We're breaking up
And down again
can't find it within myself
To change
We're breaking up
And down again
I can't find it within myself
Myself
So close your eyes
I'll be there when you wake
Slipping away
So close your eyes
I'll be there when you wake
You wake

Ocean
We all live in glass houses
Yet these rocks always bounce off the walls
This reality feels so unreal
There's no shattered glass on the floor
I'm shouting at the top of my lungs
But I'm hearing next to no response
I thought there would be a way to escape
But I was wrong
I sleep with one eye open
And won't turn my back
I can't find it within myself to build the courage that I lack
This sand can't be turned to glass
The waves are turning far too fast
I'm swept away with the tide
But I always wonder why
My body is confined
So to is my mind
They say if you're weak you cry
Does that mean I have to lie
All I feel is the cold
When I step out my comfort zone
All I feel is the cold
When did I become so alone
I sleep with one eye open
And won't turn my back
I can't find it within myself to build the courage that I lack
This sand can't be turned to glass
The waves are turning far too fast
I'm swept away with the tide
But I always wonder why
The choices we make
Are a sentiment to us
Beyond this frightening ocean
Is where we want to be
It's where we want to be
It's where we want to be
I sleep with one eye open
And won't turn my back
I can't find it within myself to build the courage that I lack
This sand can't be turned to glass
The waves are turning far too fast
I'm swept away with the tide
But I always wonder why
I always wonder why

Let's Catch Fire
And these leaves are rotting slow
In the darkness of your dreams
And the nightmares start to grow
I need to find those vaccines
That help me through the hardest parts
Of having to think alone at night
That save me from all the beasts
That come to plague my sight
Remember when they said nothing lasts forever
And they wished us luck in our endeavours
You can't always see the light
So make your own
And set this world on fire
We're facing the battle we lost
Turned side to side
As both our worlds meet
We find our lives collide
(And I take it in my stride)
It's time to ignite the flame
And watch as everyone does the same
History will remember your name
Remember when they said nothing lasts forever
And they wished us luck in our endeavours
You can't always see the light
So make your own
And set this world on fire
Let's go
Remember when they said nothing lasts forever
And they wished us luck in our endeavours
You can't always see the light
So make your own
And set this world on fire

Captive
The blood he spills paints beauty on the canvas
The rose he carries never loses it's petals
This wild flower requires your nurturing
Although it hurts to find there is a heart behind these nettles
This mask may be carved by the best sculptures
Who portray that he is not afraid
Of the world and what it has thrown at him
A forced smile shows that he can't be saved
I'm falling for the passion that he gave
But it gets harder and harder for him
In his world he can't be saved
Captive to everything
Captive to everything
He feels so alone
He feels so alone
Memories can sometimes set you free
But for him it's just a constant reminder
That despite all the hard-work and dedication he puts in
This deep crevasse only gets wider
He needs you as much as you need
him
You're not alone
You're not alone
I'm falling for the passion that he gave
But it gets harder and harder for him
In his world he can't be saved
Captive to everything
Captive to everything
He feels so alone
He feels so alone
And he needs your love
But always pushes you away
It's not that he doesn't care
More that he's scared
Of being hurt again
Of being hurt again
You can't save me
You can't save him
You can't save her
You can't save me
You can't save him
You can't save me
You can't save him
Unless you come back

Synopsis
My attention to detail
Has left me wanting more
I feel like the one
Am I the only one
(Left licking wounds
Of scars I don't understand)
Cast your eyes
Over everything
Do you see anything
I feel like my worlds burning down
My heavy eyes
Always leave me wanting more
Up till now
Sell me your reasons
They couldn't be further from the truth
Got to hold onto to what's left of this noose
Hold my hands up to the skies
Pray to god I'll find my way
Got to hold on
I feel like letting go
Everytime I see your face
I know this was my choice
Theres no air in my lungs up till now
Sell me your reasons
They couldn't be further from the truth
Got to hold on to what's left of this noose
Hold my hands up to the skies
Ive got to find my way
Hold on
I feel like letting go
Sell me your reasons
They couldn't be further from the truth
Got to hold on to what's left of this noose
Hold my hands up to the skies
Pray to god I'll find my way
Got to hold on
I feel like letting go

Choices
It's not too late
To make a change
It's not too late
To make a change
I traipse around old dreams
To satisfy my needs
Of a future
Id converse with old friends
I'm trying to make amends
To something already lost
There's something strange
About wanting nothing to change
To change
To change
(Embrace the change
Embrace the change)
There's a time and place
For my heart to race, not now
Try not to overthink
Until these feelings calm down
Stop holding onto the past
It's time to move forward at last
(It's not too late)
I close my eyes and remember
When I was a boy
Id feel notions of joy
Life was something to enjoy
Nothing could be destroyed
There's a time and place
For my heart to race, not now
Try not to overthink
Until these feelings calm down
Stop holding onto the past
It's time to move forward at last
I feel like I'm all alone
Just trying to find my home
I feel like I'm all alone
Just trying to find my home
Just trying to find my home
It's not too late
To make a change
It's not too late
To make a change
I think I've found my way
To the shore
I think I've found my way
To the shore
I think I've found my way
