1. SIXTEEN

You taught me how to stand and be the means
To walk away and leave

Say, say what you need to say
Because today I'm gonna leave this place
I just can't stay and watch you waste away
I promised myself I'd never let you hold me

Back, back, back again
Your custody battles have come to an end
So take, take, take all this hate
You're never gonna see me ever again

I'm packing up, getting out of this hell
You did this to yourself

I'm not holding on, I'm moving on
I'm leaving on my terms
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation
I'm celebrating this separation
You're never gonna see me without invitation
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation

Just so you know, you fucked up our whole home
You broke the pictures that I left and now you're all alone
So if you think that I'd come crawling back
Just know I promised myself I'd never let you hold me

Back, back, back again
Your custody battles have come to an end
So take, take all this hate
You're never gonna see me ever again
(Ever again)

I'm not holding on, I'm moving on
I'm leaving on my terms
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation
I'm celebrating this separation
You're never gonna see me without invitation
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation

You chose this life
That I can't live by your side
How could you
Leave me out to die when I've been dying on the inside
Say what you need to say
But I just can't stay (just can't stay)

I'm not holding on, I'm moving on
I'm leaving on my terms
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation
I'm celebrating this separation
You're never gonna see me without invitation
I'm better off on my own
A celebration of separation

No


2. FOURTEEN

I never knew my father was so broken inside our home
'Til the day I found my mother crying on the floor alone
She said, "how could he do this to me, how could he do this to us
I thought we made a promise, but instead he broke my trust"

Now I'm left with these questions

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
Why are we innocent raised within conflict?

I never knew that hearts could shatter just like broken glass
'Til you proved to me that love is fragile, you cracked yours in half
I just hope there's hope for me to stay home
So go ahead and call it off, go ahead and call it off

It's not just the fact that you're splitting up
It's that you're teaching me about giving up

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
Why are we innocent raised within conflict?

So I'm moving along now and
I'll carry on, trying the best that I can
Because of my father's sin
You blame your actions on him
Fighting a war within

I'm so afraid of us and counting on our heavenly
I'm on the other side I'm finally free with no concern
You always joked with me, forgave me, and now I see
You're my potential match, you were here for me, I am fourteen

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
(Now I'm left with these questions)

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
Why are we innocent raised within conflict?


3. INCREDIBLE

I spent 8 years down inside a hole
To convince myself where I was was home (oh no)
But the better part of giving up was awoken in you

Mistook comfort for love
I lost myself and gave the searching up (fuck)
You found me at my worst from there
You got me seeing things brand new

When I'm with you
There's a freedom
That I know me
And it deepens who we are (Who we are)
Who we are (Who we are)
I feel stronger
That I know you
Had to break myself just to show you
But it feels so (It feels so)
It feels so (It feels)

Incredible
Incredible
Incredible

Getting off my feet was pulling teeth
Losing everything to gain everything (my god)
50 stories down to cold concrete
It was worth it for you

So confused but content (content)
Sick inside but I got over it (oh yeah)
You found me at my worst
You got me feeling like brand new

When I'm with you
There's a freedom
That I know me
And it deepens who we are (Who we are)
Who we are (Who we are)
I feel stronger
That I know you
Had to break myself just to show you
But it feels so (It feels so)
It feels so (It feels)

Incredible
Incredible
Incredible

Through the pain and all the guilt
You're all I needed to rebuild
We never knew but it was so inevitable
You brought to life inside of me
The man I never thought I'd be
A place I know that I can call incredible

Broken down I was all alone
Stuck in a hell hole I called home
I never thought I could be saved
But then by grace
You found me down in a dark place
Pulled me out of all my old ways
Since then I've never felt anymore shame

When I'm with you
There's a freedom
That I know me
And it deepens who we are
Who we are
I feel stronger
That I know you
Had to break myself just to show you
But it feels so (It feels so)
It feels so (It feels)

