Fallen Leaves
03:36

|
The verge of tears
The end of time
It gets so hard to compartmentalize
What I’ve lost
And what remains
Do I really have a say?
The ugly wrath of cupidity
Reveals itself with strength and impulsivity
I’m holding on
But slipping fast
I seek the strength to tighten up my grasp
Was it all just a means to an end?
Or am I just hurt to have lost a dear friend?
Should I sort out all the memories?
Or toss them with the fallen leaves?
Never to be heard from again
Was it all just a means to an end?
Or am I just hurt to have lost a dear friend?
Sometimes your gone too long, to ever go back again
And that’s what’s so hard to accept

Storm
02:51
|
|||
|
I see your face
It’s shining
And I know
It’s going to hurt
You’re my storm, my lighting
And I know
What it’s worth
If you see me
Set me free
Free

Deeper Now
03:36
|
|||
|
A passing thought, an epiphany
Expired love just often needs some time to breathe
The moment that you feel this way
You’ll understand fate’s tendency to permeate
With an aura of eternity
A reel of memories feels so painfully discreet
Nostalgia is a form of greed
Or maybe it’s just chemical intensity
It all feels so much deeper now
Yet we’ve found our place somewhere on higher ground

Noisy Thoughts
03:43
|
|||
|
Breath it in
Send it deeper still
Try to let it go
Don’t rehash
The pictures of the past
That haunt you to the core
Trust in time
You’ll wish you hadn’t dwelled
It’s all so obsolete
It was all for the best
Don’t you know?
Can’t you see?
It was all for the best
Don’t you know?
Can’t you see?
It’s easy to romanticize a memory
Your expectations warp reality
All I know it that I feel so free
When you’re standing
Right in front of me

Scary Movies
03:21
|
|||
|
The thoughts I have about you
As I lie awake
Hurt a little less
With each passing day
Everything I loved about you
Seems to be gone
I don’t blame you for changing
But accepting it is hard
I stumble into thinking
Of when we were kids
Watching Redbox scary movies
And taking turns bringing back the disk
Even then we found compromise
Futile as it was
It doesn’t take that much
To show someone your love
And it hurts to lose a friend
But it is what it is in the end
Sometimes you’re gone too long
To ever go back again
And that’s what’s so hard to accept
I tried to grasp for answers
And came up with none
I might have tried to join a battle
That hadn’t just begun
Or maybe I’m not the savior
I always thought I was
You can only assume your value
When someone else holds out their cup
And it hurts to lose a friend
But it is what it is in the end
Sometimes you’re gone too long
Too ever go back again
And that’s what I’ve tried to accept
And that’s what’s so hard to accept
