Excuses
02:06
|
|
||
When looking back, I
Think of all of the things I've been through
But it's over now, I've figured out
That there's not a whole lot I can do
Sometimes, I'm a moron
I tried to deny the fact but it's true
I'm a grown-up now, I've figured out
That I need to put my assets to use
And I feel the need to be someone
And the need to do something
Something that I've always wanted to do
So why do I find all these reasons
To put it off one more season?
I'm always looking for another excuse
Time's running out
Or so I tell myself

No Purpose
02:04
|
|

If I could have one wish, I'd make it all disappear
Like living back on the farm, I've got it up to my ears
Can't think about the coming month and, much less, of next year
I made it out in one piece but I'm not in the clear
Going through life with no purpose at all
Calling for help but no one's taking the call
I know you can do it
I've seen you prevail
It's so easy to believe that you
Are predestined to fail
I can't understand it
Far beyond the pale
But my thoughts will get the best of me now
Going through life with no purpose at all
Calling for help but no one's taking the call
Hoping for something existential to fall
You're going through life with no purpose at all

The Abyss
01:37
|
|
||
I've made my bed
Or is it just inside my head?
There's a part of me that's missing
And it's all that I can do
To keep this side of me from you
I've been playing this game
For way too long, my friend
It's now time for this to end
It's now time for this to end
It's now time for this to end

Follow Your Lead
01:59
|
|
||
Create a mess of my life
I should just leave it up to you
My calculations were imprecise
I should just leave it up to you
Thought I was ready to be more mature
I should just leave it up to you
I'm really sorry you've been down this road before
I should just leave it up to you
I shouldn't trust myself
Maybe it's for the best if you
Are the one that makes the call
Won't say a thing at all
Beat my head against a wall
I will follow your lead

What For
01:28
|
|
||
You may insist I'm crazy
But I retain the truth
It's the hardest thing to see sometimes
That it's only something inside you
And if you're thinking maybe
You have sufficient proof...
The explanation's hazy
But I still understand
You'll subscribe to any superstition
That makes you feel your life was planned
Some made-up "God" will save me
If things get out of hand
I just need to fall in line
I need to believe
And I ask: what for?
And I ask: what for?
And I ask: what for?
And I ask: what for?
And I ask: what for?
And I ask: what for?

No Way Out
02:28
|
|
||
When my mind is vacant
I do my best to fake it
But I can't fool someone like you
When I'm feeling naked
I pretend there's a blanket
One that hides all of my past mistakes
It covers all the stupid things I've done
Every awful song I've ever sung
I'm holding on so desperately
Is there an out for me?
Is there a way out of here
Where I'm still with you?
Or do I face the fact
There's no way to take it back?

Fears
01:55
|
|
||
Drown out the noise that repeats in my head
It's never gonna bring me any good
Go find myself new distractions instead
Of sitting around wishing that I would
But when I'm trying to sleep
The voices become clear
It's no use trying to keep
Out the weight of my worst fears
Did I waste my best years floating through college
Without a thing to show?
Threw my worthless degree straight into the garbage
I've got to let this go
And here, I've been saying the same thing
Since my first acceptance letter
Repaying my debts and still got a long way to go
Drown out the noise that repeats in my head
It's never gonna bring me any good
No, it's never gonna bring me any good

Middle Man
01:06
|
|
||
Middle man until my dying day
Never asked for it to be this way
If there's a problem
It's up to me to make things right
If there's an issue
I have got to be the guy to shed some light
Or maybe cover it instead
This all gets caught up in my head
If there's a question
I'll rephrase it for their ears
And if I get an answer
I'll come back with something you're willing to hear
Or maybe cover it instead
This all gets caught up in my head

Not Cool
01:30
|
|
||
Locked up in a room
This all happened so soon
It's not something I'd make up
I'm just trying to wake up
From a letdown
You left me for the birds
I tried to digest the words
I'm not trying to protest
I'll walk away at your request
Did I take it way too far?
Do I even know who you are?
Did I go "way too far" this time?

Put Me Down
02:12
|
|
||
A friendship now washed up on foreign shores
Is it over just like all the rest?
How am I supposed to function as once before?
Feeling miserable and worthless at best
The air in this room, it feels sweltering
I'd rather be anywhere else
I can feel my emotions need sheltering
And it won't go away by itself
And I'm filled up with apathy
Through trying to be happy
Done everything I know how
I'm waiting for you to put me down
I learned to let my expectations expire
No need to give some air to the fire

Overdue
01:58
|
|
||
Do I serve my purpose?
Was I meant for something more?
Was all of this worth it?
It's a thought I can't ignore
I'm running out of excuses
Can't deny reality
It's not exactly conducive
To a place I want to be
And I don't know what to say to you
'Cause I've been here the last 9 years
Some change is well overdue
And I feel it's all that I can do
I spin in place and hide my face
It'll all be over soon

(If You) Want Me To
03:46
|
|
||
How much are you thinking of me?
Is this the life you wanted to lead
I won't try to greet you
Does he still mistreat you?
Are you thinking of me?
Time has come and gone just as fast
Still remember when I saw you last
Trying to be careful
Are you now despairful
Are you thinking of me?
I'll come along now if you want me to
You want me to
Or I'll go alone now if you don't want to
You don't want to
I'll come along now if you want me to
You want me to
Or I'll go alone now if you don't want to
You don't want to
