when i die
i hope i slip beneath the waves
and the lake
becomes my grave
and when you cry
I hope you know your tears
are watering the change
that we’ve been waiting on for years
but i hope
before the lake takes my soul
i’ll face some fears
and make some goals right here with you
but it’s a big mean world
and uncertainty is everywhere
and I’d be fucking lying if i said that i wasn’t scared
im tryna see a future where my lungs are full of air
not just exhaustion and despair
and you don’t have to believe that everything’s okay but
you should try to believe in everything you say and
you don’t have to believe that one day we’ll be free but
you should believe in you and me
when i die
i hope i slip beneath the waves
and the lake
becomes my grave
and when you cry
I hope you know your tears
are watering the change
that we’ve been waiting on for years
but i hope
before the lake takes my soul
i’ll face some fears
and make some goals right here with you

I see you watchin thinkin
Under the stars just drinkin
Wonderin how we got here
And ponderin why we’re still here
But I’ve got no answers for you
My friend
I’ve got no answers for you
I never saw the sunrise
Unless I stayed up all night
Funny the world keeps turning
Even though it keeps burning
I’ve seen too many kids die
Before they even turn 25
What gives their life less meaning
Than those with hearts still beating
But I’ve got no answers for you
My friend
I’ve got no answers for you
You try and try
Cry and cry
But I’ve got no answers for you
I see you stuck there thinkin
That you’re trapped in the deep end
How can I make this pain die
I’ve tried so many damn times
But I’ve got no answers for you
My friend
I’ve got no answers for you
You cry cry cry
And I’ll be by your side
But I’ve got no answers for you
I've got no answers for you’
I’ve got no answers for you

give me your word
that i won’t end up hurt
i have nothing left to give
if you break me again this is it
i don’t mean to get you down
but i am done with getting kicked around
and losing the love that i thought that i had found
im putting myself first from here on out
so give me your word
that i won’t end up hurt
i have nothing left to give
if you break me again this is it
it might be time to leave this town
and go some place where i can not be found
I would change my name and reinvent myself
of only i could leave behind that gal
so give me your word
that i won’t end up hurt
i have nothing left to give
if you break me again this is it
so give me your word
that i won’t end up hurt
i have nothing left to give
if you break me again this is it

People Come and Go

there’s frost on my breath when i speak your name
cause missing you still hurts and it floods my blood with shame
but people come and go as the seasons they do change
so i hope that we are both better than we were last may
we were drifting in place
oceans away
i was looking at your face
longing to hear you saaaaaay
(x3)
i won’t go
i won’t go
i won’t go
but i watched you walk away
there’s frost on my breath when i speak your name
cause missing you still hurts and it floods my blood with shame
but people come and go as the seasons they do change
so i hope that we are both better than we were last may

Dance on the Ashes

who i was yesterday is already gone
and who i am today isn’t who I’ll be for long
i have been so hurt and I’ve been strung along
and i have been the one to make things go wrong
oh i have been the one to make things go wrong
and i have lost some people who i loved and adored
over unresolved feelings from what came before
on my end and theirs and even on yours
we all carry something that we didn’t ask for
we all carry something that we didn’t ask for
sometimes i feel so small that i can’t get out of bed
and other times i feel like the best that’s ever lived
but most of the time im somewhere in between
take my good with the bad and hope that i find peace
take my good with the bad and hope that i find peace
see i ain’t upset no not anymore
cause thats not what livin’ and dyin’ is for
i screamed and i cried, i swore and i yearned
then i danced on the ashes of the bridges that i burned
i danced on the ashes of the bridges that i burned

everybody hurts sometimes i know
but it has been a while now that i’ve been living low
my heart it ain’t cut out for this here world
i wish i could be different but thats not how it works
sometimes i think back to when I was seventeen
i was so mad i hurt people close to me
but angers just the mask that pain hides underneath
i thought i would get past it but i’m still on my knees
i don’t know where my home is or where it ever was
i wish i’d had a clue when i was gettin’ on that bus
that even with a plan I would still end up lost
like every other soul who has drifted round this rock
so tonight im gonna pray but i don’t believe in god
i’ll ask the stars for clarity and strength to carry on
then i’ll say one more for the people that i love
please keep them safe and warm until next time our paths cross
cause everybody hurts sometimes
i know
