Itʼs 11:30 at night
Iʼm coming to pick you up
Tired of the way thingʼs been
Feeling alone
This airʼs so frigid that I
Could easily see my breath
But these thoughts are at unrest
Please melt the ice
I wanted to let you know
I feel the pull Iʼm hypnotized
Been longing to drift afloat
Ocean eyes
No I donʼt believe you
I canʼt accept it when you say
That we should carry on, our song
Remember that Friday night
When we were skipping stones
You whispered in my ear “Letʼs grow old”
Your coats still in my backseat
Constantly reminds me
Giving off a faint trace of perfume
It brings me back to better days
I wanted to let you know
I feel the pull, Iʼm hypnotized
Been longing to drift afloat
Ocean eyes
No I donʼt believe you
I canʼt accept it when you say
That we should carry on
Our song, Itʼs getting old
I wanted to let you know
I feel the pull Iʼm hypnotized
Been longing to drift afloat
Ocean eyes
No I donʼt believe you
I canʼt accept it When you say
That we should carry on, our song
Itʼs 11:30 at night
Iʼm coming to pick you up
Tired of the way itʼs been
Feeling alone

An introvert stuck walking on a fence
These puppeteers pull my strings of innocence
Once again have my throat up against the sword
Frozen intellect whereʼs my vocal chords?
Iʼm done
Everything, I gave them anything
My personality gave advantages
Everything, I gave them anything
My personality gave advantages
There you are my old fair-weather friends
Cross my fingers for karma in the end
You cast the curse of shivers down my spine
But your sinister and evil eye mapped out my design
Iʼm done
Everything, I gave them anything
My personality gave advantages
Everything, I gave them anything
My personality gave advantages
I've seen it all before
Selfish, always wanting more
I've seen this all before
I've seen it
I've seen it all before
I've seen it, I've seen it
I've seen this all before
I've seen it, I've seen it
I've seen it all before
I've seen it, I've seen it
I've seen this all before
I've seen it, I've seen it
Everything, I gave them anything
My personality gave advantages
Everything, I gave them anything
My personality gave advantages
I've seen it all before
I've seen it, I've seen it
I've seen this all before
I've seen it, I've seen it
I've seen it all before
I've seen it, I've seen it
I've seen this all before
I've seen it, I've seen it

Stare at the rain
Dripping down this dirty window pane
When you want to throw your body against
The floor just canʼt take this anymore
Going insane
Donʼt stop searching for the truth
So the worst wonʼt follow through
It took a lot out of me just to admit I was down
And going nowhere bound
Need to take a shot at life and embrace
The brighter side
When they ask “Oh why me?”
Just wanna see things clearly
Even with the demons screaming
In your head you must step back
from the ledge and stand your ground
Donʼt stop searching for the truth
So the worst wonʼt follow through
It took a lot out of me just to admit I was down
And going nowhere bound
Need to take a shot at life and embrace
The brighter side
Even through the constant fears
And unwanted tears
I just want to tell you that
Youʼre not alone
Even if the reaperʼs cry
Leaves you paralyzed
Just a figment of your mind
Youʼre not alone X2
Donʼt stop searching for the truth
So the worst wonʼt follow through
It took a lot out of me just to admit I was down
And going nowhere bound
Need to take a shot at life and embrace
The brighter side

Fool's Gold

Just another day late and a dollar short
Spent it all on shit of some sort
Another void
To fill the void
Wonʼt last forever
Forever
Now I feel
That chasing this short lived high
Is a cycle that never ends
Objectified
Over priced designer brands
To fuel the fire
But satisfaction brings
The death of desire
The rise and fall
Endless withdrawals
Wonʼt last forever
Forever
Now I feel
That chasing this short lived high
A cycle that never ends
Objectified
All this time spent wasting my money
Thereʼs not much left to burn
Dug this hole and now Iʼm sorry
I got nowhere to turn x2
Wonʼt last forever
Forever
Now I feel
That chasing this short lived high
Is a cycle that never ends
Objectified

On the darkest days
You light the way
At the lowest lows
You always show
Every word you speak is tried and true
Iʼm glad to put my trust in you
Youʼre not like the rest and thatʼs
No bluff I found a diamond in the rough
You picked me up when I was down
And keep me sane when overwhelmed
You picked me up when I was down
Shining brightly
You take the my pain straight away
And you could be my savior
And I canʼt wait another day
Without the privilege of seeing your smile
And I cannot fight and I wonʼt deny it
That youʼre the flame that I lack
Like a wildfire that wonʼt expire
Ignites the courage that I lack
Iʼm left on course
Cause you believe
Left the precipice
No more misery
My vile heart you killed the weeds
and blossomed out an evergreen
And what I thought was in a dream
Transformed into reality
You picked me up when I was down
And keep me sane when overwhelmed
You picked me up when I was down
Shining brightly
You take the my pain straight away
And you could be my savior
And I canʼt wait another day
Without the privilege of seeing your smile
And I cannot fight and I wonʼt deny it
That youʼre the flame that I lack
Like a wildfire that wonʼt expire
Ignites the courage that I lack
And you always give with no
return and I will always need you so
and you always give with no
return and I wonʼt let go
You take the my pain straight away
And you could be my savior
And I canʼt wait another day
Without the privilege of seeing your smile
And I cannot fight and I wonʼt deny it
That youʼre the flame that I lack
Like a wildfire that wonʼt expire
Ignites the courage that I lack
