Alone Is always The place where I feel safest. Let it go. I’ve been searching, Always searching, For an escape. Still no ending For me. I’ve been Staring at the walls in my basement, Trying to wait it out. Terrified of the ending, Doesn’t matter now. Paralyzed when the news hits, What do I do now? I don’t think that I can take this, I hate this. A family Made up of two separate sides. A family Torn apart on the inside. I’m so sick of people letting me down. I put my trust in a few and they just burn me out. I feel a separation on the inside. Can’t catch a break right? I’ll just cut you out my life. Alone, In a crowded home, I’ll gather my things with no place to go. It’s never ending, I hear the same things. It follows me: Cloud overhead. And I know, (And I know) If we’re counting friends, (Counting friends) I can count those left on just one hand. Nowhere left to go. No one knows me. I have no home. I’m not worth your time, no. Leave me in the dark separated from the outside. There’s plenty of things that you’ve missed. I’ll fill you in if we get the chance. And no, I’m never going back. Father, forgive me for the things I lack. A family Made up of two separate sides. A family Torn apart on the inside. I’m so sick of people letting me down. I put my trust in a few and they just burn me out. I feel a separation on the inside. Can’t catch a break right? I’ll just cut you out my life.

Take all of me Into the deep. I’ll climb my way out, I need separation. You’re taking all of me. I’ve been calling. (I’ve been calling) Still, you haunt me. I Never wanted this. I never needed this. My head’s so heavy with the way I’m thinking. Take all of me Into the deep. I’ll climb my way out, So, I’ll put it in the past. You lied to me Just to pull at my empathy. But, we’re not the same. You need to be Another victim of society Addicted to the pain. You always seem to be Stuck at the center piece. My walls cave in, And now it’s back to just you and me, Like we’re on repeat. We’re stuck on the pain, Pent up without a release. All the agony, It’s always the same. I need to be, I need to be cut from the weight. You hearing me? You need to just leave me be. I’ll put it in the past. You lied to me Just to pull at my empathy. But, we’re not the same. You need to be Another victim of society Addicted to the pain. You always seem to be Stuck at the center piece. My walls cave in, And now it’s back to just you and me, Like we’re on repeat. You Bring out the worst in me. Stuck in your ways, You’re always the same. I won’t let it take me. You lied to me, but, I’ll put it in the past. You lied to me Just to pull at my empathy. But, we’re not the same. You need to be Another victim of society Addicted to the pain. You always seem to be Stuck at the center piece. My walls cave in, And now it’s back to just you and me, Like we’re on repeat. Take all of me Into the deep. I’ll climb my way out, I need separation. It always finds a way back in, A wounded flame fed its oxygen. I Never wanted this. I never need this. My head’s so heavy with the way I think.

So, watch me fall apart. Where do we go from here? ‘Cause it’s a long way down. Did you even try? I know, I know That when I lose sight of it all, Hope finds a way To re-light the fire in me. A constant force Eating all the energy. I’m one step from the edge. Tear me down, rebuild me again. No, not today. I need release. I’m always searching, Searching for a constant reprieve. Still, I fall apart, It seems. Where do we go from here? ‘Cause it’s a long way down. Did you even try? I know, I know That when I lose sight of it all, Hope finds a way To re-light the fire in me. But I guess it still never was enough. I still have these thoughts Lingering in my mind Of how I’m never going to be The one to escape what’s pulling me Under. Show me Your sacrifice. Where do we go from here? ‘Cause it’s a long way down. Did you even try? I know, I know That when I lose sight of it all, Hope finds a way To re-light the fire in me. Keep searching for the exit. You ever wonder why it always ends up absent? Look to yourself, And turn your struggling into motivation. Well I’ve had enough. Dig deep To find the strength that you need. And when the world caves in all around me, A lion heart is all that I need. Show me. My tried and true, You fought for me, now I’ll fight for you. With the odds stacked up, Give me everything and keep pushing through. I know, I know That when I lose sight of it all, Hope finds a way To re-light the fire in me.

