lyrics

INTRO I’m in dreamland so don’t wake me up I’m in dreamland so don’t wake me up If you see me I’m dreaming, I’m gone cause I’m in dreamland VERSE 1 I’ve been reliving in the past [So don’t wake me up] Stumbling down memory lane [So don’t wake me up] A fallen happy birthday banner And moments in boxes packed away Like we’re watching old home movies And you keep your finger on the rewind But fast forward, the movie’s over, and you’re still seeing scenes from another life Cause no one ever taught us how to say goodbye CHORUS When a good thing comes to an end How do you say goodbye When everything has changed And nothing’s right Losing youth taken by truth so we live our life through innocent eyes When a good thing comes to an end How do you say goodbye VERSE 2 The sentiment of mementos Keep this memory for my sake I’ll still have my memories but will they be right or a mistake The progression of life leaves us looking through a cracked lens But it’s pretty unclear where this life starts and the other one ends Is it right in my mind Or has time rewritten every line Cause no one ever taught us how to say goodbye CHORUS When a good thing comes to an end How do you say goodbye When everything has changed And nothing’s right Losing youth taken by truth so we live our life through innocent eyes When a good thing comes to an end How do you say goodbye BRIDGE Remember when Those were the days The parks and places we used to play The sun would set as the swings would sway And all our dreams were a cloud away Remember when As it all replays Wish we knew we were in the good old days Being young is just a memory Now we’re all in love with melancholy CHORUS When a good thing comes to an end How do you say goodbye When everything has changed And nothing’s right Losing youth taken by truth so we live our life through innocent eyes When a good thing comes to an end How do you say goodbye When a good thing comes to an end Is it goodbye OUTRO When a good thing comes to an end When a good thing comes to an end Comes to an end

lyrics

VERSE 1 How long am I gonna go on pretending that everything in this life is never ending Cause with loss comes a pain That I just can’t explain And I have no where to aim PRECHORUS I can’t remember your name It’s your face But it’s not the same I can’t remember your name CHORUS I can’t remember your name It’s your face But it’s not the same I can’t remember your name Things have changed Tell me who’s to blame I can’t remember VERSE 2 The nights, and the days, oh your eyes, how they fade As our time just slips away We can go to the same places, stare at faces not there It’s not fair Cause CHORUS I can’t remember your name It’s your face But it’s not the same I can’t remember your name Things have changed Tell me who’s to blame I can’t remember your name BRIDGE I can’t remember your name It’s your face But it’s not the same I can’t remember your name Things have changed Tell me who’s to blame I can’t remember OUTRO Who am I? (repeat)

lyrics

INTRO I swear to God I will be better for you I’m sorry for all that I’ve put you through Just know that this has always been for you And I will be better For you VERSE 1 Promises that I'll be better Never make it very far Optimism with no truth You just can't change who you are And I know you’re sick and tired of All my lies So am I, but this guilt won’t last cause It’s the last time Believe me It’s the last time Cause CHORUS Cause I’m better than I was yesterday And I’ll be even better tomorrow If only you could see What’s become of me I promised you And this time it’s true I’m gonna be better for you VERSE 2 Plans of intention with no action Become cyclical One step forward, three steps back It’s habitual These empty words I carry weigh so heavy on my chest But I mean it when I say one day I'll be at my best Cause you know I’m better than I was yesterday Cause you know I’m better than I was CHORUS Cause I’m better than I was yesterday And I’ll be even better tomorrow If only you could see What’s become of me BRIDGE I don’t know if you’re listening Or if you even hear me But I’m still talking in the hopes that you can clear me And if I were to ask you Would you help to steer me? Remind me what it’s like to feel peace Tomorrow will be different CHORUS Cause I’m better than I was yesterday And I’ll be even better tomorrow If only you could see What’s become of me OUTRO And I know I say this time and time again but I swear to God I’ll be better for you, my friend

TRACK 4 - THE THOUSAND YARD STARE 02:50
lyrics

INTRO An inner monologue Two sides in the wrong But it’s too late to hide The mask is off and I’m gone VERSE Are you afraid of the dark? They can’t see your scars You are safe in here There’s no need for fear Don’t go out there You’ll just get scared It’s the thousand yard stare CHORUS Knees to my chest, hold my breath Knees to my chest, I can see my death I can’t find home The mind I’ve lost is not my own VERSE Afraid of what you’ll see? Maybe you should be No one tells you the truth I only protect you They don’t really care What is this nightmare It’s the thousand yard stare CHORUS Knees to my chest, hold my breath Knees to my chest, I can see my death I can’t find home The mind I’ve lost is not my own OUTRO Far, far, far away You’re far, far, far away Far, far, far away I’m far, far far

VERSE 1 I feel Inside A place I can hide This is the end This is goodbye It hurts to move on But I’m gonna try VERSE 2 Memories On my heart They still tear me apart They took me By the hand They wanted me to understand And I know that you’re gone But it’s not the end It’s not the end CHORUS I’m alive POST CHORUS These memories will never let me go Melancholy dreams into tomorrow OUTRO But life continues, never the same, ever pressing towards hope.

lyrics

VERSE 1 I see myself in a dream Memories of lives I’m stuck between They’ll try to wake me up with things that they don’t mean But a touch of hope will keep me fast asleep INTERLUDE You’re not that far You’re not that far VERSE 2 Imaginations grown From my eyes, look how far we’ve roamed Will I be alone? But a touch of hope will guide me home CHORUS Imagine having the courage to dream To create the world inside of me Imagine Imagine Imagine OUTRO But this is my dream I’ll hum the melodies Until I hear them sing Welcome home