Incredible
Incredible
Incredible

Through the pain and all the guilt
You're all I needed to rebuild
We never knew but it was so inevitable
You brought to life inside of me
The man I never thought id be
A place I know that i can call incredible


4. STRANGERS

We had the world, held it in our fists
But couldn't keep a grip
So now we're losing it

So this is where we're at, fucked up and both on the attack
Two screaming lovers stuck and only wishing they could take it all back
Only cynical, sympathy's a trait we learned to let go
Spilling guts to make a mess
These words have weight they're not just threats

The only way that this could possibly end
Is with two strangers who can't even try to pretend they're friends
And I'm not your friend

We're not meant to be (NO)
We're not meant to be
I'm no good for you and you're worse for me
But we're both too scared to leave
We're not meant to be (NO)
We're not meant to be
We always fix it up just to fuck it up
Resent, repent, repeat

So this is all that's left eight wasted years we can't get back
I only wish we could revise our time spent to avoid all this regret
But what's done is done, the past is dead except you won't leave it alone
Spilling guts to make a mess
These words have weight they're not just threats

If time was all it took for us to grow apart
Then I guess you never really cared for me like you said at the start
It's clear you lied you lied you lied
But this is the last time
Say your goodbyes this is my last line

We're not meant to be (NO)
We're not meant to be
I'm no good for you and you're worse for me
But we're both too scared to leave
We're not meant to be (NO)
We're not meant to be
We always fix it up just to fuck it up
Resent, repent, repeat

Someday you'll see I'm not the enemy
I tried, you lied it's time to leave this fucking love behind
Back the fuck up off me cause I've had it
I've had enough but you can't seem to stop it
You're only trying to hold onto us
Because you don't know where you would go on your own
You're just a lost soul

We had the world, held it in our fist
But couldn't keep a grip
So now we're losing it
We're holding on to what's already gone
Fighting a war that we've already lost
I know it hurts, know it hurts
I know it hurts to be alone
But I think it's time it's time to move on

We're not meant to be (NO)
We're not meant to be
I'm no good for you and you're worse for me
But we're both too scared to leave
We're not meant to be (NO)
We're not meant to be
We always fix it up just to fuck it up
Resent, repent, repeat


5. FIVE YEARS

I've had enough of you
Running your mouth
Swallow your tongue before I rip it out
Are you really that blind
Oh can you not see
I've had enough of your fucking games
I'm done with all the madness
Why should we keep this up when all we know is sadness

We don't speak we only shout
Raise our voices to drown the other out
Back and forth is all we know
But we're both too proud to let it go

Loosen up
Your wasting so much time
You're breathing down on my neck
And it's safe to say
I don't care if you're leaving
Loosen up
It's always me
Call me the enemy
Don't you forget when you start this fight
Two wrongs don't make it fucking right
I've waited around for too long

We're holding on
To nothing
Correct me if I'm wrong
Moving along
We're too far gone
I think I'm finally ready

Why, why would you always deny
When I know you lie
Because this isn't the first time
We've been here before
Always the same fight
Turning into war
I've had enough so

Loosen up
Your wasting so much time
You're breathing down on my neck
And it's safe to say
I don't care if you're leaving
Loosen up
It's always me
Call me the enemy
Don't you forget when you start this fight
Two wrongs don't make it fucking right

We're holding on
To nothing
Correct me if I'm wrong
Moving along
We're too far gone
I think I'm finally ready
We're holding on
To nothing
Tell me where did we go wrong
Moving along
We're too far gone
I think I'm finally ready to move on

Something tells me
This isn't the last time
The last time I'll ever leave you again
I pray to God that he can grant me the courage to drown out all the words that you've said

You won't hold me back again
Can't you see this is dead
Don't test me I'm at wits end
You'll never have me never ever again

We're holding on
To nothing
Correct me if I'm wrong
Moving along
We're too far gone
I think I'm finally ready
We're holding on
To nothing
Tell me where did we go wrong
Moving along
We're too far gone
I think I'm finally ready to move on


