I come from a small town no dreams
Lit up on kerosene
And it's all about the he said she said
But you didn't hear that from me
All rise and pledge your allegiance
To your local drama queen
Our sound from the underground rising
Looking out for the ones unseen
Don't hold your breath
When the lights go out
They've got their finger on the trigger
Once they've figured you out
Whoa-oh
The pressure is rising
Interrogation frightening
They wonder what I see
They're out to get me
Let's go
I'm sick of all the complications
I know
This isn't how you wanted it to be
Let's go
The world forgot your invitation
I know
That's how it is, it's never how it seems
Don't pull the plug
On the life support
I've got a couple minutes left
Before it's time to abort
Whoa-oh
So tired of fighting
Why do we bother trying
A war that no one won
The damage is done
Let's go
I'm sick of all the complications
I know
This isn't how you wanted it to be
Let's go
The world forgot your invitation
I know
That's how it is, it's never how it seems
You'd never know the actions of your lies
Sitting silent as the world goes by
Buried the truth between the dirt and I
A loss of words no longer can define
Let's go
I'm sick of all the complications
I know
This isn't how you wanted it to be
Let's go
The world forgot your invitation
I know
That's how it is, it's never how it seems
Let's go
I'm sick of all the complications
I know
This isn't how you wanted it to be
Let's go
The world forgot your invitation
I know
That's how it is, it's never how it seems
Let's go
So cut the chord from expectations
I know
This isn't how you wanted it to be
Let's go
You'd never know the devastation
That's how it is, it's never how it seems

I am crossing borderlines
Traversing this divide
To pull you from the
Poison of your own demise
And even if daylight dies
I will be by your side
I will be there
Fall in the fight and we'll all carry on
Suffer the darkness until the pains gone
If you're lost then so am I
Take my hand I'll be your sign
Bind the burning of a lie
To hope buried alive
And find your reason
To push on the faith inside
and even if daylight dies
I will be your side
I will be there
Fall in the fight and we'll all carry on
Suffer the darkness until the pains gone
If you're lost then so am I
Take my hand I'll be your sign
Follow the path that leads you through the night
Empty the sky and let it shine a light
If you're lost then so am I
Take my hand I'll be your sign
I wake
From an everlasting
War, hate
And a condescending
False, fate
I'll wait
Fall in the fight and we'll all carry on
Suffer the darkness until the pains gone
If you're lost then so am I
Take my hand I'll be your sign
Follow the path that leads you through the night
Empty the sky and let it shine a light
If you're lost then so am I
Take my hand I'll be your sign
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh

Sleeping for an Hour
02:38
|

|
Waking with voices from inside
Singing the bad things from my life
They're shouting how I'm useless
Trapped here within a pit of thoughts
Wondering when it all will stop
I don't think I can do this
Don't let me waste your time
Trust me, I swear I'm fine
You don't have to buy me flowers
Don't let me waste your time
Out of sight, out of mind
I'm just sleeping for an hour
Stare through the glass as life goes on
They'd never guess that somethings wrong
I'm bound here by their judgement
These empty halls won't set me free
Eyes on the wall they're watching me
What part of this is treatment
Don't let me waste your time
Trust me, I swear I'm fine
You don't have to buy me flowers
Don't let me waste your time
Out of sight, out of mind
I'm just sleeping for an hour
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I don't want your therapy
No more tests
No more pills
Just stay away from me
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I don't want your therapy
No more tests
No more pills
Just stay away from me
Don't let me waste your time
Trust me, I swear I'm fine
You don't have to buy me flowers
Don't let me waste your time
Out of sight, out of mind
I'm just sleeping for an hour

You're not the one I've been dreaming
But then again I'm not sleeping
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one I've been dreaming
Gonna take me a while to get a grip on you
With every move I make you go and see right through
When you said I love you I felt that
But now I know your intentions
I hear them call out my name
I was the one left to blame
Stop
Show your teeth when I'm not looking
Play along but now I've had enough
It's hard to focus on myself
When everyone's out to get me
Show your teeth when I'm not looking
Play along but now I've had enough
It's hard to focus on myself
When everyone's out to get me
You're not the I've been chasing
But then again I've been wasted
You're not the one
You're not the one
You're not the one I've been chasing
Was I meant to die for your little lie
I can't bare to swim the waters you're surrounding
I hear them call out my name
I was the one left to blame
Show your teeth when I'm not looking
Play along but now I've had enough
It's hard to focus on myself
When everyone's out to get me
Show your teeth when I'm not looking
Play along but now I've had enough
It's hard to focus on myself
When everyone's out to get me
I couldn't find myself I found the truth
I couldn't find myself I found the truth
Here it is if you've ever wondered
What it's like to be going under
Here it is if you've ever wondered
What it's like to be going under
Here it is if you've ever wondered
What it's like to be going under
Here it is if you've ever wondered
What it's like to be what it's like to be
Here it is if you've ever wondered
What it's like to be going under
Here it is if you've ever wondered
Here I am if we're going under

