Up Late 04:22
Outside with the light from a lantern Tripping over the bar where I set my standards Let it all become The epitome of a night with good fun Spending money without a profit More fingers on my hands than cash in my pockets The laughter's loud and toxic Chorus: Stories of the glories parents in their forties They have a lot to tell but I'm not listening well To all the warnings mistakes are rewarding As far as I can tell (2x) we're growing up young Evenings full of harsh words and banter Higher than the bar where I set my standards Not at all withdrawn The basement again with all the good songs Your faces, I can hardly look at Between all of the drinks and smiles and snap backs I never want to leave (I never fucking want to leave here) Chorus (1x) We're growing up young Up late no regrets Feel no shame for sleeping on the floor again Last call place your bets I don't think I'm ever coming home again (2x) Chorus (1x)

Car Door 03:04
We lay far in the back of the hotel safe in my car with the back row down Here's the lines I should not say I fear my mind is stuck on replay Like back when you would stand in the way of the car door You'd beg me to stay we could take it farther You said you felt a way and I felt it harder Conclusions we write with a fight at your dorm Chorus: But it's leaving me to be the one to break my own fall Left with the recoil as its presence is clawing at my jaw One more say is another way to pass it One more fragment to leave in the pass tense You set the stage for a scene with no hope The script is fading and the lights they follow The lines obscene and unfair A dream in your eyes for me a nightmare Fate lies violent through the bedroom door Where I find you both lying on the bedroom floor All the signs misread all the lies ignored Insides are turning my eyes are burning I'll take step back and fall lost from rhythm Like a heart attack with no second chances given A psychopath when I say "I swear I'll kill the kid" I take it back now I see you'll never be worth it Chorus (1x) It's all in pieces, it's on me I wanna say I'm sorry And to pieces, were falling I'm telling you I'm sorry Chorus (1x) I'm left to break my fall, I'm not the one at fault

If I could only hear out of these ears Flashes of insecurity leave me in tears Weaving bad social strands with all my peers Held back from success because of these fear I can't seem to get my life together Every time I pick things up, they trickle through my hands like sand (my hands like sand) I guess this personality sickness will last forever If only one of you could hold my attention span Your pain's real Mine always has been Can you feel It's like your mentality's flawed Your made of steel You lack the common sense to feel the slightest lick of sympathy You mean absolutely nothing to me now Your life's perfection leads to misdirection Like myself you strive for connection But with your relations come no inspiration Don't tell me that your actions hold any reason When everything seems to fall apart I still hang onto the parts to stay in tact (to stay in tact) We were best friends, your betrayal cut Deeper then the problems you attempted to treat equal Your pain's real Mine always has been Can you feel It's like your mentality's flawed Your made of steel You lack the common sense to feel the slightest lick of sympathy You mean absolutely nothing to me now You can find me In the darkest corner Bereft of drive and Left a hoarder Of the feelings I Have left to gather And your to late to be seen a friend (2x) I implore you keep distance from me (so stay the fuck away from me) Your pain's real Mine always has been Can you feel It's like your mentality's flawed Your made of steel You lack the common sense to feel the slightest lick of sympathy You mean absolutely nothing to me now

You heard me on the phone You know I'm all alone Trying to cope with everything you said to me I'll let you off the hook Don't take a second look The embarrassment is absolutely killing me Remember when we layed On monday afternoons Now I barely even talk to you I swear I'll quit Admit your sick Chorus: Adhesive strip, lose it's grib on me and you I think I'm falling in to Another hole, I guess I'll just go I guess I'll go drown with you ooh ohh I guess I'll go drown with you I heard you crying out Cursing at the clouds Begging for a better hand Atonement is a gift Reparation isn't quick You're a liar and you'll pay for this You want me to forgive But these things just take time And there never seems to be quite enough You say it's luck I don't give a fuck Chorus (1x)

