Focus 03:15

When I was a kid I dreamed of flying rocket ships Of building castles in the sky Why would anyone leave that behind And I can’t help but picture How life would have turned out If I had kept my sense of wonder If I hadn’t squandered so much time I faded away but I’m regaining focus I’m breaking out of this daydream I haven’t been talking ‘Cause nothing needed to be said I’ve neglected thinking For there were no thoughts to be had It’s not a wasted day if only somethings sticks this time I faded away but I’m regaining focus I’ve been building up steam I can’t believe that the world kept turning I can’t believe there’s still no fade to black - You wouldn’t know ‘cause you failed to notice “You didn’t care”, the words didn’t sink in - I had the feeling these walls kept closing I sought and sought but I couldn’t find a crack - It’s just for show, so I have been telling myself I wasted time, but now I’m back on track - Months before turning sixteen I woke up from the worst night I ever had My brother’s shouts still ring so loud now The tone of his voice told me it was bad I started checking out there and then And I’m not sure if I ever got back I still get flashes left and right now Just chalk it up to panic attacks I can’t believe that the world keeps turning I can’t believe there’s still no fade to black You wouldn’t know ‘cause you failed to notice “You didn’t care”, the words didn’t sink in I have the feeling these walls keep closing I sought and sought but I couldn’t find a crack It’s just for show, so I’ve been telling myself I wasted time, but now I’m back on track

Lost At Sea 03:36
lyrics

It’s been a while since I really spent time with you or talked to you in a way that makes sense (to you) and grown ups can understand It’s been very hard to make myself clear and dear it’s hard to say what’s on my chest in a constructive yet understandable way ‘cuz I’m lost at sea with you And I can’t hold back my words Anymore and I hope you Won’t leave me when I pour my heart all over you I’m having trouble with mood swings though they’re not my own I’ve been thinking of running but I wouldn’t know where to go It’s like reading a book but the words are so far apart And we need to find ourselves in the spaces in between Like ebb and flow Like seasons change Like day turns night and memories fade We keep closing in Yet drift away We were rainbows, now we’ve turned grey

Broken 03:34
lyrics

Broken we’re both broken I wish I had something left up my sleeve Flailing unintentionally Failure to communicate got the best of me And If you’re one day hearing this Will you recognise my voice or is That even too much to ask from you? At least I’ll I know I’m not alone Never meant to throw the first stone Knocking on an open door Throwing stuff right out the window Waiting for you to notice me That might never happen & I’m in too deep I’ve been wailing about love and fear Time will never tell if you just wait and see And If you’re one day hearing this Will you recognise my voice or is That even too much to ask from you? Will you realise this song’s about Me loving you and your big mouth And that you’re scaring me away with all your words? At least I’ll I know I’m not alone Never meant to throw the first stone Knocking on an open door Throwing stuff right out the window I should have told you - I know I would face the world but I can’t bring myself to type „hello” We’re drifting apart in open sea Oceans of forgotten memories grew so slow between you and me At least I’ll I know I’m not alone Never meant to throw the first stone Knocking on an open door Throwing stuff right out the window I should have told you - I know I would face the world but I can’t bring myself to type „hello” We’re drifting apart in open sea Oceans of forgotten memories grew so slow between you and me

Crash 03:04

Before we finally decide to break up I’ll need to get this of my chest Before we finally decide to go our separate ways Somewhere along this railroad Of broken dreams and insecurities I think we might have derailed ourselves At times you wanted answers But I could not give you what you want I couldn’t help keeping my dumb head in the clouds I can imagine you feeling lost and all alone again When you need someone to come home to and say your sorry’s And if you’ll roam the streets tonight know that I’ll be there too We have let this come way too far to turn back now At times you wanted answers But I could not give you what you want I couldn’t help keeping my dumb head in the clouds Though I didn’t have the answers I gave my all and tried to keep us sane I gave my all but it wasn’t enough to save us both from the pain Move on / hold on Stay strong Don’t look back On us And what we used to be Move on - get your act together Stay strong - this couldn’t last forever Don’t look back - through the cracks On us And what we used to be Move on - what have we become? Stay strong - the dust will settle Don’t look back - we lost track On us And what we used to be

Chain Reaction 04:00
lyrics

Another day Another night I don’t think I will survive without you Time is slowly ticking by Every night I am without you I need you And I can’t stand for my actions I can’t take the consequences Feels like everything is different It’s so hard to pretend that you are needed and I want you by my side Feels like everything is different and I really hope you don’t forget All the sleepless nights we spent in bed A second chance Though all my friends Tell me you won’t stick around Forever I am trying to forget every night I am without you We’re so through And I can’t stand for my actions I must have caused a chain reaction Feels like everything is different It’s so hard to pretend that you are needed Still I want you by my side Feels like everything is different I really hope you don’t forget All the sleepless nights we spent in bed Feelings I had dealt with now seem to control me It’s lack of common sense Can’t face the consequences Need to get myself together Take a look inside and make me better Cause I can’t stand for my actions I must have caused a chain reaction The two of us we just can’t help it You gave my life a new dimension We’re both full of good intentions But I can’t answers all these questions Cause I can’t stand for my actions I must have caused a chain reaction Feels like everything is different and it’s so hard to pretend that you are needed I don’t want you by my side Feels like everything is different and I really hope you don’t forget About the worthless lives we both had

