Fire Away

It’s eating at my brain
It’s the same refrain
I think, I’m starting to lose my mind
It’s a terrible sight
I think that I just might
Fight it, when I can’t hold my own
When I can’t hold my own
When I can’t hold my own
This play is over
You’re moving closer
Who’s to say that we’re doing fine
We hate what’s normal
The big and formal
The old is pushed aside as we fire away
Alone at the brink
You stop to think
Maybe, there’s another way to go
Your eyes well up
And the moment stops
And you realize that feelings are starting to flow
I can hear your voice
It’s a terrible choice
I’m stuck, staring it down again
Staring it down again
Staring it down again
This play is over
You’re moving closer
Who’s to say that we’re doing fine
We hate what’s normal
The big and formal
The old is pushed aside as we fire away
It’s all gone gray
But who’s to say
I’ve lost it, and now I can’t find my own
There’s an echoing voice
I have no choice
I missed it, and now I have to find my way
A fire sale
It’s the same old tale
It’s over, and now I’m back at it again
And now I’m back at it again
And now I’m back at it again
This play is over
You’re moving closer
Who’s to say that we’re doing fine
We hate what’s normal
The big and formal
The old is pushed aside as we fire away

Hometown
05:40

The lights are turned off
The music’s so low
But your hair feels so soft
As we’re losing all control
The heart closes in
The movies begin
This day should never end
But I guess I’ll just pretend
Give me your hand
We’re making a stand
It’s hard to believe that you’re also into me
Today’s a new start
Remember your part
This is the best time to forget the things that you don’t understand
(Sail Away)
And I’m sailing away, your face stuck in my brain and I don’t even know your name
(Not Today)
Not today as I try to forget the things I could never seem to say
(Far Away)
Far away it’s always the same but we can’t find anyone to blame
(All Alone)
All alone you’re so scared on your own and we’re all still stuck in our hometown
Driving my car
Not going very far
This night feels like a dream as I replay everything
I can’t seem to sleep
My life on repeat
Alone in the dark and on one specific scene
Did I go too far
Was it doomed from the start
Question every move and wanting to restart
Feeling so lame
It’ll never be the same
A night to remember until the day that we die
(Sail Away)
And I’m sailing away, your face stuck in my brain and I don’t even know your name
(Not Today)
Not today as I try to forget the things I could never seem to say
(Far Away)
Far away it’s always the same but we can’t find anyone to blame
(All Alone)
All alone you’re so scared on your own a

Empty

There’s bottles all around
But they’re all empty now
And I miss you but you don’t miss me too
Cuz I see you standing next to him
Looking like you’re more than friends
I’m running out of hope tonight
That you’ll even know I’m here
That you’ll even know I’m here
That you’ll even know I’m here
I keep wasting my time
Saying that I’m fine
This glass is going empty and I’m losing what’s inside
So I get another round
And push those feelings down
This moment lasts a lifetime as I’m stuck losing my mind
Stuck losing my mind
Stuck losing my mind
Now it’s like a walls between us
And I’m alone here on my side
Drinking to forget the ways that you’ve gone and changed our lives
Only empty chairs around me
And I’m waiting for a sign
Wishing for the betters day but the better days have long by
The better days have long gone by
The better days have long gone by
I keep wasting my time
Saying that I’m fine
This glass is going empty and I’m losing what’s inside
So I get another round
And push those feelings down
This moment lasts a lifetime as I’m stuck losing my mind
Stuck losing my mind
Stuck losing my mind

Fading
03:55
|

I can remember a year ago
Time moved fast but we moved slow
A day doesn’t go by where I don’t think of you and I am
I’m fading out of view
Pictures of you stuck in my head
The picture frame still by my bed
When I close my eyes, I’m still there with you but they are
They’re fading out of view
Moving fast while she moved slow
And finding myself with nowhere to go
I can’t remember a time where I didn’t think of you but I’m here
And it’s fading out of view
I’m sitting here and I don’t know what to say because my feet are still and my mind’s run away. Please help me to feel, please help me to steal what once was mine but it was taken away.
I think I’m slowly losing my mind here
I think I’m slowly losing my time here
Did not know where we were going but surely we’re both in
Just say that you want it
Say that you need it
Ask and you know that I’ll be here to stay
Cuz I know what you want and I know what you need
Why was that taken away
I am here
Sitting alone
Stuck with my thoughts in this empty home
Fear creeps
Into my head
Wishing for what’s already dead
I can’t
Figure it out
I’m losing my mind without a doubt
Reaching for
Some clarity
It just wasn’t meant to be

