It’s time to learn to say no
Hang up those wings and pack up that halo
Pack your bags and go
Show ‘em what you’ve got, take control
I know it takes a toll
The ball’s in you court, so take a free throw
Don’t wait for the say to take your play, you know your role
Take it day by day, don’t be slow
Stagnancy makes it feel so vacant
Perfection, you can’t attain it
Nauseated on an empty stomach
Is this routine even worth it?
Swallow a pill to gain focus
Forty milligrams will do, but notice
There’s still time, don’t lose control
You’ll lose your mind and sell your soul.
There’s the green light; go
Time for you to take control.
You know you’re not alone,
No more waiting for what you’ve known.
The future’s fastest
Time to turn your back to the past tense
Ball your hand up into a big fist
Put it in the air and don't miss this.
Stagnancy makes it feel so vacant
Perfection, you can’t attain it
Nauseated on an empty stomach
Is this routine even worth it?
Swallow a pill to gain focus
Forty milligrams will do, but notice
There’s still time, don’t lose control
You’ll lose your mind and sell your soul.

Take Time

Not quite sure who you are
In due time you’ll find out
It's time to circle what you may need
You're past due to cross out what you can now
Feel like I'm crazy
You feel it too.
Can't take this lately
It's just the truth.
I feel so damn lazy
It's not new to me, don't know about you.
I don’t know what’s gotten in to me,
But it’s no way to be.
Good things take time or so they say
Play the game, take it day by day.
Think it’s about that time
For me to cross this line.
You want to be alright
This is a sign.
I know you don’t think I’m crazy
Trust me I’m not amazing.
I don;t wanna hear this,
You’re not gonna think straight
This isn’t a reason
Put me in my place now.
I just wanna be alone,
But don’t know how to say it.
I don’t know what’s gotten in to me
But it’s no way to be.
Good things take time or so they say.
Play the game, take it day by day.

Passion doesn’t run through your blood,
But it’s what you need.
Your heart beats, but doesn’t carry the love
Leaving empty veins.
Start to see clearly
What’s gone wrong here.
I’m inching nearer
I see the signs, about to flat line.
We’ll see where this goes
Only time will tell.
The rate slows and it shows
This is set up to fail
Can’t shake this sense of fear,
Seems like it’s time to steer clear.
What can I say?
This was unexpected for me
I know you can’t see through this but,
Motivations low, it’s not a priority
You think this will change, but it won’t.
Passion doesn’t run through your blood,
But it’s what you need.
Your heart beats, but doesn’t carry the love
Leaving empty veins.
Start to see clearly
What’s gone wrong here.
I’m inching nearer
I see the signs, about to flat line.
I don’t want to betray you
This is just the rate my heart beats now.
I will have dismayed you,
Which will cause my heart to speed up.
It stutters when I hear those words that have zero
Impact, it’s a fact, they don’t make me react
The way that I should be,
Or at least that I could be
Time to clear my mind
Unclog this fucking artery.
Passion doesn’t run through your blood,
But it’s what you need.
Your heart beats, but doesn’t carry the love
Leaving empty veins.
Start to see clearly
What’s gone wrong here.
I’m inching nearer
I see the signs, about to flat line.

Temporary I

Six A.M. on a Monday morning
Welcoming a new week.
If there's a higher power out there,
What're they trying to tell me?
Cherish what you've got, while you've got it
There's no such thing as safety.
It'll all be taken away,
Everything is temporary.
This building's burning at a rate that's concerning
Everything in my life is twisting and turning.
As the smoke fills my lungs, I am yearning
To learn and reflect on this constant journey.
Everything's hitting all at once,
It's like the walls are caving in.
Even though the floor is dry,
The flood water's settling.
It's not supposed to rain inside,
But I guess this is my life.
Cleaning up another mess,
Just to save all that I have left.
Finally open my eyes and although it comes as no surprise
There's a lot that I need to fix
As long as I can just focus.

Instincts

Must trust your instincts
Or you won’t get anywhere
Look for the silver lining,
And take your share.
Remain selfless in this selfish game Play the cards that you’re dealt,
Do it your way.
I don’t think I know where to go, waiting for my head to explode.
In due time with the right insight
When I’m in my prime, I’ll let you know.
Deep breaths, gotta take it slow.
My rib cage about to implode.
Cropped out, not a drop out
Can’ be stopped now, it’s my time to go.
Time to separate if you’ve never cared
Leave it all behind,
Won't get you anywhere.
Contrasting your emotions,
Patience, and keep your focus.
It’s not worth discontentment.
Believe in the everafter.
Time to make sacrifices
Or you won't get anywhere.
Your turn to supervise
And take take your share.
Chin up, there’s not such thing
As growing old.
Future’s a gleaming star,
Let the light enfold.
Time to separate if you’ve never cared
Leave it all behind,
Won't get you anywhere.
Contrasting your emotions,
Patience, and keep your focus.
It’s not worth discontentment.
Believe in the everafter.
Must trust your instincts
Or you won’t get anywhere
Look for the silver lining

Temporary II

It's time for the rebuild,
So I soak up the water, the room's filled
Like the thoughts of regret in my head,
As I said, I feel dead
Cuz my soul has been killed.
I don't want to hear, I start tearing
Cuz I'm fearing of the nearing, disappearing things I have left
But the cheering of the weary steers me clear of the feelings
I have my hopes and my dreams left.
Six A.M. on a Monday morning
Welcoming a new week.
If there's a higher power out there,
What're they trying to tell me?
Cherish what you've got, while you've got it
There's no such thing as safety.
It'll all be taken away,
Everything is temporary.

No More Fear
03:17

I don’t want to be afraid
To say the thing I want to say
I don't think it’s fair
That I have to bite my tongue.
It just doesn’t seem fair
To have to apologize.
But I’ll say I’m sorry
If it makes you happy.
Am I really sorry?
I just think you feel ashamed
To be with me, but who’s to say?
It just doesn’t seem like
You want to be in love.
I just kind of feel afraid
Is this the price I have to pay?
It just feels wrong,
To have to apologize
But I’ll say I’m sorry
If it makes you happy.
I’m not really sorry
Nevermind.
