Untitled_3 03:31
thank you for making me the way that i am i'll never forget you so we'll always be friends in some way i'd say it's okay but you don't agree and it's sad you see i don't think in the right ways sometimes i don't know what to think, who cares what they think what do they really have to say i want to dance on rooftops, i want to glide away take me, take me away to that special place i'm sorry that i'm too deep i'm sorry that i'm sad and weep i wish i could sing a song that would make everyone get along the happiest one

i wish you would say its true but the feelings lost inside of you cause you're not where i'm at love of mine i can't make you feel it but i'm trying is this hopeless, baby tell me try to slow it down but i'm at full speed am i everything, that you need i'm begging you to believe in me
6.
softly in the dim light it’s you you move into the silence everything i want can’t be true i am trapped and caught by you burned and my ashes are scattered i have a feeling none of this mattered we were temporary, we were fleeting i still hear the sound of your breathing i was blind, i felt it too much you knew it and you used it you win and now i’m crushed i can’t have everything i want

a ship was found today all alone at sea the captain is never supposed to leave but they weren't there this time no they were lost untied the rope from the escape boat took the paddle in hand moved away from the past it had become a sluggish tar pit it needed to be cut loose it was an infectious deadly, deadly disease that almost took their life away the lighter boat made for an easier time long gone that giant ship, long gone the tar pit expecting, waiting, hoping but it never came they found the vessel inviting but home was still on the front of their minds they couldn't forget they pondered their descent would they let the gods decide? take it on their own time? it wasn't getting better, would it ever change? they sat, waited, waited, waited, waited
15.
three shades of grey, i see i feel in always why am i hazy? constantly, constantly clouded these drugs are louder than your voice tv and coffee, make your choice dipping down, follow the path always, always, i'll be the last
16.
i saw a man sitting far away from me he looked like he'd travelled into infinity sitting next to the broken waves he bobbed his head and screamed away the passing people all stared and looked at him he smiled back ceased yelling and grinned the eyes were blacker than no stars or moon and the dim light covered none of the room the small shadows reflected the gloom a monster creeped out of his pocket he ignored it then shot off like a rocket

Lullaby 01:58
lullaby friend of mine lullaby friend of mine i sing you the lullaby as you fall asleep as you dream oh as you scream in your nightmares oh where do they come from lullaby, friend of mine will you listen, lullaby? will you hear, the lullaby? friend of mine lullaby lullaby friend of mine
18.
all the people looked sad and scared all their faces blurred the same please sir, i don't want to meet you please sir, don't tell me your name break you, you'll break me second to you and first to me thank you, leave here now never see you, let me know how
