I thought I heard your voice just the other day. I thought I saw your face in a window pane. You’ve been gone for a while, you lost that smile, where did it go? I think I thought if I just waited a while longer, that you’d come around and I’d be strong enough to keep my composure holstered, long enough to keep me close to closure. But I guess that’s why all the seasons change. (So quickly) Sometimes I wish that they’d just forget. (Erase me) We all feel this from time to time. (Try to look on the bright side) Try to look on the bright side. (Try to look on the bright side) Can you tell me why we waited so long to see the way it would all come together? ‘Cause the weather was so much better last fall. What’s another second if you’re already under the gun? What’s another couple summers without any sun? I think we’re losing our focus, were not making progress. We're getting distracted, looking back on the past and everything that we've torn apart. We're getting close to the end but now we're back at the start. I guess that’s how it goes. But I wish this could be different, I think next time will be different. I wish this could be different, I think next time will be different, but who knows? All we wanted were the simple things, we don’t care for the world, we’re living life like it’s easy. (X3) You’re missing out, on chances you should’ve taken. Keep your head up, and eyes wide open. You’re missing out, on chances you should’ve taken. Keep your head up, and eyes wide open, you won’t miss a thing.

So wake me up, ‘cause the leaves have started changing. I’ve been stuck here in the rain. It’s just my luck, or lack thereof. ‘Cause the days keep growing shorter, my bones can’t shake the cold. I need something with some substance, I could use a hand to hold. ‘Cause I’m losing my mind. I could use some more time. And I wish the world would just stall. But it’s like all the leaves have come down from their trees, I just didn’t see one fall. (I didn’t see one fall) Wake me up when this is done and over. Maybe I’ll be sane, maybe I’ll be sober. Maybe all of this rain will flood this town to it’s shoulders. Lately chaos is beauty, and I’m the beholder. I’m slipping down, down, I’m at it again, again. Wish I could hold on to hope, but my heart aches, my hands hurt. It’s too hard to clench. It’s too hard to... Wake me up when this is done and over. Maybe I’ll be sane, maybe I’ll be sober. Maybe all of this rain will flood this town to it’s shoulders. Lately chaos is beauty, and I’m the beholder. I wish you could see inside my head and read the signs, that I’ve been seeing in my dreams but cannot seem to leave at my bedside. It’s got me all confused. (this whole thing is toxic) And even if we wanted to, we couldn’t stop it.

What if things were the same? Maybe if we kept our secrets or weren’t such good liars. I still remember the day I walked into that room to see you on fire, and it burns, baby. Yeah, it burns like crazy. I still remember the taste of the blood. Thought I was safe I was stuck. Biding my time, biting my tongue. So c’mon, c’mon, make a scene now. You know you gotta gotta cut me back down to size. (You know that you want to) You gotta cut me back down to size. (You know that you need to) I’m looking at a win-win situation, ‘cause we found out who needs who, and who needs saving. And my shoulders are sore from holding the roof as it caved in. It’s too bad my skin wasn’t the only one you felt safe in. You felt safe in. You left your mistakes here with us, walked half a mile in the rain to catch a train and chase your luck. (so you left us) So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now. You never had a problem cutting me down to size. Look me right in the eyes, pretend that this is alright. You somehow never remembered to ever keep me in mind. I’m looking at a lose lose situation. ‘Cause we ruined our youth, it’s too late to save it. And all of the nights spent on worries and prayers were wasted. ‘Cause you tripped over the tracks to the train that you’ve been chasing. It was all for nothing. We all fall to something. (Look me right in the eyes. Pretend that this is alright. You somehow never remembered to ever keep me in mind.)

Dear, Darla 02:57
I’m writing down some questions. I’m looking for some answers. Why am I waiting in this silence? Why am I feeling so much tension? The winter feels colder, as my body goes numb. And my bones start to un-thaw with the rising of the sun. And my consistencies, of being not believed, find out things came to be, why she keeps calling me. Stop, stop talking about how we used to be, ‘cause I’m not your baby. And I think lately, your breath’s been wasted all along. Stop talking about how we used to be, ‘cause it drives me crazy. And I just can’t be your sob story. You stole my strength from the countless mistakes, from the disgusting face that you wore in those pictures. I’ve traced my mind for the missing pieces, but what was I thinking? They were lost from the beginning. It’s safe to say that we’re not the same. It’s safe to say that people will change. And it’s so sad to say, that we built up all these walls just to watch them all crumble away. How could you do this? You put me through this, again and again. (again and a...) Stop, stop talking about how we used to be, ‘cause I’m not your baby. And I think lately, your breath’s been wasted all along. Stop talking about how we used to be, ‘cause it drives me crazy. And I just can’t be your sob story.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been trying to find a safe place in the middle, somewhere I know I can handle, everything, about the thoughts I had way back when, back when I thought this was different, but something happened that day. I guess that’s why they say some things never stay the same. Some things never stay the same. I said, I see, the whole world out in front of me, yeah you said "don’t stray too far from the concrete". Thoughts run faster in my head, I want to wake up but I stay in bed. And like a dam on the creek I had to break free. Let’s run away, make our escape, and forget everything we know. I guess we should’ve known better, but then again we’re not that clever. Standing on the sideline, Watching time tick by. Let’s run away, make our escape, and forget everything. Forget your thoughts, forget the past, shattered windows and broken glass. We’ll never fit this frame again. (We’ll never be replaced again) So I’m going to say this out loud so you can hear what I’m thinking. We always said that we’d be different, we said we’d never walk this line again. It was over our heads. But never the less, we tried our best to ease the situation. ‘Cause in the end, we all know that life’s a competition. ‘Cause the days have past, my friends have changed, and all this time I’ve stayed the same, and I can’t think this straight. No I’ll never think this straight. We always said that we’d be different. We said we’d never walk this line again. It was over our heads. Let’s run away, make our escape, and forget everything we know. I guess we should’ve known better, but then again we’re not that clever. Standing on the sideline, Watching time tick by. Let’s run away, make our escape, and forget everything. Forget it, yeah just, just forget that, we always said that we’d be different, we said we’d never walk this line again. It was over our heads.

Here we go again. It’s getting awfully quiet, I can’t pretend, or try and to deny, it’s in my head. It’s not that I can’t fall asleep, it’s these thoughts that I think in my mind. And at night time, it makes me wanna scream. When it’s cold out, when it’s dark out, my mind is racing, but maybe, just maybe, it’s not as bad as it seems. ‘Cause when I wake up from this bad dream, I’ll shake this off, for tonight. I’ll shake this off just one more time. I can hear whispers down the hall, I can see footprints on the floor, and they make me nervous. I don’t like to feel nervous. And I can feel the spiders are spinning their webs in my head, and I’m starting to feel the hair stand up on my neck. And I hate the way that it makes me feel. Is this something I should worry about? (I’m losing touch I think it's something I should worry about) Oh no, oh no, oh no. When it’s cold out, when it’s dark out, my mind is racing, but maybe, just maybe, it’s not as bad as it seems. ‘Cause when I wake up from this bad dream, I’ll shake this off, for tonight. I’ll shake this off just one more time.
