A darkened depth, a roaring sorrow
today I see you, though you're gone tomorrow
a vibrate glow, your smile projects
a beating heart, with no regrets
hard and lonely, a road we know
we're never ready, but here we go
a mental hunger, love neglected
high hopes, our love respected
always here, I hope you know
even with distance, I am your home
Biten broken and folded
Unwrapped Uncovered and unfolded
Absence of hurt and the holden
Never knowing  where is home
Except where it doesn't feel broken
Grasping this tiny token the once before made you feel golden.
Where did "all ears" go?
Whereabouts did all my friends go?
Where does anything even go?
  
I guess I pushed them all away
Suppose I closed my ears too tight
I thought I really saw the light
Thinking only I was right
Feeling like it's figured out
Things I know nothing about

Where did "all ears" go?
Whereabouts did all my friends go?
Where does anything even go?

They tell me Im a bit intense
My personality may need a rinse
My emotions might need a fence
Passion probably too intense
Eccentric like a peppermint

Where did "all ears" go?
Whereabouts did all my friends go?
Where does anything even go?

Seems like you cant catch a break
Swimming through life figuring out your place
Looking for signs or ears that's listening
While we all mindlessly stare into the distance
When it feels like, close friends hating
Just like when your loved ones are so persuaded.
Only when Im betrayed by these traitors
Ending as a soldier getting faded

I only want for you to thrive
When really I think youre my only right
While you strive to understand, I am working hard, but I could never be your brand and become disbarred
I hope you understand on this day
Even though we cant align in ways
While its all upside down some days
But we cant propagate what we dont create
When we give up
What are we giving up
On & on without righting the wrongs

Why do we do it?
Time's it's easy to leave
Times its easy to stay
Hanging on tight
Lets prolong that delay

When we give up
What are are we giving up
On & on without righting our wrongs

Driving looking through your rearview
Like your eyes cant see you
The lines on your face
The pressure life creates
An internal debate
With the person you hate

When we give up
What are we giving up
On & on without righting our wrongs

Feeling more life myself
with a little makeups help
Ego starting to melt in my mirror of self

When we give up
What are we giving up
On & on without righting our wrongs

Talking to someone and that's me
In a place of unease
Feeling trapped in a bad dream
But everyday its on stream
Truman show
Invite only
You see yourself and your phony

— The End —
