You give too much, you care too much
happiness doesn’t come with trust
there’s no such luck with being in love and I’m sure we all talk talk talk it up
Don’t pressure me, I need to breathe on my own
how can i amour when I have nothing to show for it
I know your all alone and you have no one but your own to blame
you know that's not the case, and you’re not a waste of space
you’re a loner, a survivor. you know how to hold your own
She talks too much he falls in love
this readiness isn’t unanimous wondering “whats the purpose?” is not what its all about
Don’t bandage me, I need to bleed on my own
how can I afford this love lost lorn? its the twisting of a thorn, and she’s the perfect storm
you know you’re not alone when your chucked up all at home
you’re a loner a survivor, you know how to hold you own
I think too often and its much too common
to see what I wanna see, to see what I wanna believe
Its much too easy for negativity to consume
but between you and me, I’m not where I wanna be, I don’t like what i see and its killing me.

Hard To Please
02:30

You’re a lush in the sense that you know you are
and I feel crushed that I’ve been there before
I’m a liar and you’re a fighter
You say I got desire but I don’t use it so well…
I’m running on my knees
‘Cause you’re so hard to please
I’ve got the intentions of my father.
You can’t walk into life, without expecting some kind of strife
I’m just as naive as you say I am.
Don’t talk, I’ve got this all figured out.
Don’t speak, you’re thoughts are my needs.
You’re a dream, when I lay down to sleep.
and I feel torn, that I’ve been there night after night.
You’re a realist and I’m just admirable.
When it comes down to this?
You said you’ve been there before.
I’m running on my knees
‘Cause you’re so hard to please
I’ve got good intentions like my father.
You can’t walk into life, without expecting some kind of strife
I’m just as naive as you say I am.
Don’t talk, I’ve got this all figured out.
Don’t speak, you’re thoughts are my needs.

Don't Look To Me

Forgive me for never being there, I guess I didn’t care
and if I didn’t care, how can I even dare to try?
And I hope you don’t think that that's my let go
I hold my self responsible.
I’m frail and I’m scared
Don’t look to me to fuel your self esteem
and id wait for you, but I’m done being the so called fool
I’ve got all these obstacles and I believe that this life is a joke
Don’t tell me to let go
Don’t tell me to move on
Don’t expect me to wake up after years of not giving a fuck
Don’t look to me, don’t look at me
I’ve got more hate than you can believe
My insecurities are in hindsight
and my view of life is construed by my thoughts of dying
chances are slim now
and I’m hanging on by a whim
Don’t tell me to let go
Don’t tell me to move on
Don’t expect me to wake up after years of not giving a fuck
Don’t look to me, don’t look at me
I’ve got more hate than you can believe
Thank you for never being there, I guess I wasn’t aware
that I’m such a bother, and I call for nurture…when I’m alone.

Winter '14
03:15

Well I'd never say how I miss those summer months,
stuck inside my, my selfish thoughts
I never thought that I would be needed
not much of anything I'm depleted
And I'm staring down this road,
And I know I've been there before
It's much like winter 2013 where I have everything that I don't need
Is it a new year? or am I stuck in the same gear?
I have so much love and I wonder when it will be enough
I've pressed on, I've carried on
I'm sick of waiting, and I'm done with playing
And I refuse to write a song with a verse that starts with 'you'
See what it puts me though?
And I'm starting down this road and I know I've been there before
It's much like winter 2013 where I have everything that I don't need
Is it a new year? or am I stuck in the same gear?
I have so much love I just wonder is it ever enough?

Attention, perfection
You’ve locked my eyes, my sole demise
You acted not distracting
Protect your eyes they say this world is full of lies
Feed me with your apathy
Tease me like you want me
Believe me, I’m not all that's whats cracked up to be
You owned me, you took control of me
My instincts are running low these days
My disposition is lacking faith this time
Feed me with your apathy
Tease me like you want me
Believe me, I’m not all that's whats cracked up to be
My mind is made up, will I choose to lie?
My mind is made up, will I get out alive?
