can’t keep silent
can’t keep up with your sincerity
misunderstood, sure
delusional, maybe
can’t read you like a book
so i open you up for good
to be honest
i don’t even know if you look at me
sneak glances at me
would wait a few minutes for me
wanna hear, don’t wanna hear
what your answer is
what your intentions are
i can’t really tell if you have feelings for me
or are you just glaring at me
tell me your thoughts
first, lasting impression of me
i want you to hold, not touch me
want to keep your eyes locked on me
so tell me honestly with honesty
do you have feelings for me
if not just say so
since i can’t keep up with your sincerity
wanna hear
what your answer is
what your intentions are
to be honest

tattoos are permanent
thats how it used to be
just like how my love used to be for you
now its just a afterimage of what used to be
tattoos are permanent
they hurt, they mean something, and —
tattoos are permanent
thats how it used to be
just like how my love used to be for you
now its just a afterimage of what used to be
tattoos were permanent
thats how it is now
just like my love for you
not present tense but the past
were
just like how you were playing with those
other girls
were
just like how you played with me
my heart and my feelings are up to date
presently, the past is the past
tattoos are permanent
thats how it used to be
just like how my love used to be for you
now its just a afterimage of what used to be
tattoos are permanent
they hurt, they mean something, and —
i mean that’s how it was for me

we belong together
like a pair of shoes
if one gets lost
we’re both useless
do you get it now
we got to work together
that’s how a relationship works
now thinking back
there were people around you
like loose laces
tryna hurt you and stopping you
from going to places
to me
that’s where you belong

getting too bashful at the little things you do
just a bit pridefully, inviting you
to the heart of the sea where lies my soul
as light refracts off waves
crashing as their told
welcoming ourselves in
we walked deep in the marine sleet
soft corals littering our feet
stepping on shells of the old
it comes to mind my fellow souls
that it hurts, my heart
isn’t this where you tell me you love me?
as the frigid crisp air welcomed me
or was that you who embraced me?
similar to you who found you’re way here
the vast winds won’t give in
so lets build a castle of sand
like a scene from a movie..
oh no it was washed away
with my pumping heart
as my love for you fades away
into the midnight sky studded with stars

there are rules that we follow
for us not to stray
for us not to believe
for us not to think
for us not to betray
for us not to wander
for us not to desire
these rules that we follow
thats restricts our mighty fires
makes us uniform as one
underneath the shining sun
but who is to say they make us lose our worth
we all have control over our actions n beliefs
just choose not to
for the society that preys on the odd

watching you
is like the sun in my eyes
coloring my view
as your scent fills me
smelling like a mystery
so please tell me why
i won’t mind
you being the grand prize
at the end of time
at the end of time
maybe i won’t mind
but get ready to hide
from this inevitable tie
since its fate
you better be
ready to die for me
say your prayers cuz
i’ll **** for you
tell your friends you’re busy
if not i’ll leave you limping
i can not deny
that i won’t mind
if you’re the grand prize
at the end of time
at the end of time
maybe i won’t mind
if you call my name
a couple more times

save me from this horror
this nightmare
where the rats live
where the trash stacks
save me from this world
where people gather
where i was found a bother
save me from this cage
where life begins
and where life ends
save me from memories
that creates fabricated realities
that makes the world a whole lot brighter
save me from time
that slowly makes its way
that quickly ends things
save me from this place
that i don’t know
that i call home
