Spending time in circles, watching the seasons cycle

Long time no post, right? As always, IRL each day keeps the (Un)BalNz'D away...

Fun fun stuff though coming your way soon! Promise! Hopefully this time I can prep something REALLY cool for Rock Day (PROTIP: 6/9 for those not in the know)!

In any case, let me get around to posting the lyrics to the songs from "Lyrical Affectation", as well as the new piece, "B-side".

[Velveteen Bestfriend]

Hey how you doin' been a while since we've talked
tell me, you got a second
do you remember the day that you did me wrong?
tell me, do you regret it

rememberin' the days
you took me everywhere you went
rememberin' the days
and time together that we spent
rememberin' the day
that you suddenly just left
rememberin' days
wasted wondering where you went

I don't wanna spend my whole life
sitting on your shelf
I don't wanna rot inside this box
while you're with someone else
I don't wanna lie forgotten
here beside the bed
I don't wanna be forgotten
even in your head

So I've been doin' just fine here on my own
tell me, are you the same
Sometimes I wonder if we're better off alone
tell me, are you the same

rememberin' the days
you took me everywhere you went
rememberin' the days
and time together that we spent
rememberin' the day
that you suddenly just left
rememberin' days
wasted wondering where you went

I don't wanna spend my whole life
sitting on your shelf
I don't wanna rot inside this box
while you're with someone else
I don't wanna lie forgotten
here beside the bed
I don't wanna be forgotten
even in your head

promise me, promise me
can you promise me one thing
even when, playtime's done
and it's time to move on
that you won't, that you won't
please promise that you won't
please don't

forget about me
forget about me

I don't wanna spend my whole life
sitting on your shelf
I don't wanna rot inside this box
while you're with someone else
I don't wanna lie forgotten
here beside the bed
I don't wanna be forgotten
again


[going nowhere]

Let go from the hands of time
I've lost my grip thus my descent begins
Can you please tell me how
far I've fallen?

I'm going nowhere fast
so lost without a frame of reference
everything's the same
and so I've lost my way

tell me which way that I'm going?
I can't tell, no way of knowing
one step forwards two steps backwards
don't remember what comes after

everything fading to nothing
trying hard just to feel something
is there something that I'm missing?
I can't seem to tell the difference

spending time in circles
watching the seasons cycle
world moves unrelenting
as I lay still

older but never wiser
breathing yet barely alive
how far is tomorrow?

Buried deep in the sands of time
I bear the crushing weight of the world
Can you please tell me how
deep I've sunk in?

Buried in the past
I'm lost beneath the changing future
swept up by the waves
of change that come my way

tell me which way that I'm going?
I can't tell, no way of knowing
one step forwards two steps backwards
don't remember what comes after

everything fading to nothing
trying hard just to feel something
is there something that I'm missing?
I can't seem to tell the difference

spending time in circles
watching the seasons cycle
world moves unrelenting
as I lay still

older but never wiser
breathing yet barely alive
how far is tomorrow?

Wandering round in circles
faces places people cycle
world keeps turning still unchanging
I'm the same still

grown older ever dimmer
waiting for the future's glimmer
how bright is tomorrow

spending time in circles (Wandering round in circles)
watching the seasons cycle (faces places people cycle)
world moves unrelenting (world keeps turning still unchanging)
as I lay still (I'm the same still)

older but never wiser (grown older ever dimmer)
breathing yet barely alive (waiting for the future's glimmer)
how far is tomorrow? (how bright is tomorrow)


[Endless Obscurity]

Wanting to make a difference
in a world that could care less
running on dreams
you'll fall through as you awake

hide in imagination
asocial depravation
your head is safe
as long as you don't open up

lie to myself and everyone around me
blurring the lines of truth with my delusion
playing a part as if I were an actor
losing my self in a role that I play too well

tracing from the design to draw conclusions
reading between the lines I find a purpose
cast as expendable like all the others
losing my self amongst the others

These words that I've held onto
for so long have failed to reach you
sentenced to fade into endless obscurity

This voice of mine just falters
never making sounds that matter
there's no sense wasting any breath on me

lyrical affectation
rhythmic self deprication
sweet saccharine sound
a high reached from feeling down

rampant imagination
feelings in isolation
your head is safe
as long as you just keep it shut

lie to myself and everyone around me
blurring the lines of truth with my delusion
playing a part as if I were an actor
losing my self in a role that I play too well

tracing from the design to draw conclusions
reading between the lines I find a purpose
cast as expendable like all the others
losing my self amongst the others

These words that I've held onto
for so long have failed to reach you
sentenced fade into endless obscurity

This heart of mine just wavers
beats play but no rhythm is heard
there's no sense wasting any more breath

the contents of my head
are slowly surely slipping out
I try to hold on to
what's left inside but there's not much

I stop and try to hear you
but there is no sound getting through
everything fades into endless obscurity

This voice of mine just falters
never making sounds that matter
there's no sense wasting any more breath

These words that I've held onto
for so long have failed to reach you
and so they fade into endless obscurity

This heart of mine just wavers
beats play but no rhythm is heard
there's no sense wasting any more breath on me


[B-side]

Good morning
while the world's still snoring
cover up the dark with sunshine

Hey people
nice to get to see you
leave me on my way to nowhere

This city
everyone's so busy
nobody has time for no one

so lonely
but we keep on going
life itself's an oxymoron

moving breathing smiles concealing
truth and lies and hearts unfeeling
lose yourself to stimulation
too much information

laughing crying living dying
somewhere in between I find me
lying to myself like always
I say today I will

Wake up and stop feeling
awful maybe by tomorrow
I can face the
two faced monster in the mirror

But it seems as if though
yesterday is hell bent on
catching me I do believe
my past denies me any future
