High Hopes

I've taken a beating on these weary bones,
but I wont brace for sticks and stones.
My own doubt is a greater burden,
in my sight my own life is uncertain.
I'm sick of waiting
so what am i gaining from complacency?
I run so endlessly,
I run so restlessly,
running from what i cannot see,
running from inevabilities.
Rotting out, I'm a tree with no roots now.
Wavering, from side to side,
my growth is confined by the state of my mind.
I've got potential, but no substantial
reason to, not believe that,
I'm going nowhere, falling under,
running blind.
I run so endlessly,
I run so restlessly,
running from what I cannot see,
running from inevabilities. x 2

Go ahead, make amends, take your friends and leave me where you found me.
I know this game, and its a shame that you just can't quit while you're ahead.
I sit and think of all the time that I've wasted, trying to please you and your two faces.
I think that's where i went wrong for too long, trying to be something I never wanted.
I think that's where I lost sight in my life, chasing around their idea of perfection.
i think that's where I went wrong for too long.
I think that's where I went wrong.
Now its time to break what binds to regain my piece of mind.
Your insides must be tired of living in that shell you call your life.
and to think that i almost felt sorry,
I'll bury the scars deep to get back where i started.
With the whole world
against us,
I feel so
defenseless.
Its our time x4

Blank stares and worries on the mind.
A troubled mind, a troubled heart,
daydreaming nightmares.
It seeps into every single thought.
Face down into my palms,
soaking up the sweat that falls.
The sun casts down blistering heat,
while I sit so uncomfortably,
while I sit so uncomfortably.
There just outside my reach,
waiting for me to hold on tightly.
there just outside my reach.
the hand that does not reach,
is the hand that does not receive.
Each hand that does not reach,
is the hand that does not receive.
Keep on reaching. x4

I'd just like to mention that you don't learn from lessons,
and I'm starting to question the extent of retention.
cause you never listen, you don't know what you're missing.
Watched you burn all the bridges built to save you the distance.
Holding onto the past, because the present never lasts.
it never lasts.
My words could never fix you up, cause you've already dismissed the one thing that you need, constantly undermining everything.
Sit and stare into this empty cup, cause I know that if there is one thing that I've seen, the words you speak don't ring with empathy.
Sprinting in this direction till your ankles are twisted,
a head on collision caused by this blurry vision.
No one can save you now,
no one can save you from yourself.
My words could never fix you up, cause you've already dismissed the one thing that you need, constantly undermining everything.
Sit and stare into this empty cup, cause I know that i will never quite be enough to set you free.
you're lost in defeat.
Even after everything I've done for you,
there's still nothing more I can do.
Even with a life left to lose,
you give me only one choice left to choose.
I let go. x8

The Worst

Every night I chase the stars.
My eyes soak up light lost in the dark,
and every sunrise it breaks my heart.
Still every night I keep chasing stars.
I'm bracing for impact in case this hurts.
So afraid of falling I can taste the dirt.
I'm drinking the water, no quench for thirst,
cause I've seen the best and I've felt the worst.
I've felt the worst. x4
I miss the days when the world seemed so small.
I'd cry out for help and you'd answer my call.
Now every time that I trip and I fall,
each time that I stand up I don't feel as tall.
I cant chase the wind with my feet in the earth,
and I'll stop tending all the wounds that I nursed.
Let go of the edge and jump in head first,
cause I've seen the best and I've felt the worst.
I've felt the worst. x6
