White Lies
04:21
|

All the lies they say
Trying to keep you safe
Doing wrong for your own good
Never good enough for you
White lies they tell
Are the lines we all know well
“You gotta follow your heart”
“Always shoot for the stars”
“Hurts me more than it hurts you”
“Someday you’ll understand”
Words serve to keep
You under unknown discipline
Is that good for me?
I’m willing to believe
There’s a different way to go
A direction no one knows
Running with my eyes closed
‘Cause I like the feeling
Crashing without seeing
Overconfidence that’s been declared
Hides someone unprepared
White lies we tell
Do we understand them well?
Like the words of a song
Re assured they will flow
From your tongue,
Think you’re too smart to ever submit
Just think again
You have bought into all of it
You’ve been made to believe and to preach on command
What’s the reason in the end?
Ask the over confidents
Sing me a song that can lead
Me astray, can lead me astray
Forget my problems, and drink them all away
Drink them all away
Paint me a picture
I need it today

Emotional Inception
05:15
|

Wounds that never seem to heal
Scars that I can’t conceal
In a place where reasons and feelings go to meet
An empty cell that is your mind
An empty place with nothing but jealousy
Is it far away?
Or should we only look inside
Pictures have turned into obsession
Connecting tales that should’ve been left behind
Friendships, still haunting me these days
Just good friends, a list that never seems to end
I wish I could just rest my peace
Deal with anything without even a word
It’d be easier then, I wouldn’t have a whole world to confront
So small, my world’s become so small
I’m stuck in, not strong enough to break the walls
Stories, still haunting me these days
And I can’t help my simple mind
Petty details that I amplify
But still I try
Is it my fault, my fault?
Never enough
Will you ever be enough?

Tone It Down
05:18
|
|||
No need to rub it in
‘Cause now I understand
Though all the good you do
It’s getting out of hand
Don’t overrate your deeds
Shove ’em down my throat
This pride is fucking it up
So recognize that
I can’t fix this
It’s your own mess
Clean it up or I’m gone
You raise your voice to win
Another argument
But yelling makes no sense
Won’t prove anything
Find the middle ground
You’ve made yourself quite clear
So open up your ears
And tone your voice down
I can’t fix this
It’s your own mess
Clean it up or I’m gone
I’ll turn my back on you
I’m giving up
Stick with your own convictions
Let’s just talk, try not to fight
I don’t wanna hear that you’re right
This is not a war, and you’re not in charge
Don’t push me around
Fighting the world is a battle you can never win
Push everyone away
So arrogant and proud
It’s just the way you are
A needy in denial

Photofinish

I will never be first in anything for you
But I like when you fool me
And I know, you’ll replace me, there’s an opening
Resentful and insecure?
I think it’s just reality
Running out of control
So tired, my conscience is full
I’m overwhelmed, a future I can’t behold
And even though I tried
You know I can’t deny
I just can’t stop looking up who you are
I buy in, against my better judgement
Against my better judgement
Falling behind in a race within my mind
Tripping over hurdles that I put up and that’s why
I placed in second in your life
These online memories, photos at the beach, and all the stories I was told by you
Not easy to forget, I’m right when I suspect
They weren’t simple things that you’ve been through
I buy in, against my better judgement
Against my better judgement
Falling behind
Falling behind

Pulling Back
04:45
|

You should sense
The bitter part of my resentment
On the fence
You never really play it out
So pretend
You wanna do it ‘cause we’re special
Broken words
You know you wanna let it ride
Did you notice my last statement?
You’re pulling back
So have you found
Another friend to fill your needs and play around?
Behind your eyes
There lies a feeling you restrain
But in a while
I know you’re changing back again
I won’t pretend
You never made a bit of sense
But in my head
I see your face just now and then
“Our feelings are different.
It’s not your fault,
But I’ve got you on my hook”

Never-ending Circle
04:40
|

Water under the bridge
Has gone away, hasn’t it?
I thought that we were done with this
But it circles round again
Where did I go wrong?
Is it only bad that I’ve done?
Defensive wall’s been overrun
Take a different step
It’s hard to let each other go
So both of us have been overcome
Walk away… Walk away from here
I think it’s time for you to live again
I’ll be fine. It’s not the first time I deal with this
Let the tide take it away
Relive it, over again
Relive the fight, nobody can win
Insanity, defines our redundancy
Can we change the record please
The standard has been set
Behaviors I’ve learned to regret
We’ve often gone to hell and back
Take a different step
It’s hard to let each other go
So both of us have been overcome
Things I lost, some I’ve gotten back
And some I’ve thrown away myself
There would be better times, they said
But has this phase come to an end? Hasn’t it?

I remember the first time i saw you, with your friends
Black hair and big eyes
You tried to make fun repeating my name
I remember I almost didn’t go there that night
That was a close one
We wouldn’t be here, we wouldn’t be here
In love with my couch
In love with my couch
As the time goes by and you don’t wanna move forward
You make me anxious
With things that you say, things that you say
When you tell me stories I don’t wanna know
I get disappointed
It’s too much for me, too much for me
You’ve been always with someone
Always with someone
From love to love
You’ve played a lot
There’s nothing special
About us now
So what’s the point of you and me?
Maybe we should just stop right here
Please close the door
When you leave
You keep me in a box, but display so proudly,
Your online connections,
Lovers you’ve got, lovers you’ve got
You’ve been always with someone
But you can’t be with me
Another night
That I won’t sleep
I’m lying beside you
I feel left out
So what’s the point of you and me?
Maybe we should just stop right here
Please close the door
When you leave
This is something I can’t control
Why can’t you see?
(I’m right beside you)
Why can’t you see?
(I’m right beside you)
I’m right beside you
(I feel left out)
I’m right beside you
(I feel left out)
