I’m living life like a bad season 2 Blackhole I’m on the edge of you I can see the end coming from a mile away Horizon, take me I don’t even mind (Oh man I’ve done it again) Eat myself alive (Like I’m not already dead) Hey, look, I’ll try Not to freak out like every other night But I’m scared alright? The light that’s up ahead Is just a trick inside my mind (The last thing that I wanted) I’m living life like its already through Dare not to make another move I can feel my heart sinking and you slipping away My grasp gone far away I can’t say I like Being caged in my head Let’s drive down 95 Whip it around the bends Hey, look, I’ll try Not to freak out like every other night But I’m scared alright? That the light that’s up ahead Is just a trick inside my mind But I’ll tame that side As long as I stand it For a minute of your time Imagine ourselves Living life right One blunder at a time

Mannequin I knew you then These words, I thought were true I loved a mannequin A picture on a wall (A picture on a wall) I walked a narrow line A tight rope, you’re taut, but coming loose And I’d fall into me each night Maybe I’ll catch some sleep If I don’t, it’s alright when We talk it Making everything worse than it has to be and I know you’ll Meet me in between Hell and the next worst thing When I walked away There wasn’t anything that I had to say yeah You told me We’re holding each other back so just drop the reins when We talk it Makes everything worse than it has to be I know you will Meet me in between Hell and the next worst thing

Cloudwalker 04:18

I’ve been trying to figure out Follow bands I like their sound Untied hands and I’m free now Ran up and kissed the sun You know you’ve been a cloud walker for so long Plug in and listen close You’re not tethered to the sad songs anymore Ease my thoughts and drown them out Talk to them like how they sound Black on white it’s all clear now Ran up and kissed the sun You know you’ve been a cloud walker for so long Plug in and listen close You’re not tethered to the sad songs anymore Redefine my own summer It takes me under Even on my own Tell me how it should be Ran up and kissed the sun You know you’ve been a cloud walker for so long Plug in and listen close You’re not tethered to the sad songs anymore Redefine my own summer It takes me under Even on my own Tell me how it should be

We burned And watch the embers fade It was my worst mistake To mistake you And I Lost my mind today At least I can say I’m lost with you I would smile through the strain to Dig you out But I will hold it till its breaking I need help So hold your breath and I will hold mine A little bit tighter And I won’t let it go Go Tear me up tonight And tell me everything is fine When we collide Left But I know you’ll be right And I know I’ll be on the ride To say I tried I would smile through the strain to Dig you out But I will hold it till its breaking I need help So hold your breath and I will hold mine A little bit tighter And I won’t let it go I would smile through the strain to Dig you out But I will hold it till its breaking I need help So hold your breath and I will hold mine A little bit tighter And I won’t let it go

Jim's Song 05:07
lyrics

Where do you go Once hell has froze? I didn’t see this coming I’d always dreamed We’d mend the seam That day we’d take off running Retraced the lines A thousand times I wanted to remember But these nights alone In our afterglow Won’t put it back together Nice guy lies All my 9-to-5’s When I’d rather die Than live without you What’s it worth When my best won’t work Should I leave this town, Move on without you? My body wades Through your tidal waves I’ll waste the rest of the summer When what’s long been due’s Come back to you It’s such a goddamn bummer I ought’ve known But my eyes were closed In dark or light, I’d stumble By my demand You’d guide my hand But was it worth our trouble? Nice guy lies All my 9-to-5’s When I’d rather die Than live without you What’s it worth When my best won’t work Should I leave this town, Move on without you? Slam the open window Board all the doors shut and run, run, run

Going Home 03:25

There must be something to hide Away from my tired eyes Day after day you shift away Your head pulls up And the silence breaks “How could you do this to me” “How could you hurt me so bad” Honestly I don’t really care I’m tired of holding you back “How can you live like this” Swallow my words as the dam just gives (forgive) Stuck with my own dead weight (only to find out i’m okay) Slipped my mind I’m a blank slate, it’s a White on white contrast (present nor past) You’re a bit obsessed (Let go of my stress) Can’t you see I’m trying my best (Trying my best but who asked) Why don’t you give it a rest And she said “How could you do this to me” “How could you hurt me so bad” (How could you hurt me so bad) Honestly I don’t really care I’m tired of holding you back No matter what you think I’m trying to fall asleep No matter how low you sink I’ll never be what you need I honestly don’t care I’m tired of holding you back “How could you do this to me” “How could you hurt me so bad” (How could you hurt me so bad) Honestly I don’t really care I’m tired of holding you back (Tired of holding you back) No matter what you think I’m trying to fall asleep No matter how low you sink I’ll never be what you need I honestly don’t care I’m tired of holding you back (Tired of holding you back)
