So fill your lungs with emotion
You're just a kid and you're broken
Screaming that everything's unfair
You search for things left in last year
Watch as your life begins to fade
You will grow up
pretending you're are not afraid
That's not enough
As your skin grows hard
And your heart turns numb
You realize the man
That you have become
Now you're nothing
Searching for friends and the love that you're losing
Searching for something to keep you from moving
backwards

Been feeling like the weather last year
Lots of grey and anxious fear
Who am I to suggest things change?
I hope for sun but it always rains
Been feeling like the weather last year
Lots of grey and anxious fear
Look around at everything
the ship has sunk and so have we
Who am I to suggest things change?
It'll always fucking rain
Why do I wake up? Fuck this existing
Staring out windows that someone left open
I feel the breeze as it passes through the wall
Into the sheets and clothes that smell like you
I'm miserable
And I can't sleep
In this lonely bed
Sometimes it's just too much when I'm alone

I hate everyone that I know
Then I wonder “Where did my friends go?”
Fucking poor me
Always suffering
Everyone will let me down
one way or the other
One day I’ll be dead and gone
maybe then we’ll get along
I’m not holding my breath
I die holding my breath
What do I know?
I know nothing

I left my heart at home
Somewhere, I don’t know
Fed it to the lions
In some act of violence
I’m feeling vague and I can’t seem to concentrate
On things that matter most; I’m slipping into the unknown
I’m no more
I’m not around to hold your hand
We’re strangers, I’m sorry
The night turns into the day, the sun eludes me
I don’t think I’m supposed to be happy here
So I run away from this, from myself
I drift with the wind
The sound of swaying trees helps me to fall asleep.
The branches stop to ask: When are you coming back?
And I wake up and fucking spit in their face
Just because we're rooted doesn't mean we're in place
At night I drift away

All my sad songs have been used up
they’ve had enough of my heartsick, thrown-up bullshit
Em I need this

Salt stains on my shirt sleeves
From when you left Poor me
Our hearts
Beat at the same tone
for years
Now they beat alone
Breathe in
Pretend I'm okay
breath out
I am not okay
Move on
The motions are the same
Toothpaste kisses haunt my nightmares
When I wake up, why aren't you there?
There's a fucking hole in my chest
You're gone, I'm gone, there's nothing left
Feel the weeks turn into months, remember I loved you once?
Who I knew has turned to dust, blown away and broke my trust
I wave goodbye to that, I wave goodbye to us
Salt stains on my shirt sleeves
You left and I found a new me

I found the hands I needed
Last fall when I was defeated
By the ghosts of my former self
There's no god but I was in hell
Drifting from place to place
In search of somewhere safe
Skinny legs and wolf eyes
You are what saved my life
And gave purpose to the word survive
Promise we'll never sink
And I will never leave
To sulk on salt-stained sleeves
I'm done with the old me
And the monsters on the wall
I've moved on from the fall
Good vibes about that time
But now I've made you mine
I'm blowing kisses at the moon again
To signify that broken hearts can mend
Let's not forget the way it was back then
But remember there's still safety In the term best friends
Hold my hand and I'll hold yours

Ask me about the man that I've become, I'll let you in on secrets
I'm afraid of everything I've always said I'm not
The lion's throat that ate my heart Says courage is all we got
So I've kept my head high the best that I could
Eric, I've given all I have to give
It's your job to choose the will to live
That choice is harder the older you get
We've got nothing that we need to prove
Because we've got nothing left to lose
I trust you will be a better man
Than the one the one that I pretend to be
That choice is harder the older you get
Ask me about how I've cried out wolf howls
To moons that aren't there
And I am afraid of what I've become

Always leading losing battles with no meaning
I'll be the one to blame
When everyone I've loved forgets my name
Oh, I can write it down
But history decides who sticks around

If the sun finds its sleep in the seas to the west
Then it’s there in its waves I may find my rest
’til then keep eyes turned up at the moon
I’ll find my grave but not that soon
I’ll call upon thee
Fuck you
It’s not my time, it’s not my time
Fuck you
The sun is bright or so it shines
You didn’t mean to follow close
to shed my skin
to bury ghosts
You trusted the one that I love the most
