Old Promises

Rain fell hard as I walked home
Guess that's the price I pay for walking alone
But I couldn't stay there
I can't stay here
Sorry was never enough
For the things I didn't do,
And the things I didn't say,
But you blamed me anyway.
I'm so used to being let down
I need to let go
Before this buries me six feet underground.
I found old promises you made
That I kept hidden away
They never meant anything
They never held any weight
Your words ring through my ears
But your face fades from my mind
As all your colours fade grey
I'll leave it all behind
I'll leave it all behind.
And I'll admit that I'm struggling
To keep up with the pace
That you're pushing me away
That you're making it hard to stay.
Weather me down to bear my fucking bones
Maybe I'll be happy when I learn to be alone
I just can learn to be alone
Sometimes
I wish I had the heart to have none
And sometimes
I wonder if you're proud of what you've done
I found old promises you made
That I kept hidden away
They never meant anything
They never held any weight
Your words ring through my ears
But your face fades from my mind
As all your colours fade grey
I'll leave it all behind

Going Under
03:01

I've gotten used to the view from my window,
I watch the world ignite while I burn slow.
I just wish I knew what you expect from me.
Today,
I needed to get away.
Because I don't know
Who I've been as of late
I'll be fine
If you give me time,
To get it right.
I can't sleep
Alone with my mind
I can't stand
and watch myself be the
Reason I get left behind.
I watched the fall leaves fade,
And as I did I felt okay
Looking at the world,
And feeling for a second like I could relate
My roots have grown weak
Since I lost my sense of home
I've been wandering through wonder
To keep myself from going under alone
Today,
I needed to get away
Because I'll just keep sinking
If I stay
And the mountains looked so beautiful
But they never made me feel as small
As you did, and you said stay strong
Hold tight let's just get through the night
You swore you didn't lie
That everything would end up just fine
But you did
I watched the fall leaves fade,
And as I did I felt okay
Looking at the world,
And feeling for a second like I could relate.
My roots have grown weak
Since I lost my sense of home
I've been wandering through wonder
To keep myself from going under alone.
Please pull me out
Of this hole I've been digging around myself
Before I build up these walls into a wishing well
And wish for better days
And better ways
To keep my mind at ease
To keep me from going under
To keep me from finding my fate at sea

I've Never Been...
02:27

I've never been one to take my life on head first
I spend my time on the run
I've never been one to take my life for granted
But I'd give it all to be someone
And I can't control the way I get when I,
I'm running on sleepless nights
And all the problems that they bring
I can't pretend I'm doing okay,
With these bags under my eyes.
I've never been much of anything.
I've never been one
To feel a sense of belonging.
I don't fit in anywhere completely.
I've never been one
To make a good impression
So I think it's best if I just leave.
And I can't control the way I get when I,
I'm running on sleepless nights
And all the problems that they bring
I can't pretend I'm doing okay,
With these bags under my eyes.
I've never been much of anything.
I've never been much of anything.

Empty Canvas

Sever the tie that binds me to your head
I never wanted an apology
For all the things you said when you were
Angry and desperate
Left grasping at words that never fit
Into your stories
But I'm getting used to it.
Don't take this from me.
Did you really think that you
Could do everything just to push me away
Then turn around and blame it all on me
And ask why I didn't stay?
I went away from every way
That I could fall into your trap
Maybe it's time I leave
Before you have time to come back
Remember when you had your own personality?
Instead of stealing it from friends
And people that you saw on TV.
An empty canvas left for the world to deface
I hope for you sake sometime soon,
Someone puts you in your place.
Tell me I'm wrong,
That I've been all along,
Tell me I'm wrong.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Did you really think that you
Could do everything just to push me away
Then turn around and blame it all on me
And ask why I didn't stay?
I went away from every way
That I could fall into your trap
Maybe it's time I leave
Before I have time to look back.

Another Lonely Year
04:17
|
|||
|
As another hollow day goes by
I sit at home and wonder why
I waste my time writing shitty love songs
About feelings that have only ever gone wrong for me
And I'm constantly caught between
The fear of staying who I've been
And growing old with nothing but my apathy.
Will I ever find the way back to my sanity?
Or have I turned my back on all that was infront of me?
I've gotten good at running away from all the bad dreams
About getting by on bitter thoughts and sympathy.
So here's to another lonely year
Of wondering how I even ended up here
On the underside of a bumpy ride
But I'm still learning how to steer.
And here's to another sleepless night
Wondering if I'll ever be alright on my own,
And if these four walls I built around myself
Will ever feel like home
And it hurts to be alone
And it hurts even more to know
That that is something that I chose,
But I just don't have the confidence to show
My good intentions
My fading perception
That's been searching for the good in everybody else,
But I can't find it in myself to try
To mould this thing that I call my life
And I don't want to say you're right
But I think about it every single night.
Will I ever stop pushing everyone away,
With my uncertainty and dead end mentality?
Will I ever stop pushing everyone away
Or will I dig my way out of this shallow grave before it's too late?
So here's to another lonely year
Of wondering how I even ended up here
On the underside of a bumpy ride
But I'm still learning how to steer.
And here's to another sleepless night
Wondering if I'll ever be alright on my own,
And if these four walls I built around myself
Will ever feel like home
And I've been drawing lifelines on the walls
Trying to trace my way back to last fall
When I didn't feel sick
And I didn't have to fake this
When I didn't feel sick
When I didn't feel sick
So here's to another lonely year
Of wondering how I even ended up here
On the underside of a bumpy ride
But I'm still learning how to steer.
And here's to another sleepless night
Wondering if I'll ever be alright on my own,
And if these four walls I built around myself
Will ever feel like home

House Arrest
03:34
|

I've been convinced for far too long
That everything I do just ends up wrong,
And everyone I've ever cared about,
Gets pushed away.
Don't let me go.
Don't let me go to war,
If I don't know what I'm fighting for.
Maybe I'll let this go one day
Maybe I'll take this to my grave
But I won't let this get the best of me.
If I
I said I didn't mean
To be
The one who ruins everything
Would you
Take my words to heart
Before they make me fall apart?
I just can't show my good intentions
I've been trying to find
The silver lining to these
Nights I spend buried in my mind.
Tear me apart at the seems,
Dig into my bones to find
I'm not proud of who I've been,
I've been living
Like I'm under house arrest
The world keeps moving forward
And I'm what's left
I've been living
Like a kid who needs some rest
The world keeps moving forward
I gave it my best
If I
I said I didn't mean
To be
The one who ruins everything
Would you
Take my words to heart
Before they make me fall apart?
I've been living
Like I'm under house arrest
The world keeps moving forward
And I'm what's left
I've been living
Like a kid who needs some rest
The world keeps moving forward
I gave it my best
