1. SOMEDAY

It's the way, it's the way that you've always had your thumb on me.
Pushing down to make me feel so empty.
Every sound, every taste. Is soured by the energy you spoil,
While you're drowning in a dream that capsized.

But that doesn't phase you at all.
The light at the end of the hall,
Is starting to dim while you reach for your life vest and learn how to swim.

Oh someday, I will be something.
You will be somewhere, that you're just out of reach
Oh someday, I will be somewhere.
You will need something. But you never believed in me.

Sell the lie, sell the life. I believed you.
Got the hook, you've got the line. Forget the ones you leave behind.
I wait, for answers. No more debating on whether I'm worth the time of day.
A cynic never listens anyway.

But that doesn't phase you at all.
The light at the end of the hall.
When push comes to shove, think you're so far above, make me doubt what I love.

Oh someday, I will be something.
You will be somewhere, that you're just out of reach
Oh someday, I will be somewhere.
You will need something. But you never believed in me.

Oh you never believed, wait and see. Wait and see.

How could you say you cared?
When all you did was disappear.
We learned our faults.
And picked ourselves back up,
Won't let you kill our souls.
Nowhere left to go, and we refuse to fold.
Oh you wait and see.

Oh someday, I will be something.
You will be somewhere, that you're just out of reach

Oh someday, I will be something.
You will be somewhere, that you're just out of reach
Oh someday, I will be somewhere.
You will need something. But you never believed in me.

Believed in me!


2. PRETTY LITTLE THING

Just don't get me started on the simple things.
Right before you fly you fix the broken wings of.
Everything that carries you forward now.
Patching up the holes remaining in your word now.
I start to question what is real or not.
Pick apart my every thought.
Dig in to a dark place.
Bury the thought of your face.

It's all right, it's all right.
Tell me you need me
Telling you that it's all right, it's all right,
But you're no good for me.

Pretty little thing, attention only when in need,
Cause you know that I'll cave in.
Pretty little thing, you know the way to make me weak.
But I'll stand on my own feet.
Shame on you for hitting where it most hurts.
Shame on me for listening.
Pretty little thing, I think you better turn away.
My attention is ending.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, is certainly beside me.
Cause I've been searching for the answers
On this old abandoned road you've built, desperate to see.

Just don't get me started on the simple things.
Right before you fly you fix the broken wings of,
Every single promise that you flew my way.
Picking up that notion that you may come back.

It's all right, it's all right.
Tell me you need me
Telling you that it's all right, it's all right,
But you're no good for me.

Pretty little thing, attention only when in need,
Cause you know that I'll cave in.
Pretty little thing, you know the way to make me weak.
But I'll stand on my own feet.
Shame on you for hitting where it most hurts.
Shame on me for listening.
Pretty little thing, I think you better turn away.
My attention is ending.

What if I was worth more to you, than every broken breath we take.
I hear your call, you're crying out, I scream your name.

Pretty little thing, attention only when in need.

Pretty little thing, attention only when in need,
Cause you know that I'll cave in.
Pretty little thing, you know the way to make me weak.
But I'll stand on my own feet.
Shame on you for hitting where it most hurts.
Shame on me for listening.
Pretty little thing, I think you better turn away.
My attention is ending.


3. PERFECT WORLD

In a perfect world, you're crawling back to me
But that's absurd, cause it'll never happen

You broke away from it all, need a little space to breathe
But you were jumping the gun, took another shot at me
I've been so inclined to tell you, all the places
I've been going without the weight,
of a self destructive waste you were to me
You're lust fades away with each lie
Well my minds made up, you can't have it all

In a perfect world, you're crawling back to me
But that's absurd, cause it will never happen
Wait my turn, I know you're gonna get what you deserve
It's too late to make amends from what I've learned,
by every bridge you've burned

I have to give it to you, you play the part so very well
You live to lure the ones too pure,
the difference they can't tell
But no mistake about it, you're a trouble
I can't seem to put to bed
While I've got you tangled in my head
You're lust fades away with each lie
Well my minds made up, you can't have it all

Stay away from me Stay away from me
Well how many times will you lead me to think?
That this could be something, I'm not listening

In a perfect world, you're crawling back to me
But that's absurd, cause it will never happen
Wait my turn, I know you're gonna get what you deserve
It's too late to make amends
In a perfect world (x4)
But it will never happen


