Does anybody even care? Is anybody listening to me? I'm lying here invisible Feeling all your empty stares through me I'm begging for a better way Don't know how much more of this I can take 'Cause anger's so much easier Than fixing everything I can't face I'm stuck inside the madness, I know you've felt this But I know we'll make it out somehow It's like a war from within just to let go Killing ourselves to cope Inside the sadness, sometimes it traps us And we think we're better off alone It's like a war from within just to let go Killing ourselves to cope I feel it every time I breathe Another cure that doesn't work for me Darkness and anxiety Seem to be the only friends I see I'm praying for a better day But reality takes its place And will I ever be enough? Will I ever be enough for me? I'm stuck inside the madness, I know you've felt this But I know we'll make it out somehow It's like a war from within just to let go Killing ourselves to cope Inside the sadness, sometimes it traps us And we think we're better off alone It's like a war from within just to let go Killing ourselves to cope I know you're gonna take a shot at my heart What you didn't know is I can see in the dark I learned to adapt to the world that I see I learned not to trust anybody but me But me I know you're gonna take a shot at my heart But what you didn't know is I can see in the dark I learned to adapt to the world that I see Learned not to trust anybody but me I'm stuck inside, I'm stuck inside I'm stuck inside the madness, I know you've felt this But I know we'll make it out somehow It's like a war from within just to let go Killing ourselves to cope Inside the sadness, sometimes it traps us And we think we're better off alone It's like a war from within just to let go Killing ourselves to cope We're killing ourselves Killing ourselves to cope

Stuck in a bottle, think I need that Tears in my eyes, can't go back Tunnel vision, now all hope is missin' Thinking that I made the right decision Then two turned to four, now I've lost track Memories flooded as it goes black Mistakes that I've made just attack, attack When you're this lost, most don't come back Too close with no chance to let you know So tell me was it worth it? Even if you're hurting? I'd given in to all my darkest doubts Like there was no way out Tell me was it worth it? Maybe I deserve this? I'd given in to all my darkest doubts Like there was no way out Tell my family I love them, I'm sorry Tell my friends it's okay if they hate me Tried so hard, came up empty Forgive and forget isn't like me I never learned how I need to let go It's all too much so I swallowed the pain away I couldn't stay Too close with no chance to let you know So tell me was it worth it? (Worth it) Even if you're hurting? (Deserve this) I'd given in to all my darkest doubts Like there was no way out Tell me was it worth it? (Worth it) Maybe I deserve this? (Deserve this) I'd given in to all my darkest doubts Like there was no way out I ran away, I ran away Lied to myself, said it was okay I hid the pain thinking it'd go away Couldn't escape, I found another way I ran away, I ran away Trying to feel something (Ooh-ooh) (Oh-oh) So tell me was it worth it? Even if you're hurting? I'd given in to all my darkest doubts Like there was no way out So tell me was it worth it? (Worth it) Even if you're hurting (Deserve this) I'd given in to all my darkest doubts Like there was no way out Tell me was it worth it? (Worth it) Maybe I deserve this (Deserve this) I'd given in to all my darkest doubts Like there was no way out No way out No way out

If you're searching for glory, this isn't it Searching for something good within There's something we lack, it tears us apart And says we can't be different It's harder to see, they want us to fail Derailed for their amusement But you'll learn to escape You're not bound to your fate Create a better way So now it's your turn Light the fire that burns in all of us If you're searching for glory, this isn't it Searching for something good within It's hard to be patient if you can't win When the torture never ends You're searching for glory I'd die to find it I can relate, I've used all my pain To try and make a difference I've wasted my time, devalued my life And battled with my conscience So now it's my turn I'll light the fire that burns in all of us If you're searching for glory, this isn't it Searching for something good within It's hard to be patient if you can't win When the torture never ends You're searching for glory I'd die to find it (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Some people wish they were someone else (Oh-oh, oh-oh) It's not worth it if you lose yourself Oh-oh, I guess I'm asking for help (Would you die to find it?) (Would you die?) If you're searching for glory, this isn't it Searching for something good within It's hard to be patient if you can't win When the torture never ends If you're searching for glory, this isn't it Searching for something good within It's hard to be patient if you can't win When the torture never ends You're searching for glory I'd die to find it

