Far From Fine

Once more, I'm a wreck and
I'm constantly stressing
About the person that I know I'll never be
It's got me tired and restless
I'm afraid that the best has
Gone and faded into history
I don't want to fall off course, I'm already behind
Trying hard, not to lose my
Mind, my soul and everything that drives me towards this age old goal
Hoping that someday I'll know when I grow old
I'll look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment
But these nights I find, *myself pondering on why I even try
Eyes fixated on that age old prize
To look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment
With a sense of
It never feels like enough
To keep my head up
Or give a feeling of serenity to me
'cause when things get rough
No matter what
I always run away so cowardly
I don't want to fall off course, I'm already behind
Trying hard, not to lose my
Mind, my soul and everything that drives me towards this age old goal
Hoping that someday I'll know when I grow old
I'll look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment
But these nights I find, *myself pondering on why I even try
Eyes fixated on that age old prize
To look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment
With a sense of
Knowing that I tried despite all the complications
And kept my spirit strong against all degradation
One day I'll prove you wrong, I'll never fall behind
I'll do it all, I'll give my all, without losing my-
Mind, my soul and everything that drives me towards this age old goal
Hoping that someday I'll know when I grow old
I'll look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment
But these nights I find, *myself pondering on why I even try
Eyes fixated on that age old prize
To look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment

Night after night, day after day
Nothing ever seems to turn out my way
I'm more than convinced that that'll never change
'Cause I've been stuck here
Caught on the same old fears
That'll strike me down again
Just as they've done for years and years on end
I know just too damn well by now than
To give it one last shot
For what it's worth, I know damn well
I should give it all I've got
There's nothing left to say, or anything to contemplate
But, knowing me, I'll still wait
'Cause I feel caged in, I know that I'll never win
With all these problems, I'll never be anything
But that fucked up kid, who never quite fit in
Sense of accomplishment, will never mean a thing
One more night, one more day
Still right here, still feel the same
I can't quit, I can't change
I know just too damn well by now than
To give it one last shot
For what it's worth, I know damn well
I should give it all I've got
There's nothing left to say, or anything to contemplate
But, knowing me, I'll still wait
'Cause I feel caged in, I know that I'll never win
With all these problems, I'll never be anything
But that fucked up kid, who never quite fit in
Sense of accomplishment, will never mean a thing
'Cause I feel caged in, I know that I'll never win
With all these problems, I'll never be anything
But that fucked up kid, who never quite fit in
Sense of accomplishment, will never mean a thing
'Cause I feel caged in, I know that I'll never win
With all these problems, I'll never be anything
But that fucked up kid, who never quite fit in
Sense of accomplishment, will never mean a thing
'Cause I feel caged in, I know that I'll never win
'Cause I feel caged in, I'll never be anything
'Cause I feel caged in, I know that I'll never win
'Cause I feel caged in, I'll never be anything

Hold on, let's look at things from my perspective
Losing sight of my objective
As I'm falling to the sidelines
Hold up, before I trip all over my words
You are not the reason I hurt
So here's a little insight
Let's just back things up
(Just a little bit)
Don't dare jump ahead
(No conclusions here)
Don't say a single word
'less I say
I think I've lost my way
Only myself to blame
Not saying you owe
Me anything
Please don't take it that way
Don't know what to call home
Left to endlessly roam
Not calling you out or anything
Unless you take it that way
Think back, on every endless empty reason
Everything was said to please and
Simply keep things at bay
But truth hurts, and no longer could I take this
Grit my teeth into a smile
Every day that I would fake it
Let's just back things up
(Just a little bit)
Don't dare jump ahead
(No conclusions here)
Don't say a single word
'less I say
I think I've lost my way
Only myself to blame
Not saying you owe
Me anything
Please don't take it that way
Don't know what to call home
Left to endlessly roam
Not calling you out or anything
Unless you take it that way
I think I've lost my way
Only myself to blame
Not saying you owe
Me anything
Please don't take it that way
Don't know what to call home
Left to endlessly roam
Not calling you out or anything
Unless you take it that way
Unless you take it that way
I think I've lost my way
Only myself to blame
Not saying you owe
Me anything
Please don't take it that way
Don't know what to call home
Left to endlessly roam
Not calling you out or anything
Unless you take it that way
Unless you take it that way
Unless you take it that way
Unless you take it that way

