When I held you in good favour, I always thought the same for me Until I let you fill the spaces and you let the spaces seep Unlike that of any other, you always knew that I would fall Still you offered me a blue print, knowing it wouldn't work at all To each his own, to me my own I know i'll go from low to high, I know i'll go from high to low But I'd rather have myself to blame, to each his own And I'm generally anaesthetised by anything you have to say So leave me at arms length or push me far away If you think your blue print is long since sown I'll never be someone's clone To each his own, to me my own I know i'll go from low to high, I know i'll go from high to low But I'd rather have myself to blame, to each his own

Intrinsic 04:16
Now you're talking to yourself, when you could talk to almost anyone else Because it kills me every time, your speaking with the walls I'm sick and tired of watching you give and lose your all But I guess that's all you know And I'd like to think that there, is something else to do You're intrinsic, you're not sick, not just yet So don't paint me with the same brush you paint the ones you can't love, Because you're not someone I'm out to get But I guess that's all you know

I fell in again, I guess you could have let me know of the bends you'd made Preventing my escape And I fell down again of course Because I was waiting for that all important get out clause Now you make me feel, like I deserve more Now you're living, waiting, bracing, always wanting more And you won't put in the work for this, so now i'm picking up your chores But no more, no more Face up tied to the tracks, I wasn't occupied with watching my back Until the floor caved in and I knew that you were here So tell me where I got off I guess my soft spot's hidden by nothing more than dust So give the man a mask and he might tell the truth And now i'm living, waiting, bracing, for you to work out who you are I'll put in the work for this and I'll keep picking up your...

I guess things are a little too perfect You've gone looking for the wrong's and hiding from whats right Pausing, calculating what's worth it Trying desperately to frame a picture of time And I guess we met in the wrong generation And maybe that's why we seem so out of line But I still love you all the same, even entertaining this centuries games I know we haven't got it made, but who's promising that anyway I know i haven't lost my faith, I'm hoping, but I know that you're not the same Isn't it so funny how, those tiny differences add up to a great divide Then fizzle out On that plane ride home, where we broke the spell Came flooding back a reminder of why I ever tried So I'll paint that picture for you And watch the canvas dry I'm here for that too And I pray, that it doesn't change

Its been a turbulent year, I'm sure there's still much more to cry about Meanings have been traded, but in time I'll figure each one out I've learned to love a little, I've learned to love long And maybe I won't fall again Not everyone can see things in my light But that doesn't create the need to wait in the dark With speed and complexity that hour before the dawn may pass and go I've learned to love a little, I've learned to love long And maybe I won't fall again I'm waiting downstream, moving to your rhythm Breathing in, Breathing in, Breathing in, Breathing in If no one walks with me, I'll walk on my own If no one walks with me, I'll still tread an honest route
