Long Way To Fall

Eyes Fixed and Dilated
Stuck Staring out
So jaded and frustrated
Dragging you down
You can only see so much when you're relying on your
eyes
There's an instinct inside everyone
It's the engine and the drive

It's a Long way to fall
once you lose all those aspirations.
It's a Long way to fall

What I've got in my heart and my head
I won't give it away because it's all that I am.

So listless, indifferent, distant and cold.
No feeling, no meaning.
Stuck in a hole.
Leave your ideals with your memories like they're
something you've outgrown.
And the days go by you're paralyzed and you slowly
turn to stone.

Indebted

Through my eyes I see you as a hero
A super human miracle.
You remained un-fazed
By the road that faced you when
you took this world on all alone.

For all I am I owe you everything and there's no
reason to be scared anymore and I remember it.
I know you tried to mend it
I know that I'm indebted
I guess it had to grind you down
Those sleepless nights seemed endless
Stress on your mind relentless
I guess it's all behind you now that we made it. 

Under the strain I had to watch you struggle
you're spirit just refused to break
And the quiet strength sings like a thousand voices
I always knew that we'd be safe

Nothing Frequency

There's static in the atmosphere
A constant interference that is killing me
I'm losing the connection here
And all the frequencies are down
And this silence seems so loud

That's why
This system shorted out
Programmed restraint before the shutting down
This system shorted our
memory fails during the crashing down.

I’m screaming at the satelites
I’m watching all the screens go black in front of me.
I’m sending out a prayer tonight
Because all the frequencies are down
and this silence seems so loud.

And as it's starting to fade out
And as we're heading underground
There is a pessimistic side of me that knows that this
might never turn itself around.

Exit Signs

She knows how to tidy up
She keeps it picture perfect
You won't find one thing out of place
She knows how to stay hush-hush
She can keep a secret
Locked up and hidden far away
Something inside is bleeding
I know she's dying to get out and leave this all behind
And the lights go out and leave you blind
And a million times a day
She goes driving past that exit sign.

He hangs out in hospitals
He's done his share of waiting
Holding on, hoping for the best
He sees pictures in his head
Walking on broken bottles
He sleeps but never gets to rest
Something inside is bleeding
I know he's dying to get out and leave this all behind
And the lights go out and leave you blind.
And a million times a day
He goes driving past that exit sign.

It takes you over
(I know it)
It drags you under
I know there are times when all you know
that all you want is time to let you go
because you need some control,
but don't you go out and leave this all behind
Because the lights go out and leave you blind
And I know you'll find some space
Just keep driving past those exit signs.

Wide Awake

I'm breaking promises and breaking you apart
while this constant battle rages in my mind.
Over which path to take
How much of this is fate
and how much is just a waste of time

Because I don't know just what I need
Stuck somewhere in the in-between
3 in the morning and I wish that I could sleep.
But I'm wide awake.

Medicine bottle's laying empty on the floor
But I still can't make these headaches go away
More of a bastard than I've ever been before
I'd be better off just bashing in my brains.

All this feels like it’s some other life
Doesn’t it seem way too dark tonight

Because I don't know just what I need
Stuck somewhere in the in-between
3 in the morning and I'm writing this all down
And I hope it makes it easier somehow.
