This nurturing is baking up an ego pie No best interest- just looking for company Now it’s tainting sweet letters that I’ve been writing me So blame it on humidity 'Cause in the fucking city you can’t feel the breeze Nothing to do but adorn oneself Looking to matter like everybody else So can- Can you tell me? Where- This is going? 'Cause we're getting nowhere We’re- Running running Searching searching Looking for life Been a long time coming Got the chance at being something Not sure who I am Not sure what’s just been coping Been a long time coming Got the chance at making something Choose love over fear This cardboard forest exchanging toxic oxygen Is it possible to make this trivial again? Convinced ourselves that fluorescence is reality Convenience stole the best parts of me It’s go, go, go, and caring ‘bout petty things Never playing and hardly enjoying anything Running, running Searching, searching Looking for life Been a long time coming Got the chance at being something Not sure who I am Not sure what’s just been coping Been a long time coming Got the chance at making something Choose love over fear

Dang It 03:25
If I pace, if I hide, would you shut up inside? You know I've covered by ears and I've plugged up my eyes But the energy - It feels so stuffy Solitude is getting hungry It's gnawing at me, calling for me Puppeteering tense sensory now Well put me in a black room- Make me happy So I can finally breathe (Yeah) Put me in a black room- Make me happy So I can finally breathe Are you coming or are you going? I wanna know if I should stay I've got a lot of things to practice- But I can't seem to find the space Like a bundled-up child I should feel warm But this pulling at my collar I just can't ignore Steam will rise The planets re-align And one day I'll feel alright Put me in a black room baby Makes me feel good when I’m breathing Put me in a black room Make me happy Put me in a black room baby Makes me happy when I’m breathing

Feel your breath- the back of my neck My hairs, they stand, just to salute you Switch my thoughts (to) the remains of this Plumb- I know you know that I’m aware of your presence Although unannounced… I can feel your reminiscent waves I’m not ready to call your bluff but- How long have you even known me? 'Cause you have put your claim on me And I’ll admit that it is exciting So here we are A couple of freaks can be happy too It started with your pierce, resulted in abyss Your oxygen recycled through me I’m feeling like a hoarder now 'Cause I’m wanting more before it’s empty In the corner of my mind all day… My smiles Secret 'Cause they would envy- This starving skin cocooning me Yeah you have put your claim on me And I’ll admit that it is exciting So here we are A couple of freaks can be happy too In the corner of my mind all day- My Smile’s Secret In the corner of my mind all day I keep my smile’s Secret How does this happen to me? Stemming from boredom imploding reality It’s not something (that) I can break from When my body’s conducting electricity. Yeah it’s a secret that you have me - And it’s true that I don’t want free… I let you put your claim on me

It’s gonna stick around Until we talk about it I’m gonna feel it hard Until I can get around it You’ve got me feeling like I’m crazy Or maybe I’m naggy- 'Cause I wanna spend some time with you But you’re making it hard Putting up a brick wall How can I get ‘round your mote? Been talking to myself Wondering what’s my role And I have found that- I’m the heart you wear on your sleeve And the surface is starting to get piley I’ve tried to think of 20 questions- To get you to open up to me I open my door there you are- Long lashes looking down Move on without a greeting Yeah this is every morning See words are my love language But you keep talking to me with deeds So I don’t know what you are feeling And the silence- It bothers me Poetry That was presented to me So now I’ve got expectations And they’re not being met but I don’t plan to change them Yeah you could call me insecure 'Cause I always need to be reassured But when it seems like you’ve been gone for days And when I start to questions things- I wonder do you blame me? Tunnel vision when I call your name but we’re staring at separate planes I’ve got a vision of what I want but you don’t get lost in me Am I convinced there’ll be a day When times slows down I’ll see your face And you’ll look at me in that old way Say things no words could say Yet I remain part of your sleeve Roxanning lines you’ll speak to me I’m growing tired of my company Would telepathy even remedy? Maybe it’s old fears That make me analyse Everytime that I am filled with joy an old saying will come to mind They say that love is blind Tunnel vision when I call your name but we’re staring at separate planes I’ve got a vision of what I want but you don’t get lost in me You are my sweetheart So I’ll wait for you to look up You are my sweetheart So I’ll wait, I’ll wait

