The Word Alive
Album • 2016
I've forgotten who I am Afraid that it's too late Was I wrong? Was there hope all along? Can't remember when I felt alive Illusions took hold Lost myself but worse than anything I woke up on my own I remember thinking of impossible things Of never backing down to impossibilities Dreamer, where have you gone? Dreamer, will you live on? Dreamer Dreamer, come home There's nothing left but emptiness When you realize what you could have been Kept searching for the right moment When you just have to live in it You just have to live in it

Will you listen to what I said? Do you believe that I’m worth it? I can’t fall asleep I can’t live with my dreams It’s hard to know myself Trapped in my own head I’m trapped, I’m trapped Trapped in my head You’re running from everything That’s seeping from the depths of me You’re begging for anything That’s a life I’ll never see I’ll keep searching, I’m angry! I’ve been haunted by my dreams! It’s hard to know myself Trapped in my own head I'm trapped, I'm trapped Trapped in my head I'm trapped, I'm trapped Trapped in my own head

Forgotten, unwanted Broken memories confused by a heart that is haunted Forsaken, fallen Erasing the history that suffered in silence I just wanted you to know my name I just wanted you to feel the shame See you face to face Look me in the eyes Can you see your lies? Tell me you don't remember the son that you left behind Look into these eyes I hope you'll always remember that you were the sacrifice That gave me a better life Aching, you're tortured Slowly drowning in sorrow with empty excuses You can't escape this Every moment you regret, I didn't deserve this I just wanted you to know my name I just wanted you to feel the shame See you face to face Look me in the eyes Can you see your lies? Tell me you don't remember the son that you left behind Look into these eyes I hope you'll always remember that you were the sacrifice That gave me a better life Life Life Life I just wanted you to know my name I just wanted you to feel the shame See you face to face Looking in your eyes I can see your lies Tell me you don't remember the son that you left behind Look into these eyes I hope you'll always remember that you were the sacrifice I hope you'll always remember that you were the sacrifice I hope you'll always remember that you were the sacrifice That gave me a better life Life

Waiting for, waiting for conviction Waiting for, waiting for connection Everybody is searching for someone I’m still searching for direction I’m still trying to find my way out I won’t pretend that I’m alright With settling left and right I’m not seeking perfection I’m just seeking redemption Waiting for, waiting for conviction Waiting for, waiting for connection Everybody is searching for substance Waiting for, waiting for my outcome Waiting for, waiting for ascension Everybody is searching for someone Don’t get lost inside your head Unlock the mysteries within Unlock the mysteries Unlock the mysteries You’re searching for yourself You’re searching for yourself Will they remember me? Everything’s empty but I see the light I’ll apologize Just come back, just come back Will you remember me? Everything’s empty and I lost the fight I’ll apologize Just come back, just come back Just come back!

No matter the pain we hide inside We all struggle just to feel alive It's harder to see the light up ahead When you find yourself helpless Now let our voices be the change So we don't all end up the same I can't help but feel this way Let's raise our flags to the new age We're all insane in a beautiful way We won't change until the tide comes, the time comes You'll never be more than what they say Unless you stand and face the hate Always aware of where you came Lead those around you unafraid We're all insane, in a beautiful way We won't change, until the tide comes, the time comes We're all insane, in a beautiful way We won't change, until the tide comes and pulls us all away

Even when you thought you had me beat I still found the strength, hidden deep within me And I can’t, can’t ever lose my voice I learned how to block, block out all of the noise And I found my place In the empty spaces where my demons lay No I don’t believe that we as humans were meant to be afraid I wear these scars I own my mistakes, you made me this way I wear these scars I know my mistakes, you can’t take that away I wear these scars I wear these scars, you can’t take that away It’s so strange that I ended up here And I never thought I’d make it through these years And I found my place In the empty spaces where my demons lay No I don’t believe that we as humans were meant to be enslaved I wear these scars I own my mistakes, you made me this way I wear these scars I know my mistakes, you can’t take that away I wear these scars I wear these scars, you can’t take that away Most of these scars will fade away But nothing hides the fact that you were my mistake My mistake I wear these scars I own my mistakes, you made me this way I wear these scars I know my mistakes, you can’t take that away I wear these scars I wear these scars, you can’t take that away I don’t believe that we’re defined by our mistakes And I can see that you think you’ve had all you can take I won’t believe that we’re defined by our mistakes I hope you see that you’re better off this way

I'm sinking in expectation Can't find my way out I deserve an explanation I lost myself in doubt Longing for revelation Do I deserve this shit? When you feel there's nothing left That's where you'll find me dead Feels like I'm suffocating I'm suffocating The walls closing in on me I'm suffocating Now I'm unable to breathe (Conserving energy) It's like a disease (Catastrophe) Won't you please help me see (Don't know if this will help) There's more to this than me (Don't know if this will help)

Everybody's gonna lose someone No matter who you call your own You're gonna choose someone to love And no matter how far away they feel You'll always feel like someone's here I never thought I'd reach the bottom I always thought that you'd be there Without you here Everything feels so clear And I can't let you go How could I stoop so low? How could I stoop so low? Owning up to mistakes I've made Right back to where I started Reflecting all your tears I got lost in my ego And no matter how far away you feel I always feel like you're right there I never thought I'd reach the bottom Until you disappeared Every time we collide I will fall and stumble forward In my home with you

No living savior to follow home Wandering hopeless into the unknown Is there hope, to hope like them? Save me from the hell I'm in We can't abandon those who've been branded It's hard to believe we don't belong Here we are standing together, demanding Singing for those who don't belong So here we are off in the unknown Aimless, but tired of being alone Is there hope, to hope like them? Save me from the hell I'm in We can't abandon those who've been branded It's hard to believe we don't belong Here we are standing together, demanding Singing for those who don't belong Lost and found, I had no home Found myself when I gave up hope So don't forget your darkest hours Light the way to a life empowered Don't forget your darkest hours Light the way, light the way We can't abandon those who've been branded It's hard to believe we don't belong We can't abandon those who've been branded It's hard to believe we don't belong Here we are standing together, demanding Singing for those who don't belong Don't belong

I'm not expecting anything From the ones who couldn't accept me I've never needed anything But I just hope inside for the good in me I won't let them destroy me They won't bring me to my knees So I'll wait patiently because eventually We find ourselves and you will find your hell in me You don't deserve the pity When the pity is that you deserted me You'll never feel this good inside Because there's nothing good living deep inside Everything's made to be broken Everything's made to be broken So break me So break me So break me down I won't let them destroy me They won't bring me to my knees I won't let them destroy me They won't bring me to my knees And you will find your hell in me

Tired of looking in the mirror Cracks seperate my face I'm not what you think I'm lost in make believe But why, oh God why are you doing this to me? Can't stop looking out my window I don't know who I am anymore You'll wash, wash away all the secrets of my past The shattered reflection is all I ever had These are my last days cause hell has been calling for me Why am I crazy? Why am I crazy? I am a disease and hell has been calling for me Why am I crazy? Why am I crazy? Devour the darkness (Hell find me) Light defies me Devour the darkness Light won't find me (Light pulls us in) I'm not crazy

Even if I'm left with nothing No heart or soul to bare Even if I'm left with nothing Is anybody there?
