Abhorrence 04:00
[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

[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

East Lake 03:12
[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

Vacancy 04:09
[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
