Cupid’s Arrows

Yea, yea, yea
Hmm, hmm
Falling away from love
There’s favourites
To their fits
How come everybody pays to the cause
They’re catching Cupid’s arrows
Taking all the love
When they never have to wait, no
Even though I’m waiting myself

Either way, I’m never first
But pins and needles come my way
And this puzzle to be seen is so tough
So maybe I am cursed
I know it’s sad to say, but I’m never someone’s lust
I’m always wondering why it’s there
Where I can see it at a glance but never close enough to measure trust
I know they never really care
When I try to please
There’s a sense of disgust

I’ve jumped through hoops to try and change my course
By relieving my mind but it adds more weight on
Trying to forget by taking care of myself in hope it eases up
But the distance fades off

Finding love seemed to play out before
But now I seem to fall out of time
To live and never gain
I could never paint it why
Everyone sustains their pour
When their hearts get exchanged

How come everybody pays to the cause
They’re catching Cupid’s arrows
Taking all the love
When they never have to wait, no
Even though I’m waiting myself
It’s a battle all alone
How come everybody pays to the cause
They’re catching Cupid’s arrows
Taking all the love
When they never have to wait, no
Even though I’m waiting myself
It’s a battle all alone

I’m never gonna have a stone to throw
I’m only gonna put one down
I’m never gonna pull a sword with force
I’m only gonna let it be found
For some it’s so easy
Walking where it’s breezy
They never have to try to play it safe
With no set ties
Living as a prize
Where struggle never lies
It just falls in place
For no sake

I’ve jumped through hoops to try and change my course
By relieving my mind but it adds more weight on
Trying to forget by taking care of myself in hope it eases up
But the distance fades off

How come everybody pays to the cause
They’re catching Cupid’s arrows
Taking all the love
When they never have to wait, no
Even though I’m waiting myself
It’s a battle all alone
How come everybody pays to the cause
They’re catching Cupid’s arrows
Taking all the love
When they never have to wait, no
Even though I’m waiting myself
It’s a battle all alone
How come everybody pays to the cause
They’re catching Cupid’s arrows
Taking all the love
When they never have to wait, no
Even though I’m waiting myself
It’s a battle all alone



Cupid’s Arrows


Close to Bone:

Now, did it feel right
You found out ways to turn my mind
Away from falling signs
What a noble way to say I’m blind
And not wise
One day I’ll see the fall in time
Believing that I’ll be inclined
Away from you but not outshined

Ohhhh if leaving can improve
I’ll cut the ties for someone new
You don’t believe me but it’s true
I’ll tell you now

You deem it’s right to follow
And set your sights to finally face, then seem unfazed
Choices you’ve made have led to quite a wallow
Leaving a scent that becomes a stain
But you never stayed
Couldn’t tell the difference when our hands grew closer
But now I know that your heart’s too cold
I sense the feelings close to bone

You’re hanging off me, I feel you deep in my dreams
You’re needless to need but somehow closer it seems
To highlight your means creates a distance I see
The limelight can bleach, but nothing compares to your schemes

Ohhhh if leaving can improve
I’ll cut the ties for someone new
You don’t believe me but it’s true
I’ll tell you now
The right to follow

I figure the flaunt was attention
You needed something to replace to hold it tight
Waiting to escape when the time was right
Someone to reshape and rinse their kind

Ohhhh if leaving can improve
I’ll cut the ties for someone new
You don’t believe me but it’s true
I’ll tell you now

You deem it’s right to follow
And set your sights to finally face, then seem unfazed
Choices you’ve made have led to quite a wallow
Leaving a scent that becomes a stain
But you never stayed
Couldn’t tell the difference when our hands grew closer
But now I know that your heart’s too cold
I sense the feelings close to bone

Lost Lost Summer:

Fast forward with the hand on my wrist
Lean to it, the past will show
Faint glow, for tomorrow will crisp
Lean back and the present will slow
How’s it, trying to breathe within the long lost summer
Wishing you could take it away
Darkness in the eve, can’t part the colours
And I don’t want the last to grey

Leave me to fall out the clouds
And land on the ground, it’s more queasy
Passing by then trying to compete
With no seat

Every year I’m going round
I fall in love before
Leading up, I try to be someone practical
Never settling down, I’m chasing animals
I’m being irrational
Something so fashionable
But running at a loss

Fast forward with the hand on my wrist
Lean to it, the past will show
Faint glow, for tomorrow will crisp
Lean back and the present will slow
How’s it, trying to breathe within the long lost summer
Wishing you could take it away
Darkness in the eve, can’t part the colours
And I don’t want the last to grey

The nights are long
Memories are lit by
Something so strong
It’s used then brought up as a longing quest of truth
Where nothing can change the view with proof
I never want the saddest arrest to soothe
Which leaves me with the hardest blues to shoe
It’s like a passage of pain
That lingers with age

