JAMIE'S ELSEWHERE LYRICS

1. Empty Eyes

[feat. Garret Rapp]

I refuse to to lie awake in this bed
While the world holds it's gravity over my head
You call this ignorant
I call your ignorance
I will never be one with the simple minded
We see through the weak
And we'll never be blinded
You're blowing smoke from your mouth
Actions speak louder then the words you've made out
And nothing worthy comes easy
But you can follow I'd rather be leading

Well we've been losing all the sleep in the night
We're painting pictures of our future it's in our minds
They sleep when we dream but
We strive to open up their empty eyes
No we won't ever be the ones who oblige
Their simple minds are even starting to realize
That their dreams are in reach
And we've tried to open up their empty eyes

And we tried to open their empty eyes
Blind sided by their simple minds

I've been placed in a position many fear
A voice traveled up my spine
As he whispered in my ear
And he said
Carry my voice and I will carry you
And I'll spread your every word
Just to cover up their wounds
Carry my voice and I will carry you
Carry my voice and I will carry you
Carry you

Well we've been losing all the sleep in the night
We're painting pictures of our future it's in our minds
They sleep when we dream but
We strive to open up their empty eyes
No we won't ever be the ones who oblige
Their simple minds are even starting to realize
That their dreams are in reach
And we've tried to open up their empty eyes

Once you stop dreaming you might as well be dead
I found a purpose in life with the air in my chest
When you stop dreaming you might as well be dead
So find your purpose in life
Every day I feel my ambition amplifying
And every day I see my dreams come true
Every day I feel my ambition amplifying
So make a promise to yourself you've got nothing to lose

Well we've been losing all the sleep in the night
We're painting pictures of our future it's in our minds
They sleep when we dream but
We strive to open up their empty eyes
No we won't ever be the ones who oblige
Their simple minds are even starting to realize
That their dreams are in reach
And we've tried to open up their empty eyes
No we won't ever be the ones who oblige
Their simple minds are even starting to realize
That their dreams are in reach
And we've tried to open up their empty eyes

And we tried to open up their empty eyes

2. Closure

Till death do us part
Well death parted us
And when you inflame every word that hurt
I will sit and watch you burn

All I ever wanted was to clear your state of mind
All I ever needed was to find the closure that you hide
Just a little bit of closure I’ll be fine
But you won't give me any so
So here's a piece of mine!

It’s three a.m.
I’m fighting the silence
Reality is quiet
But my mind stays awake
Awake in this nightmare
No end to beginnings
I’ve failed to complete
I’ve failed to escape
Stare into the eyes of the beast
As he sets fire to lake
Framed
Your expression
Your expression as he opens up the gates
Framed
Your expression

All I ever wanted was to clear your state of mind
All I ever needed was to find the closure that you hide
Just a little bit of closure I’ll be fine
But you won't give me any so
So here's a piece of mine!

He's standing in the doorway
While tears run down his cheek
My pain is never ending
I’ve lost a part of me
He says dad please don't leave me
Son I will never leave
I’ll always be your father
He'll never take my place

Half a decade of wasted age

All I ever wanted was to clear your state of mind
All I ever needed was to find the closure that you hide
Just a little bit of closure I’ll be fine
But you won't give me any so
So here's a piece of mine
So here's a piece of mine
So here's a piece of mine
Oh oo oh oo uh uh oh
You took my heart but not my mind
Just a little bit of closure I’ll be fine
But you won't give me any so
So here's a piece of mine

So here's a piece of mine

But you won't give me closure so
So here's a piece of mine

3. The Illusionist

[feat. Tyler Carter of Issues]

Softly spoken,
But she had her way with words
Sewing up my conscience to cover up her wounds, oh
Materialistic, black dress and Tori shoes
Wrapped up in accessories to conceal her every move
I didn't see this coming

So here we are,
You caught me off guard
And now I'm stuck in love
With everything you are
When you went off the deep end I buried my head
I knew that I was stuck in love
With everything you're not, I hope you know

I hope you know
I hope you know
I hope you know

I should have never signed up to play
But it felt so right until it turned into a game, yeah
And that black dress (black dress) faded to grey
And the smoothest skin (smoothest skin) withered away
I should have seen this coming

So here we are,
You caught me off guard
And now I'm stuck in love
With everything you are
When you went off the deep end I buried my head
I knew that I was stuck in love
With everything you're not, I hope you know

I hope you know
You caught me off guard, I hope you know

Don't hate the player you created this game
Karma's a bitch that the whole world hates

You caught me off guard so here we are

So here we are,
You caught me off guard
And now I'm stuck in love
With everything you are
When you went off the deep end I buried my head
I knew that I was stuck in love
With everything you're not, I hope you know

So here we are,
You caught me off guard
And now I'm stuck in love
(now I'm with my heart upon your sleeve)
With everything you are
When you went off the deep end I buried my head
I knew that I was stuck in love
With everything you're not, I hope you know

