A Life Abbreviated

I'll sleep over water, and exercise restraint
And I know that I oughta, bathe in wet paint
And I know that it's hurting, and the streets are insane
With the fuel that we're burning concealing the rain
When the sunlight it greets me and it sounds like it's cold
And I trust it completely 'cause it never gets old
And it flows like a river to the depths of our souls
And the cliff edges shiver off the morning snow
An onslaught of faces, and hands outstretched
Not a feeling between them, and we all know what's next
And I know that you need it, and I know that I don't
And it sounds like singing, through the pillars of smoke
When the sunlight it greets me and it sounds like it's cold
And I trust it completely 'cause it never gets old
And it flows like a river to the depths of our souls
And the cliff edges shiver off the morning snow
Wheels are down and I've come to life
Good to know I did something right
I'm aware that it's been some time, but it's here I've kept in mind

Not At Peace

Think I saw a sign, for once in my life
Think I read it right, for once in my life
Never take it light, only got this one life
Always set my sights, unreasonably high
Everything moves so fast, it feels like I’m falling
Living so far in the past, it feels like I’m stalling
If I knew what I wanted then I would go all in
When I’m still at last I’m stuck here calling
I know I’m not at peace, and I’ll never find release
Think I broke the law, and looked at the light, and I’m up all night
Saw the shifting skies, black holes were my eyes
When the ground is levelled, and the river runs dry
I’ll be here forever, and I’ll never ask why
So many bad ideas, I feel like I’m nothing
Stumbling through the years I feel like I’m rushing
If I could prove my worth, then they would come running
But here I am for now, stuck here mumbling
I know I’m not at peace, and I’ll never find release
Everybody’s running out of destiny
Everybody’s running out of empathy
Everybody’s running out of money
And nobody wants to invest in me

White Noise

Feeling like we’re running out of luck, and the room started spinning
Forever falling in and out of love with the places I exist in
Laughing like I’m putting on a front, it’s OK, I’m alright, it’s nothing.
Miles in the hundred racking up, and the city walls are crumbling
You know there’s nothing in the world I wouldn’t give
I’m running back in time to the place where you live
Leave the door open, I better make all my mistakes while. There’s still a chance in the world I can take
Screaming out “can you hear me through the White Noise?”
Living on an island in in a sea of a world infinite
I’m trying to paint a picture of a scene where you’re not in it
Laughing like I’m putting on a front, like we got a good thing going
Miles in the hundreds adding up, and never stopped snowing
You know there’s nothing in the world I wouldn’t give
I’m running back in time to the place where you live
Leave the door open, I better make all my mistakes while. There’s still a chance in the world I can take
Screaming out “can you hear me through the White Noise?”
And what is there to do, when suddenly it’s personal
Can’t help but feel responsible and that there is the worst of all
I had to learn the truth, didn’t want to feel disposable
Who knew that it would end up in writing out your name in the snow and there’s nothing in the world
You know there’s nothing in the world I wouldn’t give
I’m running back in time to the place where you live
Leave the door open, I better make all my mistakes while. There’s still a chance in the world I can take
Screaming out “can you hear me through the White Noise?”

Have you ever seen the skies change in a matter of seconds
Have you ever seen the waves break, all because of the tension
We’re washing up on the beaches now, with no sense of direction
It’s not where I planned on being, but I don’t know my intention
We’ll speak in the morning, whatever that means to you
But by the time you hear this, you’ve probably found out the truth
Just keep the car running, there’s something I know I must do
You sure you’re not up to something now, I’d stay quiet if I were you
