Right by Me

I am your dagger
No intention to be used
With us hand in hand
There's nothing we can't get through
Staring at me from across the room
As if I’ve ever actually had a clue
Begging me for an answer
As if i’ve ever known what to do
Treat me as your compass
Something of a guide
With us hand in hand
There's no reason to hide
Little by little
A little becomes a lot (too much)
When I fail to relax
Anger feels like relapse
Never got in line
I made my moves
Knowing I’d be just fine
Cuz I’ve got me
It’s all I’m trying to be
How can I do right by you
When I can’t even do right by me

Hey kid, you gotta work on your follow through
I promise you I know my value and I know my worth
I’m just so tired of always doing all the fucking work
Slow down kid, you’re running too fast
And I know, life is more than just a game
But I have tempered my flame for too long
This time I’d like to watch it burn
Now I’d like to watch them burn
Your hometown betrays you
Deceptive old friend
Reminds you that we all
Die alone in the end

The reaper, the reaper
Is coming to keep you
But not as your foe, as a friend
To guide you peacefully to the end
When I stare at trees
Or simply enjoy the breeze
I can still see you
Standing there with me
When I look at the clouds
Or hear our friends sing aloud
I can still see you smiling
I hope you’ve found peace, finally
The reaper, the reaper
Is coming to keep you
Not as your foe, but as a friend
To guide you peacefully to the end
Have you gone
As low as you can go?
Or is there depth
Still hiding down below?

The Worst of It
03:55
|
|||
|
The smell of smoke
I’m giving in
The taste of blood
I’m coming undone
Know that feeling
Regret swelling
There’s no comfort
My head is spinning
Look outside
My world is burning
This feels like failing
Swaying like a skinny tree in the wind
Cuz I never feel like I’m enough
Feels like one day I’ll just snap from it
Why fight it when the gust is too much
Feel the worst of it
Make the most of it

Past Life
02:01
|
|||
|
Trying carefully
To make it sound like someone hasn’t died
My nostalgia rages on
I killed myself in a past life
But my ghost still haunts me
I see him every night
My nostalgia rages on
I killed myself in a past life
I am not who I was
And yet they are still me
The love you give
Is the love you get (barrel to my head)
I just hope you
Never forget (am I better off dead?)
Through love I’ve earned
One thing I learned
There is always something
More to live for

Imposter
02:29
|

|
You're an imposter
But nothing gets past us
You're losing the truth
Faster and faster
You hide behind a hollow pride
You’ll never know who's lurking inside
Sand rushed between all your fingers
Wishing that for once, something good would linger
You're an imposter
Dropping seeds of distrust
You're losing control
Faster and faster
So much time spent
lying thru your teeth
You cut your lips
Taste the metal as they bleed
Burn every bridge and your home
You’ll always be alone
It’s all you’ve ever known
Cursed to wander on your own
Burn your home / You’ll stay alone
You're an imposter
Everyone sees through your lies
You're losing yourself
Faster and faster

Not Today
02:36

When it feels like a lion has
Crushed my throat, ate my heart
I can barely breathe
Much less try to speak
And with everything you said
I haven’t heard a word
One look at you
Calms the chaos in my heart
Everything fades to gray
Sulking in the smoke haze
Failing again to reframe
The shitty things I say
You deserve better
But I guess not today
It’s all made up
It’s all just for show
Who we are inside
The truth is, no one knows
Cast your shadow
So I know where it is I’ll always be
Throw your shade
But I know none of it is made for me
Enjoy a different hue
Maybe a shade of blue
Life’s so different

False Spring
03:29
|

|
Growing anxiety
each and every spring
That the trees won't grow
Back to thrive again
In the sunshine
Like you and I
In the sunshine
Like the day the leaves take their shape
Being alive is the escape
The way skin recoils to the cold
I'm still so scared of growing old
In autumn the leaves turn blood red
Every spring I’m worried they won’t be back again
I’m grateful for every second that I’ve ever had
And will likely never get to have again
Thankful to have called you my friend
And I hope in another life I'll see you again
At least now i know where my place is
And that no love given is ever wasted
