Dear Friend, 01:20
These words I write are nothing but a weapon; a lie I wrote just to pass the time & now it seems you've caught every single bullet One shot for every useless line Its times like these I can barely keep on my feet Cause nothings the way that it seems These growing pains will slowly bring us back down One day we'll find out what is left for us

Feeling let down; misunderstood, despite my good intentions Chasing sanity down dead end streets, This voice tells me To wash away this sense of trust and put you back in your place Swallow pride to spit back in your face I'm so sick of folding maps Just trying to get closer Learned the Worlds not flat As I've gotten older Relinquish bitter memories & keep them buried six feet down That way You'll never slip through my skin again Open wide to bite the bullet Brace myself this time around Keep my feet on the ground & my head held up high I'm so sick of folding maps Just trying to get closer Learned the Worlds not flat As I've gotten older I've held this is for far too long I've hit my breaking point this time & I'm getting by with no thanks to you I've been out done and put down but thats got me where I am now

What's left to say When its all been said & who's left to talk When friendship is dead I've watered down your courage With a shot of humbleness So take the knife out of my back & stab me in the chest I won't apologize for what I've done There's no use fighting for What can't be won This empty room has left us drained As silence echoes through my veins I'm losing sight & losing hope From every word that you spoke You've picked the best of times To get the worst in me Because you're more trouble than you're worth Twenty years of brotherhood Thrown all away Leave me what is left From this mistake I've done my time and proven That you're not what we expect So tell me who's choked up From your hands around my neck I won't apologize for what I've done There's no use fighting for What can't be won This empty room has left us drained As silence echoes through my veins I'm losing sight & losing hope From every word that you spoke You've picked the best of times To get the worst in me Because you're more trouble than you're worth We wont apologize For what's been done There's no use in fighting For what can't be won There's no use fighting for this

Been spending long nights Perfecting a formula To this ruined lifestyle Consume two parts teen angst & gouge out this chip on my shoulder Well its not easy letting go When no ones even hanging on Yeah its not easy letting go When no ones even hanging on I'm only lying to myself Because I'm the only one who's foolish enough to believe it & I don't know where I'm going or what's going on Just tell me where I should be now Well they say history repeats But I'm stuck in this defeat So its safe to say I've learned you can't be a memory If you've done nothing to remember Well its not easy letting go When no ones even hanging on Yeah its not easy letting go When no ones even hanging on I'm only lying to myself Because I'm the only one who's foolish enough to believe it & I don't know where I'm going or what's going on Just tell me where I should be now Well I've reached my breaking point this time These growing pains have brought me back down & I will never apologize Just tell me where I should be now
