Everything is a distraction nothing is real You can't trust anyone not yourself There's so much possibility I could be anyone So how did I end up like this? I could be anyone I'm just one of the crazies and I won't be changing Cause everything about this world is crazy and I can't see it changing We can't control ourselves We can't pack it all into a shelf So we set ourselves on fire Cause the world is already on fire I'm living in a memory Everything's fading The world's in black and white And grey's dominating Scorching fire and freezing smoke All this pressure is making me choke I would't wish this on anyone but I don't wanna be the only one Why do I have to feel this way? Why can't I just heal today? Everything about this world is crazy and I can't see it changing They promised me I wouldn't stay but nothing is changing I can't control myself I can't pack it all into a shelf I wanna set the world on fire I wanna set it all on fire I'm just one of the crazies and I won't be changing Cause everything about this world is crazy and I can't see it changing I can't control myself I can't pack it all into a shelf I wanna set the world on fire But the world is already on fire

It's my own kind that keeps me up at night I know it's not my fight but it's a habit of mine I want you to see the light I want you to feel the warmth I want you to feel alive I don't want you to think my thoughts You're all over the place Scattered at best But you're such a beautiful mess Yeah, all over the place Scattered at best But you're such a beautiful mess I want to protect you to take you under my wing But I'm not supposed to they said it's a bad thing Maybe they're right I feel like I'm bout to burst But as long as you're alright does it matter I'm getting worse? You're all over the place Scattered at best But you're such a beautiful mess Yeah, all over the place Scattered at best But you're such a beautiful mess If they can't be the best they'll be the best at being the worst I don't wanna get sucked in I'll just get more people hurt It's like a disease it spreads and it grows So don't listen to me if I start to let it show You're all over the place Scattered at best You're beautiful but you're a mess Yeah, all over the place Scattered at best I'm trying to clean up your mess Im so sorry I've tried my best But I can't clean up your mess I can't clean up your mess I can't clean up your mess I can't clean up your mess I can't clean up your mess

I don't wanna keep you I wanna let you go I don't wanna need you I want you to let me go But who is me? Who would I be? When I live instead of existing I don't wanna cry I don't wanna want to die I don't wanna have to try just do survive I don't want I don't want I don't want What do I want? What do I want? What do I want? I don't want I don't want I don't want What do I want? What do I want? What do I want? I'm with all these strangers who aren't really strangers They know what's happening I'm with all the strangers who aren't really strangers I know that you know me So let's just go, let's just leave, let's just find where we're meant to be So let's just go, let's just leave, let's just find where we're meant to be So let's just go, let's just leave, let's just find where we're meant to be So let's just go, let's just leave, let's just find where we're meant to be Can you help? Can you help? Can you help me? Can you help? Can you help? Can you help me? Somebody help Somebody help Somebody help me Somebody help Somebody help Somebody help me Please just help Please just help Please just help me Why won't you help? Why won't you help? Why won't you help me? Please just help Please just help Please just help me Why won't you help? Why won't you help? Why won't you help me? Can you help? Can you help? Can you help me? Can you help? Can you help? Can you help me?

The Cow Town 05:03
Dirt roads that seem to stretch for infinity Towering trees topped by the greenest leaves A small town near beaches of the prettiest blue A small house where you can forget everything you've been through I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place Listen to the birds sing while you run through the trees Up on the roof you'll find a cheap footy Count the cows and try to feed them grass Hide in the fort and forget your past I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place Look at the sky Golf balls in the lake This has to be fake Look at the flowers Look at the trees It's so hard to believe And for the first time in a long time I felt truly free And for the first time in a long time I felt truly happy So I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place I don't wanna go I don't wanna leave This beautiful place

Run away and find a place where the trees will hide your eyes In the sea, that's where you'll find me where the water all mixes together In the sky, with birds we'll fly and our tears will be one with the rain Everyone put on your armour No one should have to fight alone It takes more than one soldier to defend a broken home You only care when the throne falls down But I would defend anyone even without a crown It's comforting that they've seen me at my worst but to them it's ok If we cry, if we're not gonna die We'll do it together and together we'll sing Everyone put on your armour No one should have to fight alone It takes more than one soldier to defend a broken home You only care when the throne falls down But I would defend anyone even without a crown Everyone put on your armour No one should have to fight alone It takes more than one soldier to defend a broken home You only care when the throne falls down But I would defend anyone even without a crown

Way Out 04:27
Crashing, fall down I can't hear a sound There's no one around There's no help So deeper I fell Smoke in my lungs Fire on my tongue How am I supposed to sing? Everything's burning The burning grows higher A lightless fire Would I die to make it stop? Is there another way out? I try to sing Now there's less burning I'm still no where near room temp But for now I'll be content

Imagine not being able to fly Imagine being limited by the sky Sadness you wouldn't want to imagine Their universe was just a fraction Death and disease pain and suffering They begged for this They begged not to feel But if we don't then what are we Are we humans or machines Am I real? What is real? I don't feel like they felt Am I human? What is human? I don't think I am It's not a life it's just a game But it's our fault we're the ones to blame We're even part machines We have computer with personalities So what's the difference between them and me Without their sadness We don't have their joy Without their madness We don't have their hope Am I real? What is real? I don't feel like they felt Am I human? What is human? I don't think I am We've made it to space We've conquered death and hate It's perfect we can't complain But having perfection Takes away purpose Taking away fear Takes away beauty We've taken away beauty Am I real? What is real? I don't feel like they felt Am I human? What is human? I don't think I am We're not human We'll never feel what they felt We're not human We're the ghost of what they were

Get Me Out 04:15
Something's wrong but I don't understand I'm forgetting something I need a hand Disconnected I'm floating past I can't hear or see right I'm fading fast I need someone to hold me Someone to understand Cause if I'm feeling lonely I'll get lost and I won't come back Get me out of my head I've been shutting down Get me out of my head Filled with confusion and doubt Floating in a sea of black and white It's so blurry and it's too bright Crawl into a ball and hide Block your ears and close your eyes I need someone to hold me Someone to understand Cause if I'm feeling lonely I'll get lost and I won't come back Get me out of my head I've been shutting down Get me out of my head Filled with confusion and doubt

I can't do this on my own Don't leave me alone I'm running out of time To make my life mine I'm losing strength I'm about to break It's only a matter of when How much time will it take? There's clouds all around I can't see the ground I'm lost at sea I can't breathe It's such a foggy day I can't find my way If the sun did rise Would I believe my eyes? Wheres the emergency exit? I can't take it What's happened to this world? Has anybody heard? What's the matter with me? What do other people see? I can't do this on my own Don't leave me alone Don't leave me alone Don't leave me alone DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE Don't leave me alone

The Dark 05:53
In the dark I found, in the dark I found you I guess I should thank, I guess I should thank you Cause I might not have seen, I might not have seen the day But you almost made me, almost made me miss it anyway How ironic that my armour became the thing I had to fight How ironic my safety net was stopping me from living my life You were my breaking point You were my breaking point In the dark you caught, in the dark you caught me I ran out of strength, I ran out of energy Inevitably, I let you take over me Cause I was not enough, and with you I'd never be How ironic that my armour became the thing I had to fight How ironic my safety net was stopping me from living my life You were my breaking point You were my breaking point In the dark I searched, I was searching for anything In the dark I found, in the dark I found you In the dark you found, in the dark you found me I wanted to be found, by you or by anybody How ironic that my armour became the thing I had to fight How ironic my safety net was stopping me from living my life You were my breaking point You were my breaking point
