It's time to stop pretending that things are alright.
Everything's fine.
We live our lives built on foundations of lies
Sedated and ruined our minds.
Don't ask any questions, just fall back in line.
I can't find the meaning in any of this, this life i live.
I'm born to die. It's all that I have.
Give me a reason to be who I am.
I'm sick of living for someone else
I felt my world fall apart underneath my feet, but I'll be fine.
Don't ask any questions just fall back in line

Dead End

This is not a cry for your attention, so save your fucking pity.
There's not a single thing that you can say that could save me.
Made to believe that we're special when we're not, just pawns in a game that we've already lost.
Disconnected and misdirected, full speed ahead in the wrong direction.
There's no way to put a stop to this.
Disconnected and misdirected, full speed ahead in the wrong direction.
There's no stopping this now.
There's no stopping us now
I'll save you the trouble, turn this all on myself.
Paint the walls with the thoughts I should have left on the shelf.
Not a single tear will fall on the day that I die.
Mark the grave "Here lies a fucking waste of life."
Not a single tear will fall on the day that I die, a fitting end to a selfish life.
Not a single tear will fall on the day that I die.
Mark the grave "Here lies a fucking waste of life."
Different roads to the same dead end, anchored down by dead end friends.
Disconnected and misdirected, full speed ahead in the wrong direction.
I'll keep playing into the system of lies and greed and deceit.
I can't see whats laid in front of me.
I'll keep playing into the system of lies and greed and deceit.
That's exactly how they want me to be.
The truth is I'm a coward.
I want the easy way out.
I want the easy way out
Give me the easy way out
I'm a fucking coward.
Give me the easy way out
I'm a fucking coward.
I don't deserve a way out.

I need a new start.
These worn out faces hold no place in my heart.
I've never been so ashamed of who I am or what I've done, or the person I've become.
If you need me, you can find me with these words caught in my throat.
If I spit them out I'll break the silence.
I think I'd rather choke.
I'm just an angry kid with too much to lose, and not enough to say.
I'll never understand what you saw in me.
What happens when I die?
Will I see the light?
Is darkness all that I'll find?
I don't know and frankly couldn't care.
There's no god in the sky to fucking answer my prayers, so fucking answer my prayers.
I'm just an angry kid with too much to lose, and not enough to say.
I'll never understand what you saw in me.
It's hard to look at the bright side when I haven't seen the sun in days.
I'm searching for the color in a world that's shades of gray.
Detachment defines me.
This body confines me.
There is no other escape that I can see.
The light at the end of the tunnel, so bright that it blinds me.
I've searched and never found any way to fucking cope.
I'll die the way I lived, at the end of my fucking rope.
I'm at the end of my rope.

Pocket Change

Welcome to the end of days, a world where all our hope is frayed.
At every corner, nothing to hold on.
We cling to our mistakes.
Poisons flood our minds, glamorizing suicide.
I fear we've lost control.
This nightmare's all we've ever known.
Another name, another number.
Another year with nothing to show for it.
Another day, another dollar.
Pocket change, and I can't change a thing.
Desensitized, demoralized.
Thoughts they planted behind our eyes.
Sprouting serpents in our mouths waiting to get out.
Send one last goodbye to the dreams that long since died.
They're rotting in the ground.
May they rest in peace.
All that I am is dollars and cents, change in the pockets of faceless men.
Their voices deafening, saying I cant change a thing.

Make me one with the pavement.
A black mark, a scar on the world you created.
I never wanted to see this dream fall apart and fade away.
There's nothing left for me.
This is the moment when I realize I'm alone in a crowded room.
I look around at the sea of faces surrounding me.
I'm drowning in hatred.
Your selfishness, your arrogance leaves you blind to the consequences.
Can't you see that your'e destroying everything that we have built?
Bury me beneath your feet in an endless race for fortune and fame.
I want no part in this disgusting ignorance.
This is art, not fucking fashion.
You make me fucking sick.
You are the anchor to my feet and the darkness on my path.
I want no part in this.
Make me one with the pavement.
A black mark, a scar on the world you created.
I never wanted to see this dream fall apart and fade away.
There's nothing left for me.

I've laid awake so many nights wondering why we've crossed this worn out line so many times.
I need a reason.
Give me a reason to put my faith in you.
If you need me you can find me wedged uncomfortably between your heavy heart and the walls of your bedroom.
I should hate you for everything but I don't have the heart to let you fall so far.
I'm too tired and impatient to spend more time waiting for you to find the answers you've been seeking the whole time.
I was never what you needed, just words on the back of a photograph I'm keeping.
A simple song, a picture on your wall.
You're breaking me, but I'm still here to break your fall.
I wouldn't have to write these songs about you if I had someone else to talk to, to get these thoughts out of my mind.
I'm doing fine, at least I'd like to think that way.
But every night I lie awake in bed just trying to forget your face.
I've become one with the walls of your bedroom.
I lost a piece of myself in the sheets you wrap yourself into.
I've told the same lies so many times, I've even got myself fooled.
I would give anything if I could just forget your name, but I still cling to every single fucking word you say.
I'm living in your shadow in the first place, so torch the fucking bridge and take me down with it
I can't run from my mistakes, but I've never had the strength to close the space between who I am and who I want to be.
It feels like spring never ended, but autumn's in the air.
I'm another year older with nothing to show for it.
Now I'm standing in the rain trying to hold back all the words I never got the chance to say.
Promise me you'll always be the same, and that things will never change.
Promise me you'll always be the same.
