Prologue 01:47
You’re just not the same I’m just filled with sin I’m left here insane You’re left there with him
2.
ROOTS 03:08
Apathy is lethal You’re letting moss grow You’re covered in resentment About how life tends to go I don’t see you making an effort To better anything Try getting off your ass To see what life can bring This place has stayed the same It’s your heart that has changed This place has stayed the same I’m not promising better days You bitch this town’s gone to shit I don’t see you trying to fix it You bitch that you’re drowning I don’t see you trying to swim Pessimism is lethal You’re down on yourself Hating how you’ve been treated Not looking at the wealth Of friendships around you They blossom and they bloom You ignore and let them wither And hope that spring comes back soon You can say you hate the Midwest But I’ll call you on a lie We’ve planted hearts in this soil We’ll watch them grow or die And even if we branch out We’re planted underneath this sky Our hearts are in Indiana No matter where we lie I’ve seen men deny Where they’re from No higher form of blasphemy It’ll burn your tongue No worse form of shame I’m ashamed of what you’ve done We don’t need you here Just remember where you’re from

Once again until the end We sit around and do the trend Waiting for the bitter end This the life we chose for us Society makes such a fuss But they are the ones we cannot trust Mirror, mirror that reads our thoughts Thoughts that we cannot trust Mirror, mirror that shows our lies Lies that have destroyed our lives Mirror, mirror that sees our pain Pain that flows through our veins Mirror, mirror that reads our thoughts Thoughts that we cannot trust Turn the world upside-down If they just gave us the crown Could we turn our lives around? Putting us through twists and binds But we have to stay with the times That people see as a crime We live on a thin line When the truth would be so divine Because we live in a constant high Making deals just to get by Don’t tell us we’re out of line Because we’ll be doing this until the end of time

Helpless 03:39
It’s gonna be another long night And I just can’t get away Still have a lot of bridges to burn That I deal with every day Life’s a bitch It always has been But they said keep it strong Well now they’re gone And I gotta move on I’m not afraid to prove them wrong So let’s light up the world tonight and say goodbye to all And let’s rise our heads up high in hope you’ll save our souls And if you hear my voice, you’ll have to hear My angst filled heart And I can’t hear anything I’m getting lost I’m helpless It’s gonna be another long night And I just can’t fucking get away Picking and scratching I’m over-reacting I just keep running But the darkness is forming Truth is meaningless But the thoughts are relentless My mind is senseless We were once so fearless
5.
I remember in the sixth grade Staying up late and video games I remember high school How girls suck and punk rock was cool I forget when you left here Was it lack of love or fear? I forget when you left here Where you ever really here in the first place? Packed up, and moved down south Without so much as, hey man I’ll see you around Packed up and left this place You left an empty space Never return a phone call No remorse at all Never said goodbye Did you even try? Now I’m left thinking, hey man you let me down Do you remember starting college? Couldn’t believe we reached that age You had a need to fit in Did anything for campus fame Did you forget your own name? You just weren’t the same kid Forgot to had your back Turned it on us and packed Forgot where you’re from Did it scare you? Why did you run? A wet cigarette in the morning It reminds me I’m still morning The friends that left, and that I lost to death Do you regret anything at all? ‘Cause I thought you’d call I thought you’d remember it all I thought you’d call, but my phones not ringing I guess you forgot it all
6.
Epilogue 02:35
You’re just not the same Should’ve known you were insane Now you’re all alone But I’m stronger on my own Things just aren’t the same Not the same You just lost your home I’m stronger on my own I am not the same All you left was pain You left me alone But I’m stronger on my own
