Must this stereotype be defined as something we were born to die with?
All these piling lies that were spoken, never to be heard. We listened.
We are an accessory to defeat, friend of failure.
Leaning towards something our mind doesn't trust, keep yourself up.
Before you fall back to the ground.
You made a fool of yourself,
crying out for eyes that will only see your blind disguise
embarass them for being themselves
jealousy shows through being expelled in your own life
Change with the trend you'll never find yourself
All that you are is a closet full of once worn clothes.
An empty minded person, with no opinion of your own.
Change with the trends, you'll never find yourself.
An empty minded person found on any shelf.

I got up today home from a weekend on the road,
Checked my account last night, talked about money I owed
Mom says she’ll pay the ticket even though she knows that I’m not good for it.
She says “People have expectations”
Can I just be a good person?
And I know that we played straight through the last 3 days
But I really need to practice today
After spending the whole night talking and thinking
After spending the whole night talking about thinking
She says “People have expectations”, can I just be a good person?
That’s not always enough, my heart does not believe, but I’d have to agree
And I know that this isn’t all you see, because I know everyone doesn’t think like me

Landing hard on a soft spot
It hurts more than I thought
I’ve known you from the moment I came here
But to this day I still can’t tell you I feel
Someone needs to look deep into the eyes of change
We can’t just sit here, and I know you feel the same
And I know you feel the same
Life is deeper than a short answer, I’m in the shallow end again
You always found something to talk about, shutting my voice out
You keep telling me “I won’t be here forever”
I can’t keep brushing this off, I’ll end up regretting it later
Let’s try and fix this, I’ll try my hardest and I know you’ll do the same
Life is deeper than a short answer, I’m in the shallow end again
You always found something to talk about, shutting my voice out, shutting my voice out

Have I ever mentioned that you're out of your mind?
Sorry that I felt this way, It comes right with the times
My mind says I'm alright
But my heart pumps out more poison
So I'll be driving through the night
With only one thing on my mind
And it kills me
Chase your perfect meaning
I'll be here when you are done
Chase your perfect meaning
You can't outlast the sun
Have I ever mentioned I would have thrown it all away
To see you laugh and smile so truthfully
For one more day
Lindsay needs to wake up

Oh captain, my captain, how have I failed you so?
My anchor is dropped in places a ship can’t even go
I will find a place I can go: A way out of my own skull
Where a war rages on about my whole world
And we can run some place where we can see this through

I want to get away from all this mess
But I know this night will take its time
And it'll end with some regrets
Do you know how it feels
To know whats going on,
But you cannot fix a thing?
I felt so restless
Sitting next to all of this
I'm dying from the thoughts of you and him
So I'll just close my eyes tonight
Hear the banging on the walls
I can't say a word
To you right now
So I'll just close my eyes tonight
Hear the banging on the walls
And we'll talk about something that won't bring me down
This room of mine
In which I owned for the night
Only saw two faces
None of which were mine
You took him in
You never turned around
I never made a sound
One thing I learned tonight
Some people just aren't worth the fight
Love is love, Lust is lust
But you and him were just
Another late night fuck
Thank you for the wonderful night (close my eyes)

Is it so hard to understand?
I hold myself to a higher standard than you
For better or worse
It’s just what works for me
I’ve had some trouble letting go
It’s been too hard to stray from what I know
I’ve had friends, seen them change, and watch them all fade away
It’s never easy for me
In a world of constant change I’m afraid to not stay the same
For better or worse
It’s just what works for me
I’ll keep stumbling forward until I stop looking back

These rainy days keep hanging on
And when they leave, for once I miss them
Every drop, every sound, every heartbeat, it all touches me the same
And I don’t like the sound of that, no
I can’t take this sound, I can’t shake these feelings
Picking me up just to bring me down
And I, I can’t take this sound, I can’t shake these feelings picking me up just to bring me down
Yeah these rainy days keep hanging on
It’s the one thing that I can’t let go of
But every slugger has his day

So after years
Of Listening to advice
I’m finally convinced
That everyone else knows how to live my life
Better than I do

I’ve spent
All of my time
Thinking about the distance between you and I
That I failed to see
It wasn’t as big as the difference between us

I’m faintly remembering feeding geese at Wyandotte County Lake
It’s been too damn long since I’ve had the chance to run around the fountain
My deepest fears don’t lie in this place that I am in
And I’m linking my tendencies, pinned them down to one huge mistake
I guess that leaving Kansas was a choice I just had to make
Oh the ghosts in my past that I just cannot seem to shake
And I am finally at peace
And I’m sufficiently breathing
And I won’t be afraid, because my heart is in this state
At least for today
Reluctant in surrendering my sorrows to ink pens
Writing on coffee cups and spending nights out with my best friends
Yeah I guess I’m happy, but I want to go down and play shows for Daxxx and Little Danny
And I am finally at peace, and I’m sufficiently breathing
and I won’t be afraid, because my heart is in this state
At least for today
