Forget keeping any of this clean
And dry yourself out in dishonesty
You know I'll always hang here
Drift through every breeze dear
I've grown lighter letting go of that fear
You'll be better off without me
I've seen pictures
The grass is greener
I have begun to believe
Nothing feels right in this standstill
But as the rope snaps the wind will carry me headfirst and over the hills
My god what was I thinking
The colors seemed so bright the first time I arrived here
I saw what I never thought I'd see
Then as they turned to gray I found myself remaining
Hoping that they'd return to me
Now finding piece in my escape (without you)
No longer bent up out of shape (without you)
Darling I wish that I could stay (without you)
Through this bitter ending
But you'll be better off without me
I've seen pictures
The grass is greener
I have begun to believe
Nothing feels right in this standstill
But as the rope snaps the wind will carry me headfirst and over the hills
I've dreamt up plenty of problems for myself
All of the memories
They stagnate inside me
They're nostalgically threatening and I can't make up my mind
So while I'm still clinging
My grip is finally loosening
There's no need to worry
Despite what you think I can find my way back to the ground
All we strive to be is healthy and truly happy
And I can't have that if I stay here
I'll go on now
Let go somehow
I'll go on now
Let go of me somehow

How can I come back from this senseless regret?
Can't keep my focus up ahead
(Trying to blend in)
Think soon that I'll be headless
Torn up t-shirts and pant legs
(Shoddy work at best)
Threads lead a path to heartbreak
I'll follow it
Regaining my composure
(We should leave these ends burned)
I've changed so many things
But I could never change fact
I gave my life away
I know you'll never get that
You're standing over me
You said I'd have to forget
But if I'd known you had
I would have left this unsaid
(Inaudible yelling)

Suddenly

I look back again
Temptation glows
I see you leaving
So blue, so cold
I've been gone from you for too long
Pale hands shaking
We got caught up in chasing
But these things escape
I still see you
Yeah, your face
My dreams prolong
It just won't go
So I'm drinking your memory away
I wish it would just exit from me
Lets move beyond the sting of regret
I'm better than this
(I reach out and you're nowhere near where I'd thought
I realize it was I who was lost all along)
I reach out and you're not there
I lose myself and you don't care anymore now
I feel you drifting further from me
Distant longing
Breathing deeply
Take me away
Break me from this endless cycle
Help me to see there's still hope for me
I wish we could be one again
I'd be dead without my friends
I feel the need to love
But I don't want to be loved
Those long days we spent in preserving ourselves
Talking about things we'll now never tell
The charades we act out in trying to sell
Excitement that's long gone and bringing us down
Perception is clear now that I'm finally out
It's easy to look back and rid all the doubt
I've no reason to hear what departs your mouth

Fill my life with sound
Tremble in the silent atmosphere
Waste the day away
Hindsight says we’ve lost another year
A fleeting moment to make decisions that last a lifetime
A fleeting moment to turn the cheek the other way
Please set it free
The substance seems so lost
The circumstance adverse
When the weight is overbearing
I find the courage to disperse
And everything’s retreating
Like water from the shore
There’s no time to disconnect
No one to lock the door
With muddled understanding
My steps lead me away
But coming round full circle
I realize should have stayed
And yet it all must move forward
There is no turning back
Once the word’s been said
No more your lungs will have
Like rain into the gutter
They fall and make a crash
The poor man still remaining
His box now soaking wet
No room for mistake (breaking the current status)
Shown up and well-made (delicate and fearful of it)
Today is the day (all out of second chances)
We'll make our escape (keep sticking to the script)
There is someone who loves every part of me
I set my heart free (tamed hands, but worried glances)
There is someone who loves every part of me
I hope that you see (mutual understanding)
There is someone who loves every part of me

All I can see in spite of this is fractions of my heart leaving
While each and every piece it fills me up with endless waves of emotion
And stifled cries
don't act surprised
My faith resigned
I’m Lost inside
What was meant to be a memory
A stake into a blue lucid dream
Let’s tear down these barriers between
every hope and misunderstanding
Though it's all I can do to sit still
This place is hell
Feeling the walls come down
Cannot fathom staying here
I'll count my wishes upon the setting sun
glowing moon and dying stars
The distance makes me feel so small
I wait for time to drift and pass me by
I watch the flames and ash float to the sky
The distance makes me feel so small
And yet it’s all we have left
And yet it’s all we have

The ground is warm, the heat it moves right through me
Cutting our teeth on summertime in the city streets
We're sinking our hooks into youthful feelings
Sometimes wishing we could take them out, but they're too deep in
The winter's come and gone
It hasn't changed much of anything
I fear if I set new goals
I'll let myself down again next year
Operate with the assumption that I can fake it
Reflect on another opportunity wasted
Take me back where I'm safe and sound with my brothers
It's hard to know that you can get around when you're on your own
Lose myself in a pattern of failed habits
Always wishing we could board them out, but they still leak in
The winter's come and gone
It hasn't changed much of anything
I fear if I set new goals
I'll let myself down again next year
Operate with the assumption that I can fake it
Reflect on another opportunity wasted
A look from across the table
Your eyes asking what is wrong
I swear that I would tell you
If it weren't so hard to open up
This heart's in a thousand pieces
And this head's not any better
But the climb's not just the peak
For you I'm pulling myself together
I've had my hands outstretched for so long
Then found that I was the one to take hold
The winter's come and gone
It hasn't changed much of anything
I fear if I set new goals
I'll let myself down again next year
Operate with the assumption that I can fake it
Reflect on another opportunity wasted
Whoa
