Sleeping 02:20
I can't stop slipping up and making mistakes Over and over, it's the same thing, each day It's like there's something crawling under my skin. It's like there's something crawling under my skin. And I can't sleep at night My thoughts alone keep my wide eyed Now I can't sleep at night I can't put up against this fight I'm sleeping with my eyes open I can't put up against this fight I'm sleeping with my eyes open Until I learn to let up and let go Until I learn to let up and let go This will continue to haunt me This will continue to haunt me I can't put up against this fight I'm sleeping with my eyes open I can't put up against this fight I'm sleeping with my eyes open And if living a lie makes you feel alive Then send me straight to hell When will I learn let up? When will I learn to let go?

Dying Light 03:25
I used to be so courageous Not a care in the world, I never cared what they said But little by little They chipped away They stole a part of me Word by word I felt them all Stripping me clean (But now I’m singing) Renew the fire, rekindle the flames When did the fire leave my eyes? I used to be so full of life But who could blame me? When I was just a kid I never knew what growing up meant Not a care in the world, I never cared what they said But little by little They chipped away They stole a part of me Word by word I felt them all Stripping me clean Dying light With nowhere to shine I’m a dying light When did the fire leave my eyes? I used to be so full of life Renew the fire, rekindle the flames And I will not be contained I'll never be the same

Bad Habit 02:13
I wasted too much time Caring about what you and your friends would say I swept away in their thoughts and their beliefs I got carried away I got carried away Now I've made some mistakes And I'm okay with that I'm turning things around for the better Hook, line, sinker you caught me And made me your prisoner Since when did I care about Your half-priced wisdom? I've got a bad habit Of keeping you around But I'm letting you go You don't control me You don't control me You never could You never would You don't control me You never could again

I must be the only one in this place who's not blind Cause you don't want to talk to me I get it and that's just fine But what I can't take Is when you fake it When you smile but your mind is vacant And what I can't stand Is when you fake it When you smile but your mind is vacant Oh, God, Save me This can't be the only way Oh, God, Save me This can't be the only way out I said I'd come back But I never had the guts And I said I loved you But I never had the guts I could've, I would've But I never had the guts I could've, I would've I never had the guts I could've and I would've But I never had the guts I could've and I would've But I never had the guts Can the past outweigh the present? Or can the present outweigh the past? You know, I never had the guts to ask I never had the guts I never had the guts I never had the guts

Underground 03:29
I cant find my way out From this hole I've dug myself I always heard it was easier Living in solitude, underground And I find it hard to breathe When your arms aren't wrapped around me 'Cause I feel so close and yet so fucking far away Living in solitude, underground 'Cause I've been there, I've been there I'm still there, I'm still there I'm still here, I'm still here And I'm not going anywhere I'm over and out I think I'll stay here at home 'Cause I'm better off on my own I think I'll stay here at home 'Cause I'm better off on my own On my own.

Helpless 03:22
You say I'm damned if I fight Damned if I don't That this could finally be the end of my rope Well, if it's true, what you say I think I'd rather find out the hard way Refuse, refuse I refuse to live like this Helpless Thinking and thinking every single day Can I break the cycle? 'Cause the cycle is breaking me Yeah, I refuse to live my life in a cage Shackled down by built up hatred and rage Still at 2am, I ask myself: Am I really as strong as I claim to be? What if I fake it, will I make it or will I sink or swim? Cause when I think out aloud, I always sounds so grim But when I bottle this up, I overflow from the brim I can't see straight, it's getting dim My mind is a loaded gun There's a bullet in the barrel that I can't outrun I'm not as strong as I claim to be If I'm being honest, I'm barely hanging on Can I break the cycle? 'Cause the cycle is breaking me
