You only see in black and white
You know the truth is coming out at some point
(You know the truth is coming out at some point)
He laid the cards in a straight line
The room grew silent as he read my fate
One thousand fucking lies
And you have told them all
(you have told them all)
So where should we begin?
What lies ahead is worse than where you’ve been
This life you’re leading has got to end
Hung up on things that ended years ago
Because you’re far too weak to just let them go
They never cared about me
To stop the pain you tried to fill the space with someone else
And then you did what you do best
Took everything they had till there was nothing left
I don’t know where I went wrong
Pitiful plead with fate
It’s in the cards my friend
I fear it’s far too late
Nothing can be done now
You’re not as sly as you thought
You can’t escape that which you have wrought
(You can’t escape that which you have wrought)
I never thought this is the way it would be
I see my whole world crashing down around me
A glimpse of what’s to come
A sense of what’s to be
Every misstep coming back to haunt me
A glimpse of what’s to come
A sense of what’s to be
But even knowing couldn’t have saved me
Blind, Blind,
Every misstep coming back to haunt me
Blind, Blind,
Even knowing couldn’t have saved me

So sick of talking to myself
Can’t you hear me
It’s like the words I’m saying
Have no meaning
These thoughts are poison
They’re killing my head
You ignore my whispers
So I’ll shout instead
I feel dead
You’re killing me with all the
Words you never said
I feel dead
I don’t know why I gave a fuck in the first place
These thoughts are poison
They’re killing my head
You ignore my whispers
So I’ll shout instead
This was your chance
And you just threw it away
Now there’s nothing
Left but a hole
In my chest where my
Heart used to rest
This doubt will suck me dry
This doubt will end me
Oh god please help me
It’s unbearable
(Don’t say I was right to think you’re ashamed)
I can’t take it anymore
(You built up walls high around me)
Time’s crawling
(days turn to weeks turn to months turn to)
And I’m wasting away
My will starts to decay
You only think of yourself
At least that’s how it feels
Keep on saying that it’s fine
But I don’t think it’s real
I hold on waiting for this all to pass
But it’s been four months now
And I don’t think I can last
Check check
Can you hear me now
(Can you hear me now)
You’ve said your lines
It’s time to take a bow
(It’s time to take a bow)
I’ve lost a lot of my time
Trying to wait for you
It’s time you come to terms
With what you have to do
Hang me out again
Lead me
I’m yours again
Days turn to weeks turn to
Time’s crawling
(Days turn to weeks turn to months turn to)
And I’m wasting away
I’m finding out today

So many years
I feel too much
This is something that time can't touch
Do you still think of me?
Because I think of you
And how it had to end
It's what we had to do
But with each passing day
What I feel still survives
And the distance between us
Still eats me alive
I've tried so hard to move on
But I still feel the same
How can I let this go
When it's a part of me?
And the worst of it all
We got so close but we
Disconnected
Torn apart by our circumstances
Degenerated
Lost my way but
My hope remains
I close my eyes, the miles fade
I dream, I see your face
Forget the space between
You're still the one I need
I close my eyes, the miles fade
Forget the space between
You're still the one I need
Don't let it sink too deep
Forget the space between
Maybe one day
All of this will change
Leave it all behind
Every single fear
And this won't be so
Hard for us
Forget the space between
You're still the one I need
I close my eyes, the miles fade
Forget the space between
You're still the one I need
I'll sing this song until I die

Regret
Forced by a disconnect
Suddenly silence made so much sense
I lost a piece of my soul that night
And it will never return again
(Never)
And I will never be whole again
My eyes
Bleeding heat on the dashboard
My vision fades as I press the pedal down
Trying to run myself into the ground
Cause I was not the one
Forced to escape from what’s ordinary
My heart became a burden
I was forced to carry
So I let it die
No longer tied to the thread of feeling
I let it die
Cause I was not the one
This brought me to a loss of touch
It ripped a hole that I can’t shut
And I’m so low
No words were said
Silent glances spoke
Our faces shrouded by our breath like smoke
It’s time to go
And with an emptiness echoing through my mind
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Here we go again
Another night spent staring at the ceiling
Lost in thoughts again
I wish that I could keep my brain from reeling
All I see is the last memory you gave to me
And with an emptiness echoing through my mind
Goodbye

Soak me in
Hide me in your skin
Take all my pieces and
Make me whole again
I’m just a wasted soul
My fire’s burning out
Even daylight’s seeming dark again
I need another rush to stoke the flame
Cause there are days I get so lost that I
Can’t remember who I used to be
Fading ash clouding my memories
So many times I’ve seen myself walk this path
And each time I pray that it will be my last
My demons circle around me
But I won’t let them win
I’ll force them all to go
Maybe the space could help me grow
When life is looking grim
It’s all we see
We lose faith in ourselves
When all that we are
Is all that we have
I let the ones on the outside
Determine who I am within
When you let them take ahold of you
You can never win, no you can never win
But that all ends right now
I’m gaining ground again
So throw it all away
I’ll make it all brand new
The tension’s easing up
I feel a soft wind blow
A warmth inside my chest
As the embers inside start to glow
Burn, set yourself ablaze
When you’re rotting away
When life is looking grim
It’s all we see
We lose faith in ourselves
When all that we are
Is all that we have
Now it can only go up from here
This chapter is at an end
The dust is settled around me
And I can finally breathe again
