Muddled 04:00
lyrics

Broken Dreamer Half Awake You're just Waiting on a chance To take your place That'll never come Laughing like a fool Because you know The hollow feeling will not go No Forget your life And sorrows All of it's been Muddled Anyways it's Borrowed The Time you spent Throw it all away Gotta break The patterns They've been chipping Away God I miss Those moments The memory Of lovely days Waking up Oh don't make me Better off alone Put these dull thoughts to bed Making up Please don't wake me Never earned your love So I'll leave you instead Hung up the coat On finding love You know It's funny how the sorrow Fits like a glove It's home Like a shadow Stretching in the sun Then it's done Just a hair away From giving up No don't You won't Forget your life And sorrows All of it's been Muddled Anyways it's Borrowed The Time you spent Throw it all away Gotta break The patterns They've been chipping Away God I miss Those moments The memory Of lovely days Waking up Oh don't make me Better off alone Put these dull thoughts to bed Making up Please don't wake me Never earned your love So I'll leave you instead

Take a deep breath I'm over working Gotta let myself rest If I'm honest Living life just Makes me wish I was dead And if I turn that Painful process Into a Beautiful end There's a good side To the darkness At least I know Where I've been Hardened heart since You left With him But I've been Accepting The bridge you built In pain If I am to change Find the rhyme And stray Shouldn't be hard to say If I'm getting out alive Today Slept in too late I'm ready to escape The fortress of my Bed frame Sounds pretty cautious But being here just Makes me feel warm and safe And if my useless Broken heart Can stretch And paint a newfound Respect Then there's a purpose To the nonsense Of leaning back in To play Hardened heart since You left With him But I've been Accepting The bridge you built In pain If I am to change Find the rhyme And stray Shouldn't be hard to say If I'm getting out alive Today The light always Obliterates These looping Phrases To meet The beast That's underneath The thoughts You regretted Oh no I'm on the way Its not too late I know it's Worth it To fight These nights That blind our sight And make us Give in Don't

Two halves One whole And the feeling like Im growing old The scar On your heart Reminds you Every day that Things fall apart A friend Now long gone Like the tired breath you Lost in a yawn But know That you tried To extend your love As the friendship died It's all gone wrong Ate some weed Then I Wrote this song Funny how We're just done I took myself Out the equation So long To this phase I've grown so much But it only Dulls the pain That lie made me It made me wish I was Nothing Go on and cry If you're honest There's no need To hide One more Goodbye Giving up So I don't Have to vie The day And the night Like every chance I took Pass me by But hold On for luck Don't forget the times When lightning struck And then Joy came Through the Same wound As the shame So no Things aren't set By some Predetermined Holy bet It's all gone wrong Ate some weed Then I Wrote this song Funny how We're just done I took myself Out the equation So long To this phase I've grown so much But it only Dulls the pain That lie made me It made me wish I was Nothing Go on and cry If you're honest There's no need To hide One more Goodbye Giving up So I don't Have to vie

I Took a slip Down the depression hill Wish I knew How to prevent these spills Somedays I'm glued to the phone Frozen in my lonely bed Pools of thought for me to drown Ending up desire's clown Sign it all away Don't you know Your dreams don't have to remain As if anything could Withstand this weight When all the edges are frayed Erase this page When you Don't want to be awake Made the most Of this broken joke But sick of milking the tit of hope Every night is a new fight Lift these heavy eyes to cry This sadness might-oh I just might Take my little stupid life Isn't it funny How the world goes round All the while Everything keeps burning down Try to take your time With the seeds you grow Even though you know All of it's for show Maybe love and truth Are just loop di loop Round and round Grind to ground Til it's DOWN the Shute! And maybe all the good You do is for you Motivated by a hope Of an endless hue Sign it all away Don't you know Your dreams don't have to remain As if anything could Withstand this weight When all the edges are frayed Erase this page When you Don't want to be awake You don't wanna be awake Sign Sign it all away Erase Erase this page All I wanted Was to stay

Hard to say If this is the start Or the end Of something That's so broken I don't know If it's worth the Strength It'll take To go With the flow Lie awake Never ever Gonna escape Your Dream state Is the black hole That you've been Waiting for Every day Try to find A reason to say I could Choose to stay And see What living Is left for me It's so Tenuous Continuously Heartbreaking Drying off The rain drenched Clothes Hang them up Naked with Nowhere to Go You look at me With those Tired eyes Disbelief Reels me Into Your reach Lie awake Never ever Gonna escape Your Dream state Is the black hole That you've been Waiting for Every day Try to find A reason to say I could Choose to stay And see What living Is left for me It's so Tenuous Continuously Heartbreaking If you must Do me damage Do it quickly I break easily Lie awake Never ever Gonna escape Your Dream state Is the black hole That you've been Waiting for Every day Try to find A reason to say I could Choose to stay And see What living Is left for me It's so Tenuous Continuously Heartbreaking

