It took me 21 years to realize I’ve Never seen the west coast So now I’m leaving behind The ones I love the most Cause when your understanding of The world is limited to the Places that you’ve been You gotta pack your shit and go And regret nothing I’m sorry babe but this is the Way it has to be Don’t bother waiting around for me I lost my chance with the girl who means More to me than anything For the chance to drive our Cars across the country And as we drove to the edge of the City in my head I saw taillights glowing red Cause I needed to find myself But not in the shadow of anybody else It won’t happen again I found my heart out west in San Francisco And we got blown away in Chicago But it breathed life into my lungs And I lost my fucking mind On the long drive through the mid west These hours worth of nothing brought my Thoughts back to you And now we’re driving down these streets at midnight Singing all your favorite song I knew you’d rule my subconscious before Too long. I lost my chance with the girl who means More to me than anything For the chance to drive our Cars across the country And as we drove to the edge of the City in my head I saw taillights glowing red Cause I needed to find myself But not in the shadow of anybody else It won’t happen again I found a different part of me in Every state line across the country. I took my insecurities and Set them to sea I buried the thought of you and me At the farthest shore at the depths of the ocean floor I cut ties to the anchor and set myself free I found a different part of me in Every state line across the country. I took my insecurities and Set them to sea I buried the thought of you and me At the farthest shore at the depths of the ocean floor I cut ties to the anchor and set myself free I set myself free I set myself free I set myself free

I’ve been wading through this sea of gray For over 3 years now And the only place it’s got me Is in over my head with their constant judgment Cause I know that My yearly figures are a joke to them So I figure That I’m just no good for nothing It’s a perfect storm of self-satisfaction They’re breaking at my walls and They dare me to follow their tradition But the life I lead, It leads no room For the stupid bullshit that they buy into Cause even though we don’t have a thing We live like fucking kings We weren’t meant for greatness But we ride alongside some of the greatest We’re the kings of mediocrity So don’t tell me what I’m worth Like I’m just some fucking sales report Cause no man, you won’t Break me down so easily Cause I’m not concerned with you dollar signs Or meeting times, you see My pockets may be empty But I feel complete Cause I refuse to break my neck And waste away for a goddamn paycheck So you can take what you want from me But you’ll never take my dignity It’s a perfect storm of self-satisfaction They’re breaking at my walls and They dare me to follow their tradition But the life I lead, It leads no room For the stupid bullshit that they buy into Cause even though we don’t have a thing We live like fucking kings We know what we’re fighting for And it’s something that’s worth dying for We know what we’re fighting for And it’s something that’s worth dying for We know what we’re fighting for And it’s something that’s worth dying for We know what we’re fighting for And it’s something that’s worth dying for Cause even though we don’t have a thing We live like fucking kings

I’m floating through the emptiness of space I’m trapped inside these airwaves You left me here You did this to me I should have been more apprehensive When I let you in With your record of breaking hearts I should have seen this coming This is the end of the road This is the end of the road This is the end of the road And I, I got nowhere to go So hold, the picture’s falling And crashing down like the Waves on the ocean floor Cause this is the end of the road And I, I got nowhere to go. And lately I’ve been staring At the tops of trees But through the branches and the leaves I found nothing worth seeing I hope you find what you’ve been looking for And I hope it buries you I hope he buries you alive Cause you looked me in the eyes And filled my head with 4 letter lies This is the end of the road This is the end of the road This is the end of the road And I, I got nowhere to go So hold, the picture’s falling And crashing down like the Waves on the ocean floor Cause this is the end of the road And I, I got nowhere to go. I’m tearing pages out of books I wish I never read Cause I need you like a hole in my fucking head This is the end of the road This is the end of the road This is the end of the road And I, I got nowhere to go So hold, the picture’s falling And crashing down like the Waves on the ocean floor Cause this is the end of the road And I, I got nowhere to go.

I found myself in and out of hospital beds (I felt the world give way beneath my feet I’m falling through the void underneath me) And in and out of my own head (If I could find the strength to fill my lungs, I’d scream to the heavens to wake me up She told me everything would be all right I tried to find the truth in her lies She sighed, “Were it not for you This would all mean so much more” Her words, like mine, Have little significance in this place. I stared deep into the hems This galaxy’s too small to contain us I raised my hands to stop the sunlight Oh, what futile attempts! I raised my hands to stop the sunlight Cause what are we to do with these Weapons of destruction Without the proper instruction I tried like hell to stop the sunlight I tried like hell to make this alright She sighed, “Were it not for you This would all mean so much more” Her words, like mine, Have little significance in this place. I can’t wake myself from this dream, From this dream So nightmare bear your fucking teeth And give me a reason to scream.

(You have a choice; To live or die Every breath is a choice And every moment is a choice To be or not to be To be or not to be To be or not to be That is the question) If I would have known That decemeber would be so cold I would have stayed in bed and Never let you go But now I’m lying on the bathroom floor As the steam surrounds me Writing you a message in my mirror For when they find me But then I looked into my eyes And I swear I saw for the first time (but then I looked into my eyes) A reason to keep breathing Or something to believe in (A reason to just breathe) I’ve been staring at the sun It burned an image in my brain But now that it’s setting on me I can’t see a fucking thing I’ll take the best and settle down Forget the rest and turn my life around I’ve got these things that keep me breathing But everything is fleeting Two months and 20 pounds ago I felt okay But you reduced me to skin and bones In the matter of days I gave you everything and you Slit my throat to watch my veins run dry But my heart still beats for you and will Continue to until the day I die But I just wanted you to know Yeah I needed you to know The fault is mine, and mine alone I’ve been staring at the sun It burned an image in my brain But now that it’s setting on me I can’t see a fucking thing I’ll take the best and settle down Forget the rest and turn my life around I’ve got these things that keep me breathing But everything is fleeting But everything is fleeting But everything is fleeting But everything is fleeting But everything is fleeting I’ll take the best and settle down Forget the rest and turn my life around I’ve got these things that keep me breathing But everything is fleeting I’ll take the best and settle down (But everything is fleeting) Forget the rest and turn my life around (Everything is fleeting) I’ll take the best and settle down (Everything is fleeting) Forget the rest and turn my life around Everything is fleeting.
