Will you nurture the flame again?
Or let impassioned youth...?

We fell apart so silently
We were asleep
I still notice
The rift between us
A little friction was enough to cause a spark
We both know it (nothing good lasts forever)
All the things I could have said
All that shit you never meant
Makes it hard to start again
But if it’s all wrong, a chance to become stronger
Cut my teeth on a peak that we can’t climb
Feed the image projecting in my mind
Say you were overwhelmed
I’ll stay cause I sell myself short
Wait, we’re a shell of what we were
But sleeping alone hurts
(Cut my teeth on a peak that we can’t climb
Feed the image projecting in my mind)
Stay cause I’m overwhelmed
I’ll stay, cause I sell myself
Suspend my disbelief
It’s all pure dopamine
Suspend my disbelief, it’s all pure dopamine
Past its prime
Can’t see you see that it’s time to break apart
All the things I could have said
All that shit you never meant
Makes it hard to start again
But if it’s all wrong, a chance to become stronger
Say you were overwhelmed
I’ll stay cause I sell myself short
Wait, we’re a shell of what we were
But sleeping alone hurts
We’re all the same, we crave connection, even though we grow apart
There’s no room for this passive aggressive walk if we both need to grow past it
(We’re all the same, we crave connection)
(We’re all the same, we crave connection)

Spare me the advice
'Cause I'm sick of sleepwalking everyday
Simply following the pavement
The finish line has been erased
There's no antiquated dream to chase
The torch was passed on while you slept
Standing by while it dies without the promise you made yourself
Won't let myself be content, happy
With any choice I made
I'll just regret it once the passion fades
And I could leave here
Ignore the seeds we've sown
But this bed is so dear
I wanna see it overgrown
Spare me the advice
'Cause I'm sick of sleepwalking every day
Simply following the pavement
Improvise my lines
And even if it's riddled with mistakes
It's not too late change
You've never seen it quite like this before
Canvas has changed
Nothing's the same
What strings still keep pulling you this way?
If it sustains you, is it the art that suffers?
Purpose evades you, now you're dull and gray like the others
It looked so much closer from on the giant's shoulders
Feeling so much older, I don't know what I want from this
It looked so much closer from on the giant's shoulders
Feeling so much older, I don't know what I want from this
And I could leave here
Ignore the seeds we've sown
But this bed is so dear
I wanna see it overgrown
Spare me the Advice
'Cause I'm sick of sleepwalking through my days
Simply following the pavement
Improvise my lines
And even if it's riddled with mistakes
It's not too late change

Fleeting youth crushing you, we stall
Can't tell me why you're in my life then nothing at all
You should know that I can't be somebody else
You can't find me in somebody else
You should fill that void within yourself
With yourself
Though I
Try to
Hold you accountable
It's a waste of time
Pining
Over
Human distractions
Just read between the lines
If we deserve what we earn
You'll lose a thousand times in turn
Cause you never learn
Counting on the fact that they'll take you back but I won't
Cyclical misery
How many more before you change?
There's a pattern to break
And I can't watch
Can't watch you
Clearly
You seek
Gratification
Even just for the night
What you don't see
Is the person who suffers when you lie
If we deserve what we earn
You'll lose a thousand times in turn
Cause you never learn
Counting on the fact that they'll take you back but I won't
Cyclical misery
How many more before you change?
There's a pattern to break
And I can't watch you waste your life away

I'm falling further than before,
And I'm running out of faith
Come closer
I'll squeeze the life out of love 'til it kills me
If the motions are all you need
Then maybe that's fine with me
False security
Lie to me, lie to me
But the veil is wearing thin
Ignore my suffering
Make sure you don't let me in
(We're all just temporary)
You're wasting your time
We're all just temporary
For now, you'll be mine
Outgrow me, throw me to the side
You need some security
But we borrow each other, cling to the other
'Til we're gasping and begging for space
You're wasting your time
We're all just temporary
For now, you'll be mine
Outgrow me, throw me to the side
(Throw me to the side)
Will you nurture the flame again?
Or just crumble and fall
You're wasting your time
We're all just temporary
For now, you'll be mine
Outgrow me, throw me to the side
(Throw me to the side, throw me to the)

