You give me this illusion of freedom and I don’t understand
You say I’m free to go but then you take my hand
You fuck me you fuck up my plans
Now I know what you want, know what you say that you need
You can’t change in a month you can’t change for me
It’s not your choice you gotta leave.
I need you to let me go
Your grip on my heart is so tight and you’re stressing me out
I need you to let me go
Your grip on my heart is so tight
Cry for my time, never coming back
I wasted my time, thought it was the best
Adding all your drama to my trauma is not fucking easy
I need you to let me go
Your grip on my heart is so tight and you’re stressing me out
I need you to let me go
Your grip on my heart is so tight
Now I’m not sad, no now I’m pissed off
I’m confusing myself for someone I was
So sick so weak so needy
You are just like them and I can’t forget. You will never be any different.
And I can’t grow up and I can’t forget you will never be different!
I’m a kid, you’re a kid, you’ve been projecting your abuse
On the ones who will listen, on the ones who have been used
I am a kid and so are you
You’ve been projecting your abuse
On the ones who will listen
on the ones who have been used
I’m manic, this panic this bliss that always was a cycle of abuse is where I belonged.
When I’m not high well I’m so low this euphoric reprise isn’t worth my soul
You get me high but I need to let go this euphoric reprise isn’t worth my soul. You get me high and you get me low.....

It’s sad to know that the time to move on has already come
I said goodbye so many times, departure planned from the start
These years seemed long enough but all time’s abrupt when you leave a life you love
Separation pain starts.
How long has it been now? How many phases past?
How is it normal to be leaving friends behind?
Well it’s been a good long run, but I don’t feel complete just yet
Counting conversations left to come, and never give one up
We all want a life like past times plus our future intertwined
I never made friends that I planned to lose. Don’t lose anyone
I can't commit to temporary ties, even if for awhile
Don’t forget who matter most, don’t let it drop
Please forgive these feelings
I will always remember, the time when surviving was easy
I didn’t have to worry, I didn’t have to plan
My time was freely given, and it bought the best freedom
I want to remember, I want to remember without being jealous of the past
We all want a life like past times plus our future intertwined
I never made friends that I planned to lose. Don’t lose anyone
I can't commit to temporary ties, even if for awhile
Don’t forget who matter most, don’t let it drop

The heat from your cigarette is keeping me alive
The smoke In the air is a painting to my eyes
The air from your lungs is a perfect drug for me
And I can't wait to get that next hit when you release
Roll the window down and let the beauty out
Iced air rushes in my hand shakes and fills with doubt
Look into my eyes, tears black in the light
Place my hand in yours I wish we didn't have to die
They said I will never be happy again
They said it's where my story ends
There's a new beginning replacing the last one before it's even over, and over it is
All I wanted was someone to count on
To keep me surprised in that I'm surprised someone can be that consistent
You treated me like a prize to be won, and maybe I am
But I'm the one who wins my prize tonight.
They said I will never be happy again
They said it's where my story ends
There's a new beginning replacing the last one before it's even over, and over it is
With your hand in mine, and smoke in my eyes
We suddenly collide with destiny
The easy way out is never getting in
Now both of us know it's just me and you getting hurt
Baby this will hurt!
This time I will never be happy again
This time it's where my story ends
There's a new beginning replacing the last one before it's even over, like it is for us

Mara laughs when I give her the medicine
Smiles as she chokes it down
Because she knows without it
I wont fight her on my own
And birds are singing
In slow twisted voices
My name they’re chirping and I feel them closing in
As they lock their beaks on my throat at 5am
They knock on my window demand me to wake up
Over and over and over again we've been over this
When the hand strikes the clock at 2 PM the power's in her hands
She’s the poison I don’t wanna take
And my brain can’t function this way
Can I please stop taking my medicine
And birds are singing
In slow twisted voices
My name they’re chirping and I feel them closing in
As they lock their beaks on my throat at 5am
They knock on my window demand me to wake up
I can’t get up from these mental claws that hold me tight to my vices
Try to take back your life
It’s a common mistake to let your guard down when you’ve gone numb
I just want to survive
Try to take a fake vacation, just flee your mind
You can’t survive without it
I’ll take this knife dig till it swims in my brain.
Force feed the medication and all the drugs my body craves.
I can’t survive without it

We’re always running late in life, no time to build our dreams up right
We’re all tied to the clock in our chest, without warning to when the beating ticks will end
There is a number to the seconds we possess
Becoming less while I’ve been trying to build a life of value
It’s been a cycle, I’ve spent so many years when it only took a few to gain what I now have
Can I please stop wasting my time?
Well it all comes down to the culture context, because our world is designed to spin without interval from the time that we were taught to learn
There is no system for us to discern what we live for and why we earn our precious hours off the clock
I want to live right now, not at the pace of the crowd
And now today, I feel so scared we’ve already lost our chance
Our ticking hearts have never left us from the beginning
Can we plant the roots for progress, or is it to late to start?
Because it never seems to work out, to find people with the time to pursue this dream
It’s never seen why the trouble with committing is held so closely.
Can anyone stay for the love and not the gain?
I know it’s rough to spend these hours when you’ve worked so hard to find a time apart
But this choice is what defines you.
We come as one with a message to write for everyone who takes a part in refusing the trend of leaving out your heart when it seems not to fit, of giving up on your purpose again.
And if the world had 28 days would you be the same?
Would you act this way when reality holds less than you had hoped?
Just like a kid who wants to save the world, can I quit living so wasteful and keep ahold of the present....
