Intro (This Time Around)

This time around I’ve got it figured out
Nothing can pull me down
I am the king with a broken crown
But you can’t turn my smile into a frown
I hope that this is the last time that I speak about you
I wish that this could be the last thought that I think about you
I don’t wanna give away another second of my time
This time around it’s a brand new chance
To leave it all behind
I am the one who is in control
And I have taken hold
Yeah I have taken hold
I hope that this is last time that I speak about you
I wish that this could be the last thought that I think about you
But it’s too bad that I know myself well enough to know that it ain’t true
I don’t wanna give away another second of my time
I’ve been trying to figure out the reasons
Why you did everything that you did
Now I know that it’s because
You’re nothing but a joke
And you ain’t even got a punch line
It took too long to understand
What I really need the most
Is to speak the honest truth
That’s what they say will set you free
And down inside I know it’s true
But it doesn’t change how hard it is
When I walked away
I didn’t know the words to say
I felt the day
Was quickly drawing to its end
Knowing what needs to be done
This is just the first step of many more
We ain’t out of the woods just yet
I bear the burden of the past and the things that I became
And I let them all remind me
That even with a leech living inside
The choice will always remain mine
And my shadow will live without me
No matter how it may come to an end
No doubt my words will never die
I’ve got it down this time around

Honestly

Everyone I know slipped through the cracks and fell off of the wagon somewhere halfway down the road
I said that I was never coming back
But I just couldn’t seem to stay on track
And I’ve been lying to myself
If I had known back then
Everything that I know now
I could’ve saved myself so much time
That’s all in the past
And there’s no point in looking back
Since you’re nothing but ashes in the wind
I’ve got nothing left to lose and I don’t have the time left to waste so I won't waste any more
I just want to see this through to the end so maybe when I’m done you will see who I have been
I let another summer slip away from me again
I got another enemy who used to be a friend
I hate to say it became a trend
I keep it all inside because I don’t want you to know
I’ve seen that you don’t care and you don’t even know it shows
So just stay out of my way
Just show me a little honesty and we might get back to how we used to be
But I don’t think you care enough to even try so I won’t waste my breath
I’ve got nothing left to lose and I don’t have the time left to waste so I won't waste any more
I just want to see this through to the end so maybe when I’m done you will see who I have been
There’s no more time left so I won’t waste it
Honestly I just might make it
I don’t care how you think I should live my life

Sell what little you have left
Of yourself and of your time
Give up what you really love
Keep on feeding yourself the line
Just stay safe, it’s all fine
Nothing good will come from this
Treat me just like what I am
Nothing more than vermin in a trap
Feed me poison snap my neck
Cut me off from what I am
To keep me in the dark below
Bait the trap with what I need the most
Every time I’ve had the chance to make a change I let it all slip right through my hands
There's no sun to guide my eyes
So I’m learning to see inside
And how to make the best of what I’ve got
Treat me just like what I am
Nothing more than vermin in a trap
Feed me poison snap my neck
Cut me off from what I am
To keep me in the dark below
Bait the trap with what I need the most

Make It

Remember how it used to be?
All those years ago embraced in harmony
I miss your voice
I miss all the time we spent my friend you were the one
That I could be myself around
Now I stumble through the darkness and you’re still nowhere to be found
When you think that you know how to make it
But you just end up alone
It gets a little harder to fake it
Just admit it that you’re flesh and bone
What’s the price you pay for all the things you’ve done?
And when do you finally say that enough is enough?
What if I promised you that one day I’d be
So much more than just the broken man you see?
Would you still be around?
Would I have gone another route or would have things just stayed the same?
It doesn’t matter anyway
When no matter what I do I’m still standing here with nothing left to say
When you think that you know how to make it
But you just end up alone
It gets a little harder to fake it
Just admit it that you’re flesh and bone
What’s the price you pay for all the things you’ve done?
And when do you finally say that enough is enough?
All my life I’ve been left to figure these things out
There was never a hand to guide me when I needed it the most
But now that I can see you for who you really were
I can say that you never deserved to be there anyway
