Side A

lyrics

My favorite past time is soft kisses in the rain
I long to meet the man whose image is reflected in the window pane
No options left, the answers didn't work
So it leads me to believe that something else has been at work
I've lost all control I'm so confused
I'm gonna jump off the edge of this open wound
I've been so consumed, with thoughts of death
All I've managed to gain was a lost of breath it's like
Where do you, move in life
When the only house for sale is being sold by suicide
They shut the doors, and changed the locks
So I'm gonna find the exit with the safety off, nah
I maybe wrong but, I maybe right
All I know is that I'm dying trying to stay alive
And I admire the hurt, but I'm tired of fighting the urge
This time I let the silence be heard

Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
The silent screams
Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
The silent screams

Who am I? Is the question I ask
But the answer always leaves me second guessing my past
So I guess that I'm back to step one but
Better yet, I'm confident that I never left
It's a forever quest
And, clearly it's hard
Trying to find a way around these insecurity guards
I was here to be scarred
My flesh consumes the truth of my past regrets, mistakes, and future blues
So what do I do? I wish I had the recipe for all the trouble I brew
I keep it humble, but it's a struggle to do
Cause I don't want to get thru life just by stumbling thru
It's the same old story, nothing is new
I've cluttered my view, and so, my judgement is skewed
I've had enough, of fighting to lose, I'm tired and bruised
I'm gonna take the silence off mute

Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
The silent screams
Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices
The silent screams

See I've came along way but I feel I'm still losing
Cause I'm a dichotic caught up in this reallusion
I'd love to say I'm out my mind
But I've been steady drowning, I'm going down without a fight
And I ain't giving up
I'm just letting go, forget a boat
This sea of thought beholds a depth I've never known it's better ohhhh
The desire to sink, I'm tired of me, I'm gonna let the silence be free
All I know, is I've accepted the pain
I walk slow, when taking steps in the rain
I wanna go, play a friendly game of hide and seek
But the world I'm in is uninterested in finding me
