This Pain I Compress

This is my mind's eye
These are my thoughts
Complete with timelines
Stretched out on walls

Why don't you want me?
Just make it plain
It's all the same
These are my fingertips
This is my pain

So don't leave me here
Don't say goodbye
Accept nothing less
Expect nothing more
This pain I compress

For you I'd drive a thousand miles
For you expect nothing less than smiles
This pain I compress

In times of feeling pressed
Your mind is driving flatout
You must remember this
Breathe slowly
Why shouldn't we resist?
Define conventional
It's not essential
It's just me looking out

For you I'd drive a thousand miles
For you expect nothing less than smiles
This pain I compress

(I started breathing slowly)
(You started walking out)
(I started breathing slowly)

For you I'd drive a thousand miles
(I started breathing slowly)
(You started walking out)
For you expect nothing less than smiles
(I started breathing slowly)
This pain I compress
