What You Didn't Say
03:30

I'm sorry for your loss
But it's your own damn fault
I can't believe you've made it this far
And you have the nerve to flap your lips at me
About things never established
I hope, for your sake, that this will be forgotten
Now is not the time for this
You've made an ass of yourself for too long
And I won't stand for it
If you said you wanted to keep them, do you think I'd act that way?
And if you think I will pay
For what you didn't say
Then you've lost more than I thought

How strange it is that it takes less than one week
To put ourselves back at the bottom and build again
However scary I may seem, I promise that
I don't need you to watch me; I don't need you to place me
I understand that it's difficult, maybe more for you than I at this point
How are you supposed to know?
I'm not sure that I know but one thing right now
Extreme as it may have been
The explosion, the outburst, the boiling point, the overflow
Those eyes are not the solution
They call the shots pretty well sometimes

Don't You Tell Me That
04:31

Don’t you tell me
I don’t have time for this
I must read, I must write
Obligation into reciprocity
They say it’ll pay itself back
Scribe, scholar
This altruistic, malignant beast
There is no ulterior motive
Or so I’d like to believe
That when it’s all said and done
After scrambling you all, we won’t bleed
Don’t you tell me
When I return
That I don’t belong
You want to move forward
And I know it seems like I could not care less
Scribe, scholar
I have no time for this
I will find time for this

Restore
03:36
|
|||
All the words unsaid
The thoughts I left upstairs
Every day another stitch
A meal unprepared
Blink and you will miss it
Sigh and you will never be missed
Lost in the pages of time
On a road we once knew so well
Doubt becomes our guide
Empty yourself to restore
All you thought was lost
These machines walk on two feet
It's all too there
That what sets us apart from them
Is what we left upstairs
And this day there may be change
But you know too well
Exactly what is stopping you

The Way Down
03:17
|

She'll never know the way down
From the tree in which she sits
She's climbed into delusion
And no one knows the way out
It's all locked within her vision
Forced to remain lest she learns to see
The bumps are all over her skin
Running down her arms, her legs
Like the night she can no longer remember
She can no longer remember
Head in her hands
Bleeding out on the sidewalk
"I just need a bandage," she mumbles
I just passed her by
She means little more to me than what I saw
Blood on her hands and face
Collapsed on the pavement
She's not a part of my climb
She's not part of my climb

Those Grey Eyes
02:16
|
|||
You can have my time and one of my ears
But I'll be damned if I let this get personal
I'll spend an eternity in your eyes
Only halfway there
If only it wasn't so routine
Could there have been something different, something unique?
How I'd like to think that there could really be something
How we play ourselves in this life
It's all a ploy
It's no ploy
