evergreen

watch me start unraveling
right when i stop listening;
saying all these things i don't mean
while shivering down through my knees.
oh, what's happened to me?
spend all my times wandering
when you were there in front of me;
both sick of living in betweens
like rivers to a deep sea.
oh, what's happened to me?
we talk all night
torture our insides.
if we could step back a bit
and live up to all of it,
i know you'd stop asking
what's happened to me.
all this time
that i've wasted trying-
but let the records show that i,
that i looked far and wide for you.
throw all my thoughts forest deep
and watch all the trees evergreen.
if i had a way, i would cup your face
in hopes you'd look at me the same
because you'd know what's happened to me.

a better sea
03:56

see it in your face that you're wrong
it sits in the cold basement of your home
in your head, you've won
but in this case, you're alone
there were photos on the walls
of when we were running for our lives
in every frame, i'm gone
i use to feel the weight of love
because i was the one to carry it all.
hands weigh on my shoulders
and all i can feel is the temper;
forces i can't reckon with.
i use to feel the weight of love
because i was the one to carry it all.
i was there when there was no one there
and i've been living this way too long
i start to feel the weight of the world,
it's on my shoulders and it's just fucking wrong.

last lines
04:16
|
|||
it's a bit of a problem;
you don't know a thing about me.
it's not that i solved it,
it's just that i'm giving up.
on our way out,
i'll say it again
i will come out when i feel that i am ready,
i might make you wait until you hate me.
we're all of these sleepless nights
we all eat ourselves alive
but it's all part of stories
that only come out at night
and in the last lines
i'll say it again.
i will come out when i feel that i am ready,
i might make you wait until you hate me.
we're all of these sleepless nights
we all eat ourselves alive
but it's all part of stories
and these are our last lines
in our last lines,
I'll say it again
i will come out when i feel that i am ready,
i might make you wait until you hate me.

i left all my friends at home
just to find some space to be alone
violent in my sentiment,
there's no sense in it,
it just makes holes
i wage wars inside myself
like there's no one else,
defenseless.
i break my own tired heart
and that is all i am left with
so i give up.
(it's something we believe but we don't know a thing about
and i'm learning brand new patience while we figure it out)

father said
02:44
|
|||
i fell into love
i didn't know what was coming
i'd always followed your footsteps and their echoes
i read every page
and it said all the things it should say
but i still doubt your ways
in this hell so i'll hold my own place
father, he hold me so
but it was so damn long ago
he said, "sometimes the rain, it falls,
but sometimes it's not from the sky at all"
so i said, "hey, please stay.
i said all the thing i should say."
but he just held his head
up to the bird instead
oh, i don't mind;
i'm on my own and it's fine.
i have to figure this out on my own.

count the steps
02:32
|
|||
waste your body through the day,
walk for miles in your head.
you said you were always alone inside
but i never knew what you meant.
keep your hand in hers,
she gives you what you need at night,
but once she rolls and closes her eyes,
do you feel okay? does it even seem right?
oh, oh, oh.
so, count the steps until i explode;
a million pieces for the birds
and when they come to gather me up
will you even be there?
