On Second Thought...

It was two long years ago
I gave up everything and gave my life a go
And I was fine until now
Everything started to collapse and I couldn't find a way to relax
And I've never hit the ground so hard before
And all this pain that I've been living with
It's just turned out to be a deadly kiss, and I'm moving on
I've just been looking for a little peace in this storm
I've got my foot in the door
And I have never felt more relieved
I won't worry about tomorrow
There's already sorrow here, today
It's the right time to get back on the streets
And show them my face
As for right now, I'm living in the moment
Swallowing my pride and living without hate
On second thought
I'd rather not waste my time
I don't know how I could have been so blind
To ignore all you could have done for me here

Back Towards the Shore

Out of the drunk man's mouth was where I found the truth
From the back of the room was where I noticed you
I've never walked on water
But I can say I've tried
I've never sold my soul
But I've never found my life
I'll hear the words you speak for the sake of feeling free
If we trust what we see, will we ever believe?
If I try to walk, will you keep me from drowning
Because these seas are deep
If my faith wears away and I start to go under
Will you pull me back towards the shore?

Bear Trap!

I often speak out but never out loud, it's in my head and my heart
I try not to panic but it gets out of hand and I'm scared of truth
The fear grows inside me and I'm constantly trying to hold it it
I'll always be waiting for the day that my courage begins to set in
I don't want to be the one to push you away
But if it comes to leaving soon/you, I'm not afraid of fate/to stay
When you're around me I can't shake the feeling that you want something else
You try to entice me to return to my vices, but I won't give in
When I try my best it's never returned; It's in your hands
You're so condescending and I'm done pretending that I'm not let down
It's all in the spirit of this game that we call life

A Decade Under the Sun

Well, everybody's moving faster than me
And I haven't slept well since last week, Do you feel my pain?
I'm writing this song for all my friends
Praying that this year will never end, Do you have to leave?
My friends keep screaming "Grow up! Grow up!"
But I refuse to leave those days I love, Do you love me too?
I'm sitting in my bedroom all alone
Dreaming of places that feel like home, What is home again?
Five past one and I'm still awake
There's so many things that I've got to say, Are you listening?
Thinking of all the things that I've fought for
I can't help thinking that there's still more, God, I know there's more
I'm writing all these words just for you
Hoping that you'll see an honest truth, What do you see in me?
Meaningless
I know I'm meaningless
But I'll try to be more for you

Hope

I sit, staring at the skyline
Wishing that I had more time to tell you just how I feel
So tired of watching every regret
Come back and make me discontent
I just want to know
There's more than this false hope that keeps me up at night alone
I just need to see
Every part of me turn into something that you'll love
I'm done trying to swim against
This sea of weaknesses
I just need I find to find a way
To tell you things I need to say
But only God knows how
The night is darkest right before dawn
I'm holding on
I try to dream, but I can't sleep tonight
I'm holding on
I just need to hear you whisper in my ear
Tell me that you're there
