old ways

i used to be getting better at this
but now i'm sinking back into old ways
if you don't ask me something first
then i won't say anything at all
cause it's so hard for me to open my mouth
and have something actually come out
old ways
old ways
they call it small talk but it's so big
it weighs down on my chest
it feels like everyone else is filled to the brim
with words and words and words
and i have nothing to give
old ways
old ways
old ways
cause it's so hard for me to open my mouth
and have something actually come out
so i guess for now i'll be stuck in my old ways
old ways
so i guess for now i'll be stuck in my old ways
old ways
old ways
so i guess for now i'll be stuck in my old ways

see through

round the corner i spot someone i know
and the dread wells up inside
i'd actually really like to talk to you
but then my feet just run away in the other direction
cause i dont like the pressure
of having to say something
i don't want to talk
or for you to hear me
so i'd rather just be on my own
alone, transparent, see through
so i just stay out of their way
i think things but i don’t say
they keep themselves locked away
i try to be see through
my hands shake and i keep my head down
i try to hide cause it's scary being seen
it's not like you’ve got any bad intentions
but i just don't want the attention on me
'oh you're awful quiet, are you feeling ok?'
well yeah, i'm doing great i just don't know what to say
my mind wipes itself blank
i'm not trying to be mean
i'm just very nervous and don’t want to be seen
so i just stay out of their way
i think things but i don’t say
they keep themselves locked away
i stand beside but don’t talk
three steps behind when i walk
i try to be see through
i know its irrational but i find this so hard
but i'm better than i was and i'll be better than i am
at least i've managed it this far
so i just stay out of their way
i think things but i don’t say
they keep themselves locked away
i stand beside but don’t talk
three steps behind when i walk
i try to be see through
it's not as easy as i thought
i guess i've always been see through
makes me avoid even trying to talk
and i just keep being see through

my journey through the trees
the leaves are shaking
and so am i
i stumble over roots
and the trees start to fade
no leaves anymore
just hazy green and brown
my vision is fuzzy
and i'm scared
but i'll find my way out of here
i will get out
i will be brave
the sky turns white and mist flows
and i head into the nothingness
a black cat walks beside me in the shadows
the cat tells me there's nothing here
she didn't expect me to come this far
she lured me in with a world i could explore
and it worked
walked right into her trap
she thinks that i can't do it
but i will escape
i'll find my way out of here
i will get out
i will be brave
she thinks that i can't do it
but i will escape
i'll find my way out of here
i will get out
i will be brave
i will be brave
as we wander on a pink shape comes into view
it looks exactly like
the place i came from
'we walked around the world' said the cat
the tiny world she made for me
well, it's big enough for her
we approach the house
and the world starts to swallow itself
the fog covers everything
it tears apart the garden
the pink bricks
it's all disintegrating
disintegrating
it's all disintegrating
i grab the cat and run
run to the house
i have to go in and face her
it's my only way out
it's my only way out of here
i have to go in
to the house
to the house

the summer is going to end
on a rainy day like this
he packed his house and left her
now she will stay awake
and wait for him to come
she might now wait forever
i'll find my way to the sea
i'll run before it ends
the sun is going down
he's saying goodbye, bye, bye
he is the summer end
she sees him run away
outside her kitchen window
her tears will stay awake
they made this rainy day come
she is the winter weather
i'll find my way to the sea
i'll run before it ends
he said in the note he left her
the sun is going down
he's saying goodbye, bye bye
the summer loves the winter

shadow colours
03:30
|

faltering feet, i need to keep my head
a still beating heart cautiously leading the dead
for once there's hope on every ghostly face
trudging to their freedom
through this stagnant place
they call out in their shadow colours
in the
night
their whole faces are shadow covered
but i’ve got
the knife
they’ll see your worst
screaming from the sky
be careful
it’s worse if you lie
but tell them stories
they’ll let you out
follow them through
and float up to the clouds
follow them through
and float up to the
if you want to see the world again
then you should
try
you can go through the darkest tunnel
and find the
light
