Empty Out Who You Are

A little time goes far
Alone in a room
it’s time to empty out who you are
It’s the fact that we could do more
In all of this mess I hope you find what it is
You’re looking for
I know I’ve been hurting
Cuz you don’t sound like your old self
You don’t sound like your old self anymore
You don’t sound like you’re giving em hell
And who you want to be is not too far
alone in a room empty out who you are
What have you found thus far
Old reruns of let downs
and other times I lowered the bar
But I saw something I know it was a glimpse
Of who I’m becoming if I continue this
Empty. Out who. You are
Cuz I don’t sound like my old self
I don’t sound like my old self anymore
I don’t sound like I’m giving em hell
And who I want to be is not too far
Alone in a room empty out who you are

Up Again

Are you up again
Are you keeping with the clock
Are you two good friends
Married in the dark
If every single loved one you knew was awake would you really wanna see them what difference would it make
And if I took walk in the dark off the path I leave my keys in the ignition
Nothing is the best because nothing really feels like nothing
When I’m at my best balancing on the crest and it’s a long way down
Nothing is the best
Nothing is the best
Are you up again
Are you keeping with the clock
Are you two good friends
Buried in the dark
If every single loved one that you knew was awake would you really wanna see them what difference would it make
And if I took a walk in the dark off the path I leave my keys in the ignition
I leave my keys in the ignition
I leave keys
Nothing is the best because nothing really feels like nothing
Feel it in your chest nothing is the best be nothing
Please
But are you up again
Are you keeping with the clock
Are you two good friends
Married in the dark
And if every single loved one that you knew was awake would you really wanna see them what difference would it make and if I took a walk in the dark off the path I leave my keys in the ignition
Nothing is the best cuz nothing really feels like nothing
When I’m at my best balancing on the crest and it’s a long way down
Nothing is the best
Nothing is the best

Drown
01:56

All I see
I knew
I know
I found
No I don’t think you deserve to help me
Drown
Get away from the edge I found
Something deep down where it
It
It
It
Haunts me it pulls and holds me down
I should be a friend but I know I’m a frown
And I don’t think you deserve to help me
Drown
Get away from the edge where
I’ll be
I’m here till the end
All I do and I have not found it
Have not found it
Uh for my self and how I’ll reach that

Nothing Goes Right
01:52

Everybody’s so sure
Livin by the brochure
Guaranteed to knock ‘em dead
We don’t really feel that
We don’t see the fat stack
You’ll just be weight Instead
Nothing ever goes right
And I know it’s this time
And I know it’s maybe
And I know it’s going down
Everybody feels like
Everybody knows right
And I know it’s maybe and I know it’s going down
Everybody shows me
Everybody shows me
That nobody knows me yet
Everybody blows back
There’s not really contact
You’ll just be weight instead
Nothing ever goes right
And I know it’s this time
And I know it’s maybe
And I know it’s going down
Everybody feels like
Everybody knows right
And I know it’s maybe and I know it’s going down

Better Than I Ever
02:34

Hey look there’s an open spot on 14th
And first of three
They hit me in the head with cold feet
In my time of need
Get real get off of me I can’t breathe
And I’m not your thrill
Stop lying through your gold teeth
I guess you weren’t for real
I never thought it this far it’s far better than I thought it would I never thought through this far
Im in the car and
This far it’s far
Better than I thought it was
I never thought I’d make it this far
But then
Im giving too much blood to the fake
Oh yeah they can’t remember other sides of my name
Oh wow hey look how
I made it this far
Go look and see it for yourself now
It’s a gutted shell
But listen close and you can make it out
Personal hell
I can’t keep going if no one can tell
Im held up by strings
Are you not entertained
I mean well but this isn’t my scene
I never thought it this far it’s far better than I thought it was I never thought I’d make it this far

Waiting For Something
02:34
|
|||
|
Out of the darkness
And into the sun I see
Like you’re waiting for something to be said
I didn’t realize you pushing me back against
A wanna be someone on the edge
I didn’t know who I was
I didn’t know who I was
And if the clock ticks
Keep the pace on your own
It keeps me up in the nighttime
By choice
And I don’t know why but
Im keeping alone I see
Except the face in the mirror
On time off track
I didn’t know who I was
I didn’t know who I was

