And all things considered, I'm broken I'm bitter
While you're the result of the redundant listeners
From exploited emotions and context cliches
I'm a mortician who's sick of digging my own graves
So I found solace in transparent bottles and cellophane
Your body stays numb but your mind stays the same

We're dancing with cadavers
To find companionship
Due to disenchanted pipe dreams
And the lies that left your lips
A suburban legend
With nothing to show for it (a suburban has-been)
Can you tell me I'm worth it
That this wasn't all for nothing
Foundations decay and I'm falling through the cracks
We're the lion heart of last nights arrival
I know it's all about survival but
I'll take a leap of faith without a parachute
I'm one step from jumping off the edge
Is there still time to make it
Or am I just in over my head
We're taking out pages
From books we never read
Written by the other side of you and I
Casualties of Nine-to-Five
Asking me for honesty will only bring the worst out in me
I'll take a leap of faith without a parachute
I'm one step from jumping off the edge
Is there still time to make it
Or am I just in over my head
The sea she cast her storm
This rusty boat cannot withstand the blows
And truth be told I can't support this anchor weight
This can't be it
(Is there still time to make it)
(Or am I just in over my head)
We're the lion heart of last nights arrival
I know it's all about survival but
I'll take a leap of faith without a parachute
I'm one step from jumping off the edge
Is there still time to make it
Or am I just in over my head
Over my head

You know I hate to see you suffer
But could you hold on a little longer
Til I get home
I miss the knocking on my bedroom door
You used to keep me up at night
But now I lay here wide awake without you
And I still look for you in all your favorite spots
But you're not there
And it's not fair
You don't get used to contemplating loss
And it's only creeping closer
From start to end, you were always my friend
Man it never gets easier
And hey kid, I'll miss you too
There's comfort in familiar places
And destinations filled with sentiment
Like the past is in the present
But the moments don't last
And then I'm left with all the pieces
It takes so much longer to pull yourself together
Than it does to fall apart
But we'll never play that game again
And home will never really ever be the same again
And lately, I think I've lost myself without you
But I'm gonna take it day by day
Cause time never really stops it only fades away
I'm trying to save face, but we both know
That I've seen some better days
You don't get used to contemplating loss
And it's only creeping closer
From start to end, you were always my friend
Man it never gets easier
And hey kid, I'll miss you too
You know I hate to see you suffer
But could you hold on a little longer
Til I get home
You don't get used to contemplating loss
And it's only creeping closer
From start to end, you were always my friend
Man it never gets easier
And hey kid, I'll miss you too

If walls could talk
I would be the headline of every paper
The paragraph under every picture
That stays burned inside your head
But my demons are well fed
Locked up in secret
Nobody has to know
You crossed the line and now
It's your mistake to pay
You crossed the line and now
It's my move, I'm still a jack of all trades
Tonight's the night it could happen again
I can't help that I'm in love with misfortune
All you wear is cloak and dagger
But all I see is glass
Your secrets are see through
This night might be your last
You might think I'm self-righteous
But there's no way to fight this
Like you're sinking deep in quicksand
Like your life is just clawing at your throat
You're up to your neck in your daily misfortunes
You jumped in just to see if you could float
I'm off the deep end
Fighting my way back
Against the current
Take me as I am or lock me in a cell
My heart goes to heaven and my mind goes to hell
My mind goes to hell
Tonight's the night it could happen again
I can't help that I'm in love with misfortune
All you wear is cloak and dagger
But all I see is glass
Your secrets are see through
This night might be your last
We're growing in our ranks
We're swinging side to side
You drown in your mistakes
We are the high tide
BLEGH
Tonight's the night it could happen again
I can't help that I'm in love
Tonight's the night it could happen again
I can't help that I'm in love with misfortune
All you wear is cloak and dagger
But all I see is glass
Your secrets are see through
This night might be your last

Therapeutic parked car conversations
Will lead us through this year's congregation
Our bleeding hearts and broken bones
I'll see you when I get home
Don't you wait up for me
Don't wait for me
Some things are meant to be lost
So I'll make the best of bad advice and bad news
Cause this is who I am, and all I'll ever be
I had your best interest in mind
Could you say the same for me
Oh the tables have turned
You tied me up in forget-me-knots
I left you hanging on my back porch
So call this self diagnosis
I'm a product of your afterthoughts (your afterthoughts)
Like petals pulled from roses (they wilt away)
Pick me through I love you nots
Don't you dare stop and wait for me
Don't wait for me
Some things are meant to be lost
So I'll make the best of bad advice and bad news
Cause this is who I am, and all I'll ever be
I had your best interest in mind
Could you say the same for me
Could you still say the same for me
How did we let it get this far
We both know I'm worth more than this
How did we let it get this far
We both know you're worth more than this
How did we let it get this far
We both know we're worth more than this

My mind wanders as I settle in
Neck deep in calculated time wasted
And time well spent
I fight for hours to conjure these constructs to be misled
But it's just another day
It's getting hard to rationalize
The pursuit of prestige on these 10-hour drives
So will you still salute me as this ship starts sinking
Cause these sails are made from wishful thinking
The curtain's been pulled
So string me up from your rope string lights
As they burn blue and bright
We felt like kings as we walked through the alley that night
So call me a cynic
As I pray on the optimist
You're all just martyrs
Looking for a sword to fall on
So sharpen your blades as you sharpen your tongues
It's getting hard to rationalize
The pursuit of prestige on these 10-hour drives
So will you still salute me as this ship starts sinking
Cause these sails are made from wishful thinking
So much to lose and less to gain
I'm a shovel against an avalanche
I only have myself to blame
But I'm doing okay
(I gathered all my things and fled the scene)
(I traded parties for wandering aimlessly)
(Around the streets outside Columbus)
(But I'm doing okay)
It's getting hard to rationalize
The pursuit of prestige on these 10-hour drives
So will you still salute me as this ship starts sinking
Cause these sails are made from wishful thinking
It's getting hard to rationalize
Leaving loved ones behind with those tears in their eyes
So will you still salute me as this ship starts sinking
Cause these sails are made from wishful thinking
