We won’t go back to what we were We won’t go back to where we were We won’t go back to what we were We won’t go back to where we were
2.
We won’t go back to thinking we’ll always be The person we always see staring back in the mirror Waiting for the day that our time will come There’s no use in sitting still our time is now Tonight’s the night we raise the stakes There’s a hell of a mountain to climb but we’ll find a way The world is waiting The best things in life are always closer than they appear We’ve spent this time reminded the outcomes in our hands Over and over again (oh oh oh oh oh) I’ll sing till my lungs collapse Why don’t you spend your days thinking of better ways to break our composure? Our lives won’t depend upon what others say we do this our way As you plant your seed of doubt, we’ve already built a base to stand on We’ll bend but never break with every fracture We grow stronger Tonight’s the night we raise the stakes There’s a hell of a mountain to climb but we’ll find a way The world is waiting The best things in life are always closer than they appear We’ve spent this time reminded the outcomes in our hands Over and over again (oh oh oh oh oh) I’ll sing till my lungs collapse

You found the perfect place, the perfect place that you always dreamed of This sunken place has no love lost on your life Breathe in the air it’s your last bout of sanity The comfort of home never felt so thin This all feels so wrong, feels so wrong The darkness never faded Founded on hatred revived by weakness The darkness never faded Destroying everything you love Hold your breath. The fears progressed again now it’s holding you hostage She sees you falling apart at the seams Everywhere you go becomes a blackout There’s someone in the basement You should’ve never settled on this old house It holds demented secrets Grabbing ahold of you This hollow body built from a foundation of issues The time has come the time is now, fight back or get out The darkness never faded Founded on hatred revived by weakness The darkness never faded Destroying everything you love Just face it you were doomed from the start A heavy burden was left here that’s not moving on You have a chance to break this vicious cycle There will be no grace if it ends this way She sees you falling apart She sees you falling apart You see her face, she seals your fate, your soul belongs to her now A common cold running through your veins only it’s progressed to consume you You lost control of all the things you hold dear Time’s up what will you do The darkness never has faded Founded on hatred revived by weakness The darkness never faded Destroying everything you love I know there’s more inside of you I know there’s war inside of you

I can’t imagine What would happen If I never had you here all this time what my life would be like I want to thank you for everything Always giving me hope when I start to feel weak I can’t imagine What would happen If I never had you here all this time what my life would be like A loose limb, I start to fall You are the ones, you are the only ones I know can lift me up Any ounce of good in me is a reflection of you I can’t imagine What would happen If I never had you here all this time what my life would be like I can’t imagine who I’d become if I never had you here from the beginning of my life The whispers you thought I would never take to heart Speak to me now Taught me to grow I can’t imagine What would happen If I never had you here all this time what my life would be like What my life would be like I can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done You’re my rock You’re my hero You’re my heart And my sun, my sun
5.
Hard headed, cold blooded the perfect combination for a life-long train wreck That ran full speed off the tracks It takes the heart of a devil to speak his language oh so well Promising everything when all you bring is hell Try your approach from a different angle but you only end up just talking in circles We won’t hold back what must be said anymore Every breath, every breath you take is too much Do you feel anything you hollow waste of a name You build your castle, we’ll watch it burn Your crown now lays at the feet of those you betrayed You’ll never see us backing down Try to get back, try to try to get back, to a place that never heard your bull shit Cause we won’t take that, no we won’t we won’t take that no Your time is better spent wasting away We won’t hold back anymore Every breath you take is too much Do you feel anything? We won’t hold back what must be said anymore Every breath, every breath you take is too much Do you feel anything you hollow waste of a name You build your castle, we’ll watch it burn Your crown now lays at the feet of those you betrayed You’ll never see us backing down

