Lost In Moments
04:51

I find the darkness friendly
It makes me feel less crazy
Each day is its own journey
Change my mind before it takes me
My eyes are desperate to find
Your soul that’s made of sunshine
Dark bars and basements feel fine
Until I’m craving feeling bright
Sometimes I envy your shades
To see the good in the grey
But I’m lost in simple silence
Ignoring red flags
The monsters deep within me
Reach through to silence my screams
While comfort slowly finds me
I let them overtake me
I’ve been lost in moments that never seem to feel real
(I watch my breath escape me, hoping that I’ll feel something)
Could dreaming be my waking?
If so please let me sleep
(The memories sleep beside me
How can I feel what’s missing?)
Now darkness feels so empty
I’m lost if you can’t see me
Can’t tell what’s real from dreaming
Am I numb or is this healing?
I’ve been lost in moments
I never seem to feel

Bug Bites
03:13
|

Mosquitoes biting at my skin
But I stay out to stay in this conversation between friends
I don’t mind the itching, I don’t mind the pain
It’s a subtle reminder for the next few days
I try to keep face and hold my place
But the bugs keep biting
They keep reminding me of my insecurities
Whether I’m buzzed or hear a buzzing
I become numb to it (become numb to it)
And I notice it lasts longer when I don’t run from it
It’s a subtle reminder for the next few days
So I continue to scratch at my shins
Hoping the little red bumps don’t get too big

Grey
03:58
|

I’m fading, my colors turned dull
Captivated by anything at all
And I know how I got here
But is it too late to change?
My silence is broken
Comfort doesn’t always mean safe
I’m stuck in the grey between different shades
My mind starts to wander but my body stays
And as I try to find my escape
All I ever find is just another shade of grey
I’m breathing, I don’t feel here at all
My mind is straying, I don’t know which path to follow
There’s too much to digest
My body can’t process
I don’t want to cope if it means feeling this distress
Unsure about everything
Only sure of myself
I claw and I reach for the hand that I’ve been dealt
What I’ve learned is that I’ll never learn enough
I close the door, I’m waking up
I mixed all the colors ‘til they were the same
Trying to find safety, I numbed my days
I’m ready to let myself make new mistakes
Nothing is always, something will change

The Race
04:06
|

As I approach this finish line
You were only a speck of dust
Lost somewhere ahead or behind
And I sat not to rest but to wonder what my footsteps left
It was hard to tell in the morning mist
All I know is the race is over
And I have no proof it began
We lost ourselves, our fiction selves
And now the race is ran
Unexpected expectations
Nothing matters at this end
We stopped moving our feet
Our shiny shoes are useless
And it tastes like defeat
But the heavy breathing is gone
The sigh of relief takes its place
I’ve forgotten most of everything
And now the race is won
We have nothing lying on our chests
Only ghostly echoes in our heads
Quietly walking on
And now the race is done

Be Here
04:20
|
|||
We are the quick
We are the weak and we are fast asleep
We shut our eyes, yeah close them tight
Let ourselves be hypnotized
I’d rather glitter in the gutter, dance in the dirt
Trip over my words
Always talking but never heard
(Keep on talking, never stop to listen)
Do we always have to pause to hesitate?
Has it always been too late?
Never moving, do we stay the same?
Keep on moving, do we run in place?
Understand that you’ve been hypnotized
By the human disease
Insanity it seems
Slowly takes over with routine
Shadowed with consuming greed
In all of us, we can agree
We bow our heads, we close our mouths
Terrified to feel out loud
We generalize to feel inside but it’s the truth we hide
We grasp at the silence, we love the noise
What would happen if feelings were a choice?
(I can wander alone longer than most)
Do we ever have a choice?
(But eventually my arms get cold)
I’m fighting to stay with this
I want to be here before I die
I try to open my eyes to be less blind
Open my eyes before I die
I want to be here before I die
I want to be here before I die
I want to be here before I
