Lyrics: |-
da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da
that's all i'm hearing
when you are near me
a sweet and lonely beating of the heart
i'm bursting out like a fractured battery
leaking out what's been stuck inside of me
da da da da
da da da
the sound of it is killing me so slowly, so slowly,
as i'm waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting for you
i try
i sigh
i lie
why?
where do stories go when forgotten?
what do puzzles do when we solve them?
da da da da
da da da da
on and on and on and on
da da da da
da da da da
on and on and on and on
i've been wondering
if all the nothing
i have can go somewhere new
but for now i'll slowly just be waiting, and waiting,
and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting for you
you
say things
that i’ve
been trying to forget
and i've
been stuck
on loop inside my head
because
of all
the compliments i get
from you
always
make me
feel worse
i've had enough
i'm breaking out
i'm waiting no more, no waiting
i'm fighting a way
out of the haze
i'm waiting no more on you
i'm so sick and tired of
watching trains
pass by the day
so i am
waiting no more, waiting no more on you
you
say things
that i’ve
been trying to forget
and i've
been stuck
on loop inside my head
because
of all
the compliments i get
from you
make me
feel worse than when you try
to push
me closer to
the edge
so now
i'm done
with it
no more waiting
i'm done waiting

Lyrics: |-
i wanna share what's in my heart
but my emotions tear apart
all the words, all the chords
before they have a chance
i try to write them in a book
but all the effort that it took
i'll rip the page
and let the pieces slowly drift away
i can't escape
this feeling and
the shadows that it casts from it's core
i can't find
a new light
to guide me back from the dark
every time i open up
this book of mine
i always find
it's all lost, all gone
no thanks to the endless loop of
apathy, perpetually
tearing up the pages of
my feelings to nothing
and i~~ can't make it stop
a melody
was effortlessly free
but now i only see
an empty diary
throw the notebook to the ground
to join the pages from it's bounds
had enough
this feeling stole the passion right out of me
i lay my head into my hands
i've given it all that I can
how do i
open up and let the words free
oh i reach out
to find a song
to give it a meaning for myself
and i'll take hold
and i'll cling tight
but it always slips away
every time i open up
this book of mine
i always find
it's all lost, all gone
no thanks to the endless loop of
apathy, perpetually
tearing up the pages of
my feelings to nothing
and i~~ can't make it stop
a melody
was effortlessly free
but now i only see
an empty diary

Lyrics: |-
you should be sitting up straight, but without stiffness
and should feel comfortable
don't ever let yourself become tense
now let's type some more on the home row keys
ready? (hoo) GO!
here we here we here we go nah
using proper rhythm
wiggle your fingers and jam the keys
a quick snap of the finger
and with practice, that's all there is to it (all there is to it)
are you relaxed?
you should be, you know
using proper rhythm
wiggle your fingers and jam the keys
a quick snap of the finger
and with practice, that's all there is to it

Lyrics: |-
has your voice been truly locked away?
kept inside these worn out tapes we've made
but maybe this is another dream i'll soon forget
so i'll put it with the rest and wait for you instead
i'll open my eyes to find it was just another lie
and you'll be there, somewhere to give me your reply
and i will
press record just like before
hear your voice forevermore
save the waves that resonate
from a worn out tape
i will find you in time in my mind

Lyrics: |-
i'm staring at a mirror of myself
all i see is someone else
call my name and ask for help (i feel fine)
wondering why i can't recognize
the look i see in my own eyes
they tear up but i feel fine (i feel so fine)
this can't be where i am
i know we're not broken just yet
so let's begin (to start again)
i won’t let this be where we end
i'll give you this to make our world brand new
despite the dark out there, there's a light we share
That cuts through all of the doubt we tell ourselves that we can't bear
give your voice a shout, your soul wants to be loud
don't be scared of drowning out the crowd and hearing your new sound
every time i look back in the mirror
missing pieces reappear
the parts of me i couldn't hear (now i am fine)
so lets pretend (until the end)
that maybe we could win this
nobody besides us can say that we're finished
this is where we are now
and we're not stopping here
this prison's now a battleground
and we'll show them what they fear
despite the dark out there, there's a light we share
That cuts through all of the doubt we tell ourselves that we can't bear
give your voice a shout, your soul wants to be loud
don't be scared of drowning out the crowd and hearing your new sound
i can't wait to see where i am
What we've done here has just begun
i know you hear me over there
i know you're not afraid, don't be scared
staring at a mirror of myself

Lyrics: |-
i still remember the summer breeze
brushing the words we sang through maple leaves
In a field of daffodils we found our song
In that moment is where we belong
how did we drift apart?
when the flowers wilt
so do our hearts?
i try to reach out with this melody
that echoes between you and me
but it's silenced by the endless doubt
lost to forever now
materialize our time into a song
to keep the memories close as time moves on
but it's worn out
(distorted) and decayed
as our strings
(they break and) separate
all the flowers now are withered through
but with time they'll bloom anew
i'll find a voice i am so lost without
and break from forever now

Lyrics: |-
you got this look in your eye as you talk too much
about yourself when i suddenly interrupt
i say hey, uh, honey, now that's quite enough
i like the way that you're lookin when the lights go up
i don't mean to be rude but i assume that we're vibin
and this ain't an environment for that to survive in
so how about we change it for a night on the street
maybe tell me when you're free and then hey, let's meet?
okay?
you and me both be
takin it slowly
but you're holdin me boldly
like you're worried i'm cold
see
i'm a little bit scared for how little you've known me
that you seem like you know me, but our feelings are growing
the way you approached me the minute you told me the way that you felt
was pretty consoling, and i'm embarrassed how much that i fell
but hey, i like this way more than being alone
so, check, please
movin back to the ride then back to the room
let's go on inside and make a cocoon
let's be the kind of alive when you're doomed
the way that they do when there's nothing to do
besides wait for the pin drop
and laugh til the world stop
watch things in bed on a laptop just half watched,
half lookin at you in a tank top
while we just wait til it turns off
since the power in the city block finally bid adeiu
but we're happy since we fit each other like glue on a school box
or a a moral in an aesop, that's how it is ever since
you and me got me and you and i'm feelin like a fool
for ever thinkin it too good to be true
when you made my brain pop, and it gave me the following thought
about how to live better than not
cuz you should shoot the one shot that you got
why wait around for forever when there's now to be kicked off?