6. MOUTH BREATHER

You speak, you speak
You speak when you should listen
Close your eyes when you need vision
Such a fucking hypocrite
You speak, you speak
You say you've had it so wrong
Here's a needle and a thread
Go stitch your fucking wounds up

Sometimes I wish that you'd just
Shut the fuck up, give it up
Give up the god damn bluff
Enough is enough, I'm fed up
Your ways are so corrupt
So shut the fuck up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Quit acting like you're so high above us

Shut up, just shut up
Shut up, shut up

You speak, you speak
You speak when you should listen
Close your eyes when you need vision
Such a fucking hypocrite
You speak, you speak
You say you've had it so wrong
Here's a needle and a thread
Go stitch your fucking wounds up

Yeah we all see straight through you
Always got something to prove
Yeah we all see straight through you
Always stretching the truth

This world doesn't revolve around you
Just shut up and save it for another day
Shut up, nobody's listening anyway

You speak, you speak
You speak when you should listen
Close your eyes when you need vision
Such a fucking hypocrite
You speak, you speak
You say you've had it so wrong
Here's a needle and a thread
Go stitch your fucking wounds up

You speak, you speak
You speak when you should listen
Close your eyes when you need vision
Such a fucking hypocrite
You speak, you speak
You say

Shut up
Shut up


7. LOST CAUSE

I took a lot to get to twenty seven
My knees are weak but I'm still standing
I wasn't meant for making it
But I'm not the type to call it quits
Colly but trying to be clean
Breaking but still in one piece
Hanging on, hanging on
But I feel my grip slipping

We win some but lose most
And close calls keep us close
This life is wearing thin
It's eating at my skin
We can't keep reflecting
Just keep on pressing
On and on and on
'Til we finally belong

I can't seem to get past all my problems
I try my best but never solve them
I was never one for making it
And I think it's finally sinking in
Colly and not coming clean
Breaking and losing each piece
Falling down, falling down
No one's reaching out to catch me

What's it gonna take for me to find my way
I can't keep struggling to always finish in last place
Am I just wasting all my time
Chasing the wrong life
I just wanna be, I just need to be
Free from the judgements
And all those against me
Free from opinions they've built
On who I should be
Can you even hear me
I'm fucking screaming
I just wanna be heard
Won't someone save me
Bring me to safety

We win some but lose most
And close calls keep us close
This life is wearing thin
It's eating at my skin
We can't keep reflecting
Just keep on pressing
On and on and on
'Til we finally belong

And I've given everything, given everything
But I gain nothing, gain nothing
Yeah I'm not giving in, not giving in
My knees are weak but I'm still standing

Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing to hold on
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing to hold on
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing

Lately my head is a mess where anxiety nests
I feel invested in stress like it's all I have left
Every failure's a debt and they're up to my neck
I'm fucking drowning in doubt and there's no swimming out

Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing to hold on
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing


8. LAST TIME

Hold tight
And brace again for a long night
You'll be forgiven but this isn't the first time
But it's the last time

Oh my God, I've had enough
There's a devil in your blood
And I'm too tired to be your angel

With every sigh, with every bluff
I played the fool, you used me up
You're too far down for me to save now
My wings can't hold you up

Just like the last time
You fucked up and drink up
The last time
It's too much so I'm giving up
Cause I can't keep preaching to your demons

Hold tight
And brace again for a long night
You'll be forgiven but you're living a bold lie
You gotta get a grip
And it's the last time that I'm gonna give a shit
So hold tight
And brace again for a long night
You'll be forgiven but this isn't the first time
You put us out like this
And it's last time that I'm gonna deal with it

So give me peace or I'll become
The dying proof of what you've done
Cause there's no room here for your secrets
Let's pack it up

Just like the last time
You fuck up and drink up
The last time
It's too much so I'm giving up
Cause my life is worth more than your weakness

