Mama Don't You Worry

Oh where did the time go I'm not ready for this
Thrown headfirst into a world that doesn't want me
It wasn't too long ago that I was free and careless
Now the ground that I stand on is crumbling
I've been losing sleep
Future looks so bleak
Got to keep my head above the water
I've been losing sleep
Future looks so bleak
Even if the ship sinks I'm treading water
I just don't think I'm ready for a real life
Can I please stay here for a few more years
I mean I'm sure that it's great to get out of this town
But I'm weighed down by indecision and fear
Why do you leave me feeling empty
Why do you leave me high and dry
Why do you leave me so frustrated
Why did you leave me at all
I've been losing sleep
Future looks so bleak
Got to keep my head above the water
I've been losing sleep
Future looks so bleak
Even if the ship sinks I'm treading water
Believe me I am sorry
If I had a choice I'd stay right here
But mama don't you worry
This is what I have to do, it's clear
Your words mean everything to me
But this is something I've got to do for myself
I was confused but now I see
I can't walk down the same path as everyone else
Who's gonna save me from my own demise
Can I be honest the world's full of lies
Who's gonna save me from my own demise
I'm doing this all on my own
Can I be honest the world's full of lies
And I've never felt so alone

Into the Unknown

Went down a winding road
Expecting yellow bricks but reality has made itself known
The wind made me grow cold
And discontent with that I call my home
I need some room to grow
This ain't the first time that I've been here
But hopefully it'll be the last
It's time to do or die
The pleasure's all mine now that it's crunch time
And time ain't on my side
I gotta see the light
Today I feel okay with throwing my whole life away
But I know I won't feel the same tomorrow
Some days I don't feel great but try and fake it anyway
I hope that I make it through tomorrow
I know that in the past I held myself back, no more
No one holds me down
I know you'll be the last to put faith in that for sure
I'm my own man now
One choice that's hard to make
Will I be the one who gives or the one who takes
I gotta do what's right
You won't be by my side but it'll be alright
It's time I bid you adieu
There's plenty more like you
Today I feel okay with throwing my whole life away
But I know I won't feel the same tomorrow
Some days I don't feel great but try and fake it anyway
I hope that I make it through tomorrow
Into the unknown

You got me down
So broken and destitute
You called me out
I was stuck either way
Told the truth
And now I know for certain that
The way I feel
You don't feel the same way
I guess I liked having a little shred of hope
The thought was nice
Unlikely it may be
Now I think if I walked life in different shoes
You'd be the one to fall in love with me
If there's a way please tell me
'Cause I'm trying to see
I can't wait for a sign
You'll always be the one the only
I'm begging you don't leave me lonely
I can't wait for a sign
You'll always be the one the only
I'm begging you let's leave this all behind
So now to see you showing off your new found self
All the while I grow ever insecure
It hurts me deep
But why should I feel anything but apathy
Your intentions were pure
And I guess I like how we pretend that I don't care
But you must know
I hide it terribly
Now I think if I walked life in different shoes
You'd be the one to fall in love with me
If there's a way please tell me
'Cause I'm trying to see
I can't wait for a sign
You'll always be the one the only
I'm begging you don't leave me lonely
I can't wait for a sign
You'll always be the one the only
I'm begging you let's leave this all behind
You took my best shot
Took it and you threw it away
I can't wait for a sign
You'll always be the one the only
I'm begging you don't leave me lonely
I can't wait for a sign
You'll always be the one the only
I'm begging you don't leave me lonely
You'll always be the one the only
But now I've gotta get you off my mind

Claustrophobic
05:57

Wandering down a spiral of myself
Notice all the imperfections
You've got yours
I've got mine
But sometimes they eclipse any value I once saw
Leaving no room to breathe under this mess
Seek comfort
Lock the doors
Seclusion
I feel a pressure build beneath my skin
Yet to subside
Claustrophobic
Walls are closing in
Nowhere to hide
I'm in the background just a passerby
So why is it I just can't play the part
Another animal that's born to die
And I call this home
I spend so much time trying to get far away from you
But it seems like wherever I went there's a way you knew
Repeating a lie doesn't inherently make it true
But I still waste the energy trying to fake it through
This whole illusion should be paper thin
But still I'm blind
Claustrophobic
Walls are closing in
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
I'm in the background just a passerby
So why is it I just can't play the part
Another animal that's born to die
And I call this home
Still, I've come so far
Yesterday's too late
So long, this is where I follow through
So long, this is where I go

Desire Paths

All I've ever wanted was to feel like I belonged
And knowing that
I set off on a path to change the world around me
So that I could live free of misery
Misery tonight
But misery's for life
When you're running away
Running away from all of the problems that you face
Running away
The more things change the more they stay the same
And I'm the one to blame
When how you view yourself is skewed by what you can't control
It's easy enough to think of ways that you could sell your soul
I'm taking steps but I still feel like I'm in the same place
Well I guess that's better than expecting things to change themselves
Misery's for life
When you're running away
Running away from all of the problems that you face
Running away
The vehicle is assembled
The runway has been cleared
The readings seem to be normal
The time is drawing near
I'm suiting up for the journey
'Cause it's a long way down
I need some fuel in the tank or this won't leave the ground
When all you want is to be free
Escape the hold of misery
All I want is to be free
All I want is to be free
The chains that keep you bound are all inside of your head
No one's gonna save you from your own demise

The Worst is Over
04:23

All you are is not all you are
Remember times when you were free from this burden you bear
You're more than some say
Believe me I care
When you feel hopeless keep in mind
The worst is over
This too will pass in time
In time
You've been through this before
I know that there's a war inside your head and all you want is a ceasefire
When all is said and done
Neither side has won
It seems your struggle was in vain
You're stronger from the pain
All you are is not all you are
Predicaments I find myself in
Every day is a new challenge
Find a new way
So what if I can't connect to the world of others
At least I have something I can call mine
All mine
You've been through this before
I know that there's a war inside your head and all you want is a ceasefire
When all is said and done
Neither side has won
It seems your struggle was in vain
You're stronger from the pain
