Playback Know It All

The next step, you wouldn't decide
a playback know it all fall out
forget a side of comfort, I'll drink it straight
but can I breathe?

Nothing can complicate my compass
gothic golden statues so fake
maiden's dance free from soldiers
but why can't I breathe?

honestly we promised
if we keep comfort lost
a world of manic mayhem shatters
I'll always have the rain
It can suffocate my endless window stain

Jaded swirls of thicker soup
Loving falls deeper, free of running side
ways through my imaginary loop
a pool drowning baby float
a mess created heavenly breaths

Honestly we promised
If we keep comfort lost
a world of manic mayhem shatters
the running sound on window pain
a selfless child holding press release

Im gunna fall apart, impress second self
telling of truth sits alone on mantel shelf

I Told You So

All I've done is wait for this
You walk back into my life, did i have to wait

I can hide my sarcasm well

Apparently so can you

There is a gap between us, well 
is it clear to close
A wall was built to close you out
some how, I told you so, seems to click
when all i do is be a friend

a respect i thought was equal
i can go away and hurt, or stay and be hurt
cant you be the decider

Grow the .... up

We are just loosing a friendship

you are all grown up 
its called pride now swallow

you will see how quickly things change
I know im certainly not perfect

we can hold hands till we grow strong

but i know I'll want to let go

There is a gap between us, well 
is it clear to close
A wall was built to close you out
some how, I told you so, seems to click
when all i do is be a friend


A fight can last forever
its a battle of right and right 
I can scream as loud as you, but you can hit a larger hole
Or you can break the heart that loves you

I can give two choices 
leave and have an empty hole
Or change and make it better 
I cant take this any longer

There is a gap between us, well 
is it clear to close
A wall was built to close you out
some how I told you so seems to click
when all i do is be a friend

Time of Life

Im catching the end credits of a life so strange
cant we rewind to the beginning
where did I put the remote?
well i guess, its just the little things
I know i cant just sit and reminis my happy dreams
making things go forward its what im best at
it seems the things that have brought me here
are just crawling around
wanting me to fall

Its definatly not my choice to stay
but it is my choices that change my way
just waiting for my "time of life"
Im feeling short of stable
