they say someday "things will change,
And it will be perfectly okay."
But the only thing that has changed
Is that I can see through the haze.
Watch my friends
Fade to gray
These stale routines
Drain their lives away
Drain their lives away
Drain their lives away
And it's killing me to believe
That you're truly happy
With the choices you've made
The substances may dull the pain
But they will never wash them away
Overworkd
Underpaid
These stale routines
Drain their lives away
Drain their lives away
Drain their lives away
The seconds pass like hours
And these hours pass like days
What do you know about being afraid?
I woke up this morning at the end of my rope
Covered in vomit from head to toe
I can't keep living this way
Something has to change
So tell me please, Were you searching for contentment?
You came home empty handed with a feeling of resentment
Smoke and mirrors, it's just an illusion
The real world's a joke and that's my conclusion.

You say it's time for me to give in
And forgive and forget those awful things you did
You say it's time for me to grow up
To know my age and act it, bury the hatchet now
I've spent some time
These past few nights
Alone in my head with an ax to grind
Loosing my mind
Swallow my pride
But it just feels
Like I have been swallowing knives
I can't count
how many times you've let me down
I'm so sick of pretending
That I want you around
I've spent some time
These past few nights
Alone in my head with an ax to grind
Loosing my mind
Swallow my pride
But it just feels
Like I have been swallowing knives

Show me please some clarity behind all this
Show me all the answers, prove they exist
Teach me whats right by showing me whats wrong
Still learning from the wisdom in all these pissed off punk rock songs
They tell me you're in heaven, I really hope that's true
If i don't believe in heaven, then where the hell are you tonight
I need you i miss you tonight
I need you i miss you tonight
Pulling out my hair and clawing out my eyes
I'd give anything just to have you by my side
Cause i can't keep my head up straight on nights like these
Do you ever miss your kids and wife and family
They tell me you're in heaven, I really hope that's true
If i don't believe in heaven, then where the hell are you tonight
I need you i miss you tonight
I need you i miss you tonight
They tell me your in heaven and if that's true
Tell god it doesn't need you half as much as i do

If you find fate tell him I said, “Fuck HIM!”
In lessons he learned, he never learned stay.
A cheap one-liner, a steady drink, I wonder if it’s all I’ll ever be.
I chased this dream across a country.
I’ve offered up everything that I’ve always loved,
'Cause this whole thing was my bad idea to start.
“Don’t take this for granted,” my mother says to me.
“Treat it so sacred and guard it like belief.”
You can fake it for them but I’ll always know
'Cause I sit slighted on top of the world.
Take it from me, business or belief?
Take it from me, your business is to leave.

This isn’t good morning, this is gracious bad news.
I was calling to scar you with what I’m ‘bout to do.
'Cause you burned your sorrows and I burned mine too,
but you kept the ashes and now they’re keeping you.
What’s it like to be honest, honestly happy,
and say all the things that you know that you’re thinking?
What’s it like to be honest, honestly happy,
and say all the things that you know that you’re thinking?
I don’t need anyone or anything.
Between you and me is a distance that I bridge with sleep, so.
I’m cutting clearly and straight to your room,
Crawl in your bed to that windowless view.
‘Cause these blankets and sheets will bury me
if I let myself go to your fathers beliefs.
“You will always be the boy who stumbled in too soon,” she said.
“You will always be the boy that stumbled in too soon,” she said.
What’s it like to be honest, honestly happy,
and say all the things that you know that you’re thinking?
What’s it like to be honest, honestly happy?
I don’t need anyone or anything.
Between you and me is a distance that I bridge with sleep, so.
(Between you and me)
I want it so badly but I had to break
that promise I made for your front porch that day.
(Between you and me)
I spent last night talking secrets and graves,
the place that my promise has now wormed its way.
And your parents were on your front lawn screaming.
I’m the kid that’s keeping you lost and I could never be what you want.
I could never, I could never.
And your parents were on your front lawn screaming.
I’m the kid that’s keeping you lost and I could never be what you want.
I could never, I could never.
And your parents were on your front lawn screaming.
I’m the kid that’s keeping you lost and I could never be what you want.
I could never, I could never.
