sitting around

Sitting around
blankly staring at the stomping ground
I can see that no one wants me around
So I'm sitting around
with the things I said I'd never allow
this place speaks of you with every sound
left me sitting around
with these thoughts and all these scars to count
no one knows
no one cares
Coming around
you once said that I would make you proud
now I'm looking for a way back down
keeps me coming around
in so deep but know I never would drown
royal highness wears a broken crown
coming around
I would swear by things I can't say now
no one knows
no one cares
Waiting around
out the window is the tiniest cloud
from the fire grows and blocks the sun out
waiting around
I'll keep waiting til the flames go down
something tells me that you'll never touch ground
til then I'm sitting around

selfless

built a bridge by yourself
when you needed my help, I tucked in my tail
this is the worst kind of wealth
selling personals hells please
Now that I'm under your belt
all the cards I've been dealt go back in their deck
All of the things you could sell
run your own kiss and tell
these things I'll have to remember
not the right place, and not the right time
I'll try and understand
Keep the drawings and letters
not the right space and not the right rhyme
a shadow of a man
paint this picture yourself
for your own mental health, my ticket's been booked
I'm on a one way street now
with my eyes looking down
these things I'll have to remember
not the right place and not the right time
I'll try and understand
Sing the selfless endeavor
cooking me up and spitting me out
bounty on my head
or drown it out instead

boiling point

Every time I get back on track a little voice inside
says "you and I are so perfect, baby"
so I let it inside
each time a little part of me dies
Don't bring me down
Stick a smile on my face
your grip to help me through the days
Hypnotize me I need an excuse to feel alive
I used to have a world so wide
but who brings me down
Cause when you feel
what I feel
and you know
what I know
Let's make a deal
leave me alone
and I'll reveal what keeps me home
Heavy eyes that can't see you hiding in your toasted disguise
All these tries to control it
baby, you're a friend of mine
we're stitched at the hip and joint
I've reached my boiling point
