Drifting 01:51
You're drifting far away from me I'm finally free But I still dive into the sea The wall between It's tearing me apart to be always switching teams I know you're not the one for me but still I bleed

Take It On 03:47
I've run away from these responsibilities for too long, but i'm ready now it only took a life time to figure out that only I can see the person I can be But I know that I'm ready now To see the why when I've been looking for the how I've been looking for the how I can't shake it off, so I'll take it on I can't shake it off, so I'll take it on Theres so much more to see of what's inside of me And I'm sure that I can bring it out I'll find the words and I'll shout them out loud Then everyone will see the person I can be And they'll know and be ready, now to find the why when they've been looking for the how They've been looking for the how I can't shake it off, so I'll take it on

I see the way out but this is just beginning Every new word that I shout is an anchor that I'm sending To the bottom of the ocean of this town I thought that I'd eventually come around But I'm more than content working 50 hour weeks if it means that I can be where I want to be every weekend instead of away from all my friends I know it's hard to understand And it looks short-sighted or wishful But looking at the sun set over Wisconsin Writing songs and getting by That's all I could ask for I've been in this neighborhood for as long as I remember I've been told that it's no good and I should venture onward I could just get out and find a new beginning but if I gave up now it would be my dreams that I'd be sending To the bottom of the ocean of this town I thought that I'd eventually come around But I'm more than content working 50 hour weeks if it means that I can be where I want to be every weekend instead of away from all my friends I know it's hard to understand And it looks short-sighted or wishful But looking at the sun set over Wisconsin Writing songs and getting by That's all I could ask for But at times the air grows thin and I think about what could've been If I'd gone away and did what they say Would I be more than what I am today? It's not too late to pick up slack I could walk away without looking back I might even get my life on track but what would I have if I couldn't say that I'm More than content working 50 hour weeks if it means that I can be where I want to be every weekend instead of away from all my friends I know it's hard to understand And it looks short-sighted or wishful But looking at the sun set over Wisconsin Writing songs and getting by That's all I could ask for

You pretended I had a chance like this was part of the dance like we were seventeen and starting just to hold hands But that's never what it was to you It was nothing till you said it was through But then it started to show that I was food for your ego with every compliment I watched your head grow I was never more than nothing to you It was something then you tell me we're through So now I'm cutting you off from me I'm getting to old to be dealing with your stupid insecurities And I don't need anything from you I think you're getting too old to be acting like you're seventeen leeching off your so-called friends So it's time to grow up and put your teenager games to an end You say you're just going out for a bit and you'll call me when you're leaving but it never works like that I wait till one in the morning It's a familiar story So now I've wasted another night and you're telling all your lies coming up with all these stupid alibis But I know what the truth is You got drunk and didn't give a shit So now I'm cutting you off from me I'm getting to old to be dealing with your stupid insecurities And I don't need anything from you I think you're getting too old to be acting like you're seventeen leeching off your so-called friends So it's time to grow up and put your teenager games to an end I'm getting so fucking tired of sifting through all these liars So now I'm cutting you off from me I'm getting to old to be dealing with your stupid insecurities And I don't owe anything to you I think you're getting too old to be acting like you're seventeen leeching off your so-called friends So it's time to grow up and put your teenager games to an end So now I'm cutting you off from me I'm getting to old to be dealing with your stupid insecurities And I don't owe anything to you I think you're getting too old to be acting like you're seventeen leeching off your so-called friends So it's time to grow up and put your teenager games to an end

Stay Young 03:14
I'm not scared of getting older I'm scared I won't stay young And with every day that passes I'm running out of chances to prove myself Is this the one (is the one) Is this the product of everything I know Is it better than before Will it be met with more Than apathy and indifference Does it make a difference? I know I shouldn't care what you think But the truth is that without you I'd sink I've been forgotten too many times To believe that you'll be around forever Now you see What you've done to me Now you see Why this needs to be the change I need Now you see What you've done to me Now you see I don't care that I'm getting older I care that you're still gone And with every day that passes you're running out of chances to prove yourself Were you the one (were you the one) were you the one that I need to be complete? I'd be better than before we could have so much more than what you left behind I'm not scared of getting older I'm scared I won't stay young

