Stab my ears until they bleed
Drench this town with kerosene
Rip out my eyes so I cannot see
Tear out my voice box so I won’t speak
Cut off my fingers so I can’t play
It’s impossible to stop me
Let me fall until I reach you
Please
That’s all I ask
If the sky falls down
I’ll jump right in
No one can stop me now
(x2)
Light a match
Burn it down
Ashes all around
Light a match
Burn it down
Nothing’s left of this town
1 2 3 4
If the sky falls down
I’ll jump right in
No one can stop me now
(x2)

I’ve been pushing myself to my limit
I’ve been trying so hard and none of this is getting me anywhere
I’m holding on by my fingernails
Which I have bitten down to the bone
I’ve been clawing at my eyes
Which have turned blue
I'm telling myself to breathe
But my lungs cannot seem
To hold all of this air
I’ve been looking at the sky
Wishing that I could get out of here
I’ll tear myself to pieces
Before I make it
(x2)
Where’s the good part?
The good part that I was promised and guaranteed?
I’ve seen the truth
I’ve seen the truth
I’ve seen the truth
And I hate it
But none of this is gonna stop me
None of this is gonna stop me
I’ve been looking at the sky
Wishing that I could get out of here
I’ll tear myself to pieces
Before I make it
(x2)
All of this pressure
Is seeping its way into my pores
And I’m too cold to sweat it out
Pull down the shades
‘Cause I’m not getting up today
I’ve been looking at the sky
Wishing that I could get out of here
I’ll tear myself to pieces
Before I make it
(x2)

Stop To Feel The Wind

The dream catcher above my bed
Should be catching all my nightmares
But it seems to be catching all my dreams instead
Let's go back to nervous blinking
Because the world is making me dizzy
My body is too sensitive for all the stuff
That's going on in this place
My body is too sensitive for all the stuff
That's going on in this place
Time seems to be flying by so fast
And I never got the chance to feel the
Time seems to be flying by so fast
And I never got the chance to feel the wind
It's starting to feel like that year again
Back when everything
Felt like pretend
Where in the world did those days go?
Now that they're gone
I want them back
And I'm grieving
Grieving for before
Time seems to be flying by so fast
And I never got the chance to feel the
Time seems to be flying by so fast
And I never got the chance to feel the wind
Please stop to feel the wind with me
(Woah)
Because I miss you more than anything
Please stop to feel the wind with me
Maybe then I won't feel so alone

Dear friend how are you doing today?
I bet you’re not thinking of me
But I want you to know that I’m thinking of you
And I need you to know that you’re taking up my day
I want you to know I’m feeling pretty left out
I’m feeling pretty alone
I’m feeling pretty down
That’s why I’m taking up my time in my sanctuary
And writing a song about you
So long farewell to all of this
I won’t lie and say that I won’t miss you
‘Cause you know I already do
I want to thank you for helping me through all those years
I’m surprised that you stayed as long as you did
Now that I come to think of it
You never understood
The brilliance of my favorite band
And we always used to fight over the tiniest stupidest of things
I never could play one of my songs in front of you
Maybe I’d get through a verse
But the rest would be eschew
That’s why you never came out to see me play
Well maybe some other day
So long farewell to all of this
I won’t lie and say that I won’t miss you
‘Cause you know I already do
I want to thank you for helping me through all those years
I’m surprised that you stayed as long as you did
I guess I saw all the warning signs
But I didn’t face them
I’d run and hide
I can see that you and I are two completely different people
I just thought it worked for us
I’ll be here for you if you ever need me again
But for now I’ll give you all the space you want
Maybe that will buy me time to find someone who understands me
But until then I’ll just sit in my sanctuary
I’ll just sit in my sanctuary
So long farewell to all of this
I will wave goodbye as you walk down the street
Picking up your feet
Walking away from me
So long farewell to all of this
I won’t lie and say that I won’t miss you
‘Cause you know I already do
I already do (x4)

I used to have so much faith in you
But that seems to be changing
I used to have so much hope in you
But now all I see is selfish conformity
I guess I shouldn’t let it affect me as much as it does
Because after all you never really said you cared
In case you forgot
I was the one who
Picked you up when everyone was pulling you down
In case you forgot
I was the one who
Gave it my all
I see that doesn’t mean anything anymore
I’m starting to think it never did
I used to try to scream as loud as I could
With the hope that you’d hear me above the rest
But here’s my last scream
If you don’t hear me now then you never will
But here’s my last scream
In case you forgot
I was the one who
Picked you up when everyone was pulling you down
In case you forgot
I was the one who
Gave it my all
I see that doesn’t mean anything anymore
I’m starting to think it never did

