Closure 05:41
Sometimes you end up believing Things people say No intimate frame of reference Familiar with the situation Everyone defaults to seeing me As the person they knew, unaffected There’s no such thing as closure The universe’s job is to write the next chapter so How could I blame you if the pages end suddenly The apology wouldn’t be in your voice Fall back and never move on The shortcut takes us back further Than we started, I’m too young To be forgetting memories I’ve made With people I’ve lost Words are hollow and slip right through We still don’t know who was using who Smile and pretend I’m a stronger and more sincere version of myself As if you can’t hear the lies through my teeth Words are hollow and slip How could I blame you if the pages end There's no such thing as closure The universe’s job is to write the next chapter How could I Smile and pretend I'm a stronger and more sincere version of myself Fall back

Linoleum 04:03
Stand in line, wait inside an empty room with no one around Sterile lights, flat paint and linoleum, your memories of what once was Try and try and try to shine through all the broken glass You're left there wondering if Maybe there's more to this I don't even know who I’m supposed to be

All Too Well 04:46
I know it all too well Those dark alleyways and cigarette corridors Left boarding up all the windows I know it far too well Turn everyone near away Please not today Like those cartoon villains From when we were kids Rubber mask hides what’s within Beneath is what everyone else feels, But nobody else sees And in the end you are all alone I know it far too well Those dark alleyways and secret passageways It’s your turn, so please roll the die It’s time to see where we end up When all is said and done

Reiterate That I never saw more for us In the future I created The space you occupied was blank Now I feel myself running In two directions at the same time A voice that sounds exactly like mine Is trying to speak over Through layers of conflicting noise Guilt cuts through We both know that this can’t last forever Sense of entitlement Anonymous in your head Better left unsaid Phone calls from a different area code Tears on the other end And I'll make a big deal Of nothing again Move away, shaking hands I've never been so frozen in place Keep up with your pace Change so quickly, old words fall flat Streets I've never seen before Bathed in the cold white light of my phone It can only start Uncertainly The tracks are moving The stationary train In the echo of your voice For the first time I hear more than my own The tracks are moving The stationary train In the echo of your voice For the first time I hear more than my own
5.
Months change to serve as naught but a reminder Can’t return to crossed days on the calendar The colour seems to fade away The details no longer as sharp Hopes confided a final time Left now to reflect through different eyes Intercalation Leapt over Clean slate Lights out, there’s no one left, the crowd gets up and you’re Left there, standing alone, no one to help guide you, the stage left Empty just some old props, the dust has finally begun to settle Down, you notice the cracks, these walls have been falling since they were built With time, I am forgetting my mother tongue Return, learn from crossed days on the calendar
6.
The blank space was all that’s left to climb So go ahead and write, the pen will never dry One hundred thousand eyes, old versions trapped inside You’ve finally gained control, your freedom as a whole So go ahead and die, the sun has caught your eye
