I'm not the first one to fall below
Into the cursed underground
But I'm the one who gave them hope
I can't afford to let them down
You placed your soul into my hands
Now all that's left are grains of sand
To my friend and my chaperone
Should've stayed here and made a home
Now you're gone and I'm all alone
Just a kid with a telephone
Could it be that I was wrong?
And is there hope to move along?
Now every night as I lie awake
I've got this fever dream I just can't shake
How did I miss the signs?
I was running blind
Tried to avert my eyes from my worst mistake
I never answer, but I'm aware
of the voices that resonate
I saved no one from despair
In the hopes I could create a legacy
But could it be that none of it belonged to me?
Now every night as I lie awake
I've got this fiendish fever dream
I just can't shake
Have I been here before?
Is there something more
buried within my core?
It fills me with D E T E R M I N A T I O N
But what is in my wake?
Innocent corpses,
I've shown no remorse
Is there some kind of force which
can guide me back into the light?
Because I lost my will to fight
Please tell me you're alright

Broke down, broken-hearted
Used up and discarded
Sit down, this is gonna be a long one
Okay, so here's the situation:
In my honest observation
We have reached an impasse
Turns out I just can't commit
You gave up, I'm already over it
Well...maybe that's not all true
This is all so confusing and fucked up
All I want is to turn back the clock
Back to that October night
We were so...
Calm down, don't lose focus
There's no one thing that broke us
Tension's been building for some time now
My mind's always flooded with dopamine
For all the nights you chose your friends over me
I lost myself among the trees
Fed up with comprimising
Almost can't recognize the person I have become
And the same goes for you
Let's be honest with ourselves and face facts
We can't unmark these stains from our hearts
We're so hung up on the past
Oh, we're so...
I've been empty for so long
Think it's time we put this thing to rest
You could prove me wrong, though
I still remember the first night we met
It cuts, like a beacon, through my memory
That ever-turning ocean of remorse
We locked eyes and I swore I knew you
From another time,
From a lifetime long since passed
I swore you could feel it, too
But it's far too late to remember that now
And my eyes are screaming for sleep
We still have the past in our memories
We always will
But it's finally time to let this go
I can finally see clear
And I'm ready to face this alone
No, my place is not here
I may be down, but I don't need you
I may be out but I don't need you
I may be lost, but I don't need you
I may be broke, but I don't need you

Split Ends

A storm is in the air
Its force has stripped me bare
Watch every piece of me
Break off like autumn leaves
Twisting on their way back down
See how I've come undone?
Detached from everyone
Searching for something profound
Lay out my life in front of me
What do I have to show?
Journey to self-discovery
Progressing far too slow
I can't shake off these growing pains
My soul is jaded and restrained
I feel the ocean rising up
Put down by anger and remorse
I'm lost, I'm way off-course
I feel the ocean rising up
Well, there's always room to grow
If you can pardon me
For acting selfishly
We can find some common ground
Not copacetic yet
But I am ready set
I'll make good this time around
Nothing but time ahead of me
So long as I'm alive,
I'll have a chance at inner peace,
To find a place to thrive
I will shake off these growing pains
I won't be jaded or restrained
I'll ride the ocean rising up
Fed up with anger and regret
You ain't seen nothing yet
I'll ride the ocean rising up
Well, the storm has passed us by
Here we are with hands held high

Melancholia
05:05

Looking out at a wasteland
I forget everything I am
It's too much, and my weak ends
They restrain every word in my head
But I've been waiting for this all night
It's slipping away from me
Well if you're looking for something to say
I've got nothing for you
except the sense that we're gonna break
My worst fears are coming true
We stopped chasing all our dreams,
And I have fallen out of place and time
She's gone, I'm lost
Stricken with the sickness of melancholia
It was never like you to surrender
Now look how the tables turned
If you're looking for someone to blame
Look deep inside yourself
I may be the one who broke off the chain
But you let it rust to hell
It's been a lifetime since we parted
Still not a word from you
You shut me out like a stranger
On my own like the last lone ranger
Is it too much just to call me?
Cause I'm moments away from falling
You're like a splinter in my brain
My steady conduit for pain
Trapped in this prison cell
Guess I'm as stubborn as I seem
Cause I still see you in my dreams
Clear as a warning bell