4. THE DEEP END

Everything's the same
My own reflection's lost in staring at the frame
Of who I used to be
Rebuilt to place the blame
On someone else's shoulders
How does it feel?
Oh, God it used to smother me

Head full of mistakes
A cloud of my regrets
A human thought grenade
Don't make me pull the pin
And it blows my mind
Feelings are left behind

Heavy hearts are weighed down from the inside

Do I even need to question
Where you hide the life you give me
The breath you take when leaving
Are you even trying to find me now
Can you tell me where I'm heading
Drowning in the deep end

The cracks I count on these lonely walks home
Have caught my thoughts and seen the bottom of my soul
And the place that I lay my head to sleep
Is sure to catch the rest of me
While I dream of what it feels like to be whole

You know it's hard to wake up whole in an empty bed
Taking its toll sinking me slow instead
Hard to wake up whole in an empty bed
Taking its toll sinking me slow instead

Drowning in the deep end


5. THE CHASE (FT. KELLIN QUINN)

A recurring dream that stings into my memory
A thought of what could be, disintegrates and gets the best of me
And I know we both know how, these types of things always go down
But if I could find you now, we could remember what it's like to feel

And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
Maybe find the time between the lines between the lines

If you make me a part of your plan - pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Out of your hands (x2)

Well I won't let you

The mind breaks down, the delicate design
Of where we've been, and what we've left behind

And if we slow this down, and take things slower this time
Maybe find the time between the lines between the lines

If you make me a part of your plan - pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Out of your hands (x2)

Well I won't let you

Give me a chance to make a move, what's left to lose?
So much more that I want to prove - If I could get to you

A recurring dream, that stings into my memory

If you make me a part of your plan - pick me up just one time
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall
Out of your hands (x2)
Well I won't let you


6. NERVE ENDINGS

I felt you wear me thin
Remind me of a heart that once caved in
And a pulse that felt so distant
I begged you for silence than
Digging deeper at the thorns under my skin
From a head that wouldn't listen

I don't feel anything
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
Never show them what weakness is
I don't feel anything
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
I feel my bones as they're tightening

I thought you'd set me free
You faded when I pleaded leave me be
Left my vision toe to toe with broken soul remission
I find I've been deceived
A giant lying silent inside me
I need to face the truth
It's hard to hide what's inside of you

I don't feel anything
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
Never show them what weakness is
I don't feel anything
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
I feel my bones as they're tightening

I'm just a shell
Of the empty shattered nerves
A skeleton that's lost it's skin
And I want back in

I don't feel anything
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
Never show them what weakness is
I don't feel anything
My mind tells me I can't get out of this
I won't fall for it
Feel my bones as they're tightening


7. RESTLESS

Oh, I'm stressing, rattling my brain for a feeling that's missing
Oh, I question everything it's taking the weight of my chest
But now I'm done, giving into the things they want
I've dealt with doubt enough, shutting out all the noise and all their distractions, now

All I know, I'm outta my head,
Outta my mind do whatever makes us
Lose control just for a night
Trapped under the city lights
(x2)

Look inside for what you think, either way, we're breaking free
Who needs sleep when we have the world at our feet
I'm thinking lately it's been hard to see
Under pressure, I'm on the edge again, let it take control
Shutting out all the noise and all their distractions

All I know, I'm outta my head,
Outta my mind do whatever makes us
Lose control just for a night
Trapped under the city lights
(x2)

Dangerously out of reach
Feel the earth beneath our feet
Chasing things we cannot see
Nothing's ever what it seems

Searching for another way
Truth is hard to find these days
Chasing things we cannot see
Nothing's ever what it seems
(x2)

All I know, I'm outta my head,
Outta my mind do whatever makes us
Lose control just for a night
Trapped under the city lights
(x2)


8. HELL TO PAY (FT. TELLE SMITH)

Rewind back to then, see I was just a kid.
And I didn't know, oh Mother, where did he go?
And that solemn look she gave, oh God that image stayed.
The pain alive despite disguise, through her trembling lips and bloodshot eyes.

Paralyzed for a moment, bet your life you wouldn't stay.
Better hope we don't cross paths, cause there'll be hell to pay.
I am better without you. You couldn't love what you would undo.
I'm a man today, no thanks to you. All the feeling of regret, I hope you know what you left.
I'll never miss you.

