We wanted new life Reinvent our reality Bombs that burst caused a landslide That would spoil nature's humble trees We have reaped all we can So bless Her heart for the land But with our King we stand Taking off and we're not scared The visionaries know where to go As we leave the warmth of the air A thousand little stars will appear Let's go We're taking control Our future is deep in the coldest unknown Past the sky Maybe we'll die But at least put on a good show Embracing the feeling of losing the light Leaving like seasons no longer in sight Embracing the feeling of losing the light Leaving like seasons no longer in sight Let's go We're taking control Our future is deep in the coldest unknown Past the sky Maybe we'll die But at least put on a good show Embracing the feeling of losing the light Leaving like seasons no longer in sight Embracing the feeling of losing the light Leaving like seasons no longer in sight

You can see the city from your apartment I can't light a candle 'cause you'll lose your deposit Just so you know I can't sleep in summer without a fan My temperature is rising, can we just spend the night in? I'm never up this late because I get too tired Ambulances crying until the morning after You've been wasting your breath There are just too many weights on my chest And I don't know how we got this far Karma's catching up to all these scars I guess that I like to bet a little better than you Am I only chemical? I can't shake the feeling Gravity's irrelevant, I'm stuck on the ceiling Heartache and malevolence, I'll mix and measure I can be your waiter babe, you know it's my pleasure You've been wasting your breath There are just too many weights on my chest And I don't know how we got this far Karma's catching up to all these scars I guess that I like to bet a little better than you Who said it was easy to love where you started? I can't save my feelings from broken hearts alone Who said it was easy to love where you started? I can't save my feelings from broken hearts alone You can see the city from your apartment I can't see the ceiling from your apartment You can see the city from your apartment But you can't see the sky when it's blue

Cheap cologne With a bottle and a bag I didn't get from the store I go alone Off, half cocked Shoot straight with a red dot It's not my time Pretend I don't mind Though I'm not smart I got a feeling that it's falling apart How far would we have to go to restart? I'm never feeling love in my heart when the lights off How'd you get those eyes glued onto me? There's nowhere i can go Stuck here sweat on my back Got a lot on my brain and the time i lost track I know that you're near and i'm here but i don't wanna be here alone When did hell get so cold? Though i'm not smart I got a feeling that it's falling apart How far would we have to go to restart? I'm never feeling love in my heart when the lights off

Now that I've been on my own I'm wondering if I like me at all Though I love you by my side You know that I... Don't wanna waste your time But you've been on my mind Why don't you come with me And be my company Conversations so surreal But I'm not sure exactly how you feel Though I know your feelings hide I know they're mine (Know that they are mine) When you look into my eyes The whole world slows down we are left behind Now the time it will not pass Alone at last Don't wanna waste your time But you've been on my mind Why don't you come with me And be my company I know we're moving slow But I don't mind you know Why don't you come with me And be my company Im sorry Ive been stuck in my head So ill just take you on a tour instead Lets go, take a little journey with me Right past this crowded little city of anxiety But on your right, you'll find the valley that has no light Just hold my hand Don't get lost in the land Of all these regrets of mine Make sure to avoid the ocean of hopeless lives And don't you upset the volcano its gonna explode Can you just tell me it will be fine? 'Cause you know you're perfect for me You lift me away from the demons that haunt my dreams Im waking up next to my perfect company And all is fine knowing that you're mine

I think that I've thought about you every night this week I guess it's better than sharing stories that I want to keep Tucked in bed but not asleep And my parents say that I'm afraid of breaking down the walls you helped me make And it's so damn true So I go to the place where I can pretend Pretend to finally be a man This time I won't come crying To the bedroom where I'd feel your breath And we would watch a movie while your heads on my chest I'm not begging on my knees But dying alone is as lonely as it seems Now the seasons are changing rapidly So why am I still cold I'm having trouble coping And I always seem to have this funny feeling like a skit where all the jokes I seem to miss And I'm having trouble hoping My heart was made for stealing Ignoring the reasons Why I'm not enough and I hate you for it Do you know the time cuz I'm running out of mine while I'm crying on the bathroom floor Read between the lines I go along but i'm not fine This time I'm not begging on my knees But dying alone is as lonely as it seems Now the seasons are changing rapidly So why am I still cold Why am I still cold Why am I still cold Why I'm still cold

I'm dying here From little fears Keep 'em coming I'll be worth something I've got skin of veneer Breaks over the years Keep watching We'll be stars falling I know the light is barely breathing It's hard to fight without a reason But with little life We hold on still The journey here was worth the thrill The plans we made The great escape into Free fall Take me now May the light we lost Be with you all Take me now Me now With such little time I will waste mine Our blood becomes cold The stories are told Our breath it runs dry Don't leave from behind my eyelids

Sleeping away Darkness of days Growing old, it's time to stop being afraid Wake up and run Let's go have some fun You don't have to go but I thought you could use the sun All the golden dreams you've left behind You were chosen but you've fell out of line Waited Wasted in your room Enjoy your time Introversion addict all alone is far from fine It's so cliche What I wanna say Another day, another foot in the grave Is that the way, I want to behave? Bite my tongue and go on with the day Waited Wasted in my room Enjoy my time Introversion addict all alone is far from fine (La da da da da da da) Keep it the same Or I'll go insane All of the change is just too much for my brain Something is wrong The days are too long I lose my words a minute into the song I've just never seen an end to it all Is the journey higher worth it when we fall? Fight my head above the water I've drowned too much before And I don't get stronger Waited Wasted in our room For one last time Introversion addict not alone and you'll be fine (La da da da da da da)

What a save! 06:45
Stay in my room I'm tired of missing you Please let me see you through Just once I'd like to be better for you So sleep my dear Maybe you can have a dream that has your deepest fear I'll hold you till the end and never let you go The one thing that I know is that I've always loved you I'll wear your shoes You'll wear mine but they're a little loose I stay up late at night I'm distracted by the tv But there's nothing that could stop me from smiling at my phone when you call me Sleep my dear Maybe you can have a dream that has your deepest fear I'll hold you till the end and never let you go The one thing you should know is that I've always loved you Sleep my dear Maybe you can have a dream that has your deepest fear I'll hold you till the end and never let you go The one thing you should know is that I've always loved you Sleep my dear Maybe you can have a dream that has your deepest fear I'll hold you till the end and never let you go The one thing you should know is that I always loved you Things are clear Suddenly you feel at home without my atmosphere The air I breathe is clouded with no self control The one thing you should know is that I always loved you
