Alone 04:13
You try to close your eyes but nothing seems to get better. You try to figure where everything fell apart. Try to close your eyes one last time, I promise you'll figure it out. I promise you things will begin to change, with a little closure and a light at the end of it all. You're not alone, trust me I would know. There's something telling me there's other people around. You're not alone, trust me I would know. Just open your eyes and maybe you'll see the same. You bottle everything, you say you're weak. But we all know that you're David in this story. Fight harder, many will support you. They'll fight along your side. You're not in an empty room, your mind is just playing games with you. You're not alone, trust me I would know. There's something telling me there's other people around. You're not alone, trust me I would know. Just open your eyes and maybe you'll see the same. Your thoughts scare you, trust me I know how you feel. My thoughts take control, they paint a picture of a demise, they paint a picture of a world without me. They paint a picture of a false reality that I've claimed my own. My thoughts tell me that no one will care even though theres a crowd ready to catch me when I fall. My thoughts put me in a panic as I freak out over nothing because my mind is saying there's something wrong. Thoughts are scary but trust me, everything will get better, you just have to wake up happy you're alive to see another day. You're not alone, trust me I would know. There's something telling me there's other people around. You're not alone, trust me I would know. Just open your eyes and maybe you'll see the same.

Where did we go? Away from here. Blacked out, I wish I knew my intentions. Where did we go? How did we get here? Please tell me we can get out of this. Please tell me we can get out of this. I only wish I could tell you what I was thinking. I only wish I could tell you what I was thinking. Somebody please shake me away please. I'm lost in my own reality. I haven't shaved in 17 days but that doesn't mean I'm wise. Because I don't know how to move forward, away of the nightmare that's in my head reminding me of what I did 17 days ago. Sometimes fairy tales never end the way you imagine. Sometimes they turn into a nightmare while your head implodes from the thoughts reminding you of the things you've done. I don't know why I keep pondering this idea of a lifestyle where I stick to one thought and continue to question what I did wrong. Maybe this is what's eating me inside. I'm consumed by own thoughts, slowly imploding, my intentions are not what they used to be. Trapped in my thoughts, replaying the reoccurring nightmare, finding clues within myself telling me where I fell from reality. I only wish I could tell you what I was thinking. I only wish I could tell you what I was thinking. Somebody please shake me away please. I'm lost in my own reality. I only wish I could tell you what I was thinking. I only wish I could tell you what I was thinking. Somebody please shake me away please. I'm lost in my own reality.

I'm taking over my mind, fighting back just get back to reality. Realize the world in the worn out eyes. Blind, I don't even know why I try I just end up fighting my mind again. A classic battle, mind against heart and who will win. It's l just repeating over and over and over and over and I never want it to end, it's the strangest thing I can ever face, fighting my own civil war. I guess it's my only source of entertainment. But it always comes back to haunt me, my mind takes control and tells me the worst happen when all I'm doing is sitting around. My mind is playing games on me. nothing has happened yet but I'm always afraid this will be the time that the worse will happen. Woah ah oh, we're running in cir-ah-cles! Over and over and I never want it to end, a repeating cycle I never want it to end. We're singing woah-ah-oh! We're running in cir-ah-cles! Over and over and I never want it to end, a repeating cycle I never want it to end. My mind takes over and I feel my breath grow shallow. I mean, I have a remedy for it, it's breathe in 2, 3, 4 and out 2, 3, 4and think of a place away from where I am, but that doesn't always work. When it doesn't, It brings me into a panic. It makes me shake to the point where I can't move. It makes me choke on nothing. I can't swallow, I can't breathe. I still don't know where this panic comes from, it just happens in a heartbeat and I'm gasping for air. Tell me I'm normal, tell me I'm sane. It's a state of mind I don't see myself getting out of anytime soon. Not now not then not ever, even if I get out of this panic my mind tells me "nope not this time", if I get out of this state of panic the walls begin to close again. My mind plays tricks on me every chance it gets, making me into a public fool as I run out of a room, just to hit me again running in circles. Woah ah oh, we're running in cir-ah-cles! Over and over and I never want it to end, a repeating cycle I never want it to end. We're singing woah-ah-oh! We're running in cir-ah-cles! Over and over and I never want it to end, a repeating cycle I never want it to end. Woah ah oh, we're running in cir-ah-cles! Over and over and I never want it to end, a repeating cycle I never want it to end. We're singing woah-ah-oh! We're running in cir-ah-cles! Over and over and I never want it to end, a repeating cycle I never want it to end.

Let Go 03:01
It all ended so soon. A simple reply and I felt myself fade away. I lost hope in this ever getting better, you were the one who helped me put my heart back together, well I guess it's appropriate for you to shatter the dreams that you once created. Remember the days when I was all alone and you grabbed my hand. Well my hand went cold and you thought it was time to let go. Let go, let go. I guess it was time to let go. Let go, let go. I guess it was time to let go, let go, let go. Time to let go. Remember the days when I was all alone and you grabbed my hand. Well my hand went cold and you thought it was time to let go. Let go, let go. I guess it was time to let go. Let go, let go. I guess it was time to let go, let go, let go.

If Only... 03:32
I knew the end was near. I thought I was prepared to say goodbye. It's hard to say goodbye to the rest of your life. If only there were a way that we could still stay alive. If only we could still lay down, and watch the stars at night. If only I was there with her, maybe things would be different. Maybe she'd be crying into my arms, instead of holding it in. If only, if only you could see the look in her eyes, on that cold November night, when she finally said goodbye. I should've seen it coming, I knew it all along, that someone would come in and take everything away from us. If only there were a way I would've just let it go. If only there was a way we could've avoided this all along. If only, if only you could see the look in her eyes, on that cold November night, when she finally said goodbye. I still hear her voice everywhere I go, her voice still haunts me as I drift off to sleep. If only I could see her light up when she smiles. If only I could see her light up when she smiles. If only...
