Dream Awake (Prologue)
02:39
|
|||
|
I’m trying to find a place
Where all of my thoughts erase
And maybe a pillow and a bed
Whenever I close my eyes
It stirs up the fear inside
And lets all the darkness in my head
I dream awake ‘cause I try to sleep but I
Can’t find a way ‘cause the thoughts stay in my mind
I’m losing faith in myself ‘cause I’m so afraid
I’m trying to get some sleep
But all of my thoughts repeat
I’m starting to lose myself tonight
So onto my side, I roll
My body is still so cold
I hope that come dawn I’ll be alright
I try to run but there’s nowhere left to hide
It hurts a ton leaving all of this behind
And when I’m done it’ll ache to say goodbye

Chances Are

Play a melody inside my heart and you will have it
I’ll try to pull you in but fall apart, ‘cause I can’t work magic
If my smiles reach you from afar, I’ll be ecstatic
Even if you see them chances are I would be your last pick
Oh I’ll explain it even if you understand
I’ll try to paint it better
I hope you’ll frame it because I worked so hard and I won’t
Be complacent without you, without you
Chances are
I will send a wish and hope the stars will spell your name out
We’re so close and yet we are so far, still, I hear the sweet sound
Of your laughter echoing with charm, so I’ll meet your eyes now
But even if you see me, chances are, I will just let you down
Darling can I gain your trust and get close
Likely not but even still I suppose
Oh, I suppose that…

This Is Not the End
04:03
|
|||
|
I feel this weight upon me
I feel it pulling on my heart to the floor
I know that I will have to leave
But I don’t think that I can walk out the door
I feel my chest collapsing
I can’t take this pressure on my lungs
I feel my eyes, they’re heavy
My heart is slow and it’s breaking for love
But I will, I’ll see you again
We know that this is not the end
Our chapters are ending, our stories are not
It’s so hard to let go of all that I’ve got
But this time, this time, this time
We have to say goodbye
I’m losing track of my sleep
I toss and turn and wonder if I’m fine
At least I’m feeling something
But what I feel, it’s spreading in my mind

You’re getting tired. I see it in your eyes
They lost the fire. And they don’t reflect the skies
So if you’re gone, then tell me
I just long for something concrete
But your promises have lost their feeling
How are you gonna leave?
And how are you gonna say
That you don’t love me anymore
When your heart still beats the same?
Do your words mean nothing more
Than a couple empty breaths?
‘Cause the ones you just let float away
Are weighing heavy on my chest
Oh yeah, I’m tired. ‘Cause you don’t seem the same
We once were higher, but we’re not and you’re to blame
And I’m impressed, you broke me
Now I’m a mess, and you sure won’t be
‘Cause your promises have lost their feeling
How does this forgive your unforgiveness
Or fix our incompleteness?
And how does this excuse the hole in my heart
Or my world that you tore apart?

Alone
03:30
|
|||
|
I’m trying to find a place that I can call my home
The silence is telling me that I’m still all alone
I’m trying to face the fears that stagger in the night
But all lights are broken, my heart is frozen without the light
I try to ignore the pains that come with shattered souls
Amidst the defeat, I lie here useless in the cold
I’m trapped in a prison, I can see the bolted door
The lock’s on the inside, but I think I might die on the floor
I hear as the keys are thrown inside but out of reach
With all of my strength, I turn, they’re all that I can see
I try to get up, I feel you pressing onto me
My strength is all gone, this battle you’ve won, and so I scream
This nightmare has lasted far too long
Let me out, let me out, I don’t belong
My head is tired of your evil songs
Let me out, let me out, I don’t belong
Let me out, let me out, I’m so alone

Don't Be Afraid
02:40
|
|||
|
Don’t be afraid, ‘cause I help you in your weakness
Just close your eyes and I’ll help you find the words
I’m crying out for you, I’m reaching out to you
You’re what I’m fighting for
Don’t be afraid, ‘cause I help you in your weakness
Just close your eyes and I’ll help you find the words
(We know that all things, they come together)
I’m crying out for you, I’m reaching out to you
You’re what I’m fighting for
(For those who believe the One who knows what’s better)

Waterfalls
03:17
|
|||
|
I think I memorized the patterns on my ceiling
My eyes are open wide, my mind is lost in feelings
The shadows on the walls remain in silence like me
I can’t contain it all, the darkness holds around me
Oh darkness holds around me
I thought that waterfalls were beautiful
Until I saw reflections in your eyes
I hoped that everything would be okay
But instead, I said “I’m sorry” and I had to walk away
I think I’ve lost my mind, replaying all our stories
I lie here paralyzed and I can’t help but worry
I won’t forget that night: the third of January
I won’t forget your eyes, the sadness truly scared me
Your sadness truly scared me
Blurry street lights
Losing my mind
I hope we will be alright

Home
03:15
|
|||
|
I won’t forget the time we walked in the rain
We were so close to home, but trees would keep us safe
Or all the rides from school to Circle K
It wasn’t healthy but I’ll always miss those days
I’ll always miss those days
Keep me in your mind
And you will stay in mine until the day we die
I’ll still feel alone
The time is getting close, and I need you to know
That you all are my home
You all are my home
I won’t forget the time we met last year
For better or for worse I guess I’ll leave you here
Or when you wrote the “nothing” on that page
Well now you’re in my heart, forever there you’ll stay
Forever there you’ll stay
I won’t forget the time we moved away
Or all the tears we spent imagining the day
Or all the years we’ve had to learn and grow
I’ll miss you most of all, but now I have to go
Now I have to go

Dear Elizabeth
03:16
|
|||
|
Dear Elizabeth, please don’t doubt me when I say
I’ve believed in you for all these years
Don’t make that go away
Dear Elizabeth, I’ve known you well for quite some time
I’ve admired all the things you do
But I don’t think you’re fine
Close your eyes
Dear Elizabeth, I know your heart is stronger
But you won’t last much longer
Please Elizabeth, it hurts to see you wander
I’m living for the day when you’ll come home
Dear Elizabeth, it breaks my heart to see you change
I remember when you never left
When I could not see straight
Dear Elizabeth, I’m crying out for my close friend
I don’t want to watch you fall apart
Or see your fire end
Please listen
Because I know that this is not who you are
Keep hanging on, I’m begging don’t fall too far
If you’re alone, just turn your eyes to the stars

Time to Leave (Epilogue)
03:17
|
|||
|
Look around it’s hard to take in all the memories you made
All the times and all the places, they will never be the same
Try to pull it all together. All the pain won’t last forever
Focus on the parts of this that make you feel alive
Pack your bags, it’s time to leave
Even if you can’t conceive the end
You know you’ll only grow
When the lights begin to fade
And when all the colors turn to gray
Be strong and then you’ll know
That now it’s time to go
Look at all the friends you made here. See the joy inside their eyes
Look at all the hearts you held dear. Oh you should not be surprised
That it’s time to go your ways now. Wrap it up inside a breakdown
Even though it’s hard to handle, I promise you’ll survive
