He leaves a key under the welcome mat
The front gate slightly open
He knows you won't come home
But it's all he knows
He can't see any different for now
It's like you knew somehow
You made an exit from suburbia
Without a note or message
The room still lingers with a sense of you
The photo in the hallway, still there
He joins his hands in prayer
We lower caskets down
We scatter dirt
We set routines in motion
It doesn't matter how or when or why
When time slips into nothing but you
What are we going to do?
May the road rise above to meet you there
The wind always at your back
May the sun shine upon your face
And may the rain fall soft upon you, my God
Until we meet again

I could see their faces everywhere
I felt every eye on me
But I still can't make eye contact
So I had to leave it be
They tell me the ways they know me
And how they've seen my face before
But the feeling isn't mutual
And I don't know them at all
And I've never felt
More like a monster
And you'll tell everyone
And you'll tell everyone
That's just the way it is
Ever since we were kids
That's just the way it is
So what's the difference
I could hear the noises building
Can't be faceless in this crowd
Can't hear specifics from the speaker
One more drop before I drown
They tell the ways they fear me
How I'm angry, uncontrolled
But I can't remember anything
Now I just want to go home
And I've never felt
More like a monster
And you'll tell everyone
And you'll tell everyone
That's just the way it is
Ever since we were kids
That's just the way it is
So what's the difference
We're just trying to sing
We're just trying to play
We're never gonna fit in
You look the other way
Now all you know
Is just a monster
'Cause you told everyone
'Cause you told everyone
I made a promise, a promise in truth
I would never go back, never go back
Never go back to you

I'm stitching up old wounds
That you tore straight at the seam
You only kept me close
'Cause I'm the enemy
I've been waiting
Imitating
The life I always wanted
You save face
Find someone to take my place
But now it's too late
To turn away
You hit the ground running
You know my guilt and shame
You watch me grind my teeth
You see my ugly body
Hold it against me
You've been waiting
And I hate it
It's your perfect situation
Now we're waiting
Navigating
Escape plots from the middle
You save face
Find someone to take my place
But now it's too late
To turn away
You save face
Find someone to seal my fate
But now it's too late
To play forgiving
You hit the ground running
You hit the ground running
You hit the ground running
You hit the ground running
You hit the ground bleeding

Outsource outrage
Increased delays
It's always the same
Log on, log off
Why now? Why not!
You can't make a change
So make a break! And stay the same!
Stick a slogan in
Don't mean anything
Eat junk, become junk
Stick a slogan in
Don't mean anything
Eat junk, become junk
You chose to stay
They got away
So easy to hate
White lie, white fence
No consequence
You're next in a queue
Then they'll forget all about you
Stick a slogan in
Don't mean anything
Eat junk, become junk
Stick a slogan in
Don't mean anything
Eat junk, become junk

Ignore me.

Thank you.

When I become what I've always hated
You become what you've always wanted
And I tried to make some sense
Of all this insignificance
You couldn't get away from this
You can't get away from this
I couldn't get away from this
I can't get away from this
And you still sing to me in my sleep
And you still think that these words mean anything
But to make the pieces fit
You have to break them down and start again
You couldn't get away from this
You can't get away from this
I couldn't get away from this
I can't get away from this
You won't remember this in the morning
But I will carry it with me
You won't remember this in the morning
But I will carry you with me
You couldn't get away from this
You can't get away from this
I couldn't get away from this

Now I don't like today anymore
And I can't wait until tomorrow for answers
But you still know the words to say
And you might always get your way
You wouldn't stumble if the earth moved below you
Am I the roses in the garden?
Are you the thorn that cuts my hand?
What will seal my fate?
Am I the longing ever-after?
Are you the one that gets away?
What will seal my fate?
Fade to white, fade to white
Maybe next year, you'll be fine
Fade to white, fade to white
Someday soon you'll be alright
I had a dream your flowers died
And I came 'round to see if they and you were still alive
I've still got you saved in my phone
But you won't answer if I call
Because you're number's still the same, but nothing else is
Am I the roses in the garden?
Are you the thorn that cuts my hand?
What will seal my fate?
Am I the longing ever-after?
Are you the one that gets away?
What will seal my fate?
Fade to white, fade to white
Maybe next year, you'll be fine
Fade to white, fade to white
Someday soon you'll be alright
Fade to white, fade to white
Maybe next year, you'll be fine
Fade to white, fade to white
Someday soon you'll be alright
Alright, alright
Alright
When it fades to white
It's gonna be alright
And now I wish that it was different
And I wish that we had time
But you're too far gone to the other side
The other side

Do you ever get the feeling
When you're waiting in the wings
You're not waiting for your moment
You're just waiting for God, oh
It's another Friday night
With another name that's up in lights
And yours is in the fine print
On some paper by the door
Maybe you'll never
Maybe you'll never be anything more
Maybe you'll never
Maybe you'll never be anything more
Do you ever get the feeling
When you see blood on the strings
That all your wounds are self-inflicted
A demise of your own doing
And your friends all feign interest
And they ask you when you're playing next
But when you look out from the stage
There's no feet out on the floor
Maybe you'll never
Maybe you'll never be anything more
Oh, maybe you'll never
Maybe you'll never be anything more
For this stone that (oh maybe)
You're pushing (you'll never)
Might crush you (be anything)
Might kill you (more)
For this stone that (oh maybe)
You're pushing (you'll never)
Might crush you (be anything)
Might kill you
Every failure is the same!
Every failure is the same!
Why did you even come to this place?
Every failure is the same!
Maybe you'll never
Maybe you'll never be anything

Wheels turning gravel against the ground
As the driver asks if I'm homeward bound
But it's not where my heart is anymore
Shaking in my seat in a silvertop
Singing from the south and getting out of dodge
I still go leaps and bounds to my door
There's a hole where my shadow used to be
And I fear that it might encompass me
Because I made my bed
But can't fall asleep in it
What if I don't wake
What if I don't wake
Heard a voice coming from another room
I saw the clouds gathering against the moon
And the sky blankly stared back again
Nights like this make me pathetic, man
I don't even know how this all began
But I've seen how it ends, and I know when
There's a hole burning right through me
And it's swallowing the cities and the seas
Now I've turned my back
But can't look around again
What if I don't wake
What if I don't wake
It's a long drive
I've a lot to think about
I'm an inconsistent narrator
In an inconsistent narrative
If I lived here, I'd be home
But I don't, I'm still alone
Just lingering at bus-stops
Just standing by a streetlight
Just waiting on my train ride
Just falling by the wayside
Just running for the next flight
Just waking in the sunshine
Just feeling next to nothing
Just hoping to feel something
More than this
Hoping to feel something more than this.
