drink up fill my cup
yo, what's new? and hey, whats up?
it's a hell of a party
by the way who are you
I'm so fuckin' lost

I don't know how i got here
I don't even live near

shallowness is our bliss
yeah we live for the kicks

a lesser sum

I am so many things
so many things I'm not
the one who got forgotten
the one who forgot
the hero that I could have been
the villain I've become
all those little parts
adding to a lesser sum
this is me
this is me
indeed I think too much
am stuck in my own head
demons closing in on me
crushing me with dread
questions I habe plenty of
yet answers I hold few
the older that I tend to be
the less I think I knew
was it me?
was it me?
now everyday's a fight
I kick and scream and shout
in some sort of last attempt
to drown my sorrows put
stuck here with a live I didn't want for me at all
where is this all headed
I no longer recall
who are we?
who are we?
I am so many things
so many things I'm not
the one who got forgotten

the doors are closed the windows shut
the best things put us down when they're gone
each knife you placed inside of me
left it's scar undeniably
and so I'm left here with my demons
and I'm afraid
singing will no longer help me by God I swear
music won't safe me this time
what if this was the end of the line?
I missed by two thousand miles
I should've listened to the voice
telling me to stop right there
telling me to stop right there
and so I'm left here with my demons
and I'm afraid
singing will no longer help me by God I swear
music won't safe me this time
(you should have told me. It's not fair)
(you should have told me, then and there)
and so I'm left here with my demons
and I'm afraid
singing will no longer help me by God I swear
music won't safe me this time

Wake up your bones
Tell me to go
Lay down your head
On someone else's bed
I fear that you'll never mend, never mend
But I hope you'll prove me wrong
I fear that your love is spent, love is spent
But I hope you'll carry on
Give it some time
Maybe a year
I know you hate who you've been
And I'm still filled with fear
I fear that you'll never mend, never mend
But I hope you'll prove me wrong
I fear that your love is spent, love is spent
But I hope you'll carry on
It hurt's to see you hurt like this
Pain is not worth holding on
I promised I'd be there for you
But I just don't know what to do
I fear that you'll never mend, never mend
But I hope you'll prove me wrong
I fear that your love is spent, love is spent
But I hope you'll carry on

I guess that's it
it's time to part
you lived and loved with all your heart
but now be on your way
we'll see each other some better day
just keep me in your memory
be yourself goddamn be free
don't worry about a thing
just wait and see what life will bring
and the clock on the wall keeps ticking
counting all those seconds
and tonight we sing
we'll be one year older
we'll be one year wiser
so raise your cup and celebrate
all together it's now or never
and the clock on the wall keeps ticking
counting all those seconds
and tonight we sing
we're never in the pictures that we take
but always in the memories we create
there's so much left for me to say to you
but I know you'll carry through (carry through)
I guess that's it
it's time to part
you lived and loved with all your heart
but now be in your way
we'll see each other some better day

Dear departed

I bid my last farewell
if you find me again
as a shadow of a man
know that I tried
