“Awaken and seize the day”, they say
“You can’t keep goin’ on this way.”
My reply,
“So kind, nevermind, just that I discovered why
And where my nightmares ignite.
So I’ll…”
Be sleeping off daylight to hide these eyes
Nocturnally confined
My heart races, I fight to speak
As words crawl memories grow feet
Within the grips of lunacy
Such recollections break me
Now I believe
In sleeping off daylight to hide these eyes
Nocturnally confined
Coming to late afternoon, I greet the moon
Wide-eyed by midnight
Day breaks and it offers me
Tranquil, golden serenity
Been sleeping off daylight to hide these eyes
Nocturnally confined
Coming to late afternoon, I greet the moon
Wide-eyed by midnight

Straitjacket

It’s some creature
It’s some shadow I’m walkin’ in
So tell me preacher
For whose skin do I seem fit?
‘Cuz I’m tearin’ out my brain
Well, my head’s been holdin’ it in
And I’m burstin’ at the seams
Who is lucky?
And whose pride won’t turn down a fight?
So tell me sister
Should I choose one side of this highway?
‘Cuz I’m tearin’ out my brain
Well, my head’s been holdin’ it in
And I’m burstin’ at the seams
Straitjacket restraints
Could never set this one straight
It’s time to call it a day
We’ll chew the buckles away
It’s some creature
It’s some shadow I’m walkin’ in
So tell me Krishna
For whose skin do I seem fit?
‘Cuz I’m tearin’ out my brain
I’ve been diggin’ at my skin
And I’m burstin’ at the seams
Straitjacket restraints
Could never set this one straight
It’s time to call it a day
We’ll chew the buckles away
It’s some creature
It’s some shadow I’m walkin’ in
So tell me preacher
For whose skin do I seem fit?
‘Cuz I’m tearin’ out my brain
But my head’s been holdin’ it in
And I’m burstin’ at the seams

Take a breath at least until it’s passed
Take my head, here beat it in to death
Been diggin’ an early grave
But it probably won’t stick
Take my hand at least until it’s passed
But gimme my head you’ve poisoned it to death
I know that this won’t stick
I know that this won’t stick
But I’ve been workin’ at finding a way to please you
I’m workin’ at finding a way to please you
I need you to breathe through
Or I don’t know what I’m gonna do
Bury the hatchet at least until it’s passed
Now look at me proceed to do the math
You know that I won’t stay
We once went good now gone astray

I Realize

Your presence my present
I would dare not tear it
I’ll fold up the paper and place in my pocket
A token I treasure
A comforting gesture
A lesson relearned everytime that I look in your eyes
And you smile
I realize
Accepting the syrup old faces have shook up again
A codeine like potion seducing emotion within
No rhyme no reason why
Could dare justify
A rush of adrenaline instantly I am drawn in
I said, “how are you my darling? I don’t wanna hear where you’ve been”
For the time that was passed by has not changed your eyes
Your presence my present
I would dare not tear it
I’ll fold up the paper and place in my pocket
A token I treasure
A comforting gesture
A lesson relearned everytime that I look in your eyes
And you smile
I realize
Each moment I’ve wasted complacently slipping away
This time is for takin’ I don’t wanna fake it again
For the time that has passed by has not changed my mind
Your presence my present
I would dare not tear it
I’ll fold up the paper and place in my pocket
A token I treasure
A comforting gesture
A lesson relearned everytime that I look in your eyes
And you smile
I realize
It’s all mine

Painfully obvious to see
Practically dancin’ around my feet
I swore to never let this be
Now here it lies in bed with me
Thought all I needed was a little bit of your time
To help define, realize missing piece of mind
What I created was a failure feeding my denial
Forget it, regret it, better left where it lies
Redundant null and void, I’ll be
More of a ghost than you were to me
I’ll offer up no sympathy for all your hollow tendencies
So if you were needing just a little bit of my time
Forget it, regret it, because it’s all mine
Take every chance I gave
Erase the days from your mind
Pathetic, I let it
Distort, reduce, and divide
Disrupting my life
Reluctant, stubborn, I can see
The track is splayed ahead of me
Yet none of this will deter the
Defiance I have not buried
So if you were needing just a little bit of my time
Forget it, regret it, because it’s all mine
Take every chance I gave
Erase the taste from your mind
Pathetic, I let it
Distort, reduce, and divide
Disrupted my life

How We Hide

I wanted love from you, from you
Was that too much to ask of you?
‘Cuz now it’s never knew you at all
And I never knew how it felt
I wish I didn’t know how to lie
I wish I didn’t know how to hide from you
I thought the best of you, of you
Was that too much, too fast for you?
And now it’s never knew you at all
And I never knew how it felt
I wish I didn’t know how to lie
I wish I didn’t know how to hide
It’s like I never knew you at all
And I never knew how ya felt
I wish I didn’t know how to hide
I wish I didn’t know how to lie
It’s like I never knew you at all - like I never knew you at all
