Verse 1
I bet you thought that I was gone
I waited for so long to say
I needed to get away from the fire
You should hear what they say about me
I've become a casualty of lies
Destined by design
From a liar
PreChorus
Ignorant, no doubt
Always talking knowing nothing about
Chorus
So kill me, break me down
Because I'm finally happy
I'm sorry if i was wrong
I was barely living
I felt buried alive
I was dead on the inside
And you weren’t there for me
Better late than never
To find out how it was supposed to be
Verse 2
Imagine all the damage hypocrites have done
Self proclaimed priests and virgin nuns
Look down just for an excuse
To abuse you
I'm so glad i got the chance to see
Who doesn't mean shit and who was there for me
They shut down all the rumors and lies
Innocence dies
PreChorus
Ignorant no doubt
Always talking knowing nothing about
Chorus
So kill me, break me down
Because I'm finally happy
I'm sorry if i was wrong
I was barely living
I felt buried alive
I was dead on the inside
And you weren’t there for me
Better late than never
To find out how it was supposed to be
Heavy Ending
Liar, Liar, Liar, why’d you have to
Lie, Lie, Lie, tearing down my
Life, Life, Life, why’d you have to go and kill us all

Always Undone
03:54

Lost all my taste
I know I’m feeling like it’s gone all to waste
When I’ve lost my mind to all the things to say
Don’t make it better and you make me shy away
Fix my brain
Can this be the last time feeling like a flatline
Gotta be someone always on to run
Can’t you see it, refuse to free it
Alone in here but myself I fear
Can’t be ordinary now
Need to find my own way out
Trapped inside a burning house
I set aflame
Always waiting to come undone
Staring down the mirror like a gun
Hold on wait
Not as dark as it sounds I’ll be okay
Just the way I know how to get through the day
Keep the smile grinning, push past the pain
Stop the bleeding
This won’t be the last time but I know I’ll be fine
Everyone’s gone, who I’m running from
Not as clever unless I sever the hanging knot
Miss the closest shot
Can’t be ordinary now
Need to find my own way out
Trapped inside a burning house
I set aflame
Always waiting to come undone
Staring down the mirror like a gun
Can’t stop keeping on
Can’t stop keeping on
Can’t stop keeping on
Feeding off my demons
Can’t be ordinary now
Need to find my own way out
Trapped inside a burning house
I set aflame
Always waiting to come undone
Staring down the mirror like a gun
Can’t stop keeping on
Can’t stop keeping on
Can’t stop keeping on
Feeding off my demons

Intro:
You lied
Can’t speak, Getting in the way
Three words, struggling to say
Everything’s been Thrown away
Verse:
We made years, I found a ring
Stumbled truth that ruined everything
Words poisoned, died
Lost my faith, with each new lie
Deception came easy
But you paused to please me
Everything at stake
Was it Worth to lose me, and
Chorus:
Honestly, if you were honest with me
This wouldn’t be catastrophe
You took my life
And All the Time, you wasted mine
But I still can’t put you behind
Cut and paste Another face
Intro:
You lied
Can’t speak, Getting in the way
Three words, struggling to say
Everything’s been Thrown away
Verse:
Would things change if I stayed?
Would love be enough to look away?
Ignorance blind
Peeking thru squinted eye
Sin is I’m prideful
But you were like a child
Fibbing be honest
Afraid of the trial
Chorus:
Honestly, if you were honest with me
This wouldn’t be catastrophe
You took my life
And All the Time, you wasted mine
But I still can’t put you behind
Cut and paste Another face
Bridge:
I should have loved you better
I admit to being confused
All I did was sacrifice
You cared about you
You cared about you
Quiet quiet quiet quiet, quiet quiet STOP
……
We’re both sitting on the edge of cliff
Too many memories and heart ache to sift
Can’t talk this over, maybe better that way
I imagine this is what you’ve been longing to say
I’m sorry you never slowed to savors the seconds
Sorry for the minutes you’re always right when you’re not
I’m sorry for the weeks YOU abandoned faith in me
Months passed by cold from the lust you lost
YOU created space between us, now it’s been a year
you’re addictions are unhealthy too
Should‘ve held me closer, maybe it wouldn't happened.
Sorry I wasn’t worth enough for you to show it
How can you say you loved me
If you were able to let me go.
You gave up on me. You gave up on us.
But in the end, I’m sorry the most
For not loving you now.
Not even at all.
Final Chorus:
[Ethan singing]
Honestly, were you ever honest with me?
Now I’m the tragedy
All the time, both yours and mine
Now it’s lost behind
Fuck
Honestly, if you were honest with me
This wouldn’t be catastrophe
You took my life
And All the Time, you wasted mine
But I can’t put you behind
Cut and paste Another face
Brent outro
Didnt think I could live without I you
Didnt think I would grow
Didnt think I could live without you
I gotta let you go
Outro:
Goodbye
Didn’t want to say goodbye
Didnt want to say goodbye
Never want to say goodbye
Goodbye

