I can't get my two feet off the ground You might as well kick me while I'm down I can't seem to keep on moving All I know is I keep on losing But I continue to make a sound Can't wait to go out on the weekend I'm gonna be dancing on the ceiling Eighteen months is too long to be standing Been here so long I'll overthink and ask too many questions Contemplate and go to find to find the answers Like a dog that's stuck between two fences Thrown in the cold Been here so long Can you hold on Been here so long You're already gone I've been waiting Send a letter Contemplating I know the answer

Born to be down I've learned all my lessons before now Born to be down I think you'll get used to it And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic And you don't Born to be down I think that I've said this before now Born to be down What good is confidence And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic And you don't

Cemetery 02:44
Does it feel like you're not enough When in school, a push comes to shove Is it how you remember it What does it feel like Look from the outside Lived my adulthood as a child And my childhood as a man It's how I imagined it And what it felt like Dead on the inside All the teachers were full of shit And the bullies never knew when to quit This is not the life you wanted Now you're six-feet under, and you've left us behind I'll see you in The cemetery Time moves faster While we're dreaming Always laughing Masking faces

Ready To Go 04:05
I can't tune the frequencies on your radio Every time I get on track I lose control I'm ready to go Now take it slow I'm ready to go Now take it slow It's time to say goodbye to ones I love Are you out there I'm ready to go And are you with me I'm dying alone Are you in there I'm ready to go And can you feel me Haunting like a ghost I'm ready to go Every time I turn my back, my name is called I'm ready to go (to make my skin crawl) Now take it slow (to lose all feeling) I'm ready to go (is it worth it) Now take it slow (what am I thinking) It's time to say goodbye to the ones I love To leave behind everything I own Are you out there I'm ready to go And are you with me I'm dying alone Are you in there I'm ready to go And can you feel me Haunting like a ghost I'm ready to go Please don't leave me home tonight This just wasn't meant to be If I just waited a bit longer You know I'd regret everything You know I can't get it out Are you in there I'm ready to go And can you feel me Haunting like a ghost I'm ready to go It's time to say goodbye to the ones I love To leave behind everything I own It's time to say goodbye to the ones I love I'm ready to go

You're the sun Blue skies for you Like the ocean blue It reflects on you Now your story has been told You were a huge part of my own You've made me a better man And for that, I thank you I'll see you in the morning Now as the wind blows I hope it guides you home You've made me a better man And for that, I thank you And for that, I'll miss you Remember that I love you

I need to get away Into a different time and space I need to hide my face And you're all to blame I'm so sick of all of your scenarios I can hear your voice over the stereo Forget to save the progress on your favourite game I've been spending my life stuck on replay I know where you are I'll come find you I need to hide away I need to get away I need to hide my face And you're all to blame I know where you are I'll come find you

Suburban living White picket fences on every street Let's take it down a notch or two Because this is gonna hurt Give me something I don't need I'm far from ordinary Chewing my fingers until they bleed I'm far from ordinary I want to follow the golden rule Never one to take home the silver spoon Give me something I don't need I'm far from ordinary Chewing my fingers until they bleed I'm far from ordinary Picket fence dreams, you must succeed Mistaking truths for fallacies How do you like me now Give me something I don't need I'm far from ordinary Chewing my fingers until they bleed I'm far from ordinary I want to follow the golden rule Never one to take home the silver spoon
9.
One shot, two lives I think I'm out of my mind Money-hungry, end of story Confess your sins and pay for your crimes There's no escape from you And I keep running away True love, denied Such a waste of my precious time All the fakers, and all the makers Welcome to the freak show honey There's no escape from you (keep running) And I keep running away

Start Again 02:43
I wish the rain would stop from falling As clouds continue to fill the air Like a spaceman out there floating Finding their way into inhabitants Oh Vera Things just aren't what they used to be Oh Vera As we float into the galaxy Now we're two world's apart Will you fight or will you fly away Believe You know I'll fight to get you back again Breathe, as I fall to the earth When you fall, I'll pick you up again In good time, I hope you're safe and sound 'Cause in my mind, I know we'll start again Now we're two world's apart Will you fight or will you fly away Believe You know I'll fight to get you back again Start again
