In the forest of my mind I pack my bags and run On a calculated ride A chapter has begun But time does tell A fascinating story My sentinel Watching as go Into the great unknown Into the great unknown The great unknown In the backyard of my mind Cursing your name Like the movies on the big screen I’m forever changed But time can tell An independent story I know too well That from the flames I rose Into the great unknown Into the great unknown Into the great unknown Into the great unknown The great unknown

I don’t wanna get out of bed I don’t wanna face the day There’s a rolodex in my head but I can’t concentrate Staring into the void instead Maybe then things will go my way Can’t get it all done I can’t concentrate Maybe if I try a little harder I’ll feel smarter But that’s not the case And really it comes down to if i’d rather try before or after I awake Up at night Racing thoughts In my mind How did it get So damn late my heart keeps palpitating worried I can’t concentrate I can’t find all my loose leaf sheets Don't wanna find out what’s underneath Everything is mess I can’t concentrate I circle back and forth in my room Until my critical brain resumes But i did things wrong And now i'm in a state But I can’t concentrate Maybe if I write down all my letters Things will get better I lack consistency But everyone around me seem to all get by it’s so astounding I’m floundering Up at night Racing thoughts In my mind How did it get So damn late my heart keeps palpitating Worried I can’t concentrate Up at night Racing thoughts In my mind How did it get So damn late my heart keeps palpitating I’m rushing tired of waiting Fuck what everyone is saying and I still can’t concentrate

Spirals 02:48
You didn’t look my way Caught in my eye I tried to disguise Embarrassing stares in a daze I wished I’d get a glance But you turned away I can’t paraphrase A one-way romance Corkscrewed But where to Twisted Missed it I wish I could’ve kissed you Circles Swirls Now I’m spinning out And the funny thing is spirals are only what I’m used to Spirals Spirals to get to you A little way’s down the road Winding and wide Biding my time Feeling like I could explore Waiting for your call Pacing my room Completely consumed It’s nonsensical Out of shape But it’s fate Twisted Missed it I wish I could’ve kissed you Circles Swirls Now I’m spinning out And the funny thing is spirals are only what I’m used to Spirals Spirals to get to you Pirouettes of drunken love but I am barely hanging on This whirlwind fits me like a glove I’ll hold on tight before it’s gone But it lost me Twisted Missed it I wish I could’ve kissed you Circles Swirls Now I’m spinning out And the funny thing is spirals are only what I’m used to And the funny thing is spirals are only what I’m used to Spirals Spirals Spirals to get to you

We keep our mouths shut Our lips sealed Never even utter how we feel Cuz we are the quiet ones We keep our arms crossed Walk in line Bodies here to serve to them and so they decide So we are the quiet ones Quiet The Quiet They keep us locked down Muffled sound Even though we’re running when we hit the ground We are the quiet ones Sound proofed In a room Scream into the void from the cocoon They’ll never let us a have a voice, all of the annoying quiet ones The Quiet The Quiet Quiet Quiet ones

Tabitha 03:32
Tabitha, you talk to me winding words in melodies Conjuring sweet memories If you only knew the way the stars arrange to spell your name How it sets my heart ablaze Tabitha, Tabitha I’m transfixed Nothing else exists Tabitha, Tabitha Make a wish Nothing else exists But you Tabitha, you wonder why Darkness never fills the sky Cast your spells until we die Like the moon controls the sea you’re the centre of my gravity Tabitha, Tabitha I’m transfixed Nothing else exists Tabitha, Tabitha Make a wish Nothing else exists But you But you But you But you

Ocean breeze My heart would freeze up Singin’ soft love songs about you Trickle-down effect We haven’t met But I’m singin’ songs beside you The tip of the iceberg And I’m feeling so unheard Cuz I lost my voice Sinking into waters deep I’m crying out Screaming but you couldn’t hear me Shivering Oh, what a thing I can’t stop writing songs, for you Clamming up Times are tough But I’ll push through the pain for you Being so brave But I gave it all away Cuz I lost my voice Sinking into waters deep I’m crying out Screaming but you couldn’t hear me Cuz I lost my voice Sinking into waters deep I’m crying out Forgetting how to breathe
