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

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

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

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

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

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

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
