[Verse 1]
Always blinded by my heart
It's been telling me that things will be okay
But in the end we're broken people
In broken places
Holding broken picture frames of forgotten faces
My abhorrence for the way things are
Has made me crawl right back into the dark
I'm so aware and I wish I wasn't
Full of despair and I wish I wasn't
If the world was to end right now, would you stay with me?
[Chorus]
So can I hold you one last time
I don't know if we'll make it out alive
And yeah I promise that I will be fine
But you know that it is just a lie
We cannot be forgiven
We cannot be forgiven
It isn't just the ending we dread
We hope and we pretend
That we could somehow forget
That the hole we've been digging is our bed
[Verse 2]
The hypocrisy of society has undoubtedly made everything feel worse
It's not like we don't know everyone's hurting
We all share the same pain, same scars, same burdens
I'm going numb
It's out of my hands
Can you please make me feel like I have a chance
To do some good
While I'm still here breathing
I bet I could if I was still breathing
But the world is ending right now, will you stay with me?
[Chorus]
So can I hold you one last time
I don't know if we'll make it out alive
And yeah I promise that I will be fine
But you know that it is just a lie
We cannot be forgiven
We cannot be forgiven
It isn't just the ending we dread
We hope and we pretend
That we could somehow forget
That the hole we've been digging is our bed
[Bridge]
It's getting harder everyday
To see the dismay on your face
All the words your actions can't portray
And your fears held in that grave you made
This is not the life that I desire
It's all burning, who started the fire?
The ash is filling up my lungs, is this really what I have become?
Peace be with me now
I'll lay my head 6 feet below the ground
This was never for me
Or for anyone
[Chorus]
So can I hold you one last time
I don't know if we'll make it out alive
And yeah I promise that I will be fine
But you know that it is just a lie
We cannot be forgiven
We cannot be forgiven
It isn't just the ending we dread
We hope and we pretend
That we could somehow forget
That the hole we've been digging is our bed

Wishbone (ft. Addie)

[Verse 1]
The presence of your toxicity has damaged everything, and I tried to forgive for now
But you blew it
You took my life from me and you knew it
But I can't say I understand
When I am forced to pick up the pieces
It's in the stars, it's who I am
I hope I find something to believe in
[Chorus]
And it's just a little too late for me to fix this, my minds racing
The voice is yelling and it won't let up
I tried to stop it but it's not enough
And I trust the doubt in my brain, am I insane?
I feel it closing in on me
This isn't who I wanna be
[Verse 2]
I snapped the wishbone and made my wish
But I'm still like this
I cannot separate the part of me
That wants to destroy everything
I swear I want better
But my mind has got me locked in a fetter
I need to say
I regret not taking the chance I had
To get away
Overdose on the aching feeling that
I shouldn't stay
It's not right
After all, I could've saved
My life
[Chorus]
And it's just a little too late for me to fix this, my minds racing
The voice is yelling and it won't let up
I tried to stop it but it's not enough
And I trust the doubt in my brain, am I insane?
I feel it closing in on me
This isn't who I wanna be
[Bridge]
And I’ll try to let go
Of everything
If that’s really what you want from me
But
This rope you’ve wrapped around my neck
It’s getting a little tight, don’t you think?
I can’t breathe
And now you won’t cut me down
I can’t sleep
While your ghost is hanging around
Over me
And I wished for another life
And I hoped and I prayed for a lighter existence
I know
That you won’t let me leave you alive
And I see that
The answer is still in the sky
And I swore I could be better
But you refused to let me try
[Chorus]
And it's just a little too late for me to fix this, my minds racing
The voice is yelling and it won't let up
I tried to stop it but it's not enough
And I trust the doubt in my brain, am I insane?
I feel it closing in on me
This isn't who I wanna be

