aura 02:21
i could be the one you think about constantly i could be the one on your mind when you're waiting in line when you're staring at your phone wondering who you should call the aura that surrounds you looks just like the bright white light at the end of your life i'm not ready to sacrifice everything for one night if i wake up in my casket, do you think i could make it? could i escape it or should i accept it?
2.
bloom 01:39
if i go with you, would all of this come true? i look to you for my next move i follow every cue the way i look at you i want you to look at me that way ...not like i'd ever say that talk it out with someone else shake this feeling of overwhelming guilt
3.
upstream 02:38
slipping down a slope never getting closer to home get back on track before you make a decision you'll regret pull those thoughts out of your head push upstream toward something you never thought you'd get but this time it slipped between your fingertips you lost it they know your deepest darkest secrets they see you dreaming they feed your demons
4.
maggot soul 02:34
what you want is never gonna come not for everyone but you're one of the unlucky few to never achieve anything you lift your chin to speak again words escape your breath visible in the cold open air the flowing wind on your soft hair kept me wondering what's happening where was she when i left my body? how did you appear right behind me? please could you just speak to me? why didn't you explain what you were thinking?
5.
tomb 02:53
pray i feel something move as i lift you out of the tomb i'll restore your body to the life that it once knew replace your memory with life of you and me together like we always should've been but here we are back at the start look past your eyes but never find what lies behind your empty stare is it you in there?
6.
7.
cauldron 01:11
suddenly my perspective shifted i was stuck on the differences between exits and entrances if you were there, you would've seen it the way i did it would've been so clear
8.
the garden 01:58
i only want what's best for you it should be clear that that's the truth i tend to you like the garden take time to smell the flowers everything changed when winter came when you're here everything's so clear when you're here everything feels real
9.
mellow 02:19
when you want me, you can find me where you left me i'll be waiting patiently on my knees you have no clue as you walk in the room we all want to be in your shoes live life as you if you need me, i'll be here if you hear a creak or a knock at your door, it might be me
10.
lull 01:16
you wanted me but only beneath the layer of filth that covers me you need to see life like me to understand why i choose to be forever lonely never leave me please
11.
potion 01:04
12.
look both ways before you let me cross your mind it'll happen from time to time don't rehash what happened in your past never let it define where you're headed
13.
always thought you had my back really sucks to find out like that
14.
otherworld 01:59
placing my hand in yours regretting where it's been before won't be much time i guess 'til i work through this mess just when i thought you were just like me, you revealed you're like the other ones living in the otherworld while i have no idea how i ended up here don't ask me what to do next i wish i could answer that don't expect me to help you out when i struggle to help myself
15.
when you open the door, step foot on the floor replay what they said and how you responded instant regret in the pit of my stomach there's no right thing to say life is a game and no one will teach you how to play
16.
teardrop 01:05
one teardrop falls upon your cheek and i know just how you feel so i won't ask don't take it like that that's not what i meant
17.
vaporware 02:16
you built me up to be something in your head i was never meant to exist in three dimensions you were the one to lift me up when i was down lay my head on your chest if i'm feeling like shit i never swore so everyone else knows your secret rest your guilty head put my memory to rest if i exist to be just a gear in a machine serving a greater body that has nothing to offer me why try to succeed?
18.
an abyss 02:04
as i step into the abyss i hope you don't go looking for me again don't slow down never turn back around it's only an excuse you tell yourself you're being helped you're the one i was counting on where do i turn now that you're gone?
19.
wallow 01:59
isn't it about time you told them what's on your mind? get it off your chest and get out of bed you don't need any rest you never really did anyway get lost trying to find my own thoughts never thought i'd get used to this incompetence rearrange your life then get used to it then you'll be all set easier said than accomplished
20.
slowers 02:30
i'm immune to the shit you're trying to pull where were you when we needed a hand? hiding in the bathroom stall we all saw you're the type to never get there always stuck right where you began forever and ever
21.
wood village 03:01
you step into the light look down think about getting out you tell yourself