Hold tight
And brace again for a long night
You'll be forgiven but you're living a bold lie
You gotta get a grip
And it's the last time that I'm gonna give a shit
So hold tight
And brace again for a long night
You'll be forgiven but this isn't the first time
You put us out like this
And it's the last time that I'm gonna deal with it

Hold tight cause this is the last time
Drink up cause this is my last try
Play it out, I'm sick of these goodbyes
Oh why

Hold tight cause this is the last time
Drink up cause this is my last try
Play it out, I'm sick of these goodbyes
Oh why

Hold tight
And brace again for a long night
You'll be forgiven but you're living a bold lie
You gotta get a grip
And it's the last time that I'm gonna give a shit
So hold tight
And brace again for a long night
You'll be forgiven but this isn't the first time
You put us out like this
And it's the last time that I'm gonna deal with it

The last time that I'm gonna deal with it
This is the last time that I'm gonna deal with it


9. CHEMICAL REACTION

Summer love, just a fling
Yeah at least that's what I thought it was
Then I fell into you and now I'm stuck
Making leaps and changing me
I'm jumping higher than you'd ever think
I'm not afraid to fall with you distracting me

Beautifully blinding and totally overwhelming

Focus always fades
Oh when you speak to me
This world is screaming but I only hear
Your voice whispering crystal clear

Cut, cut into me
And show me that my heart still beats
You turned me inside out
Shook the bad parts out
Shined a light on the shadows
But my God it's so

Beautifully blinding and totally overwhelming

Focus always fades
Oh when you speak to me
This world is screaming but I only hear
Your voice whispering crystal clear
Focus always fades
When you step into frame
This world is glowing but I only see
You there shining back at me

Revives
Through your eyes
I'm cleaning up

You saved a hopeless fool from himself
Pulled me out of my own hell
I'm tripping over you, tripping over you
How did you get through
That's something no one else can ever do
Now I'm swimming in this skin that you're living in
It's unfortunate to drown in it
I'm tripping over you, tripping over you
How did you get through
That's something no one else can ever do

Focus always fades
When you step into frame
This world is glowing but I only see you

Focus always fades
When you speak to me
This world is screaming but I only hear
Your voice whispering crystal clear
Focus always fades
When you step into frame
This world is glowing but I only see
You there shining back at me

Revives
Through your eyes
I'm cleaning up


10. 3/17/16

I need some assistance
But you're a graveyard
Away so you can't help me fix this

Dealing with loss again
Your means to an end
Leave me on my own to begin again
I need some assistance
God help me fix this
It takes one shot to change your whole life
It took one shot to fuck up mine
Happy birthday kid, unwrap your gift
But your dismissal wasn't on my list

Remembering your past
You left this life too fast
I never said goodbye
Now I'm stuck with your ghost, ghost
All that's left, all I have
All that's left is your ghost
Can you hear me yet?

What happened when you left?
Did you get your wings
Or just sink into nothing?
I've been searching but I can't find a sign
And I keep screaming but I get no reply

Separate me from pain
I can't live like this
Take it away
I can't believe you're asleep forever
And I can't wake you up

Wish I could tell you how much I miss you
But I think God's receptionist lost my messages
Wish I could hear you, wish I could feel you
But I think all my prayers just go unanswered
Can you hear me yet, can you hear me yet?
Hello?
Can you hear me?

Remembering your past
You left this life too fast
I never said goodbye
Now I'm stuck with your ghost, ghost
All that's left, all I have
All that's left is your ghost
Remembering your past
You left this life too fast
I never said goodbye
Now I'm stuck with your ghost, ghost
All that's left, all I have
All that's left is your ghost

Can you hear me yet, can you hear me yet?


