Good Intentions Giving Way

Good Intentions 03:22
lyrics
I woke up today after 8 hours of sleep exhausted and spent like my adolescent streak (maybe some day I'll be young again) It's getting so hard to do the right thing, I'm coming apart at the silver lining (maybe one day I'll sleep when I'm dead) Oh I've got no place to go this place has taken everything from me and I couldn't feel more alone Most nights, I end up hating all the things that I've become/are coming undone Nothing changes, nothing gets better. what have I become? Turned my youth into a paycheck, blew it all on growing up and spent it all too fucking quick Is this what it's all cracked up to be? good intentions giving way to loneliness (so what left for me?) Most nights, I end up hating all the things that I've become/are coming undone Nothing changes, nothing gets better. what have I become? Is this what it's all cracked up to be? (sleepless nights and apathy) I lost a year to the routine. am I the man I thought I'd be Most nights, I end up hating all the things that I've become/are coming undone (turned my youth into a paycheck and I'm never growing up) Nothing changes, nothing gets better. What have I become? Is this what its all cracked up to be? Good intentions giving to loneliness Most nights, I'm coming undone.

Landmarks 02:33
lyrics
Is it a lie to say I'm happy with the way things all turned out? and looking back I'm proud of where we've been I had that same dream (where I know how the puzzle piece fits) But I just cant reach it anymore It's getting harder to keep my head out of water accept that I have grown I've been chasing pavements nightly searching for some clarity and a place to call my home Its sink or swim with concrete at my feet (head underwater) I wonder when the end and I will meet Every night that I cannot sleep it gets harder and harder to chase my dreams (When they're fucking chasing me) It's getting harder to keep my head out of water accept that I have grown I've been chasing pavements nightly searching for some clarity and a place to call my home I know I'm over my head, I know I'll never relax If every step I take is just 2 steps back Time is wasted away spent swallowed in fear Will I be stuck in my head or will I disappear? It's getting harder to keep my head out of water accept that I have grown I've been chasing pavements nightly searching for some clarity and a place to call my home

Wandering 02:31
lyrics
I'm tired of living like we're kids and getting so much less than what I give And I wander these same streets every other night just wasting all my time (wasting all my time) Will I live to see another day or will this fucking pressure bury me? I feel the weight on my shoulders, feet sink an inch into the ground with every year older. am I losing ground? trouble seems to find me I can't run away from mistakes I let them define me. not lost, not found Will I live to see another day or will this fucking pressure bury me? All my blues are quickly turning grey. I'll take the blame for everything I guess something is better than nothing Take it or leave it I guess most things are better than nothing Maybe one day I'll see it I guess nothing could be better than somethings I'll take the blame for everything

Hope 04:04
lyrics
Life's been falling out of place I've got to find some sort of grace Meeting time after time with my inner me Letting the worst get the better part of me Can you see? I hope this somehow gets to you I'm so far away Caught up in my own way Sweet son of mine one day you will understand true love Tell that to the poor boy who bled out his heart and cracked his teeth Falling for a dream that didn't mean a thing I hope this somehow gets to you I'm so far away Caught up in my own way I pray you some how find a place Settle and give in Grant this only wish Don't you go write me off just yet. I've been taking this on for far too long Telling my insides where they need not be, it's not really hard to see Life's been falling out of place I've got to find some sort of grace.

Redondo (feat. Anthony of Seasons Change) 03:07
lyrics
Honestly I don’t know where I’m going but I’ll miss you when I get there There may not be a highway that can bring you to me (buried alive by every road sign but I need something to call mine) I hear the places I haven’t been calling my name And now I dream of all the roads and maps and how I’m never coming back The days are cold I feel alone and everything gets old When nights don’t change I feel ashamed of how I got so old I hear the places I haven’t been calling my name And now I dream of all the roads and maps and how I’m never coming back I’ve seen this place in my dreams that everyone says I’ll never see If that's the case well then I’ll pray that I die in my sleep

Fireflies 03:40
lyrics
Everyday is nothing new to me. I'm looking forward to a time When I can tell you that I don't miss a thing About your smile or your stupid face, The jokes weren't funny but I laughed anyway I laughed anyway I'm hating life and how you ruined me Ever since you crawled into my heart And dug your way into my brain (Get the fuck out!) Liar, liar you set my hopes on fire When everything I love comes crashing down I swear I'm trying harder and harder To get through this smarter Don't meet me in montauk Cause I will be long gone Used up like a toy Thrown in the chest with all the other boys But you never locked it Got out when I had a chance Built a plan I could withstand It was never worth it You were never worth it And now you ruined me Liar, liar you set my hopes on fire When everything I love comes crashing down I swear I'm trying harder and harder To get through this smarter Don't meet me in montauk Cause I will be long gone I will stay far away With the bones that I break and the fingers I bruise From the tip of my tongue to the heels of my shoes My days have been turning from grey to blue This is me forgetting you For every night we could have slept We were busy making promises I knew we'd regret I'll let the last words you said Burn like a jar of fireflies inside my head

Daisy 03:17
lyrics
3 o' clock in the morning I should be asleep but these dreams come without warning I'm another promise you couldn't keep divide the time we spend behind enemy lines where I'll never coincide I try to find the words to say but nothing comes to mind I don't ever want to feel this way again I'd part the tide for you But you never let the light shine through Well feelings change, people grow I just thought I'd let you know you won't find me waiting, keeping hold I can't shake this sinking feeling when I'm awake (I'll sleep tonight no matter what you say) I don't want to be a back pocket memory (I know you'll sleep tonight with or without me) Now I'm 6ft under the weight of the world and your body on my grave sent up the river, you watched me float away you are the daisies on my grave.

Giving Way 03:35
lyrics
I've lived through the longest nights in my entire life Sitting in this cold room, waiting for the sun to rise (I have nothing) left to smile about So let me fall asleep, it rains here all the time now You waved 'hello' in my dream again Am I awake or sleepwalking? Remember when we said we'd live forever? Can we take it back (I wanna take it back) It seems like we're always Running out of time, second guessing wrong from right And how I'll keep up when I'm so close to coming undone I've seen the light of day and it's not looking very bright for me Is it too late to save my own neck or am I to be another wreck? We were born daydreamers turned into gravediggers Collapsing brick by brick Remember when we said we'd live forever? Can we take it back (I wanna take it back) It seems like we're always Running out of time, second guessing wrong from right And how I'll keep up when I'm so close to coming undone Talking to myself again In words I cannot comprehend Falling in and out of sleep Miles from recovery Am I awake or sleep walking? Will you visit my dreams again I just need to hear you say Someday I will be okay I think I'm losing it These walls are closing in I won't let this Tear me apart again Remember when we said we'd live forever? Can we take it back (I wanna take it back) It seems like we're always Running out of time, second guessing wrong from right And how I'm keeping up when I've already come undone
