Angst or Anger

Passion erupts into flame
ration everything out so plain
Caught between the fountain and the rain
tempted by everyone's fame
You would have made the same mistakes
You would have made the same mistakes
Grandeur is all that we choose
slander is all that we use
Capture existence in a tune
meander and see what you lose
You would have made the same mistakes
You would have made the same mistakes
Shadows pass as you go
light gets brighter as you sow
Questions become darker as you grow
answers are pointless if you know
You would have made the same mistakes
You would have made the same mistakes
You would have made the same mistakes
You would have made the same mistakes

Burnt Grizzly

It started out as such a joke
something to pass the time
Everyone gets burnt out
so see it through
Don't let things get you down
I've heard it a million times before
I'm so damn done with that one petty phrase
Give in, let go
there is no notion your will cannot grasp
The evening buzz keeps we wry
so much for perfect nirvana, it's overrated
Bias delusion, oh what a sweet illusion
keeps us from being human
Well I can't break this by myself
there's only so much one can do
Alone it'll never work
stuck between the same and it repeats
I will try, even when loves goin' rough
The only one, ever gave me just a touch
The only time, I was ever tough enough
The sombre comes and then it goes
right back where you started, easy enough said
Slashing back the endless ego
those thoughts will consume you
strike back and be true
you ain't defeated yet
Go on
What's the difference between hope and retreat
I will try, even when loves goin' rough
The only one, ever gave me just a touch
The only time, I was ever tough enough
When I try to settle down my nerves
The rush of my obsessions converge
My love hurts so much it's absurd
True ambition, doesn't lack decision
Does it have to be the story that we're told

Trying Hardly

You tried so hard, I hardly breathed
I gave it all, you're stuck in between
And now you've gone, a seamless stream
dried up my lungs, and heart is sheathed
How'd you know, It'd come undone
All I had to do was run
When I go walking
It feels like your right beside me
Doesn't mean nothing if you don't want to feel a thing
Go back and forth across your mind
I've felt it fold a thousand times
For now it seems a lucid dream
reflects the soul and seems to gleam
How'd you know It'd be no surprise?
All my thoughts escape my reprise
When I go walking
It seems like your right beside me
Doesn't mean nothing if you don't want to feel a thing
All that you got I need it so
you gotta know I need it so
All that you got I need it so

Waiting Song

As far as I can tell you fake it or make it your own
I can't justify regretting my memories of you
No one overcomes with hypothetical analytical views
The evening breaks at dawn the worst is what you hold on to
Your fear, your hate, your waste,
and your disgrace come back to you
Take a step back getting closer
every little bit brings you to something new
Caught up between your lies
I've seen the defeat lie in your eyes
No sense in turning back now
there's only forward you ask how
Not sure how I'm getting over
one things for sure I'm not waiting
I'm not waiting

A Typical

Before I wake up,
I dream there's so much
Time before I got to
wake up to this lonely mess
So now I see it through
anything you want to do
I won't be here for long so
come on girl let's give it a try
I cannot believe, all the things I never say
Taken for an answer, my silence nearly said it all
What's done is over
So I'm waiting for someone to come along and get it right
Carelessness got me through
those days I was feeling blue
Shrug that empty notion
It'll just keep you where you are
Another bite to make me sick
I always tried but never quit
Oh, the thought consumes me
us given up what we got
Still cannot believe, all the things I never said
Taken for an answer my silence nearly cost it all
What's done is over now
I'm not sad I'm just lonely can't you tell the difference?
I'm so done getting over you
I'm not mad I'm just cranky so don't you shatter
I'm so done, picking up after you
I just got these expectations
holding me back everyday
I just got these expectations
holding me back everyday
Holding me back everyday
Holding me back everyday
