I’m overwhelmed And its starting to show Life is work and there’s more to go And its all a blur to me In between breaths And trying to sleep I’m losing it all When will it end? I’m ready to walk away And say I’m never coming back here again No more I’ve changed my mind Is this even what I want to do? No more I’ve changed my mind Its nothing like I thought it would be I’m going through the motions Of what I’ve learned Forget burning the candle Its been burned And nothing’s left The tank is dry We’re running on fumes to stay alive What are my reasons? Is it all a lie When you come to the point where you’re phoning it in Why bother to try? I’ve given all I can Is it even worth anything? What’s it all for? Maybe I’ll just end up here again Give me some more Keep me awake Time is slipping away its all I need
2.
Can I say that sometimes I just got to go Can I say that I just have to get out of this town All this pressure, and weather, its starting to take its toll It never gets better, I’ve put my life on hold I know, its not how you thought this would turn out I know, you’re supposed to have it figured out by now You’re getting older everyday You’re making up for time as it slips away If only for a while If only for one more day I have a safety plan that I never hope to use I’m planning for my great escape Keep your chin up You’re still breathing Just know they can never take that away form you

Who put these points on a map So far away Who’s laughing now with time I still can’t say What’s the point of all this Where can we go What’s the point of all this I’ll never know We both know how this ends We’ve seen this film a million times Before the credits roll The actors still reread their lines Do you believe in our story Or are we just falling back On what’s unresolved Can this really happen Are we both stringing ourselves along You’ve got your life in progress And mine’s still moving when you’re gone What’s the point of all this Are we saying what we want to hear What’s the point of all this There’s a permanent wrench thrown in our gears I never thought it would be like this I never knew

Do Youuuuu? 03:13
Every other word, Is something about how much you Hate this place and want to get out I don’t want to read it, I don’t want to hear it, And you just won’t let it go Do you ever think, its not that bad out? (do you ever think its not that bad out?) I can think of anyone who would trade places Get over yourself So stay away from here Don’t ever come home again I don’t want to hear how much you never need this place and I’m just so sick of hearing about how hard your life is its all your talking about you’re talking shit about home from your life on the road then you come back to complain that you’re all alone all your problems are made by you (all your problems are made by you) if you’re happier staying out of this town just move there and don’t come around GET OUT And if you think We’re not sick of your shit Don’t believe it For one fucking minute Get up Get out Don’t ever come back Get up get out I don’t want to hear it

??? 03:12
in the hours up to midnight we went to where we used to go in honor, in memory of our friend one last time , before we all go the snow, its been melting the fireworks litter the sky the voices are still heard from the backroom where memories won’t die this is our chance to say thank you one more time to our friend who was always there singing it loud for all of us to hear you will be missed nothing will be the same everything’s washed away
6.
These walls are made of brick and they won’t burn Anything to stick, I still can’t learn How are these mistakes, following me up? Until I’m just falling back down Everything’s not gonna be so bad Until it gets a little bit worse I could never see what I had Looking to the past is a dead curse I’m making my stand To say never again I’m turning around To show what I had Everything just, seems so right In the rearview mirror staring back at life Second chances, don’t come around Make a a choice or stand your ground Follow through, or get away Fuck tomorrow, live for today There are places, waiting to be seen Why wait? This is what you need We’re making a stand To say never again We’re turning around To show what we have My lessons learned, I can’t trade I can’t lose them, and they won’t fade My stories to tell, my tales to write They’re the things that get me through the night You get one chance, you get one life To make it count and feel alive
7.
My ears are ringing, my voice is giving out Feeling something I haven’t felt in months We’re loading up The van is rolling out I never though I’d miss this place so much Can we sing along With songs we’ve never hear before Can we make this all mean more With all our friends shouting in unison Can we make this all mean more Six months ago I felt like giving up Heart was broken, all alone The band broke up Make something out of nothing I won’t justy let it be Am I a part of this Or is this a part of me? Its all we’ve got to show It’s all we’ve ever known Its all built from the ground up What happens form here is all on us
8.
I’ve been trying for Every single day Just pushing along Trying to show what I made Another reason to wake Another reason to work But I feel like it Always goes unheard (Am I awake?) did I drive all night to end up here? (Am I alone?) do you understand we can’t walk away (Am I awake?) nobody’s left, nobody’s home we’re all in this together, we’re all alone As I work now I see friends go by Moving on to the next stage of their lives I’ve been holding on And fighting through But if it ended now There’d still be work to do Its all been, for right now

The Interns 03:11
I’ve been living a double life What I present, and who I am inside Been divided against myself What is real, and what’s said to everyone else What’s professional, and what’s expected And what’s the most honest fucking thing I can say I didn’t come this far, and give that up, just to walk away I’m not gonna lie to you This is how I really feel And I’m not gonna lie to you We can’t hide that this is real I’m taking a stand, I’m making a point That we can’t live life like this I’ll calling to arms, I’m making a choice That you can’t kill what’s missed I’ve been living an honest lie Hunting for things I’ll never find I walked in to your world And still never felt right I see honesty and chasing dreams I can’t find that in myself I’ve got other plans, and other dreams I don’t feel like everyone else
10.
Well I’m trying just to get it out And I’m trying so hard to write it all down I’m trying to be honest with myself I know that you’ll be around And I’ll try to see you next time you’re in town Next time we won’t back down I’ll be honest through and through My words won’t interfere I’ve learned it from before Next time I’ll be so sincere I won’t block my own shot And I won’t wait ‘til next year I will be different I will change
