1. Pittsburgh
I've been searching for an exit, but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment wishing I was dead.
For a few minutes get me away from here,
For a few minutes wipe away my tears.
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep;
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs,
And I can't take another step,
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire [under] my skin
And I'm drowning from within -
I can't take another breath,
Please tell me I am not undone.
I've been searching for an exit but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment wishing this would end.
I can't take another step, I cannot live inside my mind,
I can't face another day, I am so fucking tired.
For I am lost right now as the ocean deep,
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
Yeah I am lost right now as the ocean deep,
I am low my friend and how my heart does sink.
It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs
And I can't take another step --
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire [under] my skin
And I'm drowning from within.
I can't take another breath --
Please tell me I am not undone.
I've been searching for an exit but I'm lost inside my head;
Where I spend every waking moment, wishing I was dead.
I'll take another step for you --
I'll shed my tears until I drown, or until I am underground.
I'll take another breath for you...
Will you still be there when I'm home, out from the great unknown?
It's like there's cancer in my blood,
It's like there's water in my lungs,
And I can't take another step --
Please tell me I am not undone.
It's like there's fire [under] my skin
And I'm drowning from within.
I can't take another breath --
Please tell me I am not undone.
2. Lost & Fading
So young, heartbroken, daydreaming, lost focus.
Weaker than you've ever been,
Counting on a fading dream.
The ocean gleaming emerald green,
The saddest thing you've ever seen.
Your feet stuck in the sinking sand,
Your mind is reeling,shaky hands.
Tears are streaming, sorrow calls,
With no one there to break your fall.
I'm lost and fading, life ain't great.
My heart is breaking and life won't wait.
There's no one there, no one around,
There's not a soul and not a sound.
So fucking young, heartbroken, daydreaming, lost focus.
A weary soul, no truth to find,
They were so lost where was your goodbye?
Your feet stuck in the sinking sand,
Your mind is reeling, shaky hands.
Tears are streaming, sorrow calls,
With no one there to break your fall.
I'm lost and fading, life ain't great.
My heart is breaking and life won't wait.
There's no one there, no one around,
There's not a soul and not a sound.
You've searched your soul for far too long,
Your friend was lost, you carry on.
You bear the burden of sorrow's past,
But you were built, you were built to fucking last.
You were built to last.
I'm fading fast, out in the cold unknown,
All sorrow here, so far from home.
So far from home.
I'm lost and fading, life ain't great.
My heart is breaking and life won't wait.
There's no one there, no one around,
There's not a soul and not a sound.
No one around and not a sound.
3. Don't Lean On Me
Let the ocean take me!
You gotta know, kid, that it ain't easy
To take on all of your grieving. Yeah, you've gotta believe me.
Oh!
Well don't lean on me, 'cause I am falling, please don't fall with me.
I really need you here, yeah I need you so don't leave.
And don't count on me, 'cause I am drowning, please don't drown with me.
Just hold me in your heart, and let the ocean take me.
And you think I don't read every message that you send.
You think I turn a blind eye, you think I'm just like them.
It breaks my heart.
All these stories brings me to tears, all this grief.
And I feel so fucking helpless when I can't be your relief.
Oh!
Well don't lean on me, 'cause I am falling, please don't fall with me.
I really need you here, yeah I need you so don't leave.
And don't count on me, 'cause I am drowning, please don't drown with me.
Just hold me in your heart, and let the ocean take me.
There is hope in my eyes, there is hope in these words.
And there are far too many reasons for you to stay here on this earth.
Stay with me.
Well don't lean on me, 'cause I am falling, please don't fall with me.
I really need you here, yeah I need you so don't leave.
And don't count on me, 'cause I am drowning, please don't drown with me.
Just hold me in your heart, and let the ocean take me.
4. The Weigh Down
Weighed down
Weighed down on the way down
I’ve lived behind a mask so long so few know who I am
They know all the sides of me
That hide behind your [?]
