Are You Sure?

I got lost in the clouds
Couldn't find my way back down
But the view from here really aint so bad
The sunset was blood red
My fingers on your legs
Well, it all just seems so long ago
Are you sure what you heard was right?
I've been dying to find the words that might change your mind
It's over in an instant
Blinked and then I missed it
And now Im on my own
I was always on my own
Always knew you'd find me here
On the last day of the year
Counting the seconds until it's gone
Searched through your message
Like sifting through wreckage
But, doesn't look like there was anything to find.
Always too late
I've been trying to remember when I wasn't lost

Rearview
02:48
|
|||
|
Running through the cul-de-sac
Backyards seemed to never end
Burning bridges just 'cause we had the time
The place I got my first tattoo
Playing shows in living rooms
That's how I hope you remember me
From time to time
I still feel you
And everything I left in the rearview
Has a way of coming back
I tried to run but still can't hide from it
All the girls I used to love
They got new last names
Yeah they're better off
Got some good advice that I must have missed
Been here before
I don't trust myself anymore
I can hear the wolves at my door
They've come to settle the score

Living In Hell
03:07
|
|||
|
Looking for the piece you stole
Never thought you'd ever be so cold
Banging on the door but you wont answer
How could I have known.
Hoping for the best while I'm still alive
Doesn't really look like I'll much time
The last thing you've done
Still on the tip of my tongue.
I've been trying to forget it
But your face haunts the nightmare I've been living in
Can't erase the stories you love to tell
Feels like I'm living in hell
I taste of blood in my mouth
Getting harder to keep it all down
Cuts to the core like a heart attack
Heaven can't help me now
Searching for something to keep me alive

Accidents
03:52
|
|||
|
It was an accident
I don't know whats gonna happen next
It was just dumb luck that got me here
And I think I'm running out of it
Starting to see I'm just a bad seed
That won't grow into anything
In over my head again
I'm sorry for breaking all of my promises
I made when I was young
Thought I had it figured out but I guess I was wrong
There's nothing left for me now
No point hanging on
Couldn't wash away
All the blood I spilled was it in vein
Well you see I spent most of my life
Doing just as I like
And now I'm paying the price for it
You say that I'm crazy
If you knew how much I hate me
Would you still try to save me?

It's been two years since the summer she broke my heart
Spent a couple more with this guitar
Tried to outrun all the consequences yeah but here they are
I still smell the fireworks in your backyard
Went to college but I didn't get far
Hope there's something better out there for me but I could be wrong
Maybe I was younger or just a little smarter
I could say the perfect thing to get you to stay longer
But I'm all out of tricks up my sleeve
I'm cursed with awful timing and not good at deciding
If I should stay and fight or go back into hiding
But I'm not surprised that you'd leave
Yeah I knew that you'd leave
I always knew that you'd leave
Laid to rest my common sense I confess
I really let it go to my head
Thought I'd find myself if I left it all behind but here I am
It's dark outside but just light enough that I might find a way home

Cracks On the Ceiling
03:31
|
|||
|
I've been feeling a lot like the cracks in my ceiling
Tired of being so defeated
I've been thinking I might be who you been missing
But who the hell am I kidding
Maybe it's better this way
Before I turn into someone you hate
Looking at you is like salt in my wound
Cause I know that things won't be the same
I can hear her nothing more than a whisper
Loud enough to remember
It's safe to say now I'm just lost in the crowd
And I won't be found by anyone else
Maybe it's better this way
Before I turn into someone you hate
Looking at you is like salt in my wound
Cause I know that things won't be the same
Followed the light to your room
Didn't know what else I could do
I'll wait patiently on the edge of my seat
Hoping one day that I'll make it through
I've been feeling a lot like the cracks on my ceiling
I've been thinking I might be who you been missing

So Sorry
03:47
|
|||
|
The one thing I love is slowly coming undone
I gave up trying to run so it looks like they won
I drove through the town where we both used to live
Saw my old house with strangers in it
And I can't shake the thought I'd never be there again
Only have one last request
Turn the lights on me
Gave all that I had and I scratched until my fingers bled
The world doesn't ever give what you think you should get
So sorry kid
Made up my mind seems that I made a mistake
All the people I thought were on my side now only get in my way
Just the worst seems to come to mind
I'm the best thing you'll never find

Let You Down
03:29
|
|||
|
This time of the year I always think of you
How you disappeared what you been up to
Said you needed a change well I did too
So it goes another hopeless soul
All I'll ever be is just somebody that let you down again
I spent too much time only thinking about myself I guess
Can't take back the way I've been lately now your just another person that hates me
All I'll ever be is someone that let you down
Let the lights go out let the curtain fall
No need to talk I've heard it all
I never meant to let you fall
I let you fall
So it goes another hopeless soul

I Can't Relate
03:04
|
|||
|
How much longer can I wait here how much more can I take
All the things that surround me fill my heart up with hate
They say it's gonna burn me up but I know it's what keeps me warm
Seeing red and almost dead but it doesn't really matter anymore
I see your back bone starting to crack
Buried the hatchet right in my back
I'm not surprised cause I know how you are
I won't be listening
So don't waste your breath
One day it's gonna crumble hope I'm there to watch it burn
Everyday is such a struggle can't wait to see the tables turn
Maybe I'm just bitter now maybe I just can't relate
Either way you're gonna get your wish cause you're never gonna see me again
Can't tell the difference when you're all the same
You sold your soul cause it's all the rage

Empty Rooms
02:57
|
|||
|
I lost my nerve a long long time ago
I know it hurts but I'd never let it show
So many excuses for why it went so wrong
I know it's useless to keep talking to these walls
Passed by again I'm used to it
There's nothing more that I can do
I still spill my heart out to these empty rooms
No one hears my confessions or cries for attention well there's nothing more that I can do
I clench my teeth and take it on the chin
Cause when you speak I try and force a grin
There's blood on my hands and these scars won't leave
But I don't mind it I earned all of them

Lost Grounds
03:14
|
|||
|
I heard you from somewhere over my shoulder
And now we both got older I know nothing lasts
Stole a picture to remind me things were different
Before there was this distance that ruined it all
Hey once the sadness fades away what will be left to take?
Once the sadness fades away
I've been thinking 'bout turning my life around
Before I let it all go south
I gotta make up all the ground I used to stand on
I wonder will I ever recover from years of slipping under
Or will I always be stuck

Funeral
01:16

You always say life is beautiful
But will I see you at my funeral

I Wish I Could
04:23
|
|||
|
Something in my mind I can't explain
Like it always kinda feels like it's gonna rain
Can't tell if you're real or just a ghost
All my friends keep telling me I gotta let it go
I wish I could
If you're a lot like me you know nothing really matters much
The pains in my chest have reached to my head and they keep adding up
I tried to come clean about everything but it just wasn't enough
If you're a lot like me you nothing really matters much
All these lines keep getting deeper
That can't be my face in the mirror
At the very best I'm just waiting to die
Been trying to live with the thorn in my side
But it's not getting better no it's not getting better
Well keep your head up and don't you look down
Keep your head up and don't you look down
I wish I could
If you're a lot like me you keep everything deep inside
Locked it up tight and kept out of sight away from prying eyes
Everything changed and I haven't been the same since the day my father died
If you're a lot like me you keep everything deep inside
Can't tell if you're real or just a ghost
All my friends keep telling me I gotta let it go
I wish I could
I wish I could
Tell you everything's gonna be alright
I wish I could
