The days grow short
Do you long for something better
We're losing warmth
It's the changing of the weather
And I know
Like leaves we come and go
Thoughts swirl
Around my head
Like dead leaves
Caught in a cool breeze
Rattling bare trees
I've always been bad about things like overthinking
Relax or you'll ruin it
Try to enjoy the time that you're given don't find
Reasons to why
You've failed in the past so it's pointless to try
But I keep thinking
In the morning
When the sun peeks through the curtains
Will you love me
Or will your heart feel uncertain
And I know
Like leaves we come and go
It's cyclical
And I'm running low on hope
Calmado corazón
No pierdas tu inhibición
Luz y claridad
Tu mente batalla por sinceridad
Yo se que ez duro
Pero respira profundo
Tienes que parar
Destruyes tu mente con tanto pensar
Disfruta el momento
No ay mucho tiempo
La vida es corta
Pierdes tu fe por lo que no importa
Controla tu emoción
No existe la perfección
Dudas te pesan
Puedes sentir mas que tristeza
And I'm trying to focus
On the warmth of your skin
As my finger nails
Trace the details
I'm taking mental pictures
To frame on display
As I melt into the floor boards with the day to day
But the silence never lasts long
Can't help but think
You'd never know the last time until it's too late
Until it's too late
But right now
With our fingers laced together
You're with me
And that's really all that matters
And I know
Like leaves we come and go
It's cyclical
And I'm running low on hope

And from the mountain billowed silver omens
And brought with them a bitter cold
As I stood, I watched them slowly close in
I'd never felt so all alone
Lately we've been so distant
I tried to resist it
But it's bringing me down
And you say you're not leaving
But every time feels like the last
I tried to be strong
But I couldn't hold it together
And if you're saying so long
Is it because I couldn't do better
Put on your bravest face
Tell me nothing will change
As I wave goodbye to a friend
I only hope that I'll see you again
I only hope that I'll see you again
And as the storm grew close
My friends all got further away
I tried chasing after
My legs got tired and soon gave way
To just footsteps
In the snow
Faded out
Long ago
And I'll melt away
Eventually
Will they
Forget me
I know you're trying to save me
The heartbreak but really
You're just dragging it out
You tell me to wait
Yea you say that you're coming back
But every day you get further away
I guess it's all in good faith
And as the storm grew close
My friends all got further away
I tried chasing after
It didn't mean a god damn thing
Why'd I think they'd stick around
In this boring mountain town
They were meant for better things
They were meant for someplace else
One by one my friends all fled
Said one day we'll meet again
I'm the only one that's left
In this town they'll soon forget
I should have known that they were leaving
I was frightened of the truth
If there's one thing that I've learned
It's that there's nothing you can do
Cannot stop the river freezing
Cannot stop the heart fleeting
Though I tore it from my chest
My bloody best
Wasn't enough for you
Just footsteps
In the snow
Faded out
Long ago
And I'll melt away
Eventually
Will they
Forget me
I only hope that I'll see you again

I knew the day was coming
But it seemed so distant then
Flowers are finally blooming
But my chest is caving in
I'm proud you got out wish I could say the same
Don't forget us while you're off doing better things
We got stuck doing jobs we fucking hate
While I'm sad to see you leaving me
You were meant for better things little honey bee
Seems like yesterday
We were kids at play
Making dumb mistakes
One day you wake up and things have changed
Friends are all going their separate ways
Spark in your eye lost little flame
Pain in your joints doesn't seem to fade
Drinking too much and it shows in your face
Time starts to fly
And in the blink of an eye
Seems like a lifetime
Has come and gone and passed me by
Seeds of influence sprouted and died
Missed in-between but I swear that I
Planned on being a bigger part of your life
Wanted to be someone you admire
Though I had all the best intentions I couldn't follow through
Now it's too late
You'll graduate
Move out of the state for the life that you'll make like you're supposed to do
Yea I had all the best intentions but I was too caught up
Now it's too late
You'll graduate
Move out of the state for the life that you'll make and forget about us
Flowers are finally blooming
But my chest is caving in
But at least it has been said
Got these truths off of my chest
Please just know I tried my best
And I hope that is enough
If not at least it has been said
Got these truths off of my chest
Please just know I tried my best
And I hope that is enough that you'll remember us

Through Man Made Storms

I can't sleep
Since you left I just keep on counting
The hours I've stared at the damn telephone
Waiting for you to call and tell me you're coming home
But it's silent
So I put back another pint then
I'm hearing voices as the spirits flow
Rhythm of the rain as the thunder rolls
Helps me drown
My mind out
At night
When I close my eyes
I still see your smile
I still hear your voice every once in a while
Rewind the time
Forget why we fight
Lay by my side we'll pretend it's alright
I dream of your eyes
Weary of lies
Tired of pretending that everything's fine
Your instincts said flight
You left in the night
Left me with only regret and desire
I'm left to wonder
If I eroded our future with every past mistake
You are the thunder
Your memory lingers like a ghost
Like lightning I hurt those around me
Leave only scars as broken clouds weep
My hand pours heavy like my heartbeat
I'm losing hope
I should forget you but I can't let go
Looking for you in my peripheral
Haunted by memories
My eyes deceive me
The rain keeps pounding
It's fine
I'm sorry you're right
I don't want to fight
Turn off the light and then kiss me goodnight
Wake up by my side
This nightmare behind
I'll melt in your arms as the sun starts to rise
I'd weather the storm just to pass through your eye
I'd weather the storm just to pass through it
I'm left to wonder
If I eroded our future with every past mistake
You are the thunder
Your memory lingers like a ghost

And Whatever Comes Next

Oh hands of mine quit shaking
Be still my racing heart
Here's to your new beginnings
Whether they're forced or not
365
Days gone by
Nothing but wasted time
Forgetful stories unfinished chapters
I know that everything ends
The good the bad and the rough
We weren't close to perfect
But I thought good enough
You turned the page but there was nothing left
Glossary of memories and unpaid debts
And now you're unsure of what comes next
But I'll be damned if I start over again
Pick up the broken pieces
Get out of my own head
I'm trying to be better
All I can do is pretend
Another year gone by
And what have I
To show for all my time
I'm sick of waiting to find the answers
You turned the page but there was nothing left
Glossary of memories and unpaid debts
And now you're unsure of what comes next
But I'll be damned if I start over again
