New And Used 03:08
it was the right thing to do to not go chasing after you I may have caught my breath but in the long run, I would lose Now summer comes just in time to save me from the lifeless abyss of a winter with no sun I'm calling me out for being so down and all I need now is a delicate sound to take the reels from my head and put them in the ground The pain dissipates and all is well I manage to escape from my own hell I like the frames that make me forget about myself I hit a new low, but my friends saved me was it confusion, or a lack of empathy? The black widow can kill without feeling anything I feel so used, but that's okay, cause it feels new I'm calling me out for being so down and all I need now is to leave somehow and find my own peace of mind in the delicate sound if a broken bone can grow back stronger, then it may be awhile until I find her staring back with eyes that match the oncoming warmth of the summer

Lying awake with the window open Fixated on the street below Well, it helped a few souls To get to where they were going As it stayed put And it grew old Look around with the shades down Looping my thoughts Speak them out loud, "Don't you wanna be somebody, some day? Somebody, somehow." Picture if we didn't need to sleep To stay alive I'd drive all night That's not the case, you can't stay awake I watch you doze off On the passenger side Start behind the starting line But run like hell When you hear that gun fire Take my clothes off 'Cause they're weighing me down If you're different, you need to take pride It's sunny out, baby, it always is Clouds are an illusion meant to keep you in I'm glad to have gifted musicians as friends Everyday, I strive to be like them Look around with the shades down Looping my thoughts Speak them out loud, "Don't you wanna be somebody, some day? Somebody, somehow." Picture if we didn't need to sleep To stay alive I'd drive all night That's not the case, you can't stay awake I watch you doze off With a big smile Clarity revealed itself to me Clarity

Unit Zero 03:34
Inside the system I start to redefine. What it means to be upside down. Every time I start to reply You go offline Can’t run and hide behind Irrational fears That describe the way that I feel inside Unit 01 And I waited for ten whole years To sell that box with all my stuff But maybe I’ll just stay And keep on wasting away Outside Why would I want to go outside These walls have never hurt me What if I meet the Sun Oh no He’ll never go away Will I ever sleep alone It’s time that you went home Now I’m tracking lines down the window I want to run and catch water Get out and dry myself off To find that someone took my clothes And left me in the clothes It feels so much like that dream Where I don’t wake up

Nagisa 03:09
Turn right This is where we looked at the sky And watched the boats pass by I never knew this sort of view could stay the same I've been away from here for awhile I'm tired Let's head back home I'm awake But I don't think I will be for long Settle down, fall asleep It's important to me That I dream Of good things I still remember what you said, "Don't let all of those thoughts get the better of your head." You would take over for a time Every single thought you had Was the opposite of mine Time Two different hands transpose Orbit around alone Before they end up close A change of mind With a particular song That I could hear long after all the lights went off Has it really been five whole years? I'm here now In my arms, if you want, you can shed all of your tears I still remember what you said, "Don't let all of those thoughts get the better of your head." You would take over for a time Every single thought you had Was the opposite of mine If we are one in the same Why don't you ever come when I call your name? I can't beat it, no It's impossible Let me let it go, God Let me let it go Nowadays When I look at the sky The whole picture is there But the paint is not dry I try to imagine What life would be like Had you kept your promise Hadn't left us behind If I were back on the path Under those cherry trees I would still call your name Would you remember me? And all of this It was well worth the pain Let's live it again Instead, this time, stay I can't let you go

You were my guy Now you can't even look me in the eye Close, close your mind Think what you will I think you're blind So you said Please, leave me be I don't wanna know where you're coming from So you said Please, just let go I don't care enough about you bro Think about the times Collaborations, sharing of our minds I don't know 'bout you I thought I did, but man who are you So I said Who the fuck are you To tell me who I am, what I've been through So I said Who the fuck am I I'm the one you can't look in the eye But I'll stare you down

Could It Be 03:30
Can you please keep quiet? It's a little late now Don't know how it started Baying like a bloodhound Save your voice, save your voice easy come, hard to go Walk away, walk away Turn around and go home Both worn out it seems the yelling's taking a toll Hit the lights Friday night Fuck a bed, hit the floor Could it be the broken glass, making you act like that? Making everybody feel so bad Well, could it be the broken glass? Letter by letter, spelling out a bad word What good will come of this? Forgive and don't remember for the sake of the rest of us For the sake of... Could it be the broken glass, making you act like that? Making everybody feel so bad Well, could it be the broken glass? Just relax, I've got you Don't pay no mind to the sound Just relax, I've got to Donate no mind To the sound Just relax...

Steam rose like a ghost Into a cold summer night A pair of eyes, pitch black Stared back Silently asking, "Why?" And Hope's legs flailed but failed To reach thick blanket woods every time A pair of lights, pitch white Peaked over the horizon I should've called someone with a gun I should've called someone with a gun I should've called someone I should've called I should've called someone with a gun I should've called someone with a gun I should've called someone I should've called Was there a chance it could have lived on? Was there a chance it could have lived on? Was there a chance it could have? Was there a chance? There was so much more I could have done There was so much more I could have done There was so much more I could There was so much Is it the norm to suffer before rest? Can't imagine if I were staring at death For that long Scared stiff until the moment just before It overcomes We all do our best not to think about it Guilt manifests in branded memories That stay with me until I'm gone

Next Stop 06:37
Take another dose Comatose So far away From what was closest to me You need to breathe Keep breathing Don't stop breathing And lose all sense of being What am I afraid of? What am I even made of? Shut down, turn around And run out of here now The lack of company Makes it loud in my brain I am going deaf I'm slowly going insane I'm slowly going insane Been waiting for The last train I'll take 'Cause when I get there I'll want to stay and Drink the days away It'll be a big mistake Maybe this time It'll hurt me enough To make me want to change Age has revealed flaws In things once thought to be Flawless in nature Unscathed monotony Now the water is clouded with remorse Slowly running down the drain Bottomless, infinite Pitch black, imminent As I left her there Sitting in her seat I couldn't break her gaze from the windowpane It was soaked with rain That made its way onto her face In our last exchange I said, "I swear, you'll be fine without me as long as you're still breathing. Keep breathing. Don't ever stop breathing and being you."
