I’ve been told that my generation’s gone to waste and we’re Short term on the choices that we make on love and we’re Burnt out on the 4 inch screen and swiping right on those One night stands that will leave us wanting false pretenses I believe that it’s more than just a silly game cause I’ve Been burned I’m not one for making first impressions Was she right in front of me? Did I take for granted my surroundings? Is it up to me say what I’m really thinking cause I can’t promise her tomorrow, I’m not staying here tonight Just a stranger in my bedroom And I don’t know if she’s alright Chasing empty conversations Does she even feel the same? It’s funny how I think she’s everything When all I know is her name She’ll get the better parts of me I’m not afraid of honesty Why’s it so hard for me to Strike up a conversation Don’t set the expectations Nobody here is perfect Give me a chance to be there It’s time to be courageous I hope that I’m courageous Why can’t I be courageous

They’re finally catching up to me, It’s something I don’t believe How far behind I really was, and what stood in front of me Somewhere the needle hit the head, I felt I got a grip I feel the heat beneath my feet, and this is not over yet I think I’m getting the hang of this (now it all make sense) Feels like I’ve wasted a lifetime to find where I fit in And I’ll shoot straight through the ceiling at a hundred and ten I can’t see them from where I am catch me if you can You won’t amount to anything, that’s what they said to me 1 lap 1 mile left to go, nothing to hold me down but gravity I spent a lot of my days, feeling slow and defeated Moving through life with these crutches I never needed I think I’m getting the hang of this Feels like I’ve wasted a lifetime, to find where I fit in And I’ll shoot straight through the ceiling at a hundred and ten I can’t see them from where I am catch me if you can You won’t amount to anything, that’s what they said to me (2x) I think I’m getting the hang of this Feels like I’ve wasted a lifetime, to find where I fit in And I’ll shoot straight through the ceiling at a hundred and ten I can’t see them from where I am catch me if you can

I can feel the pain all through my chest Torments the soul which I’ve been cursed I saw the light shine in my eyes And it burned in me all through the night Bitter days that led to sleepless nights Where I stayed until I went insane I woke in sweat you said my name It’s not the world it’s starts with with me I count the seconds in a day and it’s just enough for me to scream The world around me has gone insane and who would have thought we'd see the end No one that's left will fight for change they’ve taught us fear and that will stay You can’t hold me back, you can’t kill my voice, you can do your best but I’ll take your life They’ll try their best but they’ll never stop me Tell me that it’s all in my head That my fears aren’t real and the world is never ending Breathe in while the air is still sweet We can never go back from a world that's always changing I see the road in front of me Guarantee of instability Now I’ll fight the big machine that says Where I go and who I try to be I don't have a choice the world will die Do you really think that we won’t fight? You can’t hold me back, you can’t kill my voice, you can do your best but I’ll take your life They’ll try their best but they’ll never stop me I always knew monsters were real I just never thought they’d rule the world (2x) Tell me that it’s all in my head That my fears aren’t real and the world is never ending Breathe in while the air is still sweet We can never go back from a world that's always changing

Sometimes I look up to the sky and wonder why I'm here Will what I say have mattered if my soul was never real What's different about me today is there's nothing in my way But I'm waking up from yesterday and nothing here has changed I'm wandering these streets alone Am I strong enough here on my own? If I stay, I don't think I'll ever change Will I find my back home? Where will I be in 4 more years? If I knew the answer now would I still fear? The thoughts inside my head that I don't believe, Am I half the man that I'm supposed to be? One night I left the confines of this God forsaken room And I breathed the air so heavily cause it never felt so good The words had built inside of me but I never understood The laws that said we built these walls and we sealed them off for good I'm wandering these streets alone Am I strong enough here on my own? If I stay, I don't think I'll ever change Will I find my back home? Where will I be in 20 years? If I knew the answer now I know I'd see It's there in front of me but I can't believe That I let the voices get the best of me Don't listen to what they say Everything you imagine falls down on its face I want to be free, I’ll break off of these chains I'm running from the fear inside myself before I go Don't listen to what they say Everything you imagine falls down on its face I want to be free, I’ll break off of these chains I'm running from the fear inside myself before I go

Driving down the backroads counting all the constellations We spent the nights of summer getting lost in miles of pavement Graduation came we got a college education What will the world have left for us when we decide to come back home? I miss the days when my Mom would yell at me forgetting all my chores Grabbing pizza with my friends and staying up late on the weekends Those were the days to remember I was told when I was young don’t waste your time pretending You’ve got to work and get a job the cycle’s never ending Everyday I’m working, still trying to find my confidence But I’d never regret all the time that I spent here I miss the days when my Mom would yell at me forgetting all my chores Grabbing pizza with my friends and staying up late on the weekends Those were the days to remember I feel the time is passing and that’s how I know I’m wasting my life 2x We are the generation 2x Who make up the difference 2x We stand on the shoulders 2x Of giants before us 2x

