Addiction 03:30
You're asking me to stay But do you want me here? You haven't made clear You haven't When I try to walk away I'm overcome with fear I can't hold back the tears It's been so many years You only seem to care When I'm about to go That's when you say you know And you put on your show We're going nowhere In this in between Standing on the seam Either sew or let it bleed This isn't love It's an addiction Attracted to the friction Of the constant struggle Seeing double Blinded by lust Thinking it must be true But it's time I got over you Just let me know If you're for real I can't keep playing games It's all the same And I can't feel The way that I've been feeling These days Do you really want me to stay? Or is it something you say? You're telling me to stay That everything's alright When all we do is fight Telling me not to walk away But maybe I am right I should hold on tight And move toward the light You only seem to care When I am feeling strong Ready to move on Singing a different song I'm going somewhere Away from in between Where I can rip the seam Til there's no more you and me This isn't love It's an addiction Attracted to the friction Of the constant struggle Seeing double Blinded by lust Thinking it must be true But it's time I got over you Just let me know If you're for real I can't keep playing games It's all the same And I can't feel The way that I've been feeling These days Do you really want me to stay? Or is it something you say? It's gonna hurt so bad But it's only temporary And I'm gonna be so sad But I know that life will carry Me on

Pain Body 03:29
I can't pretend that this is okay Oh I can't fake another smile And push the pain away Lately I haven't been me I've been gutted out No good explanation for the feelings that come out And I keep hesitating can't get out of bed The pain in my heart or the heaviness in my head Weigh my down and I'm told all I need is time The hands aren't moving on this clock of mine Let me shed this pain body and let me be me I can only say I'm sorry and let you watch me bleed Til the tears are dry and my mind is returns With the gift of another harsh lesson learned I guess it's my turn now To bury my face And clench my hands On my pillow case Closed the door never open again No more you and me as family Lovers or friends I thought I was better than this heart break mess But I'm sure I had it coming I must confess Doesn't it make it any easier to know I'm to blame Stuck feeling like I'm dying or going insane Let me shed this pain body and let me be me I can only say I'm sorry and you can watch me leed Til the tears are dry and my mind returns WIth the gift of another harsh lesson learned I can't pretend that I'm doing okay But I still know tomorrow is another day And with each day brings healing Tween the sun and the moon I just wish the sweet relief would get here soon It's all so final This type of goodbye No more questions to ask Or reasons to provide Nothing to fix Nothing left to hold on One day it's so real And the next day gone But I'll move on and inside this pain The brightest light of peace Is what will remain Knowing I will find another I will love again But I'm stuck here drowning in the sadness Waiting for it to end

Dexatrim 03:43
I can't detach Can't stand where I am In between a furnace And the promised land Like a thirsty ghost I wake up tasting sand Reach for a toast But end with empty hands Missiles Explosions Breaking ear drums Eyes filled with smoke But I can't run So taunted in positive states Haunted I try to see straight My plate is untouched Can't get the food to my face How can I get hungry? When my life is Dexatrim Racing heart and mind While I grow thin So many mistakes All the weakness I've exposed This is what I chose This is what I chose It's hard now to get to where I used to be This isn't being It's retreating To the land of the "un"free Reaction to faint applause Self destruction for no cause Wounds bleed without gauze Or antiseptic This impending infection Blown to personal pandemic Can't handle rejection In this apocalyptic epic Zombie movie Closed stores rubble Bruising Being recycled Reduce me reuse me How can I get hungry? When my life is Dexatrim Racing heart and mind While I grow thin So many mistakes All the weakness I've exposed This is what I chose This is what I chose It's almost the end I say it with inflection I stare in the dirty puddle And I see no reflection It's almost the end I can't find my soul Hidden like a diamond in a mountain of coal Feeling dirty and cold All these years too old

