Time Stands Still

Time stands still
Time stands still
Do you remember
The day that we first kissed
I was bout to leave the train
When our sorrow eyes met this
Feeling that you won't miss
Rushing through your veins
It was about to last much longer
But then we both stepped away
And the whereabouts
Of love, space and time
You can't calculate
The feelings of a lonely mind
And then you stepped away
And then I stepped away
And time stands still again
And then you stepped away
And then I stepped away
And time stands still again
Things don't last so long
When you think about it
Maybe it's just a game
Or just straight up politics
We won't last forever
And so we face the truth
Oh, no no no no no
Life is just too--
Thinking about us not
Time is running out
Catched or not what is it about
Help me get along

Soft Smiles

Soft smiles will bring me home, will
You start to follow me when
My mind is starved
And the road is dark
Break soft the world is mine are
You free at any time, well
Found the day for you to cry and
Scream it all apart
A year ago today
When everything was great
When everything was great
A year ago today
When everything was great
Where are you going?
And can I come with?
Soft smiles will break my heart will
You break the same as I, and
Close the road that we have built and
That we broke apart
My mind has made it up, ooh
You to break the world I hoped for
Will you tear me out this dream and
Show me what it’s for
(instrumental)
A year ago today
When everything was great
When everything was great
A year ago today
When everything was great
Where are you going?
And can I come with?

Less than Human

Life comes at you fast
Before you know it, it's all passed, all past
Life is so much longer
When you didn't think you'd make it past 20
If wasting time's a crime
What do you do when it's outta your control?
Is that what you tell yourself
To not be held accountable?
Try and think back to the simpler days
Dazed and time bled, repeated instead
But you were never innocent, no, you realized long ago
That you'd soon be dead
(I wanna make things right)
I can't do anything right
(How can you set things straight)
When it's far, far too late
(I don't wanna be bitter)
Resent always eats at me
(I wanna get better)
I'm going nowhere and fast
I gazed, I'm grazed, unfazed
At the galloping peers, running for life dear
Bullets down the hall, two shot, two down
One young and beautiful, the other died vengeful
Calls made, parade, police charades
Tell me again again just why I'm here
Brother confessed in tears, "it feels like I'm not even human"
I didn't know enough at the time, but now? Now I'd tell him...
I'd say "You're wrong, you're so human that you wouldn't believe it,
and that horrific act was done by your fellow man"
Take me back to where I was, didn't realize the fact that time,
pain and horror only compound and gets worse, exponentially worse!
Kids can be cruel and bad
Terrorize each other and never think back
Until years later when you're up all night
Ashamed of yourself, can't ever make things right
(I wanna make things right)
I can't do anything right
(How can you set things straight)
When it's far, far too late
(I don't wanna be bitter)
Resent always eats at me
(I wanna get better)
I'm going nowhere and fast

Hope as a Drug
02:21

Whenever you feel low
And you don't know where to turn
Everyone leaves home in the end
Hope as a drug
Will bring me back to you
Your body spoke to you
Whenever you feel down
And you don't know what to do
Everyone's alone in the end
Whenever you feel low
And you don't know where to turn
Everyone leaves home in the end
Hope as a drug
Will bring me back to you
Your body spoke to you
Love as a crutch
Will keep me latched to you
Nobody spoke to you

I don't know
02:37

When you get close to death, things don't matter as much
All those risks you'd never take, the times you hesitate
Melt away in history
Moonphase tracking, always lacking to me
Looking for a new moon to see you better at night
But I really don't know
And neither do you
As you take your final breath, do you worry about
The way that you'll react,
when you're deep down in the mystery
Let a bird go, and rejoice by proxy
Things are so much greyer now that it's gone
But I really don't know
And neither do you
But I really don't know
And I'll never claim to

Castle Honey Baby
02:22

I live in a castle
Devoid of you
Can't stop thinking of all that could've been,
That should've been
Tapestry on my wall
Reminds me what's to come
Family crest from you
Means nothing now
I could blame you, society or everything
But at the end of the day
I'm in control of me
I'm in our castle, honey, baby
Distinctly devoid of you
Everything we built together
Means so much more now
Found a box of old letters
Picture of you and me together
Our highs and lows and fights and throes
That I thought I was over, but really I never
Did get to get over
The grasp you had on me, you
Had no idea what you were doing but you did it masterfully,
Flawlessly, and aimlessly
Living in a dream
Or a lie, or anything
You can't seem to get free
What does it mean to me
Fireflies and shooting stars
I remember them as we were counting them
Deceiving, dry, hopeless
When we were torn apart of whatever brought us together
I saw a dim light of what's to come
It was red, it was blood red and deceit
I was forced to rush out when the day was over
And I never wanted to look back
It still hurts me to this day
And I can never go back
Oh why would something happen like this?
I just want to be free
I'll kill our castle, honey, baby
The choice seems clear to me
To forgive and to try again
Or to fight and try to be free
