i don't mind
wasting all my time
lost in daydream
can you hear me?
high tides, wash me away
still waters, so degrading
i crave the crashing waves
still here and I'm still waiting
will they listen
or watch from a distance
as i scream
can you hear me?
high tides, wash me away
still waters, so degrading
i crave the crashing waves
still here and I'm still waiting
high tides, wash me away
still waters, so degrading
i crave the crashing waves
still here and I'm still waiting

one day

he tries to find
a way to kill the time
as she waits all day
for something good to say
he looks into her eyes and whispers
his melody in hopes that
she could harmonize if only
she could find the words to sing
maybe one day
we'll get away
maybe one day
we'll be ok
they wonder why
it seems so hard sometimes
to make it through life
is it really worth all the strife?
she just hopes he knows
she'll never let him go
but all on his mind
"you should've left me behind"
but the days go by so slow without you
time's just a joke life plays on us
i aint laughing
no i don't know how to
take it and wait it out but
maybe one day
we'll get away
maybe one day
we'll be ok
maybe one day we'll get away
no more hiding, we'll be ok
only today is in our way
hold on, we gone we'll be ok

hey
in my small pond
the water's fine
where i know I'm its
and it knows it's mine
so many fish
in that big blue sea
but in my small pond,
aint none as big as me
oh i know i won't go
anywhere today
but i won't stop
til I'm cold and gray
big fish in a small pond
that's all i'll ever be
oh well, i know there's
nothing else for me
hey
no room to breathe
on this speck of dust
so watered down
we can't keep our heads above
so i'll just sit here
sinking in my pond
cuz this here puddle
well it's all I've got
(RemzSin)
standing by the edge
but I know I'll never fall
cause the other side holds me
even when i hit a wall
drags me down the deep end
yet gives me air to breathe
even when i was little,
i was dreaming to achieve
the dreams always flowed through me
never taken from behind the curtain
but maybe the oz can show me a road
a little more pristine
one that decides to hold me
not to comfort me after it hurts me
i was 9 years old when i found out
that yellow's not a color i see
but then i remember even the
brightest lights can't see
the way they shine through the dark
even in the smallest of ponds
the smallest of ponds
the smallest of ponds
oh i know i won't go
anywhere today
but i won't stop
til I'm cold and gray
big fish in a small pond
that's all i'll ever be
oh well, i know there's
nothing else for me

now are you listening?
you're just a kid
you've never had much
but your resentment
for the world
for its insignificance
oh why are you so bitter?
oh did you ever consider?
indignant at the existence
with which you've been inflicted
you can only hope that it gets better
oh I know you know
you don't know shit
but sometimes I find
the answers to your questions
aren't worth it
and you're so terrified
of being yet another waste of time
it dominates your mind
"oh can this really be all there is to life?"
but all you've ever done
is bitch and moan
it's not pretty, little kiddie
but self pity's all you've ever known
despite all your efforts,
all your questions go unanswered
your aspirations all turn sour
to frustrations of a coward
but suffice to say
you don't have a say
in who you'll be
on any given day
but you don't have to stay
who the fuck do you think you are?
we're all equally as trivial
in the eyes of the stars
hey little kid
now are you listening?
you'll never be anything but one in seven billion.
quitter

everything you haven't said
can't get it out of my head
what is there to say?
lost for words as you fade away
now i come to find
everything that you hide
after all this time
we forgot the reasons why
i don't know where we went wrong
tried so hard for so long
can't stop thinking
together, we're sinking
shelf life
shelf life
shelf life

tuesday morning

tuesday morning
comes and goes
as matter eludes
my scattered prose
nobody seems to know
the agony
tuesday mornings impose
with a battered pen
and baby blue nose
i set aside daily life
and set forth to compose
but the ink starts to slow
my verse goes stale
all the words i have wrote
i now hold in contempt
and silence ensues
i can only hope
wednesday morning comes soon

window
03:19
|

every day feels like another waste
a glance at a chance
as it just fades away
just another reason not to stay
oh what a shame
but i know who's to blame
watch the seasons change
while i stay the same
rain or shine holds me in such disdain
watch the people
they're just passing by
i don't know why every word feels like a lie
all i'll ever be is a parody of me
and i don't know
what to do or where to go
I'm watching life go by
from behind my eyes
the whole world goes on
while i look through my window

oh darling

only time will tell
oh darling
could you ever understand?
when the pen
strays away from my hand
it's only a matter of time
oh darling
but I'm trapped in a cage
barred behind
the lines on the page
I know it's all in my mind
I'm so sorry
for all the times
you've called my name
but only to find I
can't hear over my cries
after all this time
I'm still confined
to begging the page
for a few good lines I
know there's no end in sight
oh darling
you know I'd give you everything
but all I've got is hopes and dreams
and I hope maybe one day you'll see
this is me.
