Mountains

This sorry excuse for a life that I’m leading
Is torture, it’s bleeding me dry.
The future is looming but I’m looking behind
I’m straining to see the end.
I can’t believe what I’ve seen in the past three years
All of the people I used to know they’re nothing
But phantoms of friends that I used to have
Where the hell did the time all go?
I buried my anguish to save myself from
The person I could have been.
I’m fucked up and broken but can’t deny that
I’m stronger because of the mountains I’ve had to climb.
Fuck your excuses they’re tired and useless
If you want my candour prepare to be answered
With all my frustrations, manipulations
Of words that I kept to myself and from everyone else.
Even if they pick up my trace I can still win the race if I settle for second place.
There’s a long road ahead through the hills that I tread and I’d rather just stay in bed.

Insomnia
03:20

I’ll burn out some day.
I’m searching high and low for
The solace I’ve come to expect
From sleeping in my own bed.
I’ve lost it somewhere in the
Fog of these last two months
I try too hard and think too much.
And can you tell by the look on my face
That I haven’t slept in the past three days?
Cause I’ve been constantly beating myself to the ground
And I can’t deal with losing you.
Oh sweet insomnia bring me some peace,
I know I’ll see her again in my dreams.
These tired eyes are just a sum of these nights where
I stay up too late I can’t concentrate on
My fears they’re corroding my heart and my mind
The holes that they’ve burned are the only things left behind.
I’ll dig myself into a hole again.
I’ll burn out someday, exhaust all my strength and collapse in a heap on the floor.
Cause I can’t keep reaching for something I can’t even see in my dreams anymore.

I kept my mouth shut and I’ve been trying to find the strength
But we’re on two different wavelengths
And I think that we’d be better off if you could find it within you
To let go, move on and move away.
So say what you will about me cause I’m not listening at all when you speak
Cause your voice just gets drowned out by the noise that it makes.
When the air in your head swells your ego instead
Cause this room is just a bit too small to fit your lies.
It’s your fault that I’m even here in the first place
You told me that I had to change, when I did you said I’m not the same.
I can’t comprehend you’re a so-called friend that I am
Leaving behind for the things that I hope to find.
(Things that I hope to find.)
So get up, get out, get over yourself and maybe one day you will realise
All the best things in your life have left you.
Wallow in all your regret because the saddest part of being alone
Is knowing that you ruined all of this on your own.

Temper
02:35
|

Vacant, left with the advent of those better days
That I thought I had captured.
And I know I’m talking in circles and painting us purple
I’ve learned to let go.
Because I’m dying on the inside, laying on my back again.
Trapped up in my own mind, splitting hairs to make amends.
If only I could see the future, tell myself how this all ends
And part with the frustration that my stifled temper sends.
I’m sick of making these bullshit excuses,
I’m not where I want to be and that’s on me
Redefining complacency.
Because I hurt with my head and I think with my heart
And I know that’s why I’ve fucked up from the start.
That’s the worst part.
So let me down again, tell me that it’s not my fault
(That you need your time and space.)
Tear me down again, leave me with this empty room.
A year’s gone and nothing’s changed.

Malcontent
04:30

I’m malcontent with your absence
And running desperately low on patience.
Dislodge the stones in my throat and I’ll try not to choke
I’ll simply suffocate from the tension.
You left behind such a bad taste and broke me in so many ways.
I can’t reassemble my concept of what I’m supposed to expect.
From the get go I know that I’m still so fucking mad
But I’m pushing it so far down.
Suppress all my sadness and look to move past this
Cause you’re just the ghost of the person I treasured most.
You shine like gold but crumble like tin in the cold.
You can’t stand up on your own but insist on being alone.
I’m sorry if I seem so distant and angry,
I’m doing my best to let go of the weight that I carry.
My composure is failing me now, my heart is six fucking feet underground
When you bury me don’t make a sound, tamp the dirt or I’ll dig my way out.
(My way out.)
