Spatial Differences

You stood beside me I had everything I need
You walked away you wouldn’t let me speak the words i need to say
Broke down but lived to see the day
But there’s too much to leave unsaid
You wanted everything I had
And I promised I would give it all away
You wanted more than I could give
Now I’ve got something I want to say to you
It’s dark I’m alone haven’t figured it out
The anger the sadness the fear and the doubt
Try and fail repeat wipe the dirt off and then
Jump in head first start again cleanse the mind and repent
Spatial differences
They’re too much
Where do we go now?

Toxic Overpass

I can’t take this drive anymore
I try so hard but when I walk
I walk right through the door
Well I shake, shake, shake with a little anger
Try, and I try to get over it
When I drive, when I drive in the other direction
I’m at the edge
I wait
Until I find
A way
I come back but
I’m late
Over that pass again I’m lost inside the haze
I try
To get back as
I wait
I come back but
I’m late
That toxic overpass I lose control
When I go, go, go
Reaching for a direction
Try and I try to get over it
But I just can’t see a way
Away from all this distance
I reconcile what I can’t believe in
I think about it but I can’t let go
I think about it but I don’t repeat it
Falling on my sword
To make it home, to carry on
I think about it but I won’t repeat it
This drive is driving me away
This drive is tearing us apart
I wait
Until I find a way
I come back but
I’m late
Over that pass again I’m lost inside it
I try to get back as I
I get lost as I go
One thing I need the most is
Help from you to make it home

Here we go again
You know we're waiting for an answer
We've seen the lines, we've seen the lies
It's gone too far
Contemplate your last decision
Is it your everything?
And how much can you take?
Give it back
Painted black
Promise me that you won't go too far
A look back on a lifetime
Of the things you'll never see
Demarcations on the years
The things that you will never be
Signals missed and lost in time
Is this perfection?
Or is it just the end?
Give it back
Painted black
Promise me that you won't go too far
Those signals missed and lost in time
You told me everything is alright
This could be the night it goes too far

So Proud Of Your Failure
03:01

Snap judgment, color me
Walk onward, you're not free
Held back by circumstances
On and on it goes
Inscription, set in stone
Insipid, set the tone
Control through coded language
On and on it goes - for what?
You see it everywhere
So proud of your failure
Smug faces walking through the halls
Tall statues garnering applause
Content relegation
On and on it goes
Day in, day out, work and compete
They grind you down, mission complete
Done and left with nothing
On and on it goes - so what?
Did you ever think of leaving it for something else?
Hold on as you go on
And that feeling melts away
Separate yourself from everything
Until you disengage
This is all I know
This is all I see
This is all I hear
This is all we'll ever be
(You failed, you failed, you failed again - you lied to us)
We could be the next to stall
We're next in line to lose it all
As you get set up for the fall
The hurt, the lie, the numbing pain
Your hands played right into their game
Hollowed out of existence
On and on it goes
Pushed out, pushed back until you break
You go dark as they celebrate
Broken and defeated
On and on it goes

Wishful thinking
It always gets the best things every time
Twisting everything done wrong
Until it seems just seems right
Watch it take over and
Know it's not worth knowing what we know
And just let it go
It's time to find out what it means to grow
We see it, feel it, we don't want to know
We take it all in stride until we lose it all
It's in the words we use as weapons on each other
Just one moment could have meant the difference
Between right now and where we are
But I don't find it hard to see
Innocence masked by misery
Where would we be
I'll feel it all again until I die
Your voice inside my head, your face at night
We take it all until there's nothing left to take
It's in the labels that we put upon each other's lives
Forever....we put them on forever
Changing hearts and changing minds
That story's getting old
It's the things that we defend
And the systems that we live in
You can ask what we've become but
I don't know what
We've become
Or where it goes from here
Don’t leave me alone
In the systems that we live in
'Cause if the system fails I might break down
And lose what’s left of me, and I’ve got no way home
So for now I’ll take a seat and rest my weary head
From these systems of control
Don’t Leave me
