Weighed Down 04:32
raindrops falling on the ground i don't hear a single sound i can't seem to move today i can't help it, I could help it time is slipping through my hands when will I get to my plans I'll just get through things today maybe later, someday later she said here you go again you should try now and then I said here I go again say it's the way it's always been

I never thought I'd leave you I never thought you'd like me you are not the same we are not the same I cant believe it, baby I hardly know you, baby things are not the same we are not the same but i still care what we shared it's so easy to lose friends so hard to make new ones people stray away dont see them day to day daydream what you are doin' 'bout life before the routine do you do the same? still think of me and dream? I still care what we shared maybe I've changed and you've stayed the same

i can't remember the last time i woke up stretched and felt fine weight below my eyes drag myself and try unsure of where im goin' or what I should be doin' keeps me up at night tell myself its alright but I start to feel the stress tightness in the chest oh I can't get myself to focus cause im so caught up in what I fear i wake up every night past ten cant shake the feeling that this'll never end you say you're leaving and your done with me i gasp for breath but i guess it was a dream as i face my fears hopefully this stress will start to dissipate if i make my goals realistically maybe it will alleviate i wake up every night past ten cant shake the feeling that this'll never end you say you're leaving and your done with me i gasp for breath but i guess it was a dream tell myself its alright but I start to feel the stress tightness in the chest oh I can't get myself to focus cause im so caught up in what I fear as i face my fears hopefully this stress will start to dissipate if i make my goals realistically maybe it will alleviate

Lie to Me 04:26
I never had to second guess the way I felt when I first met you I knew you had the perfect smile and motivated me to be more but when you weren't around a wave of doubt would come, and swallow me all the fears I hid behind would come right back and start their crippling I'm nothing that you haven't heard before, heard before but I still feel and need to be adored be adored I never could create something without being afraid of how you feel I've always had such envy of all the confidence you've always held but I know I've got to try to hold onto that faith you put in me I hope the fears I hide behind don't come right back and start to swallow me I'm nothing that you haven't heard before, heard before but I still feel and need to be adored be adored so lie to me and tell me that I'm fresh and that I'm cool I second guess it all, feel like a fool, feel like a fool so lie to me and tell me that I'm fresh and that I'm cool say that you love me say that you love me

I hope I'll be I hope I will be brave as my friends brave as all my friends if I don't go if I don't go maybe she will leave I'll be left empty if i dont try if i dont try to face my fears cause my whole life cause my whole life I have dodged myself ignore what causes stress i am hopefull ill be able to treat it like anyone else learned to i gotta be hopefull ill be able to treat it like everyone else seems to able to cause my whole life cause my whole life i have dodged myself ignore what causes stress if i dont try if i dont try to face my fears i will be ashamed i am hopefull ill be able to treat it like anyone else learned to i gotta be hopefull ill be able to treat it like everyone else seemed to able to cause my whole life cause my whole life i have dodged myself if i dont try if i dont try to face my fears i will be ashamed

I dreamt of this over and over and it's still so vivid to me but now that it's over it's over I still have to cross the sea
10.
I can't believe I finally swallowed my fear at least for once no longer trapped I'll fly away I'll see the world and learn some things what a dumb cause of all this stress I'm so relieved and embarrassed no longer trapped I'll fly away I'll be with her I'll be ok but I know I'll still be afraid but I know it'll all be ok
