What We've Become

It feels like I'm on the wrong side of the road cause lately, I've been sleepwalking, cheap talking, and haunting this place like a ghost. Something's got to change. I'm dead to everyone, and I know that I'm to blame.
This year's been evil and twisted, I got lost in the mix of letting go and giving up. But I'll keep singing and writing these songs, because my life would be pointless if you couldn't sing along.
I've made a lot of mistakes and I just can't stop rewinding through the lies I've been hiding. So just drink it away, forget the price that we'll pay, because I'm always going to be a lost boy in this cold dark world.
What are words when no one receives? When you've all given up what you used to believe in me? I've made it so far, but I'm washed up in a town with no hope. There's just no luck.
I know exactly what I am.
I know sometimes it's hard to understand.
I've made a lot of mistakesand I just can't stop rewinding through the lies I've been hiding. So just drink it away, forget the price that we'll pay, because I'm always going to be a lost boy in this cold dark world.
Becuase who we are and what we've become,
they're just reminders that tell us where we're from.
I've made a lot of mistakes and I just can't stop rewinding through the lies I've been hiding. So just drink it away, forget the price that we'll pay, because I'm always going to be a lost boy in this cold dark world.

The Best That I Can Be

We gave it all up and lived happy for a while baby,
girl you just drive me crazy. And I miss some parts of you, like those hot summer nights when we had nothing else to do but keep each other company. No one cared about you or me. And I'd hold you so tight, and I'd breath you in. I'd hold you so tight and you'd let me in.
I hope you never leave my side, sometimes I feel I lose sight of what's right in front of me. Is this the best that I can be?
I'm tearing down these walls that I've built up
from living broken and torn apart.
I feel invisible.
Am I invisible?
I hope you never leave my side, sometimes I feel I lose sight of what's right in front of me. Is this the best that I can be? And if you ever had a doubt, I'll always wear my heart out open for all to see, because you mean the world to me.
the lights are softer now.
my time is running out.
I hope you never leave my side, sometimes I feel I lose sight of what's right in front of me. Is this the best that I can be? And if you ever had a doubt, I'll always wear my heart out open for all to see, because you mean the world to me.

The Long Way Home

I swear I'm not crazy, but I've got so much to say and I can't find a way to explain to you baby. I swear I'll come clean if you ask the right questions.
Somedays I feel like I'm dying.
I'm sick and tired of trying.
You know I'll always be honest.
I'm so tired and confused, I don't wanna be used, but you could walk all over me. Hey girl, just walk all over me.
I hate the man I've become; so angry and full of excuses. I'm useless. Drunk and alone with no care at all, I need you so close, but all we have are phone calls to wash the pain away. I'm broken down, I'm so strung out, and I've been brewing a love out of jealousy. I've been hurting myself just for you to see.
You know I'll always be honest.
I'm so tired and confused, I don't wanna be used, but you could walk all over me. Hey girl, just walk all over me.
You're a new brand of existence, a chance, and a test. Just a small sign to show that there's something left to experience. I'm delirious, and it's hard to take anyone serious.
How many times will we take the long way home
to the places that we've come so far from?
It's not where you're at, but who you're keeping close to the closest parts of you.
You know I'll always be honest.

I'm delirious.

No Surrender

The first thing I remember was feeling hope with no surrender. But years have passed, and times have changed. Life just doesn't feel the same as when we still believed in a world where we could dream abou the things that we saw when we closed our eyes and thought out loud.
Our hearts are open to recieving, but there's a line drawn in the sand when your lies are constantly repeating. I know exactly where I stand.
I never thought I'd hate the feeling of growing up, it's defeating, it's hard to overcome. My heart's still beating, but I'm barely breathing. It's the way we've been treated that leaves us feeling numb, and now we're vauge and depleted. Motionless and drifting through the world.
sinking deeper.
Our hearts are open to recieving, but there's a line drawn in the sand when your lies are constantly repeating. I know exactly where I stand.
This world's deceiving, you've gotta find yourself within. You'll never get where you're going, if you forget where you have been.
We will overcome.

You're 19 and full of lies, and every thursday night you'll go drink the town dry. And sit at the bar hoping for someone to take you home, sit at the bar hoping for anyone to take you home.
I know you hurt inside; it's all your fault. It's all your fault. Maybe you should treat people differently, and you wouldn't have to go to bed crying yourself to sleep.
Hold your breath while I continue breathing. I'll call you out in front of all your new friends. They haven't found out you have two faces. It's only a matter of time...
It's 4am and you stumble out, the city streets are full of people, you've got a crowd. And you're on his shoulder asking where he will take you next. knowing that surely, you'll end up in his bed.
Your dress falls to the floor.
Girl you know you want more.
Your dress falls to the floor.
Girl you know you want...
Hold your breath while I continue breathing. I'll call you out in front of all your new friends. They haven't found out you have two faces. It's only a matter of time til you replace them.
Hold your breath while I continue breathing. I'll call you out in front of all your new friends. They haven't found out you have two faces. It's only a matter of time...
Most of us have found you out
and soon enough we'll bring you down.
Hold your breath.
Hold your breath while I continue breathing. I'll call you out in front of all your new friends. They haven't found out you have two faces. It's only a matter of time...

Dealbreaker

I see it in your eyes, you lost a lot of precious time. And although I know you tried, something deep inside you died.
You made a name for yourself, and dropped all you had for decisions they were bad for your health. Now all that's left is an empty shell.
I wanna save you somehow, but it's easier said than done. I wanna pull you back out, but it's easier left untouched.
The past is the past, but don't leave it buried. It's time to let go of all the weight that you carry.
I wanna save you somehow, but it's easier said than done. I wanna pull you back out, but it's easier left untouched.
We've been constructed from expectation, a harsh realization that no one wants to face. We're all results of a selfish sedation, it's the only salvation that we can truly embrace.
I wanna save you somehow, but it's easier said than done. I wanna pull you back out, but it's easier left untouched.
I wanna save you somehow
It's easier said than done
I wanna pull you back out
It's easier left untouched.
I wanna save you somehow.

Consequences

I've been thinking too much tonight. It's so hard to get you out of my mind.
Do you remember the long nights and long drives? Or staying up all night to watch the sun rise? All the stupid fights when I made you cry? I guess I was too fucked up to drop my pride.
Another lesson learned, another page you've burned from a book that I never read. Some things are better left unsaid.
I sat and watched him adore you. You hadn't said it but for some reason I knew that it was over by the look in their eyes. You didn't even wanna tell me goodbye.
But I recall a time when you missed me, so I met you half way and you kissed me. and we made love one last time, I miss the way your body feels on mine.
Another lesson learned, another page you've burned from a book that I never read. Some things are better left unsaid. I hope it hurts like a knife in your side when you hear my voice, every single time. Justice prevails for the lost and weak, keep that in mind when his tounge's in your cheek.
Just dry your tired eyes
These wounds will heal in time.
