Last Year 00:26
Consumed by fear of unknown demise With bad attitudes we do collide I can’t think of something better to do Then spend this last year with you

Vessel 02:12
With my arms stretched reaching for the stars I don’t know anything I don’t know anything at all The thought that you were here for me What a laugh, had your back Now I’m dying on the floor Yeah you left me to die on the floor Somewhere between gray and red You said, “what’s in it for me?” You said, “that’s it for me” And I don’t blame you Just wish you’d told me the truth Just wish you’d told me the truth Lights out This body’s merely a vessel to carry us along I just never thought you’d jump Take this distraction as a reaction So much harder to care for someone like you So undecided, so indecisive So much harder to care for someone like you All I know, I will grow Moving passed this, an open book On further reflection we’re not that close Not too close Take this distraction as a reaction So much harder to care for someone like you So undecided, so indecisive It’s so much harder than I care to explain to myself

I must have fucked this up, I don't wanna lie But I couldn't bare to see it If I die before tomorrow Might as well say that I tried Traffic jams hold me back I’m surrounded, I can’t believe it Remind me what I did to deserve this? Just trying to get from A to B I feel the loss Don't want to say goodbye now We've been feeling under pressure Over it for good this time This whole world is tightly winding People running left to right I want to fuck this up, I don't wanna lie But i couldn't bare to see it If I die before tomorrow Might as well say that I died I’m haunting you Fuck this! And I feel the loss Don't want to say goodbye now You feel like I blew it I feel like I’m a ghost

Flash back to ‘09, I know so long ago Thought the world was in the palms of my hands What a joke I can’t forgive myself for the things I did and said back then It never ends No house on the hill, no picket fence It takes what it takes ‘til the ceiling breaks No one leaves till we figure this out Halfway in or halfway out now I keep trying, keep my head above ground Abusing trust like it’s a pastime Won’t you take back the thought that you could live anyway? Don’t let some fuck tell you how to think or how you’re supposed to live your life It’s up to you No house on the hill, no picket fence It takes what it takes till the ceiling breaks No one leaves till we figure this out Halfway in or halfway out now I keep trying, keep my head above ground Abusing trust like it’s a pastime The good news is it’s all on you The bad news is it’s all on you The good news is it’s all on you The bad news is it’s all on you It’s all on you You prayed for this It’s all on you You prayed for

We Fail 02:57
When I think about this life, it’s nothing new It scares me when I look around And see nothing but a divide And suicidal thoughts I knew There’s no generation to blame Just mankind We’ve been lied to since day one I cannot care for anyone Are we just a shame in such beauty? I know it’s true, we fail I know it’s true, we fail It’s nothing new that we build it up to burn it down It’s nothing new that we build it up to burn it down I feel lost, I feel lost I feel lost, I feel lost I feel lost, I feel lost There’s no generation There’s no generation I won’t act surprised when all that’s left is ashes Shameless, weakness, cutthroat, honest Why do we fail? Why can’t we live together? Shameless, weakness, cutthroat, honest Why do we fail?

Hard to Cope 02:29
I’ve become someone you don’t love We were more than friends This divide is ruining both our lives Can’t we just agree to disagree? Not close anymore it’s hard to cope I didn’t lose a friend, just never had one Sometimes you win, sometimes you get bit It’s time to move on from This treachery Never gave up on you I’ll find a way to let this go someday Can’t forget the knowledge that you left Buried in me I wish I could return it Not close anymore it’s hard to cope I didn’t lose a friend, just never had one Sometimes you win, sometimes you get bit It’s time to move on from Yeah I’ll say it, I thought you were my brother Turns out you’re just another goodbye I thought you were my brother Turns out you’re just another goodbye “I keep my friends much closer than my enemies,” What a stupid saying “I keep my friends much closer than my enemies,” What a stupid saying I thought you were my brother Turns out you’re just another goodbye I thought you were my brother Turns out you’re just another goodbye “I keep my friends much closer than my enemies,” What a stupid saying “I keep my friends much closer than my enemies,” What a stupid saying
