What am I giving up to dream this big?
To blindly lead myself to the cliff
I can’t be remembered chained behind a door
I fear it won’t take much for this to give a little more
You can keep coming for me
(Give it your best shot)
You can keep coming for me
(Is that good or not?)
But I won’t be caught
I’m pulling my weight
I’m picking up steam
Nothing is ever gonna be the same
I’ve been failing for so long
I can wait to beat my own streak
I better start running
If I’m gonna get away
I have to ask myself
Are you just part of the problem?
Are you even an artist?
My finger hurts
But was it worth it?
I know it's a dream, but why does it feel so real to me?
What am I giving up?
But am I ready for change?
Is today the day?
That I just say ok
But I know
That I won’t
Just give up

I saw you outside your habitat
You avoided all of us, and that was that
Not a glance back
How could see you through?
What we know wasn’t me?
How could you see through?
Everything I want to be
This town ain’t big enough for the both of us
Flannel pressed, hair elegantly messed
"Better than thou" written upon your chest
All I needed was a light
And you activated my fight or flight
And it’s all brand new
For you to see where you came from
And I’ve got your clue
That your words are making me numb
And I can’t wait to see you come down
How could see through?
What we know wasn’t me?
How could you see through?
Everything I want to be
This town ain’t big enough for the both of us
I want to see you steppin’
I’ve got a new position
What’s that your bringing?
Better watch your back
Because I’m coming out swinging
My one and only mission
And it’s all brand new
For you to see where you came from
And I’ve got your clue
That your words are making me numb
And I can’t wait to see you come down
And I can’t wait to hear your screams make no sound
This town ain’t big enough for the both of us
I want to see you steppin’

It’s such a big move
Showing all your cards
Fold up your hands
We have no regards
Let me tell you what I learned
Playing all my friends
Like a fool you’ve been
Fucking up again
And this is how we’ll spend our time
Dissecting every word you say
Who Cares? You’ll be fine.
And I am not the one who waits
Projecting failures that you’ve made
Good luck. I can’t stay.
Can you see the pattern?
Is it hurting your head?
To be so brave?
Saying everything as it comes into your brain
Can you be this upset?
Over what you are?
Just when I think it can’t worse you’ll move the bar
And this is how we’ll spend our time
Dissecting every word you say
Who Cares? You’ll be fine.
And I am not the one who waits
Projecting failures that you’ve made
Good luck. I can’t stay.
You’ll find a way to
You’ll find a way to play dead
Can you see the pattern?
And this is how we’ll spend our time
Dissecting every word you say
Who Cares? You’ll be fine.
And I am not the one who waits
Projecting failures that you’ve made
Good luck. I can’t stay.
You’ll find a way to
You’ll find a way to play dead
I’ll fight my way out
I’ll fight my way out of your head

Hard Pressed For Success

I’m not so sure
I can keep my hands to myself anymore
As the rope twists
I begin to struggle up against it
And can you see
The ghost in me?
This has a certain way of ending up
If I just give my life away
But if I never ever close my eyes
I could just stay awake
And It’s far too heavy
To carry this burden around
But you know what that’s about
I’ve wasted my good times
I’m worried about how I’m
Still picking up the pieces
As I start to leave them
And can you see
The ghost in me?
This has a certain way of ending up
If I just give my life away
But if I never ever close my eyes
I could just stay awake
And It’s far too heavy
To carry this burden around
But you know what that’s about
It’s an excuse to close my eyes and sway as I start to decay
If I just let go, I can thrive
If I just let go, I can die
Can I give it a try?
(If I just let go, I can die)
What’s it like?

(Okay, here we go)
I'm isolating myself
(Oh, yeah?)
To feel something new
(But what else?)
I apologize more in my head than I'd like to
(Oh, shit!)
Show me where the feelings come from
Show me how I need to become
More than I already am
(Can you just play pretend?)
There’s always an excuse…
We were so afraid of death
We forgot to live it up
I just can’t decide
What progress looks like
As the weather starts to change
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
I could see myself do the same
I’ll wait as long as I can
To see you safe
(Way to go!)
It just so easy to complain
About everything I won’t fix
(Uh oh)
I’m one bad t-shirt away
From a fucking crisis
There’s always an excuse
To never make a move
We were so afraid of death
We forgot to live it up
I just can’t decide
What progress looks like
You’re not what you said you were
(When will you tell the truth?)
You’re not what you said you were
(You’re lying to the mirror)
Am I made to suffer?
Or is this not what you offered?
Am I made to suffer?
This is not what I want!
(Just calm down, You’ll be fine, I swear it)
I am so afraid….
We were so afraid of death
We forgot to live it up
I just can’t decide
What progress looks like
There’s always an excuse….

