Time Wears Awa - Emily Smith

1] My southern words float out And drift over the crowd Your shallow music Drive them to distraction And it wears me down It wears me down And it wears me down It wears me down My words carry no weight And at all my shows of late People just talk about you And it wears me down It wears me down And it wears me down It wears me down I'm at a loss I'm at a loss And it wears me down It wears me down And it wears me down It wears me down (I'm at a loss) And it wears me down (I'm at a loss) It wears me down (I'm at a loss) It wears me down

Out on my own No microphone Doubts overblown But I'm still reaching You know it's fine You know I'm fine Being a waste of time (A waste of time) But for me it's better Take the time to consider That what's for you is not my all On my own but I'm still reaching (no apologies) Spare your preaching (there is gold in me) Can't act like I'll take it back Force the hand, watch the concrete Watch as it cracks So what's it like being right? We know that it can't all be true Blinded eyes still black and blue When will you start listening? It's like rehearsing exhaustion On my own but I'm still reaching (no apologies) Spare your preaching (there is gold in me) Can't act like I'll take it back Force the hand, watch the concrete Watch as it cracks Just another one being dramatic Pretend moody, cinematic Play it back, play it back What was on those tapes? Stone sober, know that there's no escape There's no escape But I'm still reaching (no apologies) Spare your preaching (there is gold in me) Can't act like I'll take it back Force the hand, watch the concrete As it cracks Play it back, play it back Play it back, play it back

Nightfall Nightfall Rise Creeping up, getting closer All forms of prevention lost Notify your ensuing ghost The shadows move from East to west like clockwork They're hiding from the light We sleep in anticipation We awake in total fear Every window boarded up Our fate is drawing near Nightfall Nightfall They rise at night The sunrise Brings an end But can you make it 'til dawn? You can't hide From the dead But can you make it 'til dawn? What walks beyond the doorway? Looming torture jaws baring Is this the night of our demise Entwined with hell's faces Can you make it 'til dawn? Can you make it 'til dawn? Can you- Can you make it 'til dawn? It's that slow traverse It's that cold flesh Moving in, moving in Creeping up, getting closer All forms of prevention lost Notify your ensuing ghost The shadows move from East to west like clockwork They're hiding from the light We sleep in anticipation We awake in total fear Every window boarded up Our fate is drawing near They rise at night fall Nightfall They rise at nightfall Nightfall They rise at-

Where did your fate go? Was I just to fall on my own? If this room was full of lies Is that how you fooled me with love? I see how you changed me, I know what you said It don't make me hate you, I wish that it did I'm, I'm trying to find words, trying to make sense If I don't try, where do I find the lies between the lines? Why does it hurt so much? Won't understand, no, I can't let this go Oh, you made plans now, you can't shut me down Ah, you're advanced, but you can't tell them now No, you can't tell them how You face the pain while your days are numbered You took the highway, you've done it always You hurt this woman, you put your needs first And I've heard this many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it got So much for you're my one and only You'd say that you were all mine You knew that your words were hard to stand by I was scared of change, but then I complied even though it hurt I stayed and now I'm glad you have it all But there's things that you can't buy Glad that you said sorry, but habits they die hard Why, you want to offer me love that you don't have? Loving you exhausted me, baby, and you charged, you charged I'll take the high road, I've done it always Our time is old, there's only one way You hurt this woman, you put your needs first It's played out many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it goes So much for you're my one and only (You had all of this) (Oh, you still search for bad) So much for you're my one and only (You fought all of this) (You don't even know how bad it got) So much for you're my one and only I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that
