Back Home

Passed out, you're wide awake
Killing your self slowly cause you can't reciprocate
Three years, you made the plans
But movement's a reaction you could never understand
Stifled, buried in a couch
Reaching for an answer cause the question's drying out
Lifted, I carried you away
Hands over your ears cause you're too scared to make a change
I know you're tired of being numb
But you're not helpless, you're selfless and young
And I know someday you'll make it out
Until then...
Breathe in, take a little time
We build walls cause we're too scared to feel alive
Stand up, be proud of who you are
I've been there and I know that's the hardest part
Maybe you head back home
(I tried to find you, lost myself)
(I can't imagine something else)
(I know you're terrified, oh no I'm terrified)

Waterproof

Five years, I guess I thought that made us more than waterproof
It fell apart and so did you, and so did you
Nineteen, you were learning what it's like to be mine
I can promise you, I promise now it's crawling down your spine
I don't think we'll make thirty five
Stripped down, laid out, we were tearing off our clothes
I'm sure of this, I'm sure of you, my fingers never know
Where the fabric erodes and our history emplodes
I just wanted to feel at home
But I'm killing the time alone
And the granite is crumbling
Because you staggered, you're fumbling
All those words that meant nothing
That crept out, fell through, made their way to me
Like a kid from a bad dream
I am scared, I am screaming
I am tearing apart what we had
Where you spat, I will never sleep again

Flooded

It took a little time, and a little more sleep on my end
To mold it and coalesce
And I lost my mind, can you say the same
But with a little time and a little less air in your head
I think that you would have stayed
But you lost your edge and you broke instead
And then it fell apart
I guess if I had any sense
I would have seen your weakness from the start
But I was flooded by your sea
A dead and dying place that I was weary of
But sure you'd be relieved
You were a little light in a little dark space I'd been to
A place that you'll never see
Why'd I trust your eyes, you're as blind as me
And with a little light and a little less wit in your mouth
I know what you could have said
But you choked on doubt and you spat me out
And so I braced to break your fall
I couldn't hold your weight for any longer
So I buckled and dissolved
I've been knocked and beaten down
But I'm coming back around
I'm coming back around

Coat Tails

You've been the string from the tail of my coat for some time now
And you're wearing me out
You made a mess of the mess we were in with a mock frown
While your friends were devoured
You're just a kid with a bad set of ears cause the worst sounds
You've been dying to hear
You grabbed a hold on the frailest of ropes that they strung out
And we lost a good year
I pushed and pulled but your breakers were full
Cause you stayed here while my head dissapeared
I'm coming in but I'm walking on thin ice and egg shells
Cause I'm wearing as well
I am a mess, I am tattered unrest, I'm a handful
But I'm doing my best
I built a life with you right by my side but you stepped wrong
Now you're dying, you're...
I'm tired
And I'm so sick of writing down
The words I choked on
Spit it out, spit it out
