Upstate 01:43
Untie me from this anchor made up of faces So taken with cages Closed in by lines they drew This is so fucked How did you go so far you lost sight of who you wanted to be Staying in station? Growing sick of not wearing my heart on my sleeve and Wearing myself down til I have no choice I'm leaving But I've always been taught to stand in place I know in my chest this divided town can't mend In the end at least I found my real friends Days were a series of sticks and stones It took your words to crack my bones So try your hardest to hold your tongue I'd fracture my own trying to break this tension.

Astoria 03:21
Sat in a pool of self confidence It's evaporating quick, just let me sink Just let it sink in, just let it sink in Can't you see that I am trying? I am trying not to spend another year so sad Or wondering who I am Instead of wasting away you could've wasted time with me, I asked you to sink or swim and you chose to drown in apathy And honestly You're just so fake I never knew what I'd have to go through the past three sixty five days Spent under the weight of getting over this And I'm starting to feel new In truth I'd rather be broken and used I can't help myself If you catch me warming the bench again on cold November nights alone You should know I'll step to the plate if you picked up the phone I thought I told you to go home before you're locked out with only Street lights for company, company The winter seems longer than ever, the longer the better Snowfall's the only thing I have left to get lost in I'm learning to weather the storm in your words Even if I capsize I'll drift to the shoreline The movies always romanticise these sleepless nights But the plot line to my life has been killing me And I'm starting to feel new In truth I'd rather be broken and used I've seen enough five AM's To never want to get out of bed again.

Temporary 03:24
I hope you find yourself buried underneath who you've become I've tried and failed to feel the same way about anyone How can it be that my head and my heart see things so differently? Cause I don't want this anymore We're just ephemeral You'll only stick around for so long, witness it all go wrong again I'll stay close minded and ignorant If it keeps me close to comfort If it keeps me close Keep me close to comfort There's no space left between the truth and your lies The words in his ear are the same that you whispered in mine And you can swear that you tried but then why Does this end the same way time after time after time? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Between this and death I'm not sure where I sit on the fence There are some things a pretty face can't mend I can't mend, I can't mend, I So tell me over again that you were running scared from the only one who ever cared About the scars you hold so close The ones you never show Composing the corners of a hollow bed Longing to be intact again There's no space left between the truth and your lies The words in his ear are the same that you whispered in mine And you can swear that you tried but then why Does this end the same way time after time after time? After time after time I don't want this anymore. You left with the rest of what made me complete This was all just temporary You left with the rest of made me complete I was only temporary.

Where did it all go so wrong? Sick of these endless nights that I spend awake and alone You are the weight on my bones You are the long drive home Thoughts are as clouded as English skies when you're on my mind When you're my mind, and I hate to admit how frequent that is Your shadow's too much to lift No shelter from the ghosts of this Tell me what I need like I don't know myself Without you around Cause you've made all these choices for me But time can't take away the flaws in our history Cut me out, blistered so deep I lost myself, you didn't even lose sleep You are the weight on my bones You are the long drive home The expanse between what this is and what it was meant to be Is suffocating I've never known distance like the miles that part us The borders of my teeth that I just can't get past Hiding honesty Honestly I'm sinking again Attempting to avoid my grief Tell me what I need like I don't know myself Without you around Cause you've made all these choices for me But time can't take away the flaws in our history If you're looking for sympathy don't look for me I've spent enough time craving your company Enough days spent on my knees If you're looking for sympathy don't look for me I've spent enough time craving your company I'll let this defeat me again If you're looking for sympathy don't look for me I've spent enough time craving your company Enough days spent on my knees Cut me out, blistered so deep I lost myself, you didn't even lose sleep Cut me out, blistered so deep All work and no play Tell me what I need like I don't know myself Without you around All work and no play I feel no greater loss than watching you drive away.

I'm a giant in a world that makes me feel small Like none of the things I said filled the spaces around you There's nothing I can do and nothing I want to when making this feel right feels so wrong I write the same song just a different time another place Another day I threw away Overthinking all the shit that can never change I'm coming to terms with the fact that there's not much left of you that I miss You weren't there to begin with And maybe today is about time I realise That you don't mean a thing you say And you don't know a fucking thing about me I'm a ghost in a world that made me feel so real But I was too numb to conceal it Remove all of these artificial feelings I watched two years pass me staring up at the ceiling I've drawn this dotted line a thousand times This ink runs dry But I can't get you out of the picture You are the thief who took the best of me I'm coming to terms with the fact that there's not much left of you that I miss You weren't there to begin with And maybe today is about time I realise That you don't mean a thing you say And you don't a fucking thing And you don't know a fucking thing about me We never quite got this right I'm fine by myself tonight By morning that'll be a lie We never quite got this right I'm fine by myself tonight Two years to the day spent away from myself I'm coming to terms with the fact that there's not much left of you that I miss You weren't there to begin with And maybe today is about time I realise That you don't mean a thing you say And you don't a fucking thing And you don't know a fucking thing about me
