Clouded Vision

The cloud in my head
Took from your sea
To make its drops
And wash away my beliefs
There’s a field where I lay
And plant nostalgic memories
And wait to die
Place them on my grave
So I can escape
All that remains
Of who I am
Or who I was
Shred my innocence
With teeth of guilt
They’re sharper than mine
But I’ll die with a fight
And all the things that have made me who I am
Have felt so alone and distant
And placed into my hands
A maverick at heart
Such a dim lit memory
A flame against the wind
In conviction ankle deep
If I die, I’ll die with a fight
Place them on my grave
So I can escape
All that remains
Of who I am
Or who I was
Shred my innocence
With teeth of guilt
They’re sharper than mine
But I’ll die with a fight
I was once a flame so tall and strong within
You were a storm the rain and strong wind
(If I die, I’ll die with a fight)

A Teenage Dream

It seems like every time I find myself
I lose my mind
And follow my heart
My reflection
And self-perception
Aren’t the same
And as we grow old, we’ll grow old together
And maybe we’ll learn
How to watch each other fall
I’ll be the one to catch you
You’ll be the one to carry me through it all
With piety and paramour
We’re young and reckless
And loving hard and leaving marks
A teenage dream
Wearing out our hearts
With each other’s scars
And as we grow old, we’ll grow old together
And maybe we’ll learn
How to watch each other fall
I’ll be the one to catch you
You’ll be the one to carry me through it all
With piety and paramour

Less is More

And I woke up late
With a smile on my face
I haven’t felt like this in a while
There’s nothing on my plate
Cause I gave it all away
I promised myself
I’d never feel this way
Again
Lately I’ve found that having less
Makes you mean more to somebody
Everywhere you go
Just know you’re not alone
There’s people just like you
Who feel the same way
And everywhere I turn I see myself five years ago
Don’t hate yourself for things you can’t change
Kids like us weren’t made to sit still
We’re loud and okay with what you call failure.

The Truth
02:34

Everything you’ve ever known
Has been a product of your environment
In the safety of your home
Where every picture is a memory
Of someone you’ve considered to be
A hero disguised in their human form
If belief is all about timing
I’m too young to start dying
But too old to put it off
The irony
Is I used twice the effort
And my whole heart
To be half of who I was
Every word you never spoke
Has been loud in its volume
And aggressive in its tone
But left inside you
Despite if they’re ever wrote
The words caught in your throat
Mean something to someone, somewhere
Bravery comes in many forms
Sometimes it just looks like
Picking yourself up off the floor
And letting the sunlight through
The blinds that yield the proof
Finding the truth means you’ve got something to lose
Your scars are something you wear
Exposed by the sun
But hidden by its glare
I’ll wear them for you
These pills collapse in their bitterness
Contrite but content
I won't let all that’s unique
Become indifferent
Bravery comes in many forms
Sometimes it just looks like
Picking yourself up off the floor
And letting the sunlight through
The blinds that yield the proof
I promised myself I’d never feel this way again
Full of optimism
But plagued with inhibition
Im wearing a smile halfway
I’d rather wear a full one and that be okay
And that be okay

Bottle Rocket

So they say
That biting your tongue
And pouring your heart
It’s all the same
I clench my jaw
Instead of my fist
Does that make me
Less of a man
Breaking chains
That have held us down
And kept us in place
If you’ve ever fell
You're not alone
Heart’s a bottle rocket
Just light it up and let it go
You’re in my heart
But it makes no difference at all
If I'm broken down
And blown away like chalk
I’m falling apart
If I’m broken down
And blown away like chalk
They held us down
They kept us here
They stole our youth
And taught us to fear
So start a fire
Burn the machine
Become part of something
Something you believe
Breaking chains
That have held us down
And kept us in place
If you’ve ever fell
You're not alone
Heart’s a bottle rocket
Just light it up and let it go
You’re in my heart
But it makes no difference at all
If I’m broken down
And blown away like chalk
I’m falling apart
If I’m broken down
And blown away like chalk
I’m falling apart
I’m falling apart

One to Blame

My love how did we ever end up here
This wasn’t part of the plan
Our home was gold so I burned it down
Now I’m laughing like a madman
I see the sirens flashing
But I’m waiting for the sound
It always comes around
Before I find my footing
Shut up, shut up
It's time we listen
Get out, get out
Escape our prison
It’s both our fault
We’re here
Feeding on the tension
Shut up, shut up
It's time we listen
Get out, get out
Escape our prison
It’s both our fault
We’re here
Feeding on the tension
My love how did we ever end up here
I’m trying to read your lips
Now we’ve melted down our wedding bands
To mold them into bullets
I see the sirens flashing
But I’m waiting for the sound
It always comes around
Before I find my footing
Shut up, shut up
It’s time we listen
Get out, get out
Escape our prison
It’s both our fault
We’re here
Feeding on the tension
Shut up, shut up
It’s time we listen
Get out, get out
Escape our prison
Its both our fault
Are you ready for war
Are you ready to fight
The enemy is close
Like a thief in the night
Stealing what we built
But it’s always you and me
And there is no surrender
