I've been on 7 years and thinking How I fell on my face flat And how I ended up in this mess of a landslide Fighting it all, saying it back Turning my anger to a postive track And I think I'm seeing everything as clearly as I can Swallow your guilt and see Yourself in a way that can't be unseen When you leap, everyone will know And nothing was the same But we've found a better way I've turned around and locked the door No looking back, not any more They'll find me Dancing on your grave What a way to celebrate So long goodbye, it's no surprise We're taking over While we're still young I'm leaning on myself, I'm turning on my own I'm feeling like the person that I never was before Drowning, I don't need Anyone to tell me that this hole I dug is too deep (I don't know how this will all turn around I feel the weight of it all fall down) I don't care how you've been We'll never speak again Good fucking riddance I say So if you're wondering I'm not your fucking friend Good fucking riddance, it's the end. (Contentment and complacency are two very different things, and for once I'm feeling neither in anticipation for what this brings. Maybe my purpose has been revealed. Maybe I'm more than the things I'm afraid to feel. All I know is that sometimes it takes everything left in my soul to continue, but I'm taking that as a challenge now unlike ever before. Because the future is brighter than the bridges burned and the road is illuminated with the lessons learned. These days will be looked back upon as some of the best of my life and nothing and nobody can take that away. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. I am not afraid. This is where our journey truly begins. This is where the old me ceases to exist. This is the bridge between who I am and who I want to be. This is our journey from the mountains to the sea.)

Whoa I told you once before but now I mean it We're better than this So here it goes: I'm writing down a letter just to tell you That it's all good And no one knows Exactly how to make it through the bullshit Much less alone Oh! It's not about the bad times But you can only roll with the punches For so long Whoa I told you once before but now I mean it We're better than this Whoa The story's on your lips but it's a long one I don't wanna hear it, You don't wanna say a word I tried for years To be the man I knew I could be But it took the earth Crumbling and crushing me To clear my mind And put me on a path to understanding Just where I stood And what I learned is It's not about the end or the beginning But that winding road Oh! Don't ignore the good times You can only tread this shallow water for so long You'll fall You'll see And I'll walk away from everything And break down this wall Your name's stamped on this box for you When your heart's on sideways, I'll spill my guts to you

Shoot me in the back with your words, they called it Murder with no judgement Fall back, turn around, race around the track, I told you man, I called it Take a little more, spread it out and read your shit before it blows up Running your mouth won't turn a lie into corporate meeting of layoffs Rinse, repeat, shake off, deceive Turn back the time, and take a leap Push and shove, give up to try Look down the hole, reach out Arrive You won't bring me down again Don't even call me your friend Check yourself, it's worth your time Breaking necks won't break my spine I've been thinking about the times we've spent the years we've had to grow made me see that there's a consequence for all the words untold You jumped the gun when it came out You shouldve talked to me about everything and maybe then you'd see we weren't the ones who'd disagree You should have fucking talked to me Dwell in your place of confidence Stand tall, and shove all your doubt in it When looking for a reason is your primary target, I'll know who to look for and kill what I started

It's cold Like somehow I forgot I can't believe I left this place And the people that I can't replace And I'll stand outside to take it in And I'll think about where I've been since And it's pulling at my arm to stay And I would if there was any way But adventure still does call my name And coming back don't feel the same Oh, it’s been a long six months away And it’s true what they all say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s just a memory When I look at all I left behind It's hard to justify Following these crazy dreams The calming comfort of familiar faces Smiling back at me I can't let myself regret this journey From the mountains to the sea And as the tears roll down my face I come to terms That when I come back home It's natural to hurt I can't shake images of how we were And I hugged my dad without a word Oh, it’s been a long ten months away And it’s true what they all say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s just a memory and I will fight the sun for sleep at 1 o clock in the morning It’s like I never left But I did and it’s for the best I'm sinking to the bottom of the sea The pressure in my lungs is killing me here I sit and wonder who I am But pieces of my long lost friends Oh, it’s been a long, strange year away And it’s true what they all say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s just a memory and I will fight the sun for sleep at 5 o clock in the morning It’s like I never left But I did and it’s for the best Closed some doors and opened more To find ourselves on distant shores We all feel the ice inside our veins Frozen roots will never fade

