Once alive shining bright with hopes and dreams
Light a fire through the night
Find what you need is just a reminder of your worth again
Or so it seems
Late to sleep, late to rise, once it gets too tough
Later nights come with time when your skin gets rough
And you've gone numb but bend turns into break when pressures just enough
(Breathe)
Quit your stalling you claim it’s your calling
(Breathe)
If you fall on my name then I’ll be around
(Breathe)
Hide your scars, pull the weight that you're hauling
(Breathe)
It gets hard but I swear I won't let you down
Pretty dancer do a dance for all your friends
Ignore the looks you'll get
You'll fit right in, fit right in
Who needs respect? You've got their attention
Pretty dancer do a dance for all your friends
Ignore the looks you'll get
You'll fit right in, blaming this on the first man that left but the men you show off to are just like him
You're not getting younger
This won’t last forever
If you do this right maybe you won't remember
Here's your reminder you've got what you need
And sadly it seems it still didn't change a thing
Once alive shining bright with hopes and dreams
Light a fire through the night
Find what you need is just a reminder of your worth again
Or so it seems
Late to sleep, late to rise, once it gets too tough
Later nights come with time when your skin gets rough
And you've gone numb but bend turns into break when pressures just enough

Hope For Change

Rise higher
I know you're feeling down
Looking back at the mess we made, it's safe to say, you've got your work cut out
Remember all the time we spent with hateful words and butting heads
The daily strife we'd always dread
You'll find your way back down
The things you said belittled every move I made
Time and time I let you slide
I should have been afraid
My hope for change abandons me
In faith I gave just one more chance you took for granted
Now you finally see
My hope for change abandons me
I thought I knew but I was wrong
Your siren song would be the death of me
Admire the life I finally lead
I can do this on my own
But left alone you're helpless now it seems
No pity for a heartless thief
You wear a mask to hide defeat
You lost my trust but I still keep your pride between my sheets
My hope for change abandons me
In faith I gave just one more chance you took for granted
Now you finally see
My hope for change abandons me
I thought I knew but I was wrong
Your siren song would be the death of me
You'll be the death of me

In My Head

It's in my head, it's in my head
The thought leaves my heart just as heavy as lead
The notes that I write so I’ll never forget are pinned to the wall above my bed
I second guess and I double take
Watching my back cause I never feel safe
I stay in my boundaries
I'm scared just to make the smallest of minor mistakes
It's in my head
What's wrong with my attention span?
I swear I’m doing what I can to make my mind work right
It haunts me while I sleep at night
I'm such a sight to stranger faces
I'm such a mess in public places
My expression shows I’m anxious and so very discontent
The dirty looks I get show hatred
Such judgmental angry faces
The fire in their eyes burns holes straight through my chest
It's in my head, it's in my head
The thought leaves my heart just as heavy as lead
The notes that I write so I’ll never forget are pinned to the wall above my bed
I second guess and I double take
Watching my back cause I never feel safe
I stay in my boundaries
I'm scared just to make the smallest of minor mistakes
It's in my head
Self-medication has never been the best form of treatment
A year ago I never would have guessed
Am I too blinded by my pride to see what needs to happen next?
I blame the people I’m surrounded by for the things I can’t accept
What’s left to medicate?
My hands are shaking
It's in my head, it's in my head
The thought leaves my heart just as heavy as lead
The notes that I write so I’ll never forget are pinned to the wall above my bed
I second guess and I double take
Watching my back cause I never feel safe
I stay in my boundaries
I'm scared just to make the smallest of minor mistakes
It's in my head

My dear you've grown so blind
A light that shines for damaged minds
Why believe all you see?
I know we've both seen better days, it gets the best of me
We used to be so free
How could you throw so much time away?
Same routines everyday
So many stories to tell but no words to say
Your thoughts are at your fingertips
I guess your lips just let them slip away without a single trace
I tried to ease your ignorance but I can't seem to break your grip
And you won't look me in the face
There’s no emotion in your eyes, it's like you're already dead
If you could break your ties then we could go back to when you were alive and full of love and being good was good enough
You're lost in your own head and now you ask to be friends
You're safely locked away
But see nothing from your window pane
At least that way they see the things that you want them to see
Promiscuous at best
A damsel in distress
I fucking hate the way you try to impress the rest of us
You flaunt yourself around with no grace
Now your hearts on your sleeve and it shows on your face
My dear you've grown so blind
A light that shines for damaged minds
There’s no emotion in your eyes, it's like you're already dead
If you could break your ties then we could go back to when you were alive and full of love and being good was good enough
You're lost in your own head and now you ask to be friends

My words had made their great escape but you weren't listening
You should see the things, see the things you've been missing
I've been writing everyday
Fighting everything in my way
And I'll watch you break
If you don't set shit straight
Writing every day, fighting everything I face
And I’m not afraid to make this change
Do you find yourself at home making progress out there fighting on your own?
You're all alone
Making progress out there fighting on your own (x2)
I've been writing everyday
Fighting everything in my way
And I'll watch you break
If you don't set shit straight
Writing every day, fighting everything I face
And I’m not afraid to make this change
My whole life's been rearranged
I'm thinking for myself
This time I’ll make this change
You should see the things, see the things you've been missing
