Medusa
Call me medusa, I am a cyclone
Every heart I touch turns to stone
What I thought was happiness turned into a tangled mess
I swear it was not all a lie
You weren't just a passerby
My fingerprints like a tattoo
I hate what I've done to you
We have history and chemistry a dash of hope and jealousy
A mountain that we've hiked across, so much gained and so much lost
A future that is still unknown, standing on this cornerstone
Of sensitive memories, intimate realities
And I hate the way you love me
Every word you've said consumes me
And at one time it was lovely
But now things have gotten ugly
If I could tell you how I fell in love
after we had broken up
It'd explain why my hearts a mess
Why i gave much less
Let's talk with honesty
Give you some clarity
Finally let the truth come out
Free your mind of constant doubt
I hate the way you love me
Every word you've said consumes me
And at one time it was lovely
But now things have gotten ugly
Oh but if I ever had a second chance
I can't say I wouldn't do it it all over again
I hate the way you love me
Every word you've said consumes me
And at one time it was lovely
But now things have gotten ugly

Nobody Else
Some people call it a lonely path
It might feel that way but it's all an act
It's all an act
The truth is at the end of the day
You're the only one left on that stage
Dependence has its ups and downs
But time will tell who sticks around
Cuz if you want me understand: I don't need nobody else
I was hesitant at first to let you in
But you said that you had the same goals and then
You turned around yea you switched around
I opened up and let you deep inside
Left nothing of my heart to run and hide
I let you see my deepest dreams
But you only agreed because you wanted me
But if you want me understand: I don't need nobody else
I'm sorry that I can't be what you want, I tried and tried but it's never worked
I had hoped we could work something out,
I'd like to stay friends If that's what it's about
But I won't be fooled again because if you want me you'll have to understand
I don't need nobody else

6 AM
6 in the morning
Tape player humming
I sit in my car in silence
You wrote me a song
Told me you were wrong
You were not done trying
I breathe it all in,
Goosebumps on my skin
Should I go back to you?
I breathe it all out
Knowing there’s no doubt
I’m never putting myself through
Through that again, no I’m a different person
Through that again, I’m finally done hurting
Through that again, I will never be your burden, no I’m never letting you in
Through that again, this I know is certain
You said you fucked up
Caused by a build up
Of emotions you could not control
I read your teary eyes
That seemed to crystallize
In realization of a broken soul
I breathe it all in
Let my head spin
With drunk memories involving you
I breathe it all out
Knowing there’s no doubt
I’m never putting myself through
Through that again, no I’m a different person
Through that again, I’m finally done hurting
Through that again, I will never be your burden, no I’ll never let you in
Through that again, this I know is certain
Of course there are reasons to stay
I’m so used to living in your gray
But a companion didn’t give you control
So you broke my heart just to fix your soul
I’m never putting myself through
That again, no I’m a different person
Through that again, I’m finally done hurting
Through that again, I will never be your burden, no I’m never letting you in
Through that again, this I know is certain

Underlying Meanings
It’s been six months since I felt that way
When everything was perfect and I thought you were my fate
When being with you finally made me feel alright
But now you only think in black and white
And now I’m unsure of who I want to be
Scared of missing out on what could make me feel happy
Playing Russian roulette with you is all I know
A different day, a different mood, that’s how it usually goes
Oh, and I’m trying to get past all these lines
And I’m dying to see past all these signs
Cuz every time I look at you I see a history
Rejection, affection, yeah it’s a mystery
These underlying meanings
Are you my end-all or are you just one step?
Am I caught up in this crazy tangled spider web?
Am I hurting or helping, we’re always in this war
Fighting everything we have till there is nothing more
Oh, and I’m trying to get past all these lines
And I’m dying to see past all these signs
Cuz every time I look at you I see a history
Rejection, affection, yeah it’s a mystery
These underlying meanings
No, I don’t want to give you up
Yeah, I’m trying my hardest I know that it’s love
Oh, and I’m trying to get past all these lines
And I’m dying to see past all these signs
Cuz every time I look at you I see a history
Rejection, affection, yeah it’s a mystery
These underlying meanings

Human
I'm not sure what I did
All I know is I'm alone
I thought it'd be easier than this
But I keep missing someone
It's not that I can't get over you
But rather I miss the loving arms
Of someone who loved me
Holding me tight keeping me warm
I know what I said in the heat of the moment
But I am human too
And emotions remind me of you
I just have so much time to myself
To overthink and overwhelm
But I'm human too
If I was being honest
I would say I've lied to myself
Everything I've ever wanted
Came from love from someone else
Now I'm left to my own devices
No lover, no friend no help
I keep finding excuses to run back to you
So I'm not left by myself
I know what I said in the heat of the moment
But I am human too
And emotions remind me of you
I just have so much time to myself
To overthink and overwhelm
But I'm human too

