I see the planes flying over my head
Discovering bruises over again
Waiting for a note that never comes
Watch the wind blowing the world undone
I see the water on the lake's (last/left) shore
Coughed it all up but you still demand more
Can't see a thing through the (blurry/covered) glass
Maybe distraction can help make it last

Chorus;
But honey, you know
It's hard for me to let (it/things) go
And honey, you've seen
Firsthand how hard living is for me
And honey, you're fine
If you want to come around this time
And honey, I don't
Want you to think you can leave me alone

I see the sun setting behind the hill
(Reaching/Stretching) out, I can('t) touch it still
If I blink (it's/we're) (done/gone) so I won't close my eyes
They've (swollen/watered) up so bad, I can't recognize
I see the stoplights flashing bright at e
Confused as ever, it's a mystery
We start to move, a lazy Susan spinning slow
And I can't run, full circle is when I'll go

(Chorus)

I see your face coming (closer/clearer) now
I should push you away, but I don't know how
Can't make myself hold it in today
You know you broke me, you should (notice/see it) anyway
I see a path leading to nowhere
Want a way out?  You won't find it there
Markings on myself (that) I have made
I may grow taller but they'll always stay

(Chorus?)

Oh what, oh what would make this better
Get out, get out of our lives
And yet, and yet (don't want to/you make me) regret
Don't make this a goodbye

(Chorus)

And honey, I don't
Want you to ever leave me alone
And honey, I don't
Want you to ever leave me alone

Today let it go, figured that you shouldn't know
(I) Tried to walk away, the colors made me afraid
To know who I am, to find out why
There's chalk everywhere, from games before we used to care
Now trapped in a small box, you're threatening to melt the locks
To contain my memories, unless you disagree
Dead alive, not tonight
Straight ahead, I'm not it

Chorus:
Walking in shadows under clear blue skies
Waiting for signs to tell me this is life
Hoping that I will go through this alone
Helping myself so I won't drag you down
Because you care, oh won't you care

I see there's no reply, not even signs of other life
And hanging from a tree, would you be ready to catch me
So I won't fall, I'm safer while
Hiding in my sheets, amber tongue can't touch me
Still your face haunts me, an automatic I-can't-sleep
And I can't breathe, it's choking me
Rest your head, not done yet
In and out, nice and loud

(Chorus)

Bright green numbers change, (pretending (that) they have a range/in them some interest I feign)
No emotion flares, I've turned away, I don't care
A microscope, (you took my hope)
For the future warnes, messages from impending storms
Say there's no escape, living's a many-sided shape
It twists and turns, and fractals blur
Overdone, should have won
Cards will fold, like (some pronoun) wrote

(Chorus)/(some sort of bridge)

Walking in shadows under clear blue skies
Waiting for signs to tell me this is life
Seeing the world around me, it's so clear
Like (brand-new/fresh-cleaned) glass, (perfection/it slowly) disappears
Because you care, oh won't you care
Can't make you care, oh won't you care

Just let me go
Cut the strings and float away
It helps to know
That I'll be happier someday
I hope I'm happier someday...

Oh love, slipping through my waiting hands
I've lost what (staves/fights) the emptiness
We're done, as we fail to make amends
How wrong when we used to be close friends

Chorus:
Just let me go
Cut the strings and float away
It helps to know
That I'll be happier someday
Is this how it feels
Wishful thinking will consume
(Make it/Hope it's) (not/un)real
Wrong place wrong time (is/are) (set to/put in) bloom

Oh hope, magnetizing my mind clean
It works, targetizing all my dreams
Oh no, I've forgotten what it means
When you decide to show your (selfish sheen/true appeal)

(Chorus)

Oh I left the door open again
And you had no choice but to look in
I lie, I don't know what I should prevent
You (leave/smile). and you make me want revenge

(Chorus)

Oh life, changing on me (all the time/every night)
You'd think that it could look me in the eye
And explain how I always end up right
When I (think/say) (I won't make it through this time/it's gonna be a damn long night)

(Chorus?)/(Some sort of bridge)/(Chorus?)

Just let me go
Cut the strings and float away
It helps to know
That I'll be happier someday
I hope I'm happier someday...

[As you can see, many possible titles.
I wanted this to be a more layered, twisting, repetitive song.
I hate how much the chorus sounds like Foo Fighters in my head.]

