Problems develop on these dreary weekends when I spend them all alone. But I have people in my life who help me cope with the feeling of not being home. I found out who meant the most to me after those forlorn teenage years This is the time of my life People come and go on the journey you've embarked on to find out who you really are I think I finally found my best friends All of my life I thought I was an outcast My personality and mannerisms contrast With the masses but we're wired different ways Then fate comes along and connects me with the ones I can relate I found out who meant the most to me after those forlorn teenage years This is the time of my life People come and go on the journey you've embarked on to find out who you really are I think I finally found my best friends It took me far too long to conquer these demons I wish you knew how hard it really is for me To find trustworthy friends whose lives I will defend This turned out to be my brightest dream My mind becomes a darker place when all the wires get tangled up When you are far away The disconnect occurred as our friendship developed Then you drove on the highway When you make your return or when I make my arrival I swear I'll be okay

What is this hell you had to put me through. You never took the action to speak to me. (I've learned) that actions speak louder than words, Regardless of what you have heard. Above all things assigned to do, I always tried to talk to you. But all attempts have failed and your ship has set its sails. We used to hang out in the summer, Then fall came and shattered all our plans like shards of glass Blown away by the winter. We spent those nights driving through city roads Singing to songs that we all love and know. I wish my whole life could have stayed this way. But now friendships are one-sided. I was once one to confide in. This is the fire that you ignited. And every single day, I always try to find a change. I've gone insane all thanks to you. What is this hell you had to put me through. You never took the action to speak to me. (I've learned) that actions speak louder than words, Regardless of what you have heard. Above all things assigned to do, I always tried to talk to you. But all attempts have failed and your ship has set its sails. One month later, miscommunications brought up these unnecessary situations. This is the seed you planted in my head. It sprouted feeding off my depression. My will to live resorted to regression. Funny how destruction is a form of creation. This broken mind has embodied aggression. I have no need for your empty life to fill the void in me. 'Cause now I've found a place in my head where I'm finally free. All attempts have failed, and your ship has set its sails. I've gone insane all thanks to you. What is this hell you had to put me through. You never took the action to speak to me. (I've learned) that actions speak louder than words, Regardless of what you have heard. Above all things assigned to do, I always tried to talk to you. But all attempts have failed and your ship has set its sails.

You should not get what you have not earned What I do from here is none of your concern It didn’t work, yeah I know it hurts But it’s gotta give before it gets much worse Gotta give up on you We’ve got a lot of history But there’s too much space between you and me You have plans, yeah I have dreams But do I have the guts in me To leave, pack my shit and leave The irony gets the best of me I’m sad that we split but you’re still happy What I gave to you was more than memories What you took from me wasn’t worth anything Gotta give up on you You never cared enough, you never earned my trust You just took what you could get You never lift me up, I never feel your love I know exactly what this is I’m tired of the weight when you lean on me If I fell you would never stay to carry me

Settling 02:29
I never thought I'd stay in one place Baby, I'm made to move Lately I've been thinking of setting down Staying still and not fucking around Cause I've fucked up my life More than you know And I just can't seem to let it go They say the 20's are the best years of your life Well I haven't found out yet Lately I've been feeling sad and lonely And there's so much more that I need to see But they're plenty of years left I will be the person who I choose to be Sell my shortcomings and cut my losses Take my small problems and smash them to pieces Take a close look I hope you see This shitty life I'm living is still worth leading

They try to tear us down When we head straight up Money well earned makes money well spent There's so much more in this world than dollars and cents You're force fed toxins through your own cup A whole world against you, it's time to stand up Look down deep, no this is not the end They'll try to tell you that death is a trend Hold close to the ones that you love Not to the freedom you are deprived of We like to tell ourselves we're trying In reality We're all just dying Your mind is a battlefield, you'll never win Not even the purest live without sin This life is stagnant, but we're mostly content Make the time you have, be time you well spent

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to share, Some important details that you're unaware I want you to listen, I want you to care, I'll choke to death if I don't clear the air It's not a secret that I obsess, And then I get angry, and then I get stressed And you can't imagine, you can't compare, You have no frame of reference and then you get scared I'm doing my best to help make you see, That it's not your fault, when I'll beg and I'll plead It's much easier just to go back to sleep, We gotta find a place to start because I'm falling apart I never feel happy, I never feel safe, I can't let myself ever stay in one place I look in the mirror and I see the face Of a failure who will never be significant The face that you see from morning to night Is the mask that I put on to hide whats inside I don't take it off until you fall asleep, I don't want you to see what live inside of me I thought I'd get older and it'd go away, But it only gets worse and causes more pain And being alone is getting so hard, I just got to tell you God damnit, I'm falling apart I'm down on my knees in the dark Feeling for whatever is left But the pieces are falling too far God damnit, I'm falling apart I'm down on my knees in the dark (I'm falling apart) Feeling for whatever is left (I'm falling apart) But the pieces are falling too far Don't leave yet, I haven't got to the part that explains at all Don't leave yet, I need some body there to catch me before I fall God damnit, I'm falling apart I wanted to tell you, I wanted to share, Some important details that you're unaware I want you to listen, I want you to care, I'll choke to death if I don't clear the air right now