Calm Down

All the shells of eggs
Breaking beneath my feet
How insensitive
That I failed to acknowledge your intolerance
While I was trying my best to
Hide my weaknesses from you
I failed and you left me soon as you had learned the truth
Won’t you calm down?
Haven’t you said enough?
For the first time, I can shut my eyes and feel at
Peace will, find you yet again
For the last time, I will send you off with my love
Quarter-crisis
Not even half-way there but you’re giving up
Everything you hold so
Close to your heart
Claim to be trembling yet you’re standing still
In a pool of tears you conjured on a whim
Learned my weaknesses from you
Saving such a dumpster fire, a meaningless pursuit
Won’t you calm down?
Haven’t you said enough?
For the first time, I can shut my eyes and feel at
Peace will, find you yet again
For the last time, I will send you off with my love
With every word you speak, just make it possible
For empty words and empty songs, enough to move your life along
And if you’re ever feeling doubt refer to the manual
And be the first to get in line, refer to scripture every time
And if you’re ever feeling down, just make it possible
For empty words and empty songs, enough to move your life along
Won’t you calm down?

I hear my heartbeat and embrace the disarray
Eyes on the drywall as it exceeds what I can take
Disillusion, have I failed myself again?
And the cycle never ends
And I wither and decay
Can you see the burning out?
Can you hear the absent sounds?
'Cause it's all over now
Help me focus
So many ways to uncover
(I can feel my control is withdrawing, in better times when I find this appalling)
Watch me reclaim and recover
I'll Languish in disharmony that I composed myself
One more step feels way too far for me and I can tell
Can't take the easy out
Were it the other way around I know that I'd anchor you to me
Embracing phantom memories
So many ways to uncover
(I can feel my control is withdrawing in better times when I find this appalling)
Watch me reclaim and recover

Pacify the willing masses
And they all look just like you
Disconnected at the neck
Head's in the clouds or is it just not on your shoulders?
Sensing premonitions they've got the ammunition to annihilate your self control
Don't you look so proud?
Can't practice what you preach with a foot in your mouth
You fan the flames again
Highlight our differences
And line your pockets while we burn for eternity
Try and monopolize
Fear of the afterlife
Over and over
You're getting anxious when pews won't fill themselves
Threatened by a safer space
Does he approve of all your rage?
Tell us of your loving ways
And focus on the hate
Don't you look so proud?
Can't practice what you preach with a foot in your mouth
You fan the flames again
Highlight our differences
And line your pockets while we burn for eternity
Try and monopolize
Fear of the afterlife
Over and over
I hear your voices, offended noises
Are we the sheep if he's your shepherd?
You've got it all, you'll never change, you'll never fade. Will you?
You fan the flames again
Highlight our differences
And line your pockets while we burn for eternity
Try and monopolize
Fear of the afterlife
Over and over
Over and over
(And over)

Dissonant voices
After one look in the mirror
Can you see the lines are clearer?
Hollow foundation, crumbling resolve, fleeting determination.
You can illuminate the way
Rekindle and retake
Will you nurture the flame again?
Or let impassioned youth drift away?
Will you nurture the flame again?
One last push is enough
Or let impassioned youth drift away?
Don't you ever, let the ember fade
Silhouettes bleed in from the background,
Empy space is all you see now
Ignore the countless watching eyes
The ones you materialize
Nothing matters, soon you'll realize
And that's more than liberating
You can illuminate the way
Rekindle and retake
Will you nurture the flame again?
One last push is enough
Or let impassioned youth drift away?
Don't you ever, let the ember fade
Choice must establish the pattern of your trust
Succeed before dying alone (alone)
We break with time, bridges crumble, we unwind
God pays no mind, the sky is empty, you drew the signs
But robbed of your agency, you were too blind to see the beauty before your eyes
Will you nurture the flame again?
Will you nurture the flame?
