Watches

I was striving 

Working for nothing 

contemplating

leaving everything behind

an’ though I’m down

nothing you should say could weigh me lower

Cause I already am

Don’t they know how hard I try

Don’t they know that I am right

My eyes are shut I cannot breath

I’m overloaded, cannot sleep 

Then they forced me

Constantly pushing (me forward)

All the same 

Driven to nowhere

an’ though I’m down

nothing you should say could weigh me lower

Cause I already am

Don’t they know how hard I try 

Don’t they know that I am right

My eyes are shut I cannot breath

I’m overloaded cannot sleep 

Drowning

I close my eyes 

Just to get some sleep

But what remains 

Are these empty sheets 

I locked you in a cage 

Still you flew away

Now there’s an empty space

In this cage of mine

In this cage of mine

I`m drowning   

Stop watching save me      

I could have been wrong and you right

I could have been so wrong an’ you so right

Perhaps I talked too much

Like I always do 

So all I get tonight 

Are those empty sheets

Those empty sheets

I`m drowning   

Stop watching save me    

I could have been wrong and you right

Maybe I got it wrong and you were right

I might have just failed to see the reason why

How do you find a way to go to sleep  

When all we ever had was meant to keep

You leave

I don’t mind if you leave now

I only mind if you cry 

A last endeavour to breath now

for tomorrow I’ll die                             

My head is raised now, but the sun is gone     

A kiss away from the coldest sky           

I don’t mind if you leave now                   

I don’t mind if you leave now                   

I don’t want you to cry                                 

If nothing keeps you in my arms 

Of all the things that I gave

and those ways that I wanted you 

Have lead to dead ends right from the start

Nothing stronger than my love

Like proven time after time

It ends a little too soon now

My arms are entwined

My head is raised now, but the sun is gone     

A kiss awry into the coldest sky           

I don’t mind if you leave now                   

I don’t mind if you leave now                   

I don’t want you to cry                                 

The time

I tried to focus on the pain 

Try to remind me where you are

And all the space surrounding me

Is choking my breath 

Why does it have to be so cruel 

when seconds feel like a lifetime

coz all my thoughts are filled with you

a desperate longing for air

So, you grant me the time 

To be alone 

I’m left with the pain of watching the phone 

A single message dropped on the table 

Don’t wait up for me

Time is passing constantly

Your smell’s around everywhere

I count to ten to breath again

A fading helping of air

How I’m focused on the pain 

A faint idea of where you are

the space around me closing in

a lesser chance to survive
