You sit there silently Cut your final tie to me One last goodbye without a hint of regret And as we’re parting ways I look back and quietly Whisper the final words I wish I had said Please don’t walk away Please don’t walk away Just please don’t walk away Please don’t walk away Silence is killing me I’m refusing to believe You never think about the nights that we spent Vacant lots where we would park Sparks exploding in the dark The moments that I know I’ll never forget Please don’t walk away Please don’t walk away Just please don’t walk away Please don’t walk away Let me spill my guts to you You don’t have to say a thing back to me I just need some time to prove That what I feel inside isn’t crazy Every second we’re apart I think of endless words I wish I could say Let me spill my guts to you Just please don’t walk away

(Were we doomed from the start) Was this broke pitch-black apartment Dark enough to change your heart and make you go To leave me cold and on my own While we felt the tension in us grow The horrible nights we spent Knowing it’s too late to make amends Our history is dead You pulled me into a void of nothing Vacancy while you made your peace I’m stranded out between the edge and something Strong enough to seal the hole you leave I hope you feel empty without me Did you mean to replace All of the moments that we wasted and rewind Play back your life and hope you’ll find A fucking better state of mind And how does it taste knowing He’s just another off-brand version of me Do you lie awake and contemplate Why you can’t find relief? You pulled me into a void of nothing Vacancy while you made your peace I’m stranded out between the edge and something Strong enough to seal the hole you leave I hope you feel empty without me I’m wondering Were we doomed from the start Was this all just a part of a manic state Brought to a bitter descent Hope the words we said will fade You can try to run away But it won’t solve the mess you made The pain is permanently stained onto you When you look at our remains As the time disintegrates Will you finally see this all from my view

Sulk 03:32
I can’t escape this feeling It’s eating me alive as I stare at the ceiling I’m high again So I won’t feel a thing My mind’s beginning to decay And everyone keeps telling me that I’ll be okay But this misery It’s fucking killing me And it feels like I’m losing my mind Just wasting my time As I sulk around pretending that everything’s fine Where is my silver lining? I’ve got to let go and try to leave this all behind me Guess I’m calling it quits Losing touch with reality I can’t get a grip on anything I need stability This is all a facade I’ll hide how I feel Pretend I’m someone I’m not For the sake of you Got nothing left to lose And it feels like I’m losing my mind Just wasting my time As I sulk around pretending that everything’s fine Where is my silver lining? I’ve got to let go and try to leave this all behind me So lost inside my own head Sat in a parking lot at 3AM And tried to escape every word that you said I dwell on things I can’t change Wishing that I could turn another page It feels like the world’s crashing down on me I failed everything and everyone And the worst of it has yet to come I just hate myself too much to love anyone And yeah I may be young but I’m not naïve So I’ll keep screaming my lungs out ‘cause it’s plain to see Things will never be the same And I’ve got no one but myself to blame And it feels like I’m losing my mind Just wasting my time As I sulk around pretending that everything’s fine

Light drained from your face Pacing back and forth You feel it begin to sink in deep You’re dragging it on I hate to see you this way Don't think it’s all your fault when seams start to fray I know this stings You’re lost in it all But I won’t let you take the fall Stuck in the wake of heartbreak Of heartbreak Stuck in the wake of heartbreak Of heartbreak You’re missing the chase I keep watching you make the same mistake Weighed down by what you’ll never resolve Things aren’t gonna change If you won’t help yourself No one else here can save you Give this what you’ve got before it’s gone She’s just leading you along Stuck in the wake of heartbreak Of heartbreak Stuck in the wake of heartbreak Of heartbreak Stuck in the wake of heartbreak Of heartbreak Stuck in the wake of heartbreak Of heartbreak
5.
Watching you fall Down to your knees No more pleasantries from me I’m watching you crawl And hide from your problems When you can’t solve them Ironic that’s your fault And it’s hard for me to see Anything of value here worth keeping (Believe me) That your empty stare hides nothing underneath Since you left I’m feeling free Toss your dignity away You refuse to make a change Let’s get one thing straight I won’t associate with deadweight You’ll get no pity from me If you believe That you’re laced with tragedy Own up to your mistakes Or you will take them to your grave Your god complex Will set you back And bury you in shame So stop biting your tongue Disown the path you walked along Admit you’re wrong So toss your dignity away You refuse to make a change Let’s get one thing straight I won’t associate with deadweight You’ll get no pity from me If you believe That you’re laced with tragedy You're laced with tragedy (So stop biting your tongue) (So stop biting your tongue) This is the moment that we sever our ties I’m blocking you out till you’re the last thing on my mind

