A Pair, A Paradox

1,2,3,
Are you with me
I never know
It never shows
I hear your praise
I feel your gaze
But what’s it mean?
Am I obscene
To hate it all
To want to stall
To want no more
To close the door
It’s not enough
But all too much
We don’t know what we’re wanting anymore
We are a pair
A paradox
A sweet release
A little peace
Is all I want
So nonchalant
But when its quiet
My brain’s a riot
I need the wall
Your urban sprawl
To clear my mind
From time to time
I need a friend
With soul to spend
Alone I’ve found
My fears abound
In groups its shown I need to be alone
We are a pair
A paradox

Master of Impressions

No one who was pardoned
Ever called me by my name
No one got my heart in
I was in them all the same
If you need some explanation
You didn’t know me very well
It became incarceration
It became a living hell
But I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best intensions
Make them putty in my hand
You think that you see me
But you only see the mask
I hope’d that you could really see me
But it was far too much to ask
You could never ever know it
And I’m sorry if you tried
I could never ever show it
If you looked me in the eyes
Cause I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best impression
Make them putty in my hand
Yeah, I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best impression
Make them putty in my hand

I am not excited
I am not insane
You could take me back to when I’d never heard your name
It’d be the same
If your expectation
Wasn’t quite in line
Maybe now you’ll wonder how I did it all these times
The clock it chimes
All the times we argued
All the times we shamed
Such a loud and bitter cloud we fathomed and we blamed
But never claimed
If you hesitated
That might bring you down
Don’t erase the time and space that brought you all these sounds
Don’t let it drown

Obsolete

A steady rain pours
The shopkeepers are closing up their stores
The kids are off the streets
They found this town is far too obsolete
And nothing feels the same
Even though it’s always been this way
If it’s different now today
It’s only just the people that have changed
My head’s ringing with ghosts
Each trying to prove their value is the most
I know I have to leave
But something here’s been clinging onto me
But nothing feels the same
Even though it’s always been this way
But if it’s different now today
It’s only just the people that have changed
A steady rain pours
The shopkeepers are closing cupboard drawers
The kids are off the streets
They found this town is far too obsolete
It feels already-gone,
But somewhere in this quiet spirits linger on
But it's not who live today
Their hearts were never passioned
Never fashioned in that way.

No Regrets

I take it back but I have no regrets
I wasn’t right, I wasn’t so beset
I wasn’t right, but no one really was
I still don’t know, and still nobody does
I take it back but I have no regrets
I am alive thats as good as it gets
I am alive I will cannot throw away
The things I am that brought me to today
I take it back but I have no regrets
I’m not the kind who easily forgets
The ways I felt at any given time
I’m slow to change, but finally feeling fine
