The Ground Below

I feel the tightness
growing in my chest
and there isn’t
the space to breathe
so I’ll try my best to think of you
right in front of me
telling me to breath
everything’s okay
I can feel the weight lift
and my heartbeat
I’m breathing in fresh air for the first time
and it feels like a second chance
so I take a step back
collect my thoughts
feel the ground below
feel the breeze around
I make promises to myself
which I’ve never kept
but I’ll make this
promise to you
that I’ll quit before I break
that I’ll live another day
I’ll live another day
one breath at a time
I’ll quit before I break
one breath at a time
I’ll live another day

Splinters

I wanted out, I wanted it desperately
not to feel any better, just differently
I’ve come along way since then, well at least I like to think that
things are getting better, things are changing
today I broke the desk instead
dragged my knuckles through the wood
picked the splinters from my skin
cleaned the blood before you saw
and hid my hands away
I’d make you so sick in so many ways
the progress I’ve been making through all these years
unravelling now right in-front of me
today I broke the desk instead
dragged my knuckles through the wood
picked the splinters from my skin
cleaned the blood before you saw
and hid my hands away
I’d make you so sick in so many ways
I wanted out
it stays the same
the pain never goes
today I broke the desk instead
dragged my knuckles through the wood
picked the splinters from my skin
cleaned the blood before you saw
and hid my hands away
I’d make you so sick in so many ways

San Michele

and it all fell apart just like that
the last life of an ancient ruin
a goodbye to San Michele
yeah it all fell apart just like that
when I saw that look in your eye
as you smashed through window
let the glass shower the floor
I saw that look in your eye
and I could barely recognize you
and it broke my fucking heart
to see all that we built torn from limb to limb
and it all fell apart just like that
when the cheers filled up the halls
as you crashed right through the wall
yeah it all fell apart just like that
when I saw that look in your eye
and that smile across your face
and the distance between us, it grew
I saw that look in your eye
I could barely believe it was you
and it still breaks my heart
to know all that we built was torn from limb to limb
I couldn’t prevent it
even though I wanted to
it wasn’t mine to save
it wasn’t mine to save
not everything that we build can last
not everyone will understand

Tear

if I reach deep inside myself
will I find what I’m looking for
the person that I used to be
the person that I think I am
will I be disappointed
will I be overjoyed
will I know the difference
if there will even be one
(if there will even be one)
I think I know myself
but I’ve been wrong far too often
I think (I think)
I know myself
I think I know myself
at least the version I display
I think (I think)
I know myself
I think I’ve changed
I think I’ve grown
I think I’ve come a long way
at least I’ve tried my best
at least I’ve come a long way
I think I’ve tried my best!
do you see me now for me
can you see me now
do you see me now for me
can you see
I think I know myself
but I’ve been wrong far too often
I think (I think)
I know myself
I think I know myself
at least the version I display
I think (I think)
I know myself
so when I reach inside
tear out all of me
lay it out in front of you
lay it out for all to see
I want to know myself
not the version I display
I want so desperately
with all I have
to know myself
