all these years trudging along
everyday just trudging along
these lines
they used to be so strong
shifting the light so I can’t be seen
we already know it had to be me
I was wrong
I, I, I’ve gotten too comfortable around you
and I, I, I can’t believe my
I hear the words you say out loud
with that sharpened mouth you can bring me down
here
it used to bloom sweet sounds
and I, I, I’ve gotten too comfortable around yout
and I, I, I can’t believe
well it’s no surprise I’ve got wandering eyes
could you look into them and know how hard I tried?
Oh it’ll always hurt
but is it a sin if I’ve been
shifting the lifght so I can’t be seen?
You already know it had to be me
I was wrong
and I, I, I’ve gotten too comfortable around you
and I, I, I can’t believe my

caught inside ‘cause I’m so alone
I told my friend that I wasn’t home
thoughts to hurt ‘cause I’m a threat
trying so hard to put out all my cigarettes
blues that move, and blues that glare
waves that break in the salty air
the dream is gone, what’s left was bare
what you thought you saw wasn’t really there
and if I can’t believe in God then coincidence is fair
and I wouldn’t say I love this place, but for it I will always care
pointless talks, they all waste my time
pretty girls just walking lines
but I saw the smiles and I felt their tears
‘cause music hasn’t faded after all these years
blues that move, and blues that glare
waves that break in the salty air
the dream is gone what’s left was bare
what you thought you saw wasn’t really there
and if I can’t believe in God then coincidence is fair
and I wouldn’t say I love this place, but for it I will always care
you stay too long it’s gonna be hard to leave
I know I can’t forget that I gotta leave
oh you don’t know how badly I wanna leave
I’ve waited so long, I think I’m finally
blues that move, and blues that glare
waves that break in the salty air
the dream is gone what’s left was bare
what you thought you saw wasn’t really there
and if I can’t believe in God then coincidence is fair
and I wouldn’t say I love this place, but for it I will always care

Black and Blue

stayed out late last night again
felt the heat rise with whiskey and gin
you don’t know how you’re gonna do it
but you know you’re gonna do it
it’s just a matter of time before you fall
and then you’re dreamin’
sweet escape lays on your bed
your weakest point is the spot in your head
you find it hard to leave her
when she’s calling out your name
and there’s no time to love yourself
today
black and blue
I know that hearts bruise too
nobody said you can’t feel
nobody said it won’t heal
and you weren’t wrong
but you don’t gotta keep holding on
you know what you lose and gain
is a part of this silly game we play
black and blue, black and blue
reaching far for the thing you want
it makes it harder when you start and you stop
the stars are all aligned and they’re bound to stay that way
just as long as you believe and have faith
she hurt your heart and left you all alone
and all the friends you thought were friends have gone
I hope you know that you are better than what she told you
and when you’re ready you’ll forgive them for what they showed you
black and blue
I know that hearts bruise too
nobody said you can’t feel
nobody said it won’t heal
and you weren’t wrong
but you don’t gotta keep holding on
you know what you lose and gain
is a part of this silly game we play
black and blue, black and blue
and no matter how things turn out
you’re gonna make us all so proud
all I ask is that you try
you know it’ll be worth your while
black and blue
I know that hearts bruise too
nobody said you can’t feel
nobody said it won’t heal
and you weren’t wrong
but you don’t gotta keep holding on
you know what you lose and gain
is a part of this silly game we play
black and blue, black and blue

The Kid

I feel so alone
like the last man on Earth
you fell through the web
but you didn’t get hurt
I saw like a seer
as soon as we kissed
we were doomed for forgiveness
from the one who wasn’t missed
and I’m sorry for these things and how I couldn’t make them right
the words that I spoke—I’ll choose better next time
and when that moment does arrive you’ll tell me that I’m it
and I’ll say you’re just a joker, don’t be a
kid
if you are my past,
then what am I now?
I learned I’m bitter, numb, and angry
yeah, you know you taught me how
if life isn’t love,
then what am I doing here?
I’m terrified of caring
and scared to live in fear
and like you I’m full of lies
for the barricade I built has a door for you to open
and when that moment does arrive you’ll tell me that I’m it
and I’ll say you’re just a joker, don’t be a
kid

Windless Skies

un-explainable
rebuilding a soul
windless skies for me
pride when there’s no need
you told me it was grace and that was all
you washed your hands and made me feel so small
the desert’s only dry
you made up your mind
that the leaves were just some shade and they’ll all blow away
someday
she forgot her worth
but wielded song and words
windless skies gave birth
to change that which is here
you told her it was grace and that was all
you washed your hands and made her feel so small
well winter’s always cold
and we fell into the fold
but she’ll trump you like the Spring
and make light to cast the dream
for you and me
All the world is stopped for you
if you can’t forget the thoughts the words were true
so shed
things that hurt you (it doesn’t mean a thing)

Hanging Out

help me wanna stay
when all I wanna do is run away
keep the edge of my sword like my tongue
I’ll hear them cry and I’ll watch them run
it gets lonely around this place
I wander for a kind embrace
well don’t you know
how everything goes?
the trees will change
but I’ll stay the same
and can’t you see
what everything means?
the gods say goodnight
but they leave the stars on bright
when I first saw you
you were hanging out to dry
the wind didn’t chap your lips
you were too busy crying
the shadow is dark
but created by the light that sits so politely out of your sight
well don’t you know
how everything goes?
the trees will change
but I’ll stay the same
and can’t you see
what everything means?
the gods say goodnight
but they leave the stars on bright
I’ve got this feeling
that no one’s really
thinking the way I do
and when I’m lonely
I know it’s only
’cause I’m just thinking it through
well don’t you know
how everything goes?
the trees will change
but I’ll stay the same
and can’t you see
what everything means?
the gods say goodnight
but they leave the stars on bright

Psychosis of Dreams
by Leandrul
supported by 4 fans who also own “Patrons of Silence”
I understand that it's entirely too early to level such weighty accusations, but nonetheless I genuinely suspect that Psychosis of Dreams might now be my single favorite album, like ever. To be fair, the last champion only held the title for 14 years, like a quitter.