They hide in empty hallways Sometimes are waiting for me I know they've all been watching and that's worse than being lonely Someone saw me die tonight What I can't control I cannot accept Cause I'm worthless, shameful, I've grown tired of this Please tell me this Don't have fear for what may come today Someday everyone will know my name Show fear, and that's your downfall You can't go in swinging blinded Stand up for what you're made of (ha, see what we did there?) You've got all your life to prove it Someone saw me die tonight What I can't control I cannot accept Cause i'm worthless, shameful, and I've grown tired of this And I don't exist Don't have fear for what may come today Someday everyone will know my name God give me the strength That I may see through today That the voices remind me that I do exist That i do exist That i do exist That i do exist Chorus (screamed) Simultaneous Give me the strenght to see through this day 2x Don't have fear for what may come today Someday everyone will know my name 2x

They won’t be your friend, cause they see you so much differently And that hurts to say, I know pain that you feel everyday And it’s hard to say, that life from here gets much easier So don't fuel their doubts, you'll shine bright enough to burn the place Could I take the adolescent me And show him the man at 23 Cause that boy from then is still inside I’d tell him today Spend your days back early in the Summer Leaving behind the world you've come to know You know the best days to remember Are the ones still yet to come Don’t forget what you’ve learned here so far That words are weak and nobody else will say what you’ll become You'll let go of the days that you spent Pretending you don't exist Is it my turn now to show him there is another way To say when and how, and be confident we're all the same If I knew back then would my life have ever really changed? It's not where you've been, it's the day you learn to breathe again For my friends who said that I could be I'll give all my days so thankfully I won't waste my time collecting dreams I'll give them away Spend your days back early in the Summer Leaving behind the world you've come to know You know the best things to remember Are the ones still yet to come Don’t forget what you’ve learned here so far That words are weak and nobody else will say what you’ll become You'll let go of the days that you spent Pretending you don't exist Lift up your head listen to me The best years ahead of you aren’t just a dream Dry up your tears, let go of those fears One day you'll grow up to be just like me Spend your days back early in the Summer Leaving behind the world you've come to know You know the best days to remember Are the ones still yet to come Don’t forget what you’ve learned here so far That Mom was right and you'll write the words to the story of your life You'll let go of the days that you spent Pretending you don't exist

You’re always up to something Don’t you lie to me I shouldn’t keep this locked inside Or I’ll have to burn the bridge None one here will walk away? Where’s the honesty? Stick to your guns and throw down the fight This is gonna burn Don’t blame me I’m the only thing that seems to work Am I sane? Apologies that sounds like this You’ll be alone Regret the day you spoke to me Leave me be What do I need to prove to you? I’ve got it figured out Pigeonhole your expectations I’ll be more than this I demand your respect Not afraid to dismiss What I stand for and what it means to me Say a prayer to your God Beg for mercy I am having a mental breakdown I can’t stand on my feet The room is still spinning Addiction is winning You’ve taken the life out of me

Stuck inside my room in bed Leaves me in distress I know what is best for me Yet here I stay asleep I don’t want to leave home There's a monster outside And he's watching my every move Like a shelf on display Can’t you see I’m afraid? I'll be swallowed before I know I am living my biggest regret And nobody seems to care In this rut I am stuck on my own I'm just passing the time away Every day the same damn thing Step inside my car Tell them what they want to hear Let their screams subside You can't possibly know What it's like to be me I'm a prisoner of my head I need someone to say That i'm more than this fear That I'm wasting my life away I am living my biggest regret And nobody seems to care In this rut I am stuck on my own I'm just passing the time away

She closed the door on us No words to be spoken for I knew the timing was wrong What did I expect her to say? So I will be stronger, it’s unfair to say you love me if you’re not here But still I waited, and it left a trail of scars on my neck You said I’m lost, I'm just taking paths that no one cared to I need some time on my own, but I will never love you Deadlocked in reflection Staring at the man who’s a stranger Where am I to go from here? Who dreams of being alone? So I will be stronger, it’s unfair to say you love me if you’re not here But still I waited, and it left a trail of scars on my neck You said I’m lost, I'm just taking paths that no one cared to I need some time on my own, but I will never love you When did I fall in a trap I know I’m better than this I will be fine 2x I will be stronger, it’s unfair to say you love me if you’re not here But still I waited, and it left a trail of scars on my neck You said I’m lost, I'm just taking paths that no one cared to I need some time on my own, but I will never love you I'm so much stronger for the words you always left unspoken Why did I wait? I am so much better taking chances. One thing is true... I would never find myself without you Maybe you weren't a mistake, but I will never love you.
