Habits 03:30
Let me tell me just one thing You can accomplish anything If you won’t allow yourself to put up boundaries Just push yourself a little more Get your ass right out the door And you’ll see happy endings aren’t just for stories Let go, let go! Of your weakness Tell yourself that you deserve it Let go, let go! It is worth it Time to crawl outside this tiny box Stepping over all the lines, where I always used to stop (and give up) Shook things up and blurred some colors Until I finally discovered Life starts outside your comfort zone You’ll be surprised to know Just how far you can go From the point where you thought that the road ended All it takes is a little strength To get you on your way again And you’ll see it will be better than you intended Let go, let go! Of your weakness Tell yourself that you deserve it Let go let go It is worth it Time to crawl outside this tiny box Stepping over all the lines, where I always used to stop (and give up) Shook things up and blurred some colors Until I finally discovered I need to kick the habit, gotta change my point of view Alternate my direction, get a taste of something new And if I finally get there I know that I won’t stay ‘cause it’s not in my nature to wander the same place Time to crawl outside this tiny box Stepping over all the lines, where I always used to stop (and give up) Shook things up and blurred some colors Until I finally discovered Life starts outside your comfort zone

Chapter Blue 02:46
Tuesday morning, 6 am. No surprise that I’m thinkin’ about you again. I can’t kick you, try as I might, Not enough that I dreamt of you all night. Déjà vu, you’re always here, But I wish you’d just disappear FUCK! Just pack your bags and leave. ‘Cause when I’m with you I’m still lonely And tonight I’m feeling blue Get out of my head, I don’t need you I don’t need you Wednesday evening, still up late Can’t believe that you forgot our date I won’t take your shit anymore Wait a minute while I show you to the door I’m so done, yeah we are trough I won’t waste another minute on you OH, FUCK! Just pack your bags and leave. ‘Cause when I’m with you I’m still lonely And tonight I’m feeling blue Get out of my head, I don’t need you I don’t need you ‘Cause when I’m with you I’m still lonely And tonight I’m feeling blue Get out of my head, I don’t need you I don’t need you I don’t need you I don’t need you

I used to hold my guard up Afraid to stumble and drop One day I feel like I have it all The next I’m with my back against the wall I’ll slam the hammer against these walls Drag bad memories down the hall Time to let go of the broken past So done with always looking back And no matter what the future holds I’ll be ready for it -- when it unfolds So fire all your cheap shots I will blow away the smoke When life takes another swing at me You won’t see me choke I know that sometimes it’s alright to pretend But when I’m on the brink (when I'm on the brink) I refuse to sink This blame game went on for too long And all I ever did was wrong Time to believe in my own mistakes I will bend but I’ll never break I don’t care ‘bout what you have to say I won’t listen to it -- anyway So fire all your cheap shots I will blow away the smoke When life takes another swing at me You won’t see me choke I know that sometimes it’s alright to pretend But when I’m on the brink (when I'm on the brink) I refuse to sink Oh for so long This felt so wrong You’ve been the anchor holding my head under the water This isn’t me Time to break free I’ll sail my own course, even if it’s bound for disaster So fire all your cheap shots I will blow away the smoke When life takes another swing at me You won’t see me choke I know that sometimes it’s alright to pretend But when I’m on the brink (when I'm on the brink) I refuse to sink

I've wasted all my time time to comprehend The way you move around me like I'm just not there Tell me, are you choking on the air I'm breathing? Now I understand you can be lost for words, But your awkward silence just make things worse Is it your ambition to keep me pleading for an answer? I've had enough of the same old game Where I talk and all you do is stare at me Sometimes it feels rewarding to be spoken to instead of speaking Is this the way you expect me to be? It's like you've never even known me The thing about surprises is that you never know what's coming to you And now it's high time that I speak my mind You never tell me anything (anything) that's worth mentioning But suddenly (suddenly) you're telling me it's time to wake up, break up, make up another storyline Tell me something different or I swear, it won't be me You've got me questioning (questioning) every single thing You promised me (but it seems) the time has come for me to Step up, speak up, pick up my wasted wonder years And leave you in the dust, the story's over and I'm out of here! (Oh-oh-oh-oooh!) We're at the end of the line, this is a sinking ship It's the fight of our lives, you can't just run from it (3x) At the end of the line, it's still a sinking ship, a sinking ship! You never tell me anything (anything) that's worth mentioning But suddenly (suddenly) you're telling me it's time to wake up, break up, make up another storyline Tell me something different or I swear, it won't be me You've got me questioning (questioning) every single thing You promised me (but it seems) the time has come for me to Step up, speak up, pick up my wasted wonder years And leave you in the dust, the story's over and I'm out of here!

Pick You Up 03:40
You’ve got some demons to face Dragging you down at the waist I see them pulling you under But I just want you to know You don’t have to face this alone ‘Cause we always got each other Paper planes only soar for a while But I’ll pick you up and make you smile When pain comes creeping ‘round your door And you don’t feel useful anymore When your brain is locked in a jar And you’re not the same person by far I’ll still be here right by your side To get you through the night The monsters under your bed Have found the way to your head Oh baby I know it’s scary But don’t stick your face in the sand ‘Cause I will lend you my hand And that’s not just temporary Paper planes only soar for a while But I’ll pick you up and make you smile When pain comes creeping ‘round your door And you don’t feel useful anymore When your brain is locked in a jar And you’re not the same person by far I’ll still be here right by your side To get you through the night I guess I won’t ask a lot How many scars that you’ve got All I want is to fix them I hope one day I’ll succeed And put you back on your feet Seeing that inner smile again Paper planes only soar for a while But I’ll pick you up and make you smile When pain comes creeping ‘round your door And you don’t feel useful anymore When your brain is locked in a jar And you’re not the same person by far I’ll still be here right by your side To get you through the night
