Spectator

It’s like looking in a mirror when I look at you
Eyes so wide they lose the meaning of the color blue
And all the things that I won’t say
I know you do
Tell me why’d I come so far tonight to see you
When your back is to the door
Tell me why should I believe this means a thing
Oh god, I’d rather be actively ignored
There’s a place inside where nothing’s meant to be
But it’s empty all the same
Spectator to the show
Somehow you’ll never know
That it was me
You were welcoming
Home
I remember every single word you ever say
Soft and fast and high and well at any time of day
And all the years that people change
Should mean today
So why don’t they
Why don’t they
I need you to understand ’cause if you don’t
Then what was any of me for (Then what was anything for)
Spectator, I’m alone
You never could have known
That it was me
You were welcoming
Home
In this room
Of endless sound
My loudest screams
All would drown
And there you are
The closest I’ll ever be
And you won’t turn around
’Cause you’re a spectator like me
(Two hours passed
You left, then you came back
You closed it out, we clapped
Then I went home)

Futility

.
Futility wanders afraid and alone
And where we have found her no angel could know
Safe as the wind blows
Safe as the sea
Futility’s sick of the leitmotif sound
The body celestial beat into the ground
Don’t sate her blowout
Come set her free
You’re stepping on the sidewalk crack
But it won’t break her cul de sac
You wait too long she won’t come back
From this futility attack
You take her life and make it heard
But you won’t even speak the words
You go too far she won’t come back
From this futility attack
Futility whites out the dream that once was
And there in its stead lies the last reach of love
Careful suspension
Careless belief
Futility sees what nobody has seen
Her only hope left is the space in between
Dots all connected
And you are the key
You’re stepping on the sidewalk crack
But it won’t break her cul de sac
You wait too long she won’t come back
From this futility attack
You take her life and make it heard
(Closer, come)
But you won’t even speak the words
(closer, come)
You go too far she won’t come back
(closer, come close)
From this futility attack
You said it yourself
Through lips of a snake
You got sickness, you got health
And the one thought you can’t shake
’Cause sure, you’re sittin pretty
(You know what you are)
In your world on the back of your hands
(You know what you are)
But don’t you even try to tell me
(You know what you are)
That you wouldn’t give every life you’ve lived
For a world that understands

Anything For You
02:41

.
We could be friends
I’m what you need
You’re what I need
We’re both still here
We’d get along
I’m just like him
And just enough like you to make it all so clear, all those years
I want to not be alone
I want the world to not be over
It’s not your fault that you don’t know
But it could be my responsibility
If you let me
I’d do anything for you
I think I’d do
Anything for you
What’s the point in hiding
How many times have I tried
How do I make you aware of me
In a way that matters
We were so close this time
So close this time
/
We were closer
/
We were so close this time
You could’ve saved me from this living death that is non-life

Dark Eyes

Dark eyes
You’re the only ones who’ve seen what I’ve seen
Dark eyes
You’re the only ones achieving the dream
And oh, do you regret it
Do you wish you hadn’t tried
And was it worth it
Would it matter if you’d died
And was it selfish
Who’d you hurt along the way
And was it stupid
Would anyone have stayed
Is there a chance today
Can you hear me when I say
Was it always gonna end up like this
Was it always gonna end up like this
Is there anything your prayer might miss
Was it always gonna end up like this
Springtime
Does it make you wish the heat could wash away
Sunrise
Do you mean a single thing you ever say
Elsewhere
There’s a world you never knew, never owned
But out there
There’s really only one place left for home
And oh baby, did you make it?
Did you wooly-pull our eyes
And if they buy it
Does that make it worth the lies
Oh, and would you help me
Would we make a perfect team
And do it our way, our way, our way
Spill your dark eyes through my dream
When we bleed, it’s what we mean
And they’ll hear us when we scream
Was it always gonna end up like this
Was it always gonna end up like this
Is there anything your prayer might miss
Was it always gonna end up like this
Was it always gonna end up like this
Was it always gonna end up like this
Is there something mother nature might miss
Was it always gonna end up like this
And is it love? [x∞]
