Departures

I drew a line in the wet sand Then watched the smoke rise in the distance Listening to time standing still The birds in the air Sing the songs of my childhood Listening to time standing still The grey smoke rises It carries my thoughts with it in...

Getting to grips with losing control There are some things that I think you should know That all the scars that I can't help but show Are like hands that grip tightly around my throat And I'm still picking apart that winter night we found ourselves fa...

Falling short of everything you ever thought you'd be Losing hope in happy memories Trapped in a life you never thought would be yours Left to exist in denial Weeks come and go wishing you could be someone else But your dead weight is pulling you apart...

Lying awake inside my own dreams Left stranded in mid-July Waiting to hear your words Still hanging on that line I've lost count of the years I've lost sight of what I'm doing here Waiting to hear your words Still hanging on that line It's like...

Five more steps and I'll leave this home I won't be coming back, and deep down I know That this will be the last time, and time is running slow Every footstep that I take makes the loudest sound Closing doors to empty rooms This isn't how I pictured...

There's that lump in my throat The one that I get when I'm sat all alone Brought to me by anxiety and a life unknown It's the thought of death it completely surrounds me It never lets me go Wait 'til tomorrow, they say But what if it doesn't come...

This is the disappointment It's all unravelling Passing out on these pillows that we used to share Lying to myself, helpless with myself Thinking through dead end memories What did you really mean to me? Sick to my stomach Of staring at these four wal...

A disappearing smile across a face where love once grew I left it all behind for the chance of something new I've seen what happens when all the love drains out I've seen what's left of a love stained in doubt I thought I couldn't leave everything beh...

Swallowed up, we're falling off the edge 

I know there's a silence that will never be filled The smiles that cover up the scars that never healed There's still a sadness that's engrained on our hearts So unprepared for it all but longing for those false starts It's like nothing we ever had dreame...

I can remember the taste That morning your heart fell from my hands I can still see your face And the way my soul fell as I let you go The sun never touches us Still it climbs through my windows I let the night cover us Because it knew our names...

If I could measure the distance Between the lightness and the shade I could make sense of this dark And I could find my way It felt like it was raining But only inside my head Waiting in that dark room For her songs to guide my way The world...

I watch the second hand As it stumbles past that number 12 It's such a vicious hand That pushes everything away from me So young, with all the time in the world You run and hide Mapping out so many dreams, so many plans When so much is new Th...

I've woken up cold Feeling like the loneliest boy in the world Waking up freezing Knowing that you͛re gone I'm woken up sick to stomach Knowing I can never see you again Waking up so lonely Knowing that you're gone I'm having one way conversat...

My world is upside down Everything is starting to fade out I dream of living in brighter days And not feeling so fucking far away My world is upside down All I can do is wait this out With my heart in my mouth I guess I’ll have to wait this out I gue...

It’s those same sad eyes Those distant familiar red eyes Looking through me with all their honesty I always thought that I was by myself Holding on alone, I didn’t need anyone’s help But now you've taken my hand and all the fear is gone You’ve taken my...

There are no more chances left for us The sound of tired conversations coming from rooms where we never go fill the air around us And we never knew any names, we never fitted in Are we ready to just fade out? Why do we pour our hearts out into nothing...

Waking up so cold In this bed I’ve laced with sweat Dripping in all my “used to be’s” As I start to reminisce, I start to breathe it in That nostalgic air I remember thinking Those were the days when the rain couldn't fall I remember the deep blue skie...

I'm sick of waking up inside my own dreams I know I'm just escaping from me And the person I was meant to be I'm losing count of ways to forgive myself When I should have some faith in the life I lead Where do our hearts go when this is over? Are...

Walking down a path I've known so well Where the heat of the sun is hidden by the trees The noise of the distant cars Sounds like the hollow sound of that lonely sea And I pretend your hand is in mine I pretend our steps are together I pretend eve...

Walking this concrete wishing for the rain Wishing for the rain without a cloud in the sky Walking this concrete feeling so lost Feeling so lost so close to your front door It’s when the sun catches my eye Strikes my heart every Sunday morning It’s when...

Swallowed up by another hollow year Sleepless hours, just wishing it away Swallowed up by another hollow year Too many wasted hours Trapped inside this dying love Walking half asleep Through all these woken dreams Hoping one more step Will take me whe...

My fair-weather friend, I can never tell if I'm happy to see you again Those familiar roads seem to welcome me They show me the way home, is this where I need to be? My teenage haze spent under these dim lights The came and went too fucking fast T...

We've been through this a thousand times And I'm not tired yet I don't just want to leave this here I couldn't live with the regret I think we lay asleep for years Time flew past as our eyes And I would give up everything For just one more minute...

I opened the car door and climbed inside Trembling hands clutching broken pride Stare through misted glass as my thoughts rewind I was counting every breath, I was counting on the end I just wanted a way out As I pull out the street, it's now totally ou...

With baited breath Waiting for the promise of something more Feet unsteady, not so sure With baited breath And looking over the edge Stare at everything that I used to be I learned the art of keeping secrets from everyone I know I've learned to...

Everything's the same,feeling so fucking drained Voice stretched out across discordant tones that fill up my life Maybe I'm just wrapped up in self pity Or maybe it's the thought of all this repetition My head is pounding But it's only silence coming out...

We're both still suffocating Waiting for something, waiting for nothing It's what I feared the most We're surrounded by lights Each one's a fucking ghost And each one shines out Remind me of what I used to be They never stayed for too long Wh...

Drawing blood from forgotten friends In a vein attempt to feel normal again No loving exits, no words to say To the pieces of me you made me throw away You destroyed my life And these are the words I could never say This is your goodbye Fuck you 

Hanging on the end of the phone I'm hanging on your every word Dying to see you Dying in this light Wanting to hear your voice Find new ways to tell me it͛s okay Wanting to hear you Waiting to hear myself Waiting to start again As the nights...

It's been two weeks since pulling out my first heart All that's left is the anger, that was there from the start Stuck in reverse down this one way street I try and hold my mouth but I can't fucking speak I try and open my mouth, but only silence comes out...

There are so many promises that we make to each other But none that we really keep This is mine for you, and this one will last us Until we're taken off to sleep So if you start to fall, I'll be the hand that won't let go When you're all alone, I'll...
