I'm Not An Optimist; I'm A Liar 04:34

Softly, sitting and breathing and Waiting, to hear you calling my Name, just hearing you Speak makes it all seem okay Though lately the imminent Ends of your sentences Are looking quite grim Can’t bear to hear them And I understand That it’s hard for you To see us as being More than just friends Let me say That all that you’ve seen Is the worst side of me When your around That’s all I can seem to be And I’m an expert At hiding myself From those who I care about And baby I care for you More than I’ve ever cared For anybody else So it comes as no mystery To me why you say, “I don’t really know you” But I think that you might love me If you knew me, I’m beggin’ you to Since you successfully located everything That I hate about myself I am forced to find Things I could hate about you But this list keeps coming up short Too tired, lost, and misspoken To count the days we’ve lost You left me cold on the streets With nothing but my empty heart Bring back the way things used to be I just want to tell you How I feel But it's not the right time It's never the right time And I wanna let you know Just what you mean to me And it's my hope That I mean the same to you But the problem with hope Is that all it's given me Is a reason to stay alone So I've been on my own Clutching my hope That maybe one day You'll come to love me Now I'm screaming from my solitude Still hoping that you'll love me too And it seems I'll stay alone Until I shake this hope

What Comes Next? 04:03

This is the first time You spoke through my eyes Lets throw it all away Right in front of everyone to see These long nights Have wasted three lost years And I can’t wait to see you here Is this the same conversation? We’ve had twelve times before I don’t mind I love to hear your voice It’s not time to give it up Please say you might be lonely Procrastination wont be Pulling me back tonight If the circumstances come Right over my head It’s safe to say No regrets to take the fall again Down by the river You feel a million miles away I can’t myself to dream another day Are we too much to ask for? Let’s do away with crashing skylines Until they all turn blue again Farewell to the masses that you brought to shame Give me another second and I'll start to breathe My hope isn't gone, but I'm not the same I hope that you'll realize Write a note on the pages we once turned Cuz second guesses kept me waiting for so long Please delay the silence, delay the silence Cuz that’s what got to me

Don’t bring a conflict here tonight Bring your best But plan for the worst There’s not a possible situation That will make me leave first Another day I’ll be on time To see the peace in full fight Tonight you’ll see me alive Not just like every day If I know one thing to say Another picture frame can take this pain away You just take my breath away Believe my other wish Spent living in the bottom Of a fountain I know I’ve found you, I know I’ve found you So bring me back to life We'll pick up right Where I left off To spend every second Breathing for our love I know you’ve got the words But listen to my voice You’ll always be the one for me If you’re gone another night Please let me carry you home The chemistry of youth Brought another night of Waiting by your front door By your front door In your loving grace I’ll never worry I know I’ve found What it takes for you

XII Nugg 03:29

We’re digging deeper to find What’s yours is mine and I’m done in this fall There’s only nine months waiting to see “Where do we belong” In this moment when we capture What’s left to trust but I’m not missing much It’s a true disaster that is more than you can take All my life I’ll pass the time And say goodbye to the lies That will never bring me down Tomorrow is my final try Faith and love are the only things That tend to stay alive The truth is here come right inside It’s the only way to see a day When you don’t have to hide You’re misguided in this new It’s more than satisfaction It’s just the way to keep my head on strait Before it starts to numb I’ll try To make my secrets float away Now there’s something better to say anyway Just say it anyway We’ll turnit up a notch Just to see what we can change In the comfort of my room alone But I’m not alone This song’s not coming in loud Cuz I’m without a doubt The way I always should be But I should’ve never been here

I’m falling faster Than you can see My screams cry out For the love you gave to me You hold me for eternity With dreams of falling stars Broken with nightmares Of all my darkest falls For what its worth I have so much hope For what its worth I’m almost home All my sorrow and shame Can’t mean anything When failure drives me To the ground Supply me with Hope and lungs to breathe Take me where you want Me to be Oh I am yours I am yours Don’t let me fall short Give me the strength To walk this earth A hopeful man With a humble heart These waves are Closing in on me To wash away everything Between This dirt on my shoulder And the stain on your jeans

Left For Dead 04:33
lyrics

Why do all of your imperfections Seem so sweet to me? It seems no matter what you do I will just keep pursuing you And now I’ll stand here, just stand as you Spit in my face It’s so easy to move forward But not so easy to move on When I’m not the only one Who am I? Can you fill me up inside What will it take to leave again My heart is dry and so out of place tonight I cannot bear to see you standing there A smile on your face But I’m over here I’m calling out to the irrational side of you You and me baby we were meant to be Like destiny, now hear my plea You just leave and come to me Then stay right here for eternity Every mention of him sends me over the edge Every little hint of your discontent Can I take the shame again? At least now I know I have a chance These thoughts will still be here in the morning You put the mourn in morning This nightmare won’t stop When I open my eyes I want you all to know That when Love takes control You can never go Until it sets you free

Make It Count 03:25

We’ll make it count when We’re together Another night I wont forget The stain of your lips It’s not a secret that I can’t be without you Believe me tonight This is where I'm meant be The wait is over Together here tonight And I can see you’ll always be So perfect in my eyes Your head on my shoulder And whisper in my ear Take vow so that Tonight will never end There's so much to get off my chest now My hearts still beating as it falls out We'll go down in flames With our love and shame Just to be here together, forever Last year won't make a difference A long walk home I count the stars Right before my eyes I see my life It isn’t much but I’m still here But I’m done with waiting Don’t you forget That it’s only you

Can't Stop, Won't Stop 03:22

There’s no where else to turn There’s no one left in sight The seasons change faster than The time we’ve spent alive I’ll take a second glance Of someone that could be mine My back’s against the wall Because there’s no where left to fall I can see it in your eyes I’m not getting very far But I just wanna let you know But I’ve just gotta let you know I wont let you go The temptation’s growing To forget you where alive And the hourglass is waiting just To run out of time I wanna scream for everyone to see There’s more to life to make believe Than waking up alone I’ll take a second glance Of someone worth my time How can we live When we’re scared to death of dieing And after all this time I wasn’t close to dieing at all The taller you are The harder the fall Will you wake up time To see me with nothing at all
