Lost Control

I can't tell you how long I've been at the end of my rope
It's like you’re actively trying to make me run out of hope
And though I'm trying and trying to keep from going insane
I sometimes want to just give you a tiny glimpse of my brain
To keep you happy I’ve had to be locked up inside a cage
But now that’s over and I’ve gotta go let out all my rage
Oh with you I don't know what to do
I didn't care what you'd think
I thought it was okay anyway
I was afraid that you'd go
Now that I've gone and lost control
Don't matter what you said I can't tell you what’s inside my head
And I know that if I did, out would come everything that you dread
Now don’t you sit there and think that I haven’t caught onto you
This whole big outburst ain’t limited- it’s much more than us two
All high and mighty you’d think you’d never be the one to fall
But all this time the part you play oh it’s not all that small
It’s just thing one’s closer so- you can’t ever be too sure
That once I’m done with part one I won’t face off with you for more
I won’t hold back now
Hasn’t done me any good
Like a tornado
You’ll wonder how I ever could
Look back at what you did and remember everything I said
And if you can’t admit to me what will it take for you to see?
I can’t take it anymore go right ahead back through that door
No it was never up to me this wasn’t what it’s meant to be

Burn It Down
03:02

There’s that dread again looming on the horizon
Am I crying wolf or are you gone
Another exorcism spirits coming out
Can’t believe I fell for it once more
Sick of being a pawn in your game
I take all the blame and watch as you
Burn it down
Everything that’s been built up til now
The flaws I’ve allowed, and watch as you
Tear it down
Filling hearts with your cold dark hate
And now they’ll be the bait, and watch as you
Knock it down
All the times we had I guess they’re all for naught
Now I’m left here drowning in my thought
Drawn and quartered gotta glue myself back up
Next time I won’t drink the devil’s cup

Celestial Navigation
02:44

Looking up at the night sky I don’t know where I’m supposed to fly
Hope I’ll know when I get there
With all the tools given to me, you’d think it’d be so easy
But I’m adrift and backwards
With no path and no light, I’ve almost lost my will to fight
Someone send a lifeboat please
I don't know where I'm going- can you be my map
I can't see in this darkness- you could light it for me
‘Cause your one in a million- like a constellation
Celestial navigation- you can guide me back home
I'm so close I can feel it- my compass pointing at you
Show me my destination
Time’s passed have I made ground at all?
I’m scared and I don’t want to fall
With no net there to catch me
I’m running circles round again
With no guide this place makes no sense
Don’t leave me stuck forever.
Stars are behind the clouds, I need the wind to pick up now
Am I at my journey’s end?

The first time I saw you I knew I had to have you
Will you fit my new hypothesis?
Snag some pencils a notebook and a calculator
We’re conducting a new experiment
Step one gotta get myself a first name basis
Maybe numbers to go along with it
Charts and figures I think I’ve nailed all the specifics
Now just make sure we don’t break equipment
Gotta fill in the variables
Keep the constants the way they've always been
Going back to my old equation
Though it's failing me time and time again
Gone through so many iterations
Am I off by a foot or just an inch?
What will end up as my solution?
All these misses I've almost finished it
So far everything's had a proper explanation
My theory's predicted all of this
But we know that entropy always increases
Could this be a meta-stable trick?
Forgot to ensure nothings contaminated
If there's a fire can we extinguish it?
Time's up and results show we could not have made it
I hope that I learned something from this
The game we're playing
Oh I am so sick of it
I wish there was a shortcut
But I know there just isn't
Everybody trudges through it
Guess I'll find more data to record
Man I wish I hadn't blew it
Better get back to the drawing board

The Pull
03:17
|

I see it deep inside your eyes
Burning away oh the time
Time is running away, away from you
Come again, come again, can you even hear what I say to you?
Electric train ride to your demise
Riding to a place where the sun don’t shine
I can pull you out of this gravity
Follow me, follow me, Let me guide you: sun into the moonlight
Can’t you feel the pull tonight
Go take a look and see
The places you could be and how to get there
I promise it’s easy
Just open up your mind and get some fresh air
Living in your fantasy
Locked up inside your never ending limbo
Glued onto your LED’s
As if it were this generation’s disco
You’re falling deeper into the night
Stunlocked by the headlights
Sealed and rooted into the ground tonight
Get away, get away, forget about your keyboard, mice and kilobytes
Tear down this fortress you’ve built yourself
Let in this life that you’ve repelled
You can’t fight this it’s time to cut the cord
Power’s off, power’s off, can you keep it off or will it ruin you?

No More Surprises
03:36

I never like to think that I could ever get left unread on a text
What’s next on my path straight ahead
What's the next step no old time friends living like i’m dead?
I thought our souls could align.
But the sole of my shoe met with every single land mine in a field that led to you
I’m Fine
Wait that’s a lie
I exploded every damn time and exposed the inner mechanisms of my state of mind
No more surprises please
I’m hanging from a thread
You always make me freeze
Gotta get you outta my head
It’s so simple
But you complicate it
Always complicate it
Can I get off this train
My ride’s one way
Threw my stuff in storage
Right before I boarded
I knew you were worth the pain
So can I wrap myself around you like I’m grape vines
We’ll intertwine at spines each and every nine lives wasted what’s the crime?
I swear it’ll be the last time that you’re the fence dividing up the property lines
I’m strung out like cheese and it’s worse when I’m grated fine
Please put me on your plate instead of hanging me out to dry
Or maybe wear me like a fresh red dress and press your GPS
When I send you the address to the five star fine dining wine bars
Don’t drive your car on the eroded winding road that’s lined entirely with trees
It’ll be all you wrote
You know, it’s way too far
Can you do this one thing for me instead of just making me struggle to breathe?