Every year I’m going round
I fall in love before
Leading up, I try to be someone practical
Never settling down, I’m chasing animals
I'm Being irrational
Something so fashionable
But running at a loss

Fast forward with the hand on my wrist
Lean to it, the past will show
Faint glow, for tomorrow will crisp
Lean back and the present will slow
How’s it, trying to breathe within the long lost summer
Wishing you could take it away
Darkness in the eve, can’t part the colours
And I don’t want the last to grey



Long Lost Summer

Pitch Side:

I hate the reminders
I hate the reminders
I hate the reminders

Pitch side
I'm bleeding from my main
Brain
To see what I will gain
Again
Leave it all to paint
Need it all to paint
Pitch side
I'm bleeding from my main
Brain
To see what I will gain
Again
Leave it all to paint
Need it all to paint

You’re, you’re, you’re all I’ve ever needed, why?
Freedom wraps the soul, tight
Needless of the time, shy

I want to raise the checks
I don’t want to raise my keeps
I don’t want to raise the steps
I just want to raise belief
I feel damned to act insane so cunningly
And it hands me progress
The demands I want to contain, I cannot reach

I know, I know
I know what it takes
I know, I know what’s at stake
I know, I know what it takes
I know, I know what’s to break

Pitch side
I'm bleeding from my main
Brain
To see what I will gain
Again
Leave it all to paint
Need it all to paint
Pitch side
I'm bleeding from my main
Brain
To see what I will gain
Again
Leave it all to paint
Need it all to paint

Two-sided brain
Misled by common strain
Within the chase
Nor I can seal the case

No way to feel the past collateral
From myself, to put a lot of weight on me
I can’t fill a field when something unfilled
Remakes to put a cape on me

Again, the paint’s from me
The paint I try to bleach
No one sees my seek
I fight in hidden creeps
Painting in my seat
Plain sight but under reach
Painting in my seat
Painting in my seat

Pitch side
I'm bleeding from my main
Brain
To see what I will gain
Again
Leave it all to paint
Need it all to paint
Pitch side
I'm bleeding from my main
Brain
To see what I will gain
Again
Leave it all to paint
Need it all to paint

You’re, you’re, you’re all I’ve ever needed, why?
You’re, you’re, you’re all I’ve ever needed

Pitch side
I'm bleeding from my main
Brain
To see what I will gain
Again
Hung it all to paint
Uh
Bled it out to paint

Pitch Side

Up to You:

It’s up to you
It was up to you
Up, up to you
It was up to you
Up to you

Tell me how you decided it was better to flee
Than strengthen what remains
A touché that was never explained
So you left the question seen
Too busy thinking about yourself
You would rather go and hide it all alone
So you tamper with the trail to wealth
Breaking off all ties so I’d never know

And that I would never know
I’ve grown, but you tarnished your name
But I feel you’re the one alone

You wanna try and compare what I’m worth, uh huh
You feel it’s time to leave and search for something above
Will you learn from what you’ve known, not what you’ll know? Uh huh
Perceiving as naïve could actually blur your strut
Can blur your strut

With all that you have left
You don’t know what to keep
You’re left wondering what you’ve done
And found a way to blame me
You say, you play, another excuse
That’s a game I would rather lose
There’s no point tryna hide some clues
There’s nothing else you can try to do
Again you’re thinking about yourself
Just trying to return to what you’ve thrown
There’s nothing I can do to help
Breaking off all ties so you’ll never know

And that you will never know
I’ve grown, when you tarnished your name
So you’re the one that remains alone

You wanna try and compare what I’m worth, uh huh
You feel it’s time to leave and search for something above
Will you learn from what you’ve known, not what you’ll know? Uh huh
Perceiving as naïve will actually blur your strut
It will blur your strut



Up to You

Where Do I Go:

Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go

As I’ve done before, I’m looking for a path to take
This time, I feel it to be the one that I should make
But as I know, it’s never easy to leap the escape
I never mean it, but sometimes it can end with hate

Though I stop to stare, I’m rarely holding on to something that was there
It limits to who I open to
It’s not that I don’t care — I’m searching for a brand new
Start, where I can find some clues, to learn to live with and use
I need a place to find myself
So I can dig up wealth, and to pass the trace
My plea leads with hope to shelter away the excuse
I need a chance to make the change to what I deem is true

Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go

I’m leaning to what is paved
So I can’t give it up
But I don’t know if it’s made
To truly jump
It has to be my escape
So I can’t give it up
It has to be my escape
So I can’t give it up

Though I stop to stare, I’m rarely holding on to something that was there
It limits to who I open to
It’s not that I don’t care — I’m searching for a brand new
Start, where I can find some clues, to learn to live with and use
I need a place to find myself
So I can dig up wealth, and to pass the trace
My plea leads with hope to shelter away the excuse
I need a chance to make the change to what I deem is true

