I Can't Stop, It Won't Stop

I can’t stop…

Though this will never see the light of day

It won’t stop…

Because I still have something left to say

It’s just me…

And I won’t be gripped by that fear

It’s just me…

And I no longer think I need you here

And I no longer think I need you here…

Can your sentiments be sediment?

Could you ever keep a level head?

Can you see where your forked road has led?

Do you understand what I have said?

Would you prefer to be here instead?

Can you sleep with those thoughts in your head?

Are you wishing that it wasn’t dead?

Do you understand what I have said?

To the cynic…

One day I’ll stop your lures for good

To the friend…

One day we’ll meet where we once stood

To the lover…

One day I’ll love you like I really should

To the others…

One day you’ll all be understood

One day you’ll all be understood…

Ink blots on a page that was drawing up a memory of you

Questioning: Exactly what am I supposed to do?

A game of solitaire in the air and I can’t wait to come down

Plummet to the Earth and hope it’s you who is found

Romance is on hold and this world can threaten me all it wants

But priorities need to be established so I can clear my thoughts

And in the end the love you get is equal to the love you give

And life isn’t worth living if love’s not a part of how you live

Everyone‘s inside while I roam the outside

They just keep running while I try to hide

I didn’t get what I needed

But didn’t need what I wanted

Laugh it up and then ring it in

I went without and retreated within

A busy day may keep your memory away

But I still pray for a different day

Punching through walls, trying to tear myself apart

Learned destruction can’t recreate an unbroken heart

I can’t stop…

The words just keep entering my head

It won’t stop…

Not soon, not ever, not after I’m dead

It’s just me…

And while it’s not the way I wanted it to be

It’s just me…

Just thinking about what I don’t see

Just thinking about what I don’t see…

Mountains rise like piercing knives

And I sit wondering: Do you have nine lives?

Snowfalls, powder, and I hate the memory of you

Questioning: Exactly how do I escape you?

Sit and listen. Sit and fidget

They come and go; I try not to miss it

And the day that we create gold from lead

Will be the day I get you out of my head

Yesterday the roses in your photo were all disappearing

I was happy to see you both go, and couldn’t stop smiling

I can’t stop…

I fear a completely unfinished product

It won’t stop…

No beautiful resting place for this art

It’s just me…

And while it’s not how I wanted it to be

It’s just me…

Ask if you can come too, and pray for maybe

Ask if you can come too, and pray for maybe…

Jump back in and find me where I was

Lost here in battle without a noble cause

Drove me crazy and so you had to be erased

You look for my love and see only my blank face

A day that never finishes

A love that never truly says

Miss Lucky. Miss Took. Mr. E.

For someone who wasn’t really me

Can your sentiments be sediment?

Will I ever get you out of my head?

I don’t like where I am being led.

Do you understand what I have said?

Would I prefer her to be here instead?

Can I sleep with these thoughts in head?

Am I wishing that it wasn’t dead?

Do you understand what I have said?

Straightforward now and to an unknown destination

And I no longer desire that lost sensation

If all this comes as a surprise, then lying suits you

Questioning: Exactly what did I see in you?

I won’t wait here; I won’t be used

If this is no surprise, then you saw it coming too

Iron tore through the flesh that bled out yellow and blue

Stitching up a life that doesn’t revolve around you

I can’t stop…

Because I still have something left to say

It won’t stop…

Because I’m not strong enough to make it go away

It’s just me…

And you better believe I’m here to stay

It’s just me…

Alive for a love: A love for no cost:

Accosted by no one: One who'll never be lost...
