Obsession

What the hell is up with the obsession with the fall?
Pretended not to see your message or your call
You asked me what the hell is up with the obsession with the fall?
Pretended not to see your message or your call
I put new strings on the Tele but I barely even play it
I swear over time every lie became a mosaic and I
Framed the picture but I never hung it up though
Sometimes I wonder if I’m ever good enough though
The feeling’s cut throat
I ain’t lying I’ve been dying in defiance
I don’t ever want to try this again
I’ve been on my own time falling
I’ve been painting shadows in the sky
I wish I could control my thoughts when
Everything is shattered into white lies
But you hit me on the side
Told me everything is different in your life
I said that time flies
Just so I could fill the silence
Cause I couldn’t think of trying again
I've been on my own time stalling
Rearranging memories in vain
I wish I could disown my thoughts when
Disillusioned reveries are played out
I can’t make up an escape
I hate reality it patiently awaits
For when it rains out
Just to make a reappearance
And I hate I had to hear it again
I live inside of this portrait
Repainted lines are distorted
Retrace the past and ignore it
My thoughts have always been hectic
My words are thin and deceptive
You turned me into a skeptic

Skeptic
02:53
|
|||
I don’t know what to say now
I caught you falling on the way down
You tried to tell me you were overwhelmed, overwhelmed
But that’s a different state of mind
I saw you smoking on the back porch
You gave advice I never asked for
And it’d be one thing if you felt compelled, felt compelled
But that’s a different state of mind
I don’t believe anything, no
Not a single word you say
I don’t believe anything, no
Not a single word you say
I can’t believe that I let you say that
I lie awake and wish I could take back
Benefit of the doubt that I gave you
Every time, every time
But now that's no concern of mine
My friends convinced me that you were dead weight
I moved away and I got my head straight
I remember the nights of me trying to justify you being high
But now that's no concern of mine
I'm so conflicted about you
I grew up distant without you
I'm pessimistic and doubtful
But there were certain things I neglected
I learned to live and accept it
You turned me into a skeptic

78
04:54
|

I said I’ll take the long way home
It’s not an issue with my heart it’s just the aching in my bones
I said I’ll take the long way home
It’s only ten o’ clock at night and if there’s trouble I can call your phone
But I won’t
I’m alright
I’m alright now
And I can see the storm clouds grow
I drive a mile down the street and see the blizzard warnings glow
The sky begins to pour down snow
And I think back to your expression when you said you’d never let me go
But you did
It’s coming down like it’s ‘78 in Massachusetts
I see the circle I’m praying that I don’t crash into it
If Watch the World wasn’t playing I wouldn’t be asking you to stay
My head was reckless
You turned me into a skeptic
I get defensive like you wouldn’t believe
You should be careful throwing punches with your heart on your sleeve
It’s coming down like it’s ‘78 in Boston again
I’m lost in my head
I think I’ll call her again
We cut ties
It's probably for the better
Every time it's snowing out I feel a sense of dread inside
I can't hide
You'll be with me forever
I learned to brace for bad news with the overcast
We cut ties
It's probably for the better
Every time it's snowing out I feel a sense of dread inside
I can't hide
You'll be with me forever
I learned to brace for bad news with the overcast

Sea In Storm
03:54
|
|||
There’s an ocean that’s underneath my eyes
It lurks beneath
It curses me
Sometimes I feel like I’m blind
Feels like eternity
I wish I could go back
Innocent times
When I didn’t know that
Hell was a place in your mind
It changes form
Like the sea in storm
I can’t believe the force it hides
Patiently waiting for
A slight imperfection
Any mistake
It rises without a concern
For the lives that it takes
There’s lightning on the water and the sky looks cold
The kind of feeling when you’re insignificant and exposed
Clouds above me look like pitch black smoke
I feel the rising sea inside of me I slide beneath and I choke
On every word I hate
My eternal grave
Sometimes I feel like I’m tied
Deep beneath the waves
My body’s sinking now
My hands are bound
I start to think about
How many times can I drown?
I’m rotting on the inside I’ve been
Suffocating in my silent doubts
I hate the words that you left with
I kept the curse you neglected
You turned me into a skeptic
There’s something watching over me
I hate the feeling of it
I hear it breathe
Beneath the vacant sunken sea
It never sleeps
But I’m always dreaming of it
Whispers to me all of my favorite deceits
It's watching me die
I'm in the thick of it
I never admitted it
Disregarded every sign
I take my final breath
I think of my regrets
They came back to life