Darling (At The End)
04:04

My darling,
She's gone away
With my pain inside
And as the light dies
I will never forgive, never forget
We reap regret
This is it for me
And if you asked me about it,
I'd tell you to die
And I'd do it again
Again and again
Just give it a while
It's not my style
Can you tell me,
Will you be there?
Ooh, it's okay
The world's still turning
The sun hasn't died just yet
It's okay
Lose yourself in your sorrow
I'm here at the end of the day
Well, I'm no patriot
But I'd fight for you
It's not over yet
Can you feel it, too?
We've all lost someone
Some, more than one
It's hard to see
It's the lead we breathe when air is gone
It's so heavy, so heavy

One last glance
To bid farewell to planet Earth
Now I know
Once I'm gone, I won't return again
For the first time in my life,
I am truly alone.
As we slowly climb through the stratosphere,
the faces of all that I'm leaving behind
recede and start to fade
as quickly as the ground beneath my feet.
We're gaining more acceleration now.
Our final destination: the last frontier.
The Great Unknown.
We're breaking out
It's sinking out
The taste of fear
Adrenaline
Why did I leave?
What's done is done
No turning back
My home is here
Out in the black
Where only fools would dare to tread
Floating free
No longer bound by gravity
Closer to the fringes of the galaxy
The silence is deafening
My destiny is beckoning me
And I am ready
To lose myself
And find my place
Within the space outside of space
I can hear the void calling my name

Soapbox Songs
03:47

All these thoughts ringing in my head
Am I alive or am I dead?
Buy it, wear it, like it, share it
We’re living in a Facebook society
Ads breed war, songs breed sex
It ain’t hard to imagine what’s next
One more nail, another bullet
Anything that can keep me alive
Soapbox songs
A generation that could do no wrong
In a moment we can feel so young
Get lost as one
Stand up, be heard, it’s now or never
All things songs echo off the streets
Mindless drones lockin’ down the beat
Broken nails, a breath exhaled
Anything that could keep me alive
Waste away in front of silver screens
Spoon-fed lies and superficial dreams
I don’t buy it, but I can’t fight it
Not unless you’re standing by my side
Soapbox songs
This revolution never felt so wrong
Overdue, but know that we stand strong
Never broken down
We’re here at the edge
We’re not faceless,
or without pride
We’re not faceless,
we will not die
All I want
is a moment in the sun
I would give anything
Anything

Vacation

You came to me
Looking for all the things
I wasn’t ready to give up
I’ve been hiding from the truth
Hoping things would change
And I wouldn’t have to lose you
She’s trying to fix her life
while she’s walking
Listens to all our pretty songs
There, in the middle of the road
We stared into the night
And held each other close
Stars flicker and fade away
We’re still spinning here
No other place I’d rather be
But I’ve seen things like this go bad so many times
So why don’t you just go?
In the back seat of your car
You didn’t have to run so far
But you never thought about it
We all know she don’t like them anymore
So why don’t you just go?
Stay strong,
say goodbye and hurry on
It’s time for me to go

Can't Explain
04:38

Step back
Take a look around
Can you see your shadow,
or are you looking away?
No one can ever know this
Ooh, but they already notice
I guess this is something
that I should already know
I can't explain
The grass keeps growing
even when you're away
Some people change
I'll be waiting here for a little while
I'll be here for a little while
It's hard to think straight
When you're always so fucking stoned
I can't explain
Emmy, take my hand
Show me the light to guide me home
And home could be anyplace
Just stay by my side
Won't you stay by my side tonight?
At night it gets cold,
I'm missing you but that news is old
I can't explain
She waits for me
But I'll never go
She stays for me
But I don't love her
I never did
I can't explain

Coming & Going
03:50

You got me running in circles again
You're always going towards nowhere
You lost your sense of direction
And I won't be the one to guide you now
Cause you keep making the same mistakes
This is the only way you'll learn
Don't bother making a case for yourself
You're all talk, no action
You wasted your last chance to make this right
I'm wasted, you blew it, so say goodnight
Kick it back
Go have a heart attack again
And why not?
I wouldn't take it back if I could
I'll come and go as I please
Leave you begging on your knees
I didn't lie, no I had an alibi
You never checked
Why am I wasting all my time with you?
Giving you the run-around
A love that could not be found
You're always coming and going from here
Forever going towards nowhere
Don't bother searching for answers now
Maybe you'll find it someday
