Stay In Line

|

Stay in line, stand up straight, follow through.
All the things I should be won't make do.
‘Cause I've hit my wall one last time, and now I'm through.
Stand up straight, stand in line, leads to nowhere.
And I don't need to remember the things that I fought through.
The ones who pushed me to get here just set me up here to lose.
Look around, all the things I've ever wanted.
You can't tell me this is all there is to know.
These things I’ve wanted, things I’ve needed, things I hold
Left me broken, left me empty, wanting more.
And I can’t seem to remember the reason I fought through.
But when I pushed me to get here I set me up here to lose.
And I can't sleep anymore and I don't know what all of this is for.
I've been waiting for hours. I've been stuck here for hours.
And I can't sleep anymore and I don't know what all of this is for.
I've been waiting for hours.
At the end of myself.

Pushing forward, fighting my way back to what I know.
Comfort comes in small amounts and leaves me here below.
But I’m going nowhere.
I feel so out of place.

Walls I Build
08:39
|
|
||
I feel I’m constantly searching,
Looking all around, the faces that hold me back.
My attention is captured
By this world that suffocates me.
I’m tired of chasing shadows
‘Cause darkness is all I ever find.
But with distractions surrounding
My sad reality won’t consume me.
I can’t see through the walls I build
That isolate me.
Hiding away I can’t see what to get back to.
Is someone trying to reach me?
I can’t see a face through what I’ve put in the way.
All my walls have no windows.
This emptiness is taking over.
I’m tired of chasing shadows
‘Cause darkness is all I ever find.
But with distractions surrounding
My sad reality won’t consume me.
I can’t see through the walls I build
That isolate me.
Hiding away I can’t see what to get back to.

Pushing You
04:35
|
|

I’ve told you I loved you a thousand times,
But I turned away a thousand more.
Every day you stood there waiting for me, waiting for me
And I can’t take this anymore.
I know the answer that I’m looking for,
But the question comes up just the same.
I don’t know why I keep on doing the same things I’ve always done
But I’m the only one to blame.
Why do I keep pushing you?
I keep pushing you away this time,
When everything I know I need is here tonight.
The reasons always seem to pass me by.
Today feels just like yesterday.
But moving forward feels like going back again, so far back again.
Somehow I’ve got to find a way.
Why do I keep pushing you?
I keep pushing you away this time,
When everything I know I need is here tonight.
Pushing you, I keep pushing you.

Let It Go
05:44
|
|
||
Forgiveness is a word that I don’t understand.
How can you just let it go?
I can’t forget one moment of one hour of one day,
But you remove it all at once.
I can’t believe you’d love me after all the things I’ve done.
I can’t believe you’d want me after all that I’ve become.
Forgiveness is a gift I could not accept.
How could I just let it go?
Could it all change in one moment of one hour of one day?
Would you remove it all?
I can’t believe you’d love me after all the things I’ve done.
I can’t believe you’d want me after all that I’ve become.

My First Step
05:40
|
|
||
How could I be so blind for all these years,
I never took the time to see.
Been looking everywhere for answers and for explanations
But they’ve been right in front of me.
You told me all the things that I should be,
I’ve seen that end and now I’m done.
‘Cause I can’t keep on dragging all your expectations of me.
It’s time to put them down and run.
Taking my first step, waiting just to see
If everything I used to know is letting go of me.
Part of me still wants to hide from you.
Some things I don’t want you to know.
Can you see past all of my failed attempts to fight this emptiness?
‘Cause I’ve got nowhere else to go.
Taking my first step, waiting just to see
If everything I used to know is letting go of me.

Wash Away
04:43
|
|
||
Can it wash away into the sea?
Will I suffocate or be free?
If I take this step what will it mean?
Can a filthy rag be made clean?
I've got to hope that this is real,
That I can change the way I feel.
For this to work, I must believe
That a filthy rag can be clean.

My First Breath
05:01
|
|
||
I feel a comfort that I’ve never known,
Weight is lifting, finally free.
I know these steps I’ve taken led me to this place,
A place where I can breathe.
Taking my first breath, longing just to be
Someone that I’ve never been: known, fulfilled, and free.
Taking my first breath, a moment to begin.
Letting go of who I was, my chance to start again.

Epilogue
03:40
|
|
||
So long I searched for everything,
I searched for anything to ease my mind.
But once it all had washed away,
I saw the end of me letting go.
But somehow I found everything
Not doing anything on my own.
I just had to let go of me,
And trust the everything I found in you.