Naturally it comes for some I guess I’m the only one When will you talk to me? I can’t help but wonder how long it’s been since I- Sat down with a smile Oh smile for a little while with me Calm, nonchalantly- Looking around for anyone who’s unhappy Wishing time would deliver me from the cheap personas That are growing rapidly Bend over so I can kiss your cheek I’d rather see two footprints in the sand- Trailing behind me No not ahead or right beside me Sin together 'Cause two wrongs always feel much better Calm, nonchalantly- Looking around for anyone who’s unhappy Wishing time would deliver me from the cheap personas That are growing rapidly Naturally it comes for some I guess I’m the only one

People cry out, trying to get your faith Better watch out, or they’ll find a way They’ve got my number, they’re calling me up They’ve got my picture, they’re hanging me up I am their project and they won’t stop until They’ve got pearls on me - well Who (are) you gonna save me from? You? Who you gonna save me from? You? Who you gonna save me from? You? 'Cause you’re the one trying to warp my mind. You never asked me ‘bout my insight You only gather criteria to judge Scraping your finger at those around you Can only guess that your insides are as warm As the chill of your smile Got cataracts in your eye Can’t you hear what you’ve been reading? Who you gonna save me from? You? (3x) 'Cause you’re the one trying to warp my mind. They’ve got my number They’ve got my number (Oh) can’t you hear what you’ve been reading?

In a time divided by space We sat and watched the day Nothing was ever coming Nothing was ever going- When we ruled the world Plenty of fish were swimming but none were ever given- The type of power that we were I wanna call you home Where nothing else matters I wanna call you home We’ll make nothing matter Blue was in And we listened to the waves And the glitter fell from the dome above It glistened in the sunrays I wanna call you home I wanna make this place my home I wanna call you home I wanna make this place my home

Your dilated eyes should have served me as a warning (That) the hitchhiker inside was settling in I planted a cedar tree with hopes to keep you grounded But the better part of you was tied up in the back seat Who do I want to nourish? Well that's subjective to the moon These roots are close enough to keep you healthy It’s hard to face the truth when the liars also you Don’t wanna run against the current when the sun in shining I’ll never get used to living in a winding mind I should've known it wouldn't be too long after declarations made That you’d grow weary and back into your shell Who do I want to nourish? The essence of your being Hoping with each time you’ll grow stronger It’s a tough pill to swallow- Knowing that you’ve got to build tomorrow (But) when you’re up against that cloud of crop dust- Know the wind can move through you Move through you It’s hard to face the truth when the liars also you Don’t wanna run against the current when the sun in shining I’ll never get used to living in a winding mind

Why am I waiting, vainly kissing at your feet? The stars are shouting that it's right in front of me A hollow trumpet stumbling about the street Hands cupped around the beat, all along Give me something Tell me something Show me something Make me feel something inside, inside, ooh inside, inside Give me something Tell me something Show me something Inside, inside, inside, inside I'm looking for a sign But not just any one Maybe a fallen tree or purple mushrooms on my ceiling I'm walking weedy paths, you'll hear me breaking branches Looking up at the sky A hazy shade of living Give me something Tell me something Show me something Make me feel something inside, inside, ooh inside, inside Give me something Tell me something Show me something Inside, inside, inside, inside Waiting for ideal circumstances Certain criteria before blossoms happen You've been looking up and down and I've heard that you've asked around Is it real? I know Is it real? I know that you must look inside yourself 'Cause you forgot just who you are And the truth feels so very far But if you listen You'll hear If you listen You’ll hear Your voice is real
12.
My heart beats still Nothing can thrill The waters inside me lukewarm 'Cause I’ve waiting for everything But now I want nothing at all Just to be, just to be, just to be I’ve painted skies But nothing’s quite like in my mind I know now that moments are quite pale Painted skies are in my mind Yeah painted skies are in my mind Painted skies are in my mind Yeah painted skies are in my mind Finding that the skies are pale I’m finding that the skies are pale Finding that the skies are pale I’m finding that the skies are pale
