I’ve got that feeling
Something’s off
My eyes are in a panic
But my sight seems disconnected
Watch the ceiling
Falling down
My words flicker with a message
And now you’re searching through the wreckage
Of my mistakes
Can you feel this disease?
You were coming out the back door
Running with your good shoes on
And the bad news on your face
I was lying on the cold floor
Should’ve gave a warning that it’s more than I can take
You can make do if you need to
I’ve been gone for far too long
Paralyzed
Fucked up in our parents’ eyes
It’s you and I just hypnotized by
Troubles and setbacks
Will this ever pay off?
We never even stood a chance
But nothing ever stops us
Keep sorting through all the mess
So we can shed a light on this
I’ve been gone for far too long
Do you think you’ll miss me when I’m gone?
Will you know when things start to feel wrong?
Do you think you’ll miss me when I’m gone
And no one else is listening?
Will you know when things feel wrong?
Don’t look back
And I know the pain is crippling
‘Cause I’ve suffered far too long
Don’t look back
‘Cause you know that no one’s listening
When you found that things feel wrong
Please don’t look back
I know the pain is crippling
So fight back and stand up tall

Behind the Wheel

Anywhere but here, any time but now
Stuck behind the wheel suffocating
And there’s no one close to help me now
Sometimes it’s hard to keep my story straight
Can’t hold back this fear
Or try to hide behind a crooked smile
It’s no good to try
To convince me to drop this disguise
Tell me why did it wait so long
To finally creep up on me
I try to keep things to myself
But half-buried so you can see
That I wear all this stress like a scar
The conversations left unsaid
Keep us both from healing
I’ve been lying all this time
And honestly, I’ve learned to live the lie
Anywhere but here, any time but now
Stuck behind the wheel suffocating
And there’s no one close to help me now
Hopelessly struggle to breathe
This isn’t the time or place
To start melting down
So just play it cool
There’s nothing that you
Or anyone else can do
But just hold me
(You know I’m here when you need me)
Don’t wanna be lonely
(Focus and try to breathe slowly)
Try to console me
(I know when things start to feel bleak)
Just ‘til I’m okay
This routine won’t last forever
All I needed was a friend
And if we go through this together
It keeps us both from healing
Call off the search, let it pass
Can’t calm down and can’t relax
Step back and watch me collapse
Don’t act like you understand

Sunken in my head again
Something pulls down my guard
And right when I need a friend
There you are
I know what’s hiding in your tough love
Tell myself I’m better with a tough one
Like you, keep me level
When I’m acting up again
When I push too far
‘Cause it’s all ending up in the same way
I know you’re calling and you can’t stop trying
And you can’t stop bawling your eyes out
Who’s that, who’s that
Who finally hurt you?
You didn’t know enough to say goodbye
Who’s that, who’s that
Who finally used you?
Took you under with the sweetest lie
I can’t help but to think I deserve this
All the pain and the panic that it comes with
Do you think when we met
That we jumped the gun?
You know better than to ask now
But god damn, I hoped you’d stay
I didn’t build this home just for you to break it
No, I won’t go away
I left the keys in the door
You left a hole in the wall
Anything you want is yours
If I can stay where you are
But who says, who says
You’re stuck where you are?

One spark, it started it all
For years we seemed to be inseparable
Off work, honey I’m coming home
I love to see the baby smile at the door
You and Mom can tell me all that you have done today
And we all smile and we tell ourselves we’ll be okay
But I know we’re not okay
You looked at me and said it’s over
'cause we grew apart
Our lights burned out as we got older
This place will be the death of me
For nights I’ve slept all alone
This house has become my backbone
That I let overgrow
You couldn’t tell it from the outside
But I’m having trouble seeing things
In a different light
And no one’s waiting up on me tonight
I can’t help you through this
‘Cause I’m going through shit on my own
Promise me you won’t love again
It’s not worth it
Honestly
I never had faith in you and me
We only wanted a family so bad
We’d pretend

We heard the news
And my jaw just hit the floor
We planned this all along
But what we got was so much more
Separate heartbeats, unexpected
We told the family and our friends
As you smiled from ear to ear
This one time life has been sincere
You’re locked in your room again
Just like the grief inside my head
And I hope that you understand
Tear the sheets down
Off the windows
It’s blocking out the sun
As we’ve ghosted everyone
And we quickly came undone
I can’t seem to stop your crying
And we can’t seem to hug enough
And even though we’d feel like dying
We never spoke of giving up
I’m lost in my thoughts again
While I refuse to let you in
And I hope that you understand
I’m just no good at showing it
I wonder why all this time
I let heartache pass me by
I realized, all this time
I didn’t even get to say goodbye
Goodbye
I can’t hear your heart beating
You didn’t even get to meet your mom and dad
I can’t hear your heart beating
I don’t know if I can go through this shit
I don’t know if I can go through this shit again

