We try to find alright And settle for okay The crushing weight of words fall when I hear you say I don't need You can grieve me What the fuck was I supposed to do Walking out of my life You can't see Can't perceive I can't come to terms with it myself Do you remember The resentment buried in your bones Thoughts racing in your mind How you lied Can you try To steer away from that apathy Look at me Are you even here Your light Still burns so bright That you pollute any star I find in the sky Sometimes (Sometimes) I briefly find a way (A way) But a wave of interference looms (Interference looms) If it's any good it's soon defused (It’s soon defused) I wonder if your sky does the same Take me home I can't recall all the things that set you off Wallowing in your hate A blank stare Are you there Nothing can ever be your own fault Blame's always transcendent Back to back Atonement met with ice Message received loud and clear Severed ties No goodbyes I'll take good care of these memories that stay with me And my fear We want more than okay Is there more than just alright Thoughts racing through my head Lingering in my mind I don't want to It's like you took hold of me (And I couldn't breathe) A darkness in stead (When I tried to leave) And eyes that you can't believe It's like you took control of me (And I can't believe) With darkness in stead (How I couldn't see) And eyes that you can't believe It's like you took hold of me A darkness in stead And eyes that you can't believe It's like you took control of me

These colours read as one Reliving what we've done Patterns revealed we're not there at all Plant doubt in what they knew It all comes back to you Trying to find something worthwhile It's not right You can't lie again Take every grain of salt but Believe it in your heart (Don't hide) Put fear aside Shelve your pride It's not right Just try and turn Around and you might Find some light It's alright You can fight Believe it in your heart (Break design) With your sight reject mind And leave quiet What's beyond your own plight The walls are closing in The sun is going down (You begged, you plead) For just one second more But we only want time once it's gone Gone forever It’s now or never Along the road We found a note that we held close To keep us reaching For something up above Along the road We found a note that we held close To keep us reaching (When will we learn) Along the road We found a note that we held close To keep us reaching For something up above I never used to stand up on my own I never wanted all of this damn time till I'm here thrashing out (Oh no) I never used to hate being alone I never begged for my own life until I felt I was losing all Of my soul

You don't understand The weight of your words They speak for all the ones that you once served You can't comprehend How life falls into place For most of us when our paths are retraced The cycles we're in (Cycles we’re in) Know no bounds except for the ones that All your people set Lies deceit the shit we're fed on the daily Walk away from the fall (Walk away from the fall) Stand to the side oh so tall Maybe we'll forget How you bend things into fair play That doesn't make it okay That doesn't make it okay Alone on your own With a system that keeps us at bay If we make you understand That you're just another man Maybe as you float you might reach out a hand I see a man who never looks in the mirror Too busy finding out how to grow divides quicker But justifies to us how we're playing it equal Complicit friends sympathize without pushing the needle Take this away I don't understand Why you wouldn't cry for your people Take this away I don't understand Oh Take this away I don't understand Why you wouldn't cry for an equal Take this away I won't feed your hand We'll fly Into night We'll fly Into the night We'll fly Into the night While you crawl

Deliver what we needed so evidently All consuming Can you read between the lines of everyone And what they've done Take back the gestures that were made What a joke apologies too late Relive mistakes took to the grave It eats you up alive Different tone a change in words imbue All this dread that what they said was true Could there be something to what they knew It keeps you up at night For all those times You dimmed that light Can't wonder why Standing up for your beliefs Is only good if it's beliefs That are really worth you standing up for You wish for a life that's black and white You can’t be a passenger Try to find purpose, holding tight Reassign the guilty party to positive memories in your brain Is there a semblance in a lie That you can graduate to Good intentions Misdirection Even if deep down you know We are free to choose how we see How we displace all of our blame But maybe we could understand some things just make us tick Running in circles around the truth not looking in There's no shame in taking a knee Own up to our mistakes and maybe we might get a chance To find salvation, forgive without another dance Take responsibility It's all you need to let us in Oh yeah Relief from what we did so senselessly An apology’s choosing To find contrition, spread it to everyone For what they’ve done Accept the gestures that were made Try and find a way to release hate With a vow to not repeat mistakes It makes you feel alive Different tone a change in words imbue All this dread evaporates in you Could there be something to what they knew It helps you dream at night For all those times You shined that light Can't wonder why Standing up for your beliefs Is only good if it's beliefs That are really worth you standing up for

Running around With your head to the ground Where are your eyes Where’s your pride Running around With your head to the ground Where is your drive Where’s your life at

There's a disconnect from heart to mind Been to hell and back and I survived With scars as evidence Thought that this might be a chance to grow Even hell itself couldn't make me whole Just want to feel alright The weight on my shoulders I wish I could hold it And tell myself I would be alright But I'm suffocating The silence is grating Despite all the noise that's in my mind Playing back, I've seen it all before Make a change, that leaves you wanting more Not worth the time of day Try to make some sense out of it all There's no plan, sometimes you lose control Despite the best laid plans The weight on my shoulders I wish I could hold it And tell myself I would be alright But I'm suffocating The silence is grating Despite all the noise that's in my mind There's no room for guessing Proceed with the system That dictates the roads left in my life Roadmaps all obscure Disrupting the future For now we’re just left to a god’s devices The way it goes A casualty of circumstance Believe that nothing is owed and yet it keeps its take The way it goes A waste across this great expanse Believe it’s now what we chose and so it keeps its take Blegh

