playing dumb

i'm just tired of, tired of playing dumb
i'm too sick to shout, but they won't hear me out
nothing to defend, beginning to the end
i heard every word
and yes, you sound absurd
won't you please sit still, so i can take my pills
nothing left to find, now i've got only time
i need release, eager to please
all except myself i'll keep

pity party
04:08
|
|||
|
take me there, while we still can
and pretend wounds can really mend
i can't believe they say it’s still the same
something tells me i'm not far from insane
at least i'm not a part of the blame
it's like i've already lived before
i was numb
do my eyes look dimmer than before
i left my home for a boring
paycheck and a view
i don't need a pity party
to tell me anybody else
would crash just like i have
i don't know

daisies
05:10

|
my house burned down on vacation
no monument in its location
oh but i tried, oh but i tried
too hard
if i went back now it'd surprise me
how no one could still recognize me
it's only been, it's only been
a minute
i'm haunted by every mirror
i sold my eyes to see clearer
oh but i meant, oh but i meant
so well
i left my life for a new one
but that one still hasn't begun
the road to, road to heaven
runs through hell
claim there's a need for my hell
my life claimed in false time, false time
my reflection's gone from your eyes
sometimes takes time to surprise you
when you're still, oh when you're still
how slow
when i take to that highway
every inch is a shallow grave
and i wait, oh and i wait
for daisies
claim there's a need for my hell
my life claimed in false time, false time
claim there's a need for my hell
my life claimed in false time, false time

water
03:27
|

|
calm songs never keep me home long
i can never satisfy my tides
'cause it's gone, each and every peak on which
i used to perch when there was more than sky
i can't be another section of the family plot
i need release
'cause somehow, even with the floods drowned
i can only starve while you plan your feasts
too often i looked away in the summer
till nothing came at all
father, we led you to water
but you only begged for the heat to cease
i never meant to be a burden
so you made me out to be the beast
too often i looked away in the summer
till nothing came at all
too often i looked away in the summer
now i can't care at all
at all

couldn't
05:09
|
|||
|
i designed this life
with your pride in mind
you're free to deny
i'm more than a passerby
all the sentiments, all the battlements
all the pain and all the benefits
all the progress in the whole wide world
can never erase this
spring came, sting turned to ache
i gave less than you could take
a smile wide, a thousand fakes
the doorframe to the earthquake
you cannot admit
there was room to quit
did you think you couldn't?
did you think you couldn't?

cortisol
04:00
|
|||
|
so they say, better to have lost
than never loved at all
can't decide, which one is my crime
alibis can't take the fall
to your side, was i held or tied?
are you life or are you death?
cigarette smoking in your hand
i'm the cortisol in your breath

enemy
06:17
|
|||
|
rehearsed all my alibis
closer than my vital signs
a flower left to defend
oh, it won't come again
first my heart, then my head
can't hear the words that have been said
can't feel those eyes meeting mine
lost the vision, flying blind
wish i could say to my enemy,
"if you won't stop to believe in me
at least know that you are always mine
'cuz I still feel you from this side of my mind"
mind
(all i need) is all i see
behind this pane of modesty
instinct gifts the perfect crime
but i regret it's no longer mine
dig a grave to find a way
to cling to life, lengthen the day
automatic to the bone
with no home left to phone
wish i could say to my enemy,
"if you can't stop to believe in me
at least know that you're always mine
'cuz I still feel you from this side of my mind"
mind, mind, mind, mind

wine

seems now that I, I only drink wine
life’s left nothing else for me to find
i’ll never die, I’d never lie to you at least
more than myself, more than myself
every picture painted perfect
somehow still never worth it
i never try, how could I die for you when I’m
not sure I’m alive?
sure I’m alive..
not what I meant, if I had meant it
i’ve seen the end, where’s the beginning?
you plagiarize abusive eyes so that I can’t
see for myself, see for myself
