The rain keeps pouring down
Onto the better half of me
Thoughts so drunk I’m gonna drown
I’ve never felt such empathy
Not long to go, awakening through anxiety
And it makes me feel like death ain’t far away
Disappointed by the things I had to say
Not long to go, I cannot wait for this day to end
Not long to go, I’m trying so hard to pretend to be far away from this place
Trying to let go
Not long to go, awakening through anxiety
And it makes me feel like death ain’t far away
Disappointed by the things I had to say

Hold me tight, tell me it’s over, it’s over now
Whats wrong can’t turn right, this is our last night
Gone forever

Bridges On Fire

These bridges they are burning down with every word I say
Disintegrating my intentions right into this ashtray
You have fooled me once, you have fooled me more than twice
I’m sick of sitting here listening to your bad advice
This time I thought I had all the right things to say
All my inhibitions they are keeping me away
Standing next to you, you’re filled with burning lies
Every time I look into those disenchanted eyes

My Best Friends

I heard the strangest news today
My best friends they are floating away
Still living in this town but no longer to be found
Can I hold myself accountable for things you chose to do
They all just float away
You all just float away
I never thought I’d care this much for you
It seems to be the only thing that I will ever do
For all the times you’ve hurt yourself to feel right, it’s not right
Still holding onto you
Go back in time, when we were painting constellations in our minds
Stopped listening to the things we said not wasting yet another breath
I’m thinking nows the time to go, don’t leave (stay)
Hearing all the notes we loved, listened until the sun came up, not trying to act too grown up
(Breathe)You’ve taken it too far again, taken far too much again, can’t keep up with your glowing pain
Slowly drifting away, never to be seen again, will you be living one more day
One day you’ll all just float away
I never thought I’d care this much for you
It seems to be the worst thing that I could ever do
For all the times you’ve hurt me to feel right, it’s not right
Still holding on to you
Can’t turn this time it ticks away, dreaming of a better day
To all my best friends carry on, nothing to gain from moving on