[Verse 1]
Let's cheers to this
Hoping we could amount to something more
I just wanna make a difference
I think I found my purpose
Listening to the song that Hayley wrote
This paper and pen is all I know
[Chorus]
I hate being at a standstill
My body's stagnant, my mind is somewhere else
My heart beats for this
I wanna get far
All that I am is a kid with a guitar dreaming at night
How can I get to the top if I'm afraid of heights?
[Verse 2]
I feel trapped in my brain
Even though I have this whole life ahead of me
Is any of this real
Cause all I feel is anxiety
I forced my hand and now I'm out
Without any direction
I've been so lost
[Chorus]
I hate being at a standstill
My body's stagnant, my mind is somewhere else
My heart beats for this
I wanna get far
All that I am is a kid with a guitar dreaming at night
How can I get to the top if I'm afraid of heights?
[Bridge]
This is just the beginning
I sit here writing stupid songs
That make me feel less lost
This is just the beginning
I sit here and I sing along
You make me feel unlost
[Outro]
This is just the beginning

[Verse 1]
Stay awhile
Before the sun sets
And we will remember how
We used to dive off the deep end
But that window's closed
(There is a whole new world for us to roam)
I hope you know
(You are exactly where I've made my home)
[Chorus]
And what if I told you I'd never leave you
Here in this world alone
And that I’d stay forever for as long as you need me to
And what if I told you I’d always save you
When there's nowhere to go
Just stay with me tonight
And we will be alright
[Verse 2]
They say fake it til you make it
But honestly I always hated
Not being brave enough
To stand up to the truth
The truth is the truth hurts
Good doesn't stay good forever
It doesn’t mean that we’ll never live
[Chorus]
And what if I told you I'd never leave you
Here in this world alone
And that I’d stay forever for as long as you need me to
And what if I told you I’d always save you
When there's nowhere to go
Just stay with me tonight
And we will be alright
[Break]
[Chorus]
And what if I told you I'd never leave you
Here in this world alone
And that I’d stay forever for as long as you need me to
And what if I told you I’d always save you
When there's nowhere to go
Just stay with me tonight
And we will be alright

[Verse 1]
I've been swimming in oceans
That were too deep for me to reach the bottom
And I'm sinking down
Further than I've ever gone
It's so dark here
I can feel my fear
Creeping up on me
My home is travesty
[Pre-Chorus]
They say "Kid what are you crying for?"
Cause the world is screwed, I have nothing more to do
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of saving everyone
Why can't I save myself?
I've been burnt and bruised so now I'm done
Rely on someone else
To fix all your problems, go ahead and solve em'
I don't owe you anything so pack your stuff
And get up and leave
[Verse 2]
I didn't realize how messed up I am
Because of you
I've fallen out of place
And I can't feel my skin anymore
I'm just numb from head to toe because you always were corrosive
And I'm bleeding from the repercussions
[Pre-Chorus]
"Kid what are you crying for?"
Cause I feel alone, I have nothing more to do
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of saving everyone
Why can't I save myself?
I've been burnt and bruised so now I'm done
Rely on someone else
To fix all your problems, go ahead and solve em'
I don't owe you anything so pack your stuff
And get up and leave
[Bridge]
I feel like I've been here before
Over and over again
It's a cycle that never ends
But if I break it
I can free myself
Cause I hated
Being a convenience for you
I won't be used
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of saving everyone
Why can't I save myself?
I've been burnt and bruised so now I'm done
Rely on someone else
To fix all your problems, go ahead and solve em'
I don't owe you anything so pack your stuff
And get up and leave

[Verse 1]
I look around and all I see
Is the beginning of something much bigger than me
With all the constant pressure that's weighing me down, I
Think I'm finally starting to be found
I just want to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no holding back, not anymore
We're gonna be forever
Can someone tell me why I'd ever change
[Chorus]
Let's just live
We don't care what they say
Cause we're still young
Getting by every day, yeah
So goodbye
(To conforming)
Brand new skies
(No more storming)
Let's just live
Before it gets too late
To do more than just survive
This cannot wait, yeah
So goodbye
(To conforming)
Brand new skies
(No more storming)
[Verse 2]
Live in the now, forget the past
These memories will always last
Cause now we're
Kicking stones in the streets of our hometowns
But who knows how this will all play out We'll always have each other without a doubt
[Chorus]
Let's just live
We don't care what they say
Cause we're still young
Getting by every day, yeah
So goodbye
(To conforming)
Brand new skies
(No more storming)
Let's just live
Before it gets too late
To do more than just survive
This cannot wait, yeah
So goodbye
(To conforming)
Brand new skies
(No more storming)
[Bridge]
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye
[Chorus]
Let's just live
We don't care what they say
Cause we're still young
Getting by every day, yeah
So goodbye
(To conforming)
Brand new skies
(No more storming)
Let's just live
Before it gets too late
To do more than just survive
This cannot wait, yeah
So goodbye
(To conforming)
Brand new skies
(No more storming)
[Outro]
(So goodbye to conforming)
(Brand new skies no more storming)
So goodbye, to conforming
Brand new skies, no more storming