Friction
03:10
|

Out come the liars and the thieves
Making life hard for the weak
Or weak at heart
My love it's been torn apart
I wish that I could say you wanted me
Sometimes the worst thing to do is wait and see
Got friction
Can't fix it
Musician not a magician
God damn it's not easy
But it doesn't have to be hard
You want me to close the door
But I'm already gone
I'm gone
I'd like to explain myself
But your drama is bad for my health
It makes others smile
To see me struggle but only for a while
I'm tired of waiting for others to change
I'll look into myself if I want to rearrange
Got friction can't fix it
Musician not a magician
God damn it's not easy
But it doesn't have to be hard
You want me to close the door
But I'm already gone
It can't be hard to believe
That deep down you wanted me to leave
I left
You want me to close the door
But I'm already gone
It can't be hard to believe
That deep down you wanted me to leave

Verse 1:
It's the beginning of the end
I'll burn down this fucking trend
They're always waiting for us to fall
If I can't run, I'll walk or crawl
Once they got all they needed
They retreated, I was bled
Dry and broken, dead inside
What the hell, at least I tried
PreChorus:
But you never said hello
And you never said goodbye
All you had to do was try
Chorus:
I don't understand
If you really want to be here
Then why'd you ever go
I guess we'll never know
You left saying you're sorry
Yeah I'll see you on the weekend
And you need time alone
You never let us know
Verse 2:
The fakes are taking notes
And stealing all their quotes
They seem to have no thought involved
Just rip it off and the problem's solved
Now look at all the damage done
They act as though a war's been won
But this is just the end, the end of days
Let's hit restart and go different ways
PreChorus:
But you never said hello
And you never said goodbye
All you had to do was try
Chorus:
I don't understand
If you really want to be here
Then why'd you ever go
I guess we'll never know
You left saying you're sorry
Yeah I'll see you on the weekend
And you need time alone
You never let us know
Bridge:
You had to run away, but never forget your friends
Run away, but never forget your friends
Wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't think you're hearing this, listen closely
Because I want you to know that you can't just
Run away and just forget your friends
Run away and never forget your friends
Chorus:
I don't understand
If you really want to be here
Then why'd you ever go
I guess we'll never know
You left saying you're sorry
Yeah I'll see you on the weekend
And you need time alone
You never let us know
This is our way of saying goodbye
This is our way of saying goodbye
Of saying goodbye

Verse1
Feel like I'm drowning deep on the ocean floor
I can't take much more I miss you
I miss you more then words can say
It's how I spend my day
I wanna be with you
I don't wanna let you go
It's not easy to show cause they make it harder
They keep pushing you further away
They provoke it everyday
Chorus
I don't wanna live this way
Without you i don't wanna live another day
It'll be like this forever
I'll never ever surrender
Verse 2
Seems like we're getting there but I'll admit
I see the sadness in your eyes
The pain was unintentional and forced on you
Nothing that I could do
Its like they think they know me
If they did they'd know I died inside
From the selfish cold hearted
You already know
I'll never let you go
Chorus
I don't wanna live this way
Without you i don't wanna live another day
It'll be like t
his forever
I'll never ever surrender
Bridge
I’m unhappy, I’m unhappy
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Soft chous
I don't wanna live this way
Without you I don't wanna live another day
It won't be like this forever
You know I'll never surrender
Chorus
I don't wanna live this way
Without you I don't wanna live another day
It'll be like this forever
You know I'll never surrender
Bridge outro
Im unhappy, Im unhappy
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Counting Sheep

