Know Better

No longer looking for
reasons to get off my bedroom floor;
now lying in my bed
force feeding thoughts inside my head
Dispose these thoughts that belong to no one
Dispose these thoughts that belong to no one
Dispose these thoughts that belong to no one,
or take your pick; take time to know one
Now sleeping in the streets
to silence my own scrutiny
Though now my thoughts won't roam,
I need to find my way back home
Go home

Go all the way
Live for today
It'll all be okay
When you figure it out later
you'll know that everything's okay
Decide right away
Your thought's a delay
That's what they say
Despite everything gone wrong
that's always what they say
There's no retry
It's not unheard of to decline
Freedom is nothing to abide by
Why not take the time?
Beware if you may
live for today
what costs could be paid
There's no retry
Next time you can stay
Let them be okay
when things go astray
There's no retry

Busted

Still picking myself up
Acknowledging the scrapes
Still waiting for the shock to end
as all this blood escapes
Still want to let in settle in
Still want to be awake
Still want to wash of my dead skin
as all this paint awaits
Not sure of what to do
or sure of what to say
to all the people wondering
asking me if I'm okay
I don't know what exactly to expect
Still feeding into my bogus
sense of self respect
Still unable to prepare myself
for this injury's affect
I've started healing now
as far as I can know
and that is what I say
in hopes that they won't go
though now I feel the hurt
and my act begins to show
-my act begins to show
Busted
I'm busted

Spoken For
01:33

I force my needs to apologize
Fabrication spills as my tongue unties
Please assume things no one knows
if what is heard excels what's disclosed
Projections I've condoned
Say what makes it easy
Tell me who I should be
to hide what's best unknown
Distinction's abnormality
just the way it should be
so hide what's best unknown
Curse me
and all my affirmation
It's fair to be reserved
I'm good enough for you,
I guess I'm good enough for me
Assume who I am
and never who I may be
We're guilty allies
and sifting through lies
I'm good enough for you,
I guess I'm good enough for me
Assume who I am
and never who I may be
Quick fixes fix things so quickly
Stay the same and remain sickly

Exceed Nothing

So sick of celebrity
and looking for some pity
No need for opportunity
and when there is, we're kidding
Complaisant amputees
struggling to agree
you're the same as me:
scraping by
Fake attempts at quitting
Inadequacy's fitting
No need for opportunity
and when there is, we're kidding
I refuse to
-refuse to justify
I enthuse to
-enthuse to infamize
Complaisant amputees
struggling to agree
you're the same as me:
scraping by
Proof is crucial to prove something
Truth is tough to defeat bluffing
So unsure what exceeds nothing
Please exceed to exceed nothing
Merely content, nothing to do
No need for closure or review
Try to wish how it should be
miles from successfully
All these loose ends won't tie up
Excess numbers don't add up
Say you care and just shut up
Don't try and fill this half full cup
Think you're over it?
You're over it? You're over it?
Say you're over it
please, successfully
Exceeding nothing's clearly
executed so sincerely
Please, successfully
Exceed successfully
Merely content, nothing to do
No need for closure or review
