Well it rained today Harder than in the past year Everything feels the same Yet I still don't belong here To bend and break A true Mistake The test of time To keep you Safe I never thought we'd fall this hard Let's embrace for the impact It's all my fault I pushed too hard this time I care too much But my reasons without rhyme Take it all back everything you said Can't let that shit go to my head No crutch to lean on It was all game No one's ego is that important What a shame what a shame Throw the towel in baby I forfeit I love you more than the sheriff in handcuffs What goes around comes around Miss private eye always calls me on my bluff I know that you're feeling the sound

It’s hard to get a grip on a slippery slope And convince yourself that you’ll stand tall It’s hard to throw away methods you used to cope And not think that everything will fall It’s harder when you fall mad in love with someone That you’ll never get a chance to see And then your life becomes a big countdown to none Of how many promises you keep Seems so simple stayin' in Seems so simple Seems so simple stayin' in line Oh we talk about meeting in the middle Yeah we talk about meeting in the middle Yeah we talk about meeting in the middle 'Til we have to choose a side I’m trying to keep tabs as it all comes unfurled But distractions make for such good fun I could become a man in this fatherless world But I feel no need to be a son So I let myself fall mad in love with someone That I’ll never get a chance to touch But I need to connect when I’m under attack There, to me, promises don't mean much! Seems so simple stayin' in Seems so simple Seems so simple stayin' in line Oh we talk about meeting in the middle Yeah we talk about meeting in the middle Yeah we talk about meeting in the middle 'Til we have to choose a side We have to choose a side We have to choose a side Not everything can be a compromise

I know that your jealous, I know you're vindictive, But you were the root of it all. Cause you got the sickness of playing the victim, and hoping to cushion your fall And I can see right through you, Everyone else will soon, But the truth is the excuses that you're using, They're useless. So abrasive, always too complacent, Too caught up in, all the games you're playing Frustration, exaggeration, manipulation, that's not what I do, yeah. I wish I would've seen this coming back from when we began, You never stop to think about anyone. Always expecting me to fall into the palm of your hand, I know this time I've had enough. You take what you want But you can't have it all Never content with just breaking your fall, Always demanding and planning, yet not understanding you were at the root of the cause Dragging my name every time we're apart Rip through my chest just to stomp on my heart, Feeling the pain, you deserve it, you're worthless, don't try and come back with the sympathy card You take what you want but you can't have it all Never content with just breaking your fall Always demanding, yet so uncertain, You're finally feeling the pain you're feeling worthless I wish I would've seen this coming back from when we began, You never stop to think about anyone. Always expecting me to fall into the palm of your hand, I know this time, yeah this time, I've had enough. And when you're crawling back to me for an open door, Hoping to twist me round your finger again once more Just know that I am not the same as I was before. I am not the same as I was before.

A distant memory From before the world fell apart You were my everything But you left me to rot in the blight I had to get away Find my path in the resonance You can beg all day You're all alone in the malevolance I am one and I'm right here I am stronger till I disappear I've lied here hopeless since you stole my dreams But now I'm merged with the stratosphere I've become the order in the chaos Your pity life means nothing to me Listen to the prophecies of Amos Darkness'll be the price for your greed My mind has started to ascend I'm giving up on you That sweet heart is already blackened I don't care about existence anymore I am one and I'm right here I am stronger till I disappear I've lied here hopeless since you stole my dreams But now I'm merged with the stratosphere This is my elegy My own transcendency This is my elegy This is my elegy

The light is fading fast when you start blowing up my phone I know that you've been drinking, you're so different when you're drunk alone So get that idea out your head Cause I am not the one you need I mean everything I said You can never lean on me And I won't always be the one to tell you when you've gone too far I won't have to waste my time explaining away all these scars Your voice is pleading crying promising you've changed But it's so hard to take your word when you've got so much whiskey running through your veins

listen, listen, listen, listen to your heart and every word that it's gotta say cause if it's in your blood then its understood you gotta leave when you can't stay well i know what i want is it what you want too? what do you believe? escape with me in the streets, avenues, and the boulevards feel alive in the city at night cause life after dark it lights that spark and it beats living in the light well i know what i want is it what you want too? why leave it all be? escape with me it's getting late and i trust you with whatever we must do to make distractions disappear it's not over it's never ending my future just beginning now everything is looking clear gotta go, gotta go, hit the road right now catch a train on a one-way track getting outta town when there's no one around gonna leave and never look back well i know what i want is it what you want too? gotta be free escape with me escape with me escape with me escape with me

Come inside Take a look around my sick mind Let me know if you got, if you got what you were trying to find Do you feel better now now that you know you’re not alone Do you feel better now Cause I don’t Don’t avoid this conversation Don’t do this on your own Don’t ignore the affection You’ll miss it when it’s gone What does is it take to make you listen to these words I say Why is all the love I’ve given being thrown away I threw it all away Stayed inside to prevent someone passing by Just wasting time gazing at that rope to tie I’m sorry You were right and saved my life Burn the nooses It’s a knot that we don’t need Burn them I’ll get back on my feet Don’t avoid this conversation Don’t do this on your own Don’t ignore the affection You’ll miss it when it’s gone What does is it take to make you listen to these words I say Why is all the love I’ve given being thrown away

Cue the rats, chew me sober, I'm in debt, you're in clover, I've been saved from all your plans, Never gave a second chance, Pulling teeth, going hungry, Feeling dead, testing boundaries, Look me in the eyes, you freak, Nod your head and we're home free, I have tried so many times, You're only one, Singe the air, we don't like it, Don't ask me, I'm no psychic, People stare, we all know why, Bat an eyelash, balk the eye, Camping out in your backseat, I've indulged in your red meat, Put the fire in it's place, Spit the flu in my face, I have tried so many times, I'm out of mind, I'm used and left behind, You've drawn and crossed the line, I'm in debt to you, So beat me to the ground, And kick me while I'm down, And run me out of town, I'm in debt to you, You're only one, Sorry state, you're redacted, You get paid while I'm distracted, Toe the line and follow through, Tie me up with stupid rules, Have no fear, I'm your savior, Don't look down, you can't change her, Suck it up and swallow proud, It's raining heads from the clouds, I have tried so many times, You're only one
