Positive Feedback

Waking up early, sinking in bed
My thoughts are spinning, hanging on by a thread.
Always surprised me, the things that I said
the days that all I touched was covered in red.
That wasn't a long time ago.
Thoughts travel fast but I am slow.
I am trying to go back
and I can see along this track
that I am moving with positive feedback
and you wont ever see me crack.
Visions of future clutter the past,
trying to make every good moment last.
I'm looking back now and the things that I see
are what I didn't know was wrong with me.
My circle is so small.
Did I open my eyes at all?
I'm trying, defying, I'm fighting, I'm coming
I'm on my way.
Back then it was all too much
but since then I've grown my trust in
finding the blinding horizon
I'm on my way.
That was a long time ago.
Thoughts travel fast but I can follow.
I am trying to go back
and I can see along this track
that I am moving with positive feedback
and you wont ever see me crack.
I am making my way back
and I can see this is my track.
I'm moving with positive feedback
and you wont see me look back,
see me look back.

House of Cards

Want you to like me
even if you don't know who I am.
Want to accept me in any possible way you can.
Want you to cheer when I'm not there to hear.
Want you to love me
'cause all that's loving me now is fear.
Where were you when monsters slept in my bed?
Where were you when I lost my head?
Where were you when we lost all control?
You were behind the steering wheel, this I've always known.
Want you to sing me a lullaby
even when it's not the night.
Want you to hold my hand and tell me everything is alright.
I want to feel your touch, It's never good enough.
Please send her my regards within this house of cards.
Where were you when monsters slept in my bed?
Where were you when I lost my head?
Where were you when we lost all control?
You were behind the steering wheel, this I've always known.

Tuesday

We feel the hollow in your chest since this last Tuesday.
We were the dad that got your text.
We know you didn't choose this.
We ache beside you and we feel the pain of slaughter.
We see the problem clear as tears and cups of water.
I keep my knife inside my blue jean's back left pocket.
I like to be sure that when he gets close I'll stop him.
I hear a sound outside and run along the floor.
I throw my body in a shelf and lock the door.
You hid it every day and made your secret plans.
You came to school today with murder on your hands.
You stopped to load and looked into the eyes of someone.
You pulled a 15 out and gave no time to run.
I keep my knife inside my blue jean's back left pocket.
I like to be sure that when he gets close I'll stop him.
I hear a sound outside and run along the floor.
I throw my body in a shelf and lock the door.
How can we swallow our surprise?
We've known it before.
The numbers rising in my math wing corridor.
And Mrs. Johnson's dead.
I ask when will it be over?
When they are counting all my friends and calling their mothers.
I go to class today with 20 empty desks,
knowing that in this room thy counted all the deaths
I'l check the classroom clock and see there's no time left.
And then I'll pray it doesn't happen.
And then we'll wait until it happens again.

Apology
02:18
|

|
I need a place to stay
'cause I've dreamt all my thoughts away
trying to forgive myself for my mistakes
When people lend a helping hand they think that's all it takes
I know the feeling far too well to lie to you.
And I know the pain like a brother that will always come through.
I know the fear like I know the truth.
I know myself like I know you.
You have a place to stay
'cause I dreamt about you almost every single day
trying to forgive you for your mistakes
When I lent a helping hand I thought that's all it would take.
I know the feeling far too well to lie to you.
And I know the pain like a brother that will always come through.
I know the fear like I know the truth.
I know myself like I know you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Fast by the Library
02:15

You, me, car drive.
Moving slow, I stop the hype.
My cracked wrist on the steering wheel.
I can not scream the things I feel.
Me you, smooth ride,
moving quick in four-wheel-drive.
My open eyes on the road ahead,
miracle we didn't end up dead.
Movie theatre parking lot.
You took my name I took a shot.
I hear someone say, "I met my love just yesterday."
Here's to driving all around in the borrowed streets of this old town.
We got in trouble speeding fast by the library.
You know my life clear as the van's left windowside.
I close my eyes and take a breath.
Are we even there yet?
You the time is never gonna feel right.
Don't worry about when we'll arrive.
Just focus up and let me drive.
Movie theatre parking lot.
You took my name I took a shot.
I hear someone say, "I met my love just yesterday."
Here's to driving all around in the borrowed streets of this old town.
We got in trouble speeding fast by the library.
We drive full speed ahead.
All night, you get in my head.
Close your eyes. Imagine what's unsaid.
In this life, we haven't arrived yet.
Movie theatre parking lot.
You took my name I took a shot.
I hear someone say, "I met my love just yesterday."
Here's to driving all around in the borrowed streets of this old town.
We got in trouble speeding fast by the library.

