I'm crawling out from the darkness of my room I crept from a comatose my body barely knew In time i've learnt to adjust this sequence Each step to process I recall through words spat out in lost comfort, to the shortest tale that ended tall Is this my midlife? There's a frequent call But i'm stuck to a standstill with no force to carry on It feels like a comatose, but I can't get any kind of sleep Eighteen wasn't easy, 23 made it worse A year hung from detached lines and tables turned I used to wait out in the cold for a passing gaze or a shot right through the brain It felt like a comatose, but I can't get any kind of sleep Someday these connections will break And we find ourselves waiting to bleed from ink into our pale skins But we'll end up not feeling a thing

Dear trouble, don't pull me under 
I'm sick of feeling introvert, feeling any way but normal 
Stuck inside this vacant space in time 

Mass consumption then injects and stops me getting past
 Now i'm coughing up my mass blood, breaking tendencies in thought 
I always struggle with the idea my life is spent practicing my aim
 And it will always be the same

 Our fathers were patrons at an early age, what are we?
 Forever looking back on our own misery
 We fall into impossibles, Stumble through inevitables
 These situations were never going to make us work 

I have piles of unread texts, scripts and fictions I neglect 
It haunts me in my maturity, makes it hard to sleep 
I always struggle with the idea my life is spent practicing my aim

 Who measures achievement? Do we really need it? 
It's hardwired into our nature
 but our world isn't built on perfect stature 
We can't neglect our past but to dwell it makes us certain to spill 
And then our troubles will pull

 We're all stuck ten years behind
 Adult age with younger minds 
We all live a lifetime apart
, at different points with flying starts

Sleepy Eyed 03:02
I took it all far away 
Flew the nest left the cage 
To find my better person 
A spark of conversation 

And I tied all my grief 
in a knot and took it with me 
To be a lesser burden 
on the mind of someone

 A call with no response and I'm falling apart
 This broken misery unsung of a man come undone 
at the seams, ragged mane, broken teeth
 Staring through reflection from the tip to the soul 

'I was hoping you would let me come over tonight,
But you never cared you were always sleepy eyed' 
Now I feel the cold creep into my bones
 Youth tells our bodies to burn, but I feel splintered from a hundred nights
Still you're telling me to come back home

 Time is what I need, and if it's time that's causing me to reap 
then i'll come back home 
Silence broke in a hundred decibels of anger and fault 
With a drive to scared to stray from the lines of the road 

When I'm in a state to forgive 
For every honest mistake I tricked
 I'll come back home.
4.
I'm stuck in a verse 
Reciting every little detail to myself 
Looking for something honest between the words on the page 
Because there is only so much bitterness that I can take
 Or that I can endure 

Hands held tight shielding what we owe
 These nights spent in marking what is ours
 You're trust is misleading
You're honesty is fake for all to see 

Our best intentions spent 
And the sign will read do not resuscitate
 So for all that's left at stake we're counting out this one 
(There’s nothing we could have done)
 Calling a silence, we're treading the thorn
 
We're out of step with your song 
Broken chords that sound all wrong 
There's nothing to relate 
You're known to snap peoples necks and hurt the ones that would call you a friend 

Stop stop stop being so red in the face,
Is it love or lust? A small little face 
Where are you when you're needed the most 
Until there's nothing left you'll just pick out at my bones
 We're ready to begin,
 Why watch the walls when we could climb them instead? 
We laugh at danger, burning nightmare fuel 
But this segregation, your lack of encouragement 
We walk a great divide, 
A black hole full of lies.