Headspace 03:52
I’ve been wasting my time Repeating all of the signs And I don’t know what to do Cast a shade on this light To keep me out of your life Your words replay in my mind on a loop Then I saw your face I froze in place The essence of you is consuming me I need space to clear my head And erase every word you said Every thought I have of you Feels like salt inside my wounds I’m losing faith I’m hanging by a thread Please let this end I can’t carry this weight Feel its pressure everyday Since you left behind all that we knew Cold and bitter to taste All the nights we replaced With a lonely city street view This was everything Now you’re out of my reach I’m watching you sink through the ground beneath I need space to clear my head And erase every word you said Every thought I have of you Feels like salt inside my wounds I’m losing faith I’m hanging by a thread Please let this end I can’t forgive I can’t forget Swallowing pill after pill to get you out of my head I still feel this constant dread But I won’t let you in again
7.
Heard that you found someone new While walking home in the dark Nearly tore me apart Is it true The street lights flicker and spark As I’m wandering lost and confused The day I watched you depart Was your final remark an excuse or the truth When you said we needed solitude Barely making it through This feeling’s hard to contain I’m not ready to face that I’ve always been replaceable to you So I’ll pretend it’s not true I’ll be keeping my distance To erase your existence I want to resist this But all I can think of is you I’m finding ways to pass the time While I wait for your reply but There isn’t a song I can write that will bring back the feeling of you and I
8.
Can you justify the way you cast your life in such a dreary light Someday you’ll realize it’s up to you to realign Take it slow Reflect on all this time that you’ve spent on your own If you look around then it will show You can sell your misery But it won’t bring you much relief I hope you see the light before it starts to fade While there’s something left to save Let’s redefine the way you live your life Pushing all your thoughts aside ‘Cause if you live a lie You’ll waste all your time searching Through all the disarray To find what still remains of the person That you tried to erase You can sell your misery But it won’t bring you much relief I hope you see the light before it starts to fade While there’s something left to save You can spend your life in solitude If that’s the path you choose But you will throw away all you could pursue You can sell your misery But it won’t bring you much relief I hope you see the light before it starts to fade You can sell your misery But it won’t bring you much relief I hope you see the light before it starts to fade While there’s something left to save
9.
Trying not to get my hopes up ‘Cause I’m bound to get let down again And lately I’ve been feeling so stuck Wonder when I’ll be the one who moves ahead Anxiety gets the best of me Between the pills and therapy I’m spent I hope that I can find some clarity Before I start to fall in this descent So if you were to up and leave I would understand Wish I wasn’t so afraid Of making one little mistake I don’t expect My mind is rotted and decayed From all the days that I spent in this disconnect The life you see inside your screens Is not the same behind the scenes In fact (I’m such a nervous wreck with nothing left but selfishness) The way that I have been perceived is Something that I’m starting to reject (But it’s starting to conquer me) If you were to up and leave I would understand I’m not begging for sympathy Just need you to know the kind of person that I am We’re drowning in the silence There’s no point to me confiding As I watch you leave and make up an excuse This conversation was one-sided But I don’t really mind it As you walk away and fade out of view Trying not to get my hopes up ‘Cause I’m bound to get let down again And lately I’ve been feeling so stuck Wonder when I’ll be the one who moves ahead

