If hearts were oceans and if stars were eyes
Then this storm would rage far beyond tonight
Am I ghost carrying a tune
Or am I just once step closer to lower the tomb
I’ve been stuck behind these walls I’ve built of mine
Wear the weight of this guilt like a concubine
Another sleepless night under a moonless sky
You never make your move so why the fuck should I
No more this is a a war
Take what you want and settle the score
Breathe life into these dying limbs hope is a virtue
With you it begins
We trace these lines for miles
But they lead to one way streets
No way for us to conquer
This ground beneath our feet
Hit the road like you never wanna come back home
I’ve seen this scenery so long its etched in my bones
My veins will be the compass on this wide and open road
No matter how much my heart can take my lungs will still implode
My lungs will still implode
Why can’t you see what this means our ship is sinking
I cannot breathe the, the clock is ticking
If I go home
Would you still be waiting there for me
Honest hearts and counterparts however so discrete.
Why sleep when we can dream (when we can dream}
Take it all and burn it down
Love is nothing but an anchor now
Take it all and burn it down
Love is nothing but an anchor now
We built it up just to knock it down
We’ve got to fight our way out
We trace these lines for miles /but they lead to one way streets
No way for us to conquer /this ground beneath our feet
Hit the road like you never wanna come back home
I’ve seen this scenery so long its etched in my bones
My veins will be the compass on this wide and open road
No matter how much my heart can take my lungs will still implode
My lungs will still implode
Why can’t you see
What this means
Our ship is sinking
I cannot breathe
The, the clock is ticking.

I've been here to many times
Constantly buried in your lies
No matter how hard you tried
To knock me down to your size
I see the spot lights as they fade
And colorful nights fade into grey
Am I just wasting away
In the bed I've made
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Your shadow will always follow you
And I will not back down
And I will not give in
Not for anything
I will fight for some breathing room
fight to heal all these wounds
Never forget
What's inside of you
I feel like I've been up for days
Fighting to find
The right things to say
Its not as easy
As I thought it would be to leave
Your eyes are way to blind
To see what you've left behind
You've got to take take take
Till there's nothing left in this bed that you've made
Running away
Your running away
Always afraid
Afraid of the day
Running away
Running away
Your Always afraid
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Your shadow will always follow you
And I will not back down
And I will not give in
Not for anything
I will fight for some breathing room
Fight to heal all these wounds
Never forget
Whats inside of you
I feel like I've been up for days
Fighting to find
The right things to say
Its not as easy
As I thought it would be to leave
Your eyes are way to blind
To see what you've left behind
You've got to take take take
Till there's nothing left
In this bed that you made
In this bed that you made
I am everything
You wish you could be
I am the very thing
You pretend to be

Feels like I'm loosing grip
My thoughts begin to slip
And its sick
Sick and tired of this shit
These voices in my head
They never fucking rest
I'll get all the sleep I want
When I'm fucking dead
I took the day you went away
To make my bed a better grave
Every single time I lay my head and pray
And hope for better days
I see the devil
Crawl through the fire
Dance with the wolves
There's blood in the water
And salt in my fucking wounds
And I've been burning down these buildings
The arsonist in me
I am tearing out the pages
I didn't care to fucking read
I am loosing all my best friends
And every street is just a dead end
I can't escape
And I don't relate
This is not okay
Realize the beast you've made me
Deep inside
I really hope you hate me
When all is said and done
I wear my heart on my sleeve like a loaded gun
Pull the trigger
And bite the bullet
Bury the past be on your way
Crawl through the grave
Your dead
There's voices in my head
All dead
I am still haunted
And I've been burning down these buildings
The arsonist in me
I am tearing out the pages
I didn't care to fucking read
I am loosing all my best friends
And every street is just a dead end
I can't escape
And I don't relate
This is not okay
What do we do with these empty spaces
The void we ourselves created
An eye for an eye
Fuck it i rather be blind
Then have to look my self in the eyes
Feels like I'm losing grip my thoughts begin to slip and it's sick
Sick and tired of this shit
We are the plague
We are The end of days
We are the end
We are the walking dead
Your dead
There's voices in my head
All dead
Your dead your buried living deep with your self
The truth you buried living deep within this hell

All of the liars asleep in their beds
Bury the hatchet it's off with there heads
Something's just have their way of leaving their mark
And that's the only reason I still wear these scars
This is all I have
This is all I know
This is all I have left
And I will not let go
Nothing's been the same
Not since the day you left
And this constant aching in my chest
All those words you said to me
They all stuck with me
With your hands tight around my neck
With every word that you placed in my head
All those
Broken glass houses and paper hearts
Put an end to this
All my anxiousness
Put an end to this
All this emptiness
I cannot let go
I can not let I can not let I can not let
Go of these memories inside my head
feels like I am screaming my self to death
Throwing stones at glass houses and tearing apart these paper hearts
This is all I have
This is all I know
This is all I have left
And I will not let go
Nothing's been the same
Not Since the day you left
And this constant aching in my chest
All those words you said to me
They all stuck with me
With your hands tight around my neck
With every word that you placed in my head all those words you said to me
They all stuck with me
With your hands tight around my neck
With every word that you placed in my head
All those broken glass houses and paper hearts
Put an end to this all my anxiousness
Put an end to this all my empty mess
I will not let go
I will not let
I will not let
I will let go

I can almost see
Waves crashing over me
The water keeps filling my lungs and I can barely breathe
How did I get here so far away from home
How did I find myself completely on my own
Cast my anchor
Sink like stone
Will I ever get home
All hands on deck
Brace for impact here comes the storm
Don't be afraid
The lighthouse will guide us through these stormy days
And I will light the way on this path we take through the sea of memories
Don't be afraid
The lighthouse will guide us through these stormy days
As I am washed away
I hope you hear this song
And always remember me
This is it for me
Darkness is all i see
And I refuse to be another casualty
Feels like there's an anchor constantly dragging me by my feet
I've got to find my way home to make sure you're not alone
So what the fuck did you think
You thought that I'd give up
So what the fuck did you think
I will never give up
Don't be afraid
The lighthouse will guide us through these stormy days
And I will light the way on this path we take through the sea of memories
Don't be afraid
The lighthouse will guide us through these stormy days
As I am washed away
I hope you hear this song
And always remember me
This is it for me
Darkness is all I see
And I refuse to be another casualty
Run
Grab your life jacket and jump
The ship is now sinking we're fucked.
