It's the beginning of the end
what more did you want from this life?
I blinked just before I saw the light
i am awake, i am
forever dead
forever dead
your body trembles as
you recognise the time
time puts it in perspective
the past is just reflective
of the same mistakes to make
the years are shorter
we are running for our lives
but living is subjective
this isn't what wanted
but this is what we're left with
four seasons blend into one
These last years have become a blur
Its been so long since we came along
I think of where we used to be
I wanna thank you
for all the times we shared
before we cared
Remember how it used to be
your body trembles as
you recognise the time
time puts it in perspective
the past is just reflective
of the same mistakes to make
the years are shorter
we are running for our lives
but living is subjective
this isn't what wanted
but this is what we're left with
Out of reach, out of mind, out of sight, out of time
Out of breath, out of line, we are stuck, we’ll be fine
Out of reach, out of mind, out of sight, out of time
Out of breath, out of line, we are stuck, we’ll be fine
Drifting in and out of consciousness
Content with this feeling of self-contempt
Once aspirations now just frustrations
Each waking day should bring you hope
It could have been much worse
But you can’t shake this feeling of apathy
(chorus)
your body trembles as
you recognise the time
time puts it in perspective
the past is just reflective
of the same mistakes to make
the years are shorter
we are running for our lives
but living is subjective
this isn't what wanted
but this is what we're left with
its the beginning of the end
what more did you want from this life?
I blinked just before I saw the light
i am awake, i am
forever dead
forever dead
and if we live again
lets make the same mistakes
lets make them backwards
we'll have a happy ending

This place is unfamiliar
I need to find my way back
Searching, without direction
I’m lost, I’m blind
What will it take for me to see?
What will it take for me to realise?
It’s been right here this whole time
This is my reality
We all die
If these walls could talk they’ll convince me that I’m dead
To piece it all together like needles in my head
These bed sheets hold me down, I’m drowning my sleep
Awoken by the memories, its forcing me to sink
Keep myself blind
so, I won’t find
What comforts me
it plagues my mind
This is not reality
It’s my time
If only I could find a place to rest my fucking head
I’m following the hallways I never reach the end
Corridors and cobwebs, empty rooms and empty beds
with empty hands, begging, I’ve started it again
Keep myself blind
so, I won’t find
What comforts me
and plagues my mind
I've been here once before but can't remember where I exit
I see footprints on the floor but in reality, they’ve shifted
and the writing on the wall, looks more like hieroglyphics
the notice on the door that says the tenants been evicted
Keep myself blind
so, I won’t find
What comforts me
It plagues my mind

Im just a dead man
who hasn't died yet
Im playing the part
a tough guy who
hasnt cried yet
and i gave up trying
though i havent tried yet
said im done with lying
now im wondering
where the time went
you said its sad that i
drink til im drunk and
That it's too bad that i
sink till i've sunk til im
so far removed
From all else in the room,
i dont care what you think
but your eyes make me nervous
i wanted to tell you
but the words mak
e me choke
like when i said that im fine
I think mispoke
im finally done, you've finally won
you can take everything thing
just don't expect me to call you again

The concrete evidence is in all the concrete and chain fences
And when I look up to the sky to get my bearings I’m not sure which way north is
Its in the way a breath of fresh air is a vacation
we used to play by the creek but now its been vacated
We either don’t deserve this or we don’t belong here
we do deserve each other i think that part is clear
I don’t have and answers im leaning towards the contrary
I may late to the party but every part as guilty
a titalwave of apathy
we're leaving behind a sea of plastic and rubber
drifting towards self destruction
hopelessly trying to change direction
im not so sure future generations
will be able withstand the fallout
Took what we needed and poisoned the well
The consequences are starting to tell
You’re undecided if you wanted to stay
But i know i might go back some day
our time here is temporary
our children our legacy
our pride, the act of caring
about what we leave behind
we're at the end of life
this will all be taken away
the price we inflated is
someone elses to pay
Took what we needed and poisoned the well
The consequences are starting to tell
out of sight, and out of mind
look at the carnage that you left behind
I can’t stand this fucking hypocrisy
im not there yet but ive found where i want to be
this is a home that we all own
this is the end, there will be nothing nothing left
Took what we needed and poisoned the well
The consequences are starting to tell
out of sight, and out of mind
look at the carnage that you left behind
Took what we needed and poisoned the well
The consequences are starting to tell
You’re undecided if you wanted to stay
But i know i might go back some day

to get her
together
together every day i prayed i think she didn’t just to spite me
despite me
despite me staying by her side until she lied and said i’m better
i'm better
i bet her mother never asked her why she cried, i seemed so happy
yeah, so happy
so happens i was holding on the only thing i thought would save me
and now i know that on my own i let the ones that cared erase me
