we’ve been so close Yet so alone it might have never shown we spoke but we never opened and every inch of rain a relief to flood our slow tongues with some movement I‘m catching a breath that I held for as long as I could I feel so sad in my head it all made so much sense now I stumble and stumble again and like a small branch on the river side I don’t know where to go or where to aim tonight no current no flow just the water beneath our feet and damn it’s so cold I see our breath foggy and I have nothing to say to you no more we‘ve been so close yet so alone grow up / nothing‘s changed grow out / nothing‘s changed

nothing 03:17
I took all my chances wasting time in the back of my mind and while I am searching not noticing the worst is in front of my eyes I thought what lies beyond should be so profound turns out to be nothing nothing /nothing less than nothing and those truths in your mind are not mine at all short weak attempts to mean something hearts end at the shoreline withered and forgotten culprit is the unknown withered and forgotten these differences are way to harsh to understand believe me I am not the one you think I am I have never been one bit like you show me the way to the water and I drink up your lies
3.
just one word like nails to my guts you keep talking and I hold my breath I feel worthless and you shook my ground with the blink of an eye and you don’t seem to care you take it all back say sorry one last time didn’t mean to hurt me I know so I run to a place where my head can reside in peace where the flaws you see don’t seem to mind at all uncloud my mind tell me I’m fine and then you speak your mind and all I see is ugly all so different just seconds ago now my whole world has shifted you took it all gave me empty hands you need me more I need this all to end so I run to that place
4.
it was the last days of November when I lost count and track of the times you’d asked for a favour and I never texted back and again it took me ages to come up with any lie why I never had enough time to find your absent smile and I can’t be there to fill the void inside your head to make you feel good about yourself crack me up turn my will tell me how I have to feel though you don’t know everything stranger friend you will win and I can’t be there to make you go out less alone to make you feel less bad about yourself and I can’t be there to fill the void inside your head to make you feel good about yourself „It’s not worth having a lot of friends in your life if they’re just gonna be really messed up to you and stuff like that. If they don’t stop even when you say something, honestly you need to distance yourself from them. It’ll bring down your happiness, and you know „hey this really bothers me when you do this“ Don’t be afraid to cut off the friendship. One day I wanna have the courage to be honest.“ and maybe it’s me and my expectations I can’t express but maybe it’s you overdoing everything and I can’t believe in you but then I grab my phone and say „How ’bout tomorrow at noon?“

too heavy 03:44
I’ve been trying to fight back tears and sleep I’ve been tying to keep my heart in my head but the burning on my tongue was too heavy I‘ve been trying to keep my head steady too heavy I swallowed some water instead of telling you anything I’ve been trying to keep my hands in my back pockets so you won’t see my fingers shake as I speak but the burning in my palms was too heavy I’ve been trying to keep my hands steady and after all these years I’ve wasted I don’t know I feel like I’m nothing and after all these years I’ve wasted I don’t know you make me feel nothing and after all these years I’ve wasted I don’t know I feel like I’m nothing and after all these years I’ve wasted I don’t know I feel nothing
6.
I told you different but I fall apart it’s dark and I can see they told us we’ll get used to where we are it’s dark and I can see and I have found love where I haven’t found you and I have found good where I haven’t found you and I slipped off your sight and I know it’s over you remember me only when you’re at your worst can’t stand the calm in this room detaching your old lies breathing in try not to cough and try not to show myself I told you different but I fall apart it’s dark and I can see they told us we’ll get used to where we are It’s dark and I can see
7.
cut it open see through is the new black and oh no how could I just do that tell you all that I have always felt but not said and after I came clear just emptiness in me panicking to sleep overthinking what you mean when you said thanks for your honesty but I needed comfort the things I always felt but not said it will hurt whatever tell you everything I have always felt we’re not meant forever when you said „we’re not meant forever“ it will hurt whatever
8.
well I'm stuck I kept a promise I never made though your voice seems lighter now I keep repeating all my mistakes and I'm stuck expect me to fall off this pile of stones that my chest couldn't keep inside so I tied them around my shoes and all these years to make it better and to show you right they are gone and all these times I thought my actions they would change your mind they are gone as the rain takes my sight again and the sand's wet beneath my feet tell myself I am worth something cause your eyes show me different and all I want to be is just fine and right here and all I want to be is just fine but not me and I will make will make it up to you I just don't know how and I'm stuck I just don't know how

your silence says it all painted your bathroom floor with my brains oh not again showed you what’s in there and now I need to get rid of it all and I forgot everything I felt for you and I don’t know how to find what’s lost in you losing the sense of it all your silence says it all you eyes roll back your shoulders fall disappointing avoiding me windows and curtains closed where did our lives go so wrong