I feel like you drift, then you disappear Every time that I ask about your fears And I need to know, how long will this last? I've spent too many nights haunted by the past It's hard to watch as you disappear You live like a ghost, but you're still here Say, "I love you the most," but you can't hear And when we die, it's you and I Maybe we'll finally make things right 'Cause I love you the most, but you can't feel You can't feel Oh, oh-oh I'm lost in a haze and it's unclear If we'll survive another year Am I on my own? I'm fucking lonely Every day feels like the same old story It's hard to watch as you disappear You live like a ghost, but you're still here Say, "I love you the most," but you can't hear And when we die, it's you and I Maybe we'll finally make things right 'Cause I love you the most, but you can't feel You can't feel (Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh) (Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh) I think I know what's happening (Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Never saw the light coming in (Oh) Can't go on, it's maddening (Ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh) You'll always be my home (Oh) You live like a ghost, but you're still here Say, "I love you the most," but you can't hear And when we die, it's you and I Maybe we'll finally make things right 'Cause I love you the most, but you can't feel You can't feel

She told me that I'd never find someone better 'Til I severed everything she planted in my head The further and further I distance myself Can't help but see that I'd be better off dead I can't get enough She's wrapped around my neck Thought I had it all But now I feel sickened I feel sickened And I bet you thought you had me Almost got your wish Thought you'd break me Almost got your wish I never wanted, I never wanted this You'll be the last one, the last one that I'd miss Thought you had me I'm your greatest almost Isn't it funny how you told me everything That I wanted to hear? Too bad it was all for show So now I see that you're miserable Sad you made it so difficult And now you've lost control I can't get enough She's wrapped around my neck Thought I had it all But now I feel sickened I feel sickened And I bet you thought you had me Almost got your wish Thought you'd break me Almost got your wish I never wanted, I never wanted this You'll be the last one, the last one that I'd miss Thought you had me I'm your greatest almost And all the time that I wasted Feels so long ago I'm so glad that I faced it Lesson learned, wouldn't change it Sometimes our hearts get the best of us Sometimes we chase the lust And it gets the best of us Thought you had me Almost got your wish Thought you'd break me Thought you had me Almost got your wish Thought you'd break me Almost got your wish I never wanted, I never wanted this You'll be the last one, the last one that I'd miss Thought you had me I'm your greatest almost I'm your greatest almost I'm your—

Thank you for being everything I hated For being everything I’m not For never believing in me For never telling the truth Thank you! Come clean, you know exactly what I mean You know exactly what you did And I’m better for it I bet you think that I forgave you You’ll find out I fucking made you There’s no one left to save you Thank you, thank you Thank you I’ll never take this for granted, thank you I’ll remember this when you fall And when they’re calling out my name I hope it’s driving you insane ‘Cause when I needed you the most You chose to turn and walk away Thank you! Don’t leave, this is the closure that I need You’re like a cut that wouldn’t bleed Thought everything you stole and I bet you wish that I'll just give up I’m never giving up, I’m never letting up There’s no one left to save you Thank you, thank you Thank you I’ll never take this for granted, thank you I’ll remember this when you fall And when they’re calling out my name I hope it’s driving you insane ‘Cause when I needed you the most You chose to turn and walk away Thank you!

If I stopped to think about you in another life, another life I’d remember how things turned out, and then I’d be alright, I’d be alright Doesn’t make it okay, you won’t go away And I’m afraid that I’m not better What do you want me to say? You got the best of me And I’m afraid that I’m just bitter Brought out the worst in me The death of me was hidden in love for you I’ve tried to speak, what am I supposed to do? So I replied, “I’m just fine” Must’ve told a million lies The death of me was hidden in love for you Every once in a while, I forget who I really am, who I really am And it’s up to me to show them I’m a better man, a better man I know I’ve made mistakes, and I’ve thrown away too many years, but I am better I had to learn from pain and then run away from the one who made me bitter The death of me was hidden in love for you I’ve tried to speak, what am I supposed to do? So I replied, “I’m just fine” Must’ve told a million lies The death of me was hidden in love for you The death of me, the death of me The death of me The death of me, the death of me The death of me was hidden in love for you I’ve tried to speak, what am I supposed to do? So I replied, “I’m just fine” Must’ve told a million lies The death of me was hidden in love for you

