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
2.
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
3.
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
6.
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
