Coming down off my last mistake, I’m finally down and out Still nearby, as I lie awake, and you’re looking kind of similar now There’s something, there’s something that keeps me back down There’s something, something that keeps me around But that’s more than I could say for when I’m sober, More than I could pray for when I’m older More than I could see over my shoulder And now I feel like I’m Under The Noose Again, Hang me up, I’m the last offender, I gave it up, and now it’s all gone I might find an escape today, But I’ve got some serious doubts All I need is some room to breathe for a while, Maybe find my way out, and then Nothing, nothing could bring me back down, Nothing, nothing could turn me around But that’s more than I could say for when I’m sober, More than I could pray for when I’m older More than I could see over my shoulder Under The Noose Again, Hang me up, I’m the last offender, I gave it up, and now it’s all gone

That stubborn head of yours, like a ship against the storm Will get you through the years, keep you safe from all your fears But day by day, you'll push everyone away That's the way you are, it's kept you safe from harm so far One day, when you think it’s done No need to make your peace Someday you’ll come undone Piece by piece You’ve pushed them away, and there’s no one around Not gonna throw you a line as you start to drown Some day, one day is all you’ll have Now you've burned every bridge you've ever come across, But you've always been that way, you just pretend it all away Until you've burned everyone you've ever come to know, Because you'd like to think that's how things turn out anyway One day, when you think it’s done No need to make your peace Someday you’ll come undone Piece by piece You’ve pushed them away, and there’s no one around Not gonna throw you a line as you start to drown Some day, one day is all you’ll have The strongest of hearts beats away within your chest, Full of pride and arrogance But pride will only get you so far, look where it's gotten you so far No one's gotten to you so far... One day, when you think it’s done No need to make your peace Someday you’ll come undone Piece by piece You’ve pushed them away, and there’s no one around Not gonna throw you a line as you start to drown Some day, one day is all you’ll have

Concentration breaks, Like a photo out of focus, I can make out the shape Slips away, Then it's lost and gone, And I'm moving on But I'm tired now, The head wants more Than the heart will allow Down and out, On and on and Day after day, A thought never stays, Alive in my head falls Dead on the page Words are painted fires that look like they burn, While the real flames Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn To trade A hundred hollow lines For the words they'll never find So much faith in words In this state, Statements I've made, declarations to make Hesitate, Proud and withdrawn, I move along Come around, Back to the start for an ending somehow Down and out, On and on and Day after day, A thought never stays, Alive in my head falls Dead on the page Words are painted fires that look like they burn, While the real flames Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn To trade A hundred hollow lines For the words they'll never find So much faith Day after day, A thought never stays, Alive in my head falls Dead on the page Words are painted fires that look like they burn, While the real flames Roar in the minds of the liars who wish they could learn To trade A hundred hollow lines For the words they'll never find So much faith

Drained and restrained, I wanted nothing more than to be your last resort Fade into grey, Give me one more chance to get and forget your name Proud and strung out, You could know for sure and keep me guessing Tell me now, Could you help me out when you know I’m helpless? Far and away, You’ve been handed more than you could ever repay me Anyway, There’s nothing anybody can do now, for your sake No need to bite your tongue, That’s gone on far too long Don’t pull your punches, We’re face to face Right down to the last breath, We’re made to break Clear the air for the very last time, It’s said and done It’s coming down to nothing now Drained and restrained, I wanted nothing more than to be your last resort Fade into grey, Give me one more chance to get and forget your name No need to bite your tongue, That’s gone on far too long Don’t pull your punches, We’re face to face Right down to the last breath, We’re made to break Clear the air for the very last time, It’s said and done It’s coming down to nothing now What I’m supposed to be Is not up to me It’s down to me Splittin’ at the seams All that you take from me You can’t have for free Don’t pull your punches, We’re face to face Right down to the last breath, We’re made to break Clear the air for the very last time, It’s said and done It’s coming down to nothing now

Long Gone 05:01
Through these barred windows, I see the light from beyond, carry on Yeah, there's no love left for me in these walls I'm long gone Please avert your eyes, They criticize me, and I'm on my own The fire that burned inside has now died It's a rain storm Every message that I send Always seems to meet with a dead end And I'm sick of it It's true, there's nothing I can do Except extend out my hand Tell me, tell me Why can't you help me out? It's gone away, And I think I'm lost in myself Wake me, take me Away from all of my doubt Build me up one last time, And never let me down Every message that I send Always seems to meet with a dead end And I'm sick of it It's true, there's nothing I can do Except extend out my hand Tell me, tell me Why can't you help me out? It's gone away, And I think I'm lost in myself Every message that I send Always meets with a dead end It's true, there's nothing I can do Except extend out my hand Through these barred windows, I see the light from beyond, carry on Yeah, there's no love left for me in these walls I'm long gone
