Surrounded by your love, surround me with your touch And when it's all too much, just fill me right on up If I was to lose it all the hardest would be you If something has to take you, it better take me too And if I was to die I'm happy with this life I didn't do everything, but I'd be satisfied Will you be my Grim Reaper to walk me outside? When I go I want you there right by my side That's all I needed to push me through me through the door Some better thoughts and feelings to get up off the floor If that's all you wanted to see me on my knees Don't expect to stay around, don't be begging please One day I'll be there, the place I'm looking for It keeps me up at night, you'll see me crawling towards it Every day I get closer to getting it just right I know I'll never have it there, but it's the fact that I might A dream of grandeur art, and living like a king Well god that sounds so good, but that's not everything And no matter what happens, I do it for me And the people I love the most, I don't need to be king That's all I needed to push me through me through the door Some better thoughts and feelings to get up off the floor If that's all you wanted to see me on my knees Don't expect to stay around, don't be begging please

This some Rapunzel a** bull****, let down your hair. Except they locked you in the basement, but they don't care Yeah I'm running out of enemies, got so many friends, yet all the time I find its hard to lie I'm scared that That will end. Now I'm f***ing my whole life up but not by doing s*** but I'm f***ing my whole life up by not Doing my s***. Don't expect me to be the guy thats got it all figured out. I got it figured I'll be out of it in any Second now. I'm with you and you're with me crazy we haven't left this house. But we're still living every day so I Guess I can't complain. Got two roofs over our heads but we ain't afraid of no rain. I've been through it all with You but I ain't feeling any pain, love you Loco with a coco nutty crazy psycho lunatic, everything we do at night is left behind do you forget? Moving at the speed of sound to nowhere maybe that's just it. Maybe that's just it. Maybe that's just it They said: "it's time to go now b***h get the f*** out of my house. And no I ain't joking this time you get right out Of my house. I can't just ride up on a horse and save the day like some heroic night, like a jester in a war Somewhere just watching the fight. But inside like a dragon and I'll show you what I'm made of, ill show you Where I came from, yeah ill show you then I might just lose it going through this with you. But I'm gonna do this With you. I just wish I knew what to do. Yeah just wait till we get outta here we'll get some peace of mind Let's buy us a castle somewhere the nicest we can find. Surround it with a moat, get a lake and get a boat You're going through it all right now but I can't rescue you, f*** this Loco with a coco nutty crazy psycho lunatic, everything we do at night is left behind do you forget? Moving at the speed of sound to nowhere maybe that's just it. Maybe that's just it. Maybe that's just it

I got my whole life ahead of me. We can't see when we leave. Anything could stop the way I breathe. We can't see When we leave Maybe I'll be fine, just let it pass. Lying on the floor lying on the grass. Maybe I might lose my burning mind Go about my day it'll be just fine. Maybe if I run away going fast, I'll look back, and it won't last. I refuse to be just Not quite right. I don't know if I'll win this silent fight. I got my whole life ahead of me. We can't see when we leave. Anything could stop the way I breathe. We can't see When we leave Know I love you but I'm going through a rough time. Falling through the crack lines. Losing it by your side I need help I won't lie. I need help I won't lie. Why do I even hide it? This place is well known. Put a blanket on it say it ain't in my home, and by that time I Forget how to handle it. So my head just throws a fit, and now I'm left here. I can't handle this All I need from you is bleeding true from your soul. It needs to be shown. I got my whole life ahead of me. We can't see when we leave. Anything could stop the way I breathe. We can't see When we leave Know I love you but I'm going through a rough time. Falling through the crack lines. Losing it by your side I need help I won't lie. I need help I won't lie.

Sodom 03:49
I found that everything I've ever known is wrong and will be too. Everything means nothing so tell the truth. She's down the hall feeling the sound. And I feel it all, feeling around. I am not the way you wanted me to be, I know. But why do I feel free and I can be me? Life feels like it's right and I don't feel so guilty all the time. Everything they'd said to me felt strange but I went right along. Cause if I didn't They told me my heart was wrong. But I stayed for the friends I made, we stood there and fake sung every song But it's okay, I kept a few and now I call them family. So no I don't regret it, but man I'm glad I'm out now. It feels so free to lose what I believe. Don't tell me how to live. Make me and then I'll quit It feels so free to lose what I believe. Don't tell me how to live. Make me and then I'll quit

Staring down the face of regret. That’s all I wanted was to hit the reset. And when I couldn’t that’s when I thought I Fell apart. Thought I really ruined it all, let me restart. Holding hands, but you ran so I’m running and I was really Hurt but right now it sounds so funny cuz I got you now yeah I got what I needed. There had been a feeling and I Know that you’d seen it. Everything you did caught my eye a little bit. We wanted something bad but we were Scared of it. But you turned my light on, don’t have to be afraid. As I’m laying next to you right now I’ve never felt So safe You’re the best thing to happen to me. It’s no question, we’re falling in all that love. It’s so bright everyone can see When you need me I’m here, oh I’ll never leave Y'all believe in love like they use to tell when we were kids? Like the run away eloping kinda shit. I got a feeling That it really does exist, cause I found this girl and she makes me feel like this Y'all believe in love like they use to tell when we were kids? Like the run away eloping kinda shit. I got a feeling That it really does exist, cause I found this girl and she makes me feel like this Terrified to open this text. Not sure I’m ready for what’s happening next. You said just maybe, well s*** I guess I’ll Take it. My confidence is coming back, just fake it till I make it. Now we really had a good few days. Nothing feels Weird, loving everything you say. I know I’m on a come up, keep on fighting keep on moving. So tired of that hurt I’m so tired of losing. The year moves on as do our feelings. Breathing better now, taking walks of healing. Not Perfect yet but we’re on our way. And I haven’t felt much better with you, I’m loving every day You’re the best thing to happen to me. It’s no question, we’re falling in all that love. It’s so bright everyone can see When you need me I’m here, oh I’ll never leave

Why the hell did you give up on me. I needed your help you let me be. I was just a kid how could I know. Now I Am just a kid where can I go? You made me doubt my own mind. I felt guilty every day, it’s fine. You knew it Wasn’t working don’t act blind. And I’ll be okay but it’s still not right But f*** it, I got all this shit that I can do. And I am not a failure, now look at me and say it too. I got flames in my Blood, you can’t take me down, now I got blood all around me, call me lost and found. No matter what the Situation is, what happened to me. I accept the problems now it’s my responsibility. Didn’t ask for this at all, didn’t Ask for my life. But here I am anyways, screaming I am alive. I’m thankful for the things that hurt, thankful for the Things that burn. They make me who I really am. I can’t decide what I deserve. But I know what to make of it, I Know how to take a hit. Roll with the punches, and I think I can handle this. But oh god I’m scared I’m not who I Could be. I’m scared I never will show them what I see in me. Am I too broke to fix? Too broke to do this? Only One way to find out. I’ll have to dive right in and get it

Look I’m the best me to Date. I’m working on trying not to escape Let me go, let me go, let me go, I don’t wanna do this. Let me go, let me go, I can’t handle this This is my home now. I’m gonna glide. Yeah it's my home now. I’m gonna glide I'm on a ride. Yeah it's my home Now. I'm gonna glide. Yeah it's my home now. I'm gonna glide
