Asedio Two

I never could have guessed things would be this difficult
The pressure push is on, the timer’s counting down
There’s a limit to what can be accomplished in the hour
Your idle threats feel more serious the longer I delay
Come back, I want you to stay
I may not look it but I’m crawling in the dirt
I’ll accept whatever you dish out
As long as you take me somewhere else
Bursting through the cracks Asedio
Take me where the facts no longer go
Hold me to my task
Breathing underwater is my best bet
I swear you never told me but i'll choose to believe that you did.
Your superiority i can't deny
I'll defer and submit my selection
You'll refer and commit my rejection
Somebody else once started to catch on
But I put a stop to that immediately
What I have is nice
What more is there to reach for?
Thanks to you I never have to guess
Bursting through the cracks Asedio
Take me where the facts no longer go
Hold me to my task
Breathing underwater is my best bet
I’ll stay put wherever you allow
With what I have to offer on display
I know I’m at risk of drowning
But I wouldn’t dare disobey
The dirt has long since been brushed off
But the stains still remain
Maybe I’ll take a dip to clean off
Time to find out if I get pushed under
Busting through the cracks Asedio
Take me where the facts no longer go
Hold me to my task
Breathing underwater is my best bet

The Secrets I Keep

The secrets that I keep
Aren’t as precious as you might think
If you would like please confide
Don’t worry about good company
Stirring all around
Mix and swirl
Spiraling down
Dip and curl
Nothing about you needs
to be under lock and key
The things that are buried deep
The undisclosed things about me
Stirring all around
Mix and swirl
Spiraling down
Dip and curl
I’ll rip off the veil
Once I am underneath it
Don’t waste another breath
On the secrets that I keep
Stirring all around
Mix and swirl
Spiraling down
Dip and curl

Timid

Look out the curtains I can see
The outdoors they are screaming at me
I know there are shadows around the bend
My bed and blankets are a godsend
I’m in a cycle of intermittent sleep
With nothing but ramen, kraft dinner, and rice to eat
My mind is racing with the beat of my heart
I can’t stop myself thinking about how I’ll never start
I’m timid (don’t approach me or I’ll hide)
Reliving (the time it takes me to contrive)
The reason I’ve given
And I could be living proof
That you could be timid too
I can see it on my phone
The terror inside my head is outside of my home
Don’t try to convince me you arent one of them
I know I can only rely on my digital friends
You can accuse me of making an excuse
Figuring out a way to avoid life’s abuse
But I don’t know another way
For dealing with this every single day
I’m timid (don’t approach me or I’ll hide)
Reliving (the time it takes me to contrive)
The reason I’ve given
And I could be living proof
That you could be timid too
Nobody else is cooler than me
Hiding away is the new way to be
I guarantee if you give it a chance
You’ll find the risk-free lifestyle is pretty advanced
I’m timid (don’t approach me or I’ll hide)
Reliving (the time it takes me to contrive)
The reason I’ve given
And I could be living proof
That you could be timid too

The Way She Stares
03:41

I know you better than you think I do
And as you walk towards her there’s something I’ve got to get through
It takes more than what you already understand
So listen closely before you grab her hand
The way she stares
Pay attention to what she’s telling you
With the way she stares
Notice the subtlety, the way her body moves
Oh the way she stares will tell you so much more than you could ever realize
I hope you care about the way she stares
Consider this before you leap into a kiss
I know you want to but some things you might miss
It’s not cliche to hear the things she has to say
It could become the reason you want to stay
The way she stares
Pay attention to what she’s telling you
With the way she stares
Notice the subtlety, the way her body moves
Oh the way she stares will tell you so much more than you could ever realize
I hope you care about the way she stares
I can give you the tools but it’s all up to you
To take a short moment and stretch it into
Something more if you give it a chance
It’s time to start now so get out there and dance
The way she stares
Pay attention to what she’s telling you
With the way she stares
Notice the subtlety, the way her body moves
Oh the way she stares will tell you so much more than you could ever realize
I hope you care about the way she stares

I Will Never Meet Her
04:19
|

|
Waiting around for a try
Seems like a lowly jest
No one there to catch my eye
Why waste my time with this?
You think its nothing I can tell
That our wealth of wisdom’s on the shelf
But this hardened heart is not a shell
So I will never meet her
The rising of the blood abstained from all the love
That carried on so carry on or turn back
And I will never meet her
I’m such a wistful one but she will never come
Serenity is leaving me just intact
Thinking of things that I could do
Two people in a bond
Suggesting spending time with you
How am I to respond?
We’ve tried to make our sisters whole
But weakened hearts ruined the goal
It seems to me we fell into this role
But I will never meet her
The rising of the blood abstained from all the love
That carried on so carry on or turn back
And I will never meet her
I’m such a wistful one but she will never come
Serenity is leaving me just intact
Now pick it up before your time has gone and remember that
You are young I know you’ll have your chances
For awkward hugs and cheap romances
So when you’re done just do it all again
And I will never meet her
The rising of the blood abstained from all the love
That carried on so carry on or turn back
And I, I know I'll never meet her
I’m such a wistful one I know she’ll never come
Serenity the rest will be beside that
Don't you worry my old friend
Your saddled lives will come again
So take my hand and soon it all will end

Weigh You Down
03:06
|

|
Sometimes I’ll eat out
But I don’t know what I’m doing could someone please help me
I have trouble focusing on whatever it is that you ask of me
I wouldn’t ever think we’re together
I could insinuate it but I wouldn’t want to
I could deliver what you’d consider
To be a dump-truck pile of my bullshit
And I would weigh you down
Weigh you down with all my problems
I’ll solve them
But only if you realize that I can do it on my own.
You think I’ve got it out
for you but if i’m honest I really don't care
A load is coming down
It’s the 5th one today yeah I know right?
I’m conceited? Yeah I could see it.
But the way you say it makes it feel more like a suggestion
My time is fleeting? You’re self defeating
When you pretend like there's a way for you to avoid this
What goes around comes around again
You can take me down but it will never end
