Wasting away
Start of the day
And I couldn’t shake the sight of myself all along
I could always stop.
Who needs another reason?
The memory still begs of you
But I could never stop
And I could never stop

Make Amends

Well it’s only been a week, and time is moving slowly
like the hours in the night.
I said it once before, but my mind speaks it freely
I’m way too tired to fight.
And you said to me your “life is overwhelming”,
What is mine?
So I try to sever ties, but my spine won’t align
The truth will set you free.
But I’d rather make amends, than to sing fake amens,
The truth belongs to me.
And you said to me your “life is overwhelming”,
what is mine?
Well I only want what’s mine, but time ain’t on my side.
Well I only want what’s mine, so I can say “I tried”.

Is it up to me? It’s hard to believe in what I’m saying.
It’s hard to stand on ground that never stops moving.
Can’t you understand? I’m doing all I can.
It’s just a time to be alive
Is that your voice? It’s getting hard to hear,
but I’m giving all I have to give.
Is it up to me? It’s hard to believe in what I’m saying.
Is it up to me? Is it all it could be? Is it up to me?
Maybe I would, If i still can.
Maybe I should, but that don’t mean too much.
It’s all that I’ve got.
Can’t you understand? I’m doing all I can.
It’s just a time to be alive
Is that your voice? I hear it loud and clear.
I’m giving all I have to give.

Hi Anxiety

It’s out of reach, the dreams I had when I was young and dumb.
A part of me says “I’m ashamed of what I have become”,
I feel numb.
You say to me that “we’re just making time until we die”,
though I disagree.
But I believe that you and me should catch our breath and sigh.
Say hi to me, anxiety.
They’re out of reach, the dreams I had when I was young.
Then I had realized all along that dreams were never meant to come,
but that’s a part of life.
Say hi to me, anxiety
“Hi, Anxiety."
