Hold On

sometimes when I look at her her eyes look haunted and wild like her mind is somewhere else
I really wanna bring her back
but I fear it's too late
she hasn't lost hope 'til this day
still reading books about the other side for some relief or for some piece of mind
Half the time I don't know who's that person in my skin
or is it the other way around not all things that get lost are found I haven't used my voice in days,
crossed an ocean for a change of perspective
and to think I fell asleep
right where you used to lay your head
where you took your very last breath
it freaks me out but it brings me closer to you keeps me connected in a way
I pass the stairwell stop and wait
go back to normal and your face
(oh how I long to see your face)
half the time I don't know who's that person in my skin
or is it the other way around not all things that get lost are found I haven't used my voice in days
crossed an ocean for a change of perspective
but I just can't figure out
if it's the other way around
half the time I don't know
half the time I don't know
who's that person in my skin why this place seems so ruined
mom we need to let go of it we will never be
Like the family you used to know
I know you need me to hold on we're not the family you used to love but I'm there to hold on

Pieces

thought it mattered that your proud of me
but I feel so much better when I leave
with every mile, I'm less weary, I'm screaming
I'm all the things I wanna be but what I want just isn't good for me
now I feel like I'm drifting
away from the people that cared
Seems I'm fighting
for my selfish reasons
I can't
figure out the way to go
I always run I never turn and that's how I missed you and you know I never meant to be so cold to you
I missed your calls, I never write
sometimes you do in the middle of the night
mom is nervous all the time
hearing about it is like watching myself
I know it all
but I won't admit that I will ever be anything like this
I'm all the things I wanna be but what I want just isn't good for me at least that's what they're telling me
I'm all the things I wanna be, I don't need you taking care of me when you can't even take care of yourself
now I feel like I'm drifting
away from the people that cared
seems I'm fighting
for my selfish reasons
I can't
figure out the way to go
I always run I never turn and that's how I missed you and you know I never meant to be so bad to you
I never meant to be so bad to you

Tuesday Night

so I watched you throw away
all of your plans including me
but I also see how you compensate for the empty space
now I kick it with the best
you're a name I will forget
we pull together , while you wait there, with a blank stare
we're moving on
singing songs that we'd have loved when we were younger 25 years spilled out in this concrete bunker
I'm not sorry you miss this chance
you missed it bending yourself, just to keep up appearances it won't be long, this party's on
a noise that burns your doubts down to the ground
it won't be long now
I'm quiet sometimes
it's hard to speak my mind you're like a knife stuck in my spine
I could expose you and your hypocrisy but I won't, won't let it bother me
cause now I kick it with the best
you're a name I'll soon forget
we pull together against the rest, no looking back
we're moving on
singing songs that we'd have loved when we were younger 25 years spilled out in this concrete bunker
I'm not sorry you miss this chance
you missed it bending yourself, just to keep up appearances it won't be long, this party's on
a noise that burns your doubts down to the ground
it's everything I wanted and you will never have it
it's everything I wanted and you will never have it you'll never understand
how to make yourself a better man
Tuesday night but it feels just like a saturday couldn't sleep last night
but I'm thrilled, fend off my self decay don't act like you're not impressed don't act like you can forget
tuesday night but it feels just like a saturday couldn't sleep last night
but I'm thrilled fend off my self decay

Happy

run my fingers down this blank piece of paper still in shock all out of words
the silence feels now like my curse
I've been screaming at you loud and desperate
please give me something please give me meaning
in a city where there's nothing else to do
than going your old ways
rewind,
boy, you threw away your plans in the first place you tried to save face
but the sun had stopped shining
and this is not a case of running away
this is leaving a place that I never belonged in
I know it’d probably be easier for you if I stayed but there's a smile in your voice
cause you know I'm finally...

Just For Today

took the day off you got on a plane
went to see some bands/ we kinda wished we were playing for now this night is all we have every bruise just another laugh
we took pictures I couldn't remember you look happy and I'll keep em forever
if this is doomed to fail
why would I want to know today
and what's irrationality? you know, you know what's best for me
my phone in your hands typing the words that I might forget
if I could see clear now I'd just go home afraid of regrets
but that's just not how I am so tell me where and when
face to my palm still better than a chance that's missed
this time I made the best of it maybe it's just for today its a promise we'll break and that's okay
you got places to be/ another town each night
got me contemplating
we're barely scratching the surface
I know I'm a sucker for hopeless romance
the sickness, the sweetness I guess I chose all of it
he shakes his head he's so rational
says I'm too far gone and he leaves
he knows you know what's best for me
my phone in your hands typing the words that I might forget
if I could see clear now I'd just go home afraid of regrets
but that's just not how I am/ so tell me where and when
face to my palm still better than a chance that's missed
this time I made the best of it maybe it's just for today/ its a promise we'll break and that's okay
it's a promise we'll break and that's okay
I know I'm a sucker for hopeless romance
always just barely scratching the surface
I know I'm a sucker for hopeless romance
the sickness the sweetness I chose all of it
I know I'm a sucker for hopeless
romance
my phone in your hands typing the words that I might forget
if I could see clear now I'd just go home afraid of regrets
my phone in your hands typing the words that I might forget
if I could see clear now I'd just go home afraid of regrets
but that's just not how I am so tell me where and when
face to my palm still better than a chance that's missed
this time I made the best of it maybe it's just for today it's a promise we'll break
your name on my screen means everything
my heart is in debt but you're a roadmap
your name on my screen means everything
my heart is in debt but you're a safe bet
