Excellent song. Very underrated imho and before it's time. Lyrics apply so well today.

Boundaries
’Easily Erased’

I still see you when I close my eyes
I can't even know peace when you're not near me
How some things never change
All of this time and I still can't keep the pace

Will you break all of the promises that you made
For you it should be easy to erase
My love for you
The accidental absolute

What part of "I can't take it" do you not understand
I'd rather never hold it than have it leave my hand
All of these nights that you visit me
But I still don't have your company

Every life lived a thousand times still ends in goodbye
All the fucking years I've lost
My eyes are dry for the first time in my life

Will you break all of the promises that you made
For you it should be easy to erase
My love for you
The accidental absolute
How much longer
Until I feel better

Old love's lost but never gone
The things that we won't be and the places we won't see
They no longer haunt me

Holding a loaded gun to my love
Your hands are covered in the blood
Of the weak and the willing

‘By Myself’

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

Do I sit here and try to stand it,
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?

Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again by myself

(myself)
I ask why
(but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself
(myself)
I ask why
(but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(to anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'til everything is gone

If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself


(myself)
I ask why
(but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself
(myself)
I ask why
(but in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself


I can't hold on
(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(to anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in


How do you think I've lost so much?
I'm so afraid that I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to?


Don't you (know)
I can't tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can't seem to convince myself (why)
I'm stuck on the outside

I can't hold on
(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(to anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

I can't hold on
(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(to anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in