Verse:
Watching closely, listening up
But you don’t even know what's up
It’s like a TV show on episode 3
It’s on your phone and not your TV
This ain’t a game show
It’s become the ultimate test
When she’s gonna give it a rest
All I ever wanted was to not argue
Something that we can never do
We can never do
Chorus:
This has become the end of days we knew, we knew
Sooner or later it was something we had to do
I, I, I don’t want to fight no more
I, I, I can’t take no more
Don’t matter if I’m wrong or if I’m right
You fucked up my life
Verse:
No matter when I left it was too early to leave
I owe you my whole life that's what you’d like to believe
You would never try and pretend that you cared
Until you fed the sheep the lies while they sat and stared
I am over this the drama I won't miss
Turn your head in anger I just wanted a kiss
A kiss, a kiss, the lies, the lies…the fucking lies
Chorus:
This has become the end of days we knew, we knew
Sooner or later it was something we had to do
I, I, I don’t want to fight no more
I, I, I can’t take no more
Don’t matter if I’m wrong or if I’m right
You fucked up my life
Bridge:
All this time, try to save this
I won’t fight
You made up your mind, to destroy mine
But I’m moving on, moving on, moving on
Please remember, I can’t forget
Moving forward but I’m a wreck
Chorus:
This has become the end of days we knew, we knew
Sooner or later it was something we had to do
I, I, I don’t want to fight no more
I, I, I can’t take no more
Don’t matter if I’m wrong or if I’m right
You fucked up my life

Verse 1
It's easier to watch as life passes by
They only wanna waste your time
I know that you wanted more but didnt think that you'd survive
All you needed was a hill to climb
And someone to care
Chorus
I can be, I can be, I can be the one
Who opens up your eyes
I’ll be the one to surprise you
When everything’s complicated (X2)
Verse 2
It’s not so easy although I've tried
You make up for all the sleepless nights
Some days at the end of a rope
Or headed down a lonely slope
But she's like a gift thats fixing me
Im finally feeling like im actually free
The kinda free I never wanna die
And not let moments pass me by
Chorus
I can be, I can be, I can be the one
Who opens up your eyes
I’ll be the one to surprise you
When everything’s complicated (X2)
Bridge
I wanted to, to be the one, that’s yours forever
Now that you’re gone, I’ll say goodbye, your now my never
Chorus
I can be, I can be, I can be the one
Who opens up your eyes
I’ll be the one to surprise you
When everything’s complicated (X2)

Motivated by failure that hasn't happened yet
I'm down to bet you wont be upset
Pre Chorus
Time has come get your feet off the floor
Are you fucking ready for more?

We ain't goin down without a fight
Well work all through the night

No rest when the job ain't done do ya feel me?
As I reverse what i use to be

Are you fucking ready for more?
Chorus
We ain't goin down without a fight
Well work all through the night
Nonstop until we get it right

November
04:12
|

My life's a chaotic mess
I'm drowning in your stress
Tell me what you want to hear
I'll see you in my rearview mirror
Problems stack but I’ll bounce back
Hidden message in every track
Even at my worst I see it clearly
You only want to fight when you're not near me...
I don't want to go
I don't want to go
I want to stay
Do you want to hear a love song or the reality of Life
First it feels good then it stabs you with a knife
Wake up anxiety pissed at everyone
Everyone I'm back again
I'm not afraid to die
I'm afraid not to live
How much more do I have to give?
It wouldn't make sense it's not about you
Understand I've got a lot I want to do
My heart's turning black and blue
I will never let you fall
So please don't push me till I'm not around
I don't want to go
I don't want to go
I want to stay
Do you want to hear a love song or the reality of Life
First it feels good then it stabs you with a knife
Wake up anxiety pissed at everyone
Everyone, I'm back again
I remember November like yesterday
I remember November like yesterday
Something happened to me
I'm expecting more
Unlike ever before

Verse 1
No bullshit, anticipation
I don’t want to hear the same conversation
Maybe if you answered, you’d be sitting here
I don’t want to talk, I just want to rock
I don’t to go on tour, I don’t want to bore
You with all this work as if my times all a joke
PreChorus
You didn’t just leave me, you left everyone
Chorus
Hold me back again, I don’t need a fake friend
I don’t even want to know your name
I guess we’re not the same
But we already knew that
If you didn’t get the things that you wanted to see
You didn’t want nothing to do with me
So take your ball and run
You almost took out all the fun
Verse 2
I benefited you, you benefitted me
I was willing to wait but you were unhappy
I don’t know why you were mad
Looking back it’s kinda sad
Let’s take this nice and slow
You were the one to go
Pack all your things and leave
Leave all of us behind
PreChorus
You didn’t just fool me, you fooled everyone
Chorus
Hold me back again, I don’t need a fake friend
I don’t even want to know your name
I guess we’re not the same
But we already knew that
If you didn’t get the things that you wanted to see
You didn’t want nothing to do with me
So take your ball and run
You almost took out all the fun
Heavy Bridge
I hope you’re listening
Forget the times, my name, my face
Refuse to pretend you can just replace me
PreChorus
You didn’t just fuck me, you fucked everyone
Chorus
Hold me back again, I don’t need a fake friend
I don’t even want to know your name
I guess we’re not the same
But we already knew that
If you didn’t get the things that you wanted to see
You didn’t want nothing to do with me
So take your ball and run
You almost took out all the fun
Outro
It’s okay we’re not the same
I believe we can relate
Guess it’s true that people change
But doesn’t mean we have to fade
So take your ball and run
You took out all the fun
I guess we’re not the same
Oh no we’re not the same
Forget the times (x5)

Verse 1
From the largest stages, to the smallest dives
Checked my pulse, still alive
It ain’t all that bad, comes with the territory
I am made to bleed, but that’s a different story
Right back to where we started
2010 I was broken hearted
We’ve been through worse than this
But you’re the only one, I’m really gonna miss
Chorus
I’ll see you around and I’m sorry that I pushed you so damn hard
Yeah I’ll see you around, every time we’re downtown, you paved the way
I’ll see you around and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more, but I still feel it
I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery
Like a battery
Verse 2
We survived the storm, but didn’t notice the rain
When the sun came up we felt the pain
Taking time to rock was the only plan
We didn’t give a shit about getting out of Spokane
Soon 5 years faded, concerts raided,
When your best friend turned on you
It was obvious you were gone too
We didn’t care we knew what we had to do
Chorus
I’ll see you around and I’m sorry that I pushed you so damn hard
Yeah I’ll see you around, every time we’re downtown, you paved the way
I’ll see you around and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more, but I still feel it
I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery
Like a battery
Heavy Bridge
Wont! Burn! Out! Like a Battery!
You can leave it, but I need it
You can’t stop me, I’m the energy!
I’ve put in everything that I am
No excuses I’m not ready to end
Soft Bridge
I’ll see you around, I’ll see you around
I’ll see you around, I’ll see you around, yeah
Let’s talk about all the times that we had
And how you didn’t want to be there
Watch us start over again, this is just the beginning
Chorus
I’ll see you around and I’m sorry that I pushed you so damn hard
Yeah I’ll see you around, every time we’re downtown, you paved the way
I’ll see you around and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more, but I still feel it
I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery
I still feel the melody, your light burned out like a battery
Like a battery

Island Disappeared
03:43

Verse 1:
Sometimes I think that maybe this is all a bad dream
With no intention for it to hurt
Or tear down your integrity
I just want you to find some comfort
Misery and sorrow seem to clear the way
Self despair will ruin you day by day
I see the writing on the wall
Don’t think I didn’t care at all
Chorus:
Something tells me I shoulda helped you out
Your whisper
I needed you to scream or shout
The look in your eyes told me lies
I believed you even though you told me a thousand times
I know you’ve got an island
In your mind all by yourself
I know that I should have helped you out
Verse 2:
And now as time passes by
I still can’t figure out why
You gave up on yourself
You had a lot to lose
But I never walked in your shoes
I just want you to be happy
Misery and sorrow seem to clear the way
Self despair will ruin you day to day
I see the writing on the wall
Don’t think I didn’t care at all
Chorus:
Something tells me I shoulda helped you out
Your whisper
I needed you to scream or shout
The look in your eyes told me lies
I believed you even though you told me a thousand times
I know you’ve got an island
In your mind all by yourself
I know that I should have helped you out
Soft Chorus:
Something tells me I shoulda helped you out
I needed you
I needed you to scream or shout
Chorus:
Something tells me I shoulda helped you out
Your whisper
I needed you to scream or shout
The look in your eyes told me lies
I believed you even though you told me a thousand times
I know you’ve got an island
In your mind all by yourself
I know that I should have helped you out

Broken - Bonus
03:27

I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
I met you late night, at a party
Some trust fund baby's Brooklyn loft
By the bathroom, you said let's talk
But my confidence is wearing off
These are my people
These are my friends
She grabbed my face and that's when she said
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
There's something tragic, but almost pure
Think I could love you, but I'm not sure
There's something wholesome, there's something sweet
Tucked in your eyes that I'd love to meet
These are my people
These are my friends
She grabbed my face and that's when she said
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
Life is not a love song that we like
We're all broken pieces floating by
Life is not a love song, we can try
To fix our broken pieces one at a time
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
I like that you're broken
Broken like me
Maybe that makes me a fool
I like that you're lonely
Lonely like me
I could be lonely with you
