When the bands start to look the same, and you’re starting to feel your hands shake And you think you should walk away, but you can’t find another place to escape to You belong in a place where you feel comfortable. It’s a struggle to find I know. It shouldn’t be so hard To find a place to be It shouldn’t be so wrong To want to be seen When the bands start to sound the same, and you’re starting to feel your voice shake And you think you should walk away, take up some space, you fucking belong here Your voice, screaming out into the void, someone is listening. It shouldn’t be so hard To find a place to be It shouldn’t be so wrong To want to be seen, want to be seen It took a long time for me to find my voice, and to use it It took a long time for me to find my voice, and believe it Do you feel safe, then make space, oh make space, do you feel safe

When the darkest day of the year is finally behind you but you still feel the darkness inside Light a fire, try to keep warm, try to imagine the person you wish you could have been all along Can’t ignore it, when you don’t know where you belong I wish I learned, there’s plenty of room for us all. Tell yourself it will all be better in the end, then take me straight to fucking end I could use a little bit of reminding, my world isn’t ending, so stop fucking hiding Away all the good parts, don’t tell yourself that you don’t belong I wish I learned, there’s plenty of room for us all. Some days I feel like I’m crashing Some days I feel like I’m doing fine Some days I feel like I haven’t come up for air in a really long fucking time You can’t ignore it, feel like you don’t know where belong I wish I learned, there’s plenty of room for us all.

Can anyone see me, you know I feel like a ghost up here And not friendly like Casper, oh no I’m jaded, a product of fear And though I didn’t think I’d make, I didn’t think I’d make it Out of my room, out of my house, look at me now Can anyone hear me, a tiny whisper escapes from my mouth It’s not a secret I’m telling, but it sure as hell feels like that I know I shouldn’t care what you think, but still I really care what you think Get out of my head, out of my mind, great look at me now Back in my head, back in my house, oh look at me now Looks like the road to forgiveness, is fucking exhausting When you’re trying to forgive yourself Can I let it all go now, or take it with me and stand up proud Not afraid to be me Can anyone tell me what it’s like on the other side You know the one where you live life, instead of watching life just fly by You’re not afraid to say the wrong thing, you’re not afraid to really be seen Unapologetically you, what’s that like The trust that you put in the people around you when you were a kid Should’ve drew you a map, how to get out of this town, oh I should be so much further than this Got a shovel to dig with, and a rope to climb out, pulling me back and forth, it’s a trap You keep moving forward, but you just turn right back You gotta go forward, there’s no coming/going back

I’ve been wandering around this place for days, telling myself it’s all gonna be ok Pushing down all the negative thoughts, but I can’t fucking stop them I’ve been wandering around this place for weeks, trying to find the exact place I lost it I don’t recognize anything, no I don’t recognize anything I’m pretty sure I’m gonna hate tomorrow If I don’t try to make a change today And I know that sounds easy, but it’s never that easy Oh I know it sounds easy I’ve been searching for some confidence, but all I got was a new sense of failure I’ve gotten lost in a sea of self doubt, now it feels like I’m drowning I’ve been running from everyone I love, turning my back on everything I knew I don’t recognize anything, no I don’t recognize anything I’ve been running through my head all day, trying to find something new to say Getting stuck on the same six words, “What the fuck was I thinking?” Circle back to the place I once was, and the ghost staring out of my eyes Circle back to the darkest days, now take a look at the person I am today Nothing ever changes, when the dialogue it always sounds the same And it’s not easy, it never will be

Oh Dang 03:14
The storm’s getting stronger, it’s hard to keep hope The water keeps rising, until there’s nowhere left to go Our future, turned disaster No one to blame, but the ones left with power Oh how can you be ok with it How can you wash your hands clean of this The temperature’s rising, feels like I’m gonna explode The fire’s keep burning, and we’re left choking on the smoke Our memories turned to ashes Life lost, and you just walk passed it Oh how can you look away from it How can you wash your hands clean of this Here I am thousands of miles away, and I feel responsible every day You know you’re guilty, but you just walk away, pointing your fingers, passing the blame Draw a whole new line in the sand And show/tell me how far you’re willing to go on, the backs of another Impending disaster
