This Is The Way

Life
Pass before my eyes
Bleeding from within
Makes it hard to be whole alone
Lacking oxygen
And it makes no sense
How could you leave me here alone
Worried sick waiting by the phone
Is life just an endless empty dial tone
I don't know
I know
This is what you wanted
Hurt so many souls
Bet you're happy now
And though you're in a better place
I'd give anything
For some time with you
Why have a plan
When you’re set up to fail
We age and we wither
Time tips the scale
Inevitable fate
Hold me in your arms and
Tell me i'm wrong before it's too late
Take my hand i'll show the way
Keep all the others at bay
It's now or never can't you see.
This is all I’ll ever be

Trial Of The Spirit

I always thought I’d get outta here
Nothing seems to work and now I fear
I might be too old to shed a tear
I’m empty now when the coast is clear
Nothing’s worse when it's drawing near
Somethings wrong with the balance here
Wounds are raw and they’re too severe
Reality is I should probably just disappear
You think you’re strong but you’re wrong
The current makes you weak
Won’t be long, too far gone
You took too long to speak
You make your own problems
Never fucking solve them
Your ocean is a creek
Can I make it back to when
I was standing on two feet
And the good days
seem so far away.
I wish I could go back
And change all of it

The Way You Lived
02:21

Friendless in the cafeteria
Never was too talkative I stayed to myself
When I met you reached out
Got me a shitty job
But I couldn’t complain
And I never would’ve seen it coming
My life, my life was never the same
The way you lived your life saved me
My life, my life was never the same
The way you lived your life changed me
Hey dude join my punk band
It’s just me and a couple of friends
That’d be dope but I don’t quite understand
I’ve never even held a guitar in my hands
Told me fuck it just give it a chance

Oh, Love

Picture yourself in a different place
Of time and space, all the bad things erased
Somethings bringing me down, Someones holding me tight
Take my energy and help me make it through the night
We’re going down I can’t help it now
Rock the cradle til it breaks You’ll see it's not that hard
Driving through this city with my head up high
I saw you on the corner, and you’re just passing by
Picture us on a summer evening
This feels like im im dreaming and the waters gleaming
Take my hand and whisper “this is what i'm feeling”
“I won’t ever leave this has given life new meaning.”

Among The Clouds

I might not be worth it
No money, no profit
But I swear, I promise
I'll repay this happiness if it resembles what I lost
I lost it, was it my fault?
Sometimes, I think it was
Do you know, how much I’ve
Missed what we started
Cuz no one ever really does enough
Nothing ever really feels enough
No one ever gives enough
But you cared enough
Cuz no one ever really does enough
No one ever really lives long enough
No one ever gives enough
But you cared enough
Cuz you had nothing to prove
you had nothing to prove
You’re bleeding out
Too dangerous
Dangerous to move you
Haven’t lived enough
Laughed enough
Loved enough
To lose you
You start to slip away
With your last breath you say
Tell me would it be too much to ask
Tell me would it be too much to ask
Take me back
I mourn for those, who never knew you
Don’t grow up too fast, you taught me that
I don’t have much, but what i do
I’d trade it all, to change the past
Tell me would it be too much to ask
Take me back

The Child

I’m finally waking up
I can’t stand to be alone
I’m looking outside
This doesn’t feel like home
And if I happen to go before you
Tell everyone these words aren’t true
And everyday
Feels the same
Pushing away
I'm to blame
And nothing will ever be the same
Honest truths don't exist
They’re a myth
Conspiracies are everywhere
Such is bliss
And I’m the one who told you that we are real
Won't you just stay right here
Late November
Felt the warmth of your hands
This feels so right
But it isn't real
And I kick back the bottle
Like i always do
Wishing someday you’d feel this too
Im staying alone
Im staying alone at home
Fucking with my head
Fuck it ill go back to bed
Fucking with my head
Fuck it im already dead

Remember
05:10
|

Treading through this desolation
Watch it bleed the spirits away
I believe that the shores of the ocean
Wash away my hope left astray
As you left I came to realize
You were desperate to leave the pain that you hide
You’re trapped inside
You’re trapped inside
A just as you closed your eyes
Free from the static world left behind
Peace I hope you find, I hope you find
So hard to Remember
They tell me move forward but I look behind
There must have
Been something that
I could have done
But now you're gone
Lucid psychic conversations
All I had was imagination
Barely standing
But you weren’t breathing
Days feel like weeks
But years feel like hours
I wish I could feel
What you feared
So tell me I’m wrong
Just lie and say I’m strong
I feel I don’t belong
Am I too far gone

Better Off
02:56

These thoughts they paralyze
These images remind me
Stare into your paper eyes
This guilt, so confining
Don't tell me, I know
They're dead and they're gone
Broken mirrors paint the floor
I'm not me anymore
Life seems so cold I can’t wait to get home
They say home is where the heart is tell me why I feel so fucking alone
I envy that you’re free from this cruel world
If anyone deserves it it was you
Staring at your headphones on my shelf
I’m dead myself
My conscience can’t be cleared I hear your words
I should have seen this coming, fucking curse
Can’t forget the past with looks ahead
I’m better off dead
I’m better off

Tell me why you look away
Does my guilt fill you with shame
Trust I understand the pain
You don’t have to explain
I wish I could say I saw this coming
left no trace that you were struggling
Now I’m stumbling
And I’d trade it all away
Just promise me
You won't give up so easily
We've seen how sad the sky can seem
Stand together, stand as one
Just as the moonlight backs the sun
We stand shattered, shattered as one
This endless suffering goes on and on
memories of you live on and on
It won’t be long, it won’t be long
And all you leave behind will live to the end
Your suffering is gone I’ll see you again
It’s not the years, it’s not the years in your life
It’s the life in your years

I'm Not A Living Thing
02:32

Heaven has no room
For a heart like yours
And stars will shine
All night for you
Lately I’ve been on another planet
No one knows what I’m feeling
Wait up Its okay
I’m not gone forever
But with you by my side
I can survive
Spit me out
It's what you’ve always done
Living day by day
I can't live that way
