Habitats 03:46
I can't help but to think I might screw this up I've been down in a rut trying to pull myself up. It's now or never so I'll give this a shot I'll wait to come home and watch my ceiling alone. Your smiles keep turning these words into something that keeps me afloat. Escaping rivers that pull my thoughts under water I won't let this current keep dragging me under. Break away from the dull side of this awkward life of mine i'll race towards a lifestyle Better suited for our kind The ones who don't know when to go home or when to give up. Your smiles keep turning these words into something that keeps me afloat. Escaping rivers that pull my thoughts under water I won't let this current keep dragging me under. Keep dragging me under. I can't pretend that words don't consume the habitats I'm surrounded by. But then again words don't mean a thing and your actions won't ever satisfy. Lets run away for the day I don't want to turn back kid they'll break you down. Locked up beat down, torn battered and bruised but they won't stop us now. (I can't pretend that words don't consume the habitat I'm surrounded by)

Grown 03:05
My knuckles bleed like my integrity was something I had earned I stepped back broken but accomplished inside squeezing a lifetime of happiness into a single night like what was left to prove was destroyed on sight We left this building shattered to it's core, and I crave more because I got a taste of living but it consumed me. Hollowed out, I'm falling down and your face hides the ground. Underneath all the lines Severing truth between right and wrong lives the people we've come to know and love Reiterate the past pretend that it will last I've been relying on hollow words for too long. It's not over the night is now over, I'm tearing myself apart and I am loving it. I want to be absent minded enough to escape Every memory that puts me out of place. This wall seems harmless now These cars have lost all sound Will someone show me how to relocate what I've found. Drown my happiness in the James I can't tell if I will stay the same Down my sorrows in the James I'll stay, I'll stay. Underneath all the lines Severing truth between right and wrong lives the people we've come to know and love Reiterate the past pretend that it will last I've been relying on hollow words for too long. Stand strong. Just say that I never had anything to my name cause I haven't. Underneath all the lines Severing truth between right and wrong lives the people we've come to know and love Reiterate the past pretend that it will last I've been relying on hollow words for too long. And I'm not staying gone, This is where I've grown, This is my true home.

Boundary 03:32
Another night where taking shots could be the end of us, Tender lies that make my mind whisper a truthful love, And as my insides force their way out My head's churning for a breath, That you thought being next to me was more than just enough, When your lips dragged across chest did I escape your mind? Whimpers crawling through the night has me grasping for lines, To describe, the inconceivable way you end a life in my design, Promising you the night before that I will be just fine, The term of fear, is merely just a candy coated word When standing next to you, The fear of falling hits me hardest When I'm in bed laying down And is always softer when I hit the ground, And now I'm all of lines, all out of songs Telling you in how many ways you were wrong, Until the world splits in two I walk alone. The road that lies before us is showered in unexpected turns And although I run in circles I am yet to learn, It seems that chained directions leave a stain in your affection, When innocence comes running tell them guilty pictures burn. The term of fear, is merely just a candy coated word When standing next to you, The fear of falling hits me hardest When I'm in bed laying down And is always softer when I hit the ground, And now I'm all of lines, all out of songs Telling you in how many ways you were wrong, Until the world splits in two I walk alone. Until the world splits in two I walk alone, Until the world splits in two I walk alone, This is, My heart's boundary that kills you within me that cast feelings beneath and tells me I can't breath, And all I want is to stand on my own Send all regrets home And show you the meaning of all alone.

Steep Slope 03:15
Torturing myself these days leaves my emotions lost in a haze Like carving these words into the page Will help me obtain a higher demeanor of faith in this Is slipping the grip of the pen weakening I have help but I am on steep slope. This logic is superior to mine. I'll chase these state lines to find fare cries of a place unknown to me It's the one thing that makes me feel that I can set my mind free From the cage of my sobriety that throws me back to reality In this mess will keep my mind at ease. I'm breathing easier but deep down the nerves still coat my lungs and I've sprung to the first sign of light that reminds me of days when I was young These days drain, my chest pain But lack of luster always seems to spark my heart rate. Indifference leaves me sustained in the wake of your words. I'll chase these state lines to find fare cries of a place unknown to me It's the one thing that makes me feel that I can set my mind free From the cage of my sobriety that throws me back to reality In this mess will keep my mind at ease. I'll chase these state lines to find fare cries of a place unknown to me It's the one thing that makes me feel that I can set my mind free From the cage of my sobriety that throws me back to reality In this mess will keep my mind at ease.

I'm Gone 03:30
These early morning hours have been tearing at my eyes for a second of rest, is this really the place. The time to bring all of this up from it's grave and bid farewell to the secrets that you crave. I'm so sick and tired of always saying I'm sick and tired Can I go to bed now? Can I go to bed now? Dwell on everything I've done make sure to tell me how I'm wrong Interpret how this love is made but forget that all of it's gone Cause I'm gone. Spare me excuses I can't undergo anymore of this Seeing my reflection disheartens the life in it and my motives quit But it's all I have to show for it Tell me everything will be the same. Lie to me once to revive the pain. I keep stepping into lines and running out of time To get my life straight. Dwell on everything I've done make sure to tell me how I'm wrong Interpret how this love is made but forget that all of it's gone Cause I'm gone. Keep nails digging into my head it sets my teeth on edge but I won't beg. Keep nails digging into my head it sets my teeth on edge but I won't beg for you. I slam my fucking head against this wall does it make a sound, do I make a sound? I slam my fucking head against this wall does it make a sound, do I make a sound? Dwell on everything I've done make sure to tell me how I'm wrong Interpret how this love is made but forget that all of it's gone Cause I'm gone. Cause I'm gone.

Your Words 03:07
My thoughts are clearly outspoken pushing out more then I took in is this analogy broken cause I'm tearing eyes open to see. Respect is worthless. It just means the same as a kick to the face I'm still claiming my legs as they run in place. But my mind can't keep up with the pace. My shame only hangs at the foot of my bed it was dismembered when I choose the dreams I was fed. And you'll never need it. (You're never looking back again) Falling down through my front door that sheltered the heart in me from every inch of me now I can finally see. Outside embrace me with the bitter reminder that I wore out the strength in my finger tips for nothing. It's time to tell my future that my past is moving on and maybe this wind will calm down when it's gone but that leaves me with nothing to say but "so long" chasing leaves down the sidewalk alone. Your words have a way of annihilating me. (x4) (I'm sorry mom, it's colder then I could have imagined can you please bring my windbreaker out. I swear that I'm not lost, I left my light on but you went and turned it off.)
