Everything’s broken, shattered, Scattered completely asunder. And I’m left as a steppe mat grass. Only crows go round and thunder. Only crows go round, and their wings Chase out my reckless life. I should run after her, but I’m beat. I can’t catch up with her. I’m lowlife. I’m lowlife. I can’t hand her back. I would apologise! I'd confess! Everything went amiss with us. It’s a shame that we'll get no chance.

No chance
A little attention is all I ask for Just a smile to be sent my way I've yearned it for what seems like centuries This crush I have hasn't gone away If only you felt the same And gave me a chance I'd take down all my walls for you You'd never again have a cold hand My best friend tells me to move on And I'm sure she knows what's best But the chemistry we share is undeniable And my thoughts run without rest And I know that you are straight You've made yourself explicitly clear I know I read too much into it I'm the reason that my heart tears Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning Because I can't catch my breath But drowning in my emotions Sometimes feels the best... I'm trying to move on because I know for sure I'M TOO YOUNG to feel this way for someone So instead I sit in my own silence around you And bite down on my tongue

Bottomless Pit of Feelings
I still care too much for a shadow that had once loved me.

Shadow
She lays in her bed feeling like she's laying on cement. Nothing feels good anymore. It all hurts, it all feels so out of reach. Just out of reach. Everything is always just out of reach. Why is everything just out of reach? Why does she do everything right and get nothing in return? Maybe it's not right. She gets her hopes up. She really needs to stop doing that, it creates unrealistic expectations and those are ideas that she just cannot get herself stuck on. Is this the punishment for trying to be happy? She doesn't understand what she has done wrong, she doesn't understand what she needs to do right. She no longer wants to do right. People are belittling her. People are telling her how she should act. Her strings are being pulled left and right, down and up all at once. She ripped a long time ago. She sits there with a blank stare. No longer caring, she just has to agree with everyones orders and what everyone wants from her. Her life is not her own. Has it ever been her own? Will it ever be? Then it brings up the question, but does it matter? She tries to speak but they grab it out of thin air and shake their heads at her. Her words are not valid. She is not valid. She will never be valid. It's no longer just out of reach. It's completely out of her hands. They have locked it in a box and hid the key. She has no chance here. She never has, she never will.

Out of Reach
Chances are I won't get any chance to  make my dreams true So I'll rather stay in my daydreaming trance away from the worlds cold

no chance
I found the woman I adore Wandering through head shops and record stores Glowing eyes behind her sunshades My depression my melancholy fades Tattoo parlors and rock shows Are all I've come to know My punk, gypsy, hippie queen More beautiful than anything I've seen But romance doesn't happen this way I'm left without the words to say I choke on my intentions and fears Past pain echoes that I still hear All my doubts break me down Stuck on the girl I never found