I’ve been pensive about what you said
And now it’s caught up in my head
How am I ever gonna let it go?
It’s like a blood disease
That crawls within me
And I never know how to treat it
You’re sliding up my spine
Never giving me time
I just know I hate it
You’re looking at me in the eyes
And I got a lot to say
But my tongue is twisted up in my brain
Been thinking about what to do
When it comes to telling the truth
And I just want to say one thing….
I’ve got nothing left to prove to you
Even if you think I do
It’s just not true
I’ll keep moving forward with my dreaming
Never gonna slow down now
You’re always on your way out
You’ve got a lot of nerve coming in here
And your presence makes it so much more severe
Am I ever gonna let you know?
I’m only begging you, please
To believe what I see
If only I could care to change it
Watch the clock tick by
As you’re losing the time
To save wasn’t worth it
You’re looking at me in the eyes
And I got a lot to say
But my tongue is twisted up in my brain
Been thinking about what to do
When it comes to telling the truth
And I just want to say one thing….
I’ve got nothing left to prove to you
Even if you think I do
It’s just not true
I’ll keep moving forward with my dreaming
Never gonna slow down now
You’re always on your way out
I am becoming someone else
I never asked for this
How much more can I resist?
I never asked for this
I hope you choke on what scares you
I hope it doesn’t move
I hope it stays in your throat
All this was avoidable

What are they saying about you me and again?
It’s one too many times around
Around the bend
I think I fucked up again
I want to try something new
Something I know won’t break
Just stick with me kid and have a little faith
I don’t care about your energy
I just care about our synergy
(My head is killing me)
I’m “stuck” in love with you and no I don’t want to change our view
I'll never sing a song about you so this will have to do
There’s nothing worse than this empty bed
It’s haunted by dread
I wish I heard what you said
I’ve never been one to pray
But just for heaven’s sake
I’m burning at both ends and buried by the weight
I don’t care about your energy
I just care about our synergy
(My head is killing me)
I’m “stuck” in love with you and no I don’t want to change our view
I'll never sing a song about you so this will have to do
This one’s on me
And I failed to see
How I built this room
To become our tomb
I can do better
I have to
I’m not sure where I go
When it starts to overflow
I just know
I still feel the glow
(Why I can’t just make this easy?)
My head is killing me
I’m “stuck” in love with you and no I don’t want to change our view
I'll never sing a song about you so this will have to do

Digging up the dirt
Between your home and mine
Finding out it’s worth
And putting it back in time
I’ve been good
Waiting for my throne
I’ve been so good
Biting my tongue quite often
This is gonna burn
I don’t care where you are coming from
This is all I wanted and I won
I don’t care how much it hurts
This is all I wanted and I won
My nails rip deep into the floor
Pulling back the weight I've been destined to endure
Hey I want to thank you for what you did for me
It’s just too bad you won’t hear what I really mean
This is gonna burn
I don’t care where you are coming from
This is all I wanted and I won
I don’t care how much this hurts
This is all I wanted and I won
Now I’ve seen you fail
It’s almost too good to be true
I’ve got nothing left to say to you

Laughing In The Dark

I will let you down
But wIll you still stick around?
Even through the hardest parts?
To stay laughing in the dark
I'm afraid we will forget
Each other and what we always thought it meant
To keep such a secret
So close to my chest
I light you up to help myself again
Where do I begin to show you I’m all in?
My love feels so obvious
But it only leaves you oblivious
I don’t deserve you at all
I’m in my head again
And you’re right there to mend it
I don’t deserve you at all
I will let you down
But wIll you still stick around?
Even through the hardest parts?
To stay laughing in the dark

I never stood a chance
With this race against time
The swinging pendulum
Has never been that kind
How many times can I say?
They had it coming anyway
They’re pulling my medicine
But that won’t set you free
What’s the point of living?
If I can’t take them with me
I’ll probably never use my mouth again
I have it figured out
I’ll probably never use my mouth again
But I have my doubts
My pen, it levitates now
And awaits my move
The sharpest it can be
Dig into every groove
How many times can I say?
They had it coming anyway
They’re telling me it’s a sickness
But it feels like a charm
I can see straight through them
No cause for alarm
I CALL THEM LIKE I SEE THEM
Don’t mistake my attitude for more than it is
I’ll probably never use my mouth again
I have it figured out
I’ll probably never use my mouth again
But I have my doubts
