Not Like it Used to Be

I’m getting used to sleeping in
On the weekend
While my friends are out doing
Something more important
With themselves
And it’s uneven
I fell off
And they moved on
When I fucked up
It’s not like it used to be
I’m not strong on my own anymore
I need some progress
And in my eyes
I fell behind
And now I’m asking you to wait
I’d do anything
To keep these panicked hands
From always shaking
It’s like desperate erasing
I am cold and out of place
The buzzing in my ears won’t go away
They’d rather stay
I’m not strong on my own anymore
I need some progress
And in my eyes
I fell behind
And now I’m asking you to wait

In The Open

Take a breath
My flaws are in the open
And I've tried my best
To fix the things I've broken
I've got the shades drawn
The lights turned down low
I've been looking for some answers
Nothing seems to make it through
Would you take a look inside of me?
While I pace around so anxiously
The corners of my room
Don't feel safe when I'm alone anymore
Every day I bend and then I break
Every night I just lay there wide awake
I remember all of my mistakes
I let them sink into my conscience
And they hold me there until I can't
Take a breath
My flaws are in the open
And I've tried my best
To fix the things I've broken
Cause I know
I crack
At the smallest bit of pressure
So I'll stay away
Cause I'm not strong enough
To leave this shelter
I need composure
But I can't control this pressure
The exit I left out of sight
Is hidden deep behind the light
And I know
It's been feeding all my habits
The moments linger endlessly
And I start to lose my balance again
Every day I bend and then I break
Every night I just lay there wide awake

Happy Enough

Count me out
Cause once again I let you down
I can see it in your eyes, you’re not surprised
Pretend you don’t mind
But it’s been in your head for days
And you just can’t quite seem to put that pain away
Buried alive
Under all my aspirations
I am not the man I promised I would be
it’s all barriers
And locked doors
Hushed tones
And quiet apathy
I’m terrified when I don’t feel a thing
Are we happy enough,
Or are we telling ourselves that we’ve been through too much?
I wanna know if I’m just caught in a rut
Cause I feel like I am always so cold to the touch
And I’m sorry
I’m not here when you talk to me
I’m stuck somewhere else
And you can’t take much more of this
I think I need some help
Are we happy enough?
I keep telling myself that we’ve been through enough
I need to know that this is only a rut
I don’t want to always feel like I’m cold to the touch
I’m not here when you talk to me
I’m somewhere else
And we can’t take much more than this
We’re not happy enough.

You

A weary smile
Won’t hide a thing
They can see whats on the inside
But you won’t ever let them in
Hung up on all of these worries
You don’t recognize you’re lost
I bet that you’ve been hiding from yourself
Come back
Stay here
Don’t run away from everything you are
Breathe in
No fear
It takes a lot to heal an empty heart
It all fell apart again
You’re not yourself
You’re not the same
But I don’t want to walk away
You’ve dug yourself into this hole
And I can’t seem to let you go
I’m reaching out and hoping
I can see myself in you again

You call this progress
and you said it’d take some time
I told you I’d be honest
If I’m stuck inside my mind
Is this healing?
Am I really getting better?
I used to trust my feelings
Now my moods shift like the weather
Tongue tied for the hundredth time
I’m losing all sense of reason
I’ve been longing for some peace of mind
So I’m making my peace with these demons
So this is progress
I don’t feel a god damn thing
I’m still the same kid from before
Something less I needed more
And I’m wondering
If there’s color beyond the gray
I’m tired of making myself sick
From stressing out this way
It’s the same repeating cycle
But we get better every time
And I’m not sure if I’ll ever break it
But everyone is in search of an exit
