Leave me here and then you go Erase the world with alcohol I am not alone, I’m a loner Bracing for another day Just as long as I can stay Numb enough to not think about it In every way I wanted you to stay But not enough to change my ways You told me once who we are is down to fate So I guess that is to blame For each new year we played the part Of two tied by one beating heart Hoping that the act turned to actions But now the scene has changed again Lovers trying to be friends Another day of impersonations In every way I wanted you to stay But not enough to change my ways You told me once who we are is down to fate So I guess that is to blame I know you wouldn't stay with me forever I won’t stay here too But I know you wouldn’t leave me over nothing I just gave you an excuse In every way I wanted you to stay But not enough to change my ways You told me once who we are is down to fate So I guess that is to blame

Go To Sleep 03:09
AM worries, midnight thoughts, nothing here seems sane and if every drama by daylight fades, by late night breaks the strain but i can’t go to sleep, can’t ever release I can’t go to sleep, even when my mind has me beat life in colour only works when colour can be seen but when the sunlight darkens then the one thing left is dreams but i can’t go to sleep, can’t ever release I can’t go to sleep, even when my mind has me beat in a fearless rush from dawn to dusk where everything gets turned to rust indelicate, impersonal, the constant threat of time coming true watch the same thing in different forms, hoping it will change same old drama, same old cast, just on another day but i can’t go to sleep, can’t ever release I can’t go to sleep, even when my mind has me beat in a fearless rush from dawn to dusk where everything gets turned to rust indelicate, impersonal, the constant threat of time coming true

You & I 03:32
One more cigarette before bed Every book in this house has been read Screens on screens like waves of a tide Anything to keep me occupied You and I could’a been the best thing that ever happened to me But you and I just need the distance so It can feel like a dream Writing lines looking back and forward Taking time and leave it distorted Once the words had sense and meaning Now just means for self-defeating You and I could’a been the best thing that ever happened to me But you and I just need the distance so it can feel like a dream Was it just a waste of time - Well, isn’t everything And the memories intwined - Still worth remembering I could never promise you - I could never promise too Anything more than a while - Anything more than a while Every day’s a new chapter written And all good stories have their villains So I need space without distractions But most of all I need your absence You and I could’a been the best thing that ever happened to me But you and I just need the distance so it can feel like a dream