I'm a cheap thrill Going off the rails The rails Just a lost cause Wondering If I will fail I'm a tough sell Rambling On my own My own The bitter taste Of loneliness Has become My home You're caught in a loop Yeah you know it's the truth A bond that felt bullet proof And now it's riddled with holes So now what's left to lose When it all seems insane Don't want to be used Does this feel right to you? When the thing that you want Ain't the thing that you need You're a dump truck Coming down The road The road Like a Brain freeze warrior You bare the cold You're the Morning sun That I cannot Ignore Must be nice to To live in the sky And be so warm You're caught in a loop Yeah you know it's the truth A bond that felt bullet proof And now it's riddled with holes So now what's left to lose When it all seems insane Don't want to be used Does this feel right to you? When the thing that you want Ain't the thing that you need Hold me Like memories Tell me A lie for comforting Sometimes this Honesty Is as simple As a melody That chokes me Oh No The hold Won't let go You're caught in a loop Yeah you know it's the truth A bond that felt bullet proof And now it's riddled with holes So now what's left to lose When it all seems insane Don't want to be used Does this feel right to you? When the thing that you want Ain't the thing that you need Hold me Like memories Tell me A lie for comforting Sometimes this Honesty Is as simple As a melody That chokes me Oh No The hold Won't let go

Made up my mind I'm getting off of this ride Seems like the right time Take a dip See what's behind these lines And the universe it groans And I'm not paying my student loans Feels like a force of nature Swelled up inside my life And who knows Where this is going? And if it is real Who cares Just feel what you feel Can't live like a regret Stretching out the concept But I'm not your pet Doesn't matter where I've slept On my own Caution Cautious Kept me Nervous Restless Red kite Strangled The Daylight It's a language I don't speak too well Wanting to connect And knowing that I never will I'm on the outside Can't relate to you Making peace with The stillness Of my own groove There's a growing Sense of apathy Wish it wasn't there But sometimes it's all that I see It's a lifetime Full of longing Spending all your time Hoping For some sweet relief Nonsense No place Without Your Embrace Work hard Burn out Reset Congrats You're coping It's a lifetime Full of longing Spending all your time Hoping For some sweet relief There's a growing Sense of apathy Wish it wasn't there But sometimes it's all that I see I'm on the outside Can't relate to you Making peace with The stillness Of my own groove It's a language I don't speak too well Wanting to connect And knowing that I never will It's a lifetime Full of longing Spending all your time Hoping For some sweet relief It's a language It's a lifetime Longing for escape And knowing that I never wil

You can laugh at me Cus I don't mind No Because Every days another race In the marathon of pride Oh why Lying in bed But I'm a-wake Oh I can't Stop thinking about the day And how It all goes to waste But Wind blows The sound Of a pulse She's on Her way The worlds about to change I'll always Wish for more It's apart of my Nature But I'll Find a Better way To Make it through this Planetary Dream Okay I can hardly wait To see you Smile again Because It makes me feel Like there's some hope In this Avalanche of despair You're the bright star In my night sky Oh I-I-I Better make a wish before The dawn gives birth To light Wind blows The sound Of a pulse She's on Her way The worlds about to change I'll always Wish for more It's apart of my Nature But I'll Find a Better way To Make it through this Planetary Dream As Wind blows The sound Of her pulse She's here to stay The world is her stage And I'll always Wish for her To Have a great Adventure But She'll have to Make her way Through this Planetary Dream Some day

Happy You get To be With her I'm so glad that Someone Loves you deeply There's no Remorse In the Feeling Shut down My heart No more False starts Living in an AI generated world Telling you You're not enough But you call its bluff You're searching for the truth But the plot was lost So you wander the crowd Trying to Find your spot Want to feel better And you do your best But underneath it all The pressure's still in your chest A heart worn by Failure and disgrace Why's it so hard To pave a way In the first place A way to live A way to be A way to see Everything I don't need Want to be free Of these ideologies That Chain me They change me They drain me Tell depression It can suck my dick Quack quack Doctor duck Prescribe me- I'm sick Of meds On meds In beds Still wishing I Could share Those moments with you Oh well Dreams ain't coming true Shake it off And enjoy the view Anger Does not Serve us At all Sometimes We've got To just Shut up Stillness Presence Recall That breath See your True self In each Other They try to sell your soul In a battle for likes and views But we gotta wake up And refuse No more Doom scrolling til 3AM Spiral down Break the cycle Of comparison We've been Oppressed so long We can't even See the truth They stole our power Broke our spirits Made us into fools Clowning For attention Growing our own brands But now we've ended up In the devils hands I want a new world I see it so clearly One where our worth isn't defined so damn quickly We got 3-5 second attention spans So we burn ourselves out For the constant demand What's a life If you never get live it Stuck in a box Being fed Nothing but bullshit Oh holy goat Let me milk you for cheese Ignore your suffering While we fall on our knees To suck the cock Of the government Well guess what I'm out I'm Done Bye bye So long Fin

I'm a scorpion In the sand Just waiting to Sting your hand Overcome my Nature With the will to learn The will to carry on You're a wild dog at heart There's no need To tear me apart Wearing down your Patience Like the will to learn The will to carry on Rising tide Could take The life Of this worthless Hound The dead heart Can't Pound away On my Grave Strum a chord And watch The words That you say You're a dead star From the past Something this good Never lasts Watch you burn out Flickering With no will to learn No will to carry on I'm just resting My head Sick of wishing I was dead But is it worth it Without you And the will to learn The will to carry on Rising tide Could take The life Of this worthless Hound The dead heart Can't Pound away On my Grave Strum a chord And watch The words That you Say it all Could change In shades Gradual release From all that You Cease the fight Now hold Me tight God if I Could see The leash you wore for me
