Kill Me Next Summer

The other day I saw a show
The kind of show that makes you sad
And the friend I came here with
Has cuts all over her wrists
I want to ask her why
But the moment passes by
And the singer of the band
Flips his hair back with his hand
I'm getting sick of this
It's the old days I miss
Be my home
Take me by the hand, don't let me go
We can roam
Take me to the place I used to know
They make your bones pine for the old days
Remember dreams you never had
Followed the rules all of my life
Now it's taken me to here
If I stay I'm all alone
If I leave I've wasted years
If I had known it all back then
Would I have changed myself?
If I leave I lose me
Or I lose everyone else
Be my home
Take me by the hand, don't let me go
We can roam
Take me to the place I used to know
This place is not home
I wish I could leave it
But life on my own
Is not a life I could lead yet
Lost in the spring sky
Dusk falls on our time together
Once the light of day dies
Then you'll miss me forever
This place is not home
I wish I could leave it
But life on my own
Is not a life I could lead yet
Be my home
Take me by the hand, don't let me go
We can roam
Take me to the place I used to know

I saw myself in a movie
I was talking way too easily
Wasn't scared, I was truly being who I want to be
And then it ends and I'm still here
Wishing I could go and disappear
Any thoughts about the sun are setting
No matter how hard I tried
I never stepped inside
This is the life I can't ignore
I had it right, but I want more
It's easy to pretend these days with you will never end
Too soon is the day when you say
That you have to go away
I just wanted you to stay
And I saw you in the next scene
We were laughing about everything
And I knew this was perfect
Nothing else could mean a thing
I'd walk through fire for a mile
Just to get a chance to make you smile
I say to the empty seat beside me
No matter how hard I tried
I never stepped inside
This is the life I can't ignore
I had it right, but I want more
It's easy to pretend these days with you will never end
Too soon is the day when you say
That you have to go away
I just wanted you to stay
On the top floor
On the top floor
On the top floor
On the top floor
No matter how hard I tried
I never stepped inside
This is the life I can't ignore
I had it right, but I want more
It's easy to pretend these days with you will never end
This is the life I can't ignore
I had it right, but I want more
It's easy to pretend these days with you will never end
Too soon is the day when you say
That you have to go away
I just wanted you to stay

Love's Rough Draft
04:27

I'm desperately searching
Searching for answers
To this problem that I never had
Sitting here waiting
I've watched all the days go
And you with them
But there's nothing left that I can do
But sit here waiting
You were the artist
You were the one thing on my mind
You don't care that this is over
It's no different now we're older
But when I'm dreaming
I am your wings while you're in flight
I am the night sky
Shining with stars when you need light
You're lost and waiting
I'm gone and fading
You're an enigma
You never cared to let me know
You don't care that this is over
It's no different now we're older
But when I'm dreaming
I am your wings while you're in flight
I am the night sky
Shining with stars when you need light
You're lost and waiting
I'm gone and fading
You're just a memory
You're an affliction of my past
You don't care that this is over
It's no different now we're older
But when I'm dreaming
I am your wings while you're in flight
I am the night sky
Shining with stars when you need light
You're lost and waiting
I'm gone and fading

There's no way that I can possibly make this come true
But I still have to try
Waiting just to fail inevitably always do
Let the time pass me by
But who to blame when I've done my best and still can't make it
Why should I shame myself again?
When I'm on my way back home
Did it ever even seem that far?
While I'm sitting here in the background looking up at the pace car
When I'm on my way back home
Did it ever seem that hard?
While I'm sitting dreading the years to come and thoughts from the graveyard
Winning isn't something that I do much anymore
And I wish that I cared
Getting nothing out of holograms I once adored
Keeping well unprepared
But that's just life
When you show up late they show no mercy
And I was wrong to look for better
When I'm on my way back home
Did it ever even seem that far?
While I'm sitting here in the background looking up at the pace car
When I'm on my way back home
Did it ever seem that hard?
While I'm sitting dreading the years to come and thoughts from the graveyard
The time that I was promised
You left me, you left me
The lie I wish was honest
You left me hanging
The time that I was promised
You left me, you left me
The lie I wish was honest
You left me hanging
The time that I was promised
You left me, you left me
The lie I wish was honest
You left me hanging
The lies, the tricks. the schemes
The unending illusion
The voices calling
Institutional confusion
That's how we learn
When we grow up old and stay there tired
That's why we keep on moving forward
When I'm on my way back home
Did it ever even seem that far?
While I'm sitting here in the background looking up at the pace car
When I'm on my way back home
Did it ever seem that hard?
While I'm sitting dreading the years to come and thoughts from the graveyard

