I've been holding out for better I'm not gonna let this ever Find a way back to me Seen as the hungriest these days until I see a familiar face and they cut right through and it's sweet. So what if just for tonight I hold my insides inside I now know you by the letter am I gonna know you forever? Probably, get used to it It's so ridiculous we say everything that we don't convey that was never there in the first place So what if just for tonight I hold my insides Where did you go?

See, it's simple Not everything's intricate all the time I count the days but what are they? Besides, if it's not keeping you up nights It's a waste of - Life throws sets of introspective mess in your eyes and I'm least likely to forget Watch it windfall Answers drop from trees and, naturally, to light The comfort is so warmly sounding like a rhyme Meticulous means you're probably not doing it - Right to call off all these bets, there's no contest What you struggle with is usually what's for the best What's this for? Explain to me one more time Why it's so easy to find myself in Alabaster Read the symbols Are you accomplishing or merely standing by? Did you earn that spot or did you steal it disguised? Are you innocent but feel like you're losing the - Light the ends of everything Quit constantly looking for what's next

Color me cardinal and crimson Color me cursed Color my hands red For not putting yours first My legs became engines and pistons My legs became stronger than most are My words became empty and hollow My words are still stronger than most are So we took that road to Bristol where her and 95 would meet Decisions made clear as a crystal. Ear to the throne, heir to the street. Was I selfish? Did it take long to figure out? What was it like Not having me to kick around? So we took that road to Bristol where her and 95 would meet Decisions made clear as a crystal. Heir to the throne, ear to the street. Oh Angeline, You got me on the edge again On the mezzanine, on my hands and knees You got me on the edge again You've got me on the edge

It's getting to the point Where I try to skip ahead there's really nothing left but remembering and it's all I did proving you were wrong not that it matters now there's really no argument against who stood where and how. but i feel like the fool that tried to rush right in so stupid so sure in my ignorance now i'm the only one here holding up their end of the bargain it all reaches a slowing somber and it doesn't look like it will be - careful what we say we can't afford mistakes another way to explain our planned fall from grace but i won't cry for casualties. because between you and "i have no idea who could possibly love a wretch like" me thanks for not being so good you couldn't lie to your best friend a ghost of who you were and i was oblivious now i'm the only one here holding up their end of the bargain it all reaches a slowing somber and it doesn't look like it will be starting

Lost inside a tapestry You had your back to me and I got a little more cunning for each minute spent running so then we had no tact who knew that'd bite us? i did but i stayed quiet and discrete i guess that i get it, i'm just annoyed by the overly monotonous tone of his voice and that chlorine smell that reminded me of burning you thought you knew so well and i found that concerning because no one could tell that you weren't lost just learning funny things you think about come flying out of your mouth while i drink but its not enough consumption to be where i wanted then we go back it's just like you to get mad over insignificant things i guess that i get it, i'm just annoyed by the overly monotonous tone of his voice and that chlorine smell that reminded me of burning you thought you knew so well and i found that concerning because no one could tell that you weren't lost just learning how promises fly out your mouth no excuses, no ways out you worry about the sound

Considering you don't know it's all around us Something in the air laced with an ancient since Give me one more day to figure out myself and I'll quiet down and learn to tame my lions It's just dyed in the wool That no message can get through Yeah, even I can't lay me down If there's a problem then rue that one day we'll all act like you but why even scare ourselves now? Even if you don't I'll justify myself Cause and effect are measurements in time Despite if it's true, I'll dignify these shelves with achievements symbolizing i'm alive I wish the sky wasn't blue I wish I could always think of you To remind myself not to let me down If there's a problem or two Maybe one day I'll be less confused and finally figure it all out.

No one notices you're not here We've each gone in a separate direction I look crazy talking to myself I don't care how I look when I'm with anybody else I say the opposite thing sometimes Not on purpose, I can't stand the pressure I feel crazy all by myself I don't care how I feel when I'm with anybody else Beat on me like beast of burden. I wish you'd say what you want. There are places I will never go. I guess I have to get better at dreaming. I feel better all by myself. I don't care how I feel when I'm with anybody else. Beat on me like beast of burden. I wish you'd say what you want. What you want To give up Remain in love and build a home Start to grow up Stop doing drugs Learn to trust and read more.
