Tragic

I saw this tragedy
It was as deep as my decision to go home that evening
You would never believe what I saw
How could I ever even talk about it?
You'd never know you'd never understand how deep the silence crawls under my skin.
And I feel it, deep down into the tough bones.
I'll have you know.
I was desperate I was weak.
Was my decision not to speak the truth but when the truth hits the truth hurts.
But my side will be by your side.
In the dark, in the clouds, there is nothing but the sound of a tragedy.
Nothing's worse but only time will tell.

Distance

I stayed away I couldn't explain myself.
You took me okay to where I thought I could be okay for once.
And I couldn't stay.
I could never stay.
I made it clear that I would never feel like this again.
And I'm selfish and you're a liar.
How could you ever make me feel this way?
But I was just a bullet on your shelf waiting to be fired and when I was fired I turned.
I turned and hit myself in the chest.
I just wanted it to hurt so much.
I saw the truth leave your eyes just like you left me standing without a thing in my pockets to catch a ride home.
I am forever stranded and alone.
Why am I always so stranded and alone?
But I was just a bullet on your shelf waiting to be fired and when I was fired I turned.
I turned and hit myself in the chest.
I just wanted it to hurt so much.
I stayed away. I couldn't explain myself.
You took me away to were I thought I could be okay.
But tell me.
Tell me.
What is the difference in the distance tonight?

Better

Out of all the things you wanted to say, you had to lie straight through your teeth.
Ripped through the bones that made you weak, I had nothing but those words to keep.
And I think I know what I've done wrong but you should know you've been wrong as well.
I hope we're better.
I hope we're better.
You were so unexpected.
But then everything you said you were, was everything you wish you weren't.
And everything you said and wrote well it tore me apart.

Fine

What is sincerity?
What is meant to be?
I've been holding onto someone I never even wanted to see in a person such as myself.
I'm always questioning the person that I am.
I need the darkness.
Close my eyes for a second and be at rest and find peace.
Gone from everything around you in just a moment, in just a second that I need.
But I've been fine.
And I've been fine.
And lately I've been wondering how I got here and I've been asking you for your help because I'm miserable.
And you can ask anyone, "don't you have enough?" but I've come to understand it's not about what you have it's about what you mean.
And all I want is for you to scream in my ear that,
I don't mean nothing.
But I've been fine
And I've been fine

Cruel

You just sat there contemplating everything.
And it's a cruel world but I still love it.
And you just sat there contemplating everything.
And it's a cruel world but I still love it.
You just sat there contemplating everything and it's a cruel world but I still love it.
And it's a cruel world but I still love it.
Just like I still love you.
