Overgrown

These roads are dusty and barren
It's been a long time since they were walked down
If they ever have been
With trees overgrown, the cracks starting to show
I don't know if this is the right path
But I can hope
Lord, if you can hear me
I know I can't do this alone
This is a winter unlike any other
And the cold goes down past my bones
Who knows what I'll find at the end
Or if I'll still be whole
But I'll walk down these roads all the same
And hope my heart will remain intact
Lord, if you can hear me
I know I can't do this alone
This is a winter unlike any other
And the cold goes down past my bones
Lord, if you can hear me
I know I can't do this alone
This is a winter unlike any other
And the cold goes down past my bones

I want out of this god forsaken town
And this room that's become a cell
I swear these people want to watch me drown
It feels like my head is home to hell
I made a suicide pact with my friends
Cause there's no happy way for this to end
I made a suicide pact with my friends
And I'm sorry if you're hearing this after we're dead
I've walked these same streets a million times
Always skipping the cracks
I need to leave this town before I lose my mind
Before I break my back
I made a suicide pact with my friends
Cause there's no happy way for this to end
I made a suicide pact with my friends
And I'm sorry if you're hearing this after we're dead
Those people say that they love me
But I think they're lying
I feel their eyes on the back of my neck
It feels like I'm dying
I made a suicide pact with my friends
Cause there's no happy way for this to end
I made a suicide pact with my friends
And I'm sorry if you're hearing this after we're dead

Take Your Medicine

I know it doesn't seem right
But it's what you need to do
Speak your mind, you're running out of time
It's well past overdue
I need to know just what you're thinking
It would be nice to know the truth
The sun is setting on this familiar place
What have you got to prove?
You tell me I should take my meds
I'm starting to lose my mind
Panic, this uncontrolled dread
Only you can ease my mind
My invisible fight
I'm trying to trust my friends
But the voices inside
Tell me that they want me dead
I don't know who to trust
You or the voice inside my head
I try to follow my heart
To trust in love instead
You tell me I should take my meds
I'm starting to lose my mind
Panic, this uncontrolled dread
Only you can ease my mind
You tell me I should take my meds
I'm starting to lose my mind
Panic, this uncontrolled dread
Only you can ease my mind
You tell me I should take my meds
I'm starting to lose my mind
Panic, this uncontrolled dread
Only you can ease my mind

Feel Good

There's someone in these halls
Who looks just like me
But they carry a knife
And they've cut their teeth
Wake me up when it's over
When I can feel safe again
I want to feel good once more
So I won't have to pretend
Haunted by fragments
Dead pieces of me
Invading my skin like a vampire
Infecting me with lethargy
Wake me up when it's over
When I can feel safe again
I want to feel good once more
So I won't have to pretend
Wake me up when it's over
When I can feel safe again
I want to feel good once more
So I won't have to pretend

Before Disaster Falls

Let me sit in this moment
And enjoy the peace it brings
Cause I know it's only a moment
Before I feel the sting
I've been waiting for the weight
The burden that trauma lays
Finding peace in the seconds between
The chaos of thunderous days
If you're here with me
In a place we can call home
Let the chaos and trauma come
Cause I know I won't be alone
Let me enjoy the beauty of the wind
Bounding between the birds and trees
Carrying the scent of a quieter place
Where I can let myself breathe
Cause I've been waiting for the weight
The burden that trauma lays
Finding peace in the seconds between
The chaos of thunderous days
If you're here with me
In a place we can call home
Let the chaos and trauma come
Cause I know I won't be alone

Will You
03:52

Stay
Promise you'll wait
I've been like this
For all of my days
Cold
Left on my own
Trying to find somewhere safe
To call my home
Will you be there
When the sun goes down on this crummy town?
Will you tell me
Everything will be alright?
Alright
I know
If I'm left on my own
That nothing will change
There's nowhere left to grow
When all is quiet
And I'm left with my thoughts
It's a quietly looping song
Of everything I'm not
Will you be there
When the sun goes down on this crummy town?
Will you tell me
Everything will be alright?
Alright

A Plea To The Gods
04:28

Drift to sleep, dream of better days
Before the dark started to creep in
In the reeds, where water finds its rest
There I'll be when I come home
Let's escape on wings we were born without
They will bear us to a new beginning
Let's escape this life of fear and doubt
We might find a way to live this life out
In my sleep I could see your face
Hear your voice caught between the waves
I knew in my heart your life it would take
But I let you go
Let's escape on wings we were born without
They will bear us to a new beginning
Let's escape this life of fear and doubt
We might find a way to live this life out
This beast of pride
Will eat us alive
Send down wings
We'll take to the sky
Let's escape on wings we were born without
They will bear us to a new beginning
Let's escape this life of fear and doubt
We might find a way to live this life out

When I Get Better
04:41

I'm going in circles
Walking on wires
I'm sorry for the mess
I've just been so damn tired
Carry me
I need you know more than ever
But I'll stay far away
Until when I get better
Searching for the source of light
When I'm on fire
Burnt out in the back room
Fading in and out with the choir
Playing a simple melody
Vague reminders of static hearts
Carry me
I need you know more than ever
But I'll stay far away
Until when I get better
I hope that day will come
I've been searching for so long
Carry me
I need you know more than ever
But I'll stay far away
Until when I get better
