Woken Up 02:46
yesterday I woke up and I found and I found that I could not get up this was impossible and I didn’t know why when I tried my feet were covered in a heavy thing that would not let in and while I waited I was crying to get out and then something came calling with a voice so loud it shook my heart and everything around me crashed down and I fell I fell apart cause I’m living in this world whether you like it or not and I was dreaming for a while but now I feel it now I feel it and I have woken up now the voice keeps talking to me and I walk daily in my broken neck I tell it I am ready and I know that it listens that it listens to me

Oval 02:18
I’ve been tired of late I can’t sleep too much yeah, sleep’s on my mind but so is she and I can’t find the time for both of them all that keeps walking through my head is the thought of her as I lie in bed and the love she gave is a love I won’t forgive hallelujah I’ve been sleeping in late and I don’t want to wake up cause her voice is in the night and I’m afraid that if I wake up I might not hear her again all that keeps talking in my head are the words the two of us have said and the love we gave is a love that I’ll regret hallelujah all that keeps walking through my head is the thought of her as I lie in bed and the love she gave is a love she didn’t admit

Leaves 03:06
when did your love go away can you remember the day and did he promise he’d stay and still go ahead and leave and have you found love since then or did he say let’s be friends and did it hurt you cause I don’t want love to hurt again no, I don’t want love to hurt again I’m waiting for something something in you that tells me to move it’s not there so do I walk down a line where I will see you in time and where the rhythm of brine meets the sand where I stand alone should I reflect while I wait out in the lighthouse’s wake or should sit as the tide creeps on in on you again

the devil has a pretty voice the devil has a pretty voice the devil has a pretty voice but if you listen, you’re the fool that I became the devil wears a pretty dress the devil wears a pretty dress the devil wears a pretty dress but if you start dancing, the song is never going to end the devil has pretty eyes the devil has pretty eyes the devil has pretty eyes but don’t get caught staring, because she doesn’t get mad the devil has a pretty smile the devil has a pretty smile the devil has a pretty smile but her teeth are so white because she eats so well

are you eating alone again I didn’t mean to interrupt if there’s any way I can serve you dear, speak up how does your back feel from yesterday when you said you were pulling my weight if that’s the way you feel, then enough is enough and I’m late one of these days you’re gonna feel lonely one of these days you’ll feel hollowed out and since right now you’re content without me I’ll find myself out and just how long have you felt this way I wish I would have known before the funny thing is that last week you didn’t sound so sore well then this morning should have been a relief not having to look at my green eyes but they were open as I heard you leave the closing door is no longer a surprise one of these days you’re gonna feel lonely one of these days you’ll feel hollowed out and since right now you’re content without me I’ll find myself out and I’ve been waiting so long on something I thought I’d found but it took me this long to notice she’d never turned around one of these days you’re gonna feel lonely one of these days you’ll feel hollowed out and since right now you’re content without me I’ll find myself out

don’t hurt him too bad if he asks you to take his rose don’t hurt him too bad cause he’s so in love but I’m sure that you already know cause his eyes would tell you the words that he writes in the dark you don’t have to let him down gently he’ll break his own heart but she let him down and laid his head on the ground she took his rose into her soft hands and left without a sound the same voice that was crying out “murder” you never heard behind the press of her lips did you hear as she whispered it’s over or were you eclipsed? don’t hurt him too bad’s what I asked you I didn’t think you’d take his rose but it’s you that it hurt and I feel like I jerk it was I that held the thorns I suppose

trickle down the outside of the pane tickle the sound inside my brain are your eyes still as green as the rain makes the grass because I’m counting the drops as a million go past but I’m always watching one I’m always watching one go as cold as the streams that she runs past we both know that nothing will last no time to dream in the night your last breath will come at first light drumming wet on the windowsill watching them tracing with water-made quills you’re halfway down and you’re not slowing up that green pleads for me to extend my cup but you were born with only a surface to slide that gives a fast girl nowhere to hide but I’m always watching you I’ll try but I’m always watching you go as cold as the streams that she runs past we both know that nothing will last no time to dream in the night your last breath will come at first light it’s a quick draw you made down the side of my pane I’d miss you if the others weren’t tapping my brain cold as the streams that she runs past we both know that nothing will last no time to dream in the night your last breath will come at first light we can’t because you will and I won’t we can’t because I will and you won’t

and I wish I wasn’t a guy but I am and I fall just like the rest and I didn’t want you to cry but I tried and I was sensitive at best and if I thought the tears would stop at my touch then I’d put my hands to use and every time our skin collides we both wind up being bruised and now I’m feeling alone and I wish I could apologize but I don’t know what to say and even if I knew the words you wouldn’t want me to pay and I guess that’s why we can’t relate cause we both think we know the truth and I’m about to make my move to leave your ache across the booth and now I’m feeling alone and do you think it was a selfish move to walk out of your life and it shakes me every time I think of how I saw you as my wife and there’s a part of me inside of you that I’ll never get back and what I pray is that the lord would heal us both of what we lack and now I’m feeling alone

people pass by just outside my window where the wall meets the sky people pass by slipping along a grey road and I never catch their eye people pass by but their hearts/eyes speak what their bodies have been trying to lie people pass by would I spot her only knowing how she feels inside quiet tonight wondering why I want someone here, laying by my side quiet tonight wondering if she only walks beneath the moonlight the stream outside my window’s always changing one comes by it won’t come back the same for every tear and those who don’t know fear I’ll remain people pass by just outside my window where the wall meets the sky people pass by slipping along a grey road and I never catch their eye
