Nick Austin - REM Sleep

Listen I know it might be hard for you to see this now
Partly because of how you feel and how I'm not around
But I just had to put my feet back on the fucking ground
And try to make my way more naturally into the clouds
I feel I forced the way I think on who I might become
So I'm just living as two halves of the same man
I feel I forced the way I think on what I might have done
So my mistakes tend to repeat around another bend
Just sit here with you trying to figure out what I should say
Communication never works if you're too far away
We used to be okay with being here not worried 'bout how if we finally talk about our Feelings, we will break away
I'm always thinking 'bout what happened to us
How did we end up inside this room without a door to go back through
And if I'm always fucking dreaming 'bout the lack of us
Then what we have right now could be the start of something we know we should do, so
I don't know
So I just
Sit here in this room with you
Stuck somewhere inside the fucking dark but I can hear your voice
And I can't tell if you've been walking toward me
Or if we're both just trying to find a way out as if we had a choice
But still through all this blind navigating through the truth
There's still no one I'd rather fear for, it's still me and you
And yeah I know that only makes it that much harder too
What's left of you and I has always what's been left to lose
Pick up the phone to write you a novel through double vision
Type then delete every sentence while consciousness is slipping
I fall asleep in the faded colors of what we were
Then reawake in the painting of all my bad decisions
I just keep walking through hallways we could have lit together
Inside the house that we built but never called home together
Inside a town that we built on dreams that we had together
Only to drown at the shore of what could have been forever
Riding the razors edge
Timing the way we live
Hiding the way we love to
Find what we couldn't give so
Maybe it's really it
Maybe we'll never know
But maybe that's how it's supposed to go with you and me
