Tiny Vessels

Tiny Vessels

this is the moment that you know

that you told her that you loved her but you don't.
you touch her skin and then you think

that she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

i spent two weeks in Silverlake

tha California sun cascading down my face

there was a girl with light brown streaks

and she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.
yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me.

wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking

as we moved together in the dark

and all the friends that i was telling

and all the playful mispellings

and every bite i gave you left a mark

tiny vessels oozed into your neck

and formed the bruises

that you said you didn't want to fade

but they did and so did i that day

all i see are dark grey clouds

in the distance moving closer with every hour
so when you ask "was something wrong?"

that i think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now.

no, we can't talk about it now."

so one last touch and then you'll go

and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more

but it was vile, and it was cheap

she you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me.

Mourning

Mourning

Is there something that you are trying to say
Don't hold back now
It's been a long time since I felt this way
So don't hold back now

I purposely forgot about
Loving anyone
Cause I'm the only one who has
Who has been stepped upon

Is there something that you are trying to say
Cause I can take it
Cause I grew up a man this way
And if I'm hurt I'll shake it

I'll crawl back into my cave
That's how I'll make it
Cause out of all this hurt we have
Beauty thus become
Beauty thus become

[Chorus:]
In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
[Repeat]

Wishing all the best for you
And now I will say goodbye
Cause all the shit that we've been through
Put wisdom in my eyes

So walk away, don't turn around
Cause I won't be standing here
Cause all the lies that I've been living through
Are becoming very clear
And beauty thus become

[Chorus]

Then you conned me into thinking
That all I had was you
The small insinuations
Were cutting me through
Cutting me through

And now I stand alone here
Stronger than before
And I'll never go back
Never go back
Never go

-Tantric

Falling

Falling

It seems like
Out of nowhere
I'm coming apart
Nothing could've saved me
You went straight for my heart

When I've almost had enough
Something about you draws me back again
When I've almost given up
Something about you pulls me in
And we're falling

Feels like
I am reaching
Tryin' to hold on to you
And I know that
There's still hope here
And I know you'll come through

When I've almost had enough
Something about you draws me back again
When I've almost given up
Something about you pulls me in
And we're falling

When I've almost had enough
When I've almost given up
We start falling
And we're falling
