Never Tell Never Know

I've been trying to reach a state of equilibrium
its not easy balancing out my life
every night i lie awake for far too long
wishing you were by my side
ill never tell you'll never know
there will always be a skyline
no matter where you go
and when you think you've reached the end
another one will show
ill promise you if you promise me
to never be alone
i won't last too long if I'm stranded in the cold
ill never tell you'll never know
you are the bruise
i don't remember getting
a tiny little cut that just won't stop bleeding
these days have turned to tests, accidents are waiting
but i have hope for you and i,
there was a reason for us meeting

Haven't Met

i see you walking by
you tell me i'm familiar
little do you know
that you'll also tell me
everything about you
in one simple night
i'll know you inside out
and you'll tell me something you thought you'd never share with anyone
i'll reply with all of the times i lied, through my teeth
a mutual discussion will occur, now we know how flawed we were
and we'll laugh and we'll cry, at the same time
i needed this night
i needed this night
so you see,
i looked familiar because you saw yourself in me
as did i, with you
i hate to admit, that i'm a little cautious
not because of my past
just because i'm uncertain
i appreciate your patience
and i'm sorry if i'm a burden
and you'll tell me something you thought you'd never share with anyone
i'll reply with all of the times i lied, through my teeth
a mutual discussion will occur, now we know how flawed we were
and we'll laugh and we'll cry, at the same time
i needed this night
i needed this night

Winter's Disease
03:46
|

the door is locked for a sense of security,
even though the criminal has the key
i've come down with a case of the winter's disease
diagnosed by the cold
i have the shakes, numbness and tingling
but who am i to complain at all
in this world we are so small, insignificant, and unordinary
let's just say i wish life was a fairy tale,
but instead we march until our death
counting down the time until there's nothing left
i'm kind of hoping, i'm kind of doubting
do i cross your mind, do you think about me
how exciting, this wind has become good friends with the lightning
its inviting, the forming of the storm that holds deception
and now you can't be told where you will go
it's just one of those things that you need to know, hello
so use your key and come inside
not only the liars tell the lies
meticulous thoughts run around my mind
so i'll justify myself tonight
but remember the cold compresses my truth,
it skews the words from me to you
homesick for a place you've never seen
it's a feeling of warmth when you're feeling free
so watch your step
because beneath your feet
could lie the road to mystery
i wouldn't want you to get lost in me
i've come down with the winter's disease
but graciously you'll move along,
place the key in the lock
please prove me wrong
and now we can't be told where we will go
could you look into my eyes and say hello
hello

Away From All the Edges

lately i'm disembodied and out of touch
i hear a resonating whisper
the sillouhette of a mockingbird keeps leaving me disfigured,
a fairytale, it's story time: a falsified perception.
this candlelit adventurer has no sense of direction
dimished hope, i'm grinding teeth and sleeping through this winter.
pressured by society, i keep pulling out the splinter
one by one we strive for life, hopeless thoughs and tortured minds
and home is where we pass the time, i'm coming back to say goodbye.
i've asked a lot of people how they're doing but never really cared,
their same generic answer never fails to fill the air.
id rather have a life with debts than no life and regrets,
so i'll walk alone, throwing stones until i can forget,
this twisted life has molded me, and now i can't turn back
like when you bend a metal paperclip, you'll never bend it back
but you can try
just save your breath, i'll tell myself theres nothing left,
and stagger down this one way road, broken down on my way home
i cant seem to make up my mind
you name is soft and i would love to catch your fall
easy, you're easy on the eyes
indulge in what we know, this comfort has no color
and that's okay with me
i'm not to argumentative, this roads been crossed before
i can't love you anymore

The Clock Strikes Regret

hello eyelids,
temporarily blinding
for a while i'll forget that there's no one here beside me
my bed is small, and i always sleep alone
i often wonder about where i'll make my home
and if this century is the last one that we'll see
i have a feeling that i'll live my life wastefully
why did it take so long for me to lose control
no matter where i go i'll never feel at home
and this life is a test where i find myself
over and out tonight
cheap alcohol and these cigarettes couldn't make this right
its times like these i find myself holding to the ground while i am freaking out
describe to me, the worst part of your mind
and then ill show you mine, because its not hard to find
i'll get this point across, make no mistake
someday ill be a better man than what i am today
maybe it's great that i am so unsatisfied
the only thing I'm searching for is a better life
why did it take so long for me to lose control
no matter where i go i'll never feel at home
and this life is a test where i find myself
over and out tonight
cheap alcohol and these cigarettes couldn't make this right
its times like these i find myself holding to the ground while i am freaking out
its not easy being sorry for some deeds that were so wrong

All or Nothing

call ya tell, i'm itching on the inside
i don't know when to feel
so i feel all the time
and when it builds, i have no release
so while the room spins,
i'm suffocating
and lately I've been all or nothing
and you fell right in-between
i said baby don't take this the wrong way
i just don't need this right now
you could say that i am petrified
but am i too young to wonder
when i'm gonna die
and will death be a friend?
i only have a few
my minds been narrow lately
how i wish this wasn't true
and lately I've been all or nothing
and you fell right in-between
i said baby don't take this the wrong way
i just don't need this right now
and then you said we could just be friends

Bottom Line
02:46
|

these things will forever be in my way
and it's starting to affect my physically
id be lying if I said i'm doing fine
theres so much on my mind
a constant state of sorrow
all these things I should have never done
and id hate to find out how you remember me
but the bottom line is,
i'm just wasting time
holding on to
what was never mine
and these days have turned to tests
I keep my fingers pressed upon my pulse
just to know i'm alive
stray away the house is in the distance
but the lights are dim
silent takes,
this hope has turned to ash
my mind is numb
this turning tongue tells of a time
we tried to twist fate
in our favor, it's now or later
I will tell you how ive been
but i'll leave out a few details
but the bottom line is,
i'm just wasting time
holding on to
what was never mine
and these days have turned to tests
I keep my fingers pressed upon my pulse
just to know i'm alive
don't turn the lights out, this worlds upside down
I can't even hold my own

If I Told You (feat. Bo)

i don't know this script you wrote
but i will follow your lead
could you go a little slow
because i'm not the actor
you might think that i would be
let's play your game
i played my last hand,
just to lose it all
i played this damn gamn,
just to fall
if i told you, how i felt
it would sound just like this
and lately, I've been running around
trying to figure out, just who i am
lets play this game
this time last week
i could have swore that i didn't care
i could fall in love with anyone
you just happened to be there
and now you've gone
faster than you've arrived,
and i don't think that it matters, much this time
lets play your game
i played my last hand,
just to lose it all
i played this damn game,
just to fall
if i told you, how i felt
it would sound just like this
and lately, I've been running around
trying to figure out, just who i am
if i told you how i felt
it would sound just like this

One Way Roads (feat. Bo)
02:18

i'm getting tired of fighting
all these reasons why i sing
i'm not afraid of the lightning
but i'm not too fond of this storm
have you asked yourself lately
just where you are wondering
they say these lonely roads are known to dead end on you
do you remember all the nights that we shared
no fighting no lighting, remember, don't be scared?
this home is a curse, locking memories inside
please turn off the lights, because there's no where to hide
nobody's home and the lights are out
i can't remember what I've been singing about
wondering, wondering, wondering why
wonder, wondering why
and we're wondering why
you have no desire,
we're wondering why, you're running away
i'm getting tired of fighting
all these reasons why i sing
