I don't know what to say here But I am feeling underprepared (I am feeling underprepared) For this conversation I'll be the reason that you're leaving this time It is the necessary role I need to play Cause someone has to I guess I have to Why would we ever try to hide? When we're just messing with your mind I'm looking back and hoping all of this was worth it in the end So let me say a few more things, that don't mean anything, to anyone, not even to me I didn't think it'd be this hard to revert back just for a while I needed to find something to say Why would we ever try to hide? When we're just messing with your mind I'm looking back and hoping all of this was worth it in the end If this meant anything to you Just know that it means nothing to us If this means anything to you Just know that it means nothing to us

On Impulse 03:25
I've never been one To be in one place for too long I'm looking for something No point in hanging on You say I spend too much time Looking for where I should be Not enough time spent Just being somewhere I'd say I've spent enough time Aimlessly walking in circles No intention to make any progress I keep taking all the wrong steps I'm gonna keep making my biggest decisions on impulse I'm taking the blame for choices I made, they were my fault I've never been one To let a thin rope tie me down The knife I used to use To cut myself free Is too dulled down now And I've never been one To have to reach to you for help This is no fun A broken promise to my aunt I'm gonna keep making my biggest decisions on impulse I'm taking the blame for choices I made, they were my fault I'm gonna keep making my biggest decisions on impulse I'm taking the blame for choices I made, they were my fault I might be better off If I take it slow Could be reaping more From the seeds I sew This is the hardest part I think we both know I'm gonna make it out of here On my own (I'm gonna make it home) This is the hardest part I think we both know I'm gonna make it out of here On my own (I'm gonna make it home) This is the hardest part I think we both know I'm gonna make it out of here On my own (I'm gonna make it home) I'm gonna keep making my biggest decisions on impulse (I'm gonna make it home) I'm taking the blame for choices I made, they were my fault (I'm gonna make it home) I'm gonna keep making my biggest decisions on impulse (I'm gonna make it)

Gomorrah 04:55
Take my picture off your wall Cause I like the way the wall looks And every weight that you bear I will pile on more At the picture you stare Face-down on the floor (face down on the floor) I'll make a note of when I fall Cause you like the way the floor shook For every second I care You will lie a bit more No this has never been fair There is a gun in your drawer I'll try to make it to next fall But you don't know how much the last took I'm running low on air And growing sick of this war So could you say your last prayer Cause I am tired and sore Ever-present and miles from shore Underwater and sinking more I never told you, You never asked It's never over, But time has past And you could never kill me Not the way that you already have And I hope this makes you happy Cause it's only ever made me sad To think this is what you wanted It was everything I ever had So I hope this makes you happy But I hope it makes it hurt so bad Ever-present and miles from shore Underwater and sinking more I never told you, You never asked It's never over, But time has past

Brain says to arm, “Reach out and hold her” But conscious say, “No, she is not yours to hold” It is left to me, but The conflict hurts my head An internal struggle I wont let go We walk through the city And out in the cold She'd steal from me kisses Her hand I would hold The longer this went on, the The more I hate myself My weakness of mind, My achilles heel I know you can't understand what I'm Feeling for you When I leave here, you'll find someone else and they Wont know what you do Relax all my muscles and try to form words Drawing nothing but blanks, and striking no chords These games you are forcing me into They are no fun at all My weakness of mind, My Achilles heel I know you can't understand what I'm Feeling for you When I leave here, you'll find someone else and they Wont know what you do I've been trying to stand, like the man that I am Focused all that I have, but my will cannot win If this is what you want, than you got what you deserve I'm getting out of this town, I don't plan to return I know you can't understand what I'm Feeling for you When I leave here you'll try to forget me, but I'll have finally broke through

Don't Start 03:18
You let your struggles define you, And we don't want to hear about it It doesn't mean anything to me anymore, but When I wrote it you were all that I could think about And in hindsight, I think I'm better off now than, When I left you I'm coming to realize that I'm not so tortured And it hurts, But I'm not so tortured Yes it hurts But I'm not so tortured And in hindsight, maybe I should have left a bigger mark Punched a little harder And in hindsight In hindsight Losing all my self confidence, But I never had it in the first place You know they're always gonna hate you, kid Might as well give them a reason Losing all my self confidence, But I never had it in the first place You know they're always gonna hate you, kid Might as well give them a reason Losing all my self confidence, (Let it hit you) But I never had it in the first place (Let it hit you) You know they're always gonna hate you, (Let it hit you) Hate you Hate you You let your struggles define you, And we don't want to hear about it It doesn't mean anything to me anymore, but When I wrote it you were all that I could think about
