One's honest answers Are far more precious, to me Than any form of Infatuation, I decree Going nowhere these days Going on and on these days I'm chasing my mind down like a child Why are they so scared? Why are they dreaming wide awake? When I see the worlds eyes It's like the horizon is so far away Going nowhere these days Going on and on these days I'm chasing my mind down like a child it's never really tied down And it never really could be Have I been evil? Have I been heartless? I can't tell I don't feel evil then maybe I can never tell

I think my hand could take a day Don't you think? I think my feet could take an hour Don't you think? But it's all the same to me I think and edge could take a minute Don't you think? But it's not the same to me I can still hear you breathe I think my mind could take a second Don't you think? I think everybody sees That it's not the same to me By the hand is slow By the foot is cruel By the edge is messy By the mind it will be As a better man I could move this mountain Oh I see movement inside vest A heart beating in a chest So it takes a better man to see I'll just have to let you breathe

So fed up with the boredom I need distraction So filled up, my tired heart, from treading water It gets me every time Make me numb Turn your head, a sexy lady needs a healing Turn it on, it's nector perfect, and lubricated It's my cure for pain Cause I'm always broken It's my cure for the expectations, and being alone So hold me under the hammer thunder facing up Because I'd rather see it coming My demons make my empty glasses
4.
Taking one option to have Or an object through an object It's an object through an object in motion To be fair there are reasons to just flee They are coming to get me Tell me your options It's so easy but I can't even tell, oh no Can you open up? Why me? Can you level up? Why me?