Though my hands are made of stone
And I break everything I say
They save me from myself and they stand by me
Weighed down on the way down
I need someone to take my hand
It feels like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the come downs
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down, weighed down
I’ll fight for change, I’ll fight for you
For everything that we’ve been through
I'll take your hand, I'll carry on
I've been weighed down for far too long
Though my hands are made of stone
And I break everything I say
They save me from myself and stand by me
Weighed down on the way down
I need someone to take my hand
It feels like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the come downs
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down, weighed down
I won't be weighed down
There's too much resting on this
Never be weighed down
I'll fucking stand here instead
Weighed down on the way down
I need someone to take my hand
It feels like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the come downs
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down on the way down
I need someone to take my hand
I feel like I can't breathe
And I might drown on the way down
I'm sick of all the come downs
Don't tell me that there's nothing wrong
I'm weighed down, weighed down
5. Never Alone
We struggle to our feet
We all yearn to be free
We fight and we're weak
We all come out and greive
This goddamn life is our disease
But we can't always fucking win
We can always turn the tide
We can all stand up and sing 'never alone'
We fight together, not alone
No matter where our bodies roam
This place is now what we call home
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Listen, always...
We'll be drowning in our grave
Are we can't stand for ourself
We have to stay afloat
(We struggle to breathe)
With the word that we try to believe
When I lost my home and find my way home
We can always turn the tide
And we get lost and not be blind, never alone
We fight together, not alone
No matter where I might go
(This place is not away from home)
We are never, ever alone
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
We are not lost here together
We are not lost anymore
We'll turn the tide, we'll calm the storm
We are ready for war [x3]
We are not lost here together
We are not lost anymore
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
Never alone, never apart
We found each other in the dark
Shed our tears and fight our fears
We are one, the lonely hearts
(Hello? Are you there? With me? I'm just trying to get in touch man. I've been so fucking, so fucking down lately. Like, I don't know what's happening. I'm just so tired all of time. Trying to sleep. I just, I just lay there quiet. Can't speak cause everyone around me is passed out. My fucking mind's raging. Oh, hello? I don't even know why I called. I think it, I think it might be time for me to leave. Call it quits. I'm sick of this. It's the same fucking day, every day. I think I breathe, I can't be sure though. It's all the same now. Drink, drink, drink again. I'm sorry man. I think it, you don't want to heat this. I'm a mess. I'm sorry man. I just don't know who to turn to. No one really hears me, you know? I speak, at least I think I speak, but no one hears me. I'm stepping out. Hello? Hello? I shouldn't have called. (Message deleted.))
6. Death's Hand
I held death's hand this evening
Can't keep my heart from beating
Can't keep my throat from screaming
There has to be another way for me to keep on living
I held death's hand this evening
Close my eyes now I'm grieving
Promise I won't leave here
Don't let me die I'm fucking screaming
Cause I've got more life left to live (got some promises to keep)
To all the hearts that carried me (up from the ocean deep)
I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons
For every selfish feeling (I held deaths hand this evening)
Now my lungs are failing
And my heart is fading
My life is taking me
So far away I'm dreaming
For every selfish reason
I tip the bottle drowning
I pour my heart out
Just to stop you from leaving
I held death's hand this evening
Closed my eyes now I'm grieving
Promise I won't leave here
Don't let me die I'm fucking screaming
Cause I've got more life left to live (got some promises to keep)
To all the hearts that carry me (up from the ocean deep)
I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons
For every selfish feeling (I held death's hand this evening)
You're the ones that kept me going
I owe you this much
You gave me the strength to say
Hey Death Get Fucked
Now my lungs are failing
And my heart is fading
My life is taking me
So far away I'm dreaming
Now my lungs are failing
And my heart is fading
My life is taking me
7. FML
There are parts of me,
That have been lost at sea,
I feel a constant pain, into eternity.
Walk with my head down low,
Into calamity,
With arms out stretched,
Will someone, someone, someone save me?
I am a sinking ship,
I am the anchor's deep,
Sent to the ocean floor,
In an eternal sleep.
