I couldn't help notice you've been fucking up
And it would be great if you could stop
I got this feeling that you'll self destruct
and I kind of like having you around here
How can I help you, when I can't help you.
I see you're trying and still failing
I just can’t do this for you
Cause you’re the captain on this sinking ship
I just can’t steer it for you
And I can't stop loving you
But you can start loving you
I know this can't be easy

You Got That Right

Clouds are rolling in
I can see that right now we’re in for it again
No surprises you’re unsatisfied
Unfulfilled when not mesmerized
Attention span always depleted
Only boring people get bored
With rips in your big picture
Dissension grows steadily
Painting portraits as a victim, baby
A canvas not meant for galleries
I can see this isn’t working
Common ground nowhere in sight
If you only knew
How much I compromised
Trying so hard
Avoiding catalyst to tantrum
But these unfiltered emotions are a hair pin
Eyes level skewed
Sets the relationship to boil
And the decade we spent building are dissolving too
Swift reactions may be insincere
But with agreements in the distance
It’s best we be getting out of here
It’s meaningless to express any of these words to you
Narcissists can’t comprehend any spheres beyond them
Trying so hard, if you only knew
This goodbye, feels so right

And I put these hands up
They are like yours
Chances are, we're similar
I see your toothy grin
Is the same as mine
We're not so different, you and I

I see my Grandfather crying during dinner
Struggling to get the words out
Overwhelmed with all he ever asked for
He completes his final grace
Humble beginnings create simple satisfaction
Growing up eating snakes and shining Nazi boots will do that
Even those missing fingers
Never seemed to phase
The joys of breaking glasses
Every pair in this place
One last time for Lakeports in your garden
Tell me how the peppers did this year
Secrets, of how I should grow vegetables
As suns set over Richmond Hill
Inside, you'll cheat like hell at euchre
Smile wide and toss aside these 9's
How we laughed, the volume was incredible
This is all you ever wanted out of life

Feeling directionless, pacing in circle rooms
Searching for exits, or a window to jump through
The walls are closing in, compacting every single breath
And as you're gasping, and the world's laughing that you're giving up this time
And I know things can get dark sometimes
But just know I'll be there to turn on the light
Hold on
It'll be alright
You can beat
You can beat this
I will push on your back, make these mountains less intense
Clear the branches from the path, thin this forest, your forest
The snow is not that deep, when you're walking next to me
We're almost at the peak, this time you’ll beat this, you’ll beat this

Keep it simple
It’s not that hard
Just play three chords
On the chorus part
Feeling overwhelmed
Like you can’t breathe
Just sing along
Always exhaling
Overcomplicate everyday decisions
Quietly screamed analytics, my own worst critic nags constantly
The weight of the world on myself, the weight of the world on everything
Breathe deep and just for once, let’s just make this easy
Deconstruct these thoughts from always running rampant
Write lines about it
There may be a riddled history of running my mouth until exhaustion
Working out loud to ease a mind’s constant wandering
Second guesses keep me up at night, missing punchlines from mental stirring
I swear if these thoughts bust through these eyes, the walls will be covered in uncertainty
