Acceptance 03:04
Looking back on these few years, I feel like I caused all the damage here. I cried but couldn’t shed a tear. Harboring all the memories that we rearranged. When you believe in something a different way, take me back to that simple place where I saw fate, stare me in the mirror yesterday. He had nothing to say. Looking back now I’m calling all my oldest friends, to see what’s left to be repaired and trying hard to make do and mend. It never worked out. All my hopes were sent into the atmosphere. Take me, take me far away. If I saw you today, what could we say? Could it all be saved? If I saw you today, what could we say? Could it all be saved? How did it come to this? I hope no damage can be done today. I hope these words will find you in a better place. If it’s all over now, can we accept the way things change? Can we? What can we say? What can we say? Cause we’re so young and fully ignorant. It never worked out. Cause we’re so young and fully ignorant. Cause we’re so young and fully ignorant. Yeah, we’re so young and fully ignorant.

All The Same 03:40
It’s three A.M. and the light’s still on. No one’s home, everybody’s gone. It’s almost eight but I’m still awake and something’s not right. I feel at home in a parking lot. Chasing dreams, give it all I’ve got. So place your bets even though it’s a long shot. Something’s not right. Are you strong enough to rise above the ashes? Are you strong enough to get back up on your two feet? Are you stronger than the ones who came before you? Are you strong enough to believe? It’s all the same. Nobody’s different in their own true way. With California screaming out my name, it’s all the same. But now, my life feels scripted like it’s written for me. It’s on my mind, it happens all the time. But no. These idle hands are mine to carry and build a world where I’m alright. My life mine. A burden heavy knowing I’m the captain, anchored down to a sinking ship. So place your bets, but you know it’s a long shot. It’s all the same. Nobody’s different in their own true way. With California screaming out my name, it’s all the same and it’s such a shame unknown to friends by any other name. When California seems so far away it’s all the same. A burden heavy knowing I’m the captain, anchored down to a sinking ship. So place your bets, but you know it’s a long shot. Are you strong enough to rise above the ashes? Are you strong enough to get back up on your two feet? Are you strong enough? Are you strong enough? I gave my life to this. If I was gone would I be missed? With nothing left, how can I let it go? It’s all the same. Everything is all the same. With California screaming out my name, it’s all the same. Are you strong enough? Are you strong enough?

Running Away 03:27
Darkness fills my room. It's all that waits for me when I get home tonight I'll just fall asleep every day, feels like it's just on replay. My home's an empty nest. Surrounded by the dreams of what I was, what I'm not and everything I could have been if I held on a little longer
,
 and when I talked to Vince he said one day he'd wake up and decide what he'd do with his life and stop all this hiding. From a truth we all know burns deep inside of our souls.

We're running away from a truth we've buried inside. We're running away on a search for a brand new life, maybe it's not our right to choose.

I can't believe it happened again. It feels like I must have lost my mind, every time I trust myself to fight and handle my own demons.

So don't save me. There's no way I can survive. Don't wait for me. We'll make it out of here alive.

We're running away from a truth we've buried inside. We're running away on a search for a brand new life, maybe it's not our right. We're running away.


"Those who strive to touch a star, often stumble but a simple straw. You have been weighed. You have been measured, and you have been found wanting." (Quote from the movie, "A Knight's Tale")

We're running away from a truth we've buried inside. We're running away on a search for a brand new life, maybe it's not our right to choose.

60/40 03:51
Lately, I’ve been feeling a little unseen and caught in the middle. Unclean, as I cling to my brittle thoughts. It got so bad and it got even harder. Neck deep, couldn’t go to my father. My mother’s around but it never feels like she’s home. Face down in the dirt by my brother. Let down, wishing I had another. No one had my back at twelve years old. (Why now?). A sister stares. She doesn’t care, a mom who’s never really there. A broken heart, a broken home. I’m forced to face this on my own. So if I’m wrong, why won’t you just tell me? But I don’t think that I’m the one to blame. Is everything my fault? Is everything my fault? I do. Isn’t it what you said, when you were young and newlywed. You said for better or for worse. (The worst keeps coming.) A broken vow. I don’t know how you could let each other down. Without trust, there’s no light to lead the way. Where there’s a will, there’s a way to set you free. But my legs can’t carry me. I know I’m not the one to pick up the pieces. Is everything my fault? Is everything my fault? Though I’m happy here for now, I’m looking for a storm in every cloud. Is everything my fault? (The worst keeps coming.) (But I don’t think that I’m the one to blame.) My fault. (You could let each other down.) My brother made amends and I’m his best man. My sister’s states away, but her love is always sent. My mother finally came home to the family. My father was always there to catch me. So as you lie awake tonight staring at the sky and the moonlight, with no one left to tell you it’s alright, waiting for the sun to rise. There’s so much left to live for in this life. Not every wrong will come to see a right. And everybody thinks so much easier when you’re young. When you’re young. Is everything my fault? (I know I’m not alone.) Is everything my fault? (Picking up the pieces.)

