1. SINKING ME

As I'm burning alive inside my mind
Trying to feel, trying to breathe
I swear I tried

But now I'm broken looking for something, looking for something that isn't here
Everything I could really do without has never been so, been so clear
Broken, looking for something, looking for something that isn't me
Everything I could really do without is sinking, sinking me

Knowing that I'm really coming to terms
With the reality of a broken spine
Cost of the weight of the world, unsure
If I could hold it all up, buy some time
Clean myself of the dust on the floor
Hollow me out, watch me endure
I've been down here far too long
Too many shades of gray. The sight is sore

I used to be so worth saving

But now I'm broken looking for something, looking for something that isn't here
Everything I could really do without has never been so, been so clear
Broken, looking for something, looking for something that isn't me
Everything I could really do without is sinking, sinking me

I'm burning alive inside my mind
Trying to feel, trying to breathe
I swear I tried. I swear I tried

I swear I tried

Show me that I can feel again
I'm sick of this loss being all I claim
Numb to the touch, burning alive
Void of a color, void of a name
Show me that I can feel again
I'm sick of this loss being all I claim
Numb to the touch, burning alive
Void of a color, void of a name

I used to be so worth saving

Broken, looking for something, looking for something that isn't here
Everything I could really do without

But now I'm broken looking for something, looking for something that isn't here
Everything I could really do without has never been so, been so clear
Broken, looking for something, looking for something that isn't me
Everything I could really do without is sinking, sinking me


2. TRADITION

So maybe I was wrong, I couldn't leave it dead
I never felt so alone I think I'm seeing red
We'll never be the same, I see it missing
I hate the way that you are but we're not that different

Face in the mirror I'm okay now, I'm okay now
Least that's what I'll keep telling myself on the way down, on the way down
Maybe I'm to blame, can't help what I'm thinking
Least that's what I'll keep telling myself but I'll keep singing

Cut down like it's all tradition
Heart rate, can you see it missing
Step back, I won't admit that maybe I'm broken, I won't listen
Cut down like it's all tradition
Heart rate can you see it missing
Leave it, I don't want to be that, I don't want to be the one left bleeding
But now I'm stuck tailored to this suit of broken skin

So maybe I was wrong I couldn't leave it dead
I never felt so alone I think I'm seeing red
We'll never be the same, I see it missing
I hate the way that you are but we're not that different

Am I worth fixing, is all I really have to say
Take in my perspective or I can find myself a way
Breaking down the structure of my soul until I can see
Everything so resilient, showing proof that I can breathe
Just know that I'll keep singing, I'll keep breathing
My reflection is all I'm missing

I'll keep singing, I'll keep breathing
My reflection is all I'm missing

So maybe I was wrong I couldn't leave it dead
I never felt so alone I think I'm seeing red
We'll never be the same, I see it missing
I hate the way that you are but we're not that different


3. NEVER HERE

And now I lost the feeling.
Why do I feel like home was never here?
And now I lost the feeling.
Why do I feel like home was never here?

Do you see the paint chipping off the walls?
Marks of anger, marks of love.
Will I remember this at all?

Why does it happen every time I leave,
weighing the cost of the life I lead.
I want to be everywhere I’m not,
paying the price of the world I see.

And now I lost the feeling.
Why do I feel like home was never here?
And now I lost the feeling.
Why do I feel like home was never here?

Do you see the paint chipping off the walls?
Marks of anger, marks of love.
Will I remember this?

Do you see the paint chipping off the walls?
Marks of anger, marks of love
Will I remember this?

And now I lost the feeling.
Why do I feel like home was never here?
And now I lost the feeling.
Why do I feel like home was never here?
(Home was never here.)


4. SLEEPLESS

And I can't tell if I'll make it on my own
Maybe one day I can learn to see this through

And I can't tell if I'll make it on my own
Tell me do you know the feeling
Maybe one day I can learn to see this through
And I just gotta hear you say

I've been caught up shaking alone
I hate these sleepless nights
Spending too much time in the shade
But I'm hoping I'll be alright
I'm sick of the feeling, sick of the haunting
I'm sick of the lonely, empty bed
I'm sick of the moments, you leave and you know it
Now that I'm falling apart instead

And I can't tell if I'll make it on my own
Maybe one day I can learn to see this through

And I can't tell if I'll make it on my own
Tell me do you know the feeling
Maybe one day I can learn to see this through
And I just gotta hear you say

Tell me you need me as much as I need you
Cause really I'm just sleepless without you
So let me hear it
Cause really I'm just sleepless without you

I've got this shadow hanging over me, source of the misery
Do you see me going into the gray
Shadow hanging over me, source of the misery
Just take me away

I can't tell if I'll make it on my own
Maybe one day I can learn to see this through

And I can't tell if I'll make it on my own
Tell me do you know the feeling
Maybe one day I can learn to see this through
And I just gotta hear you say

Tell me you need me as much as I need you
Cause really I'm just sleepless without you
So let me hear it
Cause really I'm just sleepless without you


5. CARRY THE WEIGHT

I'm living in a gray scale, what am I seeing.
Learn to love the pressure, that caving feeling.
Cause I know it all too well, tell me please.
Tell me do you trust in everything you, everything you see.

