As It Is

[Verse 1] All the stories my father told They spoke of your golden heart Now the air in the room is cold As your memories fall apart [Pre-Chorus] (You fear the silence) So I keep the words coming (You only remember that) Once all the clocks stop runn...

Tell me again Tell me every way I failed you Tell me everything Everything you think but never dare to speak Compared to you I'm a statue That everyone sees through If no one else would miss me Then I'd like to think you would This dependency Will s...

I can't help the way my mind is hardwired to hate myself 'Cause I swear that this is hell The way I desperately try to save myself 'Cause I can't save myself A single breath in empty lungs That's all I got left gasping for air And a bad idea branded in...

You've got everything to look up to from the bottom You've got everyone else to compare yourself against So forget it, you're forgotten in a world so disenchanted Always asking, never knowing Is it just you or everybody else? We're the kids who are dead...

You don't say what you mean When you say I'm what you need You tell white lies from your heart of gold I'm not the place you want to be I’m just the places in between I feel complete but uncomfortable I get distracted by the greener grass But I always f...

Forced smiles in picture frames Memories of better days All these white walls that look so dark at night Scared kids sit on the couch Mom and dad take final bows And their hearts break as the chapter reads its end, its end [Chorus] Looking for an answe...

It really hurts to know that I'm why your bed's half empty Why you sleep alone or just stare up at your ceiling And if you're a mess, god knows what that makes me 'Cause the weight from all my guilt is all too much for me to carry I'm sorry Am I all that...

What good is a life When you live it ashamed? I dream just to be halfway But all I am is the product of wasted effort and best intentions If the only place I belong is an afterlife that I just can't believe in At least I'll know I was born so not everyo...

You're terrified, fighting and flailing at the future Just back down All you defy you can't escape so make the best of it The rest of all you have is running out fast But maybe all it is you need is someone who has been there first and knows their way arou...

A decade's worth of damage done in unsaid words We both know that's not what you deserved There was always love, it was there but never spoken of You held on when I was not enough It's a shame, this has taken me so long to say Hey Rachel, I'm sorry I w...

There's no god if this is all there is for me, A temper and conceptions that I'm lonely. When death comes, I'll be ready, But I'll waste my life preparing. There's so much more to life than breathing. I see life through a dog's eyes, A world in black...

We saw our breath under the streetlights on the coastline But we were warm with cheap coats on and the glow in our eyes Anybody with half their mind would’ve kept warm inside But we’re young and have a point to prove, so let’s do this in style There’s...

How long's it been since I was young? Fifteen years since wooden guns, Six years since playing board games was anywhere near fun And it'd be over-dramatic to say the world forgot about me on its way But that's not always enough to keep cursing the whole of...

More thought is less than said More thought inside my head Hard times and violent times Closed eyes and still framed minds Cause all thoughts, hate modern words It’s not just, the truth that hurts Scars heal, but never stray Well I see another day Anot...

[Intro] Inside as the rain came pouring down It can’t wash away all this hurt that haunts me now [Verse 1] Inside as the rain came pouring down I’m losing touch with the only soul I’ve found Desperate delusions are all I have Just to keep me hanging on...

I often think to myself, "Don't let your guard down." But my fucking useless arms are always tired I'm worse than I've ever been I used to find comfort in how everyone's got problems And it's selfish of me But I'd rather just be fine I take precau...

I don't know if I've been worse I don't know if I can change But right now, I don't think, I don't think that I'm okay I felt a year's worth of hurt and sadness catching up with me The sky I painted to silence the pain, it is bleeding into grey I don't k...

I think it's time we talk, say everything I know a secret that your eyes won't keep That you're the author of a tragedy So tell me how it ends [Verse 2] You have a stubborn heart I can't persuade I'll say three words you won't reciprocate I know you wa...

My early memories only come in handfuls And those that follow span a decade uneventful They live in VCRs that play my scrapes and scars on a screen for all 'Cause I was never one to look at them as anchors But something lighter like a souvenir or postcard...

I want to cross stitch shut my eyes Wage a war on the world outside Brace the barricade in my mind, But that’s alright I stretch the truths ’til they lose shape As support beams bend and break Watch reality’s slow cascade, But that’s alright And I’ve...

I've grown out of hope I'm giving up on living up to my expectations 'Cause I'm the kind of kid who'd abandoned ship Not go down with it 'Cause it always seems I'm in a house of mirrors When I can barely look at myself No. I can barely look at myself......

Four walls and a door We used to call home The rest of our lives but not enough time till we're both alone I try to steady my hands You hurt to know why I open my mouth and just trip over sounds But my eyes speak goodbye The silence tells us all we need...

