well I found my own escape and it's far away vicariously living through the pictures in my head and I broke every promise, now I'm waking up to greater losses well they still maintain that they're in control but who knows just how far that'll really go we had our minds in the gutter, now our limbs are in the trenches but it's the pride we felt, that no one ever mentions so we seek your help, no we need your help so we can go, so we can go all night oh we seek your help, no we need your help so we can know it all when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home

stop if the eagle sees you start up again when he flies by stop if the shakes just won't or if resentment overflows I never really had a reason, I never really thought it out I never really planned on leaving, I sure ain't quitting now stop if the eagle sees you start up again when he flies by stop if the shakes just won't or if resentment overflows into those greater lakes, born from your bathroom sink down through the pipes and out the streams where all those fears can meet well I'm bussing through my life yet again clearing plates full of people's problems, wearing down with every solved one and all the windex in the world couldn't scrub these tables clean or finally set me free, or finally set me free and all these plans of keeping my cards and hand a secret they've all been compromised, your eyes they're so deceiving so I hold my head up higher, so I play with a different driver held out for the bigger prize, turns out I'm a damn good liar stop if the eagle sees you start up again when he flies by stop if the shakes just won't or if resentment overflows into those greater lakes, born from your bathroom sink down through the pipes and out the streams where all those fears can meet well I'm bussing through my life yet again clearing plates full of people's problems, wearing down with every solved one and all the windex in the world couldn't scrub these tables clean or finally set me free, or finally set me free

I never thought I'd feel at such a standstill
 I kind of miss when we were heading downhill
 it makes some sense but I just never guessed 
my voice is playing in my head now
 we never really get along
 he's always pointing out what's wrong as if I didn't know as if I didn't know we break down at the first sight of day it doesn't have to feel, it doesn't have to feel so strange so slowly taking over
my body's run down I'm an old soul at heart and I can't hear a thing when the siren's pass and I go deaf 
let's make this silence last forever
when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate
 who's right, who's wrong, does it matter in the end? when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate I never thought I'd find you on the other side 
we always spoke like we were running out of time 
I guess it seems that's all we ever really had together we took our tests at the same time 
neither tried and neither of us passed
 we met disappointed looks as if we couldn't tell
as if we couldn't tell we break down at the first sight of day it doesn't have to feel, it doesn't have to feel so strange so slowly taking over
 my body's run down I'm an old soul at heart and I can't hear a thing when the siren's pass and I go deaf 
let's make this silence last forever 
when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate
 who's right, who's wrong, does it matter in the end? when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate 
I know it's right 'cause I'm spending too much time working like a lawyer to convince myself it's fine 
I'll never feel it when I'm absolved of all my sins by the self appointed king of guilty men

I'd give it all away if I had the time to sell 
I'm just a broken stranger searching for a way out of this war but every exit's blocked and all the sky's lit up 
foundations tremble as more forces approach 
but I don't know if I can say anymore 
without risking all the reasons we invaded the fort 
I protested loud, right from the start 
but there's nothing left to salvage at this point the city burnt down, the people moved on and I found hope 
I can't recall the last time I felt so afloat 
the river caught fire, we all found shelter and peace
 in the idea that there's somewhere to make homes for ourselves oh wake me up if I've done something else wrong again but I'm feeling fine and I'd just like to ride it out 
oh wake me up if I've done something else wrong again but I'm coasting higher than I have for a while I'm writing home again 
letters to all my family and friends
 but say what are the odds it gets through uncensored? 
I gathered all of my thoughts to lay out and ignore 
all the hatred I store that seems designed to destroy myself the city burnt down, the people moved on and I found hope 
I can't recall the last time I felt so afloat 
the river caught fire, we all found shelter and peace 
in the idea that there's somewhere to make homes for ourselves oh wake me up if I've done something else wrong again but I'm feeling fine and I'd just like to ride it out
 oh wake me up if I've done something else wrong again but I'm coasting higher than I have for a while oh wake me up if I've done something else wrong again but I'm feeling fine and I'd just like to ride it out 
oh wake me up if I've done something else wrong again but I'm coasting higher than I have for a while I'd like to share what I found with all of you I'm coasting higher than I have for a while

I feel alive when I wanna be a part of the shining sea I'm worn out when I arrive, I'm tired all the time I'm living like a ghost I'll make the most of the strength you give to me I'm aligned with every current I'm a storm I'll never pass I'm a short fuse ready to blow but when it really matters I find friends right by my side sweet home, I've arrived I'm fed, washed and satisfied last night I dreamed for the first time since I can remember heard someone call my name but I guess I'm hearing things I'll hold my tongue until I die I'm aligned with every current I'm a storm I'll never pass I'm a short fuse ready to blow but when it really matters I find friends right by my side sweet home, I've arrived you said life goes on forever and you're freaking me out day in, day out I live in hell medals and glory can't save myself from myself I've had enough, I've had enough I've had enough, I've had enough I've had enough of my breaking down like a beggar in the streets is it sad enough you can laugh it off? not really, I'm just tired, wired and find I've had enough of feeling so strange of fighting myself every day but when it really matters I find friends right by my side sweet home I've arrived

