Stuck in a Daydream

I've been searching for a while now
The only thing I've ever found
Was another reason to keep searching
You think you got everything figured out
We're floating down the river now
Drowning in the choices that we made
Is there anything or anyone that can explain to me
How to cross the road with both eyes closed
I need to snap out of it and get a grip, I'm losing it
But I'm stuck in a daydream everyday
I'm hanging on mountains, reaching for clouds
I've started a fire that I can't stop now
I'm burning up but not burning out
I never want to hear the odds, I'll take a chance on what I've got
Is there anything or anyone that can explain to me
How to cross the road with both eyes closed
I need to snap out of it and get a grip, I,m losing it
But I'm stuck in a daydream everyday
Too many times I've tried but couldn't make it
Another lie I tell myself to fake it
Don't forget this 'cause I'll regret this
I tell myself it's all too much to hold down
It slips away but I'm still holding on now
All or nothing, we all stand for something

Out of Reach

Blank spaces fill the path ahead of me
Nowhere to rest my head, nowhere to place my feet
I can only hope that these steps I keep taking won't lead me there
I've been watching this whole time
Doing nothing at all, standing on the sidelines
And this distance grows between me and the past
Looking forward never looking back
(Hold me down) I've been sinking
(Turn around) I'm still spinning
(There's silence now) but I'm screaming louder than I ever have
I'm just trying to get by, but do I even stand a chance
And if I'm letting go this time, I'm holding on to all I can
I just want to believe that there's something to believe
But I'm losing faith in myself
I don't want to believe that this is all I can be
But at least I'm standing now
Pretending never gets you far
A poor excuse for lying from the start
Remember life isn't free
And I would sell it all if I could have this to keep
Let it out, breathe it in
I'm so sick of this feeling
And I'm thinking 'bout leaving
I'm just trying to get by, but do I even stand a chance
And if I'm letting go this time, I'm holding on to all I can
I just want to believe that there's something to believe
But I'm losing faith in myself
I don't want to believe that this is all I can be
But at least I'm standing now
So many things I didn't say
But I don't regret anything
There has to be another way
To keep this from slipping away (away)
Away from me, but I'm still standing out of reach
Give me something to believe again

Nowhere Left to Hide

There's nowhere left to hide
You're out of luck this time
I don't have much but I have my pride
I'm just a man who believes that there is more we can see
Take a step back (take a step back) and just keep your eyes on me
Face the facts, things will never go back
To the way they always used to be
In time you're going to have to see
The changes never stop so don't give up
You must believe there's so much waiting to be seen
The medicine that I can't find is waiting here inside
But I can't open up this door within my chest holding in my very best
Keeping me from being who I thought you all were seeing
Face the facts, things will never go back
To the way they always used to be
In time you're going to have to see
The changes never stop so don't give up
You must believe there's so much waiting to be seen
The perfect crime, the great escape
You can't take back the steps you take
Retrace the outline of my mind and tell me what you find
And I can't help but ask you why, why you have to lie
You keep on lying to yourself
A constant self-inducing hell
Rip off the shackles that you wear
And you will see the world so clear
Face the facts, things will never go back
To the way they always used to be
In time you're going to have to see
The changes never stop so don't give up
You must believe there's so much waiting to be seen
There's nowhere left to hide (there's nowhere left to hide)
There's nowhere left to hide

Never Learn
04:38

I'm standing on my own
While everyday this weakness grows
But I am not alone
So are you ready to get going?
I don't know what else to say
'Cause words mean nothing anyway
Can't you see I'm not the same
Just take a second and you'll know it
And I can not describe just why I keep lying to myself
'Cause trust has to be earned
I guess I'll never learn
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said to you
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said, I'm just confused
And I've been waiting all along to say that it's alright
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything
Stop pretending, the truth is hard to fake
The perfect ending is the one you wrote a day too late
Do you understand I don't think I can be the only one that tries to keep
My head from sinking down below my shoulders?
(And how can you) How can you replace something you never had
In the first place? (In the first place)
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said to you
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said, I'm just confused
And I've been waiting all along to say that it's alright
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything
So do you understand I don't understand a single thing
I've said these past few years?
My words have no action and that is a fraction of all the
Promises that disappeared
I'm standing on my own
While everyday this weakness grows
But I am not alone
So are you ready to get going?
And I can not describe just why I keep lying to myself
'Cause trust has to be earned
I guess I'll never learn
