Find a way to keep you on your knees
I'll bury your memories in my back garden
Where I keep my family tree
There's no where else I'd rather you to be.
I'm a chore, I'll always come to you to beg for more and more
Find me here, I'll always wait for you until I get ignored
Forever waiting right outside your door.
You're always singing my song
I guess I'll never get along without you, I was proud of you
There's no way I'll get along
With the mindset that you gave me, wont you hate me?
Wont you stay on your side of the bed?
I'll just go back to where I came from.
Take a breath now, take it as you please
I'm going I'm not coming back for you
To see me crawling at your knees.
There's no where else you'd rather me to be.

Coffee
03:00

Another monday morning, spent with something boring,
this isn't time well spent, there must be more to this,
Not today, I won't let you take away my soul
there's more to me than money, I won't be spat out by you
Is this the best I can do?
Never knowing what I could do.
Is this the best I can do?
Always dreaming of something new.
I guess I'll never really know 'til I spread my wings and go.
Texting all my best friends, making paper airplanes,
There's lack of motivation, from being paid for boredom
I'll never settle when there's something better.
I'm getting over it.
I need that feeling.

Sat on the torn up seat off the same old train I know
I've got flowers in my head, Tulips and Rose
I'm shaking from the cold, zip up my coat
It's 9AM, no coffee 'cos I'm broke
I finally arrive after some time
I look at you and wish that you were mine,
the butterflies start kicking in and I feel so sick but I won't give in to it
I just need your colour on my skin
I'll let you runaway and forget who you were before
I came along to rescue you from disease
I'll protect you and everything you expect me to understand
that you and I were always meant to be
It's always you and me.
You meet me at the station, we start up a conversation
with how, your clothes look great, I love your hair
but I can't breathe you stole my air
but I catch my breath in time to laugh to the joke you told about your class
It's hard for me to focus when you're giving me that look again

Do This Alone
03:35

All I know, is that I've never felt so alone
I keep busy, but it doesn't seem to distract me from
Being stuck here in this rut and I know it (and I know it's a pain)
I'd pick myself up but I can't seem to do it (I'm always failing)
I can't do this alone don't need advice, you need to listen
I can't do this on my own.
'Cos I need my friends to share this weight
'Cos I can't seem to hold it, I'm gunna break.
I can't do this on my own.
I don't know how it got so bad, how I ended up alone
Guess I started too many fires burnt those bridges to the ground.
So many people cut me off, they wanna see me turning soft
And I don't know where's left to turn, but I can't do this on my own
'Cos I'm so sick of changes
Creating Strangers
So sick of changes
Forgetting faces
I used to be someone, now barely recognize what I've become.

Better Days
04:19
|

|
I've always thought about the days
when we were young and free and brave
and all the flowers in the garden never faded away
And it's about time we made the change
Untie the ropes and re arrange
All of the memories you kept under my name
Close your eyes, I'm barely breathing
But I'll make it out just fine.
It's over again I'll no longer pretend
That my mind is all over the place
So pick up this heart of mine and tear it in two
But both pieces are mine I wont leave one alone with you.
Forever fighting with the demons in my head
I'm so lost inside this ocean of my pain and my regret
So step aside and let me run from all of this mess
I'm a slave to your sentiment, something I try to second guess.
I never thought you'd be there in the end
You'll never be there in the end, it's time to let go.
Head in my hands I scream and shout
Trying to figure you out
It seems so easy fighting back
But I know you'd like that, you want that.

The Perfect Thing
02:57
|
|||
|
It's one of those days again, where I lose all motivation
and my mind thinks smoking cigarettes will cure me of the emptyness.
It's one of those days again, where I can't wait to go back to bed
can't face the world today, I'd rather isolate what's left of me
I keep falling back to sleep
I don't stand for anything
besides my broken dreams
I'll never be that perfect thing you want from me,
so leave me be and give up.
I'll never be that perfect thing you want from me.
This house is so quiet and my thoughts are running riot
put my faith in food delivery, but it fails to deliver me
so where do I go now? With no sense of aspirations
staying in bed won't solve my problems, but it seems to work for others
How can it be?
Seems to me the only god damn thing, I'm here for is for you to bring, me down.
Count me out of this race I don't care right now.