Amplified
It's funny how the seasons change
And soon our minds are awoken
It's funny how the leaves still fall
Every year, nothing's changed at all
It seems these days we all are lost
Retracing our steps on these paths we've crossed
A tangled mess of what's fake and real
A foggy outline of how I feel
It's funny how it seems so bad
But it's just stuck inside your head
It's all a game we have to play
Our minds, our foes, a world of gray
And what you've lost you'll never find
When it's all stuck inside your mind
A kaleidoscope of thoughts inside
Every feeling so amplified
It's funny how those rainy days leave you in bed staring
Into a wall that's still so white
Nothing has changed, but you're in headlights
And what you've lost you'll never find
When it's all stuck inside your mind
A kaleidoscope of thoughts inside
Every feeling so amplified
I feel like I'm floating over myself
I feel like I might become someone else
There are no tears or smiles to define my state
Just a blank mind to contemplate
And what you've lost you'll never find when it's all stuck inside your mind
A kaleidoscope of thoughts inside
Every feeling so amplified

Dear Me

Dear me
Dear me this is your letter
I'll write to let go
You're probably 5 feet underground
Feeling slightly upside down
I know at times it may look bleak, but don't be afraid
You had to rip yourself apart
To finally be amazed
You cannot find yourself until there's no going back
Don't look in the rear view mirror, there's only broken glass
Good luck in the future love, there's no other way but up
You had to break the bone to heal what was there before
Dear me, this is your letter
I am trying to see
How many nights you were so distraught
You cried yourself to sleep
Answers found on old cassettes
Revealed what hadn't happened yet
I knit my own tapestry
Sewed together different parts of me
You cannot find yourself until there's no going back
Don't look in the rear view mirror, there's only broken glass
Good luck in the future love, there's no other way but up
You had to break the bone to heal what was there before
I will make broken beautiful
I will make weak look strong
I will make fear my vehicle
I'll embrace my wrongs
I will not be just a flower
I will not be picked or plucked
I am more than just powerful
I am better off
You cannot find yourself until there's no going back
Don't look in the rear view mirror, there's only broken glass
Good luck in the future love, there's no other way but up
You had to break the bone to heal what was there before

I Won't

I Won't
I guess I could not care
I should probably let go
I guess I could pretend
I never knew you at all
It might make you happy
I could say I'd be fine
I could say that you didn't catch me
At a bad time
If I knew this wasn't right
I would give up now and sacrifice
What we have,
But I won't
I could say I wasn't into you,
I'd be saying everything but the truth
So I can't
And I won't
If I was being naive
I would let down my guard
There'd be no more excuses
This shouldn't be so hard
This logic is starting to fail
There are no reasons to say
That this shouldn't work out now
I keep pushing away
I keep pushing away
If I knew this wasn't right
I would give up now and sacrifice
What we have,
But I won't
I could say I wasn't into you,
I'd be saying everything but the truth
So I can't
And I won't
Let go of you
I'm scared to believe in a future where there could be you and me
What if I come out hurt?
What if it doesn't work?
What if I'm wrong, but what if it's right?
What if it's meant to be, what if it brings me peace?
All along its been you
If I knew this wasn't right
I would give up now and sacrifice
What we have,
But I won't
I could say I wasn't into you,
I'd be saying everything but the truth
So I can't
And I won't

One time
I thought that I was fine
I took a step away
I thought that maybe I was done feeling this way
I thought that it was over
I thought that I’d moved on
But this happens whenever you are gone
One time, I guess it’s just a number
Two times, I guess I’m just too stubborn
Three times I’m lying to myself what I’m doing to my life, I swear that I’m trying
Too far, I guess its cause I’m lonely
Same scar, deepening slowly
We are in this crazy cycle what I’m doing to my life I swear that I’m trying
Trying, trying
I thought that I was different
That I could stand alone
But all my good intentions have been overthrown
I thought if I was careful
I could avoid the truth
But somehow I crawling back to you
One time, I guess it’s just a number
Two times, I guess I’m just too stubborn
Three times I’m lying to myself what I’m doing to my life, I swear that I’m trying
Too far, I guess its cause I’m lonely
Same scar, deepening slowly
We are in this crazy cycle what I’m doing to my life I swear that I’m trying
Trying, trying
I can try to reason and push it all back down
It doesn’t matter anyhow
The path of least resistance has torn me all apart
And worn a valley straight through my heart
One time, two times, three times
One time, I guess it’s just a number
Two times, I guess I’m just too stubborn
Three times I’m lying to myself what I’m doing to my life, I swear that I’m trying
Too far, I guess its cause I’m lonely
Same scar, deepening slowly
We are in this crazy cycle what I’m doing to my life I swear that I’m trying

Reverie
I’m going, crossing, never looking back
These trails I’ve been taking, I’m getting off track
Stuck in the darkness trying to find my way out
Using all my energy on unforgiving doubt
I’ve been walking through these days with my fate unknown
Trying to please the ones around me just to make a home
Closing off my ears, trying to survive
When I know that it’s impossible when I’ve been feeling blind
I’ll find a way, I’ll be okay
They’re not mistakes just memories
Color came from gray, it’s better this way
Lost in, lost in reverie
I’ve been searching for an answer in someone else’s mind
Trying to research personality through mankind
Hoping for a miracle or something close
Ended giving up everything and feeling exposed
I’ll find a way, I’ll be okay
They’re not mistakes just memories
Color came from gray, it’s better this way
Lost in, lost in reverie
I’ve been so confused
Didn’t know what to do
I’ll find a way, I’ll be okay
They’re not mistakes just memories
Color came from gray, it’s better this way
Lost in, lost in reverie
