take a breath relax breath deeply we're just getting started between you and me I feel so fucking cathartic over again you run into my brain in the end you seem sure when you say tomorrow will be brighter than today I don't care for what they say I only care for what you say you name a time and place I'll be there wearing this big smile across my face I'm getting used to losing friends, growing older but I've never felt a summer colder but you whisper I'll colour in your sadness as you sleep away I'll paint another picture that you'll see one day you dream about the moment that you heard me say that I'm thankful that you brighten my day I lie awake at ten to three wonder what you think of me I've always wanted what you what from me I just want you to want me and now I'm sleeping with the lights low curtains drawn with an open window press my face into the pillow felt so high but now my fortune's fading I can't take one moment of your time I'm so misplaced I can't face this silence on my mind

so call me crazy but nothing seems to phase me I'll try to hold on 'cause you're everything I've got you try so hard you're always pushed back down you try so hard I'm always fading I wont bring you down I'll try to make you happy I wont bring you down so never leave me what more is left to say? when seasons change you'll spring right back again I wont bring you down this house is haunted I hear you say by every shape of your own ghost you're in my way I try so hard to get this through to you I try so hard with everything I've been through find a way to see the light inside a darkened winter day 'cause things change

Threshold 03:22

I think about all the times I wasted bunking life for a chance of existing I know it's not right for me it's no fucking good for me I've always played my part but now it's over my threshold fists clenched and they're cold scarred up from the wall I've alway said I'd rather stay it's better now than way too late it's time for me to pack my bags and go I'm always so alone I don't expect your reassurance your wise advice in how you've seen the world I'd rather take it as it comes and live my life while i am young I'm sick of always feeling so exhausted and it's a pain for her to see don't get me started I always end up on my feet despite the desperate lack of sleep I always count my blessings whilst i count my sheep now i'm back at the starting line I swear to god I'm in control of my own dear life 'cause I'll dig my heels into the ground I stand strong I'll stay sound I'm gone now and can't be found over my threshold fists clenched and they're cold scarred up from the wall over my threshold

let me start by saying how disappointing you turned out to be it's so fucked up to think you used to mean so much to me just a minute I know you know that people disagree I know it's worth it, 'cause you earned this because you used to think so highly of me thirteen years have never been so distant I just wish you'd never made the mistake pushed me out, lost your spine so glad I was mistaken all along you were pretending I'll take this as a lesson you never had my best intentions I don't get it I just don't get it I don't get it I just don't get it I'll take this as a lesson you never had my best intentions It's been a while you always seem to leave me wondering just how it would have been if you had never lost your mind when you decided that you'd just leave me behind you know I've always been here I've always made it clear I'm bending over backwards you're hell bent on leaving thirteen years have never been so distant I just wish you'd never made the mistake pushed me out, lost your spine

I've hit the wall it seems my friend I can't see this out 'til the bitter end I bite my tongue but it never stops the words from flooding out of my mind I'm the only one who's choking on the reasons why I tear my hair out this boat is sinking again i try to keep my head above the waves I'm writing words on a page and I'm trying to find inspiration again before I lose my mind but these days all I see are the clouds in my head the skies are filled with doubt telling me I'm better off dead it's a constant uphill struggle and I'm crawling on the ground and it makes my life seem meaningless when there's no one else around I'm away from all my family surrounded by defeat forced to make life choices based on your beliefs caught in a prison and i've thrown away the key
