These trials are too much
Oh how I miss your touch
And layin' skin to skin
If you're still in I'm in
And the light at the end of the tunnel is dim
I'm working for hours and pennies again
My penance is frail my patience is thin
It's the steepest of hills with no foreseeable end
Again
It's almost a straight shot
From the upstate to the coast
On highway 26
If you're still in I'm in
If I could pick up the pieces
And put em back into one
Do you think we can make it?
Or is the damage done?
If you're still in I'm in

Here's To Looking Ahead
02:58

Broken bones and highway lines
Depressing great divides
Distance no longer applies
I'll navigate if you drive
And look at you always blue
And I'm exactly the same
And after all it's still true
The sun will shine after rain
And the darkness still creeps up
But it's not as bad these days
It's not the end of the world it's just the end of mine
And I think about you all the time
Like I'm the luckiest person that's alive
I'm no longer living in rewind
And I wouldn't say I'm thriving
But I'm stronger than I've been
So I guess we'll call it progress
Here's too looking ahead

I'm sorry that I'm so much labor
I'm sorry that I'm so much work
I know this isn't what we imagined
But I guess it could be worse
I really just want to tell you
It's all gonna be okay
But what I really think I need is
For you to say that to me
These days are long enough without all these sleepless nights
And I love you so much, I just hope I'm doing alright
I'm sorry everything's a struggle
I'm sorry that I work so much
I hate that everyone is awful
Like the whole world's out of touch
I wish I wasn't always frightened
I wish I wasn't always scared
It's like I'm in a constant state of needing to be repaired
These days are long enough without all these sleepless nights
And I love you so much, I just hope I'm doing alright
I hate that I get sad for no reason
Even though you can relate
I know that I'm a lot to handle
And you've got enough on your plate
I hate that I hate so much
But not when I'm with you
And maybe that's enough
And I'll learn to make do
These days are long enough without all these sleepless nights
And I love you so much, I just hope I'm doing alright

Heroes and Monsters
04:24

We all watched in real time as those we thought were heroes
Proved themselves to be completely unworthy
How could I ever forgive you for what you've done
You were supposed to be a shining example
It wouldn't be a stretch to call you a monster
Just look at all of the lives you've hurt
I guess I'll consider this a lesson learned
It's no sweat off my back to leave this bridge burned
Now I can't listen to those songs. The words are all meaningless.
The melodies have soured. It's all just shallow content
You were a pillar of hope. You were a guiding light.
Now that image has shattered, like it never mattered.
It wouldn't be a stretch to call you a monster
Just look at all of the lives you've hurt
I guess I'll consider this a lesson learned
It's no sweat off my back to leave this bridge burned
Now the wound feels fresh while I'm picking at the scab
It's a constant reminder that nothing can be perfect
So I tear at the flesh and I dig in again
Just remember to hold yourself to a higher standard
It wouldn't be a stretch to call you a monster
Just look at all of the lives you've hurt
I guess I'll consider this a lesson learned
It's no sweat off my back to leave this bridge burned

Can't Sleep
04:58

I can't believe the last time that I saw you would be the last time that I'd see you
I'd pour one out but you'd way that was a waste
So I lie awake in the pitch black and my mind wanders to way back
I hear your laugh and I think of what you'd say
I can't sleep
It was already too damn crowded in here
I can't sleep
I can't stop this constant ringing in my ears
Can't count the times I'd run into you at some familiar dive
So weary and worn out from the hurdles of the day
To find simple comfort in conversation or at least the company to share the silence in
I wonder now if I can even stomach going back to that place
I can't sleep
It was already too damn crowded in here
I can't sleep
I can't stop this constant ringing in my ears
I can't sleep