I'm counting down the days I'm counting down the hours Until you cure the illness that's been growing in my head This desperation, I just need some motivation But every night it's still a fight between my body and my head Cause you mean everything to me But I'm just so sore from knocking at your door And I can't take it in stride anymore I think you're better off leaving me down on the floor because I know you now and it'll never be like before It'll never be like before It's been so many days It's been so many hours Since I thought that you'd come running back to me I was waiting for you to come running back to me But I guess you're gone for good I still think that I should let you know that you're not alone I guess I'm alone And I can't take it in stride anymore I think you're better off leaving me down on the floor because I know you now and it'll never be like before It'll never be like before I can't take it in stride anymore I think you're better off leaving me down on the floor because I know you now and it'll never be like before It'll never be like before

Setting Sail 03:57
I've been told that I'm making a big mistake I'm throwing my life away for nothing I've been told I can't do everything I set out to do I'm gonna do this just to prove it to you You're just a hoop that I'm jumping through I'm sick and tired of hearing all the ways that it could fail I'm setting sail for something big I know what that entails I know it won't be easy but I'm a sucker for pursuit Discouragements are nothing more Than fuel to find the truth about this world and what I need to keep living in it so I'm not gonna waste a minute I've been told that I'll never make a name for myself My life will culminate with dust on a shelf and that I'm lost and that I need to find help I'm sick and tired of hearing all the ways that it could fail I'm setting sail for something big I know what that entails I know it won't be easy but I'm a sucker for pursuit Discouragements are nothing more Than fuel to find the truth about this world and what I need to keep living in it so I'm not gonna waste a minute Now I stand painting pictures with the broad stroke of my hand It's finally a prize within my grasp and my ambition's going nowhere fast

I think I'm starting to see it now the way it works when I'm not around I'm just a joke that you tell your friends and I don't think I wanna make amends I think I'm starting to see it now the way you thrive putting others down you're just a pest that's inside my chest and I don't think you really know what's best I know you're not what's best for me But it's so hard to simply be at home alone each night I feel so helpless, it makes me reckless I've tried the last three years to see what it means to mean something to me but I'm still alone at night I feel so reckless, I'm fucking helpless There's still a light in the darkness of the tunnel you seem to be above I know there's so much more than the bullshit you've been fighting for I know you're not what's best for me But it's so hard to simply be at home alone each night I feel so reckless, I'm fucking helpless

Sinking 04:11
I'm slowly sinking I'm falling down into a pit of stagnation I'm a glutton for damnation and it's getting hard to stay around where I grew up it doesn't seem like it's enough to pull me out of bed each morning and get me through the day My conversations resonate in my head I can't escape from first impressions or what I should've said It's hard for me to let it go when I could've done so well Instead I'm where I started Feeling sorry for myself Am I still sleeping Am I awake Am I just dreaming Or have I changed? I'm starting to see what I've been told My whole life and it's making me feel so cold This place I've grown to call home is just that and it won't keep its promises or keep your life on track I'm slowly sinking I'm such a flake deciding who to become am I the one who's got the story or the one who gets things done when I look into the mirror I see questions staring back do I keep pursuing ghosts or is it time now to turn back Am I still sleeping Am I awake Am I just dreaming Or have I changed? I'm starting to see what I've been told My whole life and it's making me feel so cold This place I've grown to call home is just that and it won't keep its promises or keep your life on track This ocean's swallowing me whole I can't tread water anymore I'm ready to get out now If only I knew how Am I still sleeping am I awake am I just dreaming or have I changed I'm starting to see what I've been told My whole life and it's making me feel so cold This place I've grown to call home is just that and it won't keep its promises it won't keep its promises

Time Alone 02:13
I'm stranded on an island in the middle of the sea calm but deadly water surrounds me I've called you out so many times that I can barely speak it seems that no one's listening to me I begged for stable ships but couldn't control my loose lips and now I'm waiting here for someone to rescue me Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? I know I have to find somewhere to go But I'm kind of enjoying the time alone I'm living on an island in the middle of the sea Calm and tranquil beauty surrounds me I used to scream and shout and ask what this is all about but there was no one listening to me Where do I go from here? Where do I go from here? I know that I should find somewhere to go but I'm really enjoying the time alone.
