COMEBACK KID LYRICS

1. Die Knowing

I was searching the streets where we lost our stride, making our way through the earth
My heart was marching to a different beat while my choices were making it harder to find
You took the straight and narrow, prying eyes watching from overhead
I took the other, down, but recovered and I would do it all over and over again

Disappointment, dedication
Elevated catastrophe

Die knowing that you lived to find
Die knowing where your friendships lie
Die knowing you gave nothing less
Die knowing it was imminent
Die knowing what your failures find
Die knowing where your friendships lie
Die knowing you gave nothing less
Die knowing it was imminent

2. Lower The Line

Stormy summer day is in the way of all the could’ve been's and should’ve been's
How do you anticipate this distorted tragedy
Things like this don’t just go away, things like this tear your family
And I admit I can’t relate, believe me I won’t walk away

’Cause when the circumstance holds you back...Lower the line

Harness, focus Your broken vessel
When you paint that picture; When you’re all shook up

Harness, focus; ’Cause you know it won’t die in your sleep

You finally said it out loud,
Stormy summer day is in the way of all the could’ve been's and should’ve been's
How do you anticipate this distorted tragedy
Maybe you’re not dead though this could be the end of your world
But this door isn’t sealed the black hole might tear if you fight
And I’ma be around until you see the light of day

I can see your pain
I don’t see you shaded in a different light

3. Wasted Arrows

I wrote it off before the story began and it came down to this, I can’t pretend
You’ve been reckless, and lately I can tell by your front
You’ve misled me before, now I know what you want

I’ve seen versions of you, they’re becoming impossible to follow (well, you’re something else)
Wasted arrows
Two worlds drawn apart; Was it desperation that pushed you over? (I can see you’re not lucking out, man)
Wasted arrows

Prey on the weakness

You put out the bait you’d try anything
I resented you ’cause you left me out to dry

4. Losing Sleep

[feat. Pauly Correia]

You told me once, back at it again always the same with it, I can’t stop you
Well maybe it’s true for you, but I’m not seeing it. You wanna live with it, but I’ve got no room

Well maybe it’s true for you, and I won’t stop you
Give me some space to breathe, ’cause I’ve got no room
Well maybe it’s true for you, and I can’t stop you
Give me some space to breathe, ’cause I can’t rest here with you

I’ve gotta be reasonable but it’s all become too predictable
I’m letting it ride, but I’m not losing sleep. This future is not up to you.

Rise up for the innocent. Tried it on but it didn’t fit.
Guard down, there’s a subtle flame .Subtle moment to have your say
Lining up opposite of me. What a moment of clarity, a shining moment to say…For what?
I know, so what!
I’m not about it, you can have it

I’ve gotta be reasonable but it’s all become too predictable
I’m letting it ride, but I’m not losing sleep. This future is not up to you.

I’m not losing sleep

Rise up for the innocent. Tried it on but it didn’t fit.
Guard down, there’s a subtle flame. Subtle moment to have your say.

5. Should Know Better

Adamant, adamant. Tunnel vision view. Wasn’t gonna pull the plug, had to see it through
What a bright idea that wouldn’t quit. Somewhat empty but I took a healthy sip
Then I tripped when it got harder to see in over my head and now it’s hanging over me

I’ve only made things worse today
And everyone, everything’s in my way
Adding insult to injury. Are you happy, are you happy now?
Can I tip the scale? Well maybe I’m just bound to fail
Adding insult to injury. Are you happy, are you happy now?

Adamant, adamant. Tunnel vision view
Backed up in a corner; Now I’m stuck because I should know better
Take the wrap, suck it up because I should know better

Sad to say, couldn’t make the connection
A lot of build up, but it only took a second to bring this whole thing down.
Backed up in a corner now I’m stuck

Adamant, adamant. Tunnel vision view
Backed up in a corner, now I’m stuck because I should know better
Take the wrap, suck it up because I should know better

6. I Depend, I Control

We repeat it.

Repeat. Our habits form
I don’t know if you can see, I’ll shed a bit of honesty
This feeling, never had before. Repeating and the habits form
Such...an ominous mystery, Crave...that certain serenity
We repeat it

Sober even, patterns form. Giving less, expecting more.
Something you can’t recreate. Something I cannot debate.
Such...an ominous mystery. Crave...that certain serenity

I depend, I depend, I control!