First call, second call
Suddenly you start to fall
Stumbling, tumbling
Mutating into nothing
Empty, full, emptiness
Ignore the first, flatter the rest
Can't describe, seeing live
Wait for the notion to arrive

Pre-Chorus:
All I'll ever be to you is nothing
And nothing I can do (will/can) ever change that

Chorus:
Hey
This is how it feels to feel like nothing
Hey, oh
This is how it feels to feel so (blank/clean)
Hey
Sometimes it's kind of nice to feel like nothing
Hey, oh
(Sometimes it's kind of nice to feel so (clean/free/blank)/You know it isn't me you have to thank)

Burning again, I don't know when
(Wait 'til I count down from ten)?
Have a cause to break the laws
Does it count if no one saw?
Use your phone, stay alone
Doesn't matter once you're home
Fall asleep to try to keep
(Two steps back for a running leap/Leave your name after the beep)

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Last call, missed it all
Inevitably you start to fall
Mumbling, fumbling
(Always shown/Depicted) as nothing
Stay inside, try to hide
So long ago, habits (derived/contrived)
Consumed in pain, covered in shame
Anything that sounds the same

(Chorus)

Hey
And if all I am to you is nothing
Hey, oh
What's the point in stringing me along?
Hey
'Cause all I'll ever be to you is nothing
Hey, oh
(That's why/And so) when you (keep/hold) me close it feels wrong

(Chorus?)

Paranoia haunting
Always follows where you'll go
Confrontation hiding you
Condemnation finding you
Oblivion casts you out
Where we belong, you still don't know
So who are you to answer me
And (who/what) are you to be (arguing/fighting) or

Chorus:
Falling, throw it out
To make a hole deep in the sea
Get your bearings, take the time
To get a massive hold on me
Sun shines burning cold
Rays shine all alone
And nothing (tastes/feels/is) so good
As when you exist simply to be

Calling out your questions
But the response comes too slow
And you feel the world (around/surrounding) you
And it makes you choke, (astounding/surrounding) you
Wondering, no direction
You don't know where you'll go
You reject the things I said to you
Never take the (chance/choice) I made for you

Chorus:
Falling, throw it out
To make a hole deep in the sea
Get your bearings, take the time
To get a massive hold on me
Fingers to your palm
Try to keep you warm
And nothing (tastes/feels/is) so good
As when you exist simply to be

You're still sitting in that silence
Feeling different from the fall
Static motion costs a thousand minutes
Missing pieces take a thousand tries
Bombarded with confusion
Controls you, scattered in the ground
Put your head down, darling, live in lies
Cross out (constraints/?), sweetheart, live in time

Chorus:
Falling, throw it out
To make a hole deep in the sea
Get your bearings, take the time
To get a massive hold on me
Making massive words
Making you unheard
And nothing (tastes/feels/is) so good
As when you exist simply to be

Mother's comfort shapes your future
Growing up without a cause
Inspiring lust and love-like dreams
Careful or they'll crush your dreams
Bright lights, frozen in the moment
Time can change to what you know
Tables turn on you and take your heart
Your friends turn on you, you fall apart

Chorus:
Falling, throw it out
To make a hole deep in the sea
Get your bearings, take the time
To get a massive hold on me
Feeling full of doubt
Much too full to shout
And nothing (tastes/feels/is) so good
As when you exist simply to be

Bridge:
And when was the last time
It's better not to try
And what was that last thing
It's better not to think
And who was the last one
It's better to...

Chorus:
Falling, throw it out
To make a hole deep in the sea
Get your bearings, take the time
To get a massive hold on me
Road maps of your face
Old maps have replaced
And nothing (tastes/feels/is) so good
As when you exist simply to be

Apprehensive, on the outside
Ropes are pulling you back home
Ignoring terms of blatancy
Rejecting types of irony
Trying hard to reach you
And I'm dialing for a cause
Is that the point you're teaching me?
Your logic's not reaching me

Chorus:
Falling, throw it out
To make a hole deep in the sea
Get your bearings, take the time
To get a massive hold on me
Inexplicably
You're able to see
And nothing (tastes/feels/is) so good
As when you exist simply to be

Sun shines burning cold
Rays shine all alone