Simple Machine

We are
unexposed to the art
so I'm lead to
my heart
to find a home.
A thought
I'm supposed to adopt
in a head that was taught
by shutting down.
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
A simple machine.
I'm coming out clean.
You figured me out,
you know what I'm about.
A simple machine,
I'm fueled by caffeine,
I'm covered in screws.
I got nothing to lose.
Inside, was a bittersweet ride
but my circuits are fried beyond repair.
Defined was my nature, supplied by my labor.
I tried to like it there.
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
A simple machine.
I'm coming out clean.
You figured me out,
you know what I'm about.
A simple machine,
I'm fueled by caffeine,
I'm covered in screws.
I got nothing to lose.
We won't see eye to eye,
no matter what I try.
Inhuman my design.
No brain to realign.
A simple machine.
I'm coming out clean.
You figured me out,
you know what I'm about.
A simple machine,
I'm fueled by caffeine,
I'm covered in screws.
I got nothing to lose.

We could sit here for hours.
There's no fantasy when you visit me,
when you visit me.
And the moment is ours.
There's no guaruntee of reality,
of reality
(night)
I tried everything to feel.
How am I supposed to heal
if it wasn't even real?
(oh)
I get tired after 10:00.
My brain is wired now and then.
I will talk to you again.
I can dream on every night
and i can catch the midnight flight.
To see you then was talking into my own mind.
In my sleep it's gone too far;
you helped me tear at this old scar
and when I wake it's you I'll have to leave behind.
The soft rise in your chest,
your arms feel so right (so right so right)
around me so tight (so tight)
Without you I can't rest.
The time isn't right.
Wont open my eyes.
(night)
I tried everything to feel.
How am I supposed to heal
if it wasn't even real?
(oh)
I get tired after 10:00.
My brain is wired now and then.
I will talk to you again.
I can dream on every night

and when I wake it's you I'll have to leave behind.

Beyond Words

Started out right,
started out right
you and me,
close hospitality.
Slept the whole night 'cause I've gotten what I need.
I'm done wondering.
Air just feels right when you're sitting quietly and breathing next to me.
You're beyond words.
Seeing you I see myself but better.
And touching you is softer than my softest sweater.
Hearing you is the sound of love redefined.
And leaving you is like leaving my heart behind.
You are brilliant
even when you're not okay.
Our emotions are a buffet.
And I'm trying to find the words I need to say.
But I don't know anyway.
A new part of my head is trying to decipher what I mean.
You're beyond words.
Seeing you I see myself but better.
And touching you is softer than my softest sweater.
Hearing you is the sound of love redefined.
And leaving you is like leaving my heart behind.
Seeing you, my dear, there's nothing better.
And touching you is softer than my softest sweater.
Hearing you is the foundation of love redefined.
And leaving you, well, I guess I left my heart behind.
You're beyond words.

Seconds Away
03:27

I'm getting seconds away.
I'm getting seconds away.
Ain't it always so hard ignoring how it seems?
They told me seven times before
and I still can't get it out and out of my head.
Out of my head.
Out of my head.
Out of my head.
I'm getting seconds away.
I'm getting seconds away.
I'm getting seconds away hmm.
Oh the time that it takes.
Oh the time that it wastes.
Ain't it always so hard ignoring how it seems.
They told me seven times before
and I still can't get it into into my head.
Into my head.
Into my head.
I'm getting seconds away.
Oh the time that it takes.
Oh the time that it wastes hmm.
Time that it wastes, oh the time that it wastes, oh the time that it wastes
I'm wasting my time, waiting for seconds to pass.
I'm seconds away. Seconds and minutes and hours and days.
I'm wasting my time, waiting for seconds to pass.
I'm wasting my time waiting for seconds to pass
Seconds and minutes and hours and days
and a few years.

You Are Me

Who is that I see in the mirror?
Are they some corrupt form of me
or someone do I not know?
I like her because I trust her.
Even though sometimes we make mistakes,
nothing can go to waste with her.
I see she's stronger.
And I need her
more than anyone to tell me that I'm wrong.
It's not easy to love her;
It's not vain to breathe.
If anyone were to harm her,
I would hate them kindly.
Not alone when I'm with her.
She doesn't have to feel this way.
Personality is her beauty and it has a lot to say.
So I will listen when no one else will
and I will make her beautiful:
The way I know her to be, effortless in her creation.
I've always known that she's comfortable in her knees.
And that's why I love her when no one else can.
She isn't my lover, but neither is any man.
While the void grows bigger, I'll be her biggest fan.