Pick me up, pick me up Hold you back I got a feeling in my chest just like a heart attack And I know You think you got a grasp on me Rip away my chest, taking out my knees Fooling yourself just to play around Your body language calling a game of cat and mouse Its a sure fire way to get my feelings hurt The pin in the grenade, diving in feet first It's alright, it's alright I never see you there, doesn't work it's not right You got the hands that feeds And it bites, I won't lie It's not a fashion sense A long blade works unless it dull at the end You got your lips turned on Your long blonde hair I see you take a look back And you're catching my stare I wanna let know, you're only wasting time (It only works half the time) Picking it up, with a flick of your wrist You got an open cast call, and it makes me sick I wanna let know, you're only wasting time Slow it down, slow it down Back on track Im riding on the wagon, while my heads intact Look me in the eye and tell me I'm right Walk the other away, don't try to pick this fight When it all falls down who will help in the end Grind my teeth and work it out then While I light my match and burn down your bridge It's a sick disease that make you feel tough on the backwards travel of lying and trust

Just wait ’til it's over and done with you're not always in control And you'll be such a shining example of how to hold on to hope I’ve seen a million examples and all of them break my heart Trust me, I’ve seen this before it looks a lot like where we are Falling short of goals Hung up on dial tones Whoa Carve my eyes out so I don't see the world around me fall apart Whoa Please just slow down ‘cause I don't understand the way that I'm feeling I don’t speak the same as I used to I’ve learned a lot of things and gained a new perspective I don’t wanna be afraid I’ll bridge the gap between who I am and who I want to be Don't you dare give up on this Don’t you think you won’t be missed "It's all perspective" she said; "don't let it get to your head" The things you think define you keep you up when you're in bed Would my younger self look up to who I came to be, or do I disappoint even the wide-eyed optimist in me? I don't hear anything unless it brings me down The sunny days carry no weight like the rainy ones in this town, so I hold my breath hope for the best I'm convinced things have a way of working out, so don't you dare give up on this

I can be a narcissist at times Always running on empty and finding ways to to coincide with all the feelings that I barely show while telling the friends I know, that im washed up, and fucked up and beat up, and little bit uncontrolled Stick myself inside this shell of mine I'll paint you a picture with my force fed lies I'll show you the ropes, just help me untie mine Rock me back and forth And tell me, ya tell me Everything's alright Easy living's got price that's hard to pay Like when I ask you honestly what you think of me My forceful habits got a mind of their own Sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go We're miles away We're miles away My compass is broken, pointing me the wrong way We're miles away We're miles away I keep telling myself, that things right now are okay Just trying to take control of my life At every turn seems like it's fight after fight There's another hurdle between me And the me that I wanna be I'm on the phone and I hear you breathe he only thing that keeps me going I try my best not to think out loud I'm locked in this cage from the inside out I got my head on loose Untie me from my noose I've got a mixed up mind Of black and yellow turpentine

A shotgun anthem forming all of these scars Winning back yard dreams, to watch it all fall apart I'll try my best at this I'll learn to look both ways We'll leap and take the dive We'll do it our own way And we'll say I will, you'll see I'll prove everyone there's something I can't believe The only one holding back is me Spent our nights living in the back of the car As we play our songs to empty rooms and parking lots and we're Barely getting paid, sometimes just on luck so we'll try to sell a t shirt for a couple of bucks And I'm trying to live And I'm trying to cope I keep running off fumes But always run out of of hope When your picture perfect dream seems like it's all just a waste Will it stay in your mouth and leave a bitter taste Crawl down, fall in I speak for myself, and every house that I've slept in Shut out, uplift When you tell me I waste it on my end With a photograph memory and the friends that we've met, I'll never trade away, and I'll never forget I'll never forget this place On our own what we create
9.
I've got a new life You'd hardly recognize me, I'm so glad How could a person like me care for you? Why would I bother when you're not the one for me? Whoa, is enough enough? I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes Life is demanding without understanding I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light Where you belong, but where do you belong? Under the clear moon For so many years I've wondered who you are How could a person like you bring me joy? Under the pale moon where I see a lot of stars Is enough enough? I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes And I am happy now living without you I left you, oh [I saw the sign] [Nathan being an idiot]
