What've we become? To forfeit all this time I think I'll give it up and take back what is mine I wrote another chapter Another story in my book Not about life but what comes after It's exactly how it looks I think I'll give it up I think I'll give it up These bitter things inside of me, They cut me up inside I'm bleeding out internally I forgot to feel alive Let it fall by the wayside Your bookend on a shelf A bit of breathing to help you pass the time I guess you gave up on yourself I guess you're giving up I guess you're giving up A shiver down my spine Ignore my calls I've got nowhere to roam

Al 02:47
Long Drive I lay awake passenger's side I Count the stars to pass the time Friday Night Four A.M. with the Four Arm Guys I Found the time to feel alive Pack my shit Let's get away I don't wanna know where Grab your bags ,I wanna go there Grab your bags, we're going nowhere Just drive I'll never know home unless I gain some perspective Let's go While we're young and fucked up There's no better time than now Fade out And fall apart when no one sees it When the music's loud I'm fine Let it go I feel at ease on foreign couches Vivid dreams help me get by Just last night... A crowded dim-lit living room Your brothers standing next to you Our worn out voices are living proof They're beat to shit but they speak the truth You feel it deep down inside of you You feel it deep down inside of you You feel it deep down inside of you You feel it deep down and I do, too I wanna see the world for what it really is And I know no one else can make that choice for me The choice to leave So I'm packing up and setting out to sea Just drive I'll never know home unless I gain some perspective Let's go While we're young and fucked up There's no better time than now Let's go While we're young and fucked up There's no better time than now No better time than now

Dead At 22 03:08
Locked in these cages And glued to the floor Biting at cut up hands that don't feed us anymore Nothing to offer My patience is swept Wiped clean entirely I'm left to repay this debt When these words are spoken Only then can you see When this life is over Only then will we be free Counting my paces, retracing my steps Worried all night and it scares me to death The loss of life is a song that haunts Confused as to why I hum it all night long When these words are spoken Only then can you see When this life is over Only then will we be free Hail Mary, Hello how are you? I greet you with love and I'm sorry to bother you it's just that Your son, well he... ...has left me And if I'm being honest it's damn near lonely My hour of death has come, its arms open wide Hallelujah, O Mother of mercy You took long enough, I'm tired of waiting In all the words that I said I have one last request May I rest in peace, Amen When these words are spoken Only then can you see When this life is over Only then will we be free

Humming curses at the stars Laying on the hood of my car Such a crazy melody When you're laying next to me It's late it's nearly three A.M. Awake, ungraced by sleep's presence A lifetime's not near long enough Not until I'm through With you My hands, they tremble When you're around You can't leave Until I'm through with you Our lives are such a pretty scar Let me trace your pretty scars Hold me 'til I'm black and blue I remember laying under you When we were humming curses at the stars Laying on the hood of your car A lifetime's not near time enough Not until I'm through With you My hands, they tremble When you're around You can't leave Until I'm through with you And we were humming curses at the stars Laying on the hood of my car Humming curses at the stars Laying on the hood of your car I felt you breathing into me We fade into eternity
