Separate 03:56
lyrics

Separate Separate What they see From your true headspace 'cause real life's not a weak man's game Separate Separate What you mean From all the words you say You can't help it when you're put in that place Where all the things that you believe seem bound to break And the ones you love can't even say it to their face Stuck in the middle of the wars we wage Celebrate Celebrate When you've made through a brand new day 'cause life's too beautiful to live in the fray Celebrate Celebrate A minute saved Not forced to mediate 'cause you can't change what you can't explain With voices coming out for me from every side I'm forced to stop this tide A family crumbling Crevices growing wide Separate Separate What they see From your true headspace 'cause real life's not a weak man's game Separate Separate What you mean From all the words you say You can't help it when you're put in that place Stuck in the middle

Roam The World 03:52
lyrics
buy track
You were meant to save my life But even if I die I'll roam the world with you I'm your shade, you'll be my shine And even if I die I'll roam the world with you But I'm still left running away 'cause getting what I want feels like I'm where I shouldn't be So I can't stop running away But even if I die I know I'm home with you Even if I die I'll roam the world with you My desperate lungs breathe in new life And I'm seeing all I've heard but never seen My battered mind's bare of bygone nights It's free to fill with all that's spry and new Now even if I die I'll roam the world with you

Again 04:49
lyrics
buy track
I feel it coming ’cause I know it always ends up like this I heed the running Here I am laughing, insane Is this really really happening again? Is this really really happening? I’ve sent my love to the gallows how many times? Is this really really happening again? It’s building up Yeah it’s building up again Excitement and plans Too soon too soon I’m afraid Never wanted permanence Just a day like any ‘cause everyone’s the same It’s all in the same game Your past never leaves you

Looking Back 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I saw a picture today I think you were in it But it's been so long It felt like the beginning We were young And hadn't flown away I tried to call you today To see how you're doing But now the pauses get longer The more that we're moving It's so hard Feeling foundations decay I'd like to say we've just lost our way but it might be more than that I don't know who you are anymore so I'll just look back When we used to check in Before we were aging I knew what you were thinking You'd finish what I was saying But no more When did it all go astray? Said we'd never be like them What we had was much different But what a cliche we are now So unintentionally distant Shouldn't have ended up like this But just know that I miss it So much I'd like to think that we're still high And we've just lost the buzz And if we all moved back home It could be just like it was But no matter how we try Things can never be the same again Now I hear that you're married I hear you've got a few kids And you've even got a house like the one we grew up in I'm so lost But look at all that we became

Waiting For The Sun 03:15
lyrics
buy track
People always get by Even if the path they're walking Is what's laid out in the sky Messages interpreted We can think we're directed one way Then find out it wasn't meant I'll take a day trip to my past life Looking for answers 'cause I want to see When I started living life in moments, not memories Love and stability Is what I've been waiting on And it comes with the weather Which I'll never understand Waiting for the sun is a waste of time 'cause today's heroics are tomorrow's crimes Afraid to see the writing on the walls we've made 'cause its not home if I hadn't wished I'd stayed Waiting for the sun is a waste of time 'cause today's truth's lost in tomorrow's lies Lost at sea We only think about the past because its easy The world thinks I'm ready
