I fucked up yet again
The story of my life
No matter how I try
These things always pass me by
Call it selfishness
I take everything for granted
And I'm left with emptiness
Nothing left to show
For all the sweat and tears
I'm not getting out what I'm putting in
It never really mattered
This has always been a game
But now I'm getting older
And I've no one else to blame
And for the first time
I'm getting it right
It's getting easier to cry myself to sleep at night
I've fucked up yet again
The story of my life
No matter how I try
These things always pass me by
I talk of all the things that I wanna do
But some things never change
I never follow through
No more second chances
There is nothing left to lose

Apathy

I've been given this place to hide
And I've never felt more alive
I've been dying for my whole life
And now I'm finally making time
To carve a new life out of old stone
To make right what I left wrong
To come back to where we left off
I'm picking up and moving on
We're all searching for answers to questions that have never been asked
These faces change but it's the change that keeps our hearts intact
Burdens carried on broken backs
The weight of guilt from years past
When all that's left are memories and regrets
You'll know the meaning of a safe bet
So count your chips and weigh the odds
And take your chances in the rain
Clasp your hands and pray to your God
And hopefully your cries aren't in vain
Defend your heart against the rising tide
Keep your hands at the level of your eye
I swallow my pride for the last time
And let the guilt wash over me

My friend,
I never thought I'd be writing you this song
I never thought I'd have to say goodbye to you
A father's guilt and memories
Is what you've been reduced to
How could we have been so blind
How could we have missed all the signs
I would have done anything to keep you alive
And I'd give anything to bring you back to life
There are no words to describe waking up that night
And finding out my friend was gone
Seeing you lying there
Watching them take you away
I've never cried so hard
All that's left are photographs and visions I can't forget
And they've been calling about this borrowed time we've been living on
But I'm afraid I'll lose you again
I'll never get the chance to take back all those things I said
Your selfishness got the best of you

Greener Pastures
02:41

I need to get the fuck out of here
There's nothing left but reminders of a better year
When I was happier living in fear
Not knowing if I would make it home
7,000 miles, half a world away
Sometimes I wish I had fucking stayed
I wouldn't have fucked up everything
And maybe I could sleep at night
Your memory runs through my head
They keep alive what I thought was dead
Your voice hangs like a ghost, it's ringing in my ears
I turn around and that ghost has disappeared
I'm sorry I couldn’t be everything I promised you I would be

Let Down

I've never been one to get it right and I'm sure as hell not planning on starting now.
So we'll celebrate these failures as the day we were reborn. FUCKED!
We're dancing until the sun comes up.
So hold your hands to the sky.
The sun is coming up.
We wear these failures like a badge and we wear them proud.
We wear these failures like a badge and we wear them fucking proud.

The Offing

The moon hangs low in the sky but in your eyes I can see
the sunrise is just, just around the bend.
And we don't have much further to go.
No it won't be, be long now.
Thank you for the life you breathed back inside of me.
For showing that there is possibility.
There's upside in the hard times.
I just needed to find a way out of the dark.
And you were there to provide me with the spark that lit my way.
We never what we need until it isn't there.
It's not that I don't want it, it's not that we don't care.
So I refuse to let this light pass me by
and live a life spent wondering what could have been if I had only let it burn.
These dreams can't hold me any fucking longer.
As we round this turn the futures so fucking bright.
It burns out in my eyes.
It burns out in my eyes.
