Be Your Own Bomb

No soulful self-direction
Always an earful of the worst advice
Deflect the blame for crude decision-making
And mindlessly I fall
For the oldest trick in the book
The sharpest rocks beneath the cliff
I've not the means to call it quits
All lies about the joy of trust
Supposed to lift, instead it shoves me off
A dearth of medication
"I told you so", "Just hear me out"
Prime fodder for a million conversations
But too weak to stand and make the call
You were always the weakest one in the pack
The indecision forms a rift
A cycle to which I commit
All lies about the joy of trust
Supposed to lift, instead it shoves me off
It shoves me off
Tired of this con
Too hot to calm
Be your own bomb

I said no
Don’t you understand my words / You’re so blurred / Can’t take it at all
Please just go!
You’ll have to figure it out there’s no doubt that clarity will come
I’d give it all
For this [Done]
And I know
That I am so done
I said no
Don’t you understand my words you’re so blurred can’t take it at all
It’s enough
Can’t you comprehend my thoughts what is the truth that you sought
We’re not on the same page...
I’d give it all
For this [Done]
And I know
That I am so done
I wish that I never met you
You should know
that I’d go back
I am so done.

The Road

You're losing all the vivid pieces
When blood and bones begin to fold
Believe me when you're out of sequence
And you're far from home
We pray in the perfect church for
People who want to throw the stone
And I know how far
You're going to have to go
How much you'll have to take
Each tear conspires to keep our shirt wet
Another prayer that goes unheard
When "what's the magic word?" is way too easy
You can rest assured
We pray in the perfect church for
People who want to throw the stone
And I know how far
You're going to have to go
How much you'll have to take
So let me share the road

Satellite, woah satellite
Word on the street you’ll be coming back to me
C’mon with it, satellite
Feelin’, woah feelin’
Sifting out a dream, like the silence in a scream
C’mon with that feelin’
Skies they will part for you
How many secrets must I keep from you?
Eyes in the clouds peek through
How can I tell you the truth?
Cuz you know I’m still in love with you
Sleeping, don’t dare to sleep in
No need to dream the horizon in between
One eye always open
Waiting, patiently waiting
Here comes the part where I open up the thoughts
My chest has been holding
Is it the end of it all or the beginning?
Is it the end of it all or the beginning?
Is this the end of it all?
Skies they will part for you
How many secrets must I keep from you?
Eyes in the clouds peek through
How can I tell you the truth?
Cuz you know I’m still in love with you

One Arm for Another

Trading one arm for another one
A set of smiles each under thumb
In competition with myself, can’t be outdone
Another scent locked in the sheets
So unsuspecting she takes a seat
Whoever said that they had to know or had to meet
I’m not in the wrong
Why do I have to choose
I can’t say I’ve got much to lose
When the lights go out, don’t change the fuse
Spendin’ my nights drenched in sweat
Low on sleep, we’ve hardly met
I close my eyes a bit before I change the set
I’m not in the wrong
Why do I have to choose
I can’t say I’ve got much to lose
When the lights go out, don’t change the fuse
Call you up on the phone
Try another if you’re not home
If I’ve got options, why be alone?

I’ve covered up my tracks in the snow
I’ve filled in all the footsteps I’ve left behind
I can scream and know that I won’t make a sound
I’ve made it so that they won’t find me
Even if they search forever
Even if they scorch the globe
All the moments that you wait
All the precious time you waste
Every day, just to see if I’ll return to you
Why don’t you just move on and digest
The fact I’m gone
I can scream and know that I won’t make a sound
Now repeat, just to beat it once more
Even if you spend your lifetime
Pouring through the reasons why
All the moments that you wait
All the precious time you waste
Every day, just to see if I’ll return to you
Why don’t you just move on and digest
The fact I’m gone
It’s the best way I’ve discerned
To make sure that you’ve aptly heard me out
You won’t see me anymore

It’s all the same, people find a way
To eat my time up, to mess my life up
I’ve had enough
Enough to know that
I’m stuck
Cuz life finds a way
Tried to reason, oh, I’ve tried to reason
All my cares away, to keep my pains at bay
I’ve had enough
Enough to know that
I’m stuck
Cuz life finds a way
To ruin everything
Though I want to control everything
We envy the teeth of the tyrant and king
But we know we’re just bones, we’re just bones
I’ve had enough
Enough to know that
I’m stuck
Cuz life finds a way