So you're tired of fucking up?
 brother I can relate I've been searching now through half-open eyes and I've got nothing to say 
I've got nothing so would you speak up now? it's always awkward as hell
 I wish I knew how 
I wish I knew how would someone let the shepherd know? 
he's been losing his sheep but he's too blind to realize don't underestimate me, I'm nothing less than crazy I'll find my own way out

We start over every day it seems
 we never get it right but we're living in our dreams and I fell apart in the dead of the night
 so I'll sleep today we all pile in to the streets and subways 
it set ideas ablaze that burnt to a crisp
 when you give up all your hope you'll find
 you've got nothing left to live for but wear it like a badge wherever we are we'll struggle together if we falter at all
 and I could retrace all my steps but it just wouldn't feel the same so I'll have to trust that I'm meant for this game I keep passing out with thoughts of worry 
and I've been wandering about slightly dizzy 
I get so sick of this town when no one's around 
I take my place at the helm of the best seat in house wherever we are we'll struggle together if we falter at all
 and I could retrace all my steps but it just wouldn't feel the same so I'll have to trust that I'm meant for this game but the creatures they fuck up and ruin the scene always lecturing us but never know what we mean I felt that worry sweat drip down my neck
 but I do my best to forget about it We start over every day it seems
 we never get it right but we're living in our dreams and I fell apart in the dead of the night
 so I'll sleep today

I left when the lights were low I woke up and I had so far to go and I sat down for a moment, yeah I sat down for a moment just to clear my head, just to clear my fucking head of everything I've said well I left in the middle of the night I've gotta go I've gotta set this story right and I built it up so fast, just to realize it's a wreck oh it's a fortune for a fee but there's a wall hear blocking me I'll tear it down or scale the top but still wake up saying I'm in deep, deep trouble I'm in deep, deep trouble it's funny 'cause I feel alive but I'm still seeing black and white and tonight, tonight I find hope, tonight if I cope I'm living out the promises I made when we were just kids, we live and we lived I swore I'd never grow up ever at all and now that we're fucked, we'll see if my trust pays off and if I can finally see whatever's been blindsiding me the current's changed but the tide still remains we can swim 'till we drown or curl up in chains the captain jumped but I'm not surprised, he was always dishing out bad advice oh do you really feel how you wanna feel? you know I love you but I think you've had enough I know, I know it's rough but still we're right on time despite always letting life just pass us by I'm in deep, deep trouble I'm in deep, deep trouble it's funny 'cause I feel alive but I'm still seeing black and white and tonight, tonight I find hope, tonight if I cope I'm living out the promises I made when we were just kids, we live and we lived I swore I'd never grow up ever at all and now that we're fucked, we'll see if my trust pays off and if I can finally see whatever's been blindsiding me whatever's been blindsiding me (do you really feel how you wanna feel?) like a hundred bucks at most (do you really feel how you wanna feel?) maybe not but I know that it's my fault (do you really feel how you wanna feel?) not tonight but I think I got my start

Don't fade away we just met we've got years to waste and say the things that cross our mind as if it doesn't happen all the time go ahead and breathe a little we'll be just fine if we stick to the model of what we love most as long as we can go and I think we'll live to see another day

I've been sitting in the corner screaming not too loud love, not too loud I've been set up hired to get fired so I clad my way through but it gets a little bumpy and I get a little grumpy so I take a shit on everyone else and it's not a lack of trying but it's not a fear of flying so I still place the blame on myself in those fields where the snow turned ice, stop for no one, wait for nothing I'm running as fast as I can but I'm tripping over my words [woahs] I've been living without much context, sitting around just to see and hear what's next and I still hear the engine screaming far too loud love, far too loud they said believe it and you'll see it and I fell for that too I'm residing in Point Pleasant where the shit's about to go down in those fields where the grass turned brown, stop for no one, wait for nothing I'm running as fast as I can but I'm tripping over my words [woahs] in those fields where the snow turned ice, stop for no one, wait for nothing I'm running as fast as I can but I'm tripping over my words [woahs]

