Aching Mind

Do you ever think back on me
And the time we shared
Were you ever scared
To reminisce the nights
We laughed and screamed and swore we'd stay
Friends forever
Take the worst and bleed together
Like fire, you're bright and burning out
Like a bad cliche, you're a reckless case
You never stood a chance
I forged ahead and beat the odds
In the nick of time but you fell behind
Somewhere along the way you lost your place in line
Somewhere along the way you lost your aching mind
I wish I stayed with you a while
To dismiss the doubts
That were sprouting out and blooming in your mind
I think I could have saved you from
What you did become, but you fell behind

The Beast We Built
03:09

Your voice has a hidden tone
Speak up or we'll never know
I judged you by your first impression
Dead set with the best intentions
A loud voice in a crowded room
I fooled them and I'll fool you too
A small leap off the highest ledge
We broke off what we couldn't get
For all the things they took away
For all the things we never had to say
Don't tell me you're done yet
I'm just getting started
I've struggled with secrets
Since the moment we parted
And I tried for the longest time
To pick up what you left behind
And I've come to the worst conclusion
You're all wrong, that's the best solution
But you shed what you're scared to feel
You hold back but the layers peel
I'll make sense of the words you share
With close friends and the ones that care
We tamed the beast we built

The Past Tense
02:54

Was it all you planned
That false sense of accomplishment
Did it break you or make you smile
I tied off the loose ends
In fear of the past tense
Cause everything up to this point never made much sense
You've got it bad, I'll give you that
You've got it worse than the rest do
But that's not an excuse
Cause we, we all tried for the longest time
And the word spread like a forest fire
That engulfed us as our time expired
I just held my breath in my chest for a year too long
So exhale and I'll keep my cool
Well the rest failed, so it's all on you
To show them you know them and not what they knew you'd do

Somewhere in the Middle
03:01
|

|
You seem careless and quite content
With this little hole you've found yourself in
It's just a phase, you'll come around
But times have changed, you're slowing down
And I need to know, where do you go if this breaks
And I need to know, where do we go when this breaks
Because somewhere in the middle is where we need to be
And I need to meet you there, I'll see you around
And I hope that in the meantime you're planning your escape
A thrilling climb you plan to make and just in time
You seem careful and out of place
A shitty smile from better days
You lose yourself when you arrive
It's just the part of you that died
And I can't pick apart every word that you said
But I try and I try and I'd do it again
Cause I'm scared I'm alone in this cycle I'm in
So I do what you say cause I know that I must
And you gave me your hand so I gave you my trust
And I'm trying to break, and I'm trying to break
