I'm only a slave
To my grave, I'm marching in
Thinking honestly, I cant believe
This time I'm giving in
I'm only afraid
Of losing everything I've gained
Thinking honestly, its time for me
To fight for my own name
Here I thought I was strong enough to handle this
But I never really thought that I'd be hear today
Staring at the frame
Of a love now lost
I'm left picking up the pieces of glass on the floor
So I'll break these chains
Let go of everything
That holds me down
Cause you were quick to point the gun to my head
Turned around and then ran off with them instead
Am I wrong at all to say?
That I'm not okay
I need a minute, give me time to rest my head
Because I'm tired of these pictures
Of what could've been
And now I am a shell of a man
Still picking up the pieces
Can we talk about the way that you just set me off?
With my back against the wall
I'm ready to hit the ground
And I'm about to lose at all
I'm ready to hit the ground
And here I thought I was strong enough to handle this
But I never really thought that I'd be here today
Staring at the frame
So I'll break these chains
Let go of everything that holds me down
You just took the gun
And matched your anger towards the world
Am I wrong at all to say?
I'm not okay

Twisted tongues and battered lungs
Is all thats left when
You swore that it meant something
And I almost started laughing
At the fact that you would even try
To ever justify
But didn't mother tell you so?
Didn't father let you know?
That its so dangerous
To light a match and walk away
To watch the colors start to change
As it all goes up in flames
You can't just fix this with just one kiss
I'm fucked, and you're fine
So I'll let go
This fire burns inside my chest
Without room to rest
Cause you're just going through the motions
While you toy with my emotions
And I'm sore
Cause every now and then I'll miss you more than my
Words could say
Take a look at the blood inside my veins
Can you see its been poisoned with your name?
Now my head hangs in shame
Take a look at the blood inside my veins
Can you see your name?
Can you see your name?
Now my head hangs in shame
Dangerous
To light a match and walk away
To watch the colors start to change
As it all goes up in flames
You can't just fix this with just one kiss
I'm fucked, and you're fine
So I'll let go
So I'll let go
I guess its not about possession
Or the fact that I'm obsessing with your heart
So I'll, let go

Smoker Lungs

Sore, eyes to the floor
My hands are calloused and cold
From the hopes that they'll pull me out
With my head between knees
You know that God I'm begging, please
With every stepping stone
I'm breaking bones to try and
Forgive myself for all the lies I let sink in
Between the guilt from all the corners cut
Apologies cant erase
Now I cant sleep at all anymore
No I cant sleep at all anymore
If you find me standing still
I'm just trying to catch my breath
But I'm reaching the border
And all for nothing
Cause these smoker lungs' got me feeling grey
So I'll fall back into my bad, bad habits
And blow it all away
Forgive myself for all the lies I let sink in
Between the guilt from all the corners cut
Apologies cant erase
Now I cant sleep at all anymore
No I cant sleep at all anymore
My soul is burned and you know it
From every promise I break
Every picture you take and I'm not there
My hands are covered in dirt
And I hope they pull me out
As they pull me down
They pull me down
Forgive myself for all the lies I let sink in
Between the guilt from all the corners cut
Apologies cant erase
Now I cant sleep at all anymore
No I cant sleep at all anymore
They pull me down

Well take your best shot
Put it all on me to try and change
Cause I'm tired of my reflection with those bags under my eyes
But I'm constantly
Being chased behind by clouds and all the rain
Makes it hard to see any of the light thats lies behind
I'm so sick, of being the criminal with
Every intention to trip you up
And cause a wreck
I don't want, to be the one that got in the way
I'm sick of being afraid
Its time to make the change
Often dreams
Never seem to get a hold of me
Its hard to see the picture without a frame
And oh it seems
That the clouds have started to
Clear for me
But at least I can say
After all this time
I'm still fighting fair
I'm so sick of being the criminal with
Every intention to trip you up
And cause a wreck
I don't want, to be the one that got your way
I'm sick of being afraid
Its time to make the change
So long
Cause I've been at it for so long
So long
Cause I've had it for so long

Months ahead, looking back on all the mess we made
I never thought it would end this way
And if you asked if I had
Some of the courage to go back and change it all from the start
I'd just say no
I'd just say no
I'd just say no
I'd just say no
But is anyone even listening
To the thoughts of a teenage boy
Who lost it all and now theres no point in reckoning
This is love & letting go
Honestly, cant you see
That the world is crumbling all over me
From the words that you spoke in the park and now are left in the dark
So if you ever find yourself here listening
I hope you're as happy as you made me
I've lost it all and now theres no point in reckoning
This is love & letting go
And all I have are these songs about you
Songs about love and letting go
