Sleep holds silent the failure as i caress neglect. wasted compassion on myself, my utmost concern.
I cant shed this skin, as time stands still to reveal ugliness. this is not how i imagined myself, so self absorbed with eyes sealed shut. surrounded by lies to protect myself. protect myself

The road is weighed down by the burden of a thousand different stories, none of which youll ever know as we each head in our own way.
And the light races by as we move through the rhythms and the patterns that make up our lives only to be repeated a million times, long after we have faded. a

SEAN: we are all pawns in this. it's not as simple as it appears at a glance. it would be so easy to push blame at one source. but many reivers lead to the ocean. the words we follow, and what we've forced to swallow down, is drowned in half-truths leaving many more questions than we started out

SEAN: for about three years i've showed myself to you. left the book open on pages no one had ever read. with every mile traveled the distance grew shorter as we lay eyes on strange places. i have learned to embrace my future not slice my fear away. this is what you taught me and it will last lo

SAL: can someone take this burden away from me while i gasp for air and wipe the footprints off my back only to reveal the pain i've caused her. is there something wrong with me? i don't want it anymore.
SEAN: it's been seven goddamn years and i'm still living with it. you'd think it would h

if we could only say what we really meant to them
I think we would all sleep a lot better.

if we could only

and you said that maybe someday. we will run into each other soon.
I hold onto threads that slip through my hands as this unravels right before my eyes. we chase our dreams and leave the now behind, this is all we have. these streets echo with memories that are not my own, and this is where

Cold needles tear quietly through this breath and i have yet to feel.
Soft whispers so as not to wake you from this rest and i try to grasp you're not coming back. this coldness has taken your place and we hold onto the tears and we hold tightly to these years. i search for a way to live wit

I never meant to hurt you i got lost in dreams, but please i couldnt bear to lose you.
I was there, i was alone, i was there and im never going back. stare at ceilings and run your hand against this wall to hold back your tears. i place my hand inside yours, it never felt this cold. i can st

You held this picture next to yours and cried, on the impossibility, you choked, and shield your eyes from the light. deny the truth to yourself, the mirror lies and you tear yourself apart.
You cannot fit this mold. you pray to change (and are answered with) silence. there is no recognition

She stands true to herself, the same person as always. yet you spoke phrases that ended in words like "forever." and i cant understand how this affects you.
I guess i'll never understand how this affects you. she stands true to herself and your afraid of what people say. or is it more than t

If I started again I could reconstruct and I think I could make the pieces fit.
I could stand from afar and nothing would be missing.
instead of staring at you all as if Im watching a movie, waiting for my character to make their triumphant ending, but Im still waiting, yes Im still wait

Stop and brace yourself because this is going to hurt, brick walls dont bend, (struck by) the realization that this road ends, ill hold my breath and wait for whatever it is that ill get in return for all my years of letting go.
I hope that its worth it. so forget about all of your "maybes"

They gave me a sense of security, but whats my purpose?
My life, it fades away . now im nothing. your money is not my life, this is my life and you can't take that away. you pay me, i can't grow numb, this is my life. (its not worth my time, its not worth my life) we are losing years off our

I think there was supposed to be some sort of affection, but you surrounded yourself with your self-indulgence, and i hid in shadows and learned to lose respect. through explanations and accusations
I watched you struggle with your conscience, but you have a knack for justifying yourself. yo
