Verse:
Hello, I thought this time I’d have something better to say
About spending the time I didn’t want to have in the first place
You'll be doing just fine without me, I know
I seem to be the person who always needs a little more
Chorus:
I’ll leave you alone just to prove you’d be fine
Wandering through dark memories, keep hitting rewind
And you won't feel a thing
I don't want to feel a thing
Verse 2:
I can’t make any more memories that later will rot
Entire places, songs, and smells wanting to be forgot
I told myself that if they wanted me they would come
But the big empty’s words are just trying to keep me numb
Chorus:
I’ll leave you alone just to prove you’d be fine
Wandering through dark memories, keep hitting rewind
And you won't feel a thing
I don't want to feel a thing
Bridge:
The closer I get, it’s you I fear
But when I hide, I wish to be near
Nothing lasts, but the empty can’t stay
So please don't take the love away
Chorus:
I’ll leave you alone just to prove you’d be fine
Wandering through dark memories, keep hitting rewind
And you won't feel a thing
I don't want to feel a thing

Broken Glass Remastered

Verse:
You say you want to chat, but talking about it won’t bring her back
I told you that it was fine; I didn’t expect her to stay this long anyways
But if I were to do it again I would take back those things I never shoulda said
My eyes are broken glass. They shimmer and crack with thoughts of my past
Of all the loved ones that could never last because this world is so harsh and our skins are so thin
But if I could then I would take back that look from your eyes that there’s something missing
Verse 2:
In the night, resistance falls short. My arms feel so weak as I’m closing the door
And the fallen will scream out their names. Telling me for each that I am to blame
I am to blame for the could of’s and would of’s of shame and the minds I couldn’t tame
The morning will wash away the pain. The holes in my heart and the blood in my brain
I’ll learn to dance in the rain. To pay all the fine for mistakes that I’ve made
But I can’t pay off the debt in the look in your eyes or the pain deep inside

Verse:
If you want me to believe I can be loved... love me yourself
You don’t appreciate how slippery the slope is... until you slip
I thought if I sang about this, I wouldn’t have to keep telling myself… not to forget
But how can I sing, when I’m the kind of tired… you can’t sleep off
Chorus:
I hate when they say I’ll look back and see
The things that take time, will be complete
For the day I say I love to breathe
And live through all the ghosts I meet
And all the ghosts… I’ve known
Verse 2:
I just wanted someone to know and all… and still not leave
I wanted to speak but I don’t like the words I say… I don’t want to make this worse
And my silence is louder than I’ll be, listen to my nothing… and you’ll feel it too
So I’ll practice losing you every day before I do… so I can survive
Chorus:
I hate when they say I’ll look back and see
The things that take time, will be complete
For the day I say I love to breathe
And live through all the ghosts I meet
And all the ghosts… I’ve known
Bridge:
I don’t know what I’ll do if it’s taken away
All I can do is hope
All I can do is just cope if it’s taken away
taken away
Outro:
To live through all the ghosts I meet
And all the ghosts… I’ve known
I hate when they say I’ll look back and see
The things that take time, will be complete
For the day I say I love to breathe
And live through all the ghosts I meet
And all the ghosts… I’ve known

Funeral Home Remastered

|
|||
|
Verse:
I was afraid to create a life I could have to leave behind
I saw the person I needed, but couldn’t find
I grieved the ghost I met as I got to know her
The potential I saw stopped breathing and wouldn’t stir
Chorus:
Tell me, tell me, are you home now?
Tell me, tell me, are you home now?
Because that house was something else
Verse:
Two years later and I still don’t know what happened to me
Leaking too much empathy to provide for those in need
I’m now a trap in my self-defense, fueled by spite or fear
Tethered to a heavy heart, drowning everyone too near
Chorus:
Tell me, tell me, are you home now?
Tell me, tell me, are you home now?
Because that house was something else
Bridge:
And how are you?
Wherever you are
I’ll bet you’re doing better than me
Chorus:
Tell me, tell me, are you home now?
Tell me, tell me, are you home now?
Because that house was something else

Verse:
When I was young, I could believe in ghosts
But now I know you were never really there
When I was young, I’d fall asleep to stories
But now this is one that is keeping me up
Chorus:
My legs aren’t broken, but I still cannot walk
And I have all my words, but I still cannot talk
My door is unlocked, but I can’t let you in
I can’t let you in
Verse 2:
When you can breathe, without me
Maybe those doctors can go home and sleep
All those times in the past, when I thought things could last
I wasn’t a nihilist and I had a home
Chorus:
My legs aren’t broken, but I still cannot walk
And I have all my words, but I still cannot talk
My door is unlocked, but I can’t let you in
I can’t let you in
Bridge:
When I was young, I was always alone
Tell me when I can say that changed
Tell me will it change?
Please make it change
Change
Chorus:
My legs aren’t broken, but I still cannot walk
And I have all my words, but I still cannot talk
My door is unlocked, but I can’t let you in
I can’t let you in

Verse:
I told myself to stop thinking
I wish it worked like that
If you go looking for pain, you will find it
Don’t go, come home
Chorus:
I thought this time for sure I would have it
But I got lost in desire and couldn’t grab it
All I feel is a fear for a life I’m not afraid to lose
The bridge was burned, but not from my side
Verse 2:
I’m terrified of being terrified
I’m terrified of wasting time
And I can’t help but be afraid
When I don’t know what that means
Chorus:
I thought this time for sure I would have it
But I got lost in desire and couldn’t grab it
All I feel is a fear for a life I’m not afraid to lose
The bridge was burned, but not from my side
Verse 3:
I was in my quiet darkness
I tried not to hear my heartbeat
Because you said you were busy
Maybe I can forget myself too
Chorus:
I thought this time for sure I would have it
But I got lost in desire and couldn’t grab it
All I feel is a fear for a life I’m not afraid to lose
The bridge was burned, but not from my side
