Canade 02:45
In the corner you'll find my thoughts and me Rocking back and forth singing quietly And we're in the dark so you'll never see You'll just faintly hear the sound of me You say you can fix me but I know you're wrong So I drown out your voice with my headphones on And wash the noise away And break You've seen how I can ache I've been bruising and breaking And always mistaking Your love Like it could really heal me You could really feel me Feel me With my head against the window I see worlds passing by I see you hurting deeply out the corner of my eye If the answers ruin me I'll just say I'm fine Cause at least I'm not completely fucking empty inside You say you can fix me like you feel my pain You act like my sun when I know you're my rain And you wash my world away

And I swore I was almost home But up until now I've never felt so alone your happiness made me question my own compared each other until I'd been outgrown and nothing ever felt much closer to me than you weakness is the enemy and everything i seem to be yeah i loved you and you lost me i'm tired and fading now And I swore maybe I would live When I realized you needed more than I could really give Cause waiting on an answer left me waiting for nothing and waiting left me broken on the floor Left me waiting for more But I've been worse and you've cared less These are the signs of my distress Yeah I loved you so incomplete All the things we could never be Well I've been burned And I've been turned to Someone worse Please tell me what I've become 60 seconds of silence left me paralyzed Cause your pain was captured in my eyes And your pulse was matched up with my breath And I keep breathing into the nothing left From another to another Don't let me go don't throw me away Don't throw me out But you've been worse and I've cared less These are the signs of your distress Yeah I loved you so incomplete All the things we could never be

The Fade 04:24
Settle the smoke and settle the fire Before all the flames come burning up higher We settle the score we always want more Revenge has no end and so we pretend That love isn't passing us And life isn't leaving us And we all aren't gonna be dust Just standing in the rain and waiting to rust This is the fade / The way we were made The things that we gave and the hearts that we break This is the pain / It runs through our veins Courses through our dignity and leaves us so tamed And all of the time the world's passing by And you don't have a clue how you got here This is the fade / the way we were made Just admit that none of it means anything And it's slipping by oh it's slipping by Like half the world is wondering why Oh how did we get so old Just living life the way we're told It's like we woke up one day and decided we were done Looked at ourselves in the mirror Like who have I become And I wonder, how can I look so young and feel so old How did I get to the point where I only know love through what I've been told So I'll wait / and let the time just fade So I'll wait / till the fade slips to nothing cause we gave it away And while we wait we know what's passing us We stand here while life's leaving us And we know someday we'll all be dust Cause I've been stuck my whole life and now I'm screaming enough

Feel Better 04:05
I'll never let you in You're not getting another chance I've seen what you do what you did what you done And you're not worth a second glance And I've been facing the side effects Of my long regrets and my worst ones yet Are the ones I've acquired through you And all the shit that you done that you did that you do I'm not looking to feel better I'm not done with holding on Leaving footprints just in circles change is a stranger to me So tell me what the fuck has changed Who am I now that I'm here I've got blackened lungs And a dirty tongue and a mind undone And a lack of love So just let me hurt I'm not looking to feel better Change is a stranger

Tell me who my friends are I know I haven't sailed that far but I'm still just a kid And life is still out there to live Don't rush me into nothingness It takes some time to make success You know that I've been putting in my best And now all of a sudden I feel incredibly alone Waking up to darkness well I guess that feels like home I should have known it wouldn't last things never stay the same Who was I to think that people liked me that they want to stay Tell me what's been going on Falling in and out of love All the gold fades to black And somewhere left behind a heart attack I swear that I can never go back Deep down I know I miss my dad I miss my home And on some level I'm a joke But what's wrong with a laugh I know That nothing just gets better Sometimes you have to brave the weather Getting past that shit Is worth it know I've worked for this And now all of a sudden I feel incredibly depressed My mind and body overworked my veins they run with stress I should have known it wouldn't work out nothing ever does Cause it was dumb of me to think it would to think I was enough And somewhere in this galaxy There's gotta be someone who loves me Somewhere in the great beyond Is someone I can always count on Oh I swear I can never go back
