Verse 1:
You say that nothing's gonna feel the same,
The plans you made went down the drain and nothing's stimulating your brain.
The lights are on but there's nobody home.
The world's collapsing at a growing rate,
Your sanity starts to deflate and it feels like no one can relate.
I'm here to remind you that you're not alone.
Pre-chorus:
When the world feels heavy and you feel too weak, while the ground beneath you starts to bend and creak.
The walls are getting tighter and plans are falling through.
I swear, the problem isn't you...
(It's just the world that we live in)
Chorus:
You're not the only one who's lost in the dark sometimes and looks for missing parts to fill the gaps in your mind.
But if you give it time then, darling, you might find it'll be just fine (It's just the world that we live in).
I know you're spiralling and feel like you've lost control and you wanna call "time out" on the war raging in your soul.
But if you stop the fight and give yourself a try,
You'll reach the other side (In the world that we live in).
Verse 2:
You think that everyone has figured out a way to wash off all the doubt and they know what this life is about.
But we're all guessing what to do as well.
So don't think that no one's there to give advice, that they don't care about your life and it would be a waste of their time.
You shouldn't face these problems by yourself.

Verse 1:
I hate to say this, but I think I'm starting to break.
It's getting much harder to tell myself to stay awake.
I need to see you but we need keep our distance.
Is this for the short term or is this just nonexistence?
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, we could be here for quite some time so I better tell you what's on my mind.
Chorus:
I'm too tired to speak and I'm far too stressed to get some sleep.
It gets a little hard to breathe through the weary eyes and clenching teeth.
I start to feel weak as the panic strikes and hits the peak.
But that's just a part of me.
That's just a part of me.
Verse 2:
I'm so dependent.
I've not seen my friends in so long.
Is it Monday or Friday?
The weekdays all blend into one.
Am I being stupid? 'Cause I know that there's bigger problems.
But fear's only worsened by TV and online forums.
Bridge:
Will I be alright? Will I be ok?
At this point in time it is too soon to say.
I hope that I will and that this will end soon, but until that day I will be here locked in this room.

Avoiding My Heart
04:05
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Your name keeps making my heart break but it is a mistake to leave you out of my life.
'Cause my head keeps thinking about you and everything you do is looping inside my mind.
Pre-chorus:
Don't wanna spend all of my time thinking of what I'd do if I saw you again.
So I keep the thought inside because it is easier to lie and say that...
Chorus:
Avoiding My Heart (Avoiding My Heart)
Is the best thing I've done (The best thing I've done)
Verse 2:
I want to resist temptation and limit frustration when things don't work out for us.
But you are a beauty that I can't resist and I wonder if this is love or lust.
Bridge:
I would like to get to know you and let love begin.
But I know that it would only hurt me if I ever let you in.
I won't let you win.
Outro:
Now I must admit to you that you've won so I'm gonna give you all of my love.
Giving you my heart's the best thing I've done.
I give you my heart.

Trigger Happy

Verse 1:
Pride is a loaded gun and you handle it like a newborn son.
You take aim at anyone that argues with how things are done.
Your friends have gone to war over something that's not worth fighting for while human rights are being ignored.
This endless routine has got me bored.
Pre-chorus:
Because damage is just a click away and you think that you've got something to say.
Well I doubt we could stop you anyway, so we'll watch as you blow us all away.
Chorus:
You're so trigger happy,
You think your words are gold.
You're so trigger happy,
I think you're gonna explode.
You're so trigger happy,
But I can take the blow
You're so trigger happy.
So come on then! Go boy go!
Verse 2:
I like to go online and fight with strangers from time to time.
I hit them right between the eyes if their values are different from mine.
I'd like to give it up but this hobby has now become a drug and I cannot get enough.
So I'll log on and take it in my blood.
Bridge:
Pour more fuel into the fire.
Watch those flames burn higher and higher.
As they earn from our desires, we contribute to their empire.
Tag:
Because I'm so triggered, I'm trigger happy
And you're so triggered, you're trigger happy
And they're so triggered, they're trigger happy
Everybody's trigger happy.

Verse 1:
I can't write the first line of what I want to say to you and that's why this has taken me a year.
'Cause this is the first time that I've had to say goodbye to someone that I held so dear.
Part of me believes that you live around the corner, the other part accepts that you're not there.
Chorus:
So wherever you are, I know that you're not far.
I hope that you're proud of me and the person I long to be.
Though it seems like we're apart, I hold you in my heart with all of the memories that you chose to make with me.
Verse 2:
You were the centre of my life and family so that's why we think something's missing now.
Your laughter, your kindness, your humour are just some of the things I wish we could relive somehow.
Your photographs are hung up on our wall but your lavender still lingers in these halls.
Bridge:
If only I could see you now to tell you everything about how life has changed so much since you went away.
People change and time moves on, but don't assume that you're long gone because you're remembered in each step we take.
Outro:
So won't you take care, my love (x2)
Take care, my love

Time Keeps Moving

|

|
Verse 1:
I feel change is coming but I don't want it yet.
There's still things I haven't done and things I should've said.
But what hurts most, I find, is wrapping up the last few years of life and leaving all my closest friends behind.
Why can't I stay here?
Chorus:
I'm scared to say goodbye to the ones I love because they've been my life for oh so long.
Now I wish life could stay this way, but I know that time keeps moving, so I'll keep moving along.
Verse 2:
I see the future coming, but not all of it is there.
It came around so quickly that I don't feel prepared.
And I know it's easier now to feel connected but close friends can fade out when you least expect it.
It's inevitable but something I still fear.
Bridge:
Who knew when I signed up how quickly this would fly by.
So I will say farewell for now but I hope we'll meet again some time.

The Other Side

|
Verse 1:
I've been trying for the longest time to work out what's wrong with me.
Now I begin to realise I'm not where I'm meant to be.
People keep telling me that "it gets better" but I don't think I agree.
Still, I will keep an open mind and hope that the pasture's green.
Chorus:
But wall after wall, I start to wonder why I try.
I know I won't fall.
I'm just trying to get to the other side of it all.
Just trying to get to the other side of it all.
Just trying to get to the other side.
Verse 2:
I've been thinking for the longest time that it might be time to stop.
'Cause so far it feels like I am miles from even reaching the top.
I must admit that I am growing weary and things are looking quite bleak.
Still people say the view gets clearer once I'm over the peak.
Bridge:
Whatever the outcome, whatever the cost.
Despite all the fear and despite what we've lost.
We'll get back up again and although we're not through, we'll keep on pushing because of one simple truth...
Outro:
We're gonna make it to the other side