I let myself and the others collide, oh I know you brought me back and I felt fine, the sun shining every day you held your shield and I had mine, we lived like kings all the time in a language we could understand I'm scared to ask, did the other survive? I kept my charm right by my side and they were numbered all along but still, I still want it anyways oh all those days we left behind they're getting even closer than you think I'll trade you yours for all of mine just let me dine then intertwine I'm unaware, in bliss I ignore every sound and every chose I feel the waves from far away crashing back to shore but in my head I'm still thinking back to whatever it was that she said something about never giving up when you can't feel the ground beneath your feet I'm scared to ask, did the other survive? I kept my charm right by my side and they were numbered all along but still, I still want it anyways oh all those days we left behind they're getting even closer than you think I'll trade you yours for all of mine just let me dine then intertwine

I'm always freaking out and tweaking out and crawling in this skin there's a better way to live out there not all wrapped up in sin blink once for yes, twice for no come alive if there's something strong to chase that thinking but I remind myself that things can change sometimes take me up on that offer I made some years ago we'll go anywhere and wait, wait for signs to show a dog to steal my scarf, go flying off and through those snowy banks I'll chase him anywhere, anywhere, oh anywhere he goes 'cause I am tired and there's nothing to see when the sun goes down but some good TV and everything comes back to focus if you leave it alone for just a moment well every year these dreams seem to fade a little and every day these nightmares seem just a little more real so we'll laugh and we'll follow what we preach to the grave 'cause it's all we have until we're nothing until we're nothing until we're nothing I'm bringing laughter to the dead I hope when I revive they remember what I said 'cause I am tired and there's nothing to see when the sun goes down but some good TV and everything comes back to focus if you leave it alone for just a moment

I cannot stand here another fucking second it gets to my head and then I'm anxiously running and I know that feeling, it comes from the telephone I only trust one soul and it's not my own, oh no you were asking questions while the rest of us were living I told you you were dying but now I start to wonder I'm losing the days in dangerous ways I sneak around corners 'cause I can't show my face, oh no and I'm only painting the picture I'm strumming I'm having the very best fucking summer and I may regret some things but I'm dwelling on nothing put me in the kitchen and I'll do the cooking, I swear oh I swear oh I swear oh I swear

I found a way to reach within and recreate to find myself and reinstate a love of life and a burning hope that it'll be alright we started shit but I know, I know, I know we'll handle it they're still standing by I feel their eyes all the time oh I'll be there in a moment but I'm too terrified I'll leave this on the counter, you can sleep it off tonight I thought you'd never leave me and I thought I'd never die but here we are counting stars, trying to get ourselves as far away from everything but I can't tell what shit to bring oh I keep trying again, ideas setting in stone take a look at his eyes, I think there's nobody home oh I keep trying again, oh I keep trying again take it down a notch, oh everything has to end it's time to sleep and reset wake me up when the summer hits next we pull it off and then we craft another plan old gang's in town again they're still standing by I feel their eyes all the time oh I'll be there in a moment but I'm too terrified I'll leave this on the counter, you can sleep it off tonight I thought you'd never leave me and I thought I'd never die but here we are counting stars trying to get ourselves as far away from everything but I can't tell what shit to bring oh I keep trying again, ideas setting in stone take a look at his eyes, I think there's nobody home oh I keep trying again, oh I keep trying again take it down a notch, oh everything has to end just another town for you and me let's light 'em up then set 'em free I left the timer set to blow, let's grab the dough, we've gotta go oh I keep trying again, oh I keep trying again take it down a notch, oh everything has to end

I'm always waiting for something to happen but I need to put the wheels in motion I fear falling further but I stand still and complete the order the sun beats down forgiving no one got no religion to fall back on no hope of heaven, no inspiration just knows he's gonna blow up I've got shades of it all but this tree never really stood too tall we bear broken fruit well I remember this tree never stood too tall and now we battle for our health again and now we battle for our health again there's never insight when all we know is what we want and what we want is what we'll never have and so we battle for our health again I'm always waiting for something to happen but I need to put the wheels in motion I fear falling further but I stand still and complete the order I've got shades of it all but this tree never really stood too tall we bear broken fruit well I remember this tree never stood too tall and now we battle for our health again and now we battle for our health again there's never insight when all we know is what we want and what we want is what we'll never have and so we battle for our health again I'll leave when the lights come on and it's clear the show is over 'cause the house music's playing I found a glimmer of hope, spin and pretend oh I'll be there to take your calls and I'll be right when the timing's all wrong I'll let you know how you look in that dress but I'm no good with the subtleness

well I found my own escape and it's far away vicariously living through the pictures in my head and I broke every promise and I shattered every word and now I'm waking up to check if anybody heard we had our minds in the gutter, now our limbs are in the trenches but it's the pride we felt, that no one ever mentions so we seek your help, no we need your help so we can go, so we can go all night oh we seek your help, no we need your help so we can know it all when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home oh when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home when it's over, when it's over when this war's over, I'll take you home
