Just say something and mean it
Don't say that you were surprised
All I hear is misleading
And you can't even apologize
With my back up against the wall
It gets worse before it gets better
I might drown before I fall
I'm not the first or the last
To bring this up but I feel like
We keep getting into the same fights
But at the same time, we're doing fine
We wish for more than we could ever handle
Just look at how we're burning out the candles
That we lit one day to symbolize being honest
Without even thinking 'bout the healing process
I'm older now than we were before
I guess I fell through the right hole
But I took my chances and changed my life
With my back up against the wall
It gets worse before it gets better
I might drown before I fall
I'm not the first or the last
To bring this up but I feel like
We keep getting into the same fights
But at the same time, we're doing fine
We wish for more than we could ever handle
Just look at how we're burning out the candles
That we lit one day to symbolize being honest
Without even thinking 'bout the healing process
I was born a summer kid but summers never last

How many times do I have to tell you
You're never going to wake up
Feeling happier than you make yourself
And no one's going to judge you
By the looks you can't hold back
You're all filled up with pride
And the things you're trying to hide
But in rear-view I see the real you
Don't pretend
That everything around you
Is falling apart
Bury all the lies
And don't forget to smile
These are the days we should look forward to
And make up for lost time
We've come a long way since our dark days
But that doesn't mean we've become naive
We're living each day as it is
Making promises we can keep
And trying not to look back
Among friends we stay away from regret
We've got dirt in our eyes
But not because we've cried
We've just slept very well

Every once in a while
We do our best to fulfill our dreams
And every once in a while
We fail to pursue the things that are real
Even though times have changed
We easily fall into patterns from our past
We won’t forget how things were
But it will surely put us back
This time it's all for us
We rise above what's done
Getting our hopes back from those
Who didn't think that we would make it
Sometimes we fall behind
But we get back on our feet as we're holding the ground
Our hearts belong where the railroad changes tracks
Forever is contagious so open your eyes, this is how we survive
This time it's all for us
We rise above what's done
Getting our hopes back from those
Who betrayed us
‘Cause we know, this is life
This is where we live and die
Among family, friends and haters
Believers and so called saviors
Everyday same mistake
Putting ourselves in situations where
Everything is black or white
While the gray keeps heading for the light

Here I am, on my way
To the other side
No one gave me any directions
But I'm sure I'll get there
Without any help
From anyone
I was a punching bag
Now I'm a loaded gun
Forever and ever
Don't waste my precious time
You know I'm never gonna change
Don't make me regret what made me come this far
Painted walls and wooden floors
Are there to make us feel like home
To take for granted and guarantee
That life is what it's supposed to be
Forever and ever

Third Time's The Harm

Lying awake late at night
Thinking about how things will turn out
If it's ever going to be like back when time was on our side
And we got nothing to hide
Feelings take over and we can't settle down
Even if we tried
I heard you the first time
This house doesn't make a home
But I've been living off this dream for so long
Wake up from your recent state
'Cause I just can't take it
Makes me go insane
Our problems won't go away today
But next thing you know
You'll be right back on your feet
There's no point in trading heads for tails
I'm just a guy trying to balance the scales
Your recent reactions to recent events
Are clearly getting out of hand
Wake up from your recent state
'Cause I just can't take it
Makes me go insane
Our problems won't go away today
But next thing you know
You'll be right back on your feet
I was thinking about the last time I felt your embrace
The twisting and turning made me feel like things were out of place
I heard you the first time
This house doesn't make a home
But I've been living off this goddamn dream for so fucking long

You can't lose if you don't play
Says the man who's scared to look around
But not everyone sees it that way
It's the ignorance that puts us back
No one ever writes letters anymore
But there's still a world outside your door
Life is what happens while you're waiting for moments that never come
Life is what happens while you're holding onto things you're running from
Are you anxious about how things will turn out
Or do you sleep well at night
The common dream is to walk away
From every choice you'll have to make
Every patch of ice you touch goes crystal
And even if your feet are going numb
You're feeling alive and that is the one thing
That helps remembering where you're from
But the bigger the lie, the more they believe
Crawl, walk, run
Life is what happens while you're waiting for moments that never come
Life is what happens while you're holding onto things you're running from
Give it all you've got and don't forget
That the time you spend wondering what lies ahead
Takes away everything you've built up for yourself
Life is what happens while you're waiting for moments that never come
And it has only begun
Give it all you've got and don't forget
That the time you spend wondering what lies ahead
Takes away everything you've built up for yourself
Life is what happens

