Sting

I need you should be a simple thing to feel
And holding you against me should bring a calm
But there's a burning beneath my skin
Like a stab at my fingertips
I slip and pulsing comes pushing through
That sting of all the insecurities I feel.
That one day you would find somebody's touch to tear away those years
To take away the burdens I've become accustomed to
To shake away the years of rot that clouded my view of you
To sweep off the dust on a torn open chest
And breath in a fresh air into a seldom trusted lung
Tell me something simple some sense of truth to pass the time
To trade away this silence for a whisper
To breath my air in for me as the pounding hits my head
You are the song in the back of my head
You are the words that I wrote but never read
You are the song in the back of my head
You are my worst.

Sitting on this hardwood floor with my back against your bedroom door
I still feel you in my bones and smell you on my clothes
You're still inside my head finding ways to break the quiet
Repeating words that you said
I'd give anything for silence
I still shake and shiver under duress
I still find myself shaking
Still hoping that you'll miss me 'cause you're still here in my dreams
And everyday now seems endless
Your sides not as warm as it used to be
'Cause this room is growing colder yet familiar to me
Those flaws you once loved are still part of who I am
But you couldn't love them anymore
You just couldn't pretend
You chose the lie of someone else's attention
No you just couldn't pretend
No one will love me half as much as I love them
I still leave the light on your side of the bed
Your pillows still indented from the last time that it held your head
I still leave the light on.

Currents

What you're doing now is none of my business
But I still wonder where you are or where we'd be
Are they the one or do you still think of me?
But what good does that do
What good do I do?
Knocking back drinks and dwelling on you
But hey, I've found comfort in the simplest of things
I no longer wonder if it's you when my phone rings
I embraced the quiet, I embraced the truth
That you're now okay I can go on without you
Comparing the crashing of waves to the things on my mind
You race over me like the tide
And I felt warmth from the currents grip
And I felt safe 'cause I let it wash me away
I felt the sand slip beneath my feet
Letting the current carry me
I let the strength of the cold take me beneath
I stared through the wake
Relieved of the weight and I let it wash me away
I let it wash me away.

Paradise

You wanted
You wanted
You wanted Paradise
It's like stepping off the curb at a green light
Traffic coming hard but it still feels right
I lie awake at night drifting away in low light
Counting my demons in plain sight
Trying hard to avoid these fights
I can't replace the thoughts of never waking up
Finding myself trapped in a life that just never feels right
I can't shake this, this overwhelming melancholy
I can't fight it, knowing to you I am just a regret
Now I'm taking measures, taking time to realize
I'm fighting everything I feel inside
Living to die tonight
You wanted
You wanted
You wanted Paradise
It's like stepping off the curb at a green light
Traffic coming hard and it still feels right
And I'm so sorry for what I want to do
I tried so hard to stay strong but it's calling me
You wanted
You wanted Paradise
My heads still pounding
My heart is racing.

Dig

I felt like feeling nothing, like taking it all away
The ever passing moment in the ever changing of time
The only thing I've ever known to stay the same
But nothing can slow this pain
I felt alive for a while there and then their love came to play
I believed in the metaphors but it died with those promises
But it died with your promises
Do you feel that?
The scars all over my hands from crawling out
Of this hell that I've been in
But you were heaven
The warmth where you'd touch my skin
A hold that I sink in and I felt safe again
And it scares me to death that you may have left
'Cause I find myself in rooms you'd spend your days
But it's getting harder to stay.
