Verse 1:
Do you think that I deserve this?
I didn't know that I could hurt this much
I’m trying hard to find a purpose
But I’m a mess and i just miss your touch
Verse 2:
Everything feels so uncertain
You left it all up in the air this time
I took a look behind the curtain
And saw the mountain you refuse to climb
Chorus:
Life’s not a staged movie
There's not some grand ending
Go cherish the setting
I’m not worth betting
Roll the carpet out
Marionette my corpse
Verse 3:
I had one heart to give, one chance to get it right and i swear that i still hear you calling in the night
I’m just dreaming of the day that i wake up and everything is fine
Is it cold in your room as you lie on your back and exchange what was ours?
Tell him everything that you told me in attempts to lie and deceive
I’ve spent my better days trying to process what this means and what this makes me if i’m not one with you
Cause you said it for yourself I’m just too proud to ask for help and it's a battle that I know I can't win
Chorus:
Life’s not a staged movie
There's not some grand ending
Go cherish the setting
I’m not worth betting
Roll the carpet out
Marionette my corpse
Bridge:
Forget the nights we spent
Pretend you never knew me
I’m no protagonist
It's clear that you outgrew me
Chorus:
Life’s not a staged movie
There's not some grand ending
Go cherish the setting
I’m not worth betting
Roll the carpet out
Marionette my corpse

The Depths

Verse 1:
Breathe
Full circle we come to meet
Emergency flew us in
Could be the last time that we
Meet face to face again
So take the life you asked for and break the rules they made for you
Don't get caught up in the rat race now, she showed you how
Chorus:
From the depths
We’re here when you have nothing left
Time draws the veil on all
But we’ll be here till your curtain call
Verse 2:
Breathe
I know it's easy to preach
And i’m not the one who should speak
But man i’ll be honest the fact that your hurting is killing us all
So take the life you asked for and break the rules they made
Chorus:
From the depths
We’re here when you have nothing left
Time draws the veil on all
But we’ll be here till your curtain call
Bridge:
When i was scared you said “I won't let you suffer”
Held me up, made me believe that I was tougher
Always with you when you need the strength to carry
We’ll be here for you till your dead and buried
Chorus:
From the depths
We’re here when you have nothing left
Time draws the veil on all
But we’ll be here till your curtain call
(Trust Me, Trust Me, Trust Me, Trust Me, Trust Me)
When i was scared you said “I won't let you suffer”
We’ll be here for you till you are six feet underground

Verse 1:
Days are short the nights are long
Put my rosy glasses on
Try to see the way i saw when we were
Young and had our lives ahead
We kept away the fear and dread
Look at what we overcame
To be overwhelmed
Chorus:
My hearts exposed
Makes it impossible
To just let go
I now need you to survive
This ride it just doesn't feel right
Unless you’re by my side
Verse 2:
Home from work crawl into bed
Laundry damp the pets been fed
Tell myself i’ll clean it all tomorrow
Chasing after sleep for days
Can’t get out my own way
Look at what we overcame
Just to come undone
Chorus:
My hearts exposed
Makes it impossible
To just let go
I now need you to survive
This ride it just doesn't feel right
Unless you're by my side
Bridge:
I’ll grind my teeth into a dust
How can we renew love and trust?
Find a way just like we used to
Seize the day as long as you do
Light a match ignite the old flame
Burn it till we know why we came
(lean into me and i will do the same)
Verse 3:
Wandering through this endless haze
Wiping all their tears away
Looking at the growth we made
Was it worth the toll we paid?
Chorus:
My hearts exposed
Makes it impossible
To just let go
I now need you to survive
This ride it just doesn't feel right
Unless you're by my side

Verse 1:
Feeling like i wanna get high again
Might get behind the wheel and go die again
Times are getting reckless and I’m ready to end this
Just not sure when
I can feel the warmth from inside my bones
Sneak a little taste before i get home
I’m clearly self destructin, to me that dont mean nothin
I’m faded and thin
Verse 2: (Mitch)
I can be what you wanted (if it meant a thing to you)
But we’re lost and I’m wasted (and you know it’s nothing new)
Just give me a break, just give me a second
I need some relief, I’m so sick of stressin
I can’t be who you wanted (again it’s nothing new)
Chorus
With no maps or destination I fear it’s too late
If i die before the morning don’t resuscitate
Verse 3:
Rollin neat i'm feelin like i'm a star (I’m a star)
Trash fillin up the backseat of my car (back of my car)
On the edge of reason, my brains committed treason
So here we are (here we are)
Selling the self help books I should have read
Feed the endless hunger inside instead
Life has been a race, they’re all laughing in my face
I know how this ends
Chorus:
With no maps or destination I fear it’s too late
If i die before the morning don’t resuscitate

Verse 1:
I had a premonition
I heard what sounded like a familiar tune
I hope i'm not mistaken
But i can taste the fresh air thats coming soon
There's a fork in the road and a tongue with the same
Saying theres no love, saying you need us but
I threw up who i was, had to give up my buzz
Now i've had enough, yeah i've had enough
Chorus:
It's not enough that you just "Say So"
By design we lost our halo
I’ll show you all just how to let go
Don't need mine back
Verse 2:
You're spoiled with contradictions
The high you create doesn't offset the low
Embalmed in superstition
I thought that we'd moved past this but progress is slow
Were breaking loose foundations thought we'd never crack, no we'd never crack
All the years spent wishful thinking you can have them back, have them back
Chorus:
It's not enough that you just "Say So"
By design we lost our halo
I’ll show you all just how to let go
Don't need mine back
Bridge:
You took the simplest route and claimed it as your truth
If you can learn to lose, then you can blossom too (x2)
Chorus:
It's not enough that you just "Say So"
By design we lost our halo
I’ll show you all just how to let go
Don't need mine back