11. THE END

I can't escape you
I can't erase you
I know that I'd be better off if I just go
I hate to love you
And I love to hate you
I know it's sick but fuck it, that's the way it goes

Cause you know the hole inside
And you fill it up just right
With poison daggers fill me up, keep me down
And I've wasted so much time
Living in an endless fight
When you say you love me all I hear are my doubts

We're falling apart
My heart's at the edge
And I feel like jumping and not looking back
Your roses have thorns
For too long I've bled
And I'm sick of watching love turning black
Let's be honest Autumn brought us to the end

And it's not worth it
No it's not healthy
Sinking your teeth in just to show me that you care
I hate to say it
But I think you've earned it
One single look at you is more than I can bear

Cause you know the hole inside
And you fill it up just right
With poison daggers fill me up, keep me down
And I've wasted so much time
Cause you gave me nothing

We're falling apart
My heart's at the edge
And I feel like jumping and not looking back
Your roses have thorns
For too long I've bled
And I'm sick of watching love turning black
Let's be honest Autumn brought us to the end

Born to co-depend
You've made a mess, left a stain on me, oh no
You wanna play pretend
Whoa oh it's time to grow up, be free to be who I am

We're falling apart
My heart's at the edge
And I feel like jumping and not looking back
Your roses have thorns
For too long I've bled
And I'm sick of watching love turning black
I'll be honest falling feels like a friend
If it gets you out of my head
Let's be honest Autumn brought us to the end

This is over now I'm
Never turning back
You'll never have me back
You did hear me
This is over now I'm
Never turning back
You'll never have me back
You'll never have me back


12. LET ME IN

Give up and get out to dismiss this love
Collide and ignite, we fall back in it
Let's do it over again
We're running in circles getting drunk of the spin
Don't give me the surface, I'll be under your skin
Come on let me in

I can't take it anymore
Doubting all that you can't ignore
That you hear me
I'm knocking at your heart's door

Let me in, let me in
I wanna breathe your fire again
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But it's worth the consequence
Don't be afraid to make a mistake
We're already falling
Let's make it worth the trip
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But I'm not afraid of it

Give up and get out to dismiss this love
Collide and ignite, we let it consume us
Let's do it over again
Love doesn't ask, it just invites itself in
So don't give me the surface, I'll run under your skin
You're gonna let me in

I can't take it anymore
Doubting all that you can't ignore
That you hear me
I'm knocking at your heart's door

Let me in, let me in
I wanna breathe your fire again
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But it's worth the consequence
Don't be afraid to make a mistake
We're already falling
Let's make it worth the trip
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But I'm not afraid of it

How can you be so blind with eyes open
Because you never stopped to think about the things I say
Worse than the things that I do for you
I'll always try, I'll always try for you
I'll always try, I'll always try and sing this song

Let's do it over again

Let me in, let me in
I wanna breathe your fire again
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But it's worth the consequence
Don't be afraid to make a mistake
We're already falling
Let's make it worth the trip
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But I'm not afraid of it

Let me in, let me in
I wanna breathe your fire again
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But it's worth the consequence
Don't be afraid to make a mistake
We're already falling
Let's make it worth the trip
Let me in, I know this song's a risk
But I'm not afraid of it

BONUSTRACK

13. WASTE AWAY

Hallelujah I can set you free

I see the hole inside you
It's permanent
You dug it up
Now you can bury it
Throw all the pills you want
Inside but you can't fill it up
So just give it up

Hallelujah
Hallelujah I can set you free
From this reoccurring misery
That haunts you
Every night you sleep

But you just
Waste away
While you're slipping through the cracks, slipping through the cracks
Swallowing everything
Just to get a little more
Get a little more fucked up
(x2)

So when you're looking back
And you realize that I'm not there anymore you can find me at the top
Where I've belonged my entire life
You're always dragging me down
You're always dragging me down, down, down
You try and pull me under when you start to drown, drown, drown

So just set me free
You are the weight beneath tied to my feet
I'm not giving up
You're just giving in
Look at the mess you've made
Look at the life you live
I'm done pretending

Stop your ways and make a change
Before you fade away and face your fate the hard way

Waste away
While you're slipping through the cracks, slipping through the cracks
Swallowing everything
Just to get a little more
Get a little more fucked up
(x2)
