lyrics

Burn the eyes. Strike the match.
Disturbed thoughts that you catch on the bed.
Work some high and start placing nails
and turning crosses
Now and then, I wake up
and there he is.

A slant mind to plant your foot, break the fall.
It's hard to find a kind of compliment
to grow in your plot, so you don't
Tell me you'd stay if I lied to you.
"It will be okay."

I set my plan in motion
Thoughts race, mind panics
All commotion.
The very words you can't unnotice
Are the words I'll use 'till your
throat is going dry.
You'll wonder why you focus on the things you can't fix
Still seem broken.
That's all I aim for
What can I blame you for?

You stay kind and act as if you don't mind
A blank state
just some conciousness your free from
or so you hope.
One can hope, one was not alive.
Some endings surmounts
and for some,
some reason to feel this lost and hopeless.

Well sure,
I seem okay.
But sort of hollow
and a little empty
My mom got engaged.
After all that time I guess he seemed
like the right kind of thing
As if their love could be anything
other than hard.
It's all so hard.

I set my plan in motion
Thoughts race, mind panics
All commotion.
The very words you can't unnotice
Are the words I'll use 'till your
throat is going dry.
You'll wonder why you focus on the things you can't fix
Still seem broken.
That's all I aim for
What can I blame you for?

Will be it okay?