See me, yeah I'm upset. And my brothers wont forget.
Introduced for the first time at 8 years old to a world so cold.
A cowards claim to fame, all for his selfish gain.
But his failed attempts to break our home, made us stronger than we'll ever know.

Paralyzed for a moment, bet your life you wouldn't stay.
Better hope we don't cross paths, cause there'll be hell to pay.

I know I never say it enough, what you did for both of us. You kept me strong.
Its hard enough to see the road that leads us home.
Its hard enough to walk when we cant bear the load, that's on our shoulders.
And when the day tries to break away, its hold on our soul, don't let go.

First time, through a broken life, seconds tick, running out of time.
Where were you when I needed you? You said you'd be there for me through and through.
You said you'd be there for me.

Paralyzed for a moment, bet your life you wouldn't stay.
Better hope we don't cross paths, cause there'll be hell to pay.

There'll be hell to pay. I'm a man today, no thanks to you. There'll be hell to pay.


9. THE AIR IN ME

Are we reaching out for something,
More than who we were and what we've been?
And our insides cringe just like the rusty
Hinges of the chest I buried having faith in someone else.

I reach, for something not there.
I'd die to even know that you care.
But my shortness of breath says I'm halfway there.
Tell me what happens next.

Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away.
It's not the same anymore, my hearts astray and I adore you.
Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away.
No I can't change anymore, you know I tried- I assure you.

Are we reaching out for something,
More than what we've felt sink into our skin.
And outside the sight of our brittle mind,
Is a greater hope, that on our own we won't wear thin.

Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away.
It's not the same anymore, my hearts astray and I adore you.
Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away.
No I can't change anymore, you know I tried- I assure you.

Well I've heard what's real takes time to heal, the words that cut so deep.
Every burden felt has slowly dealt me shaking hands it's hard to keep,
That grip that's got a hold of me, from dragging me down underneath.
Why won't you let me breathe.

Take the air out of me, give it to someone more deserving.
Castaways are souls to stay, lives unnerving.


10. SINKING SO LONG

If it's the will that has to be there,
To find my way out of this hell that dwells inside of my head.
Then I'll find the hope I misplaced and fear faced without a doubt.
In a sea of shipwrecked thoughts my lungs are filled with lead now.

I've been sinking so long.

What am I worth, what am I worth?
Would it be easier to grow?
It's better than keeping me alone, I know.
(x2)

I've never been the type to give in,
Maybe it's that feeling in my bones,
That keeps me far from home.
I'm miles away from all that I know,
Maybe it's too hard for me to quit
Down this path that's barely lit.

What am I worth, what am I worth?
Would it be easier to grow?
It's better than keeping me alone, I know.
(x2)

You know what's shaken me, is all the broken things.
I'm picking up what never went missing.
Replace the piece of mind, fell out so far behind.
So many words with a jaw still clenching.
But now I'm through with you, nothing to do with you.
I'm giving up on what was never
There for me this time.
Why don't you say it.

We will never make it on our own this time,
You're wrong, you're wrong.
You're wrong, you're wrong.

What am I worth, what am I worth?
Would it be easier to grow?
It's better than keeping me alone, I know.
(x3)

Every touch, every taste, every smell that
May escape from my lungs as I breathe in
The things I see
May what I hear not shake me.


11. UNTIL I COLLAPSE

It's been a few years, since I packed my bags, left all I knew
Face fear, to define a life that's built on breaking through.
How much longer will it take, no I can't wait forever.
A picture painted in my mind, it seems my days are numbered.

Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make.
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith.
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take.
I won't collapse for anything.

You call, there's a quiver in your voice that I read.
"Give up, don't you think it's time you came back home to me.
You've been chasing a dream, but dreams don't last forever.
Though it means more than anything, at least we'll have each other."

Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make.
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith.
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take.
I won't collapse for anything.

Heart beat slow, guide me where to go.
It's taken long enough to get here, would I be better off
Cold but not alone. Here without a home.
Tell me why I can't quit shaking, while I'm bleeding at the stake
And I don't know anymore, what I'm really fighting for.
This is bigger than the both of us, you're the only one I trust anymore.

Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make.
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith.
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take.
I won't collapse for anything.

And what kills me, is how could you forget me?
I stayed right where you left me.
But open wounds cant heal when you're still tearing them apart.
And what fills me, is hope to find what's missing.
And I refuse to quit til I've rebuilt another heart.
