Torn Apart

every time i try to clear my head
it fills with thoughts of you again
always second-guessing
i never learn my lesson
secretly you plan your next attack
by digging up the past
you're resurrecting memories
i did my best to bury
i'll just sit back
and watch you play pretend
just go ahead
'cause i'll be here smiling in the end
pushing forward
but you pull me back
until i'm left torn apart
leave me open-ended
filled with nothing but regret
( from the start )
next time that you try to take my hand
i won't let you drag me down again
this time i learned my lesson
never again
i know i said it before
but i'm moving on
still haven't found an answer
i could have given it more
but i gave it up and now i'm gone
and now i'm finding out the hard way
that there isn't an easy way
a silver lining slowly starts to fade
when you lead right to the sources of all my doubt
let go, and learn to live without

Playing House
04:00

as i confide
my caution subsides
will all my insecurity
topple over and crush me
'cause it's all that i know
and all that i hold
will be gone before too long
so i'll just try to hang on
but it's always easier said that done
don't pick up the phone
just 'cause you're alone
discover solitude to the bone
begin to find hope in
an unspoken motivation
this isn't a home
you're just playing house
in another sad imitation
you've got the space to grow
so make it a revelation
we were similar souls
both tortured and cold
how could i have been so wrong
believing we would ever belong
and still you said the words
you know i took to heart
it's only now i realize
the saddest part
that there was only one time
it was the first time
and nothing ever felt the same again
no time for hesitation
'cause i've gotta move on now
this is me, and i'm saving my goodbyes
for when i'm already gone

Lucid
03:01
|

drive, sole to the floor
like stomping out fires
kindled with care
i've been here before
sifting through the ashes
in search of something more
to justify all my destructive intentions
when i reach my limit, will i know
lucid daydreams
take ahold of my sanity
and i think about closing my eyes
and taking my hands off the wheel
( for a second )
fall to my knees
diminish my sense of security
all that i see
are demons in the red lights
staring back at me
stop running away
get a grip on your mind
before it escapes
block the light of day
if that's what it takes
to make yourself awake
don't you wanna know
what it feels like to fly
take a leap of faith
and leave everything behind
does't feel like falling
it's hard to describe
at least it doesn't feel like
you're running out of time
sick of progression with nothing to show
sick of your life

Misdirected
01:43
|

coming down
feeling worse the other way around
keeping bottles in your bedroom
spending every night alone
no wonder you could never feel at home
scattered all across the floor
secret life behind closed doors
stays unknown
never lose your faith in a unity
you're caught between a vice and me
the ever-constant back and forth
always leaves you wanting more
just be free
don't count me out
i'm not promising perfection
but i'll always be around
i might let you down
but i've got the best intentions
just a little misdirected

Fading
03:38
|
|||
you're fading out
bring me back
before you reveal your weakness
stay intact
and try to repair the broken pieces
it's cloudy in the haze
i think i lost my way
how did i end up here
did you disappear
i'm all alone and
i can feel you fading
you're slipping through the cracks
and falling down below
somebody tell me
that i'm still worth saving
i'm hanging by a thread
but i won't let it go
played it cool
'cause you were a risk worth taking
with a point of view
that living is dying is the making
sweet caress, fragile bones
can't forget the feeling
i'll suppress and leave it alone
you carried along
and left me on my own
and now that you're gone
just thought that you should know
you'll never know, you'll never see
you're missing out on everything
is it better now when you're not around
