Come to find out that the ones you’re the closest to
Aren’t concerned about your life but keep tabs on you
All Along there were these traces of a passing friend
I should’ve seen it when you started ignoring me again
Get some rest and close your eyes look so damn drained
In the backseat of your car you sit and can’t be contained
As the evening came you thought back to that day
When everything felt so familiar
Everything felt so familiar
Change
I never wanted anything
Anymore change
I think I'll drown
It's 4 in the morning
The roads are covered in ice
As we arrived in Montauk
You let me know we survived
Freezing hands and nose
My eyes are ice and you’re the snow
Why can't we ever go on
Shed your grief like skin sheds rain
Something's not right something's not right
I’m a river running into an unknown sea
Why cant we ever go on
The light in your eyes is gone
It hasn’t been there in sometime
We live our lives as one
Come to find out that the ones you’re the closest to
Aren’t concerned about your life but keep tabs on you
All Along there were these traces of a passing friend
I should’ve seen it when you started ignoring me again

I'm lovesick,you're desperate,makes my head spin
you'll regret this; your decisions and acquisitions
I question your intentions,your positions
I'm lifeless, you're selfless, filled with remiss
I feel sick, to my stomach, makes my head spin
make my head spin
Stop staring at me
just say what you mean
don't toy with me
Just say what you mean
Stop staring at me, just come clean
don't dwell on things, she says to me
stop staring at things, talk to me
I lost my nerve
I'm love sick, you're desperate, makes my head spin
Make my head spin

Don't Pity Me

The mutt fetches the stick when it's thrown
it moves with the wind, gets lost in time
the things that you love get pushed to the side
you forget where your passions lie
With love, comes pride, don't cower from fear
I won't let shadows, cross over my path
i won't be the one, to give into the void
i will not become, who you want me to be
Society, cast your judgments at me
It's hard to live in a world filled with apathy, no empathy, don't pity me
Don't pity me
The things that you loved, get pushed to the side
you forget where your passions lie.

You've been trying, you've been trying so hard
to keep, your feelings at bay
I'm just tired, I'm over it all
throw in the towel, call it a draw
You've been crying, you've been crying for days
you beg that I just go away
the leaves are dying, I'm still trying
I'm not who you think I am
I'm a drawing in the sand
erase me with your fragile hands
I'm a picture drawn in sand
You can't fake a smile when you walk through the door
You say: "every things fine," then I resent you more

I'd rather be on my own then fight with you on the phone
you're telling me that I'm wrong, I'm telling you that I'm done
I followed your footsteps they led me to dead ends
I'm asking for progress, all you've shown is regress
I'd rather be on my own, then let this resentment grow
Your colors start to show when you're not stuck in a mold
Well I know every word to your favorite song
It's soft and it's sweet, a simple melody
I'd rather get fucking stoned, then hear you bitch on the phone
You're telling me that I'm wrong, I'm telling you that I'm done
I'm telling you that I'm done (you're telling me that I'm wrong)
I'm telling you that you're dumb (you're telling me that you're done)
I'm telling you that you're wrong (you're telling me that I'm dumb)
I'm telling you that I'm done.
My fears become rational, when I get hit close to home, the feeling shakes all my bones, the fear of being alone.
My fear become rational (I can't control my feelings)
when I get his close to home (I can't control my shaking)
The feeling shakes all my bones (I'm numb from head to toe)
This fear of being alone

Don't be afraid
Idle hands are the devil's playpen
you've never been one afraid of sin
You took upon to him innocently
He took advantage of your insecurities
I tied weight to his wrists and feet, let him sink to the bottom of the sea
He'll never hurt you again, Don't be afraid
