Roll Credits 03:38
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 03:15
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

Rose Colored 03:21
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