I'd rather die than see you carry my weight one second.
How to walk the line between the levels of hell and heaven.
Don't hold me up because I'm bound to let you down.
Just get away, make the distance.
(Make the distance.)

Are you following along, do you get me.
Stay away, though don't forget me.
Wondering if they even notice.
Me washing away like the ocean.
Left on the shoreline.
Can't do this alone, but really I don't think I'm worth the time.
Tell me that you promise you'll just get away.
I won't drag you down all at the cost of me.

I'd rather die than see you carry my weight one second.
How to walk the line between the levels of hell and heaven.
Don't hold me up because I'm bound to let you down.
Just get away, make the distance.
(Make the distance.)

I'd rather die than see you carry my weight one second.
How to walk the line between the levels of hell and heaven.
I'd rather die than see you carry my weight one second.
How to walk the line between the levels of hell and heaven.
(Levels of hell and heaven.)

I'd rather die than see you carry my weight one second.
How to walk the line between the levels of hell and heaven.
Don't hold me up because I'm bound to let you down.
Just get away, make the distance.
(Make the distance.)


6. THE LOVE YOU LET TOO CLOSE

This isn't just another sunset,
finality hangs low in the air.
The last page of a story all too short,
you can see there was a battle here.
Substance and a pain eternal,
infidelity so infernal.
A friend, lover, song and a brother,
taken too early by his own hand.

The poison lays on the table,
note with a final goodbye within arms reach.
If only we could see it in your eyes, so unstable.
If only you could've shared the pain with me. If only.

You couldn't bury the pain, I couldn't save you.
You couldn't bury the pain, instead it buried you.
You couldn't bury the pain, I couldn't save you.
You couldn't bury it all.

Now I just go through the motions.
Watching it all just fade away.
Now I just go through the motions.
Taking it all day by day.

Now I just go through the motions.
Wishing that I could've noticed.
Now I just go through the motions.

March 26th, the day you left us.
Broken by the love you let too close, I couldn't see.
The pain in your heart, now it lives in your mothers eyes.
And now you're gone and it's killing me.

You couldn't bury the pain, I couldn't save you.
You couldn't bury the pain, instead it buried you.
You couldn't bury the pain, I couldn't save you.
You couldn't bury it all.

Now I just go through the motions.
Watching it all just fade away.
Now I just go through the motions.
Taking it all day by day.
Now I just go through the motions.


7. FOLLOW ME HOME

Can you see, can you tell that I'm looking for whispers?
Really as far as I can see, I just can't close the distance.
Can you say, can you tell that I'm looking for whispers?
Really as far as I can see, I just can't close the distance.

I can tell that I don't belong here, I can tell that we're not the same.
All of my skin has turned to stone, I barely know my name.
I swear I built a home here and now it's gone.
They say don't follow the voices, I know it's wrong.

I'm calling out your name, I'm calling out your name.
Pick it all up for me, tell me I'm not to blame.
Tell me I wasn't meant to fail, tell me I'll be okay,
Just tell me, tell me, tell me.
Oh god just tell me now,
Tell me as soon as I hit the ground.
Oh god just tell me now,
Tell me that it's all just in my head.
Just tell me, tell me, tell me.
Just tell me.

Can anybody else hear me now,
Is anybody out there, is anyone alive.

Can you see, can you tell that I'm looking for whispers?
Really as far as I can see, I just can't close the distance.
Can you say, can you tell that I'm looking for whispers?
Really as far as I can see, I just can't close the distance.

I can tell that I don't belong here, I can tell that we're not the same.
All of my skin has turned to stone, I barely know my name.
I swear I built a home here and now it's gone.
They say don't follow the voices, I know it's wrong.

I can tell that I don't belong here, I can tell that we're not the same.
All of my skin has turned to stone, I barely know my name.
I swear I built a home here and now it's gone.
They say don't follow the voices, I know it's wrong.

