Mistake

I think I have made a mistake
Gather 'round come watch me break
I left without looking back
Didn't leave time to repair the crack
I have over stayed my welcome
Don't think that I am ungrateful
This kind of living gets to me
Being constricted, hard to breathe
People squirming around way to quick
Took me long to realize
Lets not let this sleeping dog lie
Need me some self preservation
Don't mind this pointless frustration
This kind of living gets to me
Being constricted, hard to breathe
People squirming around way to quick

Devil in the Detail
03:14
|

I'm not worried it's just stressful
Slowly sliding downhill
Gaining speed, getting shorter and darker
How was I supposed to know?
Which way I'm supposed to go?
Death is real it will happen
No changing that
It's at the back of my mind always aching and nagging
How was I supposed to know?
Which way I'm supposed to go?

Been Trying
02:54
|

|
I never wanted much, I never got much
I didn't understand why people were in a rush
When I was younger I thought everything
was guaranteed, silly me
Now I'm a little bit older
And I've grown a little bit colder
The speed the years move over and over
doesn't leave room for closer
And I've been trying
To lose my sharp edge
It's not working
I just keep trying
A child like wonder has kept me from
growing jaded and mentally numb
I fear the more time I spend will keep me outside looking in
trying to remember what brought me here.
But I've been trying
To lose my sharp edge
It's not working
I just keep trying

I know
02:48

I had some time away, It didn't go as planned
Thought this would be a new beginning but I don't know
And I know I should go
But whats keeping me here I'm soon to out grow
Time to stand up tall from the back row
And I know I should go
Changing my mind was harder then it seems
Stuck in the view of old forgotten things
Hard to rip myself away
Hard to rip myself away
And I know I should go
But whats keeping me here I'm soon to out grow
Time to stand up tall from the back row
And I know I should go

Repetition
03:30
|
|||
|
The Loneliness gets to much
as we click reload hoping to get in touch
looking to disrupt the constant flow
of these human thoughts we hate and so
we click and click trying to find someone
to distract our mind in hopes that we can outrun
the overbearing thoughts we get from time to time
as I trick myself in thinking you could be mind
Everyday it's the same
The Repetition is getting to me
Try as we might we can't show
All our thoughts and work and how much we grow
The noise I make from day to day
makes it easier to push the dark away
I'm waiting for that big bad change
hand in these stagnant days and in exchange
Start doing all I said I'd do
In hopes that it would bring me closer to you
Everyday it's the same
The Repetition is getting to me
And I've never been this tired
The facts keep piling up and I'm underneath
This real world is getting to me
Day in day out,day in day out
The Repetition is getting to me

Be Awhile
03:14
|

Show me a familiar face, bones tired from the constant race
rust growing inside hard to move, the longer I live the more I have to prove
Bring me to a familiar place, had to leave at my own pace
You all made coming here worth while but it'll be awhile
It'll be awhile, it'll be awhile
I think it's my time to go away
had to be sure better wait another day
My plan flew out the door
forced to go down a different path and explore
please put away your forced smile
It'll be awhile it'll be awhile
If you think for a second this is hard on you
just imagine what I'm putting myself through
people think I'm brave but why am I so scared?
I just want to know how my story ends
so please out away your forced smile
It'll be awhile it'll be awhile
Please don't take me leaving as my thoughts against you
I had to make a change like I'm not used to
before I know if I was correct
It'll be awhile it'll be awhile
Leaving now, don't know when I'll be back
You'll hear from me when my life's back on track
Hard to say but the next time I see you
It'll be awhile It'll be awhile

Down Here
02:05
|
|||
|
In time I can tell if I was right or wrong
but time always takes to long
snap decisions made at the drop of a hat
no time to sit and think
Don't really know If I'd do it again
or if I'd change what I did
but the sad state of current affairs
I'd sell my soul for the highest bid
I am down here
Im a slow learner it takes me awhile
excuse me as I build the strength to smile
I've never learned from my mistakes
How many more will I have to make
Living is much easier the more you are unaware
The real world starts to pile up and I am stuck under there
I am down here

Feeling Fine
03:01
|

|
What if I had my 15 minutes and the best is in the past?
Curtains closed, waiting to see what this will bring
I wasn't done being young, that went by way to fast
Instability is the new king
I might be crazy but I'm not psychopathic
Im on edge I'm unhappy but I'm not pathetic
I barley work, unimportant but please don't waste my time
I'm not doing well but I hope that you're feeling fine
Maybe if I don't turn the calendar page
the month won't change it'll all stay the same
and you'll all just go away
If I'm lucky
Something heavy weighing on my mind
and that something remains to be defined
here come the trails and here comes the doubt
getting cut in the throat while on constant lookout
I might be crazy but I'm not psychopathic
Im on edge I'm unhappy but I'm not pathetic
I barley work, unimportant but please don't waste my time
I'm not doing well but I hope that you're feeling fine
I hope that you're feeling fine

The Big Frustration
04:27
|
|||
|
When my head hit the pillow all those years ago
not even aware of how much I didn't know
innocents intact dumb to the fact
That the big frustration was coming at me fast
In my younger days I could happily say
I had no concept of living with decay
but with my feet in the fire and my face in the mud
I chip away with these questions I ask in cold blood
I chip away at my calmness and stability
I chip away at my life's simplicity
Everyone has to deal with The Big Frustration
Good luck dealing with The Big Frustration
So this is what growing up was about
the cushion of youth slowly pushed out
Comfort is a myth so I've been told
Anger is a gift, the urge to break the mold
There's nothing we can do, just let that sink in
watch my thoughts out there shaking with the wind
We try and we try, we do what we can
We spend most of our life's just gripping to a plan
It's out of our hands if in luck we are placed
or if everything our life meant was just a big waste
Everyone has to deal with The Big Frustration
Good luck dealing with The Big Frustration

Still Here
04:39
|

|
This is the town where I was born
I've out grown it
But I'm still here
As I grow in age it's not the same
I've out grown this
But I'm still here
This is my home, my only home
Can't be all that I know, that day will come where I will go
But I'm still here
I love this town where I was born
I always will
But I've outgrown it
But I'm still here

Period of Adjustment
01:51
|
|||
|
The plot is getting thickened and the mood is getting dim
The dreams are riding high as the cold it sets right in
My eyes are surely growing as the current keeps on flowing
I hope the sun keeps shining as we keep rowing on and on
My shell keeps getting thicker with a look at the whole picture
My view is getting wider as a shiver runs down my spine
The bench mark is low as it's lacking motivation
lets tiptoe towards the line as we throw away temptation
The water's getting murky as the mud is getting darker
I return to the start with my tale between my legs
The mountain top is daunting as the valley slowing crumbles
Marching on the path as the shame it sets right in
Looking towards the sun my mind screams at the future
Eyes burning from the center but I push a little deeper
We have so much time with so little to see
I hope that we don't die in the deep deep sea
The fog covers my eyes as my shoulders cover my ears
No louder sound then the creation of fear
The walls are surely pulsing as I'm sure the ground is breathing
I look up to the sky as relief it sets right in
This route is off limits and the lake is on fire
Shut the door behind you this is down to the wire
The dissonance is growing every day and every second
Confusion is the norm as I analyze this wreckage
I hope Im not distracting, please stand there in judgement
Don't mind me, It's just a Period of Adjustment
