Yeah!
There will always be
A mountain
Before you
And it will always be
Rising from the ground
To impossible heights
And you’re left screaming
“Somebody help me!”
But no one’s listening
You are all alone
You’re not living your dream
You’re living your reality
Wake up from your sleep
See things for what they are
There is no ending
Always something that stops you
And in this moment
Everything tests you
Pushing you backwards
There’s no way to win this game
The second you make it
You have to start it all over again
(And again)x4
Why do I keep going back
What other choice do I have?
Somehow I’m still holding on
Maybe it’s not for nothing
You’re not living your dream
You’re living your reality
Wake up from your sleep
See things for what they are
There will always be a mountain
And as you reach the peak
Your fingers are aching
Your body is worn
Body is worn
But you can feel the sun

The Inbetween
04:43
|

I can't help but to feel cheated
To know they can see you everyday
And I can't, I feel so defeated
But in these moments lying here
I think about the people out there
How of all the others there could be
You would choose to stay with me
Don't you lie to me and say it's soon
I've seen the clock and it doesn't move
It's the in-between that really hurts
It's the in-between, the in-between
And it feels like the cold breeze against my face
It feels like the cloudy skies above me
To know my old friends can see you everyday
When everyday I long for that far away dream
But one day I'll wake,
But one day I'll wake
Don't you lie to me and say it's soon
I've seen the clock and it doesn't move
It's the in-between that really hurts
It's the in-between, the in-between
Last night I thought of you endlessly. The stars don't seem to shine tonight and the sun never seems as bright. The windows in my room remain clouded over, so I can't tell if it's night or day. At least when you are here I know I have something to slow down time. Slowing down the night.
I know that these moments away are
Just trials we must overcome
And I know these times we are apart
Are times we grow, but that doesnt mean it doesnt hurt.
Im not saying I dont want this, its just hard sometimes.
Because the hurt sucks, but youre worth it.
Don’t you lie to me and say it’s soon
I’ve seen the clock and it doesn’t move
It’s the inbetween that really hurts
It’s the inbetween, the inbetween
The sky tonight doesn't show
its moonlit hope
I have something when you’re here!(x2)

What Was Lost
03:09
|
|||
Lately, I find it so hard to write these words.
It’s so damn hard to sit down, and say what’s in my heart
It’s like I’ve lost touch with something
Something deep inside
It’s like I’m losing who I am
And I don’t know what to do
Where do I go?
To find myself again
I’ve spent so long
Silent, waiting
For the right words to say
For something to show itself
But it seems there’s nothing
Nothing hidden
Inside of me
There’s nothing
I can say
To make this doubt go away
Sometimes I lie awake
And think of all the things I’d say
To you if you were here
But there’s nothing
Nothing I could say
Nothing inside of me,
There’s nothing, nothing
And it drives
Me crazy
Digging deep
For some shred of humanity
But it seems
I’ve lost my empathy
I feel so empty
There must be
Something more to me
Otherwise
What’s keeping me going

Now Is Found

I can feel his shadow
Weighing down upon my mind
I can feel his shadow
Bringing me down
I can feel him inside my head
He’s twisting all my words
And eating off the corners
Off my poems
He’s haunting me
He’s haunting me
He asks me
What do you believe
And I don’t have an answer
What do I believe
How do I
overcome this
overwhelming doubt
I feel so weak
I feel powerless
I feel empty
I feel so broken
Maybe it’s time
To decide what I believe
To learn just what’s important
To me
Maybe it’s time
To know what I believe
To know what I believe
I’ll tear him from my mind
Replacing doubt with honesty
I’ll rip him out of my head
I’ll find out what I believe
It won’t be easy
It will take time
The shadow of his doubt
Will still creep upon my mind
But I won’t let it
Oh I won’t let it
No, I won’t let it
Keep a hold on me

Inefficient Machines
03:57
|
|||
How close have I come
To being who I was meant to be
No matter how hard we try
We’re all inefficient machines
So what does that say
About what we create
What do we do
When our plans dissipate
Looking down (At all the pieces)
Lying there (In total disrepair)
The shattered parts (Of what I said I’d be)
What is my destiny
Rusted and battered
The friction grinds down our gears
Electric resistance
Our circuits filled with fears
I can’t stand it
But what can be done
We’re all stuck here
In imperfection
Yet we keep reaching for
Something we can never have
You are not perfect
Neither are we
Nothing is perfect
And why should it be
Rusted and battered
The friction grinds down our gears
Electric resistance
Our circuits filled with fears
I can’t stand it
I had all these plans
Of who I was supposed to be
(We’re all inefficient machines) x 4
Nothing is perfect (We’re all)
And why should it be (Inefficient machines)
What’s the point in living (We’re all)
If we’re all machines (Inefficient machines)
Run down and tired
It’s built up over these years
Endless persistence
But then life interferes
I can’t stand it
I had all these plans
I can’t stand it
But what choice do I have
Inefficient machines
Inefficient machines
Inefficient machines
Inefficient humanity

Fallout

This was a family
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
I would’ve died for you
Inside my head there sleeps perfection
And it wears the skin that you once walked in
You were supposed to save me
We built this fortress just for ourselves
To keep us safe and everyone out
You were supposed to save me
But who could’ve known
Those unbreakable walls
That we’d tear them down ourselves
When I watched the first brick
Fall to my feet
That’s the moment I knew
This won’t last
We’ll burn up upon re-entry to the lives we left behind
And now
I’ve got to figure out
Who I am
When you’re not here
When you’re not here
I need to decide
Who it is I want to be
This is not the end
But it is an ending
This is not the end
But it is and ending
This is not the end
But it is an ending

Dream State
04:11
|

Drifting through these visions
Ethereal conversation
I float in ecstasy
Mindless simplicity
But then it slips away
And I’m left to wander
This nightmarish landscape
Where my demons gather
Cackling laughter
Piercing through my soul
Their gaze paralyzes
Shreds our disguises
Makes us who we are
Makes us remember
What we’re hiding from
Into oblivion
You and I will fall
I’ll stay awhile
Talk with you
Echo your smile
Until you disappear
And leave me here
To fend for myself
Leaving me stranded
Helpless, abandoned
Waiting for their teeth
I know I can't fight them
I'll be left condemned
Buried underneath
If only I could wake up
But to wake up is to meet their gaze
I can't wake up. I can't meet their gaze
I can't meet their gaze. I can't meet their gaze.
In the corners of my mind
I hid behind these walls
This never-ending darkness
I keep it from them all
Now with closed eyes
I will succumb
I'll drift inside
Of my dreams where
They can't find me
Trapped in this dream state
I'll never escape
Floating through my fantasies
For all eternity

For You
05:00
|

I say this one last thing
Before I go on with this
Is this the beginning or ending
And if it is would you be ready?
Is this the life you wanted
The one you built yourself
Take these words and let them be felt
This is all I wanted
For You
I built these walls
For You
I walk these halls
Break free from what you knew
Take the chance you couldn't
And here you wait for something new
I know the fear is there
What if I fail myself
What if I'm to far gone here
For You
I fall to my knees
For You
I beg and I plead
For You
I try to be free
Now I'm done dragging my feet
I'm finished holding back
Now I'm done staying at my seat
Now this will be forever (x4)
For You
I am making changes
For You
I want to say this
For You
This is all for you