I know it's hard to think there's something out there we don't know
Nothing spiritual, just knowledge yet to grow
But there are more important things to worry about
Now since tables have been turned
I'd step closer to the fire
But I'm afraid I'll get burned
Look up, I'm falling
Into oblivion
Trade up and realize
How much is at stake tonight
Even though the colors seem to fade
I'm prepared to fall on your grenade
I wasn't fascinated by pigeons
But I fell in love with hawks
I still believe in survival
Maybe just not for us all
Look up, I'm falling
Into oblivion
Trade up and realize
How much is at stake tonight
I never want to be too good at anything
Because that would mean the risk of something permanent
I choose satisfaction over success
All social change comes from the passion of individuals
The more we do the more we regret
But the less we fight the less we forget
For how long can we go on without being honest?
For how long can we fool ourselves with pretended happiness?
So much for foundation

Everything Changes

Pinpointing every word I say
Taking everything so serious
You still think that laughing is okay
Making fun of anyone who calls you their friend
Assuming your ideas are great
And other trails of thought are there to twist and turn
Believing no one knows the way
Repeating yourself, taking everything for granted
What if the world turns around
To leave you without answers
Without the confidence you hold so dear
Remember this
Take this warning and try to think ahead
'Cause everything changes
I know that this is what it takes
To stand out in a crowd and feel accepted
But what's it worth when the sympathy fades
And no one no longer cares about your scandalous ways
What if the world turns around
To leave you without answers
Without the confidence you hold so dear
Remember this
Take this warning and try to think ahead
'Cause everything changes
We are all burned out
And we are all trying to find a way back home
But this doesn't mean
That we can't be ourselves and change tracks as we go

Things get easier with time
Somehow I turned out all right
Still I see your face in dreams
Smiling at me
So I close my eyes
And repeat this to myself
Pick your fights
No one's gonna
Take your time
Or pull you under
Fade your frown
Think of all the
Things you've done
To make your life a
Better one
There's so much you could do to make this go away
But it's easier to complain
Reality is unkind
But I think I found my way
Dragged through dirt
Without being left behind
Now that I'm back on my feet
Here's a little thing I wrote for you
I must be blind
Not to see how I've been treated
Barely touched the surface
Never looked beneath it
This is what you give me for being honest
This is what I get from you
No sleep, no friends, no nothing
Everything that I am is up for assumption
Go ahead, take all that I own
Let's see what matters, let's see who walks alone

A new day but the story is the same
You clear your head just to stay a head of the game
To get some perspective on the things that matter
You dream about it but it never happens
Part ways with old patterns
Start living out the new
And focus on what's real
Stop wasting time
You gotta stand up tall
And get on with your life
There is no easy way
To break out of a cage
Don't get left behind
Stop wasting time
You gotta stand up tall
And get on with your life
Footprints fade in a different way
Than how they usually say
No matter how far you go
The scars will always show
You'll have to make it on your own
Take a deep breath
Inhale the change to come
Part ways with old patterns
Start living out the new
And focus on what's real
Stop wasting time
You gotta stand up tall
And get on with your life
There is no easy way
To break out of a cage
Don't get left behind
Stop wasting time
You gotta stand up tall
And get on with your life
Stop wasting time
Before you change your mind
All hope is gone
It’s time to wake up

Bowl Of Goodbyes

I'm opening my window
To breath in the fresh air
How did it all come to this
And as I'm walking out the front door
I'm leaving every song behind
That reminds me of you
Getting over
Is never the same thing as giving in
When the lights go out
I imagine myself reinventing the light bulb
To cast the shadows further away
And with all my heart
I wish you would do the same
I prefer to read
'Cause books don't run on batteries
But it requires a flashlight
When you're alone in the dark
The songs we fall asleep to
Are always the ones with strangest names
You say; "What's the point in taking chances?"
But I'm rather sorry than safe
I imagine myself reinventing the light bulb
To cast the shadows further away
And with all my heart
I wish you would do the same
Here is where we all say goodbye to old habits
Here is where we all say whoa oh