Constant Sorrow
03:36
|
|||
You called me from the car last night when you drove back
I fell apart inside but you know that
Not every star shines bright in the cold black sky
I’ve felt my lights dim slow as the years past
Your voice is radiant I'm laden with the fear that
When our conversation ends I'm vacant as the clear black sky
I swear my head will be the death of me
I hate the person that I was
I hope that I'm someone different
Insecurities rise up
They tell me I'm unrealistic
I live with my eyes shut
That's something I've come to grips with now
I still hear the words that you told me
The cause of my constant sorrow
I'm fading out slowly
I'm here but I'm gone tomorrow
The words that I wrote seem
Like bleak predictions if I don't fix this now
I'll swear I'll try to fix it
I picked up my guitar last night
I played Adam's Song
I thought that I knew the riff on the bridge but I still had it wrong
I'm lost in my head but nothing you said has me kept me up at night for so long
I drown out these headaches every night
So everything is fine
Not sure if that's considered progress or I'm just covering my eyes
But I know
You turned me into skeptic
Once I'm recovered and rested
I won't waste the life that I'm left with
I swear my head won't be the death of me

Telescope
02:03

My head’s turned sideways
Speeding up the highway
My eye’s fade
I swear I saw a UFO in the sky
You made me fear rejection
I still hope your spirit’s resting
I pull off the nearest exit
I wish I saw a UFO in the sky
You turned me into a skeptic

UFOs in the Sky
04:06
|
|||
Every night I see your bloodshot eyes
As clear as I ever did
Clouded by sentiment
I swear I never meant
To cut those ties
I was distant and reticent
You were selfish and hesitant to change
But sometimes when I paint my life
I shade in a black and white past
Leave out the shadows I cast
I only tried to find a place to hide
Instead of helping you survive
Another night of feeling like my head’s turned sideways
Speeding up the highway, I feel my eyes fade
I swear I saw a UFO in the sky
Kept blind faith, through every tirade
Cause you were high all the time
And I never tried to make things right
You made me fear rejection
I still hope your spirit’s resting
I pull off the nearest exit
I wish I saw a UFO in the sky
You turned me into a skeptic
I wasn’t home when you wrecked it
I should’ve known to expect it
I feel like I failed
I still have a voicemail saved you left me
Time heals
Everything but your pale face still gets me
Outside from the shelter that I built
Brings back to life all the remembrance I killed
Revisits the cynical decisions that I still hate
Yet I still made
Another night of feeling like my head’s turned sideways
Speeding up the highway, I feel my eyes fade
I swear I saw a UFO in the sky
Kept blind faith, through every tirade
Cause you were high all the time
And I never tried to make things right
You made me fear rejection
I still hope your spirit’s resting
I pull off the nearest exit
I wish I saw a UFO in the sky
You turned me into a skeptic
Your vision blurred your perspective
I should’ve learned to accept to it
Another night of feeling like my head’s turned sideways
Speeding up the highway, I feel my eyes fade
I swear I saw a UFO in the sky
Kept blind faith, through every tirade
Cause you were high all the time
And I never tried to make things right
You made me fear rejection
I still hope your spirit’s resting
I pull off the nearest exit
I wish I saw a UFO in the sky
I can't deny what you lived through
I wasn't close enough with you
I hope you know that I miss you
