Standstill

I'm only screaming these words
To get them off my chest
My head is filled with thoughts and feelings
I can't seem to collect
And maybe I'm being irrational
But I can't help who I am
I've been pulled apart
By the seams and sewn together by unstable hands
Now I'm stuck at a fork in the road
Wondering which way I should go
(Am I lost)
But in the back of my mind
(Or am I simply wasting time on this?)
I want to believe that I know
Don't tell me that the end is near
You know that isn't something I can stand to hear
I've got a mind of glass and a heart of stone
But at least I've got something I can call my own
Searching for answers and losing my mind
Why can't you stay in or out of my life
Picking up pieces of what's left behind
All with the risk of you faking those lines
And now my feelings change
And they grow
And they dip
And they ebb
And they flow
I can't forgive what you've done to me
Now I'm stuck at a fork in the road
Wondering which way I should go
(Am I lost)
But in the back of my mind
(Or am I simply wasting time on this?)
I want to believe that I know
Don't tell me that the end is near
That isn't something I can stand to hear
I've got a mind of glass and a heart of stone
But at least I've got something I can call my own (x2)
I never thought I would say this but you brought it out
Meeting you is a memory I could live without
The thought of a future with someone like you
Is probably the last thing that I would pursue

Take Aim
03:24
|

I never thought that things would be this way
I’ve grown accustomed to how much these burdens weigh
Constantly battling for some sort of peace or
Relief from this madness
So beautifully tragic
Where do I go from here
Constant reminders of the things I fear
And your words draw me back into
This back and forth we know so well
You’ve got the worst of intentions I can tell
I wish I could get your words out of my mind
And leave every memory of you behind
Hope lost in the blink of an eye
I knew we couldn’t change the end even if we tried
Biting bullets never was my strong suit
Quit taking aim
I fell for lies that could only come from you
My peace of mind is what I held onto
And were spiraling into
This back and forth we know so well
You’ve got the worst of intentions I can tell
I wish I could get your words out of my mind
And leave every memory of you behind
Hope lost in the blink of an eye
I knew we couldn’t change the end even if we tried
Biting bullets never was my strong suit
Quit taking aim
I know it’s hard to believe
That everything you are is nothing that I want to be
I can’t play your game
These days I find myself
Slipping farther and farther from what I’ve known
Back to a place I promised myself that I would never go again
I just hope you know
I fought this feeling for so long
Fighting the urge to let go but forgetting why we’re holding on
Hope lost in the blink of an eye
I knew we couldn’t change the end even if we tried
Biting bullets never was my strong suit
Quit taking aim
I know it’s hard to believe
That everything you are is nothing that I want to be
I can’t play your game

Guilty Sheets
03:47
|

Do you get happier with every word that leaves your mouth?
Like what you say is a method of letting everything out
But I can't base my decisions on what you say to me
'Cause I don't have a good reason to think that you could want me
It's hard to tell from the way you've been acting
But I keep quiet 'cause I'm tired of asking
Baby, can't you see you're not invincible?
Guilty sheets can take their toll
But I know that you know that I'm not letting go
I'll sit back and watch as you put on your show
Don't you know that you are terrible?
You threw it all away for a night that was unbearable
Where did I go wrong?
I was right there all along
Where did I go wrong?
But I won't sit around and wait for you to make up your mind
I'd be wasting breath to tell you that you were never worth my time
'Cause you're burning bridges
And the smoke is making it harder to see
The person I thought you were
I can't believe you got the best of me
I've gotta find a way to show you who I am underneath
'Cause what you see and what you feel, they can be two different things
You can't deny it when I tell you that you've got a problem
I've got dreams and aspirations; you will never stop 'em
It's hard to tell from the way you've been acting
But I keep quiet 'cause I'm tired of asking
Baby, can't you see you're not invincible?
Guilty sheets can take their toll
But I know that you know that I'm not letting go
I'll sit back and watch as you put on your show
Don't you know that you are terrible?
You threw it all away for a night that was unbearable
Where did I go wrong?
I was right there all along
I can't wait for you to beg me for a second chance
I've figured out your true intentions and I'm taking a stance
I can't wait for you to beg me for a second chance
I've figured out your true intentions and I'm taking a stance

Hollow
02:52

I've got so much on my mind
All my failures and wasted time
But I won't let it get the best of me
I'm sick of living with so much doubt
When I'm gone will these words still ring out?
A vision taking life in the form of sound
And all these structures built by calloused hands that paved the way
Will always be there brick by brick just to remind me
I'm gonna take the world by storm
This is my time to move on and
Make a name for me
I'm gone, there's no turning back
I've given this all that I have to
Make you remember me
Remember me
I've had enough of the same routine
Of waking up from dreams and feeling incomplete
It's time for me to pack up and leave
There's nothing left for me
There's nothing left for me
I'm nothing but a hollow body made of skin and bones where this heavy heart calls home
And this is how I seem to make sense of it all
Some say that I'm a dreamer
And I'd say they're missing out
This life is what I make
This life is mine
And all these structures built by calloused hands that paved the way
Will always be there brick by brick just to remind me
I'm gonna take the world by storm
This is my time to move on and
Make a name for me
I'm gone, there's no turning back
I've given this all that I have to
Make you remember me
Remember me
You will remember me

Nothing to Prove
03:00
|

I’ve got a lot of things to say but they won’t roll off my tongue
You try to play this off like you’re the innocent one
And I don’t think you’d be happy with the things that I’ve done
It’s like you’re standing right behind me with a loaded gun
So tell me do you regret
Giving me so much to bet on
(You’re the reason)
I’ve got nothing to prove to anybody but you
(Give me time to say goodbye)
I’m picking up the pieces of a shattered lie
I wake up every morning and I don’t know why
I’ve got our memories inside me just to satisfy
But I watch them fade away in the blink of an eye
So tell me do you regret
Giving me so much to bet on
(You’re the reason)
I’ve got nothing to prove to anybody but you
(Give me time to say goodbye)
Give me time to say goodbye
Pay close attention
Let me break this down
And you will understand
All that I’ve hear, no words of yours
Could ever make or break the man I am
I need to find a way to make you regret
All the promises and things you said you’d never forget
So tell me do you regret
Giving me so much to bet on
(You’re the reason)
I’ve got nothing to prove to anybody but you
(Give me time to say goodbye)

Peace of Mind
04:03
|

And I know we’ve got the motivation to fulfill our dreams
You don’t put your faith in any word that leaves my teeth
And I didn’t come this far to give up and turn back this is all I’ve wanted
We planted the seed that will grow into a monument that came from nothing
And I hope you see your ignorance
As I’m making up for everything I missed
Put everything I’ve got into this
You told me not to take a risk
But how many nights will pass us by
We can’t rewrite the time
Satisfaction is just half the crime
And I tell myself that I’ll forget you if I find the time
I’m just looking for some peace of mind
Let’s go back to a time
When I was lost without these dreams in mind
Fighting demons that were much more perseverant than I
Making due till the day that I’d find my way to get to know who I was inside
And I tried to choose the path that you’d want for me
I know you find so much peace in my security
I just have to do this for my own sake
I won’t be left remembering the chances that I didn’t take
And I hope you see your ignorance
As I’m making up for everything I missed
But how many nights will pass us by
We can’t rewrite the time
Satisfaction is just half the crime
And I tell myself that I’ll forget you if I find the time
I’m just looking for some peace of mind
I’ve got no time to lose
This is the life I choose
I’ve been beaten, broken down and I have paid my dues
I swear as long as my heart beats this is the only way I’ll ever find a home in me
I would never change everything that I’ve been through because it’s made me who I am today
