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.

This Is My Nightmare
03:22

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.