My heart is heavy, stone.
My body, brittle bones.
My mind, an endless storm,
Out in the cold unknown.
'Cause I've got to find my light again,
My heart is beating fast,
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on,
It never seems to end.
I ain't a hollow shell no more,
I'm at the ocean floor, I'm at the ocean floor.
My heart's a heavy hitter now
Oh.
My lungs are screaming out,
My heart's a heavy hitter now
I am a sinking ship,
I am the anchor's deep,
Sent to the ocean floor,
In an eternal sleep.
My heart is heavy, stone.
My body, brittle bones.
My mind, an endless storm.
Out in the cold unknown.
'Cause I've got to find my light again,
My heart is beating fast,
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on,
It never seems to end.
And once again you get back,
And you rescued me,
And I promised you that,
I promised you that I'd melt. [2x]
My heart's a heavy hitter now
Oh.
Life is a failing questioning,
And this is thanks to you my friend.
'Cause I've got to find my light again,
My heart is beating fast,
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on,
It never seems to end.
'Cause I've got to find my light again,
My heart is beating fast,
When will this ever end?
Can I find my way back home again?
This road I travel on,
It never seems to end.
8. My Father's Son
I am my father's son
I am my father's mistakes
I'm easily undone
And I'm no stranger to rage
I am no stranger to rage
I am no stranger to rage
I felt the power of the bottles.
Killed myself just to escape
I am my father's son
I am my father's mistakes
And I'm ashamed of myself
I just want out of this place
This fucking hell I've created
I can't seem to escape
I have to learn from myself
The fastest way to my death
So I could follow his footsteps
To my hospital bed
All my life I have been trying to understand myself
It seems like my own reflection is just somebody else
It's taken years to know my father courses through my veins
And though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same
I am no stranger to rage
I am my father's son
I make my father's mistakes
I've been through shadows alone
And found my home on the streets
I've felt the cold glare of strangers,
As they passed over me.
I never figured I'd turn out to be such a disgrace,
But I'm my father's son,
The sum of all his mistakes.
I have to learn from myself
The fastest way to my death
So I could follow his footsteps
To my hospital bed
All my life I have been trying to understand myself
It seems like my own reflection is just somebody else
It's taken years to know my father courses through my veins
And though I never knew him, it turns out we're the same
I am no stranger to rage
I never knew him
It turns out we're the same
I am my father's son [3x]
I made my father's mistakes
I am my father's son [4x]
9. Forest Fire
I'm standing by the riverside.
Dreaming hope come save me now.
I'm feeling like I can't escape.
I'm screaming, love come pull me out.
All this darkness inside me.
Well I'm the creator of this loneliness I feel...
I'm the creator!
The earth feeds inside of me.
And there's a forest set to light so this passion can burn!
Burn like a forest fire.
It burns! Burns like a forest fire.
I'll stand a winter's storm like wolves
When those storms could use the skies!
We're still breathing and we're the lucky ones.
The weeping willows on the banks where the rabbits used to run.
So still sway with the breeze
But don't fall down to your knees
I'm standing by the riverside
And I'm dreaming, hope come save me now.
I'm feeling like I can't escape
And I'm screaming, love come pull me out.
Whoa oh oh!
We've lived in these shadows now for far too fucking long!
Pull the wool from your eyes.
Tear the darkness away.
We won't insist on your throats
For the rest of our days.
We're still breathing and we're the lucky ones.
The weeping willows on the banks where the rabbits used to run.
So still sway with the breeze
But don't fall down to your knees.
I'm standing by the riverside
And I'm dreaming hope come save me now.
I'm feeling like I can't escape
And I'm screaming love come pull me out
Whoa oh oh!
All this darkness inside me.
Well I'm the creator of this loneliness I feel.
I'm the creator!
The earth feeds inside of me.
And there's a forest set to light so this passion can burn.
Burn like a forest fire!
It burns! Burns like a forest fire!
10. Give It All
Oh!