Woah, woah, is this everything you wanted?
Woah, woah, is this everything you wanted?
Seemed like any other, casual fling
Never put much thought to it, just how damaging
Regardless of just how confidential, we made it seem
Guess hush-hush don't mean much, not a damn thing
Leave it up to me to be making these bad decisions
Leave it up to me to be caught in these situations
Leave it up to me, I'll try to rid all correlation
I'm just a bad guy, and here's my declaration
'cause I've, kept, you on the side
But you've, got, me by the throat
I never thought that it would turn into this
But I guess that's just what happens when it's more than a kiss, woah
Woah, woah, is this everything you wanted?
Woah, woah, is this everything you wanted?
Thought we had agreed on, not saying anything
We said we'd shut our mouths, keep word from slipping
Now you've got me held like a hostage, my social stance
Against my will is held in your hands
Leave it up to me to be making these bad decisions
Leave it up to me to be caught in these situations
Leave it up to me, I'll try to rid all correlation
I'm just a bad guy, and here's my declaration
'cause I've, kept, you on the side
But you've, got, me by the throat
I never thought that it would turn into this
But I guess that's just what happens when it's more than a kiss, woah
'cause I've, kept, you on the side
But you've, got, me by the throat
I never thought that it would turn into this
But I guess that's just what happens when it's more than a kiss, woah
Woah, woah, is this everything you wanted?
Woah, woah, is this everything you wanted?

Backlots And Alleyways

So vividly I could recall
The orange glow from the overpass
Recount the nights we spent, broken hearted, empty wallets
How so abysmal yet picturesque
Dreading the thoughts that these, memories will someday fade
Bittersweet to wallow in daydreams of how it could have been
Now, that I come to think of it, I wouldn't change these
Summer nights through backlots and alleyways
Watching cars drive by like shooting stars along the freeway
With shattered bottles at our feet, we were kids but felt like kings
And our dominion were these streets
There's nothing I wouldn't do to feel that way again
And I wouldn't change a thing
These Summer nights serve as reminder of
Everything that I used to be
Unafraid and careless, just chasing after dreams
Big ideas, so full of self belief
But now I'm torn in two, being dragged alive in memory of things that never came
Or simply settle down with what I've got, what life has given
No way is that a life for me,'cause I'll always be
Summer nights through backlots and alleyways
Watching cars drive by like shooting stars along the freeway
With shattered bottles at our feet, we were kids but felt like kings
And our dominion were these streets
There's nothing I wouldn't do to feel that way again
And I wouldn't change a thing
Summer nights through backlots and alleyways
Watching cars drive by like shooting stars along the freeway
With shattered bottles at our feet, we were kids but felt like kings
And our dominion were these streets
There's nothing I wouldn't do to feel that way again
And I wouldn't change a thing

Breaking Down
05:10

So tell me why I've seen this before
I thought I knew you
I played your games and lost it all
Was it all my own fault
So here I am trying to stand again
Spending these nights all alone
(Broken down)
Reminds me of the nights I spent loving you and not myself
(By myself)
Maybe I should just give up
(Take me back)
Maybe then I'll find myself
Explain to me why I need to hear this story from you
I'll make no mistake, it was your disguise
Always shrouded in lies
So here I am through thick and thin
Spending these nights all alone
(Broken down)
Reminds me of the nights I spent loving you and not myself
(By myself)
Maybe I should just give up
(Take me back)
Maybe then I'll find myself
Should I lock myself away?
Should I throw away the key?
Should I block out everything and anyone who ever tried to save me from myself
I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
And there is nothing sweet to reminisce
You knew damn well it'd come to this and now
I'm breaking down, I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
Spending these nights all alone
(Broken down)
Reminds me of the nights I spent loving you and not myself
(By myself)
Maybe I should just give up
(Take me back)
Maybe then I'll find myself

Sick

The face in the mirror is not who't should be
These voices so silent, they're shouting at me
Hold me down, choke me out, suffocate me again
Remind me I'm rotten until just 'bout when
All that is left is the shell of myself
Hollowed out from the inside once more and again
I will beg, I will scream, when left with myself
There's no fix, Oh my God, I am sick
As pale as a ghost, at least what's left of me
With teeth down my throat, and my bones falling weak
It's one body, two souls, never me that'll win
Bruise me and batter, I always submit when
I am sick of everything
So fed up with feeling this way
So pent up with rage, I am going insane
My own finger is pointed at me
All that is left is the shell of myself
Hollowed out from the inside once more and again
I will beg, I will scream, when left with myself
There's no fix, Oh my God, I am sick

