I hope everyone that you know Won’t turn away when all your scales show High hopes of meeting all the right folks Are they worth the stakes when all your mates go? Guess you could say you wished away your days What did you say with all your parts to play? I hope everyone that you know Won’t turn away Won’t turn away Won’t turn away, no Goodbye, I’ve gotta go I’m feeling like your better nights are cold I tried to tell you so It’s feeding time, there’s nowhere else to go Guess you could say you wished away your days What did you say with all your parts to play? Goodbye, I’ve gotta go I’m feeling like your better nights are cold Spend all your time together Only to find you never The bigger the prize, the better Eyes will tell ‘em Geared for a life together Sinking and tied forever You can try to tether Only time will tell ‘em Goodbye, I’ve gotta go I’m feeling like your better nights are cold I tried to tell you so It’s feeding time, there’s nowhere else to go

I couldn’t tell you where the days went All I know is what the chase meant And I would give it all up just to live it all back again The chords for the first part A heavy chorus for a heavy heart And I would give it all up just to live it all back again I’ve been playing these songs all night ‘cause I’m trying to find the words I lost Feeling like I’m sixteen, I was seen to scene You know, you know, you know, you know The world and it’s demands Couldn’t hold me in it’s arms It’s weight of all the laughs I’ve been growing up too fast I’ve been swimming with the sharks Just to get to mountain tops I’ve been playing these songs all night ‘cause I’m trying to find the words I lost Feeling like I’m sixteen, I was seen to scene

I’m home Empty bars, a new facade, a darker tone I’ll sit this one out Go ahead and pick your fights I’ll be around I’ve grown Nothing like the black and white of what you’ve known Not my place to show Picking hands and tired plans Another town Hey! Are you making promises and never living up? Hey! Are you ever honest when you never give enough? Hey! Are you making promises and never living up? Are you still? (x2) It falls Another chance into your lap, another day There’s no back way out So shine your crown and think about what others say These feels The symptom of the smallest pond A cloud of scales I know you’re so scared So take a sip, remember what your parents said What your parents did Hey! Are you making promises and never living up? Hey! Are you ever honest when you never give enough? Hey! Are you making promises and never living up? Are you still? (x2) None of your days spent Could tell what your face meant All of the days spent Could tell where the space went Hey! Are you making promises and never living up? Hey! Are you ever honest when you never give enough? Hey! Are you making promises and never living up? Are you still? (x2)

On the fence, I confess Take your time without all the stress Medicine, I forget Days and nights are blurred into mess Every now and then I pretend Just to see the smile on your chin Once again I defend And crawl back in my backboneless skin I promise you now that I’m on it You’re acting as though I don’t want it As if you have always been honest (x2) On the fence, I confess Take your time without all the stress Medicine, I forget Days and nights are blurred into mess My keeper, my tonic Sedate me, I’ll bomb it I knew what you wanted (I see you) Your number, I’ve got it Your details, your bullshit The lack of a conscience (I see you) (x2) Get up, get up Get up, get up Get up, get up (I see you) Get up, get up (x2) My keeper, my tonic Sedate me, I’ll bomb it I knew what you wanted (I see you) Your number, I’ve got it Your details, your bullshit The lack of a conscience (I see you) I promise you now that I’m on it You’re acting as though I don’t want it As if you have always been honest (x2)

Still here coping, hoping I was wrong Stay clear, open, never strong Closer Are you listening? I am closer every day, I'm learning Try pretending you don't need a thing Watch me give it all away for free Spending all my time chasing fireflies Spending all your time hiding And this wasn't what you wanted And it never quite is Like everything you never said is getting And everything you never did is coming And whatever happened to breaking the pattern? It's like it never mattered to you Closer Are you listening? I can feel it, every day we're getting Closer Are you listening? I can see that every day we're getting Closer, closer Closer, closer (x2)

