:12
|
|

Wish I'd spend my time sleeping in but instead I feel like I can't stop moving
A freight train heading straight for derailment
A face plant straight onto the pavement
I know it might seem like I'm moving on a making progress
But I think I'd much rather waste my time forgetting about you
How many mistakes will it take to make things irreversible?
Can't find my life vest I must have misplaced it,
A burning building with no fire exits
I know it might seem like I'm moving on a making progress
But I think I'd much rather waste my time forgetting about you
I wish we could be alone in my room
I got so close, to not missing you

Tired
03:22
|
|

Losing sleep just getting by
I'm confidently confused
You touching me it feels like fire
I don't think I'm over you yet
What if we try to make things right for another month or two?
Then fuck things up, wait nevermind, this is something that I do
I try to break right out
And somehow get pulled right back
Losing sleep barely alive
My body feels so misused
You touching me, it freezes time, forever in this moment with you
The constant feeling of another try
Our hearts beaten and so bruised
I try my best to soak this in, forever in this moment with you
I've been so tired that I'm patiently waiting for things to come to a change
Am I an optimist or am I completely deranged?

Breaking Point
02:23
|
|
||
|
We keep on taking
We keep on breaking
Bodies are stretched out minds are shattering
If things will be ok, we might be mistken
is it possibe for our hearts to get any stronger?
Hey, should we stop?
Before we reach a breaking point
We keep on giving
Results misleading
Bodies are stretched out mins are fucked
Things will be ok, just keep on repeating
Do you think that things will actually change?
Hey, should we stop?
Before we reach a breaking point
Please take my hand, I can't do this alone

Old Breakfast
01:49
|
|
||
|
I feel stale like leftover breakfast still sitting on the kitchen counter
The dishes still dirty the table is littered with crumbs
I feel exhausted I'm tossing and turning but no side of the bed will fit to my body
My pillow is useless and my sleep will be shit
I feel broken
I feel left like dinner sitting on the stove from last night I forgot then I passed out
I hope it's still good in the morning I don't wanna go to the store
I feel strung out
Why does it feel like I'm constantly coming off of a bender
How will I ever recover and get a semblance of rest
I feel broken like the mug of coffee that shattering noise was a jolt to my system
Maybe some glue and some patience will keep me from falling apart

Parking Lot
02:45
|
|
||
|
Empty Parking Lot heart ache
I let the moonlight wash me away
Pavement confessional sweat stained
Another summer night spent in disarray
Curbside tearjerker
That's where I put my aches to rest
Right down the street will be perfect
that's we're I'll alone again
3am sidewalk cement
I'm getting lost in my thoughts
Around the corner is perfect
don't think I'll ever stop

What's Next
01:24
|
|
||
|
What's next?
A boiling point I'll never reach
It's piling up, it's killing me
Over and over again
Oh great,
Another moment alone with my own thoughts I might explode
Forever pretending that things will turn out ok
Honestly I'm losing touch with reality
I'm much more apathetic than I care to be
It's wearing me down and I don't know what I can do to keep me going
How much more self deprecation can I take,
before my heart incinerates
It's piling up and I'm feeling so damn tired beyond belief
Fuck this shit
I just wanna get on with it
How could I ever regulate when things keep on falling apart each and every moment?

Nothing Feels Better
02:42
|
|
||
|
This pain in my chest, how long have I felt it?
Is it anxiety or am I having a heart attack?
Or maybe it's a rare condition that will require months and months visits to the doctor
Nothing feels better
Even though I'm trying
Maybe I'm being dramatic
I just don't know what the fuck I'm doing here
This heart ache, how long have I felt it?
Do I ignore it? or it might best to listen to all of my friends
Why is it so hard to sit still and take care of myself
Nothing feels better
Why do I keep trying?
Am i being dramatic?
Or can someone tell me what we're doing here?
Nothing feels better and I'm missing you to death

Escape
01:54
|
|
||
|
Down to the ashes
Down to the dirt
Pretend I’m nothing
It’ll be my greatest escape
And maybe if I try
I’ll forget about you
I won’t have to worry about
the impending bad news
Maybe if I try
I’ll think of nothing
Get some respite from my brain
It’ll be my greatest escape
Down to my body
I think I’ll just lay here
Tired of grasping
Anxious and waiting
Down to the ashes
Down to the dirt
Pretend I’m nothing
It’ll be my greatest escape
Down to your heart
pouring in memories
Forgetting the past year
It’ll be my greatest escape

Running In Circles
02:25
|
|
||
|
Turning outwards
Facing milestones
Jumping backwards
Feeling into my saddle sores
The longing
The pining
The anticipation
Waiting for things to come undone
The dreaming of winter
The sadness of summer
The loves we fall into
The cold makes me sober
The loathing
The breaking
Losing all my attention
Waiting for things to fall apart
The growing
The running in circles
The steps we take together
The falling into each other