I've got you nervous but you know you deserve this
I've got you nervous but you know you deserve this, baby
I've got you nervous but you know you deserve this

4. Rebel Revive

When the rain burst into tears
You were swept away
When the light approached the shore
It pulled you into me
If not for you I wouldn't be
Wouldn't be myself again
Cause you're the part of me who saved me
In the end

I'm searching for a way that I
Can save a place inside my heart
Cause I'm stuck inside my mind
And as the world goes down in burning flames
I came to realize
You're the only one I'd carry out alive

I'll carry you out alive

You cured the dark
You spread the light overhead
So I'll be waiting at the skyline as the past starts to set
He'll always try to break us down
Remember there is a heaven if we can get through this hell

I'm searching for a way that I
Can save a place inside my heart
Cause I'm stuck inside my mind
And as the world goes down in burning flames
I came to realize
You're the only one I'd carry out alive

I'll be here to guide you
When you're battling within
The walls did not define you
When they started caving in
You see
I've excused what's history
To help you understand
There is a reason you came into my life
I was running past
You were keeping me alive
You see
We all have history
But it's our future that defines

'm searching for a way that I
Can save a place inside my heart
Cause I'm stuck inside my mind
And as the world goes down in burning flames
I came to realize
You're the only one I'd carry out alive
I'm searching for a way that I
Can save a place inside my heart
Cause I'm stuck inside my mind
And as the world goes down in burning flames
I came to realize
You're the only one I'd carry out alive

5. The Cover Up

Always so fixed on creations
But you're not my creator
You pick apart the flaws you find in me
But your broken so focus on
Picking up the pieces of your
State of mind
You were never there when I was
By your side
Well unlike you
The simple things in life
Are what I need to get by

No
No I can't change the past
Unveil the cover up inside of me
That I've locked away
Just to shut you out
But at least I held my breath
For long enough to find the person
Standing in front of me
Watching as I drown

Do you expect me
To believe oh ooo
In the depths of
Of your perception

I've got some news for you and your point of view oh
I'm watching I'm waiting for the strength to get me through
You put me through this hell and I'm back
I'm back to tell you
That I'm just calling it quits
Never been this sure in my life

No
No I can't change the past
Unveil the cover up inside of me
That I've locked away
Just to shut you out
But at least I held my breath
For long enough to find the person
Standing in front of me
Watching as I drown

When the water froze
I built a home around my heart
Just to keep you warm
But I traded in for another one
Sent back to a broken home

No
No I can't change the past
Unveil the cover up inside of me
That I locked away
Just to shut you out
But at least I held my breath
For long enough to find the person
Standing in front of me
Watching as I drown
Watching as I drown
Watching as I drown
Right in front of me
Watching as I drown
But at least I held my breath
For long enough to find the person
Standing in front of me
Just to watch me drown

6. In Depth Perception

[feat. Dev]

I've become
An error to the whom
A constant burden
The idealist
You never understand
And all I ever wanted was
You to lock me in your arms
So he couldn't lock his hands around my life
Is this tough love

We are the future
We are the past
And we are the present
So hear us out

Since I can remember
I was always one to blame
For the loss of his honor
He held my mothers name in vein
I will always remember
(but you can't remember
Cause you're just a boy
Placing blame upon himself)
Your misconception

We are the future
We are the past
And we are the present
So hear us out

We!
We are the past
The present
The future
So hear us out

Can you hear me now!

7. Back Stabber

How could you call yourself a friend
You turned your back in the end
I held you right above my shoulders
Through the thick and the thin
You're so undead to me
You're dead to me

Backstabber
Backstabber

The worst of the enemy
Is what they pretend to be
Pathetic human beings
Just another wasted space in the human race
Just another wasted space in the human race

Backstabber ohhh
I can't believe
I can't believe you're running away
Running away from me
And I always had your back
So tell me why would you attack me this way
Backstabber so two faced
Repulsive in every way
You're so undead to me
You're dead to me

What a surprise
That you were no surprise at all
Too many seasons
You were waiting for me to fall
What makes you feel alive
Spit drips from lips
As I enter my demise

Backstabber
Backstabber

The worst of the enemy
Is what they pretend to be
Pathetic human beings

Backstabber

Backstabber ohhh
I can't believe
I can't believe you're running away
Running away from me
And I always had your back
So tell me why would you attack me this way
Backstabber
So two faced
Repulsive in every way
You're so undead to me
You're dead to me

Backstabber
Backstabber

The worst of the enemy
Is what they pretend to be
Pathetic human beings
Just another wasted space in the human race
Just another wasted space in the human race

8. Capital Vices

[feat. Phil Druyor & Nick Samson]

I’ve had a problem or two (I’ve had a problem or two)
With the things that I know that I’d ought to not do (ought a not do)
I said I’d just have a few (just have a few an I’m done)
And I’m fucked up again but I guess it's nothing new
Is it surprising to you
Knowing everything about all the substance I abuse
And if you didn't
(If you didn't know) whoa now you know (now you know) now you know
Whoaohohohohohoooooooh (is it surprising to you) it's so surprising to you
Whoa (whoa) whoa (whoa)
Whoaohohohohohoooooooh

