Fluorescent lights shine down
I wonder how we got here now
Was it the fragile structure
That holds you up
And keeps you warm at night
And i’ve been trying to let my issues go
But it gets harder and harder with every blow
We fall
We fall
We fall to pieces
Pick things up
And just repeat it
Every lie is a little bit different
Every time I get a little more distant
So much to do
So much to be
The worlds a fucked up place
Open your eyes you’ll see
I don’t know all the answers
Even though I claim to
And that’s just me
A little shallow when I need to be
A little brash but I don’t care what you think
No I don’t care what you think
We fall
We fall
We fall to pieces
Pick things up
And just repeat it
Every lie is a little bit different
Every time I get a little more distant
And all I know is your too close
To him
Tonight it feels so right
Up on the roof we sing these songs
With hopes that you will sing along
Sleep on it thats what they said
But this sleeps just fucking with my head
You see
The irony
Anchors on ankles pull me down
Faster than I thought I could
Drown in the sound of your voice
I need you now
Cut ties with everything you’ve ever know
It’s time to swim on your own

This bottle’s kinda drowning you out tonight
I think it’s best if we both move along
Pick a different night to fight
All we do with the time we are given now
Is talk about how it’s all wrong
And how we think we don’t belong
Everyone keeps telling me what to do
I think it’s best if I keep doing me
You should probably focus more on you
This shallow fractured me
Too afraid to stand up tall
For everyone else to see
What i’ve managed to be
This isn’t what I need these days
The good thing about life is you can’t run away
Oh no I did it again
I thought I needed a friend
When all I needed
Was some company to get me through the week
Not like I care anymore
Just your insecurities
You’ll find an open door
When you move on why can’t you see
She said I gave you my heart
And you just tore it apart
And I wish you’d see from my point of view
Not like you ever do
And i’ll stay up all night
Watch you sleep next to me
Just incase this is the last time
Our fingertips will ever meet
Let go of what you can’t change
Your life’s a reflection of decisions you’ve made
Are you happy with the path you chose to take
And I know it’s hard to see it now
Head over heels we all fall down
For better days is years to come
I’ll fight this war I thought i’de won

Pull me up from this ledge i’m sinking
Inside of all these feelings
The raging waters coming in
Surround my heart
I’ll let you in
And when there’s no where else to go
You’ll find out this is home
On your back porch step I put it all on the line
Cause you know I felt like I was running out of time
Same conversation
10 million damn times
You talk about how I don’t listen
And how you know that i’ll be missing
You when your gone
But I think you got this all wrong
Cause i’m thinking every second might be my last
And it keeps giving me these heart attacks
Pull me up from this ledge i’m sinking
Inside of all these feelings
The raging waters coming in
Surround my heart
I’ll let you in
And when the ocean takes its toll
Into far waters I will float
The stars at night will guide me
Until I find what seek
Head strong continue on my way
Thats what she use to say to me
Don’t need you or anybody else
I can do this by myself

Meant To Seem

For the first time in my life i’ve had to let things go
Not knowing where i’m going
If you leave just leave me knowing
That I still care about you
And that this tattoo right here reminds me of you
Sail away from the safe harbor
Catch trade winds to the east
Cause every part of me knows I should leave
But thats not happening
Friends I thought that were there
Were just fair weather didn’t care
Cause thats all that they know
And it really kinda shows
Drag your thoughts away from trouble
It’s only bringing you down
You’ll find peace in other things
Thats how this world was meant to seem
Don’t count too quick the days do slip away in sunny waves
Lay to rest blue skies open up wide eyes
So we can dive into the night
And fight
For like the millionth time i’ll say your right
To try and end this age old war of pride and right
But I think you just like to fight
The grass is always greener on the other side
You always dig too deep cause you don’t know whats right
I’m a mess
I’m a wreck and I don’t know why
Take away from life
What it tends to hide
Let the water touch my face so I can know i’m alive
Things don’t feel the same when i’m alone at night
Tell me all your secrets
There is no need to apologize
I’m an expert at extracting all those things you can’t deny
I’m a monster in my own right
Slay me down before I rise
Cause the fall from tall is pretty fucking far
When you don’t know who you are
