Am I trying to forget?
Or am I trying to remember?
Which one will I regret?
Which one will give an answer?
I have nothing but respect
For your efforts and adventures
Would you tell me
If I’m trying too hard?
I try to embrace
those fleeting moments
when all I see
is the light in this world
What am I trying to protect?
Why am I trying to defend you?
Have efforts gone neglected?
How can I shiver when I feel so warm?
…Oh practice breathing
Think about how it all works
You won’t tell me
If I’m trying too hard?
> You either call it quits
> or keep on moving
>and they both hurt
>and they both hurt
Have you ever had a rat intervention?
What happens when all the mystery is gone?
Is that when we die?
It’s the difference between
a tree farm and a deep forest
Why don’t you use inflection when you talk to me?
A taste of progress
Tied to the armrest
I am trying to keep this down
If my stomach can hold on
Are you trying to stick around?
There is still time
let’s play a game of
Who’s the most worried about it
not keeping enough range
from the fire pit on Edwin street
> Maybe that’s why there's
> no denial of your misery
The motion sensor light
It comes back on when I shift
A short moment
And it’s back off again
I am trying to keep this down
I am trying to hold on (on)
You escape into your mind (mind)
There is still time
> I can … be dishonest
> To keep you here

What happens if I vomit in the river?
Will the current take all the pain away?
Narrow banks clog the arteries, I can
always try and find something nice to say
I am embracing a giant pile of guilt
Anything’s better than standing still
I’ll let you go (someday)
I can’t say it’s all in the timing,
‘cause I’ve tried every time
I’ll change my cadence ever slightly,
> least I can say that I tried
Look for your heart
It’s a reminder of decay
The fear (and I quote)
“does not deserve to fucking stay”
Keep your, Distance, this vile
Piles about to blow
I fear that upstream is the
only way to go
(Chorus)
Say you can’t believe your eyes
Try a reframe
Say you can’t believe your eyes
No, take your time
Oh why would I care?
Hep!
I’m walking up to your high throne
I’ll pull the pedestal out
I feel the strength in my backbone
‘Cause I pulled the pedestal out

>Let’s see what’s in line
And what’s pulling us apart
How are those vital signs?
It’s been a while since my heart’s beat
I see power lines
Connect my heart back to the grid
> Is this worth a decade’s rust
I’m sure you won’t ask
Conversation blurs
(you’re alright, out of sight)
Wish I understood
(I’ll be fine, pass the time)
I don’t get that
*you can’t find the nerve to kill yourself
I stole all the ammunition
and sold it to your friends
they’re mine now*
What do I have to say
to make this go perfectly,
Swimmingly, confidently
confrontation hurts
(you were right, out of site)
Wish I understood
(I’ll be fine, pass the time)
Agitation grows
(wonder when we will make amends)
I don’t think that
I am listening close
So you think I’m to blame?
(Do you want to wait inside?)
Like a clever projectile
Has flown your way
(I don’t think I’ll mind)
Open up wide
Open up to someone else again
(My heart is laying prone)
A second set of hearts
Will make your burden melt
(It’s comfortable)
second guess your move
(Cold hard floor)
Make your brain a better place to live

Take my bribe
I just want to go inside
Cause if it’s this tricky
To look half busy
Then I will decline
Take my knife, fray my line
Make it hard for me to climb
Cause if it’s so simple
To keep things civil
Then I will decline
Cover up your vital signs
You can always wait outside
I was too distracted
To see what happened
Now I can’t decline
Wait outside
Will you tell me if he’s alive?
If his blood won’t boil
Beneath our soil
I’d be surprised
Wait outside
Thought I left a note
Thought I’d been careful
I forget how convincing I can be
I still don’t know what broke
Shaking out the image
Sure has been quite difficult for me
I won’t hold the rope
I can’t be the anchor
But I’ll face the current and it’s wrath
There will be no more jokes
I haven’t found the answers
And I somehow doubt they’re in the past