You left us with so many questions A tragic lesson we didn’t wanna learn Left us with all of these voices inside our heads A pain we didn’t earn Where did you go and do you know how much you are missed? Where did you go and do you know how much you are missed? There are things that death can’t touch You’re alive in us Wasn’t ready, can you hear me? Will we ever meet again? When you left us, had me fucked up Can we learn to live with it? We’re trying our hardest but the saddest part is how much you are loved You’d be so damn proud of your brothers for being strong and holding on Why did you go? I hope you know how much you are missed Wherever you go, I hope you know you made a difference There are things that death can’t touch You’re alive in us Wasn’t ready, can you hear me? Will we ever meet again? When you left us, had me fucked up Can we learn to live with it? We’re holding on to your memory Your heart it lives on in our memories I promise that you won’t be forgotten You won’t be replaced So don’t be afraid of the unknown We’ll keep your memory safe We’re holding on to your memory Your heart it lives on in our memories Wasn’t ready, can you hear me? Will we ever meet again? When you left us, had me fucked up Can we learn to live with it? We’re holding on to your memory Your heart it lives on in our memories

I'll try to explain this You'll understand if you're chasing greatness The heartache, the mistakes Are a part of what it takes to make it I know you wanna play the part No giving up when it gets hard And so I'll be the one to show you That pain defines you The pain defines you The river's flowing over me I feel the current underneath So why do I feel safe When there's no escaping? Your silence is deafening When help is all I need Why do I feel safe? 'Cause it's the only way You want it, I've got it Even though they tried to leave me heartless Misguided, it's said that You found yourself alone inside the darkness It's hard to leave the ones you love But it's a part of growing up And so I'll be the one to show you That pain defines you The pain defines you The river's flowing over me I feel the current underneath So why do I feel safe When there's no escaping? Your silence is deafening When help is all I need Why do I feel safe? 'Cause it's the only way I wanted to be someone who'd never let you down (let you down) But it's better to try and fail than never try at all The river's flowing over me I feel the current underneath So why do I feel safe When there's no escaping? The river's flowing over me I feel the current underneath So why do I feel safe When there's no escaping? Your silence is deafening When help is all I need Why do I feel safe? 'Cause it's the only way 'Cause it's the only way (it's the only way) It's the only way When there's no escaping

I'm the one to blame (I'm sorry you're sorry now) All I feel is shame (I'm sorry you're sorry now) Wish I could turn back time, I’d block out all those friends of mine That got inside my head Instead I’m laying here regretting how I made you feel With all the words I said But it feels like too little too late Maybe I deserve to feel this way Yeah I know it’s a little too late You don’t deserve to feel this way The only thing you said… “I’m sorry you’re sorry now” I’m the one to blame (I’m sorry you’re sorry now) All I feel is shame (I’m sorry you’re sorry now) Everything I want, everything I need Rebuild all of me If you could understand I was a broken man Rebuild all of me You’re feelin justified and deep inside I know you’re right How did I end up here? ‘Cause now I’m questioning, clearly something’s missing from What I see in the mirror But it feels like too little too late Maybe I deserve to feel this way Yeah I know it’s a little too late You don’t deserve to feel this way I’m the one to blame (I’m sorry you’re sorry now) All I feel is shame (I’m sorry you’re sorry now) Everything I want, everything I need Rebuild all of me If you could understand I was a broken man Rebuild all of me I’m the one to blame (I’m sorry you’re sorry now) All I feel is shame (I’m sorry you’re sorry now) Everything I want, everything I need Rebuild all of me If you could understand I was a broken man Rebuild all of me Everything I want, everything I need Rebuild all of me If you could understand I was a broken man Rebuild all of me

Awaken me Recovery Can’t seem to find any peace of mind Thoughts echoing in my head Your memory is deafening when you’re not in my bed ‘Cause every time I think about you’s like a black cloud I’m blacking out again You never told me that it’d be like this, it’s too hard to forgive Awaken me, recovery I never knew that without you I’d lose the strength I needed Now that you’re gone, I can’t move on It’s like you’re haunting me ‘Cause every time I think about you’s like a black cloud I’m blacking out again You never told me that it’d be like this, it’s too hard to forgive Awaken me, recovery Ever since you’ve been gone, feels like I’ve been deceived Emptiness, won’t you leave Awaken, awaken me I used to think that I deserved so much better Used to think I was so god damn clever I’m always learning the hard way I need to learn so that you’ll stay Stay with me I know I’m a mess, fuck I’m a mess And I think that I deserve this If I must confess, be my witness Be my witness Awaken me, recovery Ever since you’ve been gone, feels like I’ve been deceived Emptiness, won’t you leave Awaken, awaken me