Will It To Be Real
02:52
|
|||
|
I don’t want everybody saving me
No not this time
It’s time to lie
Alright
I don’t wanna be the one to lose it sooner
I don’t wanna worry I
Don’t wanna be this type
And it’s all in a days work lately
Falling behind again
You should have really been there
As a kid
Now I will it to be real
Now I will it to be real
Now I will it to be real
Real
Been here on and on you seem to mean it
I know this isn’t right
Don’t try and sell me lies
If I give you all my time and this is how you notice the illusions I know it’s true and why would you
Wanna to do your son
Like you would any other
Excuses are really fun
Can I have one
Now I will it to be real
Now I will it to be real
Now I will it to be real
Real

Looking Back
02:44
|

Looking back I felt like screaming at the floor
Setting back my efforts to get a grip or more
Am I wise now from all of my mistakes
I’ve realized that I feel better when I stay away
you wanna know well I don’t feel very known
Yeah I wanna know why you won’t come to my home
I’ll make it easy you’ll know
Looking back I felt like screaming at the floor
Setting back my efforts to get a grip or more
Am I wise now from all of my mistakes
I’ve realized that I feel better when I stay away
I’m asking myself why
I’m asking through the mic
Can anyone hear me
Don’t try and steer me away
I’m digging deeper now
I want to know how
I’m not allowed to make
A plea aloud unless it’s fake
And perfectly aligns
With all the hive mind
How do you really feel
Can we for once just keep it real
I’m talking to your face
Won’t hear a word I say
You’ve got your complex
I’ve got my complex too
You’re not at fault for that
Nobody’s asking but hey
We can try our real best
That’s what our parents did I guess
The worst part deeper down
The world keeps falling out
But here we are lately
Arguing like babies
Please pull my engine out
Please turn me off somehow
Knock out my batteries
Listen to the slowing speech

Looking At The Ocean
03:49
|
|||
|
as I wake up to the loudest sound of my life
I miss the minute prior
Still in my peace
Made a friend who lacks the ability to cry
But only really if you need to see tears
That’s all talk you’re wrong if memory serves us the best
Check the cavalcade of keeping off track
In my hand I won’t let go of all this broken glass
Cuz I’m not losing that
Won’t loosen up my grasp
But no one’s there in fact
And all of this in my head
In my head
And I know I’m not right
I don’t think looking at the oceans much of a life
Give it some sort of time I don’t think looking at the oceans much of a life
And I know I’m not right
I don’t think
I don’t think
Should have know that no helps was coming
I’ll open up my head some so you can climb in cold
I’ve only done it once and that was enough
I can’t shake the feeling
Riding a downward path
It’s been real but I should really take off
All the pretty things perhaps they’re just painted on
Why won’t the pain just stop
210 foot drop
And I know I’m not right
I don’t think looking at the oceans much of a life
Give it some sort of time
I don’t think looking at the oceans much of a life
Should have known that no help was coming
I’ll open up my head some so you can climb in cold
I’ve only done it twice and that was enough
On the screen I can see what’s coming
They’ll open up my head some until their stomachs full
What has life become but the killing of time
Just waiting to die

You're Empty

Beeline
I didn’t wanna waste time
I’ve realized
All of the problems I have
Didn’t start as mine
I just want to feel whole
Oh congratulations you know your worth
Now you’re empty
Congratulations it doesn’t hurt
Now you’re empty
Congratulations you know your worth
Now you’re empty
Congratulations
Money could buy
A new heart or some more time
But if we don’t speak at all that’s like getting higher just to fall
I know I can’t go home
I just wanna feel whole
I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel
Oh congratulations you know you’re worth
Oh congratulations you know your worth
Now you’re empty
Congratulations it doesn’t hurt
Now you’re empty
Congratulations you know your worth
Now you’re empty
Congratulations
Oh congratulations you know your worth
Now you’re empty
Congratulations it doesn’t hurt
Now you’re empty
