Made You Cry
02:13

Here I am, stumbling through my mind again,
tripping on my thoughts of you.
And how I brought us to a bitter end,
my words a shard of glass inside your skin.
Did I break you in two?
Were those words enough to seep into your soul?
Sharp enough to carve out your heart?
I never meant to make you cry
I made you cry.

You slipped away without a sound,
we didn't make it to your side in time to see your final breath.
I remember sitting by your side as you smoked and watched the AFL
Told me stories about your Pacific "holiday" in '45.
I wish I had more memories of you before your time came to an end,
I was just a spoilt kid. Never valued the company of family like I should,
I hope I make you proud someday.
Another funeral in Bendigo, it was a cold and windy day.
I watched in silence as you disappeared into the earth,
reminding me that death comes for us all, eventually.
And it scares me.
I remember your laugh was bright like the gold that built this town.
I can't believe I'll never hear that again.
I hope I make you proud someday.
And I swear I still smell the smoke on the coat you used to wear.

Do I seem vague today?
I'm sorry. I just can't shake this feeling.
It clings to me like the sweat when I wake up half way through the day.
I catch my image in the glass, I'm haggard.
I can't handle all these expectations,
when they're placed upon my shoulders.
These things are weighing down my head again,
on this late night drive alone this time
I'm feeling numb today,
did you call me? I can't recall the things you said to me.
My mind was lost as I stared off into space.
I'm losing interest in everything.
Unaware of my surroundings. Empty words fall on deaf ears.
Come again?

Winter's hung around past her welcome, but I can taste the summer around the corner
Staring straight ahead, I pay no heed to those around me. The past has passed me.

With Purpose

This year has been grinding down my bones.
Smothering my confidence as I question all I think I know.
I feel invisible
But these past few weeks I've opened up my eyes.
I'm not living if I'm not doing what I love.
What was killing me I dropped and left behind, to die down in the dirt.
A moment of respite before that burden was replaced.
But now I can't escape this feeling of regret.
Every plan I make just gets turned right on its head.
But I've grown through this now I can learn from my mistakes.
I can't let the fucking stress get to my head.
I'll stay in bed, til I can't see the walls
I won't set plans, I'm just existing.

Rain
03:24
|
|||
My skies, weighed down by heavy thoughts.
And idleness.
Faint light glowing through my clouds,
a hint of something brighter
Watch as I give way and the rain falls down, soaking everything.
I feel it flood my mind, I can't escape, you're fading from my eyes.
Your eyes pull me into darkness.
The last thing I see before sleep finds me.
I've lost my mind, don't tell me all is fine.