Running
03:38
|
|||
|
Feet stuck to the floor
Not ready for the door
The fear’s creeping inside
And there’s nowhere to hide
The nightmare begins
And the world forgets to spin
Staring up at the sky
Can’t help but wonder why
The cards have played this way
And left us all behind
The memories I can’t bare
Are always standing there
Staying up at night
Thinking about the last fight
I can’t remember the reason but I think you were right
The moment is scary
But you have to be daring if you want to survive
The fire is burning
The fear keeps us running but it’s not enough to keep it alive
Remembering the night
Thinking about the first sight
A frozen blank stare
Somehow you don’t care
The years have passed
And I keep coming in last
The rank and file
Those without any style
Moving so slow
But forgetting where to go
Missing the mark
And finding yourself at the start
The days begin to crawl
Giving excuses to stall
But nothing can take away that I think I want to stay
The moment is scary
But you have to be daring if you want to survive
The fire is burning
The fear keeps us running but it’s not enough to keep it alive

Rush Hour
04:45

This morning began
With a shake of his hand
But he’s a child inside
He wasn’t ready to fight
The world’s an ugly place
And his head’s up space
He’s doing what he was taught
Without a single thought
He remembers a summer afternoon
Silly jokes a game or two
Nothing to make him worry
Such a simple story
Memories that he can’t reach
Skills no one can teach
He may miss the time
But tells himself that he’s fine
On his way home
The thoughts won’t leave him alone
Music can mask the pain
But it’ll never be the same
One week turns to more
He’s lost track of the score
A night to forget
He has no time to be upset
This story’s nothing new
Luxuries kept to only few
No one knows why or how
He never left this town
Finding a new start
Be a better counterpart
This is not an ending
But his own rewriting
It’s getting hard to start
His mind is falling apart
The moment never came
And he wants to change his fate
These days they never change
Stuck in a fucking cage
Nothing new is being sold
But he’s here to say it’s old
He misses the time
Everything was fine
The moment stuck in gold
But it’s anything but bold
His life is nothing new
And he’s stuck without a clue
Without the stars
That come from inside your heart

Behind
03:25
|
|||
|
The gates are closing
The walls caved in
The moment’s crushing
Our lives are on end
Nothing’s moving
The show can begin
Controlling the world
With a touch of a pen
Follow the movement
Follow the sin
It’s hard to lose
When you have the best friends
Describing a world that is full of hate
But most of us
Want to avoid that fate
The truth is hard
But the lies hurt more
I’m running from
Your destructive force
It’s one for all
But not all for one
I was tired of
Your controlling arm
The eventual move
Was long overdue
So surprising
What confidence can do
Fighting for
Some dignity
Paying upfront
But the rest was free
Lost in my heart
It’s falling apart
Moving along
But not forgetting the start
A comforting voice
An easy choice
Living in my world
Ignoring the noise
Confused and angry
You’re not alone
Standing together
We’ll face the unknown
This is the first leg
It’s not over yet
Making the change
To a better mindset
I’m lost inside
You’ve lost your mind
I can’t believe
That was a moment in time
Destroying face
I’m losing faith
Because you knew
I was already behind

Best Friend
03:24
|
|||
|
The screen is going dark
As the relationship restarts
Nobody’s winning
Arguments fall apart
Your life’s not ending
But she thinks it should be
One day to the next
There is nothing left to see
Months of hatred
Have led to this
Their world is crumbling
And their hearts are missed
It’s hard to hear
The voices are scattered
and we’re scared to jump in
Fighting our fear
Crawling together
And we’re ready to begin
Throwing open the door
Can’t take it anymore
Used to running
But it’s not what he came for
The recent memories
Have been so dark
And he’s losing his cool
For what’s missing the mark
His eyes are open
He can stay no longer
The horizon’s calling
And he’s ready to go
It’s hard to hear
The voices are scattered
and we’re scared to jump in
Fighting our fear
Crawling together
And we’re ready to begin
It’s hard to hear
The voices are scattered
and we’re scared to jump in
Fighting our fear
Crawling together
And we’re ready to begin
The fire is near
Making a reason
to start it again
Steering clear
The curtin is closing
And you’re losing your best friend.

What Went Wrong
03:48
|

|
I can’t recall what you look like
But you’re always on my mind
The earth keeps getting smaller
But you’re still so hard to find
It’s been a long time since you called me
And I can’t remember why
You said that this was over
But I’m missing you tonight
I miss the times
But we’re fighting
For what’s already over
Our lives are a series of mistakes we’ve made
Is this what it’s like to get older?
Take a look at where we are now
This is not what we were hoping for
Our lives went in opposite directions
But we’ve heard this all before
A story with no ending
It’s like we knew it all along
But I don’t know why I’m writing
It all reminds me of what went wrong
I miss the times
But we’re fighting
For what’s already over
Our lives are a series of mistakes we’ve made
Is this what it’s like to get older?