I'm calling out your name, I'm calling out your name.
Pick it all up for me, tell me I'm not to blame.
Tell me I wasn't meant to fail, tell me I'll be okay,
Just tell me, tell me, tell me.
Oh god just tell me now,
Tell me as soon as I hit the ground.
Oh god just tell me now,
Tell me that it's all just in my head.
Just tell me, tell me, tell me.
Just tell me.
Just tell me.


8. THE WOLF AND THE SEA

Do you see me drifting away, gone like the waves and the wind you breathe?
I can feel it surround me, it's got me feeling alone like a wolf in the.

Here I am looking for you,
I know the voice, I don't recognize the tone.
And would you say I adore you?
And now I'm chasing the sun and I'm on my own.
Watching the light pass, say what you couldn't say to me.
I'm sitting idly just waiting, just waiting.

Drifting away, gone like the waves and the wind you breathe.
I can feel it surround me, it's got me feeling alone like a wolf in the sea.
Maybe I'm letting go, the feeling is caving in.
Maybe I'll let it out, and maybe I'll keep it in.
How did I get this way? I'm sinking slowly.
It's got me feeling alone like a wolf in the sea.
It's got me feeling alone like a wolf in the sea.
It's got me feeling like I'll never be getting home.

Tell me you're better off, leaving is simple.
When will you think of me, how long until.
You hide me away in the back of your mind.
If I'm so forgettable, then kill me, I'd rather die.

Drifting away, gone like the waves and the wind you breathe.
I can feel it surround me, it's got me feeling alone like a wolf in the sea.
Maybe I'm letting go, the feeling is caving in.
Maybe I'll let it out, and maybe I'll keep it in.
How did I get this way? I'm sinking slowly.
It's got me feeling alone like a wolf in the sea.

Why do I feel like I'm chipping away, and I'm tied to the anchor?
If this is the end then I'll sing my song.
I'm chipping away, going down with the anchor.
You already know what to say.
Maybe I'm letting go, the feeling is caving in.
Maybe I'll let it out, and maybe I'll keep it in.
How did I get this way, I'm sinking slowly.
It's got me feeling alone like a wolf in the sea.


9. VEIN

The substances are killing us and we're blind.
To the failed state of mind, taking over, weakened.
Suicidal medication in our blood.
I'm a victim and it's killing us. Couldn't even listen.

I don't know how to say it to you,
When I can't even help myself.
I battled my own use, know it's the cold truth.
I don't want us to end up on the shelf.

Needle to your vein,
Killing like a pill to your brain.
Needle to your vein.

Promise you'll walk the path, do you still care?
Promise you'll walk the path, who am I now?

I don't know how to say it to you,
When I can't even help myself.
I battled my own use, know it's the cold truth.
I don't want us to end up on the shelf.

I lost my friend, myself, and my lover.

I lost my friend, myself, and my lover.
I lost my friend, myself, and my brother.
I lost my friend, myself, and my lover.
I lost my friend, myself, and my brother.
I lost my friend, myself, and my lover.
I lost my friend, myself, and my brother to the poison.

I don't know how to say it to you,
When I can't even help myself.
I battled my own use, know it's the cold truth.
I don't want us to end up on the shelf.


10. NO PLACE LIKE YOU

To be honest
I didn't think my heart could weigh so heavy on my chest
Is it really safe that I carry my loss so closely
Now it's starting to hurt you and the way that you know me
I learned so fast
I've never known anyone like you
Really there's no place like you

But now you're leaving
Now you hate me, and I don't blame you
Cause I'm carrying the weight of two souls
On my back and I'm wearing thin
How am I used to this
How did you even love me anyways

And I know that going my way isn't easy
But now I'm wondering how you see me
Cause I've never let anyone this close before
Really there's no place like you

But now you're leaving
Now you hate me, and I don't blame you
Cause I'm carrying the weight of two souls
On my back and I'm wearing thin
How am I used to this
How did you even love me anyways

And now I'm wearing thin
How am I used to this
And now I'm wearing thin
How am I used to this

Now I'm living in isolation
There's a part of me buried with him
That I'd do anything for you to see
I don't know how we ended up like this so far away
But there's just no place
There's just no place like you


11. INTO THE GRAY

I can recall the day
That I felt like I lost everything in the world.
And I can recall the way.
The way she told me his body was lifeless,
And everything went numb.

I still remember the sound of the silence.
All the worlds are gone like the wind.
And now all love is gone with the ocean.
Now I can barely breathe.
Show me the sound of love.

This is where it left me, I didn't know I could feel like this.
This is where it left me, into the black, into the gray.
This is who I am now, picking up the pieces slowly.
This is who I am now, sever the ties you wouldn't even know me.
This is where it left me, I didn't know I could feel like this.
This is where it left me, into the black, into the gray.
