This is Only a Test

Struggling there in the night
And what seems so safe is only a lie
Lying there in the night
Seeing the same would only be right
Crying into the night
And what seemed so safe isn't alive
Finding out in the night
Seeing the same will only take time
To find the answers now
You will get lost
To ask the questions now
You will get lost
Right now this is complicates it all
In time I will forget it
Now I said it

Fear of Subtraction

Here you waited now
Never stop look around
Many things flow
Your mind unravels
As your heart beats
You're hoping to find
Now you're lost and you're out of control
You're thinking of which way to go
Fear grips your face won't let you go
This might seem
Lied to
As your heart beats
You're running to die
And you think there's nothing there but you're wrong
Constantly feeling your minds made up
This isn't what you wanted was it
Try to kneel on your own
What flies through your mind
Can it be read
I think you shouldn't

Here we go again walking in circles with our heads
Looking for the truth or something somewhere in between
I hope we make up our minds
And it's all that I wanted to give
And it's all that I wanted to see
Digging in the ground to bring life what once was dead
Can't seem to follow
Directions leave
Wallowing in life worth living, maybe
And it's all that I wanted to give
And it's all that I wanted to see
Being predictable
You always see
Waiting
And saying
Do you wanna breathe in the air you're suffocating
Will you take that chance to see if you're alive
Fighting the end
Watching go down
Waiting and saying, the obstacle
Stating the hopeless and obvious

Wishing I can show you
This way talking down
All the good things
Intake life before you
Thinking; taking note
Of all the mistakes
To fall behind
And wait out loud
At all besides
Let breathe in time
I want to destroy
I want to step inside your mind
I want to destroy right now
I want to destroy
I want to take you out of line
I want to destroy it all
To fall behind
And wait out loud
At all
To wait
And see
The end

Self Sufficient
04:22

So you think you're charming
And so beautiful
And you're so disarming
Taking all control
And you take your time and all
Your time and all
Your life and all
You ignore the obvious
You're left there all alone
And you take this garbage
And make it all your own
And you waste your time and all
Your time and all
Your life and all
And when you run and hide
So weak
You fake this world so flawlessly
And when you run away this time
All will see
Finally discouraged
Finally encouraged

So is that the way it goes
Run away from everything you know
You need answers for your questions
If you wait a while I promise they'll be here
Take a wild guess
The chances are against you
Fake a smile yet
No one knows the difference
It's like you're not even listening
People try, but you just walk
Screw that sympathy you're asking for
It's you that threw the first stone at yourself
You're lonely
Whose fault is that
Look around you it's closing in scared
Walk in
Hear them
Feel like empty
Talk like empty
Take a walk I've tried
Millions of lights
Dying to see
The darkness lives inside
To kill

I saw you turn away
To see what's going
I tried to call your name
You were halfway gone
Looking after now
The door is closing
No one saw you die
I know I've seen you there
With your arms folded
A subtle kiss of pain
It wasn't harming
You slowly weakened now
Pieces of you fall
Who holds the control
Move without knowing
Thinking to yourself
I know I saw you staring
With your fists holding your pain
Why's it always me
Take these words and explain
Walking over you
Lying there with your hands full
Walking through the mess
The fun for tomorrow thrives in your dreams
Once you've waken
It's still there
This life you've taken on
There's no control
Let's see what's going
I'll see you turn away

A Slave to Circumstance
04:43

Arms tied
The ways that we've gone
Nothing stands in our way
Fake life
It's all that you're after
Feeling never of shame
And you cried to me
Like you want it to be
And you asked me to go
With you all the way to see
All night
You're the talk of the town
If you don't mind me asking

Always Hanging On
03:03

Sifting through the ashes you'll find the heart
Now looking in the sand
To the end we'll see them fall
Space moving in our touch
Seasons when you spent, gone
Life diminishing
It's Fate, won't stop
Now looking to the hand
To the end I'll see it all
With ache tat moves the fond
See him moving on and on
As you break into the light
Find us even wishing that
Take it off to anywhere
Leaving life and you behind
Make the most of nothing now
Empty room is intertwined
Frozen eyes up to the blue
Always end with letting go

Stiffnecked

Walking down to see
I look down when I see
Crowds around me
I believe, do I believe
It's something I've said with my own lips
To many times before
Looking down at me
I look up to see
There's no one there
But me, just me
It's something I've felt with my own life
Not many times before
And I see this light you're looking for
And I see his face on me
I fall to the earth as I try to breathe
You closed your eyes and let the pain inside
Stephen staring at the sky
I am not that strong
I was never that strong

Long, it's been so
Forever, it's taking
Dream, your only true
Face, can you tell by the expression of my
Walk as slowly as possible
Seems so far away almost impossible
There is where I should be now
And I thought it out
Eliminated what was wrong
And I've started now scraping away the excess
And I've tossed around ideas of giving up and walking away
But there's absolutely nothing more that I would want to do
So bring it on
Watch and stare if you wait you won't find it
Mystery, could it be what I was to be
Difficult, overbearing, relentless speech, and
Watch and stare if you look you should find it
Walk with me we'll keep ourselves from dying
