It's not secret I've been a mess 'cause I wear my heart on my sleeve Got burnt out from trying my best for Something I thought I can't reach It's alright, I keep moving Ready to fall on my face again And each failure, better than nothing Something to fill up the emptiness Now I don't wanna speak too soon but... I think I'm feeling pretty good And it feels good to say that I think I'm feeling pretty good Finally happy where I'm at I think I'm feeling pretty good I've been cut down, run out of options To be the best I can be Always feeling the things that I wanted Were just out of reach It's alright, I keep moving Ready to fall on my face again And each failure, better than nothing Something to fill up the emptiness Now I don't wanna speak too soon but... I think I'm feeling pretty good And it feels good to say that I think I'm feeling pretty good Finally happy where I'm at I think I'm feeling pretty good

All My Fault 03:37
You turned around with a soft sigh So I whispered a soft "fuck you" The anger in your eyes Makes it harder to tell the truth I've been feeling a little defeated Am I no fucking use? I've been spending all my time in the basement Trying to sort this through And it's all my fault It's got to be all my fault Is it the way I never listen? Is it the way I only live in my head? Is it the work I never finish? Is it all the things I've left unsaid? Because I'm trying hard to be a good man I'm trying hard to be the person you need I just get lost in my own thoughts I know that you don't understand what I mean Now I just apologize While you whisper a soft "fuck you" The anger in your eyes Makes it harder to talk to you I've been feeling a little bit worthless Am I no fucking use? I've been spending all my nights getting wasted Trying to sort this through And it's all my fault It's got to be all my fault

Fell asleep on the tightrope Tried to balance it I'm doing what I can Kept it close to the ground though Not pushing it I'm not an optimistic man I wanna live with no regrets So I'm giving up on faking it I haven't been my best And the time that was wasted Has a hold on me It keeps trying to slip away I try not to chase it But it's consuming It won't let me get to sleep I wanna live with no regrets So I've given up on faking it I know I haven't been my best Not giving it all, but not quite half-assed I haven't been my best No regrets I wanna live with no regrets Because I haven't been my best

Take a look at this place And the mess you've made Is it hard to act your age? Baby, I've had it Your bike's out in the rain And your clothes all stained This state of disarray is tragic I'm over it Baby, I've had it You know I'm not your maid So grow up, get it straight There's no need to be so dang dramatic Come on, give me a break You lay around all day Getting mad at everything Like mom's cat Travis I'm over it Baby, I've had it I'm over it Like mom's cat Travis
5.
Another year Just like all the ones before I was restless and sad My only plans Getting drunk with my friends The only thing I had Because I was stuck in an endless rut I didn't think I'd ever change But you came in, ruined all my plans And now I'll never be the same Another night Wandering empty streets alone I was hopeless and tired My only plans Try to never make it home Disappear into the dark Because I was stuck in an endless rut I didn't think I'd ever change But you came in, ruined all my plans And now I'll never be the same Me and you best friends forever Me and you best friends for life

I think I sold my soul A slave to the machine Pawned my heart of gold For a job in the city Just punching clocks Until I'm running on empty And it never stops Until I give everything Is this what it takes to be happy? Gotta work until you bleed A big house, five cars for my family Is it what I really need? Is this what it takes to be happy? Then I might never be I think I lost control Am I dreaming? I dug a deeper hole For me to sleep in And when I say goodnight Will I have anything? Or just wasted time And a fistful of money?

Vices 02:20
Break my bones Kill my confidence Steal my breath Make my lungs collapse Break my bones I have nothing left Make my lungs collapse Make my lungs collapse Keep my head clean Keep my bad heart pumping blood Make my life a better drug (I get so caught up in it) Quit my vices I should be cleaning myself up But I can never get enough Of that cheap love Break my bones Kill my confidence Twist my words I'm not making sense Break my bones Every shallow breath Makes my lungs collapse Make my lungs collapse

Staring off of the edge Losing my focus Been keeping my head in the clouds Looking for truth In the mountains of bullshit Been keeping my ear to the ground But every time I fall apart You're the ones that are holding me up When my legs quit, when I'm stumbling home You're the ones that are holding me up (when I'm letting go) Lost in the flood With the weight of my conscience Been putting my head through the wall The sting of the past And the pain of depression Been putting my head through the wall

Get Mine 02:20
Chew me up, spit me out, turn me over I know I'm not the only one Leave me broke, make me sick, fuck me over I'm not like the other ones Break me down, lock me up, keep me quiet I know I'm not the only one Gonna scream, gonna fight, start a riot I'm not like the other ones I'm gonna show you what it means To be a victim I'm gonna get mine

I was all alone When I brought you home I spent that first night crying on the front porch How could I survive The next rest of my life It's only been one night And I don't think that I can do it Heaven help me, I'm in over my head I'm doing my best to believe I can handle it Heaven help me, I'm in over my head I'm doing my best, but I'm failing I'm inadequate I'm a hypocrite I spent the evening hiding in the bathroom Wanted a little space So I pushed you away I lost my cool but I know You were just happy to see me I need a little grace I love you all the same So forgive me, baby If I fucked you up forever I'm only human
11.
A blank stare, my world was unfolding You were the lightning shooting straight through my head Coming in hard, on such short notice I never thought I could be happy again I'm scared that I might never be enough Just hope I make a better father than I've been a son You're the light in all my darkness Now I'm never gonna be alone again Thanks for showing up A soft kiss, a search for the exit You were a fire burning straight through my head Coming in hard, on such short notice I never thought that you would love me again I know that I might fuck it up again Just hope I make a better husband than I've been a friend You're the light in all my darkness Now I'm never gonna be alone again Thanks for showing up