House Party 02:54
Sometimes I think I’m better off without it. Sometimes I feel the world revolves around you and I just can’t find a place inside. I left my friends behind, forgot them for you. Now I’m alone. I'm stuck I need a little help. (Yeah.) So cut the lights, cut the brakes, cut the bullshit. You know you’re lying. Don’t deny it. You’re so full of it. And every time we talk, I’m sick of you. I need a place to calm down. So meet me in the backyard and we’ll talk this out. I’ll get you through this and we’ll laugh about all the problems, and sing songs we used to sing. (Whoa.) So shake off all this stagnant complacency and leave it all in the past. And take all of these arrogant statements as a sign of a second chance. So meet me in the backyard and we’ll talk this out. I’ll get you through this and we’ll laugh about all the problems, and sing songs we used to sing. (Whoa.) (So meet me in the basement.) Where the parties would start at two. (And all the late night car rides.) Eleven hours to the next venue. Do you dare believe in me? Because I believe in you. I believe in you. So meet me in the backyard and we’ll talk this out. I’ll get you through this and we’ll laugh about all the problems, and sing songs we used to sing. (Whoa.) (I’m not waiting for you.) So meet me in the backyard and we’ll talk this out. I’ll get you through this and we’ll laugh about all the problems, (I’m not waiting for you) and sing songs we used to sing. (Whoa.)

Anger 01:43
It’s fucking May and it’s freezing. And I’ve been stranded in Jersey, in a broken down bus. And the air that we’re breathing, (it's toxic) from busted pistons and blown out spark plugs. My dad says, “It’s time to just come home. You can’t stay in Jackson all alone.” But I don’t think that we’re gonna go. Because Mike and Lou, were lost inside the venue, and Jake doesn’t have his phone. (So get this.) Brian’s still so fucking sick,Zach’s at home and no one gives a shit about. About how, we’re gonna get home. (Tonight) Will we ever get home? Will we get home? We’ll never make it home This was never about make or break, and we can fucking take it, so long as it’s dished out. Nothing in this world was ever easy. You’d best believe me. I’ve been where you are now.

This is how it ends. Another night of hopeful reminiscence of every single place we’ve ever been. (I’m coming home.) I hold the keys to all the locks but they just never seem to open up a door. I’m not one to complain but I’m at it again. (But I’m at it again.) And everyone loves a hero. (And they would say it but, they wait until it’s just too late.) We’ve got our whole (Whole) lives (Lives) left to be boring. All this dreaming, all this touring left me wide awake, always ignoring. Our whole lives, left to be angry at the inconsistent misfortune of these nights. It’s the story of our lives. I saw the western skies of Cali. The oceans in Miami, but now these four walls that surround me leave me wide awake and working. I’m a slave to my devices, just a shell of what I was. I can’t tell my family that I love them just because I’m never home enough. I’m not one to complain but I’m at it again. (But I’m at it again.) And everyone loves a hero. (And they would say it but, they wait until it’s just too late.) It’s too late. We’ve got our whole (Whole) lives (Lives) left to be boring. All this dreaming, all this touring left me wide awake, always ignoring. Our whole lives, left to be angry at the inconsistent misfortune of these nights. It’s the story of our lives. We left our homes behind us. A dream fulfilled blood, sweat and sacrifice. Should darkness come between us, then in the night we’ll write the story of our lives. (Save yourself) Turn it up a little louder. (Save yourself) I can’t hear it, no. (Save yourself) Turn it up a little louder. (Save yourself) We left our homes behind us. A dream fulfilled blood, sweat and sacrifice. Should darkness come between us, then in the night we’ll write the story of our lives. (Save yourself) Turn it up a little louder. (Save yourself) C’mon, C’mon, C’mon (Save yourself) Turn it up a little louder. (Save yourself) I turned my life into a dream. I made my dreams into reality. It caused a nightmare in itself. I turned my life into a dream. I made my dreams into reality. It caused a nightmare in itself. Another place another scene, there’s never really been a home for me or a place to save myself.