7. Somewhere In This Miserable…

Trade back highs and lows within the blink of an eye
Have you ever been burnt so bad? You swore this would be the last.
I never could’ve escaped it I didn’t wanna be seen.
How did it all happen so fast? The only choice left for me…outlast,

Rather be here now more than ever, feed the doubt until you figure how to lock it in.
There’ll always be the thrill of it.
Messed up, pissed off, build on it ’Cause maybe it looks better with a stain on it.
Until you figure how to lock it in There’ll always be the thrill of it

I figure if it’s possible. We’ll find it in this miserable…
I figure if it’s possible. We’ll find it in this miserable…it’s somewhere in this miserable…

Face the source
When to hold, when to fold, I best not forget.

8. Beyond

Beyond our love is the truth and it comes between us (YEAH!)
Beyond our love is the proof and it passes through us (YEAH!)
Until the wool has been pulled from our eyes, I can’t acknowledge if I keep denying
Until the moment when we realize, process all this, going in blind.
All day long forcing me to come to terms with reality.
All along forcing me to find my peace with insanity.

(Whoh-Oh-Oh...Whoh-Oh-Oh)

Life’s got a funny way of showing the hardest part is knowing when to give up, when to go.
Life’s got a funny way of showing, now you have to choose between your heart and what you know.
Uncertain, unsettled, I was too involved, I was too close

9. Unconditional

Haven’t been here before, seeing is believing You’re up, not the type to settle grieving.
And while we’re bracing for it, you’re the same, handling, and your life is showing.
Are you afraid anymore? How are you preparing for…?
Check back in a month, over-think it too much. We’re waiting, you’re facing, and bracing for what?
Are you afraid anymore? The light that surrounds you, your faith reinforced

Expect more, and brace for…

Unconditional source of sole sincerity and you withstand that force with your own clarity
I’ve missed out before, we’ll miss out again But the sentiment stays Your family remains
No time is enough, reality strikes and it’s never enough
Are you afraid anymore? The light that surrounds you, your faith reinforced

Expect more, and brace for…

There is always that sentiment, the unconditional we’re fighting for
There is always that sentiment, the unconditional we’re living for
When time is what we need it seems we never get enough
And this time it’s what you need, it seems like things are looking up

10. Didn't Even Mind

I felt the pressure building up pushing from every side
You didn’t even mind
It took the rest of me to stop and say no more
You didn’t even mind

Am I just reading it all wrong? Too many voices overtaking and I’m misplacing
Wasting this precious time, avoiding signs
I’m in too deep to quit and there’s just too many good reasons that keep me sucked in
Though barely scraping by, you didn’t flinch at all
I spent the rest of my earnings on just feeling numb
I never meant to keep putting this on you
It’s all wrong, It’s alright

When it’s all gone bad and I’ve probably lost it
The world could die, but you’d survive

How many faced with, how many torn
I see how much I wasted while you never turned

11. Full Swing

[feat. Scott Wade]

Built to land hard: that’s exactly where we left it
Slippery down-slide, and you could never fake it
I apologize, so excuse me
Slow we pacify, come in full swing

Silence - Maybe it’ll seem like it’s gone
Vacant - Knowing what you want when you can’t
Balance - I could never stress it enough: Of all the right choices, I start with the wrong ones

Still falling, reckless and on again
Rumor mills got me locked in, killing time, just hope it doesn’t kill me

What is free? What is free when you won’t stop watching me?
Everything I do is adding up • Now I’m taking the warning
Everywhere I go…I can’t avoid it, but I can control it
Everything I do…I can’t avoid it
Everywhere I go… I can’t avoid it, but I can control it

12. Sink In

Shout out in the morning, calling out in repeat
Medicine’s motivation, couldn’t keep me asleep
Got a good imagination, always twisting the gears
Battle miscommunication, answer-less, it appears I've

And I’ve got nowhere else, and I drift away
Left just in time to get peace of mind, now I divide
Reasons heavy in rotation, stories starting to bleed
I can see your dedication, and it matters to me
But I feel like I’ve gotta retain, but there’s a little bit of something in the way

I don’t wanna sink in
I’ve been led astray, I retaliate
I don’t wanna sink in
I’ve been led astray, I retaliate

Steady one foot in, held the other back
With the other back I couldn’t hit that stride, now I divide
There’s a point, I saw it breaking That I needed to hear
A formidable reaction, ’cause it matters to me
Now I feel like I’ve gotta retain, but there’s a little bit of something in the way

I don’t wanna sink in
I’ve been led astray, I retaliate
I don’t wanna sink in
I’ve been led astray, I retaliate
Because I don’t wanna sink in
So I don’t let it sink in

Got nowhere else—I’ve been led astray
I’ve got nothing else—I retaliate

I’m letting it in, I’m ready if you are
