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.

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

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

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

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