[Verse 1] I went missing on the inside Alone with every version of myself that's died I fight to get you out of my head But where I'm most exposed is where you make your bed [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause who I've been and who I'm not We're all the same [Verse...

Fix me, I'm defective. Stitch me up and make me feel new again. Take all that's wrong and correct it. Leave nothing that resembles this mess that I am. I miss what never was with us, our fiction I constructed. You're everywhere and all that I think abou...

Why should I stick around When all I do is let you down? Can I ask you a question When you see my reflection? Do you see good intentions Where I see no progression? Speak soft, speak soft Your forgiveness Tell me lies, tell me that I deserve it Spe...

My heart's as heavy, As these nights are long, And I curse these spaces between my fingers Where for a time you belonged And you'll find somebody new who's worth your time, Someone who's words sound sweeter than mine All that I meant, Trying my best ju...

[Verse 1] (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh) Long live forgotten days The city lights that paint the waves The sea air inside my lungs (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh) The memories we made back then Forever splintered in my skin Feeling like the only ones (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh) [Chorus]...

Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Straining our lungs to be heard Nobody's listening Nobody's listening Losing our way in these words I spill word after word like blood down my shirt Tarnished and stained forever but you You only heard the words n...

1, 2, 3 She holds my hands But it doesn't feel the same Is it in my head Or has she really slipped away? Her voice, her love Make the night shine like the sun But her silence is cold I feel my mind's come undone She's all I've got But I still feel...

Hello consumer I know you're there So let me sing you this new dose of lies we've carefully prepared Hello consumer Just close your eyes And listen close enough and this song might just save your fucking life We live in the Great Depression This is how...

There's a song that sounds a lot like you It pulls me up, just like it pulls me apart Optimistic meets a dismal tune You're all the while, broken and mended hearts You take my silences and make them less alone A fresh coat of paint inside my coffin so it...

It's haunting It's haunting He wanted you, did you want him too? When demons keep you up for weeks You beg for sleep He wanted you, did he force you to? This system doesn't sell the truth So death to youth Can you hear me (Can you hear me) Can you...

Another drink, another smoke I let them burn, inside my throat Like a bully bleeds from his knuckles out In a darkened room quiet and alone (Quiet and alone) Because we all Need to feel release Because we all Wanna be at peace Because we all Need to...

Is it all just a beautiful nightmare, am I nothing more? Will I sink to the bottom of nowhere or arrive ashore? Holding on is a question unanswered one I can't ignore Is it all just a beautiful nightmare, am I nothing more? Show me how it ends Will I sti...

I'm staring death in his eyes I watch the world cave in Drained like the color from my skin Is this real, is this really happening? I used to sing his praise But now there's no sweetness in his name He's been dying to show me to my grave Now what I see...

I see a pain behind your eyes I know you feel it everyday It’s like a light that slowly dies But it’s better not to say It's better not to say such things out loud Just close your eyes and bite your tongue for now Don’t let them see you fall Stay stron...

How long's it been, it must be months I swear this time I meant to keep in touch Like always I'm calmly coasting off the rails My teeth in battle with my fingernails Like always And I could tell you how I've really been But would you even want to know...

When I think of us I see a love that lasts Until the very end, us dying hand in hand Death is whispering his answer to my fears But with consequence I'd have to leave you here I tell him there's no chance I'm not giving him my soul It doesn't feel it no...

Brothers, sisters, young and old We’re all to blame for the wounded world Jet black hearts and abandoned souls We're all to blame for the wounded world Brothers, sisters, young and old We’re all to blame for the wounded world Jet black hearts and abando...

The memories are still so bright but I keep the curtains drawn I've never been like this Or am I just, romanticizing a person that's gone I can only take so much before I spill my guts But I'm terrified of letting you see what I'm thinking But you left b...

[Chorus] You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight I still lose my way from time to time You can't keep me sane when I'm out of sight I promise I'll fight but I can't promise that I'll be fine [Verse 1] You treated the damage that I let reside in my...

Another night I spend alone Dinner for one and TV shows (You knocked me down) Set me alight, I'll still feel cold Subsequent to a life you chose I'm just a fact you read, I'm in your head then out again I'm just the skin you shed and want until the wint...

All that we were after was an escape To revel in the things that made us who we are And oh, the way you shattered and swept away The bigger piece of happiness we'd found 'Cause if this is war, you're the one to our thousand We won't let you outlive your...

How long, how long ’til I’m no longer a shadow ‘Cause I’ve been thinking I’d so love to feel again Silence; I screamed her name And wondered why you never came I wear my... I wear my curse you wear my cure (I feel destined) I never thought I’d be this...

Take care of yourself But carry the whole world Just forget that it hurts From ankle to collarbone And you think And you bury your head away And you sink It's just you, the room, and the devil on your shoulder Take care of yourself But you wish you...
