Empty stares at a familiar scene
Helplessly, we play our part in the routine
Cause there's no higher reason, no one to blame
So we hope there's consolation in the fact that we feel the same
And I should know how to handle this by all laws of adaptation
But so far all I've learnt is how to dress for the occasion
We bow our heads and we pay respects and we swear we won't forget And we fill the room with laughter cause we're afraid of what comes next And if we had our way we'd go back just a few days
And we'd freeze in time, intertwined and never slip away
I don't know if there's solace in these words or if they make it worse
but It still goes on, that's all I know
It still goes on and it takes its toll
It still goes on, that's all I know
It still goes on, but we’re not alone
It still goes on, that's all I know
It still goes on and it takes its toll

Excuses hissed from a dried-out throat, crawling skin grows pale
The taste of salt on a sandpaper tongue as the eyes are rotting away
And it’s not you it’s me
‘Cause telling is seeing and seeing is believing and that makes it much too real
I’m sure you got only the best intentions but it’s not that easy for me
If all that I am is what’s said about me then I won’t join the conversation ‘cause all that I say can be held against me so I won’t give up information Don’t ask me to look down, I’m afraid I might fall
I've weighed the pros and cons and come to the conclusion
I’ll cut myself out once and for all

This place has become an exhibition,
An epitaph
The chair, the clothes, the pictures on your wall
And the empty bed
And it hurts to see it suck you in,
To watch the roots grow deep into your skin
At a loss for words, knowing that
This seed's been growing here for years
Now it's watered by
The tears in your eyes and the words on your mind
“He still had time”
Where did you go the day you started seeing ghosts?
The day it all stopped making sense?
That day
And I don't know what's worse:
When you remember or when you forget
When you cry and wish he'd never left, or laugh like you'd never met But if you could see how they hold each other tight to keep you warm,
I feel like you'd be proud
And I guess there's some beauty in that
But in between I can't help but see the futility
We're singing songs to wake you up, to draw you back in
But lately it feels like we're the choir that leads you out

The way you handle everything with such swagger
Like it’s meant to be belittles me
And I’m the only one to blame
In your shadow I feel safe
And it weighs more than you can see, keeps me on my knees
I’ll take the blame, can’t seem to claim anything for me
From all the shit I’ve gotten in,
Still haven’t grown a thicker skin
I guess I’ll have to deal with it like a boxer with a glass jaw

When you told me 'bout the empty dress
In a closet full of birthdays
Drives to school and lack
I felt guilty then
And then guilty again
'cause this was never about me,
just about you
And I'm failing you
I'm failing you
And if I could help,
if I could help you heal I'd do it all
I'd mend and stitch and seal

I found myself in a room, all drowned in gloom
And a breath of air it told me you were there
Reaching out always reaching out
But the softer the touch, the worse it felt
And then I heard a sudden whisper that drowned out all the noise
And it sounded so familiar cause it spoke with your voice
Sending shivers down my spine, as you gave me the promise of relief
Of an end to uncertainty, at the cost of giving in
Giving myself up, surrendering to your touch
The promise you’d reassemble me again if I let you tear me apart
And as I gave in and burst we rearranged and grew into one
Filled the room and grew bigger than we’d ever been before
There was a song that filled the air and it sang of the beauty that we’d find there I saw the cracks in the walls and the sun shining through
And then I came to

I’ve spilled my all
Perfect time to let you in
Immerse in information, call my next of kin
Happy fucking new year
Time has never felt so slow
Gravity in full effect
The clouds are hanging low
I’ve spilled my all
I can’t see but I can stare
Terror on the front lawn
Hands thrown in the air
Nothing! Nothing!
Lose your voice just 'cause you can

I used to write things down to let them go
and take comfort in the things I know
I used to put things off and bet on time,
to read what's in between the lines
I used to think there'd be a big reveal
but all I've found is this constant theme
I'm marching to the beat of teeth grinding on teeth
With smoke in my lungs and glass in my feet
Break my legs and watch me dance
Give me light and burn my hands
Hold me tight and feel me bend
The pen is full but the paper’s blank
I know the story but I don’t know the end
And I know that it's never been better,
But it's never been worse
When the pieces are all there and I still can't make it work
And just cause everything is fine, that doesn't mean that any of it is mine
And it never has, it never will
Cause I wanna be everything, so I think I'll be nothing
I've kept my head down to pass through doors
And I've kept my head up so I don't get caught
Cause I want you to applaud and to know that I’m a fraud
I'm sleeping to the sound of my creaking ribs going up and down
So put your hands on my ears and your head on my chest
Cause I need you to know I'm doing my best

You said there’s rest in the way that you keep on moving
Because it helps you forget how close you are to the edge
To forget about the reoccurring patterns
And you think about leaving town ‘cause it’s better than slowing down
And I know there's guilt in the way that you look for comfort
A cold in the way that you hope for warmth
And that's alright I'll still hold you tight until our breaths align
And when the blood drips from your lips, press them onto mine
Holding’s being held
When I stare, my eyes bang shut
And your words ring in my ear, when your mouth closes up
So we try to get into our heads through the skin on our necks
And when we’re fading to black we pull each other back
It’s an art to appreciate when it feels like we can levitate
Now that we’ve opened the gates, it’ll come and go in waves
But I know that there's a light, when the worst nights still feel right

The kind of silence that comes with a bang
The nothingness that comes with the weight of the world
The thought that everything ends
The things that you say make less sense with every word
I fell out of time, as your breath stopped mine
As the crack in your voice split my head open wide
As you paused and you sighed and you told me:
“Don’t worry, i’ll be fine, it’ll be alright”
And i believed you
I’ve chosen to
There’s a calm in you, a sense of pride, and you wear that smile
As you carry them, as you carry me and it’s been that way for all my life I’ve seen you shot but never bleed
I’ve seen you bend but never break
And I’ve seen you take too many falls that you know none of us could ever take I’ve always known
But I tend to forget
How you’ve always given everything
And never taken back
I gotta get you off that pedestal and let you in
I thought you could still fly if I ignored the holes in your wings
Cause the doubt in your eyes scares me to death
We gotta talk about it
please let’s not talk about it
and when you call I’ll say I’ll come home soon
And then we’ll talk about it
Please let’s not talk about it
