overstayed my welcome.

I should have left
A couple hours ago
But I couldn't help but find
Reasons to continue the show
So I stuck around long after this place hit its plateau
But now I've captured every essence
I don't think it needs my prescence
Now I think it's time for me to go.
'Cause when it's hard to decline
Even the weakest of vines
You get snared
And impaired
'Cause just as you release
They grab you by the feet
And you're stuck making plans
That you can't stand.
I think I've overstayed my welcome.
I should have left
A couple hours ago
But I couldn't help but find
Reasons to continue the show
So I stuck around long after this place hit it's plateau
But now I've captured every essence
I don't think it needs my prescence
Now I think it's time for me to go.
Ooo
This time I won't be swayed
To overstay
Ooo
I think I should conclude
Not to be rude.
But I think I've overstayed my welcome.
I should have left
A couple hours ago
But I couldn't help but find
Reasons to continue the show
So I stuck around long after this place hit it's plateau
But now I've captured every essence
I don't think it needs my prescence
Now I think it's time for me to go.

Blisters, blisters on my feet
Sister, sister, carry me
I wish, I wish to take it back
But I've wandered too far into the trap
And I reflect
Bad choice, sad voice
One white flag hoist.
See your face in people's eyes
Your self-hate translates to your guise
Bitterness growing inside
Makes for one unpleasant ride
And all you have to show are
Insults in cults
It's not your fault.
There's a hazard
Bouncing in between our words
Some bastard
Planting seeds of weeds to
Blossom into doubt dandelions
As long as it's their words you're buying, my friend.
Some bounce off while others sting
Some give you headaches with that piercing ring
Standing tall is difficult
When every response is a nasty scold
Piling on your shoulders
You scream for a team
As you lose self-esteem.
There's a hazard
Bouncing in between our words
Some bastard
Planting seeds of weeds to
Blossom into doubt dandelions
As long as it's their words you're buying, my friend.
There's a hazard
Bouncing in between our words
Some bastard
Planting seeds of weeds to
Blossom into doubt dandelions
As long as it's their words you're buying
You'll keep yourself up all night crying
So know that they're all lying, my friend.

rainbows on the wall.

Rainbows on the wall
And all the corners are gone
Let's sit down in a circle
And sing our song
Light prism reversed
This is all of our curse
No angles to direct you
On what to do first
To do first
I've been looking for a definition
To maybe help even out my contrition
Think I might have overstepped with my ambition
Didn't think I'd ever see a change in my position
I don't think it was my intention
To suddenly see the world in suspension
How have I never heard the scholars mention
That what I saw also had a massive extension
To see
Things you wouldn't believe
Beyond the categories
Outside of your little cubby
Circular cieling
This is quite the feeling
Not sure if it's terrifying
Or appealing
Footsteps on the ground
An unnatural sound
And visions of the predecessing
Battleground
Battleground
I've been looking for a definition
To maybe help even out my contrition
Think I might have overstepped with my ambition
Didn't think I'd ever see a change in my position
I don't think it was my intention
To suddenly see the world in suspension
How have I never heard the scholars mention
That what I saw also had a massive extension
To see
Things you wouldn't believe
Beyond the categories
Outside of your little cubby
You'll see
Things you wouldn't believe
Beyond the categories
Outside of your little cubby
You'll see
Things you wouldn't believe
Beyond the categories
Outside of your little cubby
You'll see
Things you wouldn't believe
Beyond the categories
Outside of your little cubby.

afterglow.

You and I lying in the afterglow
The sun rises up at the top of the world
When did it get to be six in the morning?
Time flew by without any warning.
I know there's a lot of time
An open day to just unwind
In the afterglow.
Mind is pretty fried but it feels okay
Saw a spider so we had to go and burn the whole brain
Remember last night when you couldn't stop laughing
And you fell out of the chair that you had been grasping?
I like your skin touching mine
Your eyes are taking back their shine
In the afterglow.
I think right now I'm content
I'd say my time was well-spent
I never wanted to leave
That's really saying something for me.
Think we left a mess, but I'll clean it tomorrow
We can stay a little longer but the time is borrowed
But I would take hours off the end of my life
If I could make this moment spread throughout the night.
I just want to lay in bed
With your head resting on my chest
In the afterglow.
I think right now I'm content
I'd say my time was well-spent
I never wanted to leave
That's really saying something for me
In the afterglow.
You and I lying in the afterglow
The sun rises up at the top of the world
When did it get to be six in the morning?
Time flew by without any warning.

I don't aim.
04:18

In a limbo
Stuck with what I know
Guns akimbo
Yet I feel so cold
I jump from the pier
But the reason's unclear this time
I map out a plan
But what I can't withstand
Is I can't remember why.
And it's weird that I don't aim
No interest in this game
Just getting through the day
I hope that's okay
I hope that's okay.
Missing you
Used to hurt so bad
It's been so long
I want that feeling back
There's pleasure in sadness
It's better than blandness
That is here
What drove my conviction
Now comes off as fiction
And I could disappear.
And it's weird that I don't aim
No interest in this game
Just getting through the day
I hope that's okay
I hope that's okay
I hope that's okay.
I used to seek out the proper medication
But just like letting thoughts run, it has it's pros and cons
One side has my right arm, the other has the left
I think I've come to realize that neither one is best.
And it's weird that I don't aim
No interest in this game
Just getting through the day
I hope that's okay
I hope that's okay
I hope that's okay.

I'm treading water lately
My grip is getting shaky
I didn't change my clothes today
I'm trying not to cry
For help from acquaintances online
'Cause what good has a status ever done me?
I don't want your pity or your sympathy
I need somebody's empathy
Who can see me
See what I see
Keeps me breathing
And I get that you are trying to help
But I have to go find somebody else
Please don't comfort me
Sometimes it's best to let me bleed
(He's unbreakable
He's unshakable)
Please don't comfort me
Sometimes it's best to just let me bleed
(I saw him yesterday
Didn't have much to say.)
I don't need a solution
Any more dwelling is just pollution
I've lived out every possibility
Can't cope in an easy way
This epiphany is making me pay
At this point I am just a liability.
I don't want your pity or your sympathy
I need somebody's empathy
Who can see me
See what I see
Keeps me breathing
And I get that you are trying to help
But I have to go find somebody else
Please don't comfort me
Sometimes it's best to let me bleed
(He's unbreakable
He's unshakable)
Please don't comfort me
Sometimes it's best to just let me bleed
(I saw him yesterday
Didn't have much to say.)
Please don't comfort me
Please don't comfort me
(He's unbreakable
He's unshakable)
Please don't comfort me
I saw him yesterday
Didn't have much to say.

silence.

Silence is misunderstood
Silence, it's bad or it's good
It's a moment of shock
Or meditation in the woods
And you know I'm not messing around
When I tell you silence has a sound
If you wait till 1am in the desert night
You lay down in the sand and close your eyes
You hear silence
And all of that previous violence
Is lost in this devious silence
I feel an increasing in my sense
Silence
Silence is prayer or defeat
Quiet, you'll get us both seen
All I need is peace
To replenish the dopamine
An alarm causes gold to rust
And the chaos causes wanderlust
So if you long to be numb and be quiet too
Turn off your phone and follow through
You hear silence
And all of that previous violence
Is lost in this devious silence
I feel an increasing in my sense
Silence
Oh, what a noisy road
Where tranquility is such a rarity
Give me some silence
And go help yourself to my every penny
You hear silence
And all of that previous violence
Is lost in this devious silence
I feel an increasing in my sense
And all that I hear is silence
And all of that previous violence
Is lost in this devious silence
I feel an increasing in my sense
Silence.
