Breathe into me
Something out-of-body
Something I cannot explain
Place hands on me
If only for a moment would you let this bother
Let this bother me
I can't feel you
Are you still with me?
I've got your promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep
I know you might be out of reach
But, I'll keep trying trying
I've got a lot of haunting questions at the end of the day
I don't believe that you believe in your fantasy
Tell yourself the things you're needing to fall asleep
I'll stay up deconstructing everything
I'm still waiting
Stuck in the same place again
It's better than losing
Better than losing another friend
I'm sick of waiting (waiting)
Waiting to make good sense of this
Attaching a meaning to grieving, believing
Believing we're part of a plan
I've got your promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep
I know you might be out of reach
But, I'll keep trying trying
I've got a lot of haunting questions at the end of the day
I don't believe that you believe in your fantasy
Tell yourself the things you're needing to fall asleep
I'll stay up deconstructing everything
I've got a lot of haunting questions at the end of the day
I don't believe that you in anything you say
Tell yourself the things you're needing to fall asleep
I'll stay up deconstructing everything
I'll stay up deconstructing everything

Whatever Keeps You

It's not getting better and these days all feel the same
I'll try your medication, if it takes the pain away
Blame, I'm stuck in the middle
Of feeling manic and feeling sane
Taking pills from an orange bottle
Watch my color fade away
I can only blame myself when it comes to my mental health
You try to take the pain away, but all I feel is grey
Every time that I reach out the words dry up in my mouth
You try to take my pain away, but all I feel is grey
Watch it fade away
Watch me fade away
It just goes away
It's not the change in the weather that's making my hands shake
It's the monster in my bedroom that's keeping me awake
I reached the bottom of the bottle
Heading down that road again
I'm losing self control
Start the problems again
I can only blame myself when it comes to my mental health
You try to take the pain away, but all I feel is grey
Every time that I reach out the words dry up in my mouth
You try to take my pain away, but all I feel is grey
Watch it fade away
Watch me fade away
It just goes away

What Holds Us Together
03:56

We lost our purpose in the way it all began
Asking divisive questions of all our innocence
Rewrite the meaning of the way we coexist
Laying the foundation for the point you might have missed
I can’t blame him
For the state we’re in
I hate to say it but we were never heaven sent
If all we are, are anomalies in forms of matter
Tell me this, what is it that still holds us together?
Faith is a picture we paint until the faces distort and the colors bleed
to what we never believed
We sit and wonder where is God in all of this
But, he’s been denied three times and I wouldn’t come back if I were him
I can’t blame him
For the state we’re in
I hate to say it but we were never innocent
If all we are, are anomalies in forms of matter
Tell me this, what is it that hold us together?
Faith is a picture we paint until the faces distort and the colors bleed to what we never believed
Faith is a picture we paint when we need to
Faith is a picture we made in the bedroom
If all we are, are anomalies in forms of matter
Tell me this, what is it that hold us together?
Faith is a picture we paint until the faces distort and the colors bleed to what we never believed

In Hopes That You Forget

Oh my God
I can't be doing this again
Already know how this will end
No, it's not just that I don't fit in
It's every time I feel alone and there's no coming out of it
I don't know what I believe in and some days I feel like I should quit
If nothing matters in the end, why should I waste my time on it
My mouth likes to move faster than my brain
It's always a race to say what I'm never really meaning to say
An easy target with a thin skin, a light switch in my head
Flips on and off replaying situations I hope that you forget
You want to see me free
Then come and save me
Because I'm tired of waiting
On something I cannot see
I don't know what I believe in and some days I feel like I should quit
If nothing matters in the end, why should I waste my time on it
I never used to be like this
Colors drained from the world I'm in
Why am I expected to fit in
Out of place in the room again
My twisted tongue without a purpose
Sometimes it's best to just stay quiet
Try to keep my foot out of my mouth
Try to keep regret from spilling out
From spilling out
I don't know what I believe in and some days I feel like I should quit
If nothing matters in the end, why should I waste my time on it
I never used to be like this
Colors drained from the world I'm in
Why am I expected to fit in
Out of place in the room again

Call me a crutch
Something to lean when you can't feel touch
Yeah, scream at me
Do whatever you need
To feel, to feel free
I can't help but think
When we are alone and afraid to fall asleep
Let's open our eyes and lay still through the night
Let the darker things creep in
Here's hoping at least we can sleep through the night
Call it a hunch
But, I can feel the hate in your words and they're breathing out your lungs
Yeah, scream at me
Make my ears bleed
If it makes you feel free
I can't help but think
When we are alone and afraid to fall asleep
Let's open our eyes and lay still through the night
Let the darker things creep in
(There's fear in her voice, fear in her eyes)
Here's hoping at least we can sleep through the night
Let's open our eyes and lay still through the night
Let the darker things creep in
This is not the bed I was sleeping in
Here's hoping at least we can sleep through the night
Let's open our eyes and lay still through the night
Let the darker things creep in
(There's fear in her voice, fear in her eyes)
Here's hoping at least we can sleep through the night

Pack up your boxes and head east
Exactly like you wanted
When we were kids you had a plan
To get far from Texas
Now you stay at home and you're all alone
Say you do it for your children
Act like your happy, say it isn't about me
And He's everything you wanted
I know what you said is not what you meant
I wonder if now that you'll regret
Letting him get inside your head
We both want the same things, but we have different tastes
We both want the same things, but we have different tastes
It's hard to keep myself composed at times like this
Keep me out of sight and out of mind
But, you still won't feel any better
Take another shot at me
Hide the words behind your pretty teeth
The ones you really want to scream
When you said "I'm with Clark now"
Now you stay at home and you're all alone
Say you do it for your children
Act like your happy, say it isn't about me
And He's everything you wanted
We both want the same things, but we have different tastes
We both want the same things, but we have different tastes
It's hard to keep myself composed at times like this
Keep me out of sight and out of mind
But, you still won't feel any better
It's hard to keep myself composed at times like this
Keep me out of sight and out of mind
But, you still won't feel any better
By now I hope you've found a way
(But you still won't feel any better)
To make your peace with all the words you didn't say
By now I hope you've found a way
(But you still won't feel any better)
To make your peace with all the words that you can't say

I won't talk if you don't talk
Who can speak at a time like this?
Filled with grief and restlessness
Don't tell me how to react
After I heard I've lost a friend
There's no right way to deal with this
Two lovers lay
Side by side and face to face
One last embrace
Is this really happening?
I can't forget the day George called and told me what happened
My voice grew weak, my knees hit the floor
When I felt your presence leave
I could tell you, but you wouldn't believe me
I saw her face in the popcorn ceiling
I was breathing out her name
After I swore that no one hurt me when I prayed
We want so badly to believe that loss
Is worth all of the memories
I'll keep you close enough to me
With roots sewn deeply
Forever still a part of me
When we die they say we'll be with God
Turn to smoke and float above
Is it just a story we tell ourselves
To keep our demons tightly bound
When we die they say we'll be with God
Turn to smoke and float above
Is it just a story we tell ourselves
To keep our demons tightly bound
We want so badly to believe that loss
Is worth all of the memories
I'll keep you close enough to me
With roots sewn deeply
Forever still a part of me
A part of me
I won't talk if you don't talk
Who can speak at a time like this?
Filled with grief and restlessness (restlessness)
I won't talk if you don't talk
I don't know who speaks at a time like this
Filled with grief and restlessness
When I get drunk I start to think about God
Why we're all here and how we all fucked it up
Such a fragile life we lead
When I'm with God I like to think about you
Where you are now and what happened to you
What a fucked up place you left
