You wanted everything No more than any one you saw There can’t be anything wrong with a fire That’s guarding what’s gained You’re on one lying awake Servant to earn ground on any mistake that’s made And yet somehow in your mind you’re fine You’ll say that it’s fine Except you’ve got a reckless heart Greed at every turn inside And there ain’t nothing to appease your time, no Well, this is no way to live No way no You’re barely out on your own Well, this is no way to live No way no You’re barely out on your own Well this is no way to Somebody gave in, somebody broke Too bad they haven’t learned all the ropes I’ve never taken what wasn’t owed Taken what’s mine but who’s to decide Now you hear a whisper’s doubt Playing on your nerves too proud Nothing to appease your time, no Well, this is no way to live No way no You’re barely out on your own Well, this is no way to live No way no You’re barely out on your own Just leave it behind Been going backwards all your life Just leave it behind You’re going backwards You think you’re better now Oh, you think you’re better how But you save nothing at all You keep covering up It’s always never enough This is no way to live No way no You’re barely out on your own Well, this is no way to live No way no You’re barely out, oh you’re barely out All their built intentions Dreams you never had to plan No no, well this is no way to live All your false inventions Just bleed it out and understand No

I can’t stand behind this curtain Anymore since you tore it down Never planned to be this person Keeping things I needed so in doubt, in doubt There’s always more to what you see inside Feeding back again until I’m out of time Wear you down Wear you down I’ll wear you out ’Til we start from nothing Wear you down Wear you down I’ll wear you out ’Til we start from nothing I don’t care about it Go and leave it all on the line What’s unfair about it? Heard you loved it every time Face it as it is, thought you’d nothing to lose All caught up in the fantasy of what you could do Careless with the thing that you never knew could Wear you down Wear you down I’ll wear you out ’Til we start from nothing Wear you down Wear you down I’ll wear you out ’Til we start from nothing ’Til we start from nothing ’Til we start from nothing Pictures hanging in our hall, I crawl by Drawing each and everyone to recall I wanna match the pose you make I never want to fake you out I’ve learned anew a lot I thought I knew about Forgot the best is when it's just you around What do I do now to make this turn out? Wear you down Wear you down I’ll wear you out ’Til we start from nothing Wear you down Wear you down I’ll wear you out ’Til we start from nothing ’Til we start from nothing ’Til we start from nothing

Man Like You 04:15
To take a life Forsake whatever makes you feel their rights You’ve not been waiting just to cave and die Balanced on one confession Only one invention new I need a man A man like you are (just shift and shape my mirror) In sickness and health At peace with myself A man like you are (when limits take me nearer) In love with again With nothing to mend What have you heard about me? Breathe again Shed any evanescent memory left Free overtop of seething past regrets You’ve got all new conditions Not a fool's contrition due I need a man A man like you are (just shift and shape my mirror) In sickness and health At peace with myself A man like you are (when limits take me nearer) In love with again With nothing to mend (What have you heard about me?) What have you heard? When you are high or low Nothing to keep afloat Just listen to me And when it's all a guess When you’d bend for less Know I won’t leave All my life, start it again All my life, start it again Over this, let it end All my life, start it again (All my life is more than this I know my life is more than this) All my life, start it again (All my life is more than this I know my life is more than this)

All my lying have you caught it yet Or am I safe at least for a while? Yeah the puzzle have you solved it yet? It’s nothing close to what makes me proud I hear alarms going off in my head Like you’re close I see your view of a former me Oh, of that I’m a ghost But oh you’re a heart out of heaven, it’s wild Honestly lover You’re a heart out of heaven That I’ve been missing forever You’re a heart out of heaven, it’s wild Honestly lover Lit the sky on fire to seize your eyes Been growing tired of swimming back Had to kill the clock before ourselves I cut the rope to my only pass Now every step hits glass A million traps surround me Too many I’s to see And now I’m sailing the winds of where I used to roam And now I’m sailing the winds of where I used to roam But oh you’re a heart out of heaven, it’s wild Honestly lover You’re a heart out of heaven That I’ve been missing forever You’re a heart out of heaven, it’s wild Honestly lover Black out all the windows Tie me down And open up my eyes Put a stop in time Drain out all my reasons Purify Keep me close by your side And open up my eyes I’m out, out of my covers All I’ve left is by your side You’re not, no you’re not just another Oh no you’re not just another light 'Cause you're a heart out of heaven, it's wild Honestly lover Yeah you're a heart out of heaven, it's wild Honestly lover