It's been a while since I've last felt myself
In my mind, it is I;
This lacklust desire that's confined me away in this cell
Now, I'm nothing but an empty shell
Thrown aside, it's this rotten mind of mine
That keeps me screaming every night, 'cause
You say that, all things change but,
I'm insecure, don't know what for,
I am falling apart, all on the floor mangled
You say that, all things change
Get up, get up
Now what are you waiting for?
C'mon, c'mon
You know it's worth fighting for
Never let your demons get the best of you
Get up, get up
Now what are you waiting for?
C'mon, c'mon
You know it's worth fighting for
Never let your demons get the best of you
I've never been strong in my faiths, see
I've never been one to hold beliefs,
I've never been one to try, despite hard facts
Are the only thing I've ever laid my faith to
And frankly now it seems, all these reasons all contribute
To the never ending signs, all pointing in my mind, now they're all asking me why, 'cause
You say that, all things change but,
I'm insecure, don't know what for,
I am falling apart, all on the floor mangled
You say that, all things change
Get up, get up
Now what are you waiting for?
C'mon, c'mon
You know it's worth fighting for
Never let your demons get the best of you
Get up, get up
Now what are you waiting for?
C'mon, c'mon
You know it's worth fighting for
Never let your demons get the best of you
I'm running circles again, they reverberate in my head
Same old questions never seem to change
Anxiety and fear take center stage
'cause my time's on fast forward, my life's on rewind
And the truth of the matter's, the fault is but mine
And lately, I just haven't quite been feeling myself
And I'm getting sick of lying when I say that I'm well
The truth is I feel awful in case you couldn't tell,
At this point, at this point, (this place looks far worse than hell)
And lately, I just haven't quite been feeling myself
And I'm getting sick of lying when I say that I'm well
The truth is I feel awful in case you couldn't tell,
At this point, at this point, (this place looks far worse than hell)
Get up, get up
Now what are you waiting for?
C'mon, c'mon
You know it's worth fighting for
Never let your demons get the best of you
Get up, get up
Now what are you waiting for?
C'mon, c'mon
You know it's worth fighting for
Never let your demons get the best of you
I'll pick myself up off the ground
I'll keep my head up, and won't look down
I'll keep my eyes straight, I'll keep eyes my set dead ahead
You'll hear my voice, clear, crisp and loud
It's myself I've finally found
I'll keep these eyes straight, I'll keep my eyes set dead ahead
Mind, my soul and everything that drives me towards this age old goal
Hoping that someday I'll know when I grow old
I'll look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment
But these nights I find, myself pondering on why I even try
Eyes fixated on that age old prize
To look back on a fulfilled life with a sense of accomplishment

Knife
01:06

I've been walking with this knife
Lodged deep within the notches of my spine
Going on with life and feeling asinine
Too foolish to extract that
Pain that's in my back and shoulders
That can't hold the weight of worlds
But I try to hide the splits and fractures
That pry under my skin
Tearing flesh right off of bone
But once again that fault's my own
The fault's my own

My stomach's in ropes
My heart is pounding through my chest
I hit the road
And go where ever it fucking goes
I've had my heart, stuck in my own god damn throat
Since the very fucking moment that I ever let this go
I hope you know, the only substitute I have for you
Are these winding roads of pavement to the places we would go
All before I, let this go I, hope you know
These steps, retraced
To all the places we would be
Ghost of your face
You're the only thing I see
I've had my heart, stuck in my own god damn throat
Since the very fucking moment that I ever let this go
I hope you know, the only substitute I have for you
Are these winding roads of pavement to the places we would go
All before I, let this go I, hope you know
I've never been one for sentimentals
But it's all I've left of you
A silver coin, an etched out carving
Always with me, Always with you
With you
With you
I've had my heart, stuck in my own god damn throat
Since the very fucking moment that I ever let this go
I hope you know, the only substitute I have for you
Are these winding roads of pavement to the places we would go
All before I, let this go I, hope you know
I've had my heart, stuck in my own god damn throat
Since the very fucking moment that I ever let this go
I hope you know, the only substitute I have for you
Are these winding roads of pavement to the places we would go
All before I, let this go I, hope you know
All before I, let this go I
Hope you realize that I just wish that I
Never said goodbye, forever regret I
Never will I, no never will I
Ever let this die, no never let this die
Never let this die, no never let this die