Lies, more than once or twice Dressed in your excuses A part of your routine I helped you fix your broken lights And all that’s in between From the friendships you discarded To the colours on your screen I can tell you what it’s like Living as an insect Sitting in your hand Cupped to hold my many feet While you pull off my wings Denying me the right to flight The worst I’ve ever seen I know you’re ready to repent So I’m leaving through the backdoor Should I leave, should I leave? This place is like a graveyard Killing me, killing me With trophies of your love What’s left of those who made it out Oh if my brain was in my guts I can’t believe I stuck around to pass the time Just know that I’m still in repair I know you’re ready to repent So I’m leaving through the backdoor Should I leave, should I leave? This place is like a graveyard Killing me, killing me With trophies of your love What’s left of those who made it out Oh if my brain was in my guts I can’t believe I stuck around to pass the time Just know that I’m still in repair Should I leave, should I leave? Killing me, killing me I’m still in repair Killing me, killing me

Everything and everyone Fading over time As everything we’ve ever done Streams from yours to mine Deep into the night Thinking how we’d just begun Traces there to find the things we should’ve overcome Anchored in my mind’s eye, we choose to fight Beneath you, beneath you Hand on heart, I can hear the pride of lions call Hand on my heart, hand on my soul, we fall Hand on my heart, I can tell you I feel it all There’s a beacon up ahead Words don’t make a sound Never speaking up again Faces all around, all asounded now Ears are filling up with sand The world can see you now, and everything you can’t defend Take it to your crowd, go and take a bow Beneath you, beneath you Hand on heart, I can hear the pride of lions call Hand on my heart, hand on my soul, we fall Hand on my heart, I can tell you I feel it all See those waves from the words we saved Crashing down for days, while I’ve been down for days There’s no place for how you behaved But I can count the ways, coz I’ve been up for days I have this feeling that I’ve never really ever had I’m climbing ceilings in these places where I never have Still I know you better than you do (x2) Better than you do Now I’m in a place where I can erase this I’m in a place where I can erase this I’m in a place where I can erase this I’m in a place where I can erase this I’m in a place where I can erase this

I know your heart’s still in the past All I want is to know you It may be so, I stand alone But I can wait coz I’m down for you now Through the tears and the pain and the snow I can tell that you already know That the wind, it can change all the lows You’re an opening sign when you’re closed When you say you’re not here I won’t showcase your fears Just know I’m around You take your time, I’m here all night I wanna know all about you Patience aside, I made the drive You are the reason that I’m out tonight I know your heart’s still in the past All I want is to know you It may be so, I stand alone But I can wait coz I’m down for you now Through the tears and the pain and the snow I can tell that you already know That the wind, it can change all the lows You’re an opening sign when you’re closed When you say you’re not here I won’t showcase your fears Just know I’m around I know your heart’s still in the past All I want is to know you It may be so, I stand alone But I can wait coz I’m down for you now There’s no way I’m unscathed I want you to be safe (x3) (I’m ready now) Are you ready now? I’m ready now I’m ready now Through the tears and the pain and the rain and the snow (x2)

Breathe out The world at your feet again Reprieved like you never had sin See I’ve held weight like it was mine to bare And I’ve felt days and nights with no one there I’ve licked wounds until there’s nothing left I did it all without love Slow down I can barely keep up with you Been running circles like only you do So how did we ever get into this Half a year out and never been missed See I’ve held weight like it was mine to bare And I’ve felt days and nights with no one there I’ve licked wounds until there’s nothing left I did it all without love See I didn’t know that you’d come around I wasn’t prepared for the lost to be found I shouldn’t have started, I should’ve been fair I hear you completely (It was the last thing on my mind) To deceive you? Believe me But I need you to read me (x8)

Everything we could’ve had Was lost inside that burning room Still I knew you were bad Under a hunter’s moon A drop of blood into the see Painted nails and sharpened teeth No other curves on earth Could have this hold on me Sliding doors that never worked Reflecting promises at worst Still, I’d have you for life And I’m still here Been too busy making plans To notice where the other stands Consumed by lack of sight This waxing crescent moon Someone said this wasn’t right Tinted shades from better nights A burden for your love This moth into your light When everyday looks like a mess With labelled boxes of regrets I’d still have you for life Now, where are you? A deep breath from your wet mouth To something that you left for dead In my chest, expanding proud A piece of what we can’t forget (x4)