Winter 03:26
Time slips away. Tell me It’s okay, We haven’t spoken in days and I’m losing sleep. Focused on the ending, But always lost in between. Without fail. Time slips away. Nothing Seems to go my way. I’m stuck in a depressive state Wondering which way the gravity will take me. And I can’t Seem to make things change. Winds change, But the earth beneath Still stays the same. Same as it did before, The give and take always seems to want more. Hollowed on the inside, Nothing feels right, Still I endure. I’m running but I seem to be Going no where quick. Going no where quick. I can’t Always play pretend. Nothing Seems to go my way. Nothing Seems to go my way. I’m stuck in a depressive state Wondering which way the gravity will take me. And I can’t Seem to make things change. Winds change, But the earth beneath Still stays the same. Have I traveled this road too long? Is my sanity all but gone? Is there any way out for me? ‘Cause the sound is deafening. There’s no way out for me. Every time that I leave, I come to questioning: Have my passions Changed The best In me? Still stuck on this road, Twelve-hundred miles to go. Will I ever make it there? Even if I did, would you even care?

Burn it to the ground. Burn it to the ground. Burn it to the ground. Burn it down, let’s start again. I’m writing on the walls, Temporarily healing, To escape from the same, sick feeling. Let me wander, I’ll find my way back again. At times, it shows, I hear the words that they say. No one can ever know How deep the scars really go. I’ll set it all ablaze; What used to be. I don’t Need reminding Of what’s never Coming back to me. Grab ahold of me. (Grab ahold of me) I know I’m not the same. I pushed away Everything that I need. I’m writing on the walls, Temporarily healing, To escape from the same, sick feeling. Let me wander, I’ll find my way back again. At times, it shows, I hear the words that they say. No one can ever know How deep the scars really go. Burn it to the ground. Burn it to the ground. Burn it to the ground. Burn it down, let’s start again. I’m terrified of what’s been getting into me. No thanks to lack of sleep. I’m writing you again. I’ve stretched myself out way too thin, Got lost somehow. I’ve gone way too deep for you to pull me out. And It’s not your fault, I know, I pushed too hard and you let me go. After all this time, Could you forgive me still? I’ll write to you Like I always have. So, here’s to all the years we’re never getting back. And it’s not your fault, I know, I pushed too hard and you let me go. After all this time, Could you forgive me still? It’s not your fault.

Take me straight to the ending, I can’t escape the feeling. I’m all alone, I’m all alone. Here’s to wishing we were younger, back when we were stronger. Each passing day, it gets harder. Holding on To the memories. I’m holding on To anything. I’ve been writing, but nothing seems to make any sense. All the long nights, I’ve been up thinking. I remind myself to breathe out and breathe in. And when my chest slows, I’ll find the words to begin. Dear brother, You’ll always be a part of me. You are right here, Even though at times, it’s hard to see. You can find me at the tracks. You can find me at the tracks again. Collecting every memory we spent. I’ll meet you at the end. Take me straight to the ending, I can’t escape the feeling. I’m all alone, I’m all alone. Here’s to wishing we were younger, back when we were stronger. Each passing day, it gets harder. We always seem to ask ourselves, “why?” Tell me, what’s the point in living on the other side? My innocent brother, where the hell have you been? My only wish: I only wish to see you again. I remember all the times we shared, so young and innocent. I can remember things were better then. We’re running, We’re running out of time. How’s it that we found ourselves Trapped on separate sides? I’ve been calling, Time and time again. But I know, none of this is making any sense. We’re all just counting sheep, So lay me down to sleep. There are even times I’m wishing I’m the one they take. We’re running, We’re running out of time. I know I’m missing you the most tonight. Take me straight to the ending, I can’t escape the feeling. I’m all alone, I’m all alone. Here’s to wishing we were younger, back when we were stronger. Each passing day, it gets harder. We always seem to ask ourselves, “why?” Tell me, what’s the point in living on the other side? My innocent brother, where the hell have you been? My only wish: I only wish to see you again. Most days I don’t want to get out of bed. I close my eyes And wait for the pain to end. Now I’m awake, So tell me, where the hell have you been? My only wish. My only wish.
