POV 02:08
I will not only give you what was asked You can take It all “Change for me, you were more poetic back when you were sad and lonely” Change for me For me You would not even answer the question, out of respect for me If being happy is being boring, I’ll take it any day I’ll fade into the background, with that I’ll be okay If all i did in my life was wrong You should have learnt to be more headstrong You should have been more headstrong Time is constantly improving my sense of symmetry Live my life as though I erased the part where I’d thought I’d never find better company Why people kneel at your feet still eludes me I put off speaking my thoughts for way too long I finally changed and made a life for myself that i don’t want a break from Time is, constantly improving, My sense of self worth, my sense of symmetry Now I want, more than you can give More than you see fit

I’ve spent hours listening to A cause not worth caring for And Like a wrecking ball to my head I realise you want us to play along So it’s you that we should feel sorry for? Cause we’re all your subjects, we lack a good cause to speak for Cause to speak, our minds, or step out of line Would be an insult to your ego but I’m not just gonna lie down cause I know you don’t agree with what we have to say Learn to let go and get on with your show Move past your old ways Move on to new mistakes and let the sun set on the ones your friends have made At least we have a drive We will look past ourselves to be the best that we can And you dare tell me to practice maturity A genuine apology could be a start From the bottom of your heart If you could tell me you’d elevate your mind above that shit But you don’t wanna hear any of it Just don’t fuck with this thing i love for a bit of profit Learn to let go, get on with your show Move past your old ways Move on to new mistakes and let the sun set on the ones your friends have made At least we have a drive We will look past ourselves to be the best that we can God fucking damn kid it’s your own fault you feel like this You’re the victim of your own sense of self-entitlement

Glass Eyes 02:34
Untying, I’m thrashing, too hard From the start you said that it can’t be that hard You say that I’m a work of art As we get older people lose interest And get hard to impress Cause you’ve seen it once so that should count Over think and sabotage myself My next move should not be so complex that it rots the inside of my head All the hard work we’ve seen ourselves through Doesn’t seem to be enough to hold on to It’d be nice if you’d want to You were never so receptive But I’d like to think that things will change For world where we have no choice but to bear and find our own ways To make life worth it’s weight Learn your place Be top of the pack Hard work is enough No it’s who you know and who can pay how much, to get a leg up A contradictory state For now i’m just learning to Swallow my pride for the chance of the one night high To have nothing come of it Breaking my back We just wanna show you what we love but it’s hard with our worlds so far apart We just want you to be a part We just wanna show you we love “I can’t sleep I can’t eat I fucked up Woe is me” You just sit on your ass and don’t do anything The world doesn’t need your destructive thinking I’d rather be up here but not to be seen, only 5 others but they’re my scene Intimidation is for losers it won’t work on me Glass eyes can’t decide what we will be

What had I done that was so wrong Thought you were head and heart strong because of that I questioned everything Like I was always wrong I’ve been fighting with this bind Forcing you into the back of my mind Erased yourself from my life I’m done with looking after you So right now, i would say It’s about time to tell you you’re no friend of mine but your indecision’s killing me Why can’t you just get up and leave I sit back Stuck in my head Words I should have said Spilling out from my mouth and running down my neck My head spins in an endless cycle of regret Leave me out, let me drown in my bitterness It makes me sick to reminisce All the things I must have missed Pile up like stacks of bricks I was pelted with mind tricks I get lost in thoughts like this Think how much I could have changed If I’d figured out by then What you wanted me to say It makes me sick to reminisce All the things I must have missed Pile up like stacks of bricks I was pelted with mind tricks Tell myself remember this Only in my head do you exist

Shelled 00:35
My face is frying My eyes, they’re drying The rage in me is dying My brain is untying No pick can’t play My legs are shaking My bones are breaking My lungs are flaking Something else overtaking No pick can’t play

Same Old 03:14
Shaken up, held down with heavy feet I would begin, a new feeling Join a new team That rang true, to everything I knew was me No more ties to drag me behind Iron bars and locked door rooms That said so much about you Follow everybody else cause that’s the normal thing to do Now I’m, up past midnight with a different point of view Won’t let myself forget what happened before my consciousness came through My consciousness came through I will choose Loud nights with my head screwed on right over being just like you Don’t need a crutch to suit me any longer And I feel more like i should and I knew I would I’d almost given up On the world I’m in today Done with excuses that it’s too hard to change Tore myself apart Won’t let myself forget and start over again Until I can’t remember how it felt

Poop Punk 02:15
When it won’t stop playing with my head I rethink what I did and said It plays over and over while I pick out the good and the bad but there’s not much good by the end And I’ve tried telling myself different But at times I can’t find a positive side And I can’t hide how I feel in the end and I pretend Pretend that I’m not bothered and I’m worth your worry Cause I can be better Better than this I’ve wasted too much time buried alive Who knew that light could be so hard to find and I’m so scared that I check behind doors of rooms that I walk into And I don’t recognise my own voice anymore Cause they’re not real memories, just thoughts of what I want it to be and they complete me It won’t stop playing with my head I rethink the shit I said, i’m so over it I’ve always been one to let things go but you left me stranded on my own I chose to see past your mistakes, I bothered to beg you to stay Why can’t you see me the same way? Cause they’re not real memories just thoughts of what I want it to be and they complete me

Flawed 01:40
Confining So many stuck inbetween, can’t find their scene Uncomfortable with the way they are seen We’re not all the same, as much as it seems Insecure unsuspecting bullies can’t shed any light With heads trapped in time machines Don’t need you to exaggerate our worth when it’s been done just the same some other way While every action needs to be explained or proved to have our dignity redeemed, it doesn’t suit me Expect nothing, we’ll give you everything We’re not bound in a body for compliments, to be a novelty “good on you” becomes patronising, No struggle in a different regard and this worn out system Will make me feel you’ve said nothing wrong I’ve heard it all too much and that makes my faith in progress fall apart

At Mosh Fear 04:11
Can we pinpoint the moment your life became no fun Too caught up in pleasing everyone Like these clothes won’t look good until someone else is wearing them and I stand by, do my time At least that’s what it feels like I turn my back to the door Another weekly visit to the past Until this burden runs it’s course we’ll watch this whole thing pass Nothing left to beat us with and nothing left to cheat us with We’ll escape your clutches You’ve got nothing to guilt us with anymore I’m saying that I’ve learned enough to know what’s best for me And you, have a head so out of step that I know you wouldn’t dare Tell us how to live I didn’t know which outcome would end up hurting us the least As a kid I turn my back to the door Another weekly visit to the past Until this burden runs it’s course we’ll watch this whole thing pass Nothing left to beat us with and nothing left to cheat us with We’ll escape your clutches You’ve got nothing to guilt us with anymore You’ll end up sleeping in a booze soaked tshirt And I’ll come home, I don’t mind at all We’ll be great with our own sense of right and wrong I hope you’re playing along