Exeter 02:44
Gaining a new perspective On the way it feels to be back home Life is nothing like it used to be Unsure if I believe I can make it on my own Now that I’m grown I miss the days when I would wander with nowhere to go If I escape then I’ll be struggling to stay afloat Caught in-between fate and the simple life I used to lead This is home This is me And I’m afraid I will lose myself When I finally make my way out All that I need is nearly out of reach I always thought that I would be the one to walk away Never regret the choice I made But all my fears reappeared While I was wasting the year Being forced to isolate and overthink It’s out of my control If I stay I know I’ll slowly decompose This is home This is me And I’m afraid I will lose myself When I finally make my way out All that I need is nearly out of reach So I know that I was meant to leave Life will never be as simple as it was back in my youth And I can’t compromise or bide my time I need to face the truth That although I’m feeling unsure I won’t be anchored down anymore And I’ll gladly pay the price ‘Cause this is time I can’t afford This is time I can’t afford And I can’t waste it anymore
11.
High 03:02
You’ve outgrown The girl I know It’s time to face the truth And if this ends I’m all alone again But am I better off with you Surround yourself with friends To help you tune out all the loneliness While I reminisce in solitude How did we slip into this decline Of transient relief Just when I think that you’re at my side You drift away and leave And can you see it inside of my eyes I’m unhappy It’s plain to see You’d rather be high than be with me How did we slip into this decline (You’d rather be high than be with me) Just when I think that you’re at my side (You’d rather be high than be with me) And can you see it inside of my eyes (You’d rather be high than be with me) It’s plain to see You’d rather be high than be with me
12.
Feel like a prisoner trapped inside of my own skin Feel like a failure for all the time that I’m wasting I’m walking home alone Climb five flights of stairs to this broken home Where I’m constantly reminded of Mistakes I can never let go It’s pushing me over the edge Praying I will make it out alive As I descend I’m thinking back to a better time When I was still young and I felt so alive Now I’m struggling to realize That things have changed It’s too overwhelming The thoughts that the devil tries to sell me Please someone tell me That life won’t always look this gray It’s pushing me over the edge Praying I will make it out alive As I descend The farther I fall The harder it gets To pull myself out of the thoughts in my head They’ve swallowed me whole As I finally fall to my bitter descent (As I finally fall to my bitter descent Things have changed Things have changed)
13.
All anyone talks about is letting go But they’re all broke and stoned and I’m starting to lose control And why should I forget the things that made me grow It's nice to know that no one ever gave a damn if I made it home Everybody just keeps telling me to give up everything That every word I say is meaningless It's just something that I sing about but no one listens 'Cause no one gives a damn about me It's time that I stop overthinking ‘Cause this who I am supposed to be Times are changing and soon you’ll see a different side of me I know for certain this will be worth it I’ve figured out everything has a purpose There's always someone out there who'll tear you down And make you feel ashamed But I will stand my ground They're just another person in my way And here's food for thought if you can even fathom Maybe you're the one who's missing out on Everything life has to offer Your misery is all your fault (All your fault) I know for certain this will be worth it I’ve figured out everything has a purpose I'm forgetting the things that make me feel empty And I'm starting to find my way everyday I’m standing my ground and I'll fight till I break I know for certain this will be worth it I’ve figured out everything has a purpose Everything has a purpose
14.
How would you betray a friend If you had to let them go One day you’ll understand the circumstance Was out of your control And how do you betray a friend Who was always there for you Now only lies remain As time decays will you reveal the truth 3 AM waking up in cold sweats Trying hard to tell myself that you deserve this And I’m contemplating what to do ‘Cause I’m the one that has to Face the crowd and tell the story Stay composed and keep on moving ‘Cause I am not the victim Yeah you dragged me into this Found guilty as charged You’re hiding the scars but I know You’re losing your self control Left to carry the weight of Haunting mistakes that you made You’ve got no one else to blame Hang your head in shame And face the consequence This is your fall from grace Far too late to make amends You act so helpless But selfishly you bite your tongue Blood seeping down into your lungs Until you fucking choke Found guilty as charged You’re hiding the scars but I know You’re losing your self control Left to carry the weight of Haunting mistakes that you made You’ve got no one else to blame How do you betray a friend When there’s nothing left to show You’re all but strangers now It's time to let go Found guilty as charged You’re hiding the scars but I know You’re losing your self control Left to carry the weight of Haunting mistakes that you made You’ve got no one else to blame
