I'm forced to watch reflections of monotone spoken from my lips
And what's bottled up I release with the help of liquid love
So I douse my blood in silver skies to keep a darkened sunrise frozen in time
I'm always bound to a self destructive wake
Some nights I want to run away but I know that I'll just stay
And I think you'd chase me wherever I'd end up
And it still pains me to say that I want you to stay
Can't we wait for the problem to address itself and leave us be
Because we're picture perfect let's not make anymore drastic changes to this life
But I know all this is is my dependence taunting me
And I can't help but give into it again
But it might be alright if you go
Although I don't think I want to make it on my own
I hope it's alright if you go
I can't stand the thought of being all alone

As I Slipped Away

I rolled over to your side of our dream
And the ground became pavement beneath our feet
As you started to walk your movement became so strange
And you were so far ahead of me I could not keep up the pace
As I Slipped Away
I woke up in the middle of the road
The streetlights still haunted by the remnants of your shadow
The sky above seemed more like a ceiling
My body became so weightless
And soon I had lost all feeling and slipped away
Then my eyes went numb
And all the colors melted into one another
Nothing I right could ever describe this
Maybe I've finally cracked

I don't even know who I am anymore
Because I get my contentment from off a shelf
And I don't really like where it takes me anymore
Stuck in a lucid dream I created for myself
And I'm not getting out anytime soon
And I can't hold onto reality
Before I find myself I must lose it all
Because I try and walk straight but I'm afraid I'll fall
Staring blankly into my mistakes
I'm fleeting back to something easy
But I don't even like the way I think anymore
With every passing second theirs something I left behind
But I won't be better off without them
And I refuse to remain afraid
And every time I feel the fear I close my eyes
And swallow that contentment high
But all it does is make me wonder once it arrives
If I began to describe it, it could change my life
(There's an in-between I sleep in)
(In the back of an empty mind)
(Once it flowed with hatred)
(Now it seems to be so kind)
(Then the dawn brought back the feeling)
(Of a revolting man's execrate)
(So I take the hit and zone out again)
(So that it never wakes up)
