Coming Home 03:13
There's a place that's far from my home A little place that I can call my own Somewhere I found a long the way I've fought, i've failed, i've tried All these years so strong by your side But now you say I'm in the way I keep coming home to you Wishing my life away on you Get in line, or get out of my way I've had it up to here with you And being down on my knees for you I've been here plenty before So come what god damn may There's something in this house that holds me back As I try to make my way outside But it feels like losing when I win I know you said you've tried To be the one that stays here by my side But you say it's me that's gotta break Come what may You'll be jealous forever Come what may It gets better and better Come what may Yeah let's say it together Come what may You're wasting, wasting my time

So you're sorry for yourself What a pity that you're just not good enough Tell me again why you taste so bitter What do you think you really deserve? It's obvious - Don't you make me laugh, your arrogance is wearing me out Just ask yourself "Am I really crazy, or am I simply just in denial?" I'll stand here soaking up your sadness (just scream at me) There's nowhere I'd rather be So give up your fury and your madness (your misery) You can take it out on me What a shame you're getting old You've hit 23, you're certainly of an age to agree That it takes time Are you truly scared or just in love with your apathy? I'll stand here soaking up your sadness (just scream at me) There's nowhere I'd rather be So give up your fury and your madness (your misery) You can take it out on me Say, hey, misery Say, hey, misery Say, hey, misery Still there's nowhere Nowhere There's nowhere I'd rather be I'll stand here soaking up your sadness (just scream at me) There's nowhere I'd rather be So give up your fury and your madness (your misery) You can take it out on me

You left me on my own Where you went I'll never know You cut me off and it's not fair I tried to make it work But after all these years You make me feel Worthless Like I'm just your average boy But if you're worthless You better show me you deserve it I left you on your own Crossed the ocean, sails and oar I didn't think you'd ever care But I cared enough to notice You swore to me I was something better Now you write me off like I'm not there I tried to make it work But after all these years You make me feel Worthless Like I'm just your average boy But if you're worthless You better show me what you're made of Worthless I'm not here for you to play with me Tired, bleeding just to feel Stand and show me, show me you deserve it I've got this sinking feeling nothing's gonna change (I've got this sinking feeling nothing gonna change) So go on love, let your oceans crash their waves (I'm going now, just let it wash away) I've got this sinking feeling we'd end up the same (I've got this sinking feeling we'd end up the same) So like you've always done, just rain on my parade Worthless Like I'm just your average boy But if you're worthless You better show me what you're made of Worthless I'm not here for you to play with me Tired, bleeding just to feel Stand and show me, show me you deserve it

You've been hiding away, away where I can't find you And bring you back to the pain you left when you ripped my body apart You drowned cities, you destroyed lives And made hell a wanted paradise Now you look surprised to find me here I just couldn't resist I've been waiting on you, waiting for the right time To lay your bones down and finally make it right I've been searching for so long, fighting what's been wrong But I can't raise the dead Let me take you right back, back to the beginning To the place where our science began And I knew you better than you think We made real progress, we discovered new skies And time and space were paralysed We fell so far away from there, But I just couldn't forget I've been waiting on you, waiting for the right time To lay your bones down and finally make it right I've been searching for so long, fighting what's been wrong But I can't raise the dead I wanna see you violent, yeah I wanna see you raging I wanna see you lose it I wanna see you hate me I gave you love But you threw it right back in my face Was I not enough? I wanna see you violent, yeah I wanna see you raging (I've been waiting on you, waiting for the right time) I wanna see you lose it I wanna see you hate me (To lay your bones down and finally make it right) I gave you love But you threw it right back in my face Was I not enough? I can't raise the dead

Oh, Anxiety 04:38
You left me so alone Fighting on my own Days and weeks and months But still you don't show any sign at all I've learned to try Learned to wash away the mystery Pull myself aside Ignore the thoughts, forget my history But I'm slipping all the time My hands don't feel like mine Wishing everyday, wishing I could myself say You're not alone, you're not alone Are you there? Are you even listening? I thought you cared Show your face, be brave for once 'Cause it not our time to lose And I'm not going to lose you again I'm losing all the time My hands don't feel like mine Wishing everyday, wishing I could myself say You're not alone, you're not alone If I can't fight it away Well I guess I'll just push through, and take it like any other day If you can't come back to me Well I know that I can be someone strong We're all trying all the time When our thoughts don't feel so right Wishing everyday, wishing we could hear ourselves say You're not alone, you're not alone You're not alone.

I had a dream of colours falling Filling my eyes with things I had never seen And in that moment when the world spinning The lines they blurred and freedom I could suddenly So I said goodbye to the gravity below To resistance and to every anxious thought I've ever known (I had a dream) That my body was weightless The air I breathed was glowing with a silver light And all my tears were floating around me Up and away into the light of the moon above Goodbye to the gravity below To resistance and to every anxious thought I've ever known I said goodbye to fear wasting me away Thanks for all the time you spent showering me with shame I can't stay on my own this time I can't stay on my own this time Goodbye to the gravity below To resistance and to every anxious thought I've ever known I said goodbye to fear wasting me away Thanks for all the time you spent showering me with shame
