To think that I thought that I'd learned Apathy is nothing to burn It puts the fire out I put the fire out It's all in the calls that you make Which friends' advice you decide you should take That's what it's all about That's all it's all about And I speak to myself the most You would think I was a ghost And I lie alone in the shade And set fire to the mess that I made Don't you give up On me while I'm finding myself I was just trying Not to be somebody else And I hope that I'm not

Gloom 03:37
I was living in autopilot mode I could feel you losing grip I could see you letting go Like a stranger on the side of the road Didn't know where I was going I just knew I had to go Took some time to let the smoke clear And what felt like a minute It had almost been a year I'd take the wheel if I knew how to steer But I crash and I burn And we crash and we burn And I don't know why I just close my eyes Never see the truth Never leave this Gloom These walls will never come down So scratch your name in stone Carrying this kind of weight Is bound to break your bones Can't build a home with no foundation Guilty by disassociation And I don't know why I just close my eyes Never see the truth Never leave this Gloom

Ghost Ride 02:51
I've been down, I could drown In a sea of your love And still feel the same I've been lost, what's the cost If I told you how much Would the seasons change So I ghost ride 'hind the wheel You know I'm just trying to feel Anything else than the void Until the world stops turning around I've been tense, on the fence Somewhere between selfless And a hypocrite I've been kind, by design But deep down I still know That I'm full of shit So I ghost ride 'hind the wheel You know I'm just trying to feel Anything else than the void Until the world stops turning around

Been away so long I forgot what's wrong So don't remind me Of who I should be Been away so long I forgot what's wrong But I'm doing fine On this slow decline

The Big Hurt 04:04
Can't you see you've broke his heart He's lying on the floor Ears are ringing with the sound Of words you've said before How can love be so unkind How can it be so cold This'll sure be the last time He'll ever trust a soul And he curses you with words Though they will never be heard Just to try and ease the hurt For a minute Can't you see this hurts her Like it never has before Her love don't come easy It's a wooden padlocked door Try to do what's right But everything just seems so wrong She's making up her mind As she hums along to his farewell song And she says the sweetest words Though they will never be heard Just to try and ease the hurt For a minute She won't forget him
8.
Why's it have to be that way? Just a hole to fall in through If there's nothing I can change Then I've learned not to hold on to But I won't drown In these futile sounds Though I'd learned by now They're all futile sounds Living in this state of mind In a city of solitude There's a sickening sense of pride Congratulatory lies But I won't drown In these futile sounds Though I'd learned by now They're all futile sounds How long do you think this can go on? But I won't drown In these futile sounds No I won't drown In these futile sounds Though I'd learned by now They're all futile sounds

Maudlin 05:49
Gone again Always feel maudlin Saying sorry just a little too often Spilling words 'Til my vision's blurred Do it all again to the same old friends Stubborn down to the core When did empathy turn into a chore Stagnant sick and bored You've already lost it all Come on You're either doing fine Or you're halfway gone Fall asleep Slip into a dream 'Til the morning comes then it's misery Stubborn down to the core When did empathy turn into a chore Stagnant sick and bored You've already lost it Sleeping with my eyes half closed It's only time that makes indifference grow Sleeping with my eyes half closed It's only time that makes indifference grow Come on You're either doing fine Or you're halfway gone Come on I always draw the line Then the water comes Sleeping with my eyes half closed It's only time that makes indifference grow Sleeping with my eyes half closed It's only time that I'm indifferent

Letting Go 05:42
Feeling like a fork in the road Feeling like I've nowhere to go Feel I can't stand on my own Heart of stone Future's getting harder to see Feeling like it's harder to breathe Wanna know what's becoming of me I agree If I live too hard Then I'm asking for Death to just play his part If I move too slow I'm a hitchhiker walking a dead end road If I'm letting go Every time I turn on the news Feels like pouring salt in the wound Baby's been feeling the blues I do too If I live too hard Then I'm asking for Death to just play his part If I move too slow I'm a hitchhiker walking a dead end road If I'm letting go A million thoughts run through my brain Like I'm constantly changing lanes I wish I could learn to write this out If I get rid of all my doubts I could find a different route If I live too hard Then I'm asking for Death to just play his part If I move too slow I'm a hitchhiker walking a dead end road If I'm letting go Can I let you know If I'm letting go
