Like a dopamine but in my chest that Keeps me restless is a weight too heavy The milligrams that keep me on this Chemical imbalance beam I’ve been running from the sunset threat But I guess I’m a mess I walk until the end I’m knee-deep in this wreck Knee-deep in this wreck Change for reasons you call it treason When you change like the seasons Theres a slight misconception In the daylight I can feel you breathe when the words hit home you speak but in the midnight when I hit the ground I’m down for the count I’m down for the count I let the sleep consume me Along with the fear of rest Let the dark in for a second for a mental check For a mental check Change for reasons you call it treason When you change like the seasons Theres a slight misconception My body is suffering from the lack of oxygen You’re asking for my lungs but I am still breathing In the daylight I can feel you breathe when the words hit home you speak but in the midnight when I hit the ground I’m down for the count I’m down for the count When you try to tell it all I think you knew this all along Was the bargain really worth the cost? I’ve been running from the sunset threat I’ve been running from the sunset threat I’ve been running from the sunset threat I’ve been running from the sunset threat To be a shine in the dark Two clenched fists I can’t be alone I can’t be along in this In the daylight I can feel you breathe when the words hit home you speak but in the midnight when I hit the ground I’m down for the count I’m down for the count In the daylight I can feel you breathe when the words hit home you speak but in the midnight when I hit the ground I’m down for the count I’m down for the count But when you try to tell it all I think you knew this all along Was the bargain really worth the cost? When you try to tell it all I think you knew this all along Was the bargain really worth the cost? I’ve been running from the sunset threat I’ve been running from the sunset threat I’ve been running from the sunset threat I’ve been running from the sunset threat

High Tide 04:08
Let's calm down a little bit, Close your eyes for just one minute, The fact that we painted all over it, Oh, in blacks and blues, blacks and blues. I took a walk down this morning, Realized that life get's boring, But I've been thinking lately, If the world heard me, you might as well hate me and if the world heard me, you might as well hate me Step back, step back, and look at how we got here right now. Let back, let back, all the memories that once taught us how. Show your face, show your smile, I know it's been a while (I know it's been a while) The grass is greener on this side, I build myself up based on pride, In the dark, I can see the light, Only when it's high tide. Step back, step back, and look at how we got here right now. Let back, let back, all the memories that once taught us how. Show your face, show your smile, I know it's been a while (I know it's been a while) Let's crack the glass of the hour, We are higher than the highest tower, If I lay down, don't more at all. Step outside of my mind to watch me fall asleep. Asleep, slowly I'll creep my way into the world's dreams Will I find you there? We'll explore life's affairs. No, no No, no Only on the high tide No, no No, no Only on the high tide High tide is coming,so I'll keep swimming Swimming for my life, as long as I'm living Living for today, not for any other, I am here strong,screw all the others Who told me I couldn't, told me I can't, Life is too short, you should take that chance Only on the high tide. Let's calm down a little bit

Rising Son 02:55
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, But it's a little more welcoming, Cause its a little more like home A little more like home I take a step back and remember just how I got to this point I'm kicking myself, and tripping over a lost cause. Well giving in never seemed so appealing, but there's no other way I could see myself healing, so I Load the bullet, put the gun to my face, take a deep breath in, and determine my fate I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, But it's a little more welcoming, Cause its a little more like home, A little more like home I've got my head in the clouds, but my heart in my stomach. Cause I can only go down after I reach the summit. I'll put on a show with no one in attendance, cause I've been depending on my independence. What's the point of opening up if you're only gonna get shot down? I've got my head in the clouds, but my heart in my stomach. Cause I can only go down after I reach the summit. I'll put on a show with no one in attendance, cause I've been depending on my independence.

Hell & Back 03:46
I've got burns on my feet went to hell and back just to feel the heat, yeah I needed that vacation Misguided interpretations You know I got a devil hanging on my shoulder and an angel on the other They say it takes 21 days to break a habit but its been three weeks and I'm still not over it When you see me falling down You better not crumble Oh you gotta keep your head up and wake up No more living in denial I'm in at a place I can't erase your hands I got nothing left to lose but I still tighten grip In an executive decision, from the top to the bottom, would you really call this trust? I've gone every day, every spring, every autumn, I think I've had enough, yeah I'm in at a place I can't erase your hands I got nothing left to lose but I still tighten grip I've got burns on my feet went to hell and back just to feel the heat, yeah I needed that vacation Misguided interpretations You know I got a devil hanging on my shoulder and an angel on the other

You can be you, and I can be me, Wish I could muster up the courage to work this out eventually. And there's not much that I can do, Cause I've been burning bridges ever since the spring of 1992. I've been feeling six feet down, While you get high with your fake friends, The words that you chose were shallow, I'm making friends in the deep end. The rain pours down like the pain of the state I've... I've left myself in. Breath of liquor and smoke open windows to my soul just to... Watch all my sins. I bathe my hands in the ocean's undertow to let a... Story begin. I wish I was a little smarter because living underwater is... It's no place to live. Dusted off some shelves and I found some old pages so I.. I could reminisce. About the pictures, graduation, memories of us just laying and... All kinds of that shit I never thought it'd be a switch I've prepared for this This is my true self, and it's better than I thought it would be. You can be you, and I can be me, Wish I could muster up the courage to work this out eventually. And there's not much that I can do, Cause I've been burning bridges ever since the spring of 1992. Cause I've been feeling six feet down, While you get high with your fake friends, The words that you chose were shallow, I'm making friends in the deep end. I've had it up to here, with all the cries and the bullshit, It's time to decide if you and I should call it quits, One shot, couldn't take the risk to hit it.

Open Tab 02:40
What's your claim? I don't even know your last name, but I'm trying to Cause your eyes are so damn blue. I'm six beers deep and I stumble my way Over to you You're like a midnight thief (you're like a midnight thief), You want to flea the scene (you want to flea the scene), Without giving me an opportunity Oh, you told me not to hesitate, Told me to step up to the plate. We define the memories, Turning grays into blues and greens. With a gaze that blinds me from thought, I thought it would be good to talk the talk so I can learn your name; another word for beautiful. And I know how small the room gets when it hits, cause we're both not here for this. I'll learn to walk before I run; A steady pace for a pretty face. What's your claim? I don't even know your last name, but I'm trying to

Upstream 03:25
Cause I'm swimming upstream Another heart attack, a cardiac oh a heart-felt getaway And if my hands warm up from the fire in your eyes I will never compromise the lies that you thought up inside The piece of me that quite A heart so bold, blood thick A weathered path too lost to follow it Maybe I'll catch you on the way back A trust fall to get those years back At the words we speak At the knees I'm weak At the broken promise We buried the body of water that I failed to float in Life is full of reference on a shelf closed by book ends The bridge that broke halfway was just my demolition Reflection reflects backwards like how my life's been Cause I've been swimming upstream Another heart attack, a cardiac oh a heart-felt getaway I can promise, I'm only human
