The holes in my shoes are nothing compared to the pieces of mind I'm missing in moments like the ones we've spent. It almost feels like they're dragging a tail of reminders. As I walk back the path of pictures I kept in my head I find it hard to realize that this much has changed and so much is gone. I'm still so far away from where I wanted to be up to this day but never stuck in faded days. I'm still so far away from where I wanted to be up to this day but I know that they are dead and laid to rest. And yes it still breaks my heart sometimes to see your fake eyes chasing the easiest way out of it all. Our routines are rattling snakes waiting under every stone that we turn, so just be quick enough to change directions before they get the chance to bite.

There's no need for reminders 'cause I know my mistakes better than anyone else. Still these days love to kill me in their own cynical ways. It bites a wound, it bleeds. I hope it will heal soon. There's days I only get out of bed because I have to take a piss. No matter how I try I just can't find the motivation I miss. Please tell me what's the use of checking the time on a clock that's blinking eights. I think it's time to wake up and open my eyes before it's too late.

When it's been way too long since we both talked for the last time. Our faces have grown older and so have our minds. But what really matters it lies on the inside. It lies in every single one of us, at the bottom of our hearts. How are you doing, it's been so long. And what are you up to, I wanna know. Do you remember the days when we were restless? The days were routine but the nights were endless. The ringing in my ears reminds me of moments so far from where we are today and those bottles tell stories so let's just listen and take the time to make things right. How can we ever make it right?

Nightlights 03:46
A million miles away the stars have forgotten to carry on another day and still we see their fragments shining bright. It's hunting us down just like our pasts do. Throwing their theater light on fatal situations. Scene one, take one, carry me on stage. I know the lines I don't need nobody to tell me. My hands are cold and shaking still, waiting for the words to come. I'd rather say nothing and hold my breath 'cause time runs thin and stars are deaf. And so we scream but we don't make a sound, we're waiting to be heard but we're not profound.

Directions 04:16
In all our ways we take directions everyday. But how can we ever know which way to go and why we leave it all behind and move on to something new? But hey, there's no need to pull me down this time, I already managed myself. And hey, there's no need to be patient with anything 'cause I'm more than content with this. Somehow you should have known that I would never let you go without a bitter taste in my mouth. But I just couldn't find the words to tell what's really on my mind and so I just watched you drive away. What the hell is wrong with me, I kind of failed at telling you this. This little phrase that's on this heart. I fucked it up right from the start. See, the directions that we take they can lead us to everywhere whereas the place that we've been to they won't get us anywhere.

I wonder if you notice that my hands start to shake every time your eyes hit mine. Please don't look at me this way, I feel you knocking me out of my stride and I start to feel so insecure about everything I do. I just want to be around you. Pull the blinders down and listen close as the night begins to bloom. I've been looking for a shooting star somewhere inside this room to find me safe inside your arms. So look at me and see me smiling. Just look at me and see me smiling thinking about the story so far.

As nightskies line up before our eyes I'm dying to stop the sand from running down the hourglass. Maybe it's just the constant lack of sleep that lets the blood rush into my head every time your eyes hit mine. It's those stereotype situations which make us feel so insecure although we've nothing left to lose after all. And so we spill our guts all over the place hidden behind ironic smiles and standard lines, still hoping that somehow they'll be noticed. So keep me in your thoughts and down the sun. You don't need light to see who I really am. If you have the eyes for the heart that I have I don't give a fuck about daytime at all.