(Pirate Noises, Whispers etc..."Walk the Plank") Regretting is the opposite of presence The surface is so far from the essence Common sense is so far from truth Ignorance isn't 1 n 1 with youth 3D is less than reality Dimensionless is the life we lead Emotions, time, intangibles, Destiny Miracles are created daily Jumping out at more Than your eyes and ears It penetrates touch, taste, Feelings, fears, Intuition premonition Visions and dreams It's all happening...it's all happening Outside of my shell Is it safe? I can't tell I really can't tell Moving fearlessly From Cowardly Lion to Leonidas Rise of power I can't fight this Playing through pain I can right this ship If we get hit Let's patch the holes Here we go and on we roll Rising and traveling above the water We stay cool while it gets hotter The waves they rising So must we Lessons that we learn out at sea Forgetting is the opposite of mindfulness Want it back but we can't rewind all this Right now is where we find the mindful bliss The light that hides behind all of this Once we might slip Twice we might slip Thrice we might slip We'll still right the ship If we get hit Let's patch the holes Here we go and on we roll Rising and traveling above the water We stay cool while it gets hotter Let's shed our pain bodies They're not the real us Underneath Regretting is the opposite of presence The surface is so far from the essence Common sense is so far from truth Ignorance isn't 1 n 1 with youth If we get hit Let's patch the holes Here we go and on we roll Rising and traveling above the water We stay cool while it gets hotter

Nobody Knows 03:56
Espionage Data collection Finding laws For the system correction Catlike claws Whimpering deflection Blood is drawn In the public section Mud slinging Scowls and glares Ears ringing But nobody cares Best interests are self-served From personal buffets Of emotions and nerves Nobody knows what they're doing Not even me I am hypocrisy Let's agree to disagree Nobody knows how they ruin Everything Nobody knows what they're doing Not even me I am hypocrisy Let's agree to disagree Nobody cares how they ruin Anything For any reason at all Let's throw poison tipped insults Til one of us collapses And wait to say sorry Til somebody passes Treat each other with respect Until the casket's gone Then back to being bitter The show must go on Find new enemies New pin cushions To keep smiling Kicking and pushing Nobody knows what they're doing Not even me I am hypocrisy Let's agree to disagree Nobody knows how they ruin Everything Nobody knows what they're doing Not even me I am hypocrisy Let's agree to disagree Nobody cares how they ruin Anything For any reason at all Fake togetherness to weather the quick storm Then back to being forlorn Look at my side My thorn is bigger than your thorn

Waiting 03:57
Waiting Staring at the flames as it burns out Hesitating Holding hope by the threads of my thrift store couch So much finger-pointing All the self-anointing "Chosen-one" and "Victim" I keep disappointing So I'll be disjointing Retreating within Jump on in let's fade away together Riding the edge of waking and dreaming Where the sun is always beaming Into my mind Where I can see forever To the not-so-distant place Where everything will be okay Talking Burning out the ears of the ones I love Sitting Instead of walking Thinking answers fall from above So much finger-pointing All the self-anointing "Chosen-one" and "Victim" I keep disappointing So I'll be disjointing Retreating within Jump on in let's fade away together Riding the edge of waking and dreaming Where the sun is always beaming Into my mind Where I can see forever To the not-so-distant place Where everything will be okay More silence More peace More action More good deed Less need Instantaneously free

This whole road Paved by the untold So keep on walking with me Hold your soul Ignore the gold and Let's just go on and be You and me Both perfectly Exactly who we are Truth and dreams Sewn joint by seems Into one big star Let's throw it in the sky then Why would we go there When we don't know where Or what it is? So let's not be so scared Pretend we so so care How we live Let's just do it organically Manically Nothing to keep Let's just move Until we sleep The story told On blank pages controlled Let's stop reading and write Share ours souls Forget the goals And Love every day and night You and me Both happily Holding hand and hand Truth is our dream We join and beam The brightest light in the land Let's shine it in the sky then Why would we go there When we don't know where Or what it is? So let's not be so scared Pretend we so so care How we live Let's just do it organically Manically Nothing to keep Let's just move Until we sleep