I’ve seen it in the ending. Let it be. Hard to take. And I’ve seen a new beginning. Could it be a loss of faith? Is there an answer to the question? (Are you listening?) I fill myself with regret. Panting hard and deep breaths. My hands together, on my knees because now I’ve lost control. You tell me you don’t see this. Now, say it like you mean it. Everything I thought I knew was just what I was told. So obvious. I’ve seen it all before. A devil hides inside your eyes, it hypnotizes, a wolf in sheep skin or cheap disguises. If I’m wrong than I’m not sure if I’ve found the answers I’ve been searching for. My heart is beating faster in the wake of this disaster. Scattered thoughts and endless thinking of all that I’ve done wrong. Another hook, another line. A different beat to keep in time. You held my head under the water, and now it won’t be long. And even if I break all ties and follow my own path into destruction (If there’s not a question, there can’t be an answer.) I wonder what it feels like to be knee deep in belief. It’s where I want to be. So obvious. (I’m holding on.) So obvious. I’ve seen it all before. A devil hides inside your eyes, it hypnotizes, a wolf in sheep skin or cheap disguises. If I’m wrong than I’m not sure if I’ve found the answers I’ve been searching for. The Devil. The Devil’s in the details. The Devil. The Devil’s in the details. The Devil. The Devil’s in the details. The Devil. The Devil’s in the details. The Devil. (The Devil) The Devil’s in the details. (Are you listening?) The Devil. (The Devil) The Devil’s in the details. (Are you listening?) The Devil. (We’re not the ones you thought you knew before.) The Devil’s in the details. (Demons, they prey beneath the sidewalk) The Devil. (When idle hands begin to truly form.) The Devil’s in the details. (We’ll find a way to make it out alive.) The Devil. The Devil’s in the details. In the details.

It never was the plan to meet up at the bar at three A.M. So good to see you man, but not under these conditions. I don’t know what led you to think we can’t help. What was so bad? You brought a family to their knees. But like the weather outside, it always gets better. (Always gets better.) But things will never be the same. (Let it go. You can’t always take the blame.) Tell yourself you’ll get through this. (There’s better days ahead.) No, I won’t let this pull me down. Don’t give up, don’t give in you’re never alone. (Just be strong and hold on and you’ll make it back home.) We need to hold together and pull each other up. So leave it in the past because good times never last. I’d be mad, but life’s just way too short. Despite the fact, I miss you every day. I look for some way out but I know it’s not my way. I don’t know what to do. I just don’t know what to say. You left us all in pieces. All we know is breaking. But like the weather outside, it always gets better. (Always gets better.) But things will never be the same. (Let it go. You can’t always take the blame.) Tell yourself you’ll get through this. (There’s better days ahead.) No, I won’t let this pull me down. Don’t give up, don’t give in you’re never alone. (Just be strong and hold on and you’ll make it back home.) We need to hold together and pull each other up. We got to hold together and pull each other up. On and on and on and on it goes. On and on and on and on it goes. But like the weather outside, it always gets better.

Van Life 02:29
I feel so suffocated. You put me through this, you know I’ve waited (Waited for so long.) for a chance to make this all seem right. But every time I leave you I never get the chance to say I’m sorry, but I’m not coming back this time. I never thought I’d be an ordinary kid with an ordinary dream. And I never thought I’d be still living in my parent’s house at twenty-three. It’s the van life for me. I know it’s hard right now for you to comprehend. But every choice I make and all of my mistakes I don’t have to defend (Signals fade.) All the signals fade, they point to a day that will eventually break us apart. But I can’t change my ways. I can’t change. I never thought I’d be an ordinary kid with an ordinary dream. And I never thought I’d be still living in my parent’s house at twenty-three. It’s the van life for me. I found home in a van, now this is my life. It’s so fucked. I’ve been confused and the absence of sleep has got me smiling through tears, singing soft melodies. And I’ve been still haunted by all these ghosts of my past. One more chance now and I swear this will last.