Just take it all
My heart, my bones
My every word from out my lungs
My every breath and every thought
Take every word I've ever sung
Although I'm glad to help you out
And get your feet back on the ground
Please understand I'm just a man
You understand I'm just a man
And I feel helpless when I stumble
And my anxiety escapes
I used to hope and I'm afraid
That once again I've lost my place
I give it all and when I fall
I get up and give some more
Until there's nothing left of me
Just some bones stacked on the floor
But every song is a two way street
I give to you, you give to me
And as long as that remains
I will still haul my heavy feet
Because you're all worth every word
And you're all here in my heart
And I know we can all sing together
To avoid falling apart
I give it all and when I fall
I get up and give some more
Until there's nothing left of me
Just some bones stacked on the floor
I give it all and when I fall
I get up and give some more
Until there's nothing left of me
Just some bones stacked on the floor
At the end of everything
This is for you, this is for me
Your fight to overcome defeat
Has set the skies alight for me
I give it all and when I fall
I get up and give some more
Until there's nothing left of me
Just some bones stacked on the floor
(I give it all and when I fall
I get up and give some more
Until there's nothing left of me
Just some bones stacked on the floor)
(I give it all and when I fall
I get up and give some more
Until there's nothing left of me
Just some bones stacked on the floor)
(I give it all and when I fall
I get up and give some more
Until there's nothing left of me)
11. Skeletons
This is all I've ever known
I'm trouble; can't be on my own
Rock bottom, every day
Dreamed to drown throw my life away
Grow into comatose
Serenity with no memories to own
And the games within my mind
You're at peace, but all alone, but all alone
Was there a sign I didn't read?
Or was I lying to myself?
Holding fast to every skeleton I've got there on the shelf
I just tried to make them drown
Drown every skeleton around
It's just another bottle down
It's just another bottle down
I tried my hardest to be free
But I was trapped by my anxiety
Now back into the fold
Now back into the fight
Chasing demons from their hideouts
Cast the mountains to the light
Don't throw my body to the landfill
Don't throw my body to the sea
Cause I'm not ready yet
I won't be just a fucking memory
Was there a sign I didn't read?
Or was I lying to myself?
Holding fast to every skeleton I've got there on the shelf
I just tried to make them drown
Drown every skeleton around
It's just another bottle down
It's just another bottle down
If I smash all of the bottles that built the shackles on my mind
Could I let go of all the pain eating me from the inside?
Death will never bring me down!
When I die I will die fighting!
Death will never bring me down!
When I die I will die fighting!
Death will never bring me down!
When I die I will die fighting!
Was there a sign I didn't read?
Or was I lying to myself?
Holding fast to every skeleton I've got there on the shelf
I just tried to make them drown
Drown every skeleton around
It's just another bottle down
It's just another bottle down
12. Farewell
I said farewell to the sunlight,
Said farewell to the sea,
And farewell to my loved ones,
There's no hope left for me!
Farewell to my sorrow,
And farewell memories,
Misery for company,
There's no hope left for me!
I was searching for religion,
Couldn't find my place,
But there was nothing there but empty faith
How can you find your way through ignorance and tolerance and hate?
Farewell "God" you won't find me,
I've lost my faith but I am free,
So search your heart and you will see there's no hope in misery.
I said farewell to the sunlight,
Said farewell to the sea,
And farewell to my loved ones,
There's no hope left for me!
Farewell to my sorrow,
And farewell memories,
Misery for company,
There's no hope left for me!
No hope!
No hope!
No hope left for me!
No gods!
No gods!
No gods left for me!
No hope!
No hope!
No hope left for me!
Farewell "God" you won't find me,
I've lost my faith but I am free,
So search your heart and you will see there's no hope in misery.
I said farewell to the sunlight,
Said farewell to the sea,
And farewell to my loved ones,
There's no hope left for me!
Farewell to my sorrow,
And farewell memories,
Misery for company,
There's no hope left for me!
Farewell "God" you won't find me,
Farewell "God" you won't find me,
Farewell "God" you won't find me,
Farewell "God" you won't find me...