Can you hear me scream
Can you hear me breathe
I've been sinking, over thinking
And every peer that I fear is predicting
That I'm gonna be just like you
I don't wanna be just like you
If I'm lying, and denying
Am I part of the picture defining
All the little things that you do
I don't wanna live the way you do
I just wanna be heard
You say that's just unheard
I just wanna be heard
Changes are the only thing that we'll need
Once I am through with you
The only hope that I'll break free
Changes are the only thing that we'll see
Once I am through with you
The part of you that's part of me
Can you hear me scream
Can you hear me breathe (No)
I've been sinking, over thinking
And every peer that I fear is predicting
That I'm gonna be just like you
I don't wanna be just like you
If I'm lying, and denying
Am I part of the picture defining
All the little things that you do
I don't wanna live the way you do
I just wanna be heard
You say that's just unheard
I just wanna be heard
Changes are the only thing that we'll need
Once I am through with you
The only hope that I'll break free
Changes are the only thing that we'll see
Once I am through with you
The part of you that's part of me
No we are not the same
No we are not the same
No we are not the same
No we are
No, no, no
Changes are the only thing that we'll need
Once I am through with you
The part of you that's part of me
Changes are the only thing that we'll need
Once I am through with you
The part of you that's part of me
Once I am through with you
The part of you that's part of me
Once I am through with you
The part of you that's part of me

If I could fly away
So I could change these days
Things would be better
Things would be better
If I could save my identity
Stop all of these tragedies
I would
Yes, I would
And it’s the will that holds me together
The sore sight of it all
It helps me comprehend
So I can understand what’s in front of me
So I don’t fall
Over and over we all start again
Then comes the time
To drop words of pretend
Over and over through all of the tears
Follow me now cause
There’s nothing to fear
If I could get away
Change who I am today
Things would be better
Things will be better
When I will check this reality
Live off all my memories
I’ll survive
Yes I’ll survive
And it’s the strength that keeps me together
I’m not lost in it all
Cause I can comprehend
And I can understand what’s in front of me
So I won’t fall
Over and over we all start again
Then comes the time
To drop words of pretend
Over and over through all of the tears
Follow me now cause
There’s nothing to fear
Over and over we all start again
Then comes the time
To drop words of pretend
Over and over through all of the tears
Follow me now cause
There’s nothing to fear
Whoa-oh
Nothing to fear
Whoa-oh
Nothing to fear

I can't seem to win for losing
I always take the blame
Every path I end of choosing
It all goes up in flames
I can't control my anger
No matter how I try
It leaves them pointing fingers
Like I'm some kind of bad guy
It makes it hard to see
This world and it's true colors
It makes it hard to find
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
When will this all be over
Wish I could say I'm fine
Don't need a doc to tell me
I'm colorblind
Nobody ever wants to listen
When I tell them what I see
I'm so sick of being broken
A lock without a key
I can't control my anger
No matter how I try
It leaves them pointing fingers
Like I'm some kind of bad guy
It makes it hard to see
This world and it's true colors
It makes it hard to find
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
When will this all be over
Wish I could say I'm fine
Don't need a doc to tell me
I'm colorblind
This world and it's true colors
It makes it hard to find
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
When will this all be over
Wish I could say I'm fine
Don't need a doc to tell me
I'm colorblind

We Ain't Shit...

I haven't been around the world
I haven't seen all I could see
I've played my hometown, Charlotte, Raleigh
Well that's good enough for me
I never thought that I would get the chance
To do the things I do
I never thought that I would make it through
We ain't shit
But degenerates
We ain't shit
But pop punk kids
We ain't shit
But our music is
We ain't shit
But pop punk kids

We're getting older
Getting colder
We've used the words before and over
Again
A million eyes have never seen it
They'll never know the perseverance
We have
If I could believe in me
If I could just believe in something
If I could just believe in me
If I could just believe
That we ain't shit, we're something

I messed up in the scheme of things
And now it's over like a high school fling
So let's rewind
With every line every word I sing
Could never fix the regret it brings
Let's turn back time
And you fake fake all that you wanna be
With a cold hard stab to the back I bleed
I take take all of the things you say
Like a grain of sand let it wash away
I won't walk the steps that retrace
So long to our time misplaced
No, no, don't bring me back again
No, no
I didn't know what I couldn't see
And that's the danger when you think you need
Some piece of mind
I wasn't sad when I set you free
But in the end you're a part of me
I left behind
And you fake fake all that you wanna be
With a cold hard stab to the back I bleed
I take take all of the things you say
Like a grain of sand let it wash away
I won't walk the steps that retrace
So long to our time misplaced
I won't walk the
I won't walk the
I won't walk the
Steps that retrace
And you fake fake all that you wanna be
With a cold hard stab to the back I bleed
I take take all of the things you say
Like a grain of sand let it wash away
I won't walk the steps that retrace
So long to our time misplaced
I'm twenty ounces in
And twenty to go
I'll turn this tomb to a home
If it's worth it
I'll pour my heart out
If it's just for the day
I won't let you and your ways
Scratch the surface
I think we need to retrace
We need a chance to rewind
Time will wash you away
If you're too far behind
I think we need to go back
To days when we could unwind
But I can't live in the past
With all our misplaced time
