Crispy 03:54
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

Hell's Bells 03:42
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 04:15
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

LKDSJ 04:54
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

Last Minute 04:02
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

Finally 03:58
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
