Synchronicity plagues my sleep
I don't like the city because it's too loud
I've been dying to go to sleep, forced into a dream
where the group replaces sky and i'm upside down
And at the first sense of conflict I look right down at my feet when I start to speak
And I tiptoe around with my words so I don't seem so mean
Sometimes i'd rather use my fist instead
But I'll just use my words
Isolation brings me to my room
I stare at the wall and say "things need to change"
Ironically I pray up to a god
That I don't believe in because i haven't seen it's face
And at the first sense of conflict I look right down at my feet when I start to speak
And I tiptoe around with my words so I don't seem so mean
Sometimes i'd rather use my fist instead
But I'll just use my words

Why do I think no one likes me?
Everyone hates me
At least that's what I believe
That's what they tell me
Or that's what I take from the conversations
It's such a tragedy
If i never open my mouth
and i never open that door
Nothing bad with ever happen
And I know it's safer
Words are glitter and I am just glue
Glue that just sits and never dries to
Hold anything together that's true
Words are glitter and I am just glue
And I had a rubber-band like a gun in my hand
I'm ready to shoot, but i'll just hold it in
This loaded gun could back fire and then i'll be dead
This will work out, it better work out, i'll make it work out
But until then i'll fabricate the arguments and replay them in my head
Words are glitter and I am just glue
Glue that just sits and never dries to
Hold anything together that's true
Words are glitter and I am just glue

Lips

I can see my baby coming down the hall
All I can see is her red lips
I can hear her high heels clicking on the floor
I want to hold her at her hips
Sometimes we don't make plans but we get all dressed up
She makes them bright, her red lips
We both wear black because it's easier than white
All the color have been put aside
But at least our lips are red next week we'll give it another try
Once we with the couch we call it a night
We used to settle for only wild times
Our lips were the same color
We used to settle for only wild times
More broke than ever we cant party on
I see her once every couple of days
Because i'm always away
She is so patient and she is so kind
She calls me hers and I call her mine
We used to settle for only wild times
Our lips were the same color
We used to settle for only wild times
More broke than ever we cant party on

Burning

A flowers petals fall just like the rain
A house lights flicker off just like the pain
And I can still see my face in that shattered mirror
And it's burning
And I can't turn away
The blood is spilling out
And I can't turn away
This is distress and doubt
The carousel spins round just like the world
I guess it has value like a string of pearls
The carnival that is my life seems out of control
It's not what you expected it’s not what you know
And I can't turn away
The blood is spilling out
And I can't turn away
This is distress and doubt
A flowers petals fall just like the rain
A house lights flicker off just like the pain
And I can still see my face in that shattered mirror
And it's burning

The scares that are left behind tell no lies about your life
It's not a mystery, it's a puzzle with a thousand pieces
you have to connect the lines to find the deeper meaning
As I sit here awake lightning cracks above
And it reminds me of love how the particles interact with each other
We hold on tight
We don't tend to fight
Sometimes we might contradict one another
An animal decides to take it's time to die
The scares that are left behind tell no lies about your life
It's not a mystery, it's a puzzle with a thousand pieces
you have to connect the lines to find the deeper meaning
The river will flow, loved ones will move on and tell all the tales of when you were young
We went outside into the storm underneath the tree lichtenberg figures formed at our feet
An animal decides to take it's time to die

Grass

I've been laying low trying to find myself again
To find a new home and a new reason to live
And I've got a job I go to school on Friday nights
And i'm still waiting for you to come back into my life.
I've been going back to a mindset that scares me half to death
And it reminds me of the city that I left
It's a small place where the grass is dry and it never rains
And there’s no green just shades of black brown blue and gray
I've been trying to find a new way to love who I am and to know when i’m stuck
I've been trying to find a new way to feel about myself and to discover if its real

Under my skin there is a being who's dying to get out and let the light in
Under my skin there is a feeling of a beat that's pulsing and it gets my blood pumping
Under my skin I get a feeling of a certain tingling when I hear a certain music
Under my skin I get a feeling of my hairs raising when you exhale certain phrasing
We'll all find hope in words written down and sung along to and played over certain sounds
Under my skin I get a feeling my muscles relaxing and my shoulders sinking
Under my skin I get a feeling of my heart expanding and the flooding of my tear ducts
We'll all find hope in words written down and sung along to and played over certain sounds
