I don't wanna wake up lately The days are getting longer It feels just like I'm going through the motions And I don't know what's wrong with me I wanna try, I wanna care I wanna feel alive like I used to I wanna be someone, do something But it feels a little like sleepwalking I'm faded out I keep trying to stand, but I'm falling down I'm stuck inside a loop, why can't I shake it off? Is it not enough to wanna get better? I'm faded out And it's not getting better Give me something real to hold onto 'Cause I don't know what's real anymore I'm walking through the haze tryin' to find you The person that I was before I gave it all, and I found a hole That I didn't know was hiding Thought I knew who I was, looks like I was wrong And I've been out lost sleepwalking I'm faded out I keep trying to stand, but I'm falling down I'm stuck inside a loop, why can't I shake it off? Is it not enough to wanna get better? I'm faded out And it's not getting better I wanna find some piece of mind I need a lifeline, please somebody, please somebody I can't seem to wake up Something's gotta give before I give up I can't live like this I hate everything I feel 'cause I don't feel anything anymore And I don't know why I just wanna stop time to catch my breath I'm faded out I keep trying to stand, but I'm falling down I'm stuck inside a loop, why can't I shake it off? Is it not enough to wanna get better? I'm faded out And it's not getting better

I want to be like you Forget what I said to Somebody I used to know When I was someone they used to know I try to be honest To grow into someone I'm proud of But you make it so hard When all you do is pull me down If I could do it all over I wish I could take it, throw it away And start over If I could erase it If I could start over There's so many things that I'd change If I could start over There's so much inside me I hate The past's supposed to stay Why does it follow me? I can't outrun myself If I could start over I'm sick of everyone around me Acting like they can't see The elephant behind me I'm in a constant state of stress From the weight that's on my chest And I don't wanna pretend that I'm okay I've always been the kind to (Bury shit inside to) Let it rot and gradually consume me Let it build into a rage (That I take out in a way) That makes everyone I love fucking hate me If I could start over There's so many things that I'd change If I could start over There's so much inside me I hate The past's supposed to stay Why does it follow me? I can't outrun myself If I could start over Take it all back Let me erase me, erase me Take it all back I don't wanna see Take it all back Let me erase me, erase me Take it all back I don't wanna be this Let me erase me, erase me Take it all back I don't wanna be this! Erase me, erase me Take it all back If I could do it all over, over I wish I could take it, throw it away If I could start over, over If I could erase it I would erase it Yeah If I could start over There's so many things that I'd change If I could start over There's so much inside me I hate The past's supposed to stay Why does it follow me? I can't outrun myself If I could start over If I could start over

Smile, they always tell you to smile To appreciate the things you have But it doesn't change what's on your mind So you smile, but it's only on the outside So they can't see the pain that's overwhelming And eating you alive And it feels like you might have had enough Shut out the world and remind yourself If you could hold on, just for a little while You might just find it's not too much for you to make it through It's crazy how far you've come All you've done The life that you came from Take a step back and look at who you are You've made it this far Breathe, close your eyes and breathe I know, it feels like it's consuming And you're tired of this feeling And you try You try so damn hard Sometimes it feels like falling And you're just waiting for the ground When you lose faith in what you've been dreaming of Stay in that moment and tell yourself If you could hold on, just for a little while You might just find it's not too much for you to make it through It's crazy how far you've come All you've done The life that you came from Take a step back and look at who you are You've made it this far You're not the only one who feels like they're alone Against all the odds, you've made it this far You're not the only one who feels like they're alone Against all the odds and after all You've made it this far If you could hold on, just for a little while You might just find it's not too much for you to make it through It's crazy how far you've come All you've done The life that you came from Take a step back and look at who you are You've made it this far

I've never wanted to be What you want me to be It's like I've lost myself in finding my way I feel it creeping in Patience is wearing thin If I could help myself I would But there's a part of me that roams That belongs to the road and begs me to run To run away from the world To leave it all behind To strip it away and see what's on the inside So I'm facing my fears And taking my time To strip it away and see what's on the inside I've always tried to be What you needed from me And along the way forgot who I am I'm sorry for getting cold And for pushing you away It just feels like I'm falling and nobody's there But there's a part of me that roams That belongs to the road and begs me to run To run away from the world To leave it all behind To strip it away and see what's on the inside So I'm facing my fears And taking my time To strip it away and see what's on the inside To run away from the world (Run away from the world) To close my eyes and leap To take the road less travelled to the unknown To take the long way home (Long way home) And be wrong sometimes To be like the wind and find out what's on the inside Run away from the world (Run away from the world) And leave it all behind (Leave it all behind) Strip it away and see what's on the inside Run, run away from the world And leave it all behind Strip it away and see what's on the inside So I'm facing my fears And taking my time To strip it away and see what's on the inside (Run away from the world) Run away from the world (Run away from the world) Leave it all behind (Run away from the world) Run away from the world (Run away from the world) Leave it all behind

Slamming doors, spitting venom It's hard to envision this house without paranoia All our actions and words that we do just to hurt Because misery, misery loves company So you blame someone else So you don't have to blame yourself It doesn't have to be like this What we stand here to stand for To make a better day out of the bed you made What we came here to fight for Is it a lot to ask to let go of the past? Hearts don't have to break in our home In our home, in our home Hеarts don't have to break in our home In our homе, in our home Tempers rise, all the screaming I can't comprehend where I stand It's like navigating hypocritical moving of lines That you've drawn in your mind I wish I knew what was going on But your past is still haunting you I can't control it but it doesn't have to be like this What we stand here to stand for To make a better day out of the bed you made What we came here to fight for Is it a lot to ask to let go of the past? Hearts don't have to break in our home In our home, in our home Hearts don't have to break in our home In our home, in our home I held you too close to see through you I want to unhurt you I need to unlove you to love you What we stand here to stand for To make a better day out of the bed you made What we came here to fight for Is it a lot to ask to let go of the past? Hearts don't have to break in our home In our home, in our home Hearts don't have to break in our home In our home, in our home I held you too close to see through you I want to unhurt you I need to unlove you to love you

The come down is killing me The slow fade, the fast release I know I can't keep this up forever The light burns, please close the shades I'm alright, I can numb the pain I don't want to see the world today I don't want this I can't get out Self loathing's overwhelming Lay me down And lead me into the grey Don't make a sound Just leave me alone in the dark Is aching, my vision's blurred I'm lonely, it's what I deserve How long can I keep this up? The silence is deafening The demons I'm harboring Are screaming and I can't pull away I don't want this I can't get out Self loathing's overwhelming Lay me down And lead me into the grey Don't make a sound Just leave me alone in the dark Lead me into the grey I don't want this I can't get out Self loathing's overwhelming Lay me down And lead me into the grey Don't make a sound Just leave me alone in the dark Leave me alone in the dark Leave me alone in the dark
