Defeated 03:31
oh, calamity these things I see are all I've ever known but introspectively and honestly I've found myself alone I've been looking for some guidance but it's hard to find when everybody's eyes are closed crash your car into my life you cut through me life a knife stealing every bit of pride shredding all I had inside but if I make it out and I'm still myself would you hold me back and tell me that you tried? I trapped myself in a world of my design holding on to petty apathy and grasping at the signs telling me there's not an answer here or anything inside there's no answer anywhere I only have myself to blame I've been losing the picture and the exposure has lost its shade if I follow the smoke trail I just might make it home there's a bitter taste to every blessing I have ever owned and it brings out a thought less proud I have lost my sense of worth though I still drag myself along but there's no solace in a second guess when I thought was wrong all the miles in the world and I'm stuck in a halfway house and I'm half way out I trapped myself in a world of my design holding on to petty apathy and grasping at the signs telling me there's not an answer here or anything inside there's no answer anywhere

Entropy 04:49
What’s the point of counting encounters with the past nostalgia has been gripping me I’m slipping under fast you have a strangle hold on words you won’t give back to me now I have to slowly learn that there’s no cure for this entropy I said goodbye and now I’m faking a philosophy and pretending that I’m right to move along while I’ve been tasting infidelity but she’s telling me to look inside and just remember that I wasted all my time professing love abusing yours instead of mine but we’re all shades of our resent trying not to slip again what’s the point of saying you made a big mistake I dreamed about you staying up until I stirred awake I have the slightest grip on all of me you let behind and I had to slowly learn a piece of you can’t be my peace of mind I said goodbye and now I’m faking a philosophy and pretending that I’m right to move along while I’ve been tasting infidelity but she’s telling me to look inside and just remember that I wasted all my time professing love abusing yours instead of mine but we’re all shades of our resent trying not to slip again I can’t see I can’t see at all and I don’t want to know where you’ve been or where you’re going

've been looking at myself and I can't reconcile who I am with what I am without I've been closing my eyes every time I felt a struggle Hoping I'd wonder back to places that I could see but I know that this person is all, all I'll ever be. I told myself that I'd be fine pretending I could live without an ending when I couldn't live you I wished I had a place where I could show myself I wouldn't disappear but no I couldn't find it here. I've been walking down a line that leads away from what I know I can't show myself this hell is home but I can't tell these regrets make it clear I can't find myself if I stay here I told myself that I'd be fine pretending I could live without an ending when I couldn't live you I wished I had a place where I could show myself I wouldn't disappear but no I couldn't find it here.

I Don't Need 02:30
I am living life in past-tense regrets Like all our days are secrets Or stoplights casting silhouettes But I can't see the distance between you and me Is somehow understood But the more there is the less I could Bring myself to see you Passing by on a busy street Wondering "where are you going?" And if you'd wonder about me But I I can't tell Where we're going I'm close to coming to an epiphany That doesn't involve you I keep on running From this empty place you're running to I can't stop myself from thinking Or make my eyes keep blinking When all my days are flying by But you couldn't take The hardest truth or cheapest fake I somehow understand That these broken ties can't hold my hands Held up in surround, but I haven't got a clue About which battles I should fight And which ones to leave to you But I I can't tell Where we're going I'm close to coming to an epiphany That doesn't involve you I keep on running From this empty place you're running to

I'm not crazy, I'm just searching for a chance to make amends I see your face in every place we've ever been I'm wishing that I'd find you here somehow But I know I won't Somewhere down the line I found a way to let you go And bury all we had in mounds of late September snow I can't describe the way I left your photographs untouched. I found your note pressed between the wall and the floorboard Somehow in prestine condition Among scraps of forgotten movie tickets and dust. And I thought it best not to read Because while the content may be forgotten You unfortunately are not. I left the store thinking of you and I drove by your house seventeen times pretending I was on my way home Your car wasn't there I shut off my engine the street In the parking lot where we shared our first kiss But I was alone
6.
Remember when I told you, "You always take the easy way out" I thought I'd let you know that If I found a meaning here, or any purpose anywhere I may have time to bicker over meaningless affairs But I'm still Somehow driving passed your house Hoping you'll come out And hardly recognize me I thought staring at your driveway It would somehow pull me in And find a way to make me whole again I had all these plans for you and me Now I can't tell what the object is Or how I'm supposed to be I heard you say That you can't find your way around it I'm astounded, you can't keep your face From showing you are trying too hard to go But I can't help you No, I can't help you Remember when you told me I'm always blowing smoke around? I figured I could show you I have faith that I'll find meaning You are certain I'm misleading But everybody else can understand The reasons I chose leaving I am somehow searching for your car But knowing where you are Is still too much for me I thought knowing you were lonely It would somehow make me grin And find a way to make me whole again I had all these plans for you and me Now I can't tell what the object is Or how I'm supposed to be I heard you say That you can't find your way around it I'm astounded, you can't keep your face From showing you are trying too hard to go But I can't help you
