Entire Universe

Maybe it was long ago
or yesterday
I look up
and I feel so small.
I look up and I see
the milky way.
I think
about when I had it all
I remember
being the size
of the entire universe
I recall
when a distant star
was not that far
Looking back
on a dark void full of
nothingness
I still feel
the spark that set it off
It's such
an amazing view
even if
it's hard to see.
Take a look
there's nothing new.
There's just no doubt
You're still a part of me
and I'm a part of you
And nothing will change
'cause nothing has to change
but nothing will really change
except the space between us
the space between us.

Forget Me Not

As I hold on to this Forget-Me-Not
It brings back the memories it set.
I can only hope and wonder
Have you forgetting me, yet?

Our silent weapons
Our silent machines
Where are they now?
They are unseen...
Our silent weapons
Our silent machines
Acquire the target
They are unseen...
Why do we give them so much power?
They do everything that we say.
They run all day at any hour
But they never, never go away
No matter what we say
No matter how we pr y
Our silent weapons
Our silent machines
And all the horrors,
They are unseen...

The Same For Me
04:31
|

It all looks different now.
I can see it now.
Everything was so unclear.
Confusion caused my self to fear.
I didn't know what all was there.
I didn't know I could've cared.
It was the same for me.
It was the same.
It was the same for me.
Was it the same for you?
Was it true?

Haunts Me

I'll never hear those words again
They repeat ….without an end
They Haunt Me
They Haunt Me,
I'll never say those words again
They repeat ….without an end
They Haunt Me
They Haunt Me,
Will we ever know if this is real?
Or just another layer of our dreams?
We know everything there is to know
but it still isn't at all what it seems.
It's never what it seems.
I'll never hear those words again
Yet they repeat ….without an end
They Haunt Me
They Haunt Me,
I'll never say those words again
They repeat ….without an end
They Haunt Me
They Haunt Me,
Will we ever know if this is real?
Or just another lair of our dreams?
We can know everything there is to know about this
but it still isn't at all what it seems.
It's never what it seems.
I'll never hear those words again
They repeat without an end
They Haunt Me
They Haunt Me,
Though I'll never say these words again
They repeat without an end
They Haunt Me
They Haunt Me,

Ordinary Moment

It doesn't need to hurry
It doesn't need to wait
something will happen sometime
but that's not fate
It's just an ordinary moment
It's just an ordinary moment
It doesn't change the story
It doesn't need a song
It doesn't really feel good
It doesn't feel that wrong
It's just an ordinary moment
It's just an ordinary moment
It doesn't need to feel good
It doesn't need to hurt
It doesn't want ot be there
It doesn't want to desert.
It's just an ordinary moment
It's just an ordinary moment
There is no revelation
it doesn't have a thought
There will be no release
And we won't get caught.
It's just an ordinary moment
It's just an ordinary moment
It doesn't change the story
It doesn't need a song
It doesn't really feel good
It doesn't feel that wrong
It's just an ordinary moment
It's just an ordinary moment

Said and Done
03:29

It's easy to ignore
You'll never walk through that door
while I grope in the dark
to find clue
I guess you can it's true
I never really wanted you
but there's nothing I ever wanted more
It's said and Done
It's said and Done
It's said and Done
Crawling insects on the run
somethings never see the sun
this is how we are
forced to exist
So what, if our kiss
like everything, is meaningless
That's what makes it so much fun
It's said and Done
It's said and Done
It's said and Done

They say they want a second opinion
when they really just want to change their mind
even if they don't get what they wanted
everything still works out fine
and we're running
we're running 'gainst the wall
and we're running
when we should just say 'fuck it all'
