Winter

That was the fall, this is the winter, now I'm waiting on spring
It's winter and I can feel it invading me
My chest opened up to reveal a bloodless heart
Pale, cold, and unmoving
I really don't think it's the green
Maybe I've been landlocked and now I want the sea

Rewards

Intermittent reward system keeps me alert
Keeps me on the leash, keeps my pleasing
Inconsistent with my follow through
Maybe this is all the same to you
Just like a morphine button
I'll keep pressing til I get some attention that I'm seeking
Til I get another rush of the substance that's coursing through my veins
How'd you make that happen time and again
Intermittent daydream cycle distracts me
Playing out every scene
Inconsistent with my follow through
Maybe this is all the same to you
Just like a morphine button
I'll keep pressing til I get some attention that I'm seeking
Til I get another rush of the substance that's coursing through my veins
How'd you make that happen time and again

C'mon, Kid

C'mon kid, I've had enough
C'mon kid, I've given away your stuff
And when I cried you just didn't agree
You said you didn't know it meant so much to me
What could it have been, I'm not any good at keeping things in even when I should
I've got a lot to learn about the bees and the birds
C'mon kid, why aren't you here?
C'mon kid, I've been waiting for years
Have I missed that window in time to keep me distracted and feel like I'm fine?
I've been trained to rein it in, so that's what I know and that's where I've been
That's how a tide is turned
With your nouns and your verbs
C'mon kid, what haven't I done?
C'mon kid, I am under the gun
There was a man who once adored me
He wandered away and I followed his lead
Now I can't sleep or focus my eyes
This freefall has been the meanest surprise
A promise I intended to keep
What is real and fantasy?
C'mon, kid

Waves
03:24

I ate your words like honey
I learned to crawl
Just a concept with a heartbeat, there was no response and call
So I can drown or I can float
The waves won't stop
I was enough when I had two heartbeats
But not when it was just me
I'd been dressing up the emperor while my hope drained out of me
So I can drown or I can float
The waves won't stop
