Out of Reach 03:40
I feel like I’m making a comeback It’s been a long time My eyes are open wide God knows what I’ll find I lift my head from the dirt, Spit out what’s left of my old life and bury the hurt I’d take some of it with me, But it might kill me (it might kill me) I’ll get up before I fall again (fall again) Turn my back on everything that kept me off my feet I want this feeling to last forever Wherever I am, I feel like I’m better now Will I ever be the same? Or will I turn my back on everything I used to be? Will I ever be the same? Will I ever be? Too many years spent in this skin I was starting to forget Too many years spent in this skin And now I’m over this shit Just out of reach, but close enough to hate it I’m gonna shut you out, no point in staying Just out of reach, but close enough to hate it No point, no point, no point in staying

We’re hanging on, but the thread is spinning out of our hands Nothing will change your mind You’re already sick on the inside You’d rather fall to save your pride The spite you feel defines the life you live I’m getting dizzy from the circles you’ve been talking in Can’t tell the truth from your lies, so I won’t even try There’s no love There’s no love There’s no love left between us now There’s no love There’s no love There’s no love between us You don’t want to know the odds Because you’re afraid you could be wrong It’s not like I don’t understand Me when I pay the price You and I, we decide How long we let our pride Force us to choose a side You wore a mask before this shit even started I can’t diagnose the state that your heart’s in I’m getting dizzy from the circles you’ve been talking in Can’t tell the truth from your lies, so I won’t even try There’s no love There’s no love There’s no love left between us now There’s no love There’s no love There’s no love between us No love No love There’s no love between us

Wasted Youth 04:24
Falling up short, and letting that go Echoes, they call which way I should go Willing to live and starting to try And I promised myself I won’t make compromises My life’s in question (I keep wishing) I’m out of answers (Came up empty) My luck has run its course, when will I learn? I give it all I’ve got Until I’m broken Over and over again And still I’m lost But I’m not mistaken Until I figure out What my life is all about Bad days come and go in waves It’s hard having nothing to believe in Dumb luck, don’t get your feelings hurt Can’t say you didn’t see it coming Reroute if you’re feeling down and out Try picking yourself off the ground Walk away, there’s nothing you can say To keep me in this place My life’s in question (I keep wishing) I’m out of answers (Came up empty) My luck has run its course, when will I learn? I give it all I’ve got Until I’m broken Over and over again And still I’m lost But I’m not mistaken Until I figure out What my life is all about Our youth is wasted young The moment’s just begun We are the only ones Our moment’s just begun

Losing fights in my head, Another picture to the flame Not hard to recognize a face, But no one’s the same Cause we all went our own ways, Outgrew the places we called home And filled the space beneath our bones With false security Pick up where you left off You don’t have to throw the past away Or be ashamed of who you used to be You’ll never be the same But you’re still the same to me Who you are, The things you’ve done, The life you knew is overgrown If you decide to go, One thing I hope you know I’ll be beside you if you choose to come home So now you’re all alone The choice you made was not your own On your own and feeling helpless, Broken down just how they left you, Down, but never out, Decisions have their doubts Call me when you make it back home I wish you’d spare the details Nothing that we said before holds the same weight anymore I’ll keep pretending that it feels the way we used to think it would But we both know that we won’t go back to the places we called home You’ll never be the same But you’re still the same to me Who you are, The things you’ve done, The life you knew is overgrown If you decide to go, One thing I hope you know I’ll be beside you if you choose to come home

I see the pain in your eyes Why can’t you let me inside? Your head’s too crowded for my words I know you’ve been here before Take up my time, what’s it worth? Not getting through to you, I’m not heard But you don’t really think that I’d get up and leave You are the company you keep, Closer than you think You’ve been holding your breath Holding on, waiting for something to give I can feel you slipping, now you’re drifting away Tear yourself apart so you can make Another version of the person you hate I’ll keep on counting On the chance that one day things will change We’re throwing caution to the wind When it’s gone, what will remain? You’re relentless And I’m a mess But it doesn’t mean I care any less Make up your mind I can’t take this I refuse to take blame this time I can sense the hesitation in your voice But you never gave yourself a choice Put up all your walls just to keep me out You’re feeding on what keeps you down Don’t know how to help you, Just wanna understand So I can help you pull through Cause I don’t want to lose you this way Don’t know how to help you, Just wanna understand So I can help you pull through Break the cycle that we’re in Tell me when you can begin You’ve been holding your breath Holding on, waiting for something to give I can feel you slipping, now you’re drifting away Tear yourself apart so you can make Another version of the person you hate I’ll keep on counting On the chance that one day things will change We’re throwing caution to the wind When it’s gone, what will remain?

