Reciprocate

Spare me a second from the corner of your eye,
Notice the effort I put into not looking,
Reciprocate my stolen glances,
Until we don’t have any more to give,
Pretend you'll forget all between us,
Pass me over in the crowded streets,
Spare the awkward conversations,
Fill them with distant silences,
[Chorus]
Reciprocate all that I’ve felt, for you,
Reciprocate whatever you, can,
Reciprocate even if it’s, incremental,
Reciprocate all that you can,
Take erratic corners to dodge eye contact,
Avoid the streets that we’d frequent,
Walk faster past the bars we lived in,
Delete the playlists and the photos and the memories,
Hold on tight to the positive feelings,
Make damn sure that they don’t escape,
Chain them down in your deepest parts,
And never let them surface
Reciprocate all that I’ve felt, for you,
Reciprocate whatever you, can,
[Solo]
Reciprocate even if it’s, incremental,
Reciprocate all that you can.

Tomorrow

[Chorus]
I try to keep my head above the waves,
Struggle my hardest to tread the ocean,
Throw my weight against the tide,
Get pushed back, and pulled down under,
Tomorrow must be better than today,
A calmer sea with less tempestuous waves,
Could there be rescue? Or at least a desert isle?
Tomorrow can’t be much worse than today,
I doubt they’ll be respite, from the toiling water,
The clouds surely darken overhead,
[Chorus]
Tomorrow won’t be different than today,
A raging sea with tempestuous waves,
They’ll be no rescue, no desert isle,
Tomorrow could be much worse than today,
No respite, from the toiling water,
The clouds darken overhead,
[Chorus]
The maelstrom unrelenting,
Fatigue only increasing,
No rest, no rest, no rest, no rest,
Drowning everyday,
Lungs full with water, with despair, with emptiness
There’s no hope, it was consumed first, along with all the positivity and joy,
No respire, no rest, no hope, no happiness,
Drowning, going under, drowning, going under, no tomorrow, no tomorrow, no tomorrow.

We've found ourselves far west of sanity,
We took a wrong turn somewhere past rationality,
We're in a place where reason’s a commodity,
Before we're stuck here we should get out with alacrity,
Such a place where logic’s an audacity,
An epidemic of superficiality,
[Chorus]
Lost
By a different
Compass,
We’re lost,
By a different,
Compass,
We’ve found ourselves far west of sanity,
Clamping down on random bouts of our profanity,
We’re in a place where we’re treated oh so callously,
So far we’ve avoided all catastrophe,
Such a strange and warped locality,
The flights go on straight into charted fallacy,
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Break]
We’ve found ourselves far west of sanity,
A broken system built high on moral bankruptcy,
We’re in a place where ignorance breeds majesty,
A lack of empathy by far the commonality,
Such a hurtful and scared mentality,
Where common sense is by and large an abnormality,
[Chorus]
We’ve found ourselves far west of sanity,
All sense of decency’s been replaced with depravity,
A withered nation in a state of incapacity,
A regression they hold onto with tenacity,
I’ve seen the death of all congeniality,
Running headlong into an age of complete stagnancy,
[Last Chorus]
Lost
On our moral
Compass,
We’re lost,
By our moral,
Compass,
We’ve been stuck here so long,
And we can’t get back out,
We’ve been caught in the indoctrination,
Of that there’s no doubt,
Just a simple wrong choice,
Just a simple wrong turn,
We read the map wrong,
Guess we’ll never learn...
