Glory days, held up by a seamless safe. Storing all the riches from a past and present place. Stuck inside this headspace every single day. Scratching at the dirt to find what’s lost without a trace. Don’t hold me under. As worlds turn and bridges burn, I’m crashing just like thunder. Fill me up with words and I’ll just lay here every single day. Every single day. I never thought I’d live to see the day that I watched my heart die. A trip around the sun, hope for kingdom come, separate the truth from the lie. That life is nothing more than the passing through of time. I’d give it all to live like I did when I woke up on the bright side. Don’t hold me under. As worlds turn and bridges burn, I’m crashing just like thunder.

Broken Vow - Stronger

I watched it dictate your societal vocabulary
And control your association
But the entire time
It controlled me too
And I was judging from the inside
Unable to dissent
Unable to cease playing your game
Break free
You brought me to my fucking knees
Free from fucking conviction
Unable to enjoy
Life without distractions
Separation from what is holding me down will breed the freedom I have always chased
We faced the day together
Wasted and obscene
Free from our fucking morals
And an attitude serpentine
Look up into the mirror
See my shame staring back at me
I must fucking sever with immediacy
I am so much stronger

What happens when we fade away?
A bastard, a way to play the game
I'm sinking and grinding teeth
To relive what's breaking me
What have they done to you?
A war I was born to lose
A shadow in the way, of what the path has paved
I'm Sinking, I'm wearing thin

I'm spinning circles
Like wheels in my eyes
I've been changing colors
All my metal oxidizing
I know I work myself up
And you'd do anything for me
Watch me kick the dust up
Don't like it settling settling down
I can act so reckless
Take care, you carry me home
It's so strange to be loved
When I insist on being left alone
Why can't I let you have it
You said this should be easy
You think you know me
Well I'll show me lonely
I'm spinning circles
Like wheels in my eyes
I've been changing colors
Like the sun at skyline
There's no one out to get me
I think I'm settling settling down

“Do you still love anything at all
Like you did as a kid?”
She asked and I shrugged it off
I can’t find where everything went wrong
Just a gradual defeat, I guess
A subtle freefall
And now I am not afraid to speak my truth
In that I have grown afraid of what I’ll lose
Now I’m feeling lost and left behind
And I can’t seem to clear my mind
Can’t seem to catch my breath
But still I try
Day by day, I’m getting by
This routine is just running dry
And I’m running out of time
The phone calls get fewer year after year
“Just a line ‘cause you’re on my mind—
To say that I’m still here”
My belt is loose ‘cause I’m not eating
Eyes are dry, hair receding
And I don’t feel right at home when I am
And now I am not afraid to speak my truth
Because I have grown afraid of losing you
The phone calls get fewer year after year
And I swear this is the one where I don’t pick up
I’ve not much of anything to say anyway
‘Cause nothing’s changed
My roots still cling to here
I’m twenty-five and I’m still nowhere near
The person I thought I’d be by now
Now I try to change my storyline
But I can’t seem to leave behind
The prologue that I wrote myself

Why am I so cold
Am I afraid
The moments gone
It slips away
It's been so long
I count the days
It all turns to grey
You need more time away
And I can't make you stay
And everything you say
It won't fade
Was I so wrong
Or led astray
Now that you're gone
The things you said that day
It won't fade
You need more time away
And I can't make you stay
And everything you say
It won't fade
You need more time away from me
And I can't make you see differently
And everything you say to me
It won't fade
Do you think that we could find our way home
Can't help but think we've got this all so wrong
Do you think that we could find our way home
I can't pretend that I'll forget you

Weathering - Chimera

Floating through the Winter when you couldn’t catch a break
Sleeping through the weekend while your loved ones try to live
And it haunts me
Have I lost you?
I can see there’s light passing through you
Your car’s parked in the driveway and the light’s on in your room
But throwing stones at your window’s as good as calling you on the phone
You stay quiet
And I know you need a moment
If you knew I was outside
Could you bear it?
So I drove away
Without ever telling you that I came
Fading in to grey
Without your glimmer, I’m losing my way
I won’t let you slip away...

I was talking to a Baptist preacher
I still see dead kids in my sleep
I started praying to a God after easter
I asked him if he could take care of everything
holy man, slight limp lipped, sighed softly
sort of made me feel nervous at the time
He said something, I didn’t really listen
Its funny how advice can be poisonous
I sung a hymn, in some form confessed
A wooden cross situated between both my breast
I started praying to a God after easter
I’m afraid he won’t listen to me either
Like some dead grave birthed inside my house
Seeing dark heads walk, hang upside down
I started talking to the God of the preacher
Started praying to whatever would listen now
But I still see dead kids in my sleep
And I’m afraid of never not seeing their hearts beat
I keep praying I'm released from this witness
It takes a lot more faith than I've got to begin with.

Another night I lie awake and I think for goodness sake
I can’t imagine what I’d be without you here
I’m not one to promise to but I am to promise you
that must take the kind of patience of a saint
To the apple of my eye, my cloak and dagger in disguise
I’m but a parody
an ode to better days
So please release me, good grief repeating
I’ve never been the type for keeping plans
hell or high water, in no order
if can’t means you won’t than I won’t try, til I know that I can
This couldn’t come at a worse time
better off for wrong or right
as for clockwork, time ticks to my mistakes
just a creature of routine, obvious a constant theme
don’t know why you’d ever stick around and wait
Up in the air, on coming down
head in the clouds, feet off the ground
just to disappear without a trace
no I’d never swear it to
do my best and follow through
you can’t imagine just how much it takes
maybe you do
you have the patience of a saint
Chorus
So please don’t leave me, good grief repeating
I’ve never been the type for keeping plans
hell or high water, in no order
if can’t means you won’t, than I won’t try, til I know that I can

I should have known
The time would come when lies would run red
And yet I find the weight of the world on my mind
I don’t owe you…
Now it’s real
The pace of change and past mistakes we made
Leave me alone
I know damn well what I will never be
I don’t owe you anything
Over and over, again and again
You pull out my heart for the sake of the trend
I’ll leave it behind despite your commands
draped in the sorrow of my loneliness
I would never…

i've been working on myself
but it's not going great
& i'm sorry
that i'm not what you believe in.
i'm trying to be
what you want me to be
& i'm sorry
& it's okay that you're leaving.
without me,
me without you.
this is all that
it's coming down
with you & me,
& i'm sorry.
it's ok if you leave.
so i'll see you in the fall,
i swear that i'll make it.
i'll give it my all,
i hope you believe me.
i said i'll see you in the fall,
i'm trying to make it.
i gave it my all,
i hope you believe me.
without me,
me without you.
this is all that
it's coming down
with you & me.
this is all that
i ever wanted to be.
