I've given everything I can
Just to try to make this happen
But you wouldn't even lift a hand
As you watch our foundations cracking
And oh
Isn't it a shame
You built me up so tall
Just to take it all away
And now it seems that hope
Is something I've misplaced
I left behind my soul
To be blinded by my faith
I'll always be there and don't you know it
And don't you know it and don't you know it
You say that you care but I hate the way you show it
I hate the way ya I hate the way ya show it
Consumed by regrets you bestow it
You bestow it
Taking half of my heart to make me twice the poet
I've given up on who I am
I blamed myself to bridge the gap in
I find it hard to understand
Why should I question myself for the answers I'm lacking
And oh
Isn't it a shame
I left behind my soul
To be blinded by my faith
I'll always be there and don't you know it
And don't you know it and don't you know it
You say that you care but I hate the way you show it
I hate the way ya I hate the way ya show it
Consumed by regrets you bestow it
You bestow it
Taking half of my heart to make me twice the poet
Oooo you know it
And don't you know it and don't you know it
You say that you care but I hate the way you show it
I hate the way ya I hate the way ya show it
Consumed by regrets you bestow it
You bestow it
Taking half of my heart to make me twice the poet
Make me twice the

So Close

Oh
If you wanted to
You'd shine a little light into our eyes
Inspire us and give a little time
Let the seeds grow in our jungle minds
So close
You can't live off loose change boy
Gotta let it rain for a parade
Work till you feel that strain uh
Provide repeat remain
And I think it's time we see a change
As you bleach young minds and leave blank stains
Aspirations bound by chains
Our hearts will never beat the same
So close
Yet so far
Misguided by the doubts that eat you up
Don't aim too high
Don't aim too low
They say the sky's the limit
Yet prohibit what they've sold
Ohh
And it's down to you
To guide us and inspire us to try
To question us and make us reach for why
Let our imagination run wild
A stone's throw we're
So close
You've gotta work through that pain girl
Gotta keep a smile on that pretty face
Oo and when you've worked till you're drained oh
You won't be paid the same
And I think it's time we see a change
As you bleach young minds and leave blank stains
Aspirations bound by chains
Our hearts will never beat the same
And I think it's time we see a change
As you bleach young minds and leave blank stains
Aspirations bound by chains
Our hearts will never beat the same
And I think it's time we see a change
As you bleach young minds and leave blank stains
Aspirations bound by chains
Our hearts will never beat the same

How can I stick it out
Eyes closed
How can I stick it out
Why am I here
Drawn behind the curtains so near
Everything is ordered by time
Everything is ordered by time
And how could I fear
A fate of which I have no idea
Pay the price and answer your crime
Pay the price and answer your
How can I stick it out
With my eyes closed
Watching time ticking up
What do you know
Tryna figure out what I can
There's no hope
So how can I stick it out
With my eyes closed
Did I ever do you wrong
We always used to get along
But now your look's so cold
It's chilling me down to the bone
I thought that you'd miss me
How could this ever come to be
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you cared
I thought that you
How can I stick it out
With my eyes closed
Watching time ticking up
What do you know
Tryna figure out what I can
There's no hope
So how can I stick it out
With my eyes closed

Headspace

Time flies
Living lies
Lay me down
Strip my eyes
Drips and lines
Drowning flys
Hang me up
Pin the crime
I don't wanna play
There's moments I get locked in my own cage
Knocked down by a crave
Fractured all the weeks fade into days
Censoring a face
Muffled words caught up in a parade
Broken and dismayed
Clearing out the rubble with a rake
When I concede
As the life drains from my face
I never wanted things to be this way
And all that I need
Is the drive to try escape
But I'm lost drifting off in my headspace
I don't wanna play
There's moments I get locked in my own cage
Knocked down by a crave
Fractured all the weeks fade into days
Censoring a face
Muffled words caught up in a parade
Broken and dismayed
Clearing out the rubble with a rake
When I concede
As the life drains from my face
I never wanted things to be this way
And all that I need
Is the drive to try escape
But I'm lost drifting off in my headspace
When I concede
As the life drains from my face
I never wanted things to be this way
And all that I need
Is the drive to try escape
But I'm lost drifting off in my headspace