I’m wide awake and you’re still sleeping fine What’s on your mind? Home early from a quiet drive The conversation killed my appetite I just want to cheer you on But I keep tripping on my flaws You never get the credit you deserve I always hated taking turns To say I let you down would be an understatement Each time I try, I wind up facedown on the pavement I call you friend, but give you shit without a reason This isn’t me, I owe you all an explanation Let’s try rewinding back to the start of this I’ll stop denying I’m not a part of it We can pretend, but nobody wins It isn’t fair to make you feel like this Try rewinding back to the start of this Denying, I’m not a part of this I’m trying, back to the start of this It’s so hard just to say what I mean A secret kept behind my clenching teeth My body language keeps you guessing What I feel but can’t express When I can’t find the words I should’ve said Let’s try rewinding back to the start of this I’ll stop denying I’m not a part of it We can pretend, but nobody wins It isn’t fair to make you feel like this Try rewinding back to the start of this Denying, I’m not a part of this I’m trying, back to the start of this

Speak 03:18
If I could speak without repeating That the world that we know just turns forever Words can be like signs Until we’re out of time Why fix it if it isn’t broken? Our heads heavy from the spin and commotion It’s a problem when I think out loud I said the words, but I’m still not proud If only my silence would show how I feel But my insides are ideas of things I would give At the turn of the tide When our concepts collide If I am not alone (I know that I’m alone) Why do I feel at home? (I’m home) Do you care? Are you complacent? Are you keeping up or will you fake it? It’s no wonder that you can’t think clear With all the noises and the doubt you hear It’s a frame of mind, it’s all smoke and mirrors We can blame the lines cause they were never clear Nobody said that life would turn out fair Piece it together before it’s come and gone (If I am not alone, why do I feel at home?) If only my silence would show how I feel, But my insides are ideas of things I would give If only my silence would show how I feel, But my insides are ideas of things I would give If I am not alone, why do I feel at home? If only my silence would show how I feel But my insides are ideas of things I would give At the turn of the tide When our concepts collide If I am not alone (I know that I’m alone) Why do I feel at home? (I’m home)

Vision 02:40
My mind’s playing tricks again Can’t tell my enemies from friends I reach out to grab your hand Didn’t know where else to begin I don’t want to bring you down with me Don’t wanna tear you down, So when we fall to the ground Will you be the one to catch me or will you be against me If no one makes it out alive, Why should I have to try? I’m a hostage left to my regrets And when I close my eyes There’s no vision left in your lies I’m a hostage left to my regrets And when I close my eyes There’s no vision left in the lies we tell ourselves You won’t say that you’re not brave But something happens when I’ve gone away Won’t be forever, but I’m set in my ways If I can’t leave this place I’m a hostage left to my regrets And when I close my eyes There’s no vision left in your lies I’m a hostage left to my regrets And when I close my eyes There’s no vision left in the lies we tell ourselves The lies (we tell ourselves) (we tell ourselves (we tell ourselves to keep on waiting) The lies (we tell ourselves) (we tell ourselves)

Days Past 04:52
I fell asleep with the lights on The ringing in my ears was a wakeup call The words you said still circling in my head It was a reminder I felt like a failure Why is it every time I think I seem to drown before I sink? The lines in my hands are still the same The names and the faces all rearranged The pain that I feel won’t be here for long It’s already done and it’s time to move on And everything is all right, I’m fine It’s on the back of my mind, what I’ve done to survive The timing, to everything A fever dream or the real thing? So when it all falls down, without a doubt, I’d give up anything Remembering, and holding on to what held me down You’ll get what you want when I go In too many ways I’ve deprived honesty To myself, to my dreams, thinking through what I thought I might be And I won’t be a casualty Have you notice lately? One by one, days are fading Forget what you know enough not to show Cornerstones, they get thrown, am I still standing on my own? Have you noticed lately? One by one, days are fading And there’s no sense in waiting On every sign to pass you by And everything is all right, I’m fine It’s on the back of my mind, what I’ve done to survive The timing, to everything A fever dream or the real thing? So when it all falls down, without a doubt, I’d give up anything Remembering, and holding on to what held me down
