You watch me fight against current but it's proven to hard you tried to compensate for leaving, by just falling apart So I've made sure to keep some distance between me and my friends I've made a constant fucking effort to find all these dead ends So instead keep your head, Above all thats been said Don't jump in, you won't win, don't stray far from the surface again And y'know that, and y'know that, you won't break my ribs tonight It's every little thing you say, it drags me under, it makes me sink You fill these lungs with water So what's the plan? Are we struggling to keep composure? I ask you these questions you tell me you're not sure Passive aggressively passing on bad nights I tell myself daily that every things alright Out of sight out of mind Lately you'll find, I'm far from the line because i'm taking my time I'm not on my own, and since then I've grown You said if I jumped in you wouldn't let go And y'know that, and y'know that, you won't break my ribs tonight It's every little thing you say, it drags me under, it makes me sink You fill these lungs with water And it's sad your heart does what it's told And under your sheep skin it must get old Cause we've heard your stories and they're filled with lies They pour through your sore gums and widened eyes Every little thing you say, it drags me under, it makes me sink

Up All Night 03:02
I didn't hear a word you said But I'm trying to get it through my head And I am looking just to catch a breath So I can figure just out what I did tonight Im searching for the answer to my life And anything that helps me through this lie I'm asking for assistance need a guide Cause I've been up all night Waiting to see through every darkened sky to leave the past behind I've been up all night Waiting to see through every hopeless sigh to leave the past behind tonight I'm crawling back into my bed tonight, and sinking back into my great demise And all these little things that pass the time, never meant much to me Cause it's a different sound, A different feeling I'm used to hearing, Used to stealing And I can tell you how I really feel I doubt you'd listen to me Cause I've been up all night Waiting to see through every darkened sky to leave the past behind I've been up all night Waiting to see through every hopeless sigh to leave the past behind tonight To leave the past behind tonight To leave the past behind tonight

Well there's something wrong here, You're giving me more than just the time of day And there's something strong here, I don't have the courage to walk away To walk away Well do ya feel that, ya feel that, I hope to let you know, I'm not the same kid I was back in high school now, And I'm having a hard time figuring out, The problems this will cause You're trying to convince yourself, Convince yourself it's fine She's got a boyfriend, she's got a boyfriend (ain't it so typical) She's telling me she wants something new Whoa, whoa, oh oh She's got a boyfriend, she's got a boyfriend (am I delusional) Just let it go it's nothing new Whoa, whoa, oh no Well do ya hear that, ya hear that I think that we both know, A secret safe with you is safe with me And you know I'm not surprised, the look inside your eyes, Tells me that there's something wrong here So come on let me break this down for you She's got a boyfriend, she's got a boyfriend (ain't it so typical) She's telling me she wants something new Whoa, whoa, oh oh She's got a boyfriend, she's got a boyfriend (am I delusional) Just let it go it's nothing new Whoa, whoa, oh no Would you please not bring me into this (Nights were long, nights were cold, things were getting old It's all the same, I'm to blame, always what I'm told)

Dead Weight 02:46
Lyrics: I never thought about it that way Actually I never thought at all I'm sick and tired of feeling bad for shit you've stopped and stalled Starting to feel like I'm just dead weight Or maybe I'm just dead to you It's no surprise, I did the things I swear I'd do for you I'm lonely in my own spare time, I read between these broken lines I'm not surprised, I think that I just need some sense of Acceptance was a friend of mine, but lately she's been on decline Swears that I shouldn't play the pessimist I'm constantly trying, Dipping and diving (I never really thought you'd care) Get it together, I never really thought you'd care (I never really thought you'd care) Now I'm honestly lying, desperately hiding (I never really thought you'd care) I'm put back together, I never really thought you'd care (I never really thought you'd care) You're cutting it off, Just let it sink in You say it's all good then do it again I mean what I meant, I'm sick of this house again I'm sick of this house again So sick of Constantly trying, Dipping and diving (I never really thought you'd care) Get it together, I never really thought you'd care (I never really thought you'd care) Now I'm honestly lying, desperately hiding (I never really thought you'd care) I'm put back together, I never really thought you'd care (I never really thought you'd care)

Hollow 04:20
I felt so hollow on the inside these past 3 and a half years I've been stumbling over words that used to come out so clear And I know that this is hard for you, All these words are hard to choose I hope that things get better as you move to higher ground Your found, Your found I watched you fade away I watched my whole world turn to grey I felt so empty that cold january night And they'll state things I already know Feel your heart beat start to slow I'm hardly here, Cause I'll never hear what I want to hear Cause I've been turning over pages to find some acceptance No one lives forever and I'm no exception So what do I believe, I'm not entirely sure I was finding some relief, now I just toil and stir Because I'm too young to put those thoughts in my head I'm in deep and darker waters, so I'll desperately tread I remind myself exactly of what I am to say But the words come out like violence before they fall into place so I'm hollow And I'm trying to piece it all together I'd be lying if I said I'm That I'm trying to piece it all together Cause I'm lying, not getting any better Not getting any better Not getting any better I watched you fade away I watched my whole world turn to grey I felt so empty that cold january night And they'll state things I already know Feel your heart beat start to slow I'm hardly here, Cause I'll never hear what I want to hear (I felt so hollow) Cause I'll never hear what I want to hear Cause I'll never hear what I want to hear
