Precipice

We find ourselves descending
You're all the good things that I shouldn't have
We can stop pretending
We're at a precipice and looking back
With only finite patience
How much longer can we last?
We're stopping at old stations
Unwanted relics of the past
I'm trying to ablate it
It's hard to conceive of, like a tesseract
I wish I could navigate it
I could avoid it if I could react
With only finite patience
How much longer can we last?
We're stopping at old stations
Unwanted relics of the past
We'll stuff the thoughts all down until they disappear
Become invisible
But they're still there

Erase

How do you do it?
You keep me on board
After everything
I keep coming back for more
Now, it's been forever
But you're still on my mind
I should just forget you
But your essence is with me all of the time
Memories I've been trying to erase
Too bad they're not as pretty as your face
When I finally see you
Regrets in your hair
Oh so maladjusted
Worse for the wear
I still lose my balance
My stomach sinks
Stillness in your absence
But you still appear to me out of sync
Memories I've been trying to erase
Too bad they're not as pretty as your face

Sick of feeling bored
You're through with being dull, you don't want to be ignored
Try another guise
You're wearing out mantras, trying them on for size
Gone out the window
You're looking for someone else to be
Scared to be yourself
Maybe someday you'll notice
You can't please them all
The things you say and do can't please them all
But all you want to do is please them all
The things you say and do can't please them all
But all you want to do
Is shift phase to phase
And if it strikes a nerve, then you'll go your separate ways
Meet face to face
Well, you can wear the façade, but you'll still feel out of place
Gone out the window
You're looking for someone else to be
Scared to be yourself
Maybe somebody'll tell you
You can't please them all
The things you say and do can't please them all
But all you want to do is please them all
The things you say and do can't please them all
But all you want to do is please them all

Eggshells

If I had the right
To say my piece without a fight
Then maybe you would see the light
But it doesn't matter
It's no good if you
Can't see it from my point of view
I'm trying to get my feelings through
But it doesn't matter
On eggshells
This pressure's
Too much for me
No relief
Disbelief
We're out at sea
Anything I try
Is not enough for you
I'm doing the best that I can do
So where'd it all go astray?
It suddenly gave way
Picking up the pieces just to throw them all away
I just can't go on
Pretending that my fears have gone
Pretending that you're never wrong
But it doesn't matter
I can't trust myself
So why should anybody else?
I put my feelings on the shelf
'Cause it doesn't matter
Defeated
Repeated
All my mistakes
These eggshells
I can tell
Are about to break
Anything I try
Is not enough for you
I'm doing the best that I can do
So where'd it all go astray?
It suddenly gave way
Picking up the pieces just to throw them all away