Time For Me

I think that you were lying to me
On purpose but you made it seem like it was inadvertently
Because last night I had the weirdest dream
That you found somebody else and you said that she was better than me
The funny thing is I know that’s not true
Because no one could treat you better than I did or even figure out how to
I knew you weren’t a fighter but I still thought you might
Find the will to try for the first time in your life
Instead of effortlessly watching it all die
Now that you’re gone it is time for me to
Exclaim to the world how happy I am that I didn’t get stuck with you
Now that you’re gone it is time for me to
Find all the things I needed in someone
That never existed in you
I liked your cowardly tactic saying the problems were out of our hands
I said that wasn’t true but I’ll give you that
If it gets your incisiveness off my back
You said later on we can fix this but you’re wrong
Because I plan on writing you off completely after I’m finished writing this song
Now that you’re gone it is time for me to
Exclaim to the world how happy I am that I didn’t get stuck with you
Now that you’re gone it is time for me to
Find all the things I needed in someone
That never existed in you
Well you’re off
You’re off somewhere
And I’m here
Going to places and living in spaces
I always wanted to get to
Well you’re off
You’re off somewhere
And I’m here
Doing much better
And feeling much better without you
Now that you’re gone it is
Time for me to
Exclaim to the world how happy I am
That I didn’t get stuck with miserable old you
Now that you’re gone it is time for me to
Exclaim to the world how happy I am that I didn’t get stuck with you
Now that you’re gone it is time for me to
Find all the things I needed in someone
That never existed in you

I’d rather peel all the bark off of the trees
Than waste my life with this disease
Stomp on my dreams one by one
Then watch them rot in the sun
They will catch on fire
My face will perspire
I’ll watch the smoke rise into the sky
That’s where dreams go when we let them die
Don’t tell me it’s too late
I once felt that way
Stop blaming failures
On everyone else but yourself
Pick up the pieces
And take a good look at yourself
I don’t wanna live a selfish life
Self-indulgent and full of pride
I wanna treat myself right
Break down those stupid doors
Or take a hammer to the floors
You’ve gotta get out somehow
Don’t say you’ve strayed too far
Who’s to say you’re done and gone?
Don’t tell me it’s too late
I once felt that way
Stop blaming failures
On everyone else but yourself
Pick up the pieces
And take a good look at yourself
Don’t tell me it’s too late
I once felt that way
Stop blaming failures
On everyone else but yourself
If you want success
Go get it yourself (x4)

I wanna go somewhere
But I don’t want to go anywhere
I like this place
But it’s better when I move my feet
I want autumn to stay
And never fade away
But that’s not how you move
I wanna live to be who I wanna be
But that means taking chances
And living with consequences
Which we know
I don’t do too well on
I’ve had this headache all my life
I’m over emotional
I care too much
I think too much
And I’m bottled up
Bottled up
I wanna fly away all my hurt
I wanna crawl not the dirt
I won’t ever be just dust
I’m going somewhere after all of this
After all of us
Have you ever really felt scared?
Have you ever really felt like you don’t belong here?
Hey you
Have you ever really felt scared?
Have you ever really felt like you don’t belong here? (x3)
Your final step
That final push
There you go
You’re on your own
You’re on your way
You’re on your way
And you
You
Belong here

The Pains Of Thinking

Is anything here really mine?
What about my voice?
My words?
My songs?
I feel myself drifting away
If I concentrate too long
I'm not safe here
I wonder now if I ever really was
I know everyone is watching
But that does not mean I'm stopping
Callouses and cuts
Keep building on my skin
From days and days and days of producing this sin
I'm not trying now
But I'm going back in
Where is my head?
I think it's up in the clouds again
Or maybe in the trees
Where I fear to climb
Don't tell me
That I'm fine
Because I know myself better than you do
Nevermind I lied
I don't know myself at all
Callouses and cuts
Keep building on my skin
From days and days and days of producing this sin
I'm not trying now
But I'm going back in
Someday I'll win (x4)

He wakes up at 4am everyday
Looks at who he is
He’s never who he wanted to be
He’s molded from corporate pessimists
Suit and tie are his disguise
Feels that is he left
They wouldn’t realize
He told me
Even if the lord himself came down
And told him to re-think
He wouldn’t even blink
Eleven hundred feet about the ground
His back facing the sun
He wants to jump into the sky
Maybe then he will become someone
Doctor please get me out of this mess
Prescribe me some more Xanax
Anything to make me forget
That I lost the dream I had
Wanted to be a drummer in a band
Now I’m tied to a noose
In a business land that I can’t stand
Eleven hundred feet about the ground
His back facing the sun
He wants to jump into the sky
Maybe then he will become someone
He gave up on himself so long ago (x3)
Eleven hundred feet above the ground
His back facing the sun
He wants to taste the pavement
Maybe then he will become someone
(x2)
He told me
Even if the lord himself came down
He’d find that man on the ground
Disappointed and sorry that he never became the man
He so badly wanted to be
So badly wanted to be
So badly wanted to be
So badly
