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
2.
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

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 03:13
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.”

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 03:23
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
7.
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
10.
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
11.
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
