False Echoes

I'm making up a world small enough that I fit in,
and nothing gets in or out.
How did you break it all down?
I'm living in a dream so deep I can't wake up,
no matter how loud you shout,
I wouldn't open my eyes, now.
I'm hearing voices here all the time,
speaking all the lines that I'm too afraid to cross
We'll never know what love is.
If we don't have something then there's nothing to say.
I've gotta know what love is,
when we take all those false echoes away.
I remember all the times you watched as I burned out.
Your stare haunts me every night,
how was I missing the signs?
Always thought I was above it all, untouchable.
That being lonely suits me fine.
You made me swallow my pride, now.

Somebody Like Me

Hey, you know what you're doing,
though you say that you never do.
No way, not gonna play your game,
I know you'd break me in two.
My heart is all to pieces, now
and you're holding the last part whole.
I'm making a constant fool of myself,
tripping over the love you stole away.
If you gotta love somebody,
come on and try me, honey.
If you're gonna love somebody,
could you love somebody like me.
Hey, just what'd you say to me?
I don't think I understood.
You're shouting that there's nothing good in your life,
while you're putting me on hold.
I feel I come by it honestly,
that someday you might catch on to me.
It's not like I'm hiding in plain sight.
Maybe there's something that I can't see,
or maybe I'm just not listening
to what you've been saying all along.

Rain beats on the window pane;
neon tremors through glass;
moon casts a shadow on your side of the bed,
ghost of where you were last.
How dark was the night?
How cold was the street?
Better watch where you're stepping here, boy;
some faces you don't want to meet
If I called out your name in a crowd,
would you finally see me?
I'm awake though it feels like a dream.
I'm counting down to midnight in heartbreak city.
I've been running, but I can't ever leave,
so meet me here in the centre of heartbreak city
Even friends won't know you here,
we're all ships in the night.
Lives as cracked as the sidewalks,
bathed in artificial light.
If I stood in the middle of a crowd,
would you finally see me?
