Waking up
Staying up
Saving up
Go with your gut
It’s your reflection
It’s looking back
It’s all perception
It’s your reflection
It’s looking back
It’s all perception
I’ve been taking some time off
And thinking about myself
Have
You
Ever thought about your thoughts?
Do
You
Only go by what you’ve been taught?
Take time for healing
Don't hold your feelings
Know yourself fully

Waiting
Hoping
Hiding
From what I lost
Chasing
What I don’t want
What did I do wrong
I could’ve been the one to
Fall short, time again
I could never stand
With feet made to trample
I’m running away
Holding
Back for
A time I knew
Never enough
I said it once before
I used a good example
Of what this could be
I could never stand
With feet made to trample
I’m running away

Wait for it
To fall in two
Wait for it
I know you're used
To it
Being true
I just can’t
Remember you
How do you live
Without the will to live
Wait for it
To fall in two
Wait for it
I know you're used
To it
Being true
I just can’t
Forget you
What do
You want
Me to be
A shadow
Of deficiency
What do
You want
Me to be
A dimly lit
Curiosity
Wake me up when it’s over
When the cold comes in slower
Maybe all that I wanted
Was for me to be older
Take these words as a lesson
Let it be a confession
Maybe all that I longed for
Was my destiny

A wise way to keep me in time
A wise way to make it in time
You want the news?
Oh I want you
It wasn’t long
Before you took off
Kicked dirt all on
The walls
A smart way to make it over
A smart way to start all over
You want the news?
Oh my beloved youth
Mistakes I’ve made shine through
Opting out opting in to lose
Taking all losing all of you
Now my only question
Why can’t I have it all?
2/3 of what it was before
Why can’t I make the call?
It’s not my place anymore

Looking through the eye
Oddly vacant skies
Torn into again
Circling
Back around
Whirlwind turns
Stomach aches
Precipitate
Wash away
Looking through the eye
Oddly vacant skies
No movement
For an instant
For sure
Still
Be still
Absolution
Endures
Sift
Sand sift
Intersection
Calm storm
I’ll sail if I want to
Hushed shores won’t recount the telling of this tale
I’ll sail if I want to
Hushed shores won’t recount the telling of this tale
I’ll sail if I want to
