The way I see her now
Is the way I wish she’d see me too
And the air that I’m breathing out
Is the air I wish she’d breath right through me
Am I still the person she’d construct
In a dream she’d never interrupt
Would she tell me if she wanted to wake up
No I can’t be everything
But I can be a blur
Be surreal for her
Like a knife cut through our strings
Our conscious lives deferred
Be surreal for her
The words flow from her lips
Like waterfalls surrounding me
Every moment, an endless bliss
Never pull me out of this sleep
Am I still the person she’d construct
In a dream she’d never interrupt
Would she tell me if she wanted to wake up
No I can’t be everything
But I can be a blur
Be surreal for her
Like a knife cut through our strings
Our conscious lives deferred
Be surreal for her
Yeah I can be a blur
Be surreal for her
Our conscious lives deferred
Be surreal for her

Lie on the floor with me
Linoleum and dust crawling up our sleeves
It’s the way I wanna feel
With the one I wanna look
In my eyes
And the sweat dripping down our clothes
The spinning of the fan
Pulling in the city smoke
It’s the air i wanna breathe
With the one I wanna look
In my eyes
So tell me
Something that you wouldn’t ever say
Somewhere you’re missing
Something you can’t delay
Each corner of the whole room and back
Like four three two one
Something you wish you could still believe
The way it all turned out
The way it was meant to be
Each corner of the whole room and back
Like four three two one
Hear the sounds filter through the walls
The people all asleep with their televisions on
It’s the noise I wanna hear
With the one I wanna look
In my eyes
Watch the sky that’s completely blocked
By plaster ceilings stacked
Rising seven stories up
It’s the view I wanna see
With the one I wanna look
In my eyes
So tell me
Something that you wouldn’t ever say
Somewhere you’re missing
Something you can’t delay
Each corner of the whole room and back
Like four three two one
Four three two one
Four three two one

Like A Machine

Is this how I lose my mind
How my body falls apart
When I’m running out of time
And I don’t know where to start
In every screen
The hours drain from me
Like a machine
I’m running low on battery
Yeah I’ll admit
It hurt when she said it like that cause
I don’t have anything to prove
I don’t even know why I’m doing this anymore
Getting way too high in the afternoon
Sixty thoughts to sift through
Spinning on my kitchen floor
Wishing it was
Wishing it was
Easy like it was before
Now I’m slowing down my breath
But it still hurts me a lot
And I’m searching for the strength
To understand the things I try to block
In all my memories
You’re right there next to me
Bending my confidence
Just to see me bleed
Yeah I’ll admit
It hurt when she said it like that cause
I don’t have anything to prove
I don’t even know why I’m doing this anymore
Getting way too high in the afternoon
Sixty thoughts to sift through
Spinning on my kitchen floor
Wishing it was
Wishing it was
Easy like it was before
Yeah I'll admit it hurt when she said it like that
Fuck I'll admit it hurts when she says it like that
Cause I don't have anything to prove
I don’t even know why I’m doing this anymore
I'm getting way too high in the afternoon
Sixty thoughts to sift through
Spinning on my kitchen floor
Wishing it was
Wishing it was
Easy like it was
Easy like it was before

Tunnel Vision

Again I’m restless
I’m wide awake
The endless lecture
At the front of the hall
In the back of my brain
But I hear you
Through all the haze
Heavy breathing
You quiet it down
You push it away
Somewhere
I’m still that person
I’ve learned to live without
And I’m trying hard to forgive him now
But my thoughts
Get stuck in a loop
Tunnel vision
You’re all that gets through
Just like
Everything besides you
Just exists for no gain
Or to drive me insane
Always racking my brain
Have I lost my way?
Every minute
Another truth
I didn’t mean to say
All the things that I said
Hadn’t had any food
And I wonder
Do you still view
Me as the architect
Or am I the fool
Did I burn it down too?
Somewhere
I’m still that person
I’ve learned to live without
And he’s trying hard to forgive me now
But my thoughts
Get stuck in a loop
Tunnel vision
You’re all that gets through
Just like
Everything besides you
Just exists for no gain
Or to drive me insane
Always racking my brain
Have I lost my way?