Well I’ve got this caffeine stacked on top off an amphetamine
And their both working out making sure that my heart stops beating and i know
This is clearly not the better me and I truly see
That this has gotten the best of me now
And I know that it's got to be something
I can feel it pulling me down to the ground
So I sew the edge of this glass back to my mouth

Twist it up fold me down
Don't want to be here when tomorrow rolls around
Oh I'm alive but I don't want to be
Can't get away from things my body tells me I need
Is it surprising to you
Knowing everything about all the substance I abuse (substance I abuse)
And if you didn't (if you didn't know) whoa oh now you know now you know

Well I’ve got this caffeine stacked on top off an amphetamine
And their both working out making sure that my heart stops beating and I know
This is clearly not the better me and I truly see
That this has gotten the best of me now
And I know that it's got to be something
I can feel it pulling me down to the ground
So I sew the edge of this glass back to my mouth

Bury me
I'm now the promise that I no longer wanted to be
Every last hit down to the bottom of bag please just let me be
My eyes see better my conscience is to fucked up to see
In case you didn't now you know

Well I’ve got this caffeine stacked on top off an amphetamine
And their both working out making sure that my heart stops beating and I know
This is clearly not the better me and I truly see
That this has gotten the best of me now
And I know that it's got to be something
I can feel it pulling me down to the ground
So I sew the edge of this glass back to my mouth

9. Sick Fiction

Can we rewind
Play the past
And go back to the times
We had a positive message to spread
But times have changed
Everyone's contending for the bigger name
Your name is nothing (nothing)
Without the ones who follow you
Your fame starts crumbling (crumbling)
Without the support of devoted youth
FAME!
FAME!
You're obsessed
You're a mess
It's a shame
You're just another waste of a name

I'm just so sick of it all
Sick of the fiction in their words
I used to live by the messages
Hidden in the songs I heard
But I swear
I'll never for a second abandon my honesty
Won't act out a movie to be part of the music scene
If it's one thing that I know
It's that we're bringing the integrity home

I won't keep silent anymore
If you don't speak from the heart
Then these are my words
Pack your shit and leave
Cause we don't need another accident on the scene

Shhhhhhh
I've got something to say
Shut up
I've got something to say
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shut up
I've got something to say
You're no better than the rest
So put your ego away
Fuck You!
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shut up
I've got something to say
Something to say to you
Whatever happened to originality

I'm just so sick of it all
Sick of the fiction in their words
I used to live by the messages
Hidden in the songs I heard
But I swear
I'll never for a second abandon my honesty
Won't act out a movie to be part of the music scene
If it's one thing that I know
It's that we're bringing the integrity home

We lost ourselves
When we crashed
I packed my things
I'd play my part
but I don't act
Oh Oh Oh
Yeah
So I had a taste
And I couldn't leave
Until we brought
Some meaning to this music scene
Oh Oh Oh
Yeah

Let's Go

We lost ourselves
When we crashed
I packed my things
I'd play my part
But I don't act
Oh Oh Oh
Yeah
So I had a taste
And I couldn't leave
Until we brought
Some meaning to this music scene
Oh Oh Oh
Yeah

I'm just so sick of it all
Sick of the fiction in their words
I used to live by the messages
Hidden in the songs I heard
But I swear
I'll never for a second abandon my honesty
Won't act out a movie to be part of the music scene
If it's one thing that I know
It's that we're bringing the integrity home

10. Sleepless Nights

The only home I know
Is on the open road
I sacrificed everything
This is the life I chose
Sometimes we lose sight inside
What really matters most

Melody is therapy
To get through the nights
You think it's easy to leave my blood
You think it's easy to hear him cry

I need to find my way
Find my way back home
Oh I beg and I plead
You'll understand someday
Why father had to go
And I’ve been missing a part of myself

There's not a piece of you in me
Twenty four years never to be seen
I’ll never be like you
You're just a sad excuse
You're just another dead beat!

You're just another dead beat!

Melody is therapy
To get through the nights
You think it's easy to leave my blood
To leave my blood behind

I need to find my way
Find my way back home
Oh I beg and I plead
You'll understand someday
Why father had to go
And I’ve been missing a part of myself
And I’ve been missing you
I’m not dismissing you
You're the most important part of me
And I’m hoping one day you'll see
Why father had to go
I’ll find my way back home

I’ll find my way back home

Seven years now it’s my time
But where the fuck are you father of mine
Selfish
The road was my home
But my home holds my heart
The blood in my bones

I need to find my way
Find my way back home
Oh I beg and I plead
You'll understand someday
Why father had to go
And I’ve been missing a part of myself
And I’ve been missing you
I’m not dismissing you
You're the most important part of me
And I’m hoping one day you'll see
Why father had to go
I’ll find my way back home

Make sure to hold your loved ones close
Cause there's an end to every road!
