I Think I'll Stay

I find myself missing you
Drinking a bottle of your favourite beer
Half naked in an empty room
Debating whether to disappear
I'm feeling pretty fucked of late
Who know's what's going on with you
Thought we were fine, guess I was wrong
Always thought you were sincere
Hate me. Go ahead and hate me. Blame me for all the
Horrid creatures swimming through your psyche.
I'm friendlier with them than I've ever been with you
But you're going to need to come to me to pull you through
Fight me and you'll lose
You may think I'm heartless but I never want to lose a muse
And for you, you know I'd fade away
If I thought it good for you, you know I'd fade away
If you'd be happy, you know I'd fade away
But I think I'm what you need, I think I'll stay
I wait and watch and pause and hold and heal
No matter the furious words you shout at me I'll never seal
We agreed a long time ago I'd give you what you need
You've other's now, but I'm still ideal
You're clearly still after what I have to offer
Unlock and flee and free and hide and I'll never again bother you
You're a wonderful little creature, groping through as best you can
But come take my hand, I'll show you why we began.
Yet still you
Hate me. Go ahead and hate me. Blame me for all the
Wicked monsters climbing through your psyche.
I'm friendlier with them than I've ever been with you
But you're going to need to come to me to pull you through
Fight me and you'll lose
You may think I'm heartless but I never want to lose a muse
And for you, you know I'd fade away
If I thought it good for you, you know I'd fade away
If you'd be happy, you know I'd fade away
But I think I'm what you need, I think I'll stay
I'm not to blame for all that's proving grim
If anything I want to help you take a breath and swim
I need to touch the sore spots if only to dress the wound
I hope to see you flourish and see you returned
And so I guess I find myself waiting once again
Let's open just one more bottle so it's easier to explain
If I didn't care, I'd never sing those songs I sing of you
So come to me for you. Be strong. I've nothing left to say.
But you can
Hate me. Go ahead and hate me. Blame me for all the
Kafkaesque wonders sleeping in your psyche.
I'm friendlier with them than I've ever been with you
But you're gonna need to come to me to pull you through
Fight me and you'll lose
You may think I'm heartless but I never want to lose a muse
And for you, you know I'd fade away
If I thought it good for you, you know I'd fade away
If you'd be happy, you know I'd fade away
But I think I'm what you need, I think I'll stay
Hate me. Go ahead and hate me. Blame me for all the
lurking beasties prowling through your psyche.
I'm friendlier with them than I've ever been with you
But you're going to need to come to me to pull you through
Fight me and you'll lose
You may think I'm heartless but I never want to lose a muse
And for you, you know I'd fade away
If I thought it good for you, you know I'd fade away
If you'd be happy, you know I'd fade away
But I think I'm what you need, I think I'll stay
I'll sit and wait for you to find
The strength of will or piece of mind
To come and claim the comfort that
Is waiting here. I will remind you.

Leave Them Behind
03:42
|
|||
As the trembling field lies before you
And the scorched earth lies behind
You should always be clear of your surroundings
Your path always well defined
The others who walk your path with you
May stray from the way you must go
Those who travel their own way
May not know all that you know
There are some whose journey
Will conclude before ever it should
Leaving but only a shadow
Beneath where they once upright stood
No matter the path of the others nor how
Closely the ties you two bind
You must always have the force of will to
Leave the dying behind
To see your friendships fall and fade
Is a pain that we all must bear
After they have fallen to nothing
'Were they ever there?'
When a person departs away from you
At least you know that it must be
But when the same person lies fallen
The whole scene is clear to see
No matter the path of the others nor how
Closely the ties you two bind
You must always have the force of will to
Leave the dying behind
And though their footsteps may walk your walk
Your patterns wholly intertwine
You must always have the force of will
To leave the dying behind
Weak and helpless, heed these words
The righteous plough on undeterred
There's nothing further you can gain
By living someone else's pain
The desire isn't to forget
Just ensure you hold no regret
So you can stand and learn to be
Content with just a memory

