Take me back to the day
when mommas voice woke me and sent me on my way
Cause oh these days, oh theses days (oh theses days)
my eyes open to silence
when i was a kid things didn't mean much
i live for the love of chelsea from the number six bus
I don’t dream of consistency
An average life means nothing to me
I head down West on 84
Hoping there could be something more
It just seems like you’re always in my way
My moneys gone but I still got a price to pay
Just tell me what I gotta do
To bring me back to my damn youth (what i gotta do)
I'm tired being told what i cant be wont be
I'm tired living up to expectations
I was brought up to be nervous and restless
I cant make any sense of this
I'm tired being told what i cant be wont be(I never did anyway)
I'm tired living up to expectations
I was brought up to be nervous and restless( i want to live in yesterday)
I can't make any sense of this
I'm tired being told what i cant be wont be(I never did anyway)
I'm tired living up to expectations
I was brought up to be nervous and restless (I want to live in yesterday)
I can't make any sense of this (Yesterday)
I don’t dream of consistency
An average life means nothing to me
I head down West on 84
Hoping there could be something more
It just seems like you’re always in my way
My moneys gone but I still got a price to pay
Just tell me what I gotta do
To bring me back to my damn youth (what i gotta do)
My damn youth
MY! DAMN! YOUTH!

Long Nights

I don’t know what I’m doing here
The walls cave in and are crushing me with all the words you say
I can’t keep coming back to this
It’s a place I’m learning not to miss
Blank faces, empty spaces
Get me the fuck away from this
So I sit with my head between my legs
Trying to forget the words you said
I keep hearing them, over and over again
I wish things would remain the same
but i know it’s not the case
I'll have to go on anyway
You always pretend like nothing happened
The coward in you has always shown
Let’s say I’m not surprised with, your decision or selfish actions
It will always haunt you in the end
The fact you never kept a promise you ever said
It shows the real you, the one I don’t wanna grow up into
So I sit with my head between my legs
Trying to forget the words you said
I keep hearing them, over and over again
I wish things would remain the same
but i know it’s not the case
I'll have to go on anyway
So I sit with my head between my legs
Wondering when this will ever end
I’ll spend these long nights in my room with my thoughts and a pen
But this ink will never change
The things inside my brain
I’ll have to go on anyways
So I sit with my head between my legs
Wondering when this will ever end
I’ll spend these long nights in my room with my thoughts and a pen
But this ink will never change
The things inside my brain
I’ll have to go on anyways

Walking home, the crisp in the air
Just like an oak, I feel the leaves tear off.
You are, the reason I can't go outside
If I told you I was comfortable, I would have lied
Ya, I would have lied
The storm starts coming in
The water rises with my temper
Oh it's over now
I said I wouldn't be here much longer
nothing but a shift in the sand
the pressure breaks me down
this time I know now
the breeze will carry me away this time for good
But There's too much to bear and burden
You start to see the power in the knife
you have gotten the best of me
that it paralyzes my thoughts and consumes my life
The rain keeps falling downward
I'm drowning in my sleep
Always trying to move forward, going nowhere
These secrets I cannot keep
Take away the burden
Take away the strife
Take away the sensation
Take away my, take away my life
Everything you ever said was a lie, its not like you know about compromise
cause every honest effort, has left me a contender, for seeking out to measure, just an ounce of pleasure.
I don't want to be one to just get by. An afterthought, some other guy
you were everything that i never needed
Take away the burden
Take away the strife
Take away the sensation
Take away my life
Everything you ever said was a lie
its not like you know about compromise
(Take away the burden)
cause every honest effort, has left me a contender, for seeking out to measure, just an ounce of pleasure.
(Take away the strife)
I dont want to be one to just get by. An afterthought, some other guy
(Take away the sensation)
you were everything that i never needed
(Take away my life)

“hey, how have you been” is what you said
it was raining on a Tuesday, my feet were wet
caught off guard my words they stumbled, i wont forget
I saw a ghost from a time that I’ll always, regret.
I see the things we used to do, when will I ever learn the truth
Its all controversy, i don’t expect you to
remember all the nights you fought with me,
with all of your hypocrisy
Im taking back all the time you stole from me
(2X)
we’ve made mistakes, I’m only human, you ramble on
I’ve heard it all before, Its like a radio marathon
I told myself i wouldn’t do this all again.
Now you want to come back, Don’t fucking come back
Its been silent in my head for the first time in weeks
and i never thought id say this, but i can finally, sleep
I’ve learned how to find my way without you
hey how have you been is what she said
i’m better off without you
you left me stranded here
facing my self in the mirror
a ship at sail i can’t steer
Blue sea takes me
I’m sorry dear
I'm growing up
just like you always told me too
“you’ll never make it
with that kind of attitude”
I was in too deep
I learned a lot
while the soil covered me
I was your marionette
strings attached
your grip was like cement
but then the tension snapped
free at last, why would I go back
why should i go back
I cant (I cant) I cant go back
I see the things we used to do, will I ever learn the truth
It's all controversy, i don’t expect you to
remember all the nights you fought with me,
with all of your hypocrisy
I'm taking back all the time you stole from me
(2X)