Die A Little 02:43
lyrics

Why am I so uncomfortable with silence? Does it measure my mistakes? Do I have to ramble on about nothing like I always do? Why am I so uncomfortable with you? What’s going on inside your head? Do I have to keep this going all my life? Or just a while? A swing and a miss Started out so promising Now I can’t help wondering Weren’t we a sitcom fantasy All along? I think that I just died a little What is up with airline food these days? I don’t have a word with ways I need to get away from all these white lies We were just A swing and a miss Started out so promising Now you can’t help wondering Weren’t we a sitcom fantasy All along? I think that you just died a little

Every time I feel alone I see your face again, it smiles at me Every time I feel alone I think of good times and why they can’t last Every time I feel alone I remember waking up next to you Every time I feel alone I see your bright eyes they make everything better I want to stop the world from turning When I’m with you Hold me tight and I will never let you go I will always follow wherever you go Distant shores wade into stormy seas I will be the one for you oh Katie When I’m lost and all alone I hear your voice and it’s calling me When I’m lost and all alone I put the needle on and sing with you Then my world would stop spinning Hold me tight and I will never let you go I will always follow wherever you go Distant shores wade into stormy seas I will be the one for you oh Katie When I’m with you The world stops spinning Hold me tight Katie

Why won’t this nightmare ever end? All I wanna do is wake up and stop pretending So it seems there’s no reason to breathe I let my heart grow hollow Down and back due to friendly attacks but I’m scared of what might follow While I never make a single move For fear of what might not come true I’ll settle for a little less disaster But I can’t afford the luxury Of sitting still while everything around me Only drives the cycle faster Why won’t this nightmare ever end? All I wanna do is wake up and stop pretending Everything I threw away was never gonna help me anyhow Why won’t this nightmare ever end? Every day darkens more than the last I am casting only shadow I gotta give it away to someone else to break I’m sick of all this give and take Inside my head there’s nowhere to run to But I’m trying to break through Why won’t this nightmare ever end? All I wanna do is wake up and stop pretending Everything I threw away was never gonna help me anyhow Why won’t this nightmare ever end? Can’t get around it S-stuttering The process got me down I got down I keep my secrets down Why won’t this nightmare ever end? All I wanna do is wake up, just wake up Why won’t this nightmare ever end? All I wanna do is wake up and stop pretending Everything I threw away was never gonna help me anyhow Why won’t this nightmare ever end? The nightmare ever end?

Throwaway 03:49
lyrics

Here I stand (e)Motionless Inside I scream in all directions All I want Nothing less Is a bit of your attention Walk around this stage like a mime trapped in a cage they applaud but no one tries to help me out Staring at me Turn a blind eye to the pain Leave behind my hope for change Right here and now I am just a throwaway A plastic bag that’s drifting through the wind Never thought that you would go away Our house of cards one blow from caving in I don’t think that I should be So ashamed for asking It’s the least that you could doo-o (Right?) Walk around this stage like a mime trapped in a cage they applaud but no one tries to help me out Staring at me Turn a blind eye to the pain Leave behind my hope for change Right here and now I would go all in But I’m all out Where to begin? It’s all so loud You’re killing me I’m blacking out On white lights zeroing in on me Don’t look at me You just can’t see Walk around this stage like a mime trapped in a cage they applaud but no one tries to help me out Staring at me Turn a blind eye to the pain Leave behind my hope for change Right here and now I don’t think that I should be So ashamed for asking It’s the least that you could doo-o (Right?) Don’t look at me You just can’t see

Hey Charlotte 03:35

Hey Charlotte I’m hungover and sad and a drunk evening is probably nothing more than that But the five minutes we talked where a beacon in the dark and it’s hitting me hard right now Tend to get lost like this a million times a week these days / and I’m always afraid Hey Charlotte I’ve got a million things to do and my heart is heavy of worrying too much But today I’m home sick on my couch and I just can’t get you out of my head Just let there be a spark this time and I’ll get through all of this just fine and I’ve crossed a line - I think you’re the light at the end of the tunnel Would you run away with me? Would you set the world on fire? Would you wake up with a smile and laugh and cry with me? Please stay a while, until morning comes and takes away Doubts and reasons not to say the things I’m saying now Hey Charlotte I wish I could say I’ve got a master plan and I’ve got this all figured out But really I don’t have a clue and I’m guessing neither do you Would you run away with me? Would you set the world on fire? Would you wake up with a smile and laugh and cry with me? Please stay a while, until morning comes and takes away Doubts and reasons not to say the things I’m saying now Hey Charlotte I’m hungover and sad and a drunk evening is probably nothing more than that

Postcard 04:36

I heard Sinatra sing so many times About the loved ones he lost Along the road / way Through breaking up and going his own way I really can relate This is the last night Before we walk our own roads to nowhere so please send me a postcard when you get there This train wreck is going nowhere And we both think that it’s gonna crash Into bits and pieces, we must have breached our extended warranty This is the last night Before we walk our own roads to nowhere so please send me a postcard when you get there I’m sorry for all the times You needed me while I was gone When all is said and all is done We’re wrongly scored minor chords In an upbeat major key song Kiss me one last time I’m torn apart I’m a lost a cause And I’m bruising you so hard I’m torn apart and I’m losing you