Chin up darling, I’m still here to remind you of all that we’ve been through If you want to give up I’d understand, I’d understand It doesn’t have to been like this With our memories in hand we’ll make it through This is how its always ended, a simple feeling we neglected To let it go, won’t let it go when all the hope has left A glare in your eyes makes me wonder Should a tear be shed over what we’ve lost Or a smile arise over the time we loved Cause there’s still a means to this end one door closes a thousand more open This is how its always ended, a simple feeling we neglected To let it go, won’t let it go when all the hope has left Another blank heart to fill with false emotion Playing the part of a desperate lover The horror we faced as the end crept closer Making excuses when we both know our fates to end this now This is how its always ended, a simple feeling we neglected To let it go, won’t let it go when we should have left This is when it always ends no one knows what comes next It won’t seem right but you’ll be alright
7.
You’ve cast a dark shadow over everything that’s been close to you The only place you’ll be useful in this world is buried in the ground Grab that bottle tighter it won’t hide your secrets You can drown your sorrows but that won’t kill your demons He’s coming back With our heads pressed to the pavement we’ll never make a sound One day you’ll be gone and we’ll make it out (we’ll make it out) We refuse to end up like you Only a coward holds hostage all they should hold dear You worthless, atrocious excuse for a man Failing all you do is less of an embarrassment What a thrill it must be for you to watch everyone suffer In a cold room void of respect home of your sick agendas We’ll be out the door matches in hand to burn down the roof that held us captive We’ll press your head to the pavement so you’ll never make a sound again And rid this world of filth There’s no reason to hide anymore The sun will shine brighter than ever before We would bid you farewell but we won’t acknowledge we cared for you Your legacy won’t pass on Memories left burnt in the rubble With a grin on our face and shovels in hand We lay you down for good We’ll bury you a mile deep with a grave marked unknown x5
8.
I know you’re wrong with your expectations But I hope that I’m just dreaming Another mistake of your judgment pulls us further apart Why should I make you a better offer to stay around I had a feeling we were going nowhere but now I see it Will this be remembered as the end of us or my great escape? And then you left me here a shell of a man I did all I could to keep you here I’m not saying I’m done But I see nothing here worth fighting for Worth fighting for, no Even after all the grief we’ve felt This all ends with a smile Let go This is it this is where it all ends It’s not a secret now I’ll do better than you I know you have no time on your hands Why does it matter if I’m worth it? And then you left me here a shell of a man I did all I could to keep you here I’m not saying I’m done I’m accepting this, lost believe in us Just say you’ve had enough Anything worth loving is worth fighting for Worth fighting for I know you’re wrong

Seek to destroy all they’ve created A world of lies and fabrication It makes me sick to see you think you need to be just like them Stealing innocence, breeding ignorance Pin up dolls with plastic faces confusing love and admiration For a distorted feeling of self-worth that rots away their namesake The cameo appearance of a lifetime An obsession that formed regression of a young mind Don’t let their lies pull you away from yourself You have all that you need don’t listen to anyone else It’s sad to see everyone believe they’re entitled to everything Your heart will tell you what is real They only see your innocence as something they can steal I don’t want to see you stuck in a day dream that leaves you drowning Close your eyes and slip away to a dim lit room that’s colored in arrogance Letting a faint voice guide you As you wake the leeches have a hold They thirst for your faults to fill their egos Don’t let them control you Only the blind can say they’ve seen true beauty Not tainted by a world that’s lost its senses Don’t let their lies pull you away from yourself You have all that you need don’t listen to anyone else It’s sad to see everyone believe they’re entitled to everything Your heart will tell you what to feel They only see your innocence as something they can steal Don’t let their lies pull you away from yourself Don’t listen to anyone else
10.
You wash off the scars regardless of the outcome Where were you when this all started? Was it better not to take this chance? Is not fighting for your dreams a concept you could live with? All these days might haunt you for the rest of your lifetime Don’t be afraid the wounds you gained are proof you lived through Whether a heart or a hole they’re all just one in the same If you don’t fill them with substance You’ll suffer when they cave Make a promise to yourself that you’ll always believe so you can look back And tell the stories of how you lived your dreams Live your dreams All these days might haunt you for the rest of your lifetime Don’t be afraid the wounds you gained are proof you lived through We all need a way out sometimes but if you jump too much You’ll run out of rope to climb When you’re sick of it all just remember you’re meant for something Make a promise to yourself that you’ll always want to believe So you can look back and tell the stories of how you lived your dreams All these days might haunt you for the rest of your lifetime Don’t be afraid the wounds you gained are proof you lived through

Do you remember that day back in the winter, young and afraid When you took my hands and told me everything, everything would be okay With every step you walk away An ocean falls to take its place And I am losing confidence I am losing confidence The tides are strong between us Holding an ocean full of secrets Keeping us apart is a fear of the depths My heart could sink to And all I know is a world by your side And all I know is a world that’s gone With every step you walk away An ocean falls to take its place And I am losing confidence I am losing confidence With every step you walk away An ocean falls to take its place And I am losing confidence I am losing There’s a weakening in my knees A heart that feels every beat As I look into your eyes for the very last time You’re taking a part of me There’s a weakening in my knees A heart that feels A heart that feel s every beat As I look into your eyes for the very last time You’re taking a part of me
