S.W.M.N. 03:25
wading through oceans of sand to find a state serene dust kicked into the air then scrubbing my slate clean going nowhere but my legs keep moving don’t really care that my eyes see nothing some folks won’t dare make the climb for sand surfing lie down face up breathing through my sandpaper lungs take in that canvas of blue it helps me grow more numb

She 02:09
still can’t sleep she’s stuck in my head can’t empty my mind alone with this dread pair of eyes watching me and they won’t go away so i’m up all night she’s here to stay dreaming of the door leave it open wide see them in the frame there’s nowhere to hide i gaze into those eyes and i feel so afraid i keep the door shut i’m here to stay

Walkaway 02:29
please don’t walk away i can’t find the time or place there’s just too much to say it always gets too late hard times give and take some feelings are hard to place can’t find the time or place to tell you it’s not a mistake please don’t run away you know i’ll never change i think of you every day you can’t always have it your way please don’t walk away please don’t go that way

Lost 02:34
feeling lost but it’s all good you say i never do enough but i feel i’ve done all i could but it’s the end of the world should i feel you’re leaving me behind i know you’re here but it’s empty when i look into your eyes i don’t know where we went wrong i try to leave but never for long i always run from the past but i’m done this time and i don’t look back trying to forget the way i feel now i’m cold as ice feels like my heart is made of steel ‘cause your love came with a fee anytime love looks at me i pretend to not see

Wild Rumpus 02:59
lightning bug lit summer night stumbling through the woods feet bare spiteful of this world that takes clawing, cursing at the air pining in the open field to the stars the creature stares ‘cause i just miss having you there “keeping all the guilt built up inside leave those painful memories in that summer of one nine” that’s just not a way to live a life if you want a flower to grow you’ve got to treat it kind can’t keep my emotions controlled i’m blind like a child, a tadpole treating myself with such neglect feeling like a pest, an insect i’ve been feeling under the weather missing those connections i’ve severed i’ve been spending too much time with all this on my mind “keeping all the guilt built up inside leave those painful memories in that summer of one nine” that’s just not the way i’ll live my life if you want a flower to grow you’ve got to treat it kind
