Exit Wounds 02:47
lyrics

I've been building a disaster Made of white lies that I've mastered Took a long time to decide I needed to leave before I died Put aside my misguided pride so I could let my eyes adjust and Fade away out of focus I can feel the times replay times I felt like I wasn’t so Stranded looking for an exit but found one here so breath and let if fill your lungs like it's just air So, let's try to leave together We don’t have to stay forever Winds have shifted but the patterns they all seem to remain the same If I'm not growing then I'm dying and only have myself to blame Fade away out of focus I can feel the times replay times I felt like I wasn’t so Stranded looking for an exit but found one here so breath and let if fill your lungs like it's just air Its deceiving That the feelings always fleeting So, I'll give chase just one more time and Fade away out of focus I can feel the times replay times I felt like I wasn’t so Stranded looking for an exit but found one here so breath and let if fill your lungs like it's just air

A Better Place 03:04
lyrics
To whom it may concern, I think I'm better off today I’m so far away from the black cloud that was following me Well I shared your fear, thought I'd lost my way But I've been released from the fog that's crowding my brain The shame, the guilt, the suffering, that only I felt A way to get back to where we all want to be Part of me is screaming “there's no coming back” I want to ease the suffering And have no worries about the things that I still lack I’m in a better place, A calmer state of mind The only help I need is putting this all behind Help remove the noose from round my neck And help me find a place to dump this misplaced regret The shame, the guilt, the suffering, that only I felt A way to get back to where we all want to be Part of me is screaming “there's no coming back” I want to ease the suffering And have no worries about the things that I still lack It's never too late to take back what you said To rid all of the demons that congregate in your head I left because it hurt, I left because it burned me And all the worn-out rules that you made they don’t concern me now The shame, the guilt, the suffering, that only I felt A way to get back to where we all want to be Part of me is screaming “there's no coming back” I want to ease the suffering And have no worries about the things that I still lack

Myopic 03:05

Times turned its back on me Is there something I’m supposed to be Or am I just here without reason? Don’t give up hope on me Help me believe, I'm meant to be So much more Let this bed ease my burdens Until it collapses under the weight The honesty’s been choking me The mirror reflects the misery My life’s been etched in this routine I'm set for failure Times turned its back on me Is there something I’m supposed to be Or am I just here without reason? Don't give up hope on me Help me believe I’m meant to be So much more Patience rolled its eyes at me Told me not to drag my feet (There's no light in my room Just the weight of regression compressing my chest in And I swore that I’d try to ease the burden this time) Times turned its back on me Is there something I’m supposed to be Or am I just here without reason? Don't give up hope on me Help me believe I’m meant to be So much more

In Stone 02:26

I was told we start the same Atoning for someone else's shame Was told I was a dried up well But your lies were all too hard to sell I wanna know, what does it feel like, to be the blessing that I could never be? Ill choose to grow away from your light, away from everything that has to be Set in stone I'm prepared for the unknown Keep building this great divide While I strive to find what's real inside Your mouth is making the commands Yet the bloods still somehow on my hands I wanna know, what does it feel like, to be the blessing that I could never be Ill choose to grow away from your light, away from everything that has to be Set in stone I'm prepared for the unknown let them sing their same song, but I refuse to sing along, I watched my back for way too long I wanna know, what does it feel like, to be the blessing that I could never be Ill choose to grow away from your light, away from everything that has to be Set in stone I’m prepared for the unknown

Dug 03:28

I watched as your soul left your body I watched it as it floated through the door And your dad was quiet to keep from sobbing As we gathered round you on the floor Now I hope that you can forgive me for the tough decisions that were made that day And I know that you didn’t mean to leave us with a love that couldn’t be repaid I watched as your soul left your body But they all said the feeling wouldn’t last I never got the chance to say I’m sorry That we grew up but you grew old so fast Now I hope that you can forgive me for the tough decisions that were made that day And I know that you didn’t mean to leave us with a love that couldn’t be repaid But I saw the hole they dug for you And in my heart that hole was dug for two And I’m still buried We filled you in with loose dirt and cement To keep the animals from getting in To keep a safe home for my friend You’ll always be the love in me that I breathe The sky won't be as bright without you today I saw the hole they dug for you And in my heart that hole was dug for two Cause I’m still buried I saw the hole they dug for you I saw the hole they dug for you And I’m still buried
