I know what you say as you say it, I don’t need repeating This is reiterating, I'm already leaving, I’m already gone What I know, draws me in What I know, brings me home Reaching through the expression You are wearing on your face Grasping for a meaningful way to explain my place I know what you say as you say it, I don’t need repeating This is reiterating, I'm already leaving, I’m already gone What I know, draws me in What I hold, means to an end I only know, it ends the race Reaching through the expression You are wearing on your face If I had asked your opinion in the first place Familiar lines exchanged with others And at least twice between us last night Unfamiliar times, better forgotten We never learn, carry forward I know what you say as you say it, I don’t need repeating This is reiterating, I'm already leaving, I’m already gone What I know, draws me in What I know, brings me home What I hold, means to an end I know what you say as you say it, I don’t need repeating This is reiterating, I'm already leaving, I’m already gone What I hold, brings me home

I’ve seen this before Behavior unchanged Comfort in patterns Variety of ways Meet something new, social ties removed Flipping a switch, I fold into this Likely a burden, never asking if Too much for my person, keep insulated I’ve seen this before Behavior unchanged Comfort in patterns Variety of ways Meet something new, social ties removed Flipping a switch, I fold into this Tend to project expectations of Obligations on friends and loved ones Likely a burden, never asking if Too much for my person, keep insulated

Years lost considering adjustments for separating Excuse myself for pain felt by someone else Waiting, I know now It wasn’t meant but I found my way out Waiting, I know now It wasn’t meant but I found my way out Always asking for you to tell me, tired of stalling, I’m hesitating Always asking for you to tell me “only if growing also means changing” Years lost considering adjustments for separating Excuse myself for pain felt by someone else Waiting, I know now Time stolen in the shadow of doubt It wasn’t meant, still I saw my way out Always asking for you to tell me, tired of stalling, I’m hesitating Always asking for you to tell me “only if growing also means changing” Tying out difference of ambitions, different headings and different situations Tying out difference of ambitions, different headings redirecting situations Years lost considering adjustments for separating Excuse myself for pain felt by someone else Waiting, I know now It wasn’t meant but I found my way out Waiting, I know now It wasn’t meant but I found my way out Always asking for you to tell me, tired of stalling, I’m hesitating Always asking for you to tell me “only if growing also means changing” Tying out difference of ambitions, different headings and different situations Tying out difference of ambitions, different headings redirecting situations

Digging it out was all I could do I’m the waste of time you refuse Splinter embedded Often ignored risking infection Over the years, I tried to deny That I had found a reason to try Feel like I know you, do you need a ride? Push the trash to the floor of the passenger side I might know you, are you six feet tall? Put your heels to the floor and your back against the wall I am the burden I drag around Qualities unchecked will take me down Deceive myself just to get around Selfish intentions I try to live without Over the years, I tried to deny That I had found a reason to try Feel like I know you, do you need a ride? Push the trash to the floor of the passenger side I might know you, are you six feet tall? Put your heels to the floor and your back against the wall Digging it out was all I could do I’m the waste of time you refuse Splinter embedded Instance of history repeated

Dining alone, table is set, nobody is home Choosing to go, made up my mind, door closed behind Talking to my better half I decide I don’t need to carry on my family line I’ve learned what it means to be alone in life No change over time A future isn’t assured What kind of life? How would you describe? Aside from the obvious, I don't mind I won't divide how I spend my time Dining alone, table is set, nobody is home Plenty to do, passing along what I’ve learned to be true Talking to my better half I confide I don’t believe we’ll stand the test of time Talking to my better half I decide I don’t need to carry on my family line I see shades of the future and it isn’t so bright Our projects of the past, short of sight The past comes guaranteed What kind of life? How would you describe? Aside from the obvious, I don’t mind I can decide how to spend my time Dining alone, table is set, nobody is home Plenty to do, passing along what I’ve learned to be true

Where do you go when your eyes close? Somewhere warm? You were sweating before I know what it takes to get over your nerves Above all, alcohol Where do you go when your eyes close? See me there, comfortably unaware I know what it takes to get out of your head Commitments lapse, you simply pass I take what I get, eyes close, I regret I make what I can, hands off, I regress I take what I can, lights out, I regret I make what I am, lights out, I regress Where do you go when your eyes close? Miles pass, close becomes unknown I know what it takes to get over your nerves Hold your breath, count your exits I take what I get, eyes close, I regret I make what I can, hands off, I regress I take what I can, lights out, I regret I make what I am, lights out, I regress Where do you go when your eyes close? Who do you hold? What have you condoned? Where do you see yourself next? Who will you never regret? Where do you go when your eyes close?

Walk Away 01:41
If I could ever walk away, if I could ever walk away If I could ever walk away, if I could ever walk away From the person I thought I was supposed to be Who would I become? A person is intent, no state Intentions make, expectations wait If I could ever walk away, if I could ever walk away If I could ever walk away, if I could ever walk away From the person I thought I was intended to be Where would I have gone? A person is intent, no state Intentions make, expectations wait