An Empty Galaxy
03:56
|

Night is a little darker
But who's there to see?
Caught in the growing distance
Between you and me
Light in a distant cyclone
Keeps them in disguise
Taking away our freedom
Through unfriendly skies
So let me go
Into the sky
Nobody knows
Just what we'll find and
We are far from home and fuel's burning
All the time we are still searching for
Something in this empty galaxy
Reaching the end reminds me of
What I haven't done
Finally see the reason
Once I chose to run
Looking at the horizon
While condemned to die
Regretfully close my eyes now
As I say goodbye
So let me go
Into the sky
Nobody knows
Just what we'll find and
We are far from home and fuel's burning
All the time we are still searching for
Something in this empty galaxy
Watching as the world's breaking
But is it even worth saving?
Take me back, set me free
They won't die to save me
So let me go
Into the sky
Nobody knows
Just what we'll find and
We are far from home and fuel's burning
All the time we are still searching for
Something in this bleak existence
So let me go
Into the sky
Nobody knows
Just what we'll find and
We are far from home and fuel's burning
All the time we are still searching for
Something in this empty galaxy

In over my head
And down on my knees again
I'm stuck only watching
A chance every now and then
I haven't changed, I cannot try
I cannot answer you the reasons why
Trapped in a cell deep in my mind
I hope I live before the day I die
Live before the day I die
Live before the day I die
I know that we'll be back again
Be back again some day
Alive on the lifeboat
Afloat in a sea of red
I'm flipped by convention
And sunk by the words I said
Front facing backwards
Eyes fixed upon the floor
Decisions I'm making
Mistakes that I've made before
I walk a rope up in the sky
I'm barely balancing upon the line
With sand in my heart and clouds in my eyes
I hope I make it to the other side
Make it to the other side
Make it to the other side
I know that we'll be back again
Be back again some day
All this time I try
Watch as I let the days go by
It will come, I am sure, in time
Think of what you said
Far away, there's a light ahead
But for now it is dark as night
I haven't changed, I cannot try
I cannot answer you the reasons why
Trapped in a cell deep in my mind
I hope I live before the day I die
Live before the day I die
Live before the day I die
I know that we'll be back again
Be back again some day
I know that we'll be back again
Be back again some day
I know that we'll be back again
Be back again some day

Lost in time, no one's around
We can't live here on the ground
Skies are clear as day
Have to get away
If you want to feel the freedom then nobody says you have to stay
Left on this island
Left to waste away
Looking upwards
Look for my future in the sky
I cannot breath here
In the atmosphere
Close to the surface
So leave the ground and say goodbye
Lost in time, no one's around
We can't live here on the ground
Skies are clear as day
Have to get away
If you want to feel the freedom then nobody says you have to stay
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
Lost in time, no one's around
We can't live here on the ground
Skies are clear as day
Have to get away
If you want to feel the freedom then nobody says you have to stay
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go
I would leave but I don't know where I would go

Wishing To Be Anything
03:10

Still climbing endless ladders searching bare horizons
The view is great by fate has struck me down in silence
Here I cling, just wishing to be anything
This is a long, hard year that's nearly over
I've been alone too long
And when the gray is fading away
How do I know it's gone?
Sometimes I can't remember if I have a purpose
When things get existential everything seems worthless
Let me be, I'll soon forget the agony
This is a long, hard year that's nearly over
I've been alone too long
And when the gray is fading away
How do I know it's gone?
I sit awake until dawn
And though the morning has gone
There's no sun in my eyes
Looking forward
No love, no light
Used to blow up the sky
Ever burning
Please end this night
This is a long, hard year that's nearly over
I've been alone too long
And when the gray is fading away
How do I know it's gone?
There's no sun in my eyes
Looking forward
No love, no light
Used to blow up the sky
Ever burning
Please end this night

When I get home
I hope that you're there
I hope you're waiting by the first floor window
Yeah you know where
I wish I was happy
Happier than I am
'Cause being me and melancholy go hand in hand
It's easy to dream
Awake but not aware
A feeling that I can't describe
I can't be real, don't know how it feels to be alive
Do you ever wonder what actors do between the scenes?
Do they spend their nights and weekends inside machines?
I don't know what it is
I can't escape the mystery
It's easy to dream
But it's hard to fall asleep
Love's easy to have
But impossible to keep
It's easy to dream
But it's hard to fall asleep
Love's easy to have
But impossible to keep
When I get home
I hope that you're there
I hope you're waiting by the first floor window
Yeah you know where
I wish I was happy
Happier than I am
'Cause being me and melancholy go hand in hand
It's easy to dream
But it's hard to fall asleep
Love's easy to have
But impossible to keep
It's easy to dream
But it's hard to fall asleep
Love's easy to have
But impossible to keep
