Breathe 04:38
Breathe with me Feel my air Who am I? Who really cares? Do I even matter? Is there purpose out there? I have so much love With whom do I share? I can't hide this wear and tear, but I don't hide it. I don't care. None of this fucking matters, I don't care. I was the tallest mountain standing high but this was only cause my friends were by my side, now they're gone off with the wind. It's finally time for me to look in. I was just a kid to have loved and lost I was just a boy Who will bear this cost? Will you be there waiting? Will you be there? Do I even matter? Who will be there to keep me breathing? I can't hide this wear and tear, but I don't hide it. I don't care. None of this fucking matters, I don't care. Awoken by nightmares, eruptions in my head Dreaming of the day when I wasn't better off dead Where is my backbone? Are sex and drugs the only thing that ever fucking mattered? Barely nineteen and all my motivation has been shattered I've been living like a piece of shit despite you In all honesty I just don't know what to do Will you be there? Do I even matter? Who will be there to keep me breathing?

I have these pictures in my head that I can't paint with words I have these choices in my life that people think are just absurd My life is such a contradiction like I'm busy doing nothing, just waiting and wishing This watch it ticks but still time hasn't healed a thing Why don't you feel the same? I try and keep my head held high but I've got nowhere to go The empty bottles hide the feelings that I'm too scared to show I'd tell you all of this, but I'm sure you know So I'll just spend the days wasting away There's so much beauty in the way she leaves The way you walk away, it's haunting me I never knew it'd get this hard to breathe, without you here helping me

Sorry 03:02
I get lost so many nights I get lost so many days Barely living with no means for an escape I refuse to live my life this way If my passion's strong, will my heart not fade? Carry my burdens and free my ways You're the one who kept my darkness away She said I love you, I said I love you too I just wish that one day I could learn to love like you I can see it in your eyes when you look at me The distance from who you are and who you want to be Speak out, a cry for help To a heart, that has never felt Speak out, a cry for help I'll keep on searching I'll keep on moving I will not give up This is my life I own my actions I know the road is tough Your words of wisdom Your heart of gold In your life I trust We used to speak about forever I swear one day we'll be together Home The heart Nothing will tear us apart I will not lose control, this life is my own
4.
It's time to disregard all feeling and let my head drift into the ceiling Before the weight of the world I'm kneeling I'm sorry for never being good enough for you Just too much of a mess for us both to compromise Let me be what you could never be Don't let his mistakes impact me Don't become what you hated I'm not the man you were Don't worry I learnt it wasn't your fault Just a product of your environment I can't hate you for that You don't have to let the scars he left impact you forever Don't take what you could never achieve out on me After all you gave me, love is love and blood is blood Fuck being successful, I just wanna be happy I can't move past the mirrors gaze because my reflection is in the way Is it safe to say that I have strayed from my old ways? Years spent vacant without a care Is it finally time for me to belong here? This isn't a song of hate or retribution I just wanted to say one thing It's okay, I forgive you.

Teeth 03:33
So take my hand and write for me For I am hopeless at these things Words spitting nonsense among nonsense A hopeless poets cry I was stuck here for days Wading through a never ending haze Are my words worth hearing? Is any of this endearing? So bite my lip and pull me closer in Steal the words right from my mouth Cigarette stained teeth, spit tainted words Help me rearrange these words to paint pictures in your brain that will make you feel the same as me What the fuck is there to write about? Love is all I write about I remember the night I never knew I could feel love Cigarette stained teeth Never looked so good I try and push it out but it all feels the same Is it my hands or head to blame? I held your hands, our bodies warm from liquor Move an inch closer, the least bit bitter I try and push it out but it all feels the same Love is all I write about I remember that night dancing to the smiths I've never felt a love like this Never leave Stay here with me In serenity

Mother 02:20
I was so starry eyed I had my hopes up high They always said "you'll shine" I guess one day I'll try My mother said that men don't cry, she had my hopes up so high
