Hold On Pain Ends

You did well, devil Family life, it's like Puzzle pieces disconnected, picture frames we'll never find This broken home my demons still reside You would think we could have lived together with all this hell inside Mother, I just needed you to know Something good grew out from all of the cracks inside our broken home Am I a lonely soul, a kid flying his kite alone Or am I just a head in the clouds, welcoming wind every time there's a storm? Where do I go now? I grew up in a house God built with the devil's blueprints With no foundation found I went to hell to have some words With the devil about what he did But it was empty Everyone moved out Mother, I just needed you to know Something good grew out from all of the cracks inside our broken home And father, I needed you the most But I'm still a kid in aging skin, a hypocrite trying to grow Every time I try to bury the wreckage of that old house in my mind I see the same crow on the power line He could have flown to any other home, but he'll never stop chasing mine He'll never stop chasing mine It's a strange kind of comfort Learning to always love the cracks inside broken homes Mother, I just needed you to know Something good grew out from all of the cracks in our broken home And father, I needed you the most But I'm still a kid in aging skin and I will always love you both

We’ll all stop singing songs and start singing out our pain instead I hope one day to bury the past so deep my ghost can’t find it Is this you being yourself or acting on part to please someone else Take a look at your health, take a look in someone else’s eyes but don’t deface yourself Go on, try to, delete me, deceive me, you can’t I will destroy you, that demon inside before it destroys everything At some point you’ll have to make a few decisions Boundaries don’t keep anybody out they only fence us in I’ve got myself and no one else Our demons are made from a past but we leave them home in hell I’ve got myself and no one else and I am just fine with this I’ve got myself and no one else but I’m not okay, who am I kidding? Is this you being yourself or acting on part to please someone else Take a look at your health, take a look in someone else’s eyes but don’t deface yourself Go on, try to, delete me, deceive me, you can’t I will destroy you, that demon inside before it destroys everything I will destroy you Leave now while you still have the legs to take you Go on, try to, delete me, deceive me, you can’t I will destroy you, that demon inside before it destroys me Maybe I don’t need to find a demon that plays well with mine Maybe I need to let go of the hell I keep raising inside on my own On my own

When you are changing the life you know This can be oh so hard to face But what’s worse is regret that one day you’ll wake up Pretending to love someone before you love yourself When will our hearts be free? Because our ribs are cages Where do I belong when everything I've loved has come and gone? Where do I belong when even my own shadow leaves me when darkness comes? There's got to be a crack in everything Otherwise, a light could never find it's way in Years of love are lost in the hatred of a moment You'll never know what it's worth until it’s a memory, so you should own it One person’s insecurity can become a reality For someone else when we use each other to find love in ourselves When will our hearts be free? Because our ribs are cages Where do I belong when everything I've loved has come and gone? Where do I belong when even my own shadow leaves me when darkness comes? When will our hearts be free? Cause our ribs are cages Where do I belong when everything I've loved has come and gone? Where do I belong when even my own shadow leaves me when darkness comes? When darkness comes, when darkness comes, what do I need?

Without our ups and downs We're all just living dead I put my pulse on paper Because I want out from inside of my head Don't write yourself off Say what you think and mean what you say Unless you're OK living life With a pulse that's flatlining I guess we only get a chance To write our stories once We need to look back and say That one time was plenty enough Are we confusing our heart with our mind? Are they on the same page or did We write one off and push the other behind? Take me anywhere but here Away from these insecurities I fear Take me anywhere but here Just make sure if you are the one that will have me You know just what you're taking You know you had a darkness inside Floor to sky, left to write It was on the record we made last time And any writer writes afraid of the next line To put down on paper the things He's tried to erase in his mind And I am no longer afraid of mine A writer that found a reason for the pain inside A word is dead when it's said, some say I say it just began to live that day I said it once I'll say it again Maybe you weren't listening I said it once I'll say it again To live backwards isn't evil, it's rewriting Take me anywhere but here Away from these insecurities I fear Take me anywhere but here Just make sure if you are the one that will have me You know just what you're taking I said it once I'll say it again I said it once I'll say it again Are you listening? Are you listening? The best stories are written When they're spent rewriting

Today feels like it might be the wrong day for me to die I’ve been spending too much time believing in self-created lies And words are just words, until they're put in to work And I’m standing so firm in this, firm in this Leave a mark upon the world, not across your arms A mark upon the world too beautiful for scars I can only hold up half the sky at one time And I got through today so I could help you sleep at night I feel a tired in my eyes trying to find the sunrise And I’m learning that life is getting through the night Leave a mark upon the world, not across your arms A mark upon the world too beautiful for scars I understand you A track record of track marks A small collection of stories That never get told again I understand you Take pride in all the marks upon your soul Oh, they should show you You've been through a hell of a life alone Leave a mark upon the world, not across your arms A mark upon the world too beautiful for scars

So much heart, so much time, but not enough Self-inflicted pain can come and remain in the fear inside of all of us Desperately and endlessly Trying to find a means to some kind of peace We can't learn when things come easy Now that we are prepared for war We have an effective means to preserving peace for each and everyone The chances of you even being born were forty million to one There's two parts of the statistic; I want you to live Suicide doesn't end the pain It passes to the ones you love and remains Take yourself out of the equation and the problem stays When I speak such a word, are you uneasy with how it's heard? The stigma will never leave unless all of us can just start talking The only people I know resting in peace without fear or anxiety Are the deceased That's why they say "may the dead rest in peace" The things we feel we could never change Can end up changing everything Now that we are prepared for war We have an effective means to preserving peace for each and everyone The chances of you even being born were forty million to one There's two parts of the statistic and I want you to live through one Sometimes to win a battle inside, you need to start a war Sometimes to win a battle inside, you need to start a war Now that we are prepared for war We have an effective means to preserving peace for each and everyone The chances of you even being born were forty million to one There's two parts of the statistic and I want you to live through one I want you to live through one (x2)

