Guess it's time to decide to go
Everything's verified, it's gone away
The era we've ushered in took hold
Nothing left to defend, it's gone away
And though it's in the ground it's all around
The feelings of dismay are here today
The pages that we turned forever learned
And nothing seems to wane
Your reply wasn't right so now
I'm involved in a fight you don't know exists
You're too far out the door to notice me
On the floor just drinking in oblivion
That certain train of thought turns up a lot
But rarely can we find the frame of mind
An ending yet begun, it rolls along
And nothing seems to wane
The feelings we forgot began to rot
The stench of disrepair, of wear and tear
The pages that we turn forever burn
And nothing seems to wane

Closer to extinction, further down the line
Sits a man afraid, outnumbered in his mind
He can see the faintest writing on the wall
With no one to dissuade him
He's waiting for the fall and it's okay
Brightest of the highest, going it alone
Her effort never worked out, contented to the bone
She said, every time I've been defined
I didn't know how to square it in my mind
I didn't know how to step up to the plate
And take a look at anything in any state
I never knew the time was right when it was right
I didn't know how to live, just to survive
I never knew how to step up to the plate
And take a look at anything in any state
And it's OK
It's OK if you've wandered this way
So now we face the mounting problems of the day
That had a real solution, but we let it slip away
And no one seems to notice, no one seems to care
A part of us was missing, but now it isn't there
And it's ok
I know because every time I've been defined
I didn't know how to square it in my mind
I didn't know how to step up to the plate
And take a look at anything in any state
And it's ok

Over It
05:47

Found a space to build within
And now it's time to fill it in
I've got no time to waste today
Time to sail away
Before I know just where I've gone
Before I see the route I'm on
To think it over on the way
Is getting in the way, hey hey
Always thinking, never tried
And always vaguely satisfied
With the pounding at the door
Evening the score
Before my head screamed out inside
Before I had to get it right
I spent a moment every day running away
Past the point of no return
Important things to learn
Before the ending took me down
The tables turned around
And they will not go back again
It's hard to understand but
United we stay walking away
Can't go over it again
No, I can't go over it again
As the exodus begins
Another night descends
To make another day
We watch it slip away
I no longer ever mind
Leaving it behind
To let it survive

Unreachable

Slinking inside
I found my way again
I'm hoping tomorrow's a turn in the tide
But I'll be home by then
I came up to find you
Walking on home again
A will not resigned to
Taking this on again
'cause now no matter how much you got in the way
You're unreachable
And now no matter how hard I grab you and shake
You're unreachable
I guess it's not the same thing that you want
The moral authority to find the other end of the time warp
That I'm running on
And rest eternally
I came up behind you
Knelt on broken glass
A shakeup designed to open this road at last

When will the final phase
Completely fall in place
Been on the fence for days
You chose to gaze upon
What you were waiting on
You wonder where it's gone
You'll see where I'll be there
I'll be the one you drag down
I'll be the one who drags you down
Don't please them, release them
I'll be the one you drag down
I'll be the one who drags you down
You slept through your mistake
but now you're wide awake
Is this a chance to break through?
Agreed then, don't need them
I'll be the one you drag down
I'll be the one who drags you down

Failed
03:10

If I could look beyond what keeps me waiting on and on
If I could stand behind the last to lay it on the line
Almost is no point in letting go
Almost gone, barely on, yeah
If I could find a way to fall into what's gone and stay
If I could rest assured while hanging on your every word
Can't pay the rent with a failed experiment
Almost gone, lines are drawn
Won't be long, yeah

It gets easier to see
That the closest thing to me
Is a distant memory
That I'm struggling now to place
Takes me back to when I knew
No one else could emulate your ado
I closed my heart
And when I did an end began to start
That I'm struggling now to place
Now you're standing at the door
No one else could ever understand
Oh, but don't be sad
This is among the better days I've had
That I'm struggling now to place

Join Me

Join me as we celebrate this day
For the last time
Come undone when the fun begins then
Join the countdown onto the floor
Cleared the hate, packed away lies and I
Won't go back again til it feels like I'm out all the way
I'm stuck with the luck
I got nothing left in here
So I'll stay out of this place
Both of our worlds at the same time
Continuing on in an obvious line
And with that I'm fine
