She's three feet away from exposure,
I search the room for eavesdroppers and make the most of what's left of our time
The little blue bird surrounded by vultures
The innocence is starting rupture, while you waste your time
You used to tell me you would sit on your own
The little cliques and the parties you didn't do any of those
Take a good hard look while you sit on your throne
Closure escapes these brittle bones
What the fuck
I forgot
Did you really take all my shit for granted?
Is this hate?
Is this love?
Polarise or compromise
Overjoyed and pissed
Overjoyed and overwhelmed
Maybe ignorance is bliss
Hit off too well and unprepared to commit
Fireworks or the sad songs
Grow old together or die young
Play with the sparks or sleep with the cinder
I've got the match but I can't find the tinder
(sad song, die young, depart)
Don't believe in fairy tales
I'm hitting all the buttons but I can't reset this wall I've built
You're swimming through the oceans as the dolphins circle quick
I'm the angler fish
I'll be there in the abyss

As we watched these faces turn their back on us
The ones we claimed to love,
the urge to prove them wrong
We were born in this world,
not knowing of our rightful purpose
Dying to break free
Keep close to the light
Don’t you dare give in
Be mindful, be thoughtful
And we will pull through
The tragedies in our lives
A mere forerunner of what's to come
So please keep your head up high
Keep it close to your heart
Nobody's gonna come pick you up
Little bird you've gotta fly with your own wings
Don't let self doubt keep you up
You were complete from the start
Don't be stopped by the sight of the ceiling
Falling back or moving forward?
Does it really matter anymore?
Regardless of progress, left cold and emotionless
My wings are damp and broken in the cold
I’m struggling to find shelter from this messed up world
I’ve come too far to let what I’ve built fall apart
Keep it close to your heart
Nobody's gonna come pick you up
Little bird you've gotta fly with your own wings
Don't let self doubt keep you up
You were complete from the start
Don't be stopped by the sight of the ceiling
Hello cold world...
This is not my final destination
(Hello cold world...
Is this really my final destination?)
I won’t fall down tonight i'll pick myself up off the floor this time
(Hello cold world, hello cold world)
Keep it close to your heart
Nobody's gonna come pick you up
Little bird you've gotta fly with your own wings
Don't let self doubt keep you up
You were complete from the start
Don't be stopped by the sight of the ceiling
(I’ve come too far to let this go
I’ve come too far to let this fall apart)
The windows to ignorance
Those empty faces won't ever haunt me
In this city with a fresh page and i am ready
To start again
I’ve come too far to let this go
I’ve come too far to let this fall apart

You don't make any sense
Honest to god
I didn't say
Anything wrong
But i’m still to blame
Saint turn sinner
Under fire
I’m sorry it had to be this way
But every time i speak you turn your head
Misunderstand
Just communicate
Don't blow the fuse
You lost all hope
Destruction comes this close
Don’t forget what you said to me
We doused ourselves in gasoline
And lit the match with words that's seemingly pristine
And honestly were you ever really keen
I can’t believe we let ourselves fall
Orchestrator, done over and over
Judas exposed engulfed by the smoke
Just let it go
Regression and your ignorance destroyed you
Cause my words doesn't mean a thing to you
Just let it go
Before the fuse is blown
Before the fuse is blown
We doused ourselves in gasoline
And lit the match with words that's seemingly pristine
And honestly were you ever really keen
I can’t believe we let ourselves fall
Orchestrator, done over and over
Judas exposed engulfed by the smoke
This closure is something we both don't see
So tell me if i have to leave
The weight on your shoulders are clear to me
So share of half burden with me
If I close my eyes, don't let this die
As I watch all our failures come to life...

Curtain call as I'm living in a play
The first act enters a fair maiden who's kept the boys at bay
She stumbles as I pick her up but she turns away
I move a little closer as her voice decays
Everyday I walked this way
And felt the ground beneath me shake
An actor is made as i come of age
The lies I etched upon my face
To fit the mask that I have made
We are the cast of this melodramatic play
Act two is the climax
The endangering of us all
We're all looking for companions
While morality falls
Is it worth the cost?
Temporary sustenance
Is our curse in disguise
If we anchor our whole world
To her smile
Everyday I walked this way
And felt the ground beneath me shake
An actor is made as i come of age
The lies I etched upon my face
To fit the mask that I have made
We are the cast of this melodramatic play
Must I believe
That you would be there for me?
Must I believe
That you would be there
Everyday I walked this way
And felt the ground beneath me shake
An actor is made as i come of age
The lies I etched upon my face
To fit the mask that I have made
We are the cast of this melodramatic play

Too late, you're replaced
Who the hell said ‘see you tomorrow’?
Go ahead, run away
I'll be here when you come back home
A trash bag on the side of the road
Free with the air but feel so alone
My head is my home
While I'm comprehending that
Oh my god
I lost someone to trust
But does it matter now anyway
Oh my god
The fallen stars
Fall apart in the strangest ways
Too late, you’re replaced
Who the hell said ‘see you tomorrow’?
Go ahead, run away
I'll be here when come back home
You can take your words and fucking throw them out
Self-righteous hypocrisy, I could never figure out.
You may stand tall and proud, but at least I know
I know where I fucking stand.
Fuck your ego
Screw your ego
Fuck your ego
Sick of your ego
When I said I’ve given up too much to throw this away,
Tell me is this meant to be or is it real or fake?
Your so called ambitions tugged deep inside,
Fades into dust, your grudges held tight.
All I see now is just black and white
I'm signalled by your cheap ass delight
Your grudges held tight
How cheap is your mind?
Too late, you’re replaced
Who the hell said ‘see you tomorrow’?
Go ahead, run away
I'll be here when come back home
Oh my god I’m feeling like shit
Jamming Counterparts with my band, that’s pretty shit
Running out of ideas to fill this hole
I’m not the one who wants to fit this mould
Here we go again
The lack of real friends
All alone again
Stuck without a plan
The face i used to know
Covered in cuts and sores
Your eyes when you smile expose
The troubled nights in your room alone
Don’t walk away
Keep me close to you
Don’t run away
I’ll be here for you

I’m older now
but have I really learnt everything?
I thought we strived for unity
But all I see is ignorance and hypocrisy
Im three feet under the ground
But i can't separate the noise from the sounds
Your head's in the clouds
Don't say you need me to guide you home
When i listen to your thoughts and hold my tongue
(When all you do is run)
Don't say you need me, the facts are wrong
You're pushing your ideas just to conform
(Is it really worth it to conform)
I was never the boy to follow everyone around me
Cause I've always been left behind to cave beneath the sea
I'm swimming but I'm always going backwards
All my greatest friends are moving forward
I'd rather struggle being myself than to be a machine
Than to be a machine
Don't say you need me to guide you home
When i listen to your thoughts and hold my tongue
(When all you do is run)
Don't say you need me, the facts are wrong
You're pushing your ideas just to conform
(Is it really worth it to conform)
I Know you’re ill intentioned
Stop fronting you're just a machine
Tear apart your expectations
And accept you’re no better than me