All these voices in my head I’ll never know just what I'll feel Let alone what will be said We all forget the things we say But we never forget how we felt When we let ourselves feel One head so many voices Maybe I'll spend my whole life licking wounds My tongue feels likes it's got two jobs To twist and say shit I don't need to And to come between my stomach and my head Separate, which one of you do I listen to? Parts of me miss pieces of you Oh all these voices in my head

I never knew exactly how this could feel Retelling stories from a movie life from reel to real You're still slowly developing and you'll die If you're exposed to too much light at one time People like us have learned to feel at home In the darkest corners of their minds What hurts me the most is hiding the scars across my body And not knowing if they had a reason to close You and I know the price now its time to make change Listen decisions will need to be remade I told you sometimes days like these don't change I know you and I we have the same trouble keeping blood in our veins Addiction its not so much about us overcoming Sometimes maybe it’s more about us just replacing Look you and I will always have this song Just like I know I had a reason to write it Its not just a breathless sing along I will relive this so that you'll never have to feel alone I will relive this when you're alone I will be the voice inside of your headphones I told you sometimes days like these don't change I know you and I we have the same trouble keeping blood in our veins I know some days I wish I could just erase the past But if I hide my wounds ashamed then you'd never know we’re the same Let my darkness illuminate take my hand and let me light your way Just keep the blood inside your veins You and I know the price now its time to make change Listen decisions will need to be remade I told you sometimes days like these don't change I know you and I we have the same trouble keeping blood in our veins

Am I defined by the hell you left me in Or the influence I make while living it? Sometimes you find yourself stuck in the middle of nowhere But the middle of nowhere is where we find ourselves And only time will tell how long we stay The hardest part about feeling Like life has fallen apart Is that feeling for some of us That it always will because it always does I see that things are getting bad again I'm not seeing you lately, you've been hiding Let's get lost together in a new direction We may not have it all together But together we can have it all But we're still here and only time Will tell how long we stay The hardest part about feeling Like life has fallen apart Is that feeling for some of us Hat it always will because it always does You call it a demon I call it self sabotage in hiding You call it a demon Or is happiness a mediocre sin?

And now I know there's a place in my mind I go Secluded, where my head is quick but my heart is slow I bottle things up for too long waiting on someone to find me I'm a message lost in a sinking sea We all want to be found and held so close So all that we know that is broken falls back together No one is ever going to believe in yourself for you And every false belief that you think is true was put inside of you Imperfection and not accepting who you are, I'm guilty too Your imperfections make you perfect to me Now learn to just stay you Everyone you know is fighting a battle of their own Now do unto yourself what your neighbors never show What a world we live in we’re falling for everything and anyone but us You just want somebody to love the hell out of you But you will never find that kind of love in someone before yourself We all want to be found and held so close So all that we know that is broken falls back together No one is ever going to believe in yourself for you And every false belief that you think is true was put inside of you Imperfection and not accepting who you are, I'm guilty too Your imperfections make you perfect to me Now learn to just stay you I understand you more than you think I do Stop looking up to me start looking up to you Imperfection and not accepting who you are, I’m guilty too Will you spend another day believing what the world wants you to? No one is ever going to believe in yourself for you And every false belief that you think is true was put inside of you Imperfection and not accepting who you are, I'm guilty too Your imperfections make you perfect to me Now learn to just stay you Learn to just stay you

I can see your eyes looking up at me To see if anyone is noticing No one has been there to listen All the more reason to sing I promise this won’t last forever I don't want to let you make that choice You don't need to abuse your arms but use your voice I know right now you think that no one is listening If we fall together, we'll live forever and never grow alone When I look out, I see a field of youth And it is filled with doubt A field of flowers pulling their petals off way too soon One by one. Dropping like flies no one is speaking up I know right now you think that no one is listening If we fall together, we'll live forever and never grow alone You can grow out from decay But what you do with your today Can resonate to everything, keep growing We've been pulled from the earth We know but we can still grow though We've both started to die and slow Why pick ourselves early? We're dying here anyways Remember I can show you light But you will have to learn How to grow on your own What is a rose with no thorn? I know right now you think that no one is listening If we fall together, we'll live forever and never grow alone You can grow out from decay But what you do with your today Can resonate to everything, keep growing

And sometimes the most beautiful pain in life Is the kind you can't disguise or hide And the hard truth about life If I'm not allowed to give up on mine You are not allowed to not even try One day at a time you'll have to remake The same decision as the one I made last night You and I have already started to die And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine And sometimes we need to find a reason For the pain in our own lives Mine was you and I promise this song Is a place for the truth We can’t keep hiding and hurting I know I’ve tried to One day at a time we just might have to remake The decision every day for the rest of life You and I have already started to die And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine And for the record, I'm in California still writing one day at a time And for the record, I refuse to be ashamed of all my scars You and I are both the same We've already cheated death so many times If we’re going to die, why not cheat it again tonight? You and I have already started to die And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine
