Sleep 03:32
I've been fighting a war I've been coming up short Been dragging myself through the mud and the dirt When I know half the people I meet Are going through twice as much as me But the stress is always catching up Whatever I do It's never enough This weight on my shoulders is feeling rough So I I just wanna sleep Sometimes It's not that I want to lay down and die I just need relief Need to find a place to shut my eyes Find a way to find some peace Vacation seems so far from me When everyday's a new something Look, I I just wanna sleep I've been having a time at night Of figuring out what my life's really like It's not always golden peace I find Exhaustion is constant state of mind But everyone I know is Going through something So maybe I'm just complaining But I still always feel like I just wanna sleep At night Wanna close my eyes Without feeling like failure's right by my side I wanna feel my peace Oh, I I just wanna sleep

Where went the honesty? The things that we all agreed Were virtues we said that we need With our morals still dying We're no longer trying To hide the decay There's no more honor Responsibillity Where did it run to? Why did it leave? This is what it comes to It’s sick and it’s sad But it’s all that we have It’s time that we all took a stand Against the world Feels like it's us against the world I could swear we're the majority And still nobody's listening We're only biding our time Where went the loyalty? Basic things that we all believed Now seem like precious gold If everything's burning The world is still turning We still need somebody to lead Somebody with...

We say we're equal in the eyes of God But there's some things that you can't come back from Or come back the same But you never connect with that pain Never see the damage Everything you love Everything that's precious Could all be gone in a single moment A lapse of judgement And hearts are broken Your daydreams Have started the rot in your bones You've forced me to walk on my own When you should stand up with me Instead of running towards the things That keep you empty They keep you empty inside And you know you can't hide You toy with this in your mind That this could all be justified But you can't keep what you have And have what you want Compromise The beginning of Compromise The beginning of your end What you want will be the death of What you want will be the death of What you want will be the death of What you want will be the death of You

I found out at an early age what I see is temporary Friends don't stay friends when you're out of sight So I stuck close to family If everything's fading I think that's okay with me The change keeps me who I am Even though it's contrary I grew up without a home town Where my brothers were my best friends We'd find a town and settle down Then leave before we could settle in But it's a good thing that this place Isn't my home for very long Because as much as I try To stay around I'm always I'm always moving on As years went by I learned the value of loyalty It takes courage to take a stand And heart to believe in anything Seems like the only things people cling to Are what's fading But my strings are cut I won't be held down by anything I won't give up my life For what's fleeting I won't bleed and I won't die For what's changing I won't give up my life For what's fading I won't bleed and I won't die I won't die

The Outside 01:44
Looks like the world is catching up to My cynical point of view And the pessimists of our time Are slowly proven right Is this my coming of age? Or just the world that we live in? The darkest of days? Or typical condition? And the saddest part of this is The people who think They're making a difference Are feeding their godheads In moral obligation To their television sets The screens held in their hands Either way I want out I won’t fight for this I’ll fight for something else We strive to live, to fight To never have to choose a side Never contribute to The wickedness we've seen We'll push on and break the lines Break down the ties of this divide I'll keep swinging till I die To live, to fight On the outside

I feel myself tossing and turning Like the waves of the sea And I hate this feeling like I'm sinking When the water's only three feet deep How did it come to this? I had years of practicing It's not like I'm smarter than I was before But decision After decision It starts to wear on you And the secrets You keep hidden Tear yourself in two But I I know you're right by me It isn't hard to see But I close my eyes And you You're the reason that I breathe I know you're everything But I can't find you I feel the world clawing at me now Trying to pull me down And I hate that I'm falling But I can't keep crawling I gotta find my way out