[Verse 1]
I don’t know how to feel about this
It all made sense but now it’s just a smudge on a dirty window
Everything that I thought I knew
Was just a skewed reality
That locked away my sanity
[Chorus]
I believed in this at first, but I’m seeing all the signs
(That it’s not real)
How can you be so sure that it’s forever?
When I snap my fingers, you’re gone
(I cannot conceal)
[Verse 2]
I won’t make promises that I can’t keep
You don’t need me
I won’t wait for you to change
That’s the one thing I can guarantee
You couldn’t see that I wasn’t happy
Don’t act as if you were the victim of this situation
You didn’t take what I gave to you
But everything's just vacancy
I’m abandoned with what you left of me
[Chorus]
I believed in this at first, but I’m seeing all the signs
(That it’s not real)
How can you be so sure that it’s forever?
When you pulled the trigger, I’m gone
(This is how I feel)
[Bridge]
Stay away
You thoughts of insecurity
I’ll never say
That I was ever better off
I tried my hardest
To shut out the ghosts
That haunt my dreams
I’m suffering from all the decay

[Verse 1]
Cause I've wasted all my time just to feel something
More than just the emptiness that's harboring inside of me
Is it all in my head?
I swear I'll never see the day
That I can walk around
Without my hands in my pockets and my head to the ground
I give up
Where is there to go from here?
[Chorus]
That's enough
Tired of helpless attrition
Hoping I'll change my conditions
[Verse 2]
I need some time
To gather all my things
If I wanna grow, then I've got to let these memories
Fade away
Or I'll go astray
From moving on
[Chorus]
That's enough
Tired of helpless attrition
Hoping I'll change my conditions
Maybe I could start somewhere new
Where my home could be a home again
My words are caving in again, all thanks to you
Nothing feels the same
[Bridge] x2
Well I've faced it
I am on my own
I could fake this
But it's set in stone
And I know why
No one calls my phone
I know
[Chorus]
That's enough
Tired of helpless attrition
Hoping I'll change my conditions
Maybe I could start somewhere new
Where my home could be a home again
My words are caving in again, all thanks to you
Nothing feels the same
[Outro]
Cause I've wasted all my time just to feel something
More than just the emptiness that's harboring inside of me
Is it all in my head? (Maybe I could start somewhere new)
I swear I'll never see the day
That I can walk around
Without my hands in my pockets and my head to the ground
Nothing feels the same
Nothing feels the

[Verse 1]
How are you doing these days?
Cause you never come around, never come around
I just wanna know if you're doing alright
The words I scream are made for you to
Hear but you're not here
So I'll just keep on singing to the trees
[Verse 2]
It's been a couple months and ever since I've been dreaming of your face
Does your mouth ever speak my name?
And if you must know, I've been tripping over the same branch that brought me to my knees
It's pathetic but I can't change a thing
[Chorus]
You left me standing there
And I don't know
What I don't know
Do you care
That I still wait for you?
I still wait for you
[Verse 3]
Your voice around was the
Sweetest of sounds and now
I haven't found something
That makes me feel
Anything other than the weight
That's pushing on my shoulders
Why couldn't you give me the closure I need
(All I want is closure)
[Chorus]
You left me standing there
And I don't know
What I don't know
Do you care
That I still wait for you?
I still wait for you
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
I will wait
I'll always wait
You've given up slowly on this love
You only want more, I'm not enough
[Outro]
Out of sight, out of mind x4
