Sleep Cycles

visions of life through a different lens,
one that i've borrowed
from a friend i will purify all of the thoughts in my head
til i can take on tomorrow
write a to-do list then ask yourself why you should do any of
the things that you wrote
isn't it hard enough when you're stuck clinging to
the last knot on the rope
home again now i can finally think about all the shittiest things i've done,
there's no time to unwind when the voices in my head collide
with the web that you've spun
and i'll fall into cracks in the pavement
that seem to just swallow my feet,
a game me and my fears play, they play it for keeps,
so i'll worry myself to sleep
give me something i can keep forever,
in this house i'll find
broken staircases and bookshelves,
small streaks of sunlight through the blinds
the things we need are hide to find
the things we fear we'll leave behind

as you walk out your door to your front yard
you wonder what things will go wrong today
you've been stuck in this shell that you've locked your life into
just to tell yourself that you'd be okay
and you can sing, if you want to
in the passenger seat of my car while i browse stations for a song
that we both know the words to
but these days wont change,
as long as we respect the trends we've locked ourselves in
since that summer's end
i know i promised not to tell,
but i hope that you can still call me your friend
we walked to the wall,
the shady areas of our town make my skin just crawl
when will we stop drinking beers and throwing up and
leaving all our empties in the mud
until then i hope you know, that i'll be back when
autumn leaves turn into snow
and how about we forget the failures of the past few years,
it's real easy you'll see
to pretend we are unchanged by all the things
we've been through recently
and i know you still need me
and as i pull my van out of your driveway
i can almost feel your company
your company is killing me, revealing feelings i've concealed for years,
the things that i said, the promises i never kept,
i left you in the dark that cold october night
where we walked with eachother, abandoned our friends,
and swore to god our lives were good today
we swore to god our lives were good today
but these days wont change,
as long as we respect the trends we've locked ourselves in
since that summer's end
i know i promised not to tell,
but i hope that you can still call me your friend
and i wont let my emotions show
til all these autumn leaves turn into snow

If I Wake Up

i walked behind your after class, for a while had time to pass,
i know that sounds weird,
took time to see if you're the one in my fading distant dreams
of darkened faces where there should be someone
i waited til i saw your face to cower back in fear,
and turn the other way,
my whereabouts seem so unclear this unknown path has led us here,
i must've followed you all day
so while i'm here on this unfamiliar road
i guess i'll do what's sensible and follow it home,
but if you look back and grace me with one more glance
i'll drop my plans to go home and run away with you
if i wake up from this dream can you
forget to tell me that it wasn't real,
the things i love seemed so alive in you
the things that i would do to make this blurry dream
reality
we ran through forests in the night,
we never questioned what we might
be doubting in our minds,
i felt myself light up inside but flaming embers burned my eyes
i couldn't see but i made it through alright
the thought of you just standing there imprinted in my brain
i'll never feel this way again
we missed the final train out of our town,
we'll pass by buildings tear them down
so even time cannot mend them
while i fall into this deep sleep i'll let my mind wander,
i'll try to forget about what we had and how it's gone now,
i pray that you'll be missing me i'll be missing you as well,
you're the only one on my mind and i know that you can tell
