Serenity, why have you failed me this year?
Everyone I've ever known or ever loved
is getting thrown out of here
So piece together all the times the stars aligned
In your twisted fantasies
I'm starting to reorganize my cues and lines
And gaining back some sanity
Slow your actions, your hearts breaking in front of me
Losing traction, this ledge gives you a rush it seems
Peace of mind? You must be fucking kidding
Every road in every life i've ever tried
is shining a detour at me
So i'll release the energy inside of me
and hope it helps somebody breathe
From stress at home, and friends we fake, and love that breaks
The never ending games we play
Slow your actions, your hearts breaking in front of me

Thirst & Quench

I'd walk through fire and swim through the seas
Just to find that feeling of ease
That I had when I was a teen, reckless and free
Now I show no emotion at all
I drift through life like a ghost in the halls
and I don't know how to stop this trend
Of being a legend at playing pretend
Only in my dreams there's some clarity
I never knew what you wanted from me
The thirst and the quench never were the same thing
I never knew why you couldn't stand me
The love and the lust, it was all bullshit
I took every line, and followed the lead
and I still have no idea what it means
To be fulfilled, to follow my dreams
Everyone at this thing is staring at me
I never knew what you wanted from me
The thirst and the quench never were the same thing
I never knew why you couldn't stand me
The love and the lust, it was all bullshit

Only Love

You got the best of me
But now you can't set me free
and I had a lot to learn
Before I let the feeling burn
Remember you said: "baby,
you're the only love i'll ever need
and we can stay here for eternity
and watch all of the clouds and evergreens"
My heart felt dirty
After all the things i've seen
and I'm not deserving
Of the mess you handed me
Remember you said: "baby,
you're the only love i'll ever need
and we can sit right here in ecstasy
and watch all of the clouds and evergreens"
But now i'm hating you
and wishing we could find some other way
that we can cancel all the plans we made
and I can finally forget your face, forget your face
She used to say "baby, you're the only love i'll ever need"
She used to say "baby"

Lies!

I feel alive for the first time in a while
I don't need you to make me smile
I gained the wonder of a child
and in the air, I can feel it everywhere
The moments when you're never there
It's almost like I see the skies clear
'Cuz reality was misery to me
I was trapped into believing we
Had to life this life this way, everyday
Then it quickly came to me
How precious life can really be
Though I know you heard me say
I gave you life, you gave me lies
Another night, full of crippling divide
Empty spaces, tired eyes
No wonder how you say the words "i'm fine"
It's never true
and whats the point of seeing through
A shattered island that's been bruised
and lit on fire across its avenues
'Cuz normality was suffering to me
I was trapped into believing we
Had to do it all this way, everyday
But then it quickly came to me
What happiness can really be
Though I know you heard me say
I gave you life, you gave me lies
The purpose, direction
and forcing attention
The communication,
The loss of perspective
The echoing sadness
The pressure, the madness
The follow the leader
The ring to the casket
I gave you life