Lullaby of an Insomniac
03:21
|

I'm surviving on breakups and nicotine
You should see the things that it does to me
Long nights and the sun is yellow, I think
This isn't how it is meant to be
I think, I think the sun is yellow
I think, I think the sun is yellow
I think, I think the sun is yellow
I think I will never get a wink of sleep
Lie awake at day, stare straight through my dreams
My thoughts they all surround me, dancing to caffeine
My world begins to open
It tears itself apart
Have you ever surfaced to see your beating heart?
I cannot create but I see to amaze
Reality gives all I need as I fall in a daze
The sounds I see, the sights I hear
They belong to me
This is how it is going to be
The rising sun betrays me time and time again
Every time I need to ask just how long it has been
The glowing man stood next to me displays his watch
The hands pounce up
They mark another notch
As I commune with creatures seen only through my eye
I'm summoned to comply with the sleep they can't supply
Crawl into my mind for another day to come
This is how I want it to be
I think, I think the sun is yellow
I think, I think the sun is yellow
I think, I think the sun is yellow
I think I will never get a wink of sleep

Gift From The Gods
04:35
|

With such a disguise you're still a surprise
And in your reprise you will all fall away
In your place you will leave all that you have achieved
Can you really precieve all you try to convey
For you've nothing to hide when you walk alongside
all of those who preside over your next advance
You may think that you're meek but you've never been weak
And with such a mystique you leave nothing to chance
Are you really that strong? Find a place to belong
And in time you'll prolong your reality
As weak as it stands give in to your demands
Lets misunderstand what makes you happy
You come from the gods as a gift from above
Your beauty belies pretense
The world that lies before us all
Has little left to form your suspense
When you close your eyes tight cause you hate to see
the great splendour you're leaving behind
I won't let you forget, I will meet you there
In time we'll become intertwined
Behind long hair you crawl. Find a place to install
Those of us who stand tall know just what will soon be
Your eyes will soon open, you'll touch all thats golden
And with unspent emotion you've got to foresee
The time when you're all that is too high to fall
You'll share with me the small part you've hidden alone
As a shock we will come but soon you'll succumb
You'll know where you come from and just how far you've grown
You come from the gods as a gift from above
Your beauty belies pretense
The world that lies before us all
Has little left to form your suspense
When you close your eyes tight cause you hate to see
the great splendour you're leaving behind
I won't let you forget, I will meet you there
In time we'll become intertwined
Maybe in another space and time
You'll become worthy to be mine
but until then you're nothing more
Looking for something to restore

Moving Through The Wild
05:58
|

It's 7:45 and the night is still a child
Those around me may not know it but we're moving through the wild
In the distance a lone redshirted man is playing with a ball
He isn't expecting anything at all
Did you forget the way we used to live?
I always wondered if it clicked in you, you always were perceptive
I think you made a sacrifice of all you knew for the promise of more
Think there's an ache you won't ignore.
I can only hope it's gone well for you
As we climb this mountain you know you'll have a dimmer view
When you invite the fog and smoke it makes you harder to find
It doesn't matter now that you're refined.
You only want
The deeper hue of the sky so blue but
Could you claim it
When I see you climbing lampposts just to be closer to the yellow light
I guess you were always right
It was so long ago but I never did stand upright
Does it matter whether or not you were placed upon a pedastal
If your life is still a fractal
I would always imagine your walls
Adorned with sharpened blades and angered scrawl
Did you ever remove them? Did you ever burn the candle
That I gave in the hopes that you'd stand idle
You only want
the brighter scene of the ocean green but
Could you claim it
When I see you climbing lampposts just to be closer to the warming light
Why do I sing to you
when I know you'll never hear the meaning
Why must I bring to you
My knowledge though it's fleeting
One day I will lose this song
Until then I'll sing another
Until then I can only dream
About all I'll soon uncover
You only want
the deeper hue of the ocean blue but
Could you claim it
When I see you climbing lampposts
You only want
the brighter scene of the ocean green but
Could you claim it
When I see you climbing lampposts just to be closer to the warming light
