I smell the temptations of everything I knew before
The taste of it lingers like salt on a wound that festers and cures
I dream up a way
I make up a type of confession that I could have saw
But there was no way
The crowd of dissenters take over and swallow me raw
But we were
Dancing in the rain at night
Sunset in my brain too bright
Shadows on the wall are calling
Beckoning the spirits darling
Everyone's a little cynical
Take apart just to burn it all
Open close fingers touching
Systematic who is watching?

That's So Crazy
03:08

I rolled out of bed, on the hardwood floor
Got dressed in a hurry, and I'm late to work
Cursing at all the alarms
I never set; in five minute increments
That's so crazy
I'm so zany
And I guess unlucky too
Circling back and again
I'm spinning across the surface tension
Where will I go, or where will I end
These thoughts they sleep within
The world just seems so bright
I'm blinded by the scorching light
Existential dread
Will it ever end
Ah-ah
I messed up again, and forgot the date
The electric cut off, and it's new year's day
Racing along, but I'm falling behind
There's no one to blame but
My stupid face
That's so crazy
Call me lazy
But I won't get up again, no
Drowning inside of my head
I've wondered what it does in my stead
Pull me in further to stop my own murder
Or learn to live again
If only it was, as it is
A puzzle left me sick and twisted
If this is my fate, to be alone
I wish to sing again
If only I had tried
Perhaps, I would've been just fine
Running from the truth
Is all I ever do, now
Too late to make amends
The bridge ahead has burned already
I can see the end
It's there
It's there
Circling back, here again
I'm running from my disaster, I said
Even if I am living a lie
My penance is to live
If all of these stars in the sky
They light up the night bit by bit
If I were to find my starlight shine
At least I'd be a guide
If all is lost again
Tell me, what is your perfect day?
Trade your tears to wish
For a brand new day, oh
It's not far as you think
I promise you, just do your best
It's not that crazy, now
I believe... in you

Purple Sunset

ocean wave
take me back
summer nights
laying under trees
leaves knowing i
could've been better than that
autumn flies
faster in my mind's eye
3 am used to be so magical
nightfall was a wonderful
dreamscape where stars come out to play
i wish i could return those pieces
my mind's a tangled in our forest
i wish i could return to that moment
back to the little simple things
and a purple sunset
winter comes
too rapidly to recognize
you and me
angels in the snow
warming freezing toes
paths we can’t control
but then the frost all thaws
and i try to find where it all was
that’s when i know there’s no way back
i wish i could return those pieces
my mind's a tangled in our forest
i wish i could return to that moment
back to the little simple things
and a purple sunset
oh they never tell you what you lost
until you’ve lost it
oh they never tell you what you found
until you’ve lost it
i heard that spring is coming
but i lost it
i thought i’d grow up better
oh they never tell you what you lost
until you’ve lost it
oh they never tell you what you found
until you’ve lost it
i heard that spring is coming
spring is coming
It’s coming
It’s coming
And I guess I’ll try to find it
So I’ll try my best to fix my pieces
(They never tell you when it’s lost)
My mind’s a mess but I can find it
(They never tell you when it’s found)
I know where to go now after all this
(They never tell you spring has come)
Back to the little simple things
(They never)
Back to the little simple things
(Spring has come)
And a purple sunset
Ocean wave
Take me back

maybe it's the walls around us
maybe it's the space between us
in the distance a voice is calling to start it all again
shadows of the world is burning
memories of the past returning
in the distance a voice is calling to start it all again
are you ready for love
are you ready for love
are you ready for life
could you start to live just as you should?
I take away all my designs
and put them against
the dissolvent, turbulent times
it seems that I've forgotten why
I'm still writing down with the ballpoint pen
letters read with the blood I've let
soaked in the rain
it's heavily pouring
I stay hoping that it stains
for me to re-collect
if only it could all re-verse
so my words could have a re-semblance
of what I used to re-member
a re-fraction of slighted times
where my fragmented mind re-organized
into neat straight lines
it's a re-introduction of a brand new I
re-cipricated through the function of a brand new lie
I tried to re-invent my life
re-orient my crime
and I re-gret that I
could not accept myself
I'm not ready for love
I'm not ready for love
(I’m not ready for)
and I know the world is full of powers to big to believe
(I wish upon a star to make my dreams be realized)
and in the end our story might not have more pages to write
but I lie
(I'm not ready for life)
could you learn to live just as you should?
how can I live outside this world?