Stability 04:19
Could I ask for some much needed sleep The moans from your room serve to defeat My eyes from closing and your drinks from ruining Every single thing we have sought to keep Your promises are dirtied, and your assurances are cheap Don't cry out your apologies they mean nothing to me Your a knife cut deeper into the skin, can you see That being passed out on the floor holds no worth To anyone, to me Just be who you said you can be I thought this would be easier I was wrong You haven't been here For so long Chorus: My hope rises from the ashes of every event you burn down Callous some may say, but I know you are lost waiting to be found Clinically unpredictable Condescending, unreliable My sleepless nights are a figment of the past But the fear that your swig won't be your last Fills my mind like a flame, one that catches much to fast Saying that you've changed is just not enough I can't refute you , I'm just not that tough Questioning every statement spewed from your mouth my time with you has involved so much doubt The blame is on you, and on you alone, opportunities were wasted And every chance with me, you had is blown I thought this would be easier I was wrong You haven't been here For so long Chorus(1x) Interlude~ Chorus(1x)

Members Only 04:18
The distance from the street sign to your door seemed to stretch on so much longer than before And the steps I used to climb as a child Seemed to diminish with the events that arise Chorus: All you left was a knife and no letter (I've been saying rest in peace, I've been saying rest in peace) I could have helped, I could have done much better (I don't think I'll ever sleep, I don't think I'll ever sleep) Now I'm stuck wearing your old sweater I can't remember what you said, i can't get you out of my head I think i'll put it on regardless of the weather Call me empty but I'm not hallow Cut ties with guilt and fucking swallow The pain you feel, it won't dwindle like a fire Dying slowly I am so damn lonely Without you here I can't seem to face my fears Because you taught me how to be a man Now my understanding is buried in the sand Chorus(1x) I want to go back to a time Where you didn't resign on everything And left it behind I guess I'll say I'm alright I guess I'll say I'm just fine I'll be alright I'll be just fine I miss the shelves of pictures that you had that now hang in my garage I feel like everything that happened was just a mirage I've been saying rest in peace, I don't think I'll ever sleep I've been saying rest in peace, I don't think I'll ever sleep I've been saying rest in peace, Why wont you get some sleep

Conceited everyday You're walking circles around me My eyes are dimming The paint is thinning My lies are getting the best of me I falter when I walk I'm trying hard to talk the talk I don't know how to end it Your in it to win in it And I'm just rolling the dice My chest is getting heavy Yet you still expect the envy Of everyone else Of them wanting us And I'm just left to resume You are the moon I am the tide I bend to you You think that's fine Chorus: It was a waste of time We fell apart at the side where I couldn't keep my end up (I'll be alright) I never kept my end up (I'll stay home tonight) It happens every time I'm pennies and nickels Fragile and brickle Now being stuck to resume (I'll be alright) There's too much space in this room (I'll stay home tonight) Enticing compliments And timeless incidents A maze of clear intent, it's evident, but you're hesitant so stay And you can haunt me till I'm empty Write the wrong words end the story Keep the screen on cuz it's tempting And I won't be long don't worry I love the way you lie when you meant it And instigate with higher intentions I'll be alright I'll stay home tonight It's way too late and I'm tired but tempted I'm on my way so retire your defenses I'll be alright I'll stay home tonight Chorus(1x)

Ruminate 03:16
Don't be surprised When I reform the bags that clothed my eyes I still think of your smile It's painted on the ceiling of my bedroom That night the nicotine haunted me Every in take reminded me of everything That was taken That was taken Chorus: And I try not to think about it But yet it still keeps playing over in my head Over in my head again I get lost around it Because it's seeming like I'm in over my head In over my head again The acts were needless and dense But we use them spite the consequence To you it never made sense I'll always care for things at my own exspense If I'm reaping what I sow Then I'll take what I can borrow And stay here 'til tomorrow And stay here If I'm reaping what I sow Then I'll take what I can borrow And stay here 'til tomorrow And stay here 'til tomorrow And I try not to think about it But yet it still keeps playing over in my head Over in my head again I get lost around it Because it's seeming like I'm in over my head In over my head again If you saw what kind of a rut I'm in Maybe you'd have no choice but to jump in To you it never did make sense (To care for things at my own expense) To you it never did make sense (To care for things at my own expense) And I try not to think about it But yet it still keeps playing over in my head Over in my head again I get lost around it Because it's seeming like I'm in over my head In over my head again (The acts were needless and dense But we use them spite the consequence To you it won't make sense I'll always care for things at my own exspense)