Turn Around
02:51

|
As I walk away
And I turn around
I see your face staring from the crowd
The look in your eyes
Telling me to come back to you
Come back to you
But I’m sorry
So sorry to say goodbye
We could give it one more try
Maybe in another life
We could be alive
Alive forever
I hear your voice
In the back of my head
You’re telling me things that I should’ve said
I needed more time and I needed more space
So now I’m gone
And I’m not sorry
Not sorry for what I’ve done
I knew it was time for me to move on
The life you want for both us
Was a fantasy
It didn’t work for me
It was a fantasy
It didn’t work for me
It was a fantasy, it was a fantasy
And I wish I could surrender
I wish I could remember who
I was before it all
Before I took the fall
That left me lying on the floor here
And now I’m dying on this floor here
And i’m staring out over the edge
And I’m yelling to clear my head
Can you hear me
Can you hear me crying it out
Is the world all deaf to my shouts oh fuck it all
As I walk away
And I turn around
I see your face staring from the crowd
It all goes dark as I stare back ahead
And now it’s gone

Everybody needs one more life
Everybody needs one more try
Everybody needs a new chance to begin to impact the world before they die
So let’s keep working at it
We’ll be successful at it
And one day you’ll be rewarded with your name up in lights
She said it’s just the beginning
But I can’t believe I didn’t find the way
Who’d have thought I’d be stuck here
The news hit me like a freight train
This city’s beneath me
I’ve waited so long for you to save the day
This show’s almost over
But it’s the just start of something so much bigger
So remind me, remind me…
Yeah, remind me...
Please remind me, remind me, remind me, remind me that
Everybody needs one more life
Everybody needs one more try
Everybody needs a new chance to begin to impact the world before they die
So let’s keep working at it
We’ll be successful at it
And one day you’ll be rewarded with your name up in lights
The day’s getting closer
I don’t know what’ll happen but I’m ready to start
So ready for a new chance
One moment could make such a difference
Just around the corner
These things come round once in a lifetime
This story’s not over
Our lives are about to get so much better
So remind me, remind me…
Yeah, remind me...
Please remind me, remind me, remind me, remind me that
Everybody needs one more life
Everybody needs one more try
Everybody needs a new chance to begin to impact the world before they die
So let’s keep working at it
We’ll be successful at it
And one day you’ll be rewarded with your name up in lights

Leave Well Enough Alone
04:08
|

|
This feels like the same old story
The world moves on but I’m still worried
I missed the mark, I might be falling apart
The credits are rolling, but I’m not ready
I had it all, I wasn’t ready for the fall
I waited all night, but no one ever called
It’s been so long since I found the one
But the song’s turned up so loud
And the music just keeps on playing
The moment’s never ending
A story that we keep making
Can be so hard to figure out
But I’m losing without a doubt
The image is so damn tempting
The memories they are crippling
I need to just leave well enough alone
But I keep picking up that phone
Never felt like I was losing
Life can be scary but it’ll keep on moving
The movie’s over, we’re just sitting in the dark
No one knows what’ll happen next
But I’m ready for the part
The moment’s never ending
A story that we keep making
Can be so hard to figure out
But I’m losing without a doubt
The image is so damn tempting
The memories they are crippling
I need to just leave well enough alone
But I keep picking up that phone

Overgrown

Oh please give me the power
To grow all of these flowers
Planted in my bones
Together we will show
The roots are all around me
They’re spreading in me now
I can feel them in my lungs
In my heart and on my tongue
What once was a thing of beauty
It corrupts and consumes me
Tearing me apart with my insides out
My bones grinded down and I’m ready to shout
There’s poison in my veins
My eyes are wells of pain
What you planted didn’t grow
Now the weeds are overgrown
There’s fire by the grave
Now the leaves are up in flames
What happened stuck in stone
And we’re left without a home
What once was a thing of beauty
It corrupts and consumes me
Tearing me apart with my insides out
My bones grinded down and I’m ready to shout
Feeling so discouraged
By what has let me down
Can’t say what I have done
But I’m missing what was fun
The hatred crept inside us
And showed us what it’s made of
We’ll say that we’re all fine
But it gets us every time
What once was a thing of beauty
It corrupts and consumes me
Tearing me apart with my insides out
My bones grinded down and I’m ready to shout
