Keep In Mind

I was always glancing up to find nothing in return
So I gave up on me before you could, before you could
Some die looking for a hand to hold but keep smiling
You'll realise you don't want this with me
Maybe I don't want this with me
Said we'd never let go but I'm the best liar I know
Buried in the ground now you decide to care
How are we to find North without a compass and without reference?
You either hate them or end up hating yourself, so be careful who you trust
The devil was an angel once and that's something I like to keep in mind when you enter my thoughts
You always leave me weak, you always leave me weak
And for far too long I've tried to fill this empty space with another face
And you have turned back into, into the girl of my dreams and it seems that this loneliness is here to stay
For far to long I've held my tongue, I can't remain
It's 3am and this alcohol tastes like the love I held for you
But no way
I don't want to be just another passenger on this road that leads to nowhere
And when I leave you will finally understand why these hurricanes have human names

Old Wounds

Like the ocean I rise, like the ocean I rise again
Our bodies blacked out, it's just us standing against the tide, the salty ocean breeze
The salty ocean breeze, it carried us by
There must be more, there has to be something more in this life, in this world
As time ticks aways so do the people I love
The only parts of me left are these
We are so cold, so alone, just forgotten souls that are now alien to the world we used to know
The loneliness has set in from the sins of a lifetime and as time ticks away so do the people I love
The only parts of me left are these faded memories telling the stories of a life I once had
Have faith in me, just one more time, even though we're nothing
Nothing more than flesh and blood and bone
Old tattoos, telling the stories of a life I once had
Have faith in me, just one more time, even though we're nothing more than flesh and bone
The tide will wash us away
The tide will wash us away
The tide will wash us away
The tide will wash us away

Life's Short

I've been here as long as I can remember, the mind drifts, experience bends, memories warp, the skin decays, their eyes degrade, their eyes degrade
No one can withstand the flow of the aeons, and it's said time is wasted on the young
What's time wasted if it's spend having fun?
Life's short
I've spent nights I wont remember anything more than that I, I had a good time
I'd say it's worth it, so pour one out to all those you've cared about
And I'm not proud of everything I've done but I refuse to live this life in regret
So I would rather have a good time than have nothing at all

State

Leaving this earthly form, I'm going to sail away and I leave my form of frailty in your hands
Guard me with your life and I'll give you mine
Be the guidance back to my body
I'm going to a place that is not my own, to seek guidance, to meet myself in a new place that feels like home
Traversing miles with a thought, so connected, connected to every being
I am the bridge closing the divide, so stable under foot
You are the traveller and I will show you what you need to find
I am the bridge closing the divide
Emotions are powerful, shaping the form of a surrounding
I've merged with the light, she has shown me the way, so connected
When you find what you need to know, it's time for us to journey home
I need to leave this beautiful place, so I can be whole again
Your guidance pulls me back
I return to this earthly form, wiser than I was before

Sleep Sight
04:20

From where I am sun drenched eyes can't see so clearly
Silhouettes and shadowy figures pace restlessly
Do they have purpose, have meaning or do they wonder recklessly?
Much like myself
Do I appear the same in their visions as they do in mine?
As they do, as they do in mine
From where I am, I see so clearly
Sleep sight, it has to be
Sleep sight, but dreams have always appeared clearer to me
Amongst movement, I seem to be stuck here amongst the spectres of my dreams
But if I'm in here why's nothing gone my way?
My sun drenched eyes see so clearly that these silhouettes have grown definition
So many faces that flow and I'm stuck here, not connecting to a single one
Floating though familiar streets again
When will a new road come into view?
I walk alone, along these worn down stones,
Surely when I wake I'll find a way
When I wake up, when I wake up, I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine
When I wake up, when I wake up, I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine
When I wake up, when I wake up or have I been alive this whole time?
This whole time
