You’re just a hanging thought now You’re just a fragment in my mind Oh my mind Did you mean to steal All that I was before your love Or did you mean to heal All that I’ve lost along the way Linger Like a hair on my shoulder
2.
I’m thankful for Every lesson you shared I’m thankful for Every moment you were there Never scared But you were to light up my sky With your fire Oh you Were to light up my sky With your fire You were to light up my sky With your fire Oh you were to light up my sky With your fire Oh you were to light up my sky With your fire Oh you were to light up my sky With your fire I’m thankful for Every lie you ever told Truth unfolds And I’m thankful for Every moment you were cold Now I’m bold But you stole the light from my sky No desires Oh you stole the light from my sky Now I’m tired oh You were to light up my sky With your fire Oh you were to light up my sky With your fire
3.
From all directions comes the wind A new light, new wave from within The questions don’t matter When the answers don’t exist So try to believe That you’re still in this From all directions comes the wind No more tearing at yourself from within A change is in order for all your sins So tell my why you still think you can win
4.
Draw a line in the sand Show me how you feel Say you’re fine take my hand Show me that it’s real But you don’t think I’m warm enough for you No you don’t think I’ve got a clue No Pick a side claim your land This is how you heal Made up your mind you won’t bend It’s the same old spiel no But you don’t think I’d hold the line For you No you don’t think I want this truce No
5.
Sit on your fragile throne Your word means nothing Your rule Comes to an end Don’t fight it now Your time is done The truth Comes out Sit on your fragile throne Sit on your fragile throne Before it shatters Oh you’ll reap All that you’ve sown Don’t fight it now Your time is done They’ll leave you To rot in the sun Sit on your fragile throne Sit on your fragile throne Sit on your fragile throne Reflect Don’t hold a grudge Oh how did you get here Do you even know
6.
Drift down You’re not in control Float on Find your footing at the shore And you don’t belong here anymore These strange tides will pull you down with their force The force to change time Change this time The force to change time Change this time Drift down There’s nowhere to go Go on Let the pressure take control And you made your bed here on your own These strange tides will pull you down with their force The force to change time Change this time The force to change time Change this time
7.
Lie awake No matter where we are Set in stone All these visions from afar And we both know This is how it has to end No more chasing shadows with our minds And we both know This is where our lives begin Cause I’ll be The perfect stranger No more chasing shadows with our minds The perfect stranger Only passing by Pay me no mind I’ll be the perfect stranger No more chasing shadows in our minds The perfect stranger Only passing by No wasting time I’ll be the perfect stranger Lie in wait Knowing we’ve come this far No more chasing shadows with our minds Our fragile bones Never to return what's lost Never to return what’s lost Yes I see all your calls I’m not tryna ignore ‘em I’ve been tryna stay busy with things that’s not so important Not tryna have conversations Cause they make me feel worse You just wish I would talk to you while I vent in a verse I know I’m testing your patience when you just wanting to help Got open wounds won’t address ‘em until I hurt someone else Like what you really see in me that I don’t see in myself I think my distance made the difference I’m not happy myself Perfect strangers barely speaking ‘less I tell you happy birthday It’s crazy how you always were the best on my worst days Everything stay on replay Playing back in my head Everything in my head What that’s what you always said Now my texts is on read Feel like my ex is the feds Cause they know all about me and every secret I said It’s like the closer you get The more my scars will reveal You prolly better without me Maybe one day I’ll heal
8.
You’ll consume us all If you don’t accept your failure You can’t just hide away from truth Sins absolved evolve Into more than you can chew And I know That I’ve been where you were before And there’s nothing you can do You have to save what’s left of you And I know where you shouldn’t go When there’s nothing left to prove The death of an idea One you used to call your own You watch it slip away from you The death of an idea One you used to call your home You watch it slip away from you The death of an idea The death of an idea Once more you find yourself Alone and afraid of this empty space The death of an idea Oh it lead you to pray And I know That I’ve been where you were before And there’s nothing you can do So hang your head low now you know This has always been ruse The death of an idea One you used to call your own You watch it slip away The death of an idea

Unsaid 05:18
Forgive me Ooh, I’ve made my choice To run so far away From your truth And I can’t be there for you When I can’t even be there for myself I want you to know That I love to see you grow I want you to know I’m sorry that I have to go Ahh Go, I’ll go Go, go Forgive me Ohh These are the things I wish I could say But it’s better if they stay unsaid I’ll go, I’ll go To make this better

Surrounded 06:02
Breakthrough this uncertainty And you’ll find me Just as lost as I was Push through to clarity And unite me With that person I was So lift me up Come shelter my soul So that gravity can’t take hold I’ve had enough I’ve lost all control So don’t tell me I can’t fold No I can’t see through I’m surrounded by you I’m surrounded by truth No I can’t see through I’m surrounded by you I’m surrounded by truth Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Truth Break down these walls for me So I can see Your truth Live in my fantasy Just you and me Surrounded by truth Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Truth Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Surrounded by Truth The ends justified my means So it seemed Now I’m surrounded by you I’ll live on Now I’m surrounded by truth Breakthrough this uncertainty And you’ll find me Just as lost I was

Linger 03:59
You linger just a question in the air Will you ever feel the same in your heart And did you mean to steal mine Oh mine Linger Linger Linger Like a hair on my shoulder Linger Just a hanging thought now Lost among the air I fall to the dark beyond repair The ink sets into my bones And I know I’m no longer in your care Will you ever feel the same in your heart And did you mean to break mine Oh mine
