Eyes Ahead

Hold on; don't go where the wind blows. Just keep your view in tact. It's hard how only the time shows whether we should have left.
Welcome the days when we've only got ourselves to blame. We all have demons that make us much too afraid.
What's left to lose? I haven't been alive for some time, and I don't really care to try. I cannot shake what has been in my sight for some time. Have I been holding on too tight?
Return from all of your dreaming. That's when the demons pass. Concerned that everyone's losing. They will be fading fast.
Put it behind. Forget all your pride. Make your mind heard. Set rest aside — we cannot this time afford to fail.

Over It

Can I leave alone? Trust that everyone will be sincere? Watch the way you move — tight. I know you've got something I should hear.
It is getting worse. The more you talk we don't converse. It is all I've heard: you're never sure. You're never sure.
All your excuses gather doubt. Hidden agendas coming out.
I'll never wait again. I'm over it. Not letting it slide. Stay guarded falling in. Can I ever give another honest try?
You don't even show fright — keeping cool though all insincere. Always quiet first right before confirming every fear.
Get it? I'm over. Feels better than under. Suffer another? I'll waste no more time. You can wonder.

Meant To Lose

Heard that you're sorry. Guessing you want something. Happy? You can't be. That's why you're spread so thin.
This is where you give up. This is where you will lose control.
Get the message — you can't undo. Dear, it's clear that you meant to lose. Through the mess, now we'll see the truth. So quiet 'cause you don't deserve to hear the new.
Heard that I'm leaving. Thought you had found someone. Hiding your demons? They'll surface soon enough.

I've wasted far too long repairing what should have sewn up months ago. Can't let the others know about me. I'm consciously fracturing links.
Decide I need my mind functioning. Don't beg — don't plead; I can't stomach the weak.
Hate to run from the unknown. Much easier said than shown. Can't rely on growing old with no guarantees — no control.
Be better off without anything. I'll work with what my mind can sell. For the sake of sound, I'm ending. Still won't rely on what they preach.
Decide I need my mind functioning. Don't beg — don't plead; I've no stomach for sheep.
I shut it down. No time — no place for help. I keep them out. Rely on just myself.
I cannot see over the walls that I've built. I've got to try to climb before they shadow what's left.
I won't get back what I've lost waiting for something I haven't earned. I take it back; I was wrong. I'm tired of shutting out everyone.

Shielding My Plateau

I could tell you that I'm through. It's so hard to watch the path move.
I've been lying to myself. I've been missing the feeling a while.
Turn your head — won't have you watching me stall. I confess: afraid you won't forget. Said I can't fail.
I was afraid that you knew every word wasn't true.
Maybe the pressure's rooted in me. Seems everytime I try I fall.
I won't tell you, but I knew you'd grow tired — you're selfish — consumed.
I guess that all I thought was wrong. Shying away from all the rest.