Where do I go
Where do I go (To what I deem is true)
Where do I go
Where do I go (I deem is true)
Where do I go
Where do I go (To what I deem is true)
Where do I go
Where do I go (To what I feel is true)

Where Do I Go

Throw It Away

Its time to throw it away

Ohhh I couldn’t think to lose you
As soon as I saw your face made a light worth moving to
Ohhh I always tried to soothe you
And you would take that and throw it away
To leave me astray

There’s days you’re running from me, whilst I’m waiting for you
Then you’re waiting for me
It’s the same old place, you’re standing to leave
Asking whether we see something coming to be
I know I said wait but this time it’s too late
A lie I had to use, where I rather would lose
Then come to choose

When together our thoughts are to keep this
It’s like we’re stuck in time somewhere far away
But it leads me down to harsh feelings
Thinking back how you played your drunk mistakes
Apologising, saying I couldn’t lose you
But you can take that and throw it away
You left me to fate

There’s days you’re running from me, whilst I’m waiting for you
Then you’re waiting for me
Now the same old place, you’re standing to leave
Asking if ever we’ve seen something coming to be
I know I said wait but this time it’s too late
A lie I had to use, where I rather would lose
So I had to choose

Choose
It was time to take it and throw it away
So I had to choose
It was time to take it and throw it away
So I had to choose

Throw It Away

Diamonds:

To state I’m a fool for bleeding for you
Then to highlight a jewel that’s gonna make us two
A level down from the way it was, a sudden change begun
From the twilight we saw

Hmmm, what a change from the diamonds that were all around me
It’s hardly aligning with the dreams we had seen
I realised the confinement was all around me
At least I feel like that’s true, being away from you
So tell me baby, was it born from a robbery? ’Cause it’s so hard to see
I’m leaning on the way you tried to make a change and it drove me crazy
Visioning a robbery in how it came to be
Playing the game you try to set and stay

Chancing to restore what we had before I was on my own
Even though it failed, it was hard to find somebody else
To shield what was healed
The comfort in returning led to no other way
From the twilight we saw

Hmmm, I tried to change from the diamonds that were all around me
It was hardly aligning with the dreams I had seen
I realised the confinement was all around me
At least I feel like that’s true, being away from you
So tell me baby, was it born from a robbery? ’Cause it’s so hard to see
I’m leaning on the way you suddenly found the change, it drove me crazy
Visioning a robbery in how it came to be
By playing the game you set to stay

To state I’m a fool for bleeding for you
Then to point out a jewel that’s gonna get us through
A level down from the way it was, a sudden change begun
From the twilight we saw

Hmmm, what a change from the diamonds that were all around me
It’s hardly aligning with the dreams we had seen
I realised the confinement was all around me
At least I feel like that’s true, being away from you
So tell me baby, was it born from a robbery? ’Cause it’s so hard to see
I’m leaning on the way you tried to make a change, It drove me crazy
Visioning a robbery from how it came to be
Playing the game you try to set and stay

Somebody Else:

Hmmm
I tried
Hmmm, ny

I held on to the patience,
I fantasise in the night about our relations.
With no partaking,
I altered the truth in hopes it'll fly.

Hmmm, I was waiting to try and get this, I denied
The chances to ever fly.

Time was not of the essence,
The thought of you just reshaped my soul.
The signs were played in the present,
Of course together we'll end up whole.
Can you pursue, just to lose?

The moment we’ll seize,
To live in the high seas.
With you proud to surround me,
A feeling hard to explain where it’s more than the eye sees.
Yet I’ve witnessed a hell —
She met somebody else.

Somebody else,
Somebody else,
Somebody else.
The moment to seize,
To live in the high seas.

With somebody else,
Somebody else,
Somebody else.
The moment to seize,
To live in the high seas.

With somebody else,
Somebody else,
Somebody else.
The moment to seize,
Living to foresee —
Hmmm
I couldn’t see her with somebody else.

Hmmm.

Somebody Else

Choose:

The Path I Can Choose
Ooooo oo o
Ooooo oo o
Ooooo oo o

I’ve been hating my desire,
It kind of feels like me against myself.
All laced with lies,
It barely leaves what I hope to be my dreams.

I’m almost there,
And that I know cause I’ve left me.
I can hardly see me, so I have to see it through.
But why’s the view
Hidden away in a maze for me to lose?

Stepping stones from the place where I started,
Sacrificing all the departed.
I laid my grave to play the game and choose.
I don’t know where I’ll go, but I know I have to choose,
Losing what I have to gain for another.

Stepping stones from the place where I started,
Sacrificing all the departed.

I don’t know where I’ll go, but I know I have to choose
To lose what I have to gain for another.

Ooooo oo o
