Chapter One
04:00
|
|||
|
alone together in the empire of cities
we shared headphones on that crowded train
my only vivid memory is what we listened to
the day was smouldering hot and melted us closer
reminiscing on our old favorite songs
cold sweat and chills cover my nostalgic self
what was lost in the blur not to be found again
lives in the headphones that i keep in my hood

i lean on my best assumptions but im not ok
im so afraid im losing you; you drift so far away
please just look me in the eye i think im losing you
please just look me in the eyes is there something left in you?
ill cope with the pain that took me away
far from where i was yesterday
but “lets get back together”
makes me want you back in shame
how i wish i could hate you
for everything youve done
you toyed with my heart and broke us apart
how i wish i could hate you
how i wish i would say to you
“im hurting bad right now”
but its been too long and the moment is gone
so i know ill never say to you

And I Try
03:32

few days ago i didnt know her name
the mysteries about her drive me insane
she said “my hearts a grenade
so youd best be on your way”
i try and i try to keep you satisfied
but i still dont know why
i try but i cant find a way out of the dark
and i try to escape but its left its mark
some time ago i lost my way
trying to revert to past temptations
tell me: did i get too close to the light?
did i scare you off into the dark
and get lost on the way?
i lost my thoughts im hypnotized
by every little thing

i know id rather be alone right now
the time has come to make a distinction
i promised you love
ill tell you who you are soon
if losing yous the only way to find love
i cant stop this from taking me over again
and it goes on
a year ago today i fell for my first love
autumn approached as she crept away
for she had to leave
both you and summer are fresh and here
but ill have to leave come winter
and if we are each others loves i cant leave you
i cant stop this from taking me over again
and it goes on

Riptide
04:04
|
|||
|
do you intend on bringing me in through the reeling?
your presence will haunt me in through and out of the daylight
its time now to realize i might not have you like you say
maybe losing you will make me want you more…
i could stay up all night then dream of what could be
a dream is just a hopeful thought - thats all she is to me
lost races and empty thoughts as you take my love and run
and your dark hair with brown eyes are slipping away from me
maybe this riptide will tear us apart at the seams
stop and look around - will you remember me?
maybe i cant stop loving you for now - pain is a kind of bliss to me

I Feel Free
01:44
|
|||
|
oh did you know?
the worlds closing in on me
i feel free
all of my friends
are losing their edge on me
i feel free
|

7. |

|
this town is a very small town
all the wishing and wanting wont get you what you want
watching all the time go
looking for a release
i think ive found a resource
i hope it doesnt take me
of modern emotions controlled by the notion
what am i striving for if every day is the same?
am i just working to return to square one?
rumors spread by bored souls only lead to our demise
and im tired of the same five people and conversation
of modern emotions controlled by the notion

Under My Thumb
03:35
|
|||
|
you were under my thumb; i dont know why
i caged you from me and my mind as well
if i was so cruel, whyd i get your time?
misused abused and my time came in swells
while forgiving me helped you in the end
do not let that be a lesson for all
naiive hopes that some will be your friend:
naif emotions scattered out on a wall
why do we thrive off what we cannot have?
must we reward those who give nothing back?
hopes are lost and found again while dreams calve
pardons are made while apologies lack
when nights are lost and feelings turn to crumb
i should be the one thats under your thumb

All Night/Day
02:44
|
|||
|
today was the perfect day to lay out in the sun
laughing and joking with old friends
wish there wasnt an ending: surreal vision
we took our sweet time
loving every second of it all
warm nights
gazing at the night sky
warm nights
breathing with the ocean
i wouldnt change a second of that moment
my girl and my friends were surrounding me
looking for problems: theyre nowhere to be found
when ive got a belly full of jumbleberry pie
al night i dreampt of today
light shines through the window pane
