(Nat) I saw that five eleven and I struggle to stay above that final inch. (Nat/Rain) Will I fall down Or keep holding on Will I fall down Fuck Will I fall down Or keep holding on Will I fall down No (Nat) My future is so hazy I need to stop and think (Rain) I tried I swear I tried I failed (Nat) I can't explain, how it feels to watch your life fade away Lost in my days, with no desire to stay awake The days burn into weeks and the months just melted into years (Nat) I struggle to hold on to hold to hold on I struggle to hold on to hold on to what little i have left (Rain) I struggle to let go to let go to let go I struggle to let go to let go of what little I never had

(Nat) Why does there have to be a discount from who I am and who I want to be Your eyes are a mirror I know it's hard to make a change but i can't live in stagnation You're eyes are a mirror Break through all the pain You're eyes are a mirror That holds me back Your eyes are a mirror The Cards don't lie in the stars I have nothing to blame but myself But I can no longer live in these black days Must destroy myself to recreate (Nat) look in your eyes I see myself Living ashamed day to day I look into your eyes And see myself, living ashamed day to day (Rain) Live your life Live it right Live your life Do what's right (Rain) To look, death in the face Sheath your knife in his blood I'm not finished (Nat) I walk through these days And see your faces Here for the same reason Feeling left behind Going home to black days Wishing for a better future We don't need to walk though these days alone Why does there have to be a discount from who I am and who i want to be Your eyes are a mirror I know it's hard to make a change, but i can't live in stagnation Your eyes are a mirror Pray to the stars That won't change who you are Pray to the stars That won't change who you are

(Rain) You're beautiful Throw a stone through so called perfection And embrace your imperfections For they Make you who you are (Nat/Rain) I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know (Nat) I remember the first time i saw your long brown hair and sad dark brown eyes I couldn't find the air in my lungs to tell you, and I know you couldn't produce the words to say anything either You go home all alone and I go home all alone and we stay awake lonely I wish you/I could produce some words to say anything Two broken hearts flat lining all alone Two broken hearts flat lining all alone (Nat) I want you to know you're beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful (Rain) You are beautiful You are beautiful You are beautiful You are beautiful

(Nat) I remember hearing you name i thought I'd never forget your voice But that must have gone first Shatter me Every failing day, i worked hard Starting with bricks and mortar Around my heart, I've become unbreakable But sorrowful and locked in my own prison I need an escape I need to breathe i need to feel I'm ready to scream and dissolve my world Could you be the one to shatter my defenses Could you be the one to open my eyes Could you be the one to help me escape myself Because my heart's starting to beat again lying next to you And my defenses are melting away looking into your eyes And I'm starting to scream again And my hearts pounding at full speed And I'm starting to believe in things just as if it was like for the first time
5.
(Nat) I stand here, in front of everyone, screaming inaudible words and the meaning gets lost Everything gets lost in the verses the verses the verses, but everyone gets a show, and that's what they want to see But I write the same song over and over and over again, and it doesn't make me feel any better What a shitty form of therapy (Rain) I can feel the waves crashing and breaking against my body like a brick through a window I'm trying to find the balance between keeping myself and my friends happy I'm trying to find the balance but there is none I'm trying to find the balance between keeping myself and my friends happy I'm trying to find the balance but there is none Am I who you want me to be, or am I who i want to be I'll carve my own path over your weathered facade (Nat) I said it once but i'll say it again, we have no fucking clue what we're doing here. It's just me versus my verses If you hear one thing tonight, please do not clap, please do not cheer or smile. Please do not applaud our sorrow please let our songs end in silence Because I think Hemingway had it right I think Hemingway had the answer He knew how to go (Nat/Rain) It's versus verses so watch me bleed
