Alone

I think I was built for a lonelier life
Do much better on my own
I've got some friends got some people who care for me
And I'll always let them down
I do alright when I'm driving at night
With nobody else on the road
I like to look at the interesting people
Who live in the screen of my phone
And I wouldn't say that I'm lonely
I would just say I'm a little lost
I wanna walk to somewhere I've never been
Wanna start it anew
I want the power to fix all my problems
Any time I wanted to
I could be honest but I'd rather not be
I like a bit of distance
I'll break my own heart before I let anyone else
Try to break it again
And I wouldn't say that I'm lonely
I would just say I'm a little lost
I'm in the middle of all my distractions
Disguised as an honest man
I wanna be loved without people knowing
Anything about who I am
And I wouldn't say that I'm lonely
And I wouldn't say that I'm lonely
And I wouldn't say that I'm lonely
And I wouldn't say that I'm lonely

Relapse

I'm so far removed from you
I'm happy your gone
Want nothing to do with you
But still I hold on
To happier days
Feel the time slip away
I don't want it back I just wish that I
Could still feel that way
I don't wanna turn back time
I'm not fond of my past
I think I'm a better man
Than when you saw me last
But now I don't smile
And I must confess
I am still looking for something to fill
The hole in my chest
I should be satisfied
I should be alright
I've got a million drugs
That help me sleep at night
But I'm still a stranger
Watching everything change
I'm in the audience watching my life
Play out on a stage
I feel november
Coming every year
The air tastes like smoke
The wind's always here
But I'm getting older
And memories fade
And maybe one day I'll look forward to feeling
The wind's embrace

And you've done nothing
to be in the position you're in
And I'm still wondering
Which part of my heart is missing
I'll go to the water
To find a way to cleanse my soul
You'll witness the slaughter
Of all the things you held so close
I've been calculating failure rates
And checking back on where I went wrong
I've been tracing back the ties I have
To try to find out where I belong
I once saw forever
Through the eyes of someone else
The glow slowly faded
As I watched her find out who I am
I prayed for an option
Hated what was given to me
I searched for direcction
But I'm wandering aimlessly
I've been calculating failure rates
And checking back on where I went wrong
I've been tracing back the ties I have
To try to find out where I belong
I've been finding all the X's
On treasure maps that I made up myself
And I've been crossing T's and dotting I's
And wishing I were doing something else
Cover of the night
You'll be out of sight
But never out of mind

On The Clock

And I'll hop online with you
Spending hours a night after work just to lose
But I never mind, I'm just passing the time
Get the joy while I can, hope that I still get to feel like this again
Finding time to see my college friends
Schedule dinner in a month from now, the only time we had
And everyone's getting engaged
There's another one on instagram every other day
Its passing me by
All the time
Its passing me by
All the time
Now I buy the gifts under the tree
The ones that I used to recieve
And I'll call my mom on the way into work
And ask her how I can do this for 40 fucking years
Its passing me by
All the time
Its passing me by
All the time
And I see my friends sometimes
Shoot the shit like we used to it all feels fine
And some of them stayed and some of them left
Most of them tell me they're glad I'm not dead
And its gonna be alright
Its a lot just to say I survived
And Its gonna be alright
Its a lot just to say I survived

I Want Out!
05:00

Scream at the dark on the drive home
Stare at the mile markers off the road
Wanting to let go of the steering wheel
I think I've made the wrong decisions
I know I hate the place I live in
It still gets cold here but for how much longer
And I want out
I want out
I want out
And I want out
I want out
I want out
A shot of whiskey to keep me warm
Another to calm the rising storm
Think of the place I used to go that isn't there now
And I can't love the way I used to
I'm not strong I'm broken, ran through
And I'm too used to spending all my nights alone
And I want out
I want out
I want out
And I want out
I want out
I want out
And I still see your face at night
Relive the moment you said we'd be alright
But all you've touched has turned to poison in my mind
The past has always come to haunt me
I think I'll always be stuck wondering
If this life's the one I've built or just the hand that I was dealt
But I want out
I want out
I want out
And I want out
I want out
I want out
And I want out
I want out
I want out
And I want out
I want out
I want out