Peel back the skin
Show my own true colors
Now you found me out
Where do we go from here?
Maybe we won’t speak
We won’t see each other
For another ten or fifteen years
I’m all out of luck
I lost all the love and affection
That’s been given to me
Lie, cheat, and steal
The poison feeds the flaws
I’ve been trying to conceal
I know that it’s bad
Called your phone to say sorry again
I regret those things that I said to you
So just call my name and I’ll be there soon
Where you’re at
I know that you’re mad
Called your phone to say sorry again
Peel back the skin
Show my own true colors
Why would you believe any word I say?
I lost a brother, I’ve killed trust
Betrayed family for self-gain
I know that it’s bad
Ask if you could ever love me again
You didn’t answer
But you didn’t answer
You keep claiming it’s my fucked up attitude
Fallen from grace, going nowhere again
You keep saying it’s the fucked up shit I do
Another disgrace going nowhere again
I’m sorry
I just am

What’s your fucking problem,
Can you just explain?
I tried to be there when you were spiraling
You went down the wrong path
And you lost your way
Excuses and lies that you now fabricate blindly
You lost control and track of time
We need to rewind
You wouldn’t talk to me without a good reason why
You sold your soul for a fucking dime
We need to rewind
I called you every night to ask if you’re alright
We’re not the people we’re supposed to be
And I thought we were like family
I forgot that you’re always right
And you’ve got all the answers
You can live life lonely
And when your hands are tied
Please don’t call me to help out

Swallow the medicine
That’s pouring out of every headline
Give in, let them tell you what to do
You’re wrong and I’m right
Follow political hacks
Believe that they’ve got your backs
They’re using us just to get their pockets full
You’ll get ‘em next time
And all this shit seems like
We’ve fallen on hard times
When push comes to shove
What you’re selling, I’m just not buying
I drown myself in bad ideas
And I don’t have any regrets
I’m first to wake up,
Last one to fall asleep
Watching the world destroy itself
It keeps my interest piqued
When people fill sidewalks
The bigots, they flee
It’s hard to comply
When you can’t fucking breathe
You have an appetite for hate
I’ll smack the taste out of your mouth
Now the time to talk’s too late
I’ll wait til your head stops spinning
Civilize your fucking selves
This way of life, it just won’t do
Terrorize your own like
Be surprised when we turn it back on you
I know I’m full of bad ideas

Sell me out for sympathy and gratitude
I’m the go-to excuse that you would always use
Leave me with nothing, can’t sleep in my bed
Left me with strangers, taken off of your hands
I’m too much to deal with, I heard what you said
Never there when I needed you
I was a kid
You chose a life of revelry
And hoped that I would never find out
And in your eyes is jealousy
What’s in your heart, I’ll never see
Fighting in your room again
A young mind torn by the stress
I told you my darling, that nothing’s fair
And “forever” means forever
Days keep blazing past
And the older I get, the more I relate
It’s hard to be dependable and keep loved ones safe
We’re rough around the edges, we push through the pain
It’s clear to me now that we’re one and the same
You chose a life of revelry
And hoped that I would never find out
(Saw you through a child's eyes)
(Thought that I would never find)
In your eyes was jealousy
What’s in your heart was clearly self-doubt
Feeling used
(Like every time)
When will this blow over?
(Without a kiss goodbye)
I spoke to you
(But I’ll be fine)
Hoping to get closure
I just wanted closure
Why’d you leave me here?
You assure that it’s just for the night
Where’s my mother, where’s my father?
Abandoned in a place that I don’t recognize
Abandoned in this fucking place that I don't even recognize

I can’t believe it’s come to this
Saint Patrick’s Day came and went
I wore envy like a coat and I still got pinched
You found me shattered by the roadside
I can’t sleep, I’m an addict for the only thing
That makes me feel alive
But god, I hope this ends tonight
Then you drag me on back inside
The ground tears my hands and knees
Well I suppose that I don’t mind
Treated like a stray found in the streets
I tried to be the better man
But you couldn’t let that happen
You couldn’t even stop laughing
I tried to be the better man
Now I’m done being careful
You drag me down to your level
I like the way you deflect
It’s admittedly impressive
I’m a sucker for attention
Guess I could be less submissive
But where would be the fun in that?
No one doesn’t remind me of you
It’s burning all the way through
I’m learning I can undo
The pollution buried deep into my mind
Take your best shot
Missed me, did you even try?
Why am I the way that I am?
Nothing ever took me
Down by surprise
You couldn’t be worse but I’m sure that you’ll try
If I come home tonight
Can we pretend like nothing ever happened?
We don’t need to feel abandoned
I ran out of your time
I think I always knew you’d leave
‘Cause in your head there’s no redemption
What goes through your mind?
Must be hard to find all those words again
“Keep it short,” you said
I lost track of myself
I’m not my father’s son
The water washes out the blood
And crashes us
Entangled but still unaligned
We’re picking through our pieces
Intertwining through our weakness
I tried to be the better man
And I’m not sure what it got me
But I know what it cost me
