Blame

you said there's no chance of us working out
but it's only limited by
obsession or is it just dedication
to a lost cause or a work in progress
you hold high hopes in low places
and you keep me at my best
breathe in deep and let this sink
hollowed out and broken
have faith in me and I'll keep you breathing
but if we drown, will you still
think of me in a positive light
while I'm fading to the dark, my eyes grow cold
and my heart ceases to beat
will you think of me while you're trying to sleep
or beat me out of your memory
either way, there's no one to blame
but me

Closure

one day you say I'm too far but I promise I couldn't be closer
then the next thing you know I couldn't be farther away
I know it's emotional, but trust me on this one
I need time and space to figure out who I am
for the future and all my plans
I need clarity
I need a box full of all my things, sorted by memory
safe in the deep of my situational void
and in there's my heart, so I won't lose track of it
I'm just so bad at it you wouldn't believe
what I'm capable of when left to my own device
I try to be nice and lock myself away
but everyone just keeps pulling me out
when did everyone I know get a key to my head
I don't know
if you're still watching the door
and if you're waiting for me you're in the wrong place this week
and every week and weekend after that
because one day I just stopped though I'm sure I'll start again
then again these things just get worse

Volition

fall far behind me and jump to conclusions
break up my past where I went wrong
as if it were my own volition
but really I'm just responding//reacting
isn't it hard to say whatever I mean
constantly justifying every choice ever made
waiting up all night contemplating the way
I made myself behave
actions with motive have cost me my soul
I'll forget where I left off
bleeding for the long haul
choking down this karma
coating my stomach in preparation
bracing myself for the world
unready for me and ready to think
anything that makes me seem unfit to lead
black out the page and write me off
scratch out my name and right the wrong

Sway

oh god I wish I could drink just to pass the time
but I know how I can be
driving around alone at night
finding places I used to live
finding myself staring at a tree
watching it sway in the breeze
I used to dream that none of this would happen to me
I used to dream it wouldn't happen to me
and did you ever think that this was it
