1.
An Apology 00:34
I wish we could share the things we never had All those times that would make life easier The arguments And lessons responsibilities I never wanted to be an older sibling I'm sorry we're so close but so far
2.
This pattern is blue I'll just hold my breath What could i do? I was only a child The closer we stand, the further I feel Grasping at straws.
3.
defense from attacks that lack rationale, semblence hysteria. hysteria. unfounded, outdated. you lost this time you'll lose again. so what card is left to play?
4.
Shigoto 00:18
I've sold too much time Trapped in this routine. Push me toward the windowsill Spinning my wheels Time will just leak into Another awkward break room silence
5.
I remember getting used to hard wood floors Now we can't even sleep in our own beds Tossing and turning I fidget and scuttle Gasping and gagging Like the first breath after a coma How disgusting I can only move forward with good intentions. These unfamiliar ceilings mean nothing.
6.
struggle to grab the words avoid the awkward stares errors in hardware sit back and let this play decisions to make live in the background and let it pass by or smash all the pieces that aim to confine? we're not on our own.
7.
We've been down This road before. Time and time again. Late nights turn black The old one step forward Two steps back I know what I think you wanna hear. I try and try but never understand. Bring it back, Let's start again. I'll get it right in the end.
8.
quicksand with every word that is said. like the old phrase "you're damned if you do and you're damn if you don't". backward goose chase of pleasing a concept that won't stay the same. there are some things that can't be made simple, made easy. we try our best.
9.
How far have we really come? Hiding behind stale ideals. Don't expect to wash your hands This won’t go away. This is the first step and you're setting everyone back. The old world is still in front of us.
10.
Time will tell us if you chose to stand on the wrong side of this point in history. You can't go back in time, the doors are unlocked with strength and pride. Will you choose to stand on the wrong side of history?
11.
Presque Vu 00:55
How can I say this without breaking an egg? To be so blunt at the wrong times. What does soft language heal? I'm still searching for the words. I'm still searching. I need more time.
12.
while i'm ahead i'll close the door and remember things the best they were. the rationale of suicide can't be applied to a whole life. Everyday these steps seem so much bigger than the last. Have I peaked? Is this all down hill? What if it doesn't get better than this? Have I seen all there is to see? Living groundhog's day again Have I seen all there is to see? Is this how I rationalized my life?
