Floorboards

|
You opened the door before I could ever speak
When you never held me and I cried myself to sleep
You paved the way and rolled out the carpet
As my sweaty palms lose hold of the steering column
When you were inside my body I walked out the door
My soul was in the sky and my heart was on the floor
I sink myself into the patterns on the floorboards
I sink my teeth and I tear and rend
Because I never may be whole again

Aegis
02:20
|

|
It shouldn’t be this way
I can’t protect you from the pain
Oh, this heart in disarray
And you’re just screaming for escape
How can anyone be so cruel?
As the man who does this to you
I’m sorry I can’t be more and more and more
Why must the world be so cruel
As to do to this to you?
Why are we left with nowhere to go
No shelter from the cold
Why is the world this way?

Birds swarm through the winter streets
And wrap around my car
Like you wrapped around my heart
The truck holds the train
The same way the heart is cleaved
Trust no one
On these long cold roads
Not the voice on the radio
Or the friend on the phone
Two dead bodies
A pair of frosted eyes
If I chose another way
You never would have died
How to let go
When these roads lead to all these
Nightmares
and all these dreams?
This is where you ended me.

Seek Forgiveness
01:12
|
|||
|
He made me believe that I don't deserve to be forgiven
That I deserve to be haunted for every mistake
He made me believe that my reactions justified his hands around my neck
He made me believe that I was the monster and the fraud
And so did he
And so did he
And so did she

Audience of One
01:39
|
|||
|
Presenting to an audience of none
Rampage until it's done
You have your hostages
And I have my songs
You're so charming and so sweet
And you wanted to destroy me

Fleeting
02:19
|
|||
|
We exist in these spaces
That crumble at our feet
Find meaning in these faces
So fleeting and sweet
And if I truly love you will you never walk away?
We walk this world alone
And every place we could call a home
Shatters at the door
So fleeting and brief
And if I truly love you will you promise to stay?

Sincerity
02:15
|
|||
|
Delicate clasp where my fingers entwined
Your delicate lies are fading with time
You must pay for your sins
You must finally fall
A decade she waits in repose
Silences and whispers
You know that everybody knows
The things you did to her
The things you did to me
Who you are is who you seem
You'll never have the life you dreamed
You have to love with sincerity
You have to love to be free

When time scraped down
And the texts were left on read
It was the hardest it's ever been
When the phone just rang
And no one came to hold my hand
It was the hardest it's ever been
A million moments passed alone
Because you knew what you knew
And did what you chose to do
And the only person you thought about was you

Return to Darkness
01:28
|
|||
|
Comatose clenched with the oil on your arms
Dreaming of heaven before we pack your wounds with dirt
And you descend again
Your heart is failing in both versions of you
Gasping for air
Clinging to blankets like they're not really there
You could have stayed where you were going
You could have gone the whole way
The vegetation in your heart
Is the most honest thing you've ever done
The failing of your lungs
Was as introspective as you come
I put on my Sunday dress
I swore that I'd try my best

Heard on High
02:14
|
|||
|
You never deserved my love
I never deserved to feel like I wasn’t enough
If I falter, you die
You make me watch you take another slice
If I falter it’s another black eye
… you really hurt me this time
If I breath slow and put my soul in the air
I won’t even notice you’re there
With my teeth clenched and a starfish stare
… you really hurt me this time
You really hurt me this time

You opened the door before I could ever speak
When you never held me and I cried myself to sleep
You paved the way and rolled out the carpet
As my sweaty palms lose hold of the steering column
When you were inside my body I walked out the door
with my soul in the sky and my heart on the floor
I sink myself into the patterns on the floorboards
I sink my teeth and I tear and rend
Because I may never be whole again