Try to clear Space up there Don't worry about that for now It'll come to you later Falling through All the cracks Never been so damn unsure If there's anything greater Don't put this all on me There's another sensible way Open ignorant eyes and see Still we fall We've fallen from the cliff just above Death we face, but I know We'll be fine All we need is more time Just more time Try to run Try to climb Maybe try giving it up Keep tempered expectations Outreached hands Pull us in Never been so god damn sure (Damn sure) That these demons must hate us (Hate us) Don't put this all on me There's another sensible way If we try our best to leave things as they lay Don't put this all on why you can't see Still we fall We've fallen from the cliff just above Death we face, but I know We'll be fine All we need is more time Just more time (Just more time) Can we rise Find some life In tired eyes To realize To fight for Our right to survive

Sometimes there's this urge to just want to fight But surrendering to failure letting things Go where they might can be more tempting Lately it subsides (Should we be grateful for apathy) Is there something we’re missing Wandering for truth that can bypass Just the thousand cuts that hurt the most Is this a fault that I can unload Tell me I'm perfect That my time was worth it Why can't we find things to hold To steady our footing as we grow How can we find purpose in it at all Just a little guidance Evidence that's not hiding Please tell us something We don't already know We already know We already know

Read and write a history Bleeding hearts sit in misery Can’t we just get ourselves over it Are we equals are we friends If not why do you contend That you really know what is best for me We’re growing tired of the platitudes you force feed us Can you use a little influence combined with all that affluence to make some fucking change because We are dying out here Can you lend us a hand Do you understand That your sympathy alone it just isn’t enough Is it clicking now Can you see the truth Has the body count reached a number too high for you Is your apathy Slowly being disavowed We’ll start a revolution if resolution’s out Read and write a history Bleeding out left in the streets How can we get ourselves out of this Voice of reason shouted down From big cities to small towns Complicit in your own blindness It’s time to pay for your crimes, your lies We all just want the life you have Is it clicking now Can you see the truth Has the body count reached a number too high for you Is your apathy Slowly being disavowed We’ll start a revolution if resolution’s out

I can feel it’s different It’s harder now to sleep Feigning signs of interest Try to not get in too deep Let it go Sorting through the wreckage Can’t mistake the ones who led you Into crashing waves so tall Gaslit into thinking it’s all your own fault If reason fails And trying hard to do right isn’t good enough If defenses start to fall And I need a friend who can see through the end Will you be there Be there I can hear the thrashing shore When distractions go away Begging for some answers That tell me it’s okay Wanting more Sorting through this madness Thought you knew it all, you had this But when they pull at a thread Your whole world crashes down Thoughts echo inside your head like Do I have the right To burden you with me Maybe I should go Slip out quietly Was this a mistake Can I handle this alone I don’t need your help But I don’t want you to go If reason fails And trying hard to do right isn’t good enough (Good enough) If defenses start to fall (Fall) And I need a friend who can see through the end Will you be there Be there

Impart A sense of reason a purpose for anything we display Can’t you restart All operations that cease to make us function properly Reassess situations Processing hundreds of times Reassess expectations Comparing to a million lives Can thoughts serve you wrong Can time move along fast enough to see Allusions to normality Can time heal all wounds Are they closing sooner than later I’m not sure of it anymore Pulling the strings and it just can’t be ignored The weight of nothing brings me down and I’m sick of the bore Restless from all of the nights where I wonder Am I any closer to finding some answers Tearing down instincts They never served me well Relief in the unknown Where did all the hours go Suspended by disbelief A running start to flight Is this the path I chose I can’t make out the light Can thoughts serve you wrong Can time move along fast enough to see Allusions to normality Can time heal all wounds Are they closing sooner than later I’m not sure of it anymore Do you feel it Do you need this Explicit hint of what to do Are you reeling Are you feeling Like no one’s ever watching you Temporary Adversary Can you see past Can’t believe that The only one in pain is you Will the time come Where we find one truth to hold onto Enduring what we lose is alright Do we find peace In our minds where we can drift away How can you say no to love Is it easy To completely Let go of the past you once knew Do you hate me Do you blame me For everything that's wrong with you What can I take From these heartaches The truth’s ugly Can you trust things To really go away on their own I can’t worry about every interaction Distracting me from what I need to truly be happy If there’s even a chance we’ll look back at our falls Surprised at how they seem so small, that we cared at all It might be worth seeking out A start Latch onto anything that can make joy grow so easily It can’t be far To find a time in the future that might bring a calming breeze Reassess situations Process them one at a time Reassess expectations Compare them to your singular life Reassess bifurcation Don’t try to keep emotions in line Can thoughts serve you wrong Can time move along fast enough to see Allusions to normality Can time heal all wounds Are they closing sooner than later I wasn’t sure of it anymore But you hit that mark Where things just get dark but the worst is done Look back at what you’ve overcome It might make you break And grow from mistakes that you’ve made so you can stay just a bit longer
