We climbed the highest trees And watched the world below. We hung our paper hearts With rope and sorrow. The ghost of who I was Still haunts this aching brain. This empty feeling's Getting hard for me to explain. The burden of the promises I never learned how to keep Makes me feel like the Ground will quake beneath my feet. I disintegrate Before I get the nerve to call cause I'm too scared to hear A voice ring through these empty halls. Well this is looking like the end. I'm saying bye to all the friends Who have ever had a care for me. If I'm going up in smoke, I'm making sure that I'm Proud of every chance I took. The burden of the future Always sends a chill down my spine. I'm driving down a dead end road, Ignoring caution signs. Rip out my epilogue. My future's still not guaranteed. Just throw all the ashes of my Confidence into the sea.

I'm a mess And I know that I wont be Anything more than this. "Just take deep breaths." Is all they can tell me But that just leads to stress. I'll try hard To paint on a smile Just for my parents sake. Everyone Seems to know where they're going but I just can't relate. Nothing's worse than Feeling all alone. I was cursed with A heart made out of stone And it drags me down. Down into this hole That I dug myself. Someone send me help.

I spent last night Writing songs about you. I spent my summer indoors Watching days just pass me by. And I know that it's sad But it's hard for me to understand That I just need to do Whatever it is that makes me happy. Take me back. Back to when days seemed a little brighter. Without these black clouds Stalking every move I choose to make. And I know that it's sad But it's hard for me to understand That I just need to do Whatever it is that makes me happy. I'm knocking down these walls Hoping to find some closure. With each brick wall that falls That feeling creeps a little closer. And I'm sure You've heard it all before. Same complaints. Just different metaphors. It's gotten to the point Where I can't feel happy anymore. I know that it's sad But it's hard for me to understand That I just need to do Whatever it is that makes me happy. I'm knocking down these walls Hoping to find some closure. With each brick wall that falls That feeling creeps a little closer. And I'm sure You've heard it all before. Same complaints. Just different metaphors. It's gotten to the point Where I can't feel happy anymore.

Well I know you wont believe Half of the words I have to say. But if you'd hear me out tonight It'll keep my mind at bay Because I'm running out of time And I'm here trying to figure out Just exactly what I want to say And what to talk about. Let's talk about the trouble That I've caused all of my life Or How I feel like an outcast Cause I don't believe in Christ. Or how I'm such a problem To the ones I hold so close. All the years that flew by me left me feeling like a ghost. So I take deep breaths when I start to panic. I'm still neck deep, Sinking in the Atlantic. All these long nights Are becoming a habit When I just want some sleep. I'm tired of building walls That separate my friends from me. I just wish I had a conscience With a voice of honesty. I know I've asked this question at least a thousand times. But I'm still waiting for an answer That should come with your reply. But all I hear is silence And it drives me up a wall. It reminds me that a hero's Something I don't need at all. What I needed was a promise that this hell would pass with time. Then maybe this would help me Find some fucking peace of mind. So I take deep breaths when I start to panic. I'm still neck deep, Sinking in the Atlantic. All these long nights Are becoming a habit When I just want some sleep.

There's nothing left for me here Cause you moved on. There's nothing left for me here so here's this song About how you told me that it's for the best. You say you love me. Well is that true? You say you're honest But you always stretch the truth. And It's clear. Your actions spoke louder than words. Tell me what you think about Every night before you go to sleep. Tell me what you think When you see my face Or when you hear me speak. How can someone love me when I don't love myself? My heart's collecting dust Just sitting on your shelf. And I still don't know How to be alone. There's nothing left to talk about And I have nothing more to say. It's clear to see that you've moved on And I'm here trying to do the same.

Please believe that I'm trying to be strong. I know how it seems When I'm singing these songs. But my emotions just Get the best of me. I feel like I'm floating on this dark and empty sea alone. I can't believe That this happened to me. White noise stuck in my head When I just wanted harmony. But I guess It doesn't come that easily. Happiness doesn't come that easily. Everyday, I Tell myself that everything's okay. But when I asked For sunshine, all I got was rain. It's pathetic The way I tremble when things Get out of hand. Have you noticed How my head is always Buried in the sand? It's always raining in the sunshine state. I want to stay But that would be a huge mistake. I take back Everything I said before. Everything I've ever said Is just broken glass Scattered on the floor.

I'm cool and calm like the ocean, And Im safe unless the monsoon comes. I know that you wouldn't let it. You know about the nights I've come across. I love when you smile. And when your hands run through my hair. But I've been feeling alone. Tell me that you'll always be right here. Just give me a reason To stay strong until the morning. You know that I need you. You keep me calm when I start to worry. And I know that it seems Like I've been drifting off into nothing, But stay with me please? At least until the morning. Please tell me you'll stay And tell me everything's alright. I've been rotting away. My future doesn't seem so bright. I took their advice. I've been counting every breath. And after tonight You're all that I have left. So please say you'll stay. The future fills me with panic. I'm worried that I'll be a disappointment. You know that I can't Stay still for just a moment. I love when you laugh And when your hands run through my hair. But I've been feeling alone. Tell me that you'll always be right here. Please tell me you'll stay And tell me everything's alright. I've been rotting away. My future doesn't seem so bright. I took their advice. I've been counting every breath. And after tonight You're all that I have left. So please say you'll stay. My world is ending. Cracking underneath my feet. My heart is made of stone Carved out of cold concrete. I've been pacing back and forth. I need to find some sleep. I can't believe that I made it pass these last few weeks. This troubled feeling just keeps coursing through my blood. The end is bittersweet. I can taste it on my tongue. If I could just find the hope That I had when I was young, I know ill find a way To kill what I've become.
