Maybe Always

Maybe always
If I stand up straight
Carry us along
I can be fun
If I don’t think too much
Cut my brain off
No more receptors
Objection, Conjecture
It’s making me sick
Just thinking about it
Words I regret
All the space in my head
And I can’t work it out.
No, I can't work it out.

Down
04:34
|
|

|
I’ve been down many times before
But this time felt like something else
No one prepared me for a life where my
Mind turned against me and I fell
Can I trust myself?
Maybe soon I’ll shake this darkness
Come out on the other side
Am I friends with you?
Or do I just want someone
To pick me up when I’m feeling blue?
Transitional phase
Count the days
Till I feel brand new
Emotional weight
Fugue state
None of it matters now
If I can’t trust myself

Maybe Sometimes

|

Maybe sometimes
Others not so much
Find myself slipping
Down this water slide
But it’s never a good time
When it’s over
Stand up in the pool
Look around and make
Eyes with everyone
God I wish that this were fun
Honestly you knew we were
Doomed right from the start
A year went by and in the end
You broke my heart
There is something easy
About living your life
Without the weight of
Loving someone right

Better

I haven’t felt much like myself lately
No I haven’t felt much of anything at all
Maybe it’s the weather
Maybe I’ll feel better
If I spend some time alone
And I haven’t checked in on my friends lately
No I haven’t given them a thought
My selfish tendencies
It all revolves around me
If I could just give myself up
Lobes of my brain
Pulled from the cortex
Now I find myself
In a Cerebral Vortex
Forget what all this means
My brain spilled out last week
And it’s all just a lie
And I haven’t felt much like myself lately
No I haven’t felt much of anything at all
Maybe it’s the weather
Maybe I’ll feel better
If I spend some time alone
And I haven’t felt much like myself...

A Lot
01:58
|
|
||
|
I get lost
With every new direction
Lose my thoughts
Like they never existed
And I can’t spare the time
And I can’t work this out
|

Enough
02:34
|
|
||
|
Could you just pick up the phone?
Spending all this time alone
Reticent and hesitant
Line is dead but I’m still listening
None of this makes any sense
Drowning in my lack of confidence
I know I can be a lot
Let’s just spent some time apart
Making up for lost time
With one I’ve never known
Maybe I should take up listening
Maybe I should shut my mouth
And all this bullshit
I think I’ve had enough
Is it a slight on my character
If I just give up?
It’s always something or nothing
Not much in between
Wracked by indecision
Of who I want to be
All this bullshit
I think I’ve had enough

Part Of Life
03:48
|
|

|
Another part of life
Picked you up and dropped you down
Thirty-odd years old
Face down on the ground
Wandering around
Somewhere in the clouds
Make yourself at home
But don’t look down
Don’t look down
No one ever called you, saw you in a certain way
Told your friends you’d be there but don’t show up today
No one ever made you feel
Good about yourself
And I should have called you, saw you in a certain way
Asked if I could help keep those demons away
No one ever made you feel
Good about yourself

Pillar Of Light
02:35
|
|

|
You lit the room up like forever and ever amen
And I'm on my knees saying I'm sorry
I'll be better, I promise to better myself
Pick yourself up, leave the pieces on the ground
Am I the anchor? You holding me up?
Second guesses leave me nervous and shattered
Don't overthink it, I guess you're right
I have to hand it to you, my pillar of light
Save the feeling, it won't last forever
Keep a firm grip, but not too tight
Put you on the altar, will that make it right?
Can't be too careful now, my pillar of light

Love Song
02:08
|
|

|
Maybe I could write a love song
Maybe you could write one too
We could play them at the same time
Just to see if they’re in tune
And I don’t know why I lay awake at night
Knowing I can’t make sense of everything in life
Woke up feeling kinda lonesome
Has another day gone by
Blessed with one whole life to myself
Will I make use of the time?
And I get stressed out and think I’m going to die
But then you come remind me of a better part of life

Mapquest

Lost the last page of the Mapquest directions
Can’t find your house I’m at some gas station
Could ya give me a landmark?
Is it by a big tree?
And I can’t let myself fall asleep
‘Cause I don’t want to miss out on anything
It takes a while just to get back on your feet
When you called me I was struggling
To put the myself together and stop my spiraling
It’ll take some time to process what I’m feeling
And I can’t let myself fall asleep
‘Cause I don’t want to miss out on anything
