Let me sleep Let me sleep so I can dream Of being somewhere else Anywhere else but here I wouldn't care, if it all got washed away Here comes the heavy rain again I knew this day would come, I knew it had to Things were never looking up for us The hands got warmer as the hearts grew colder Let me wake up from this hateful nightmare Of us together hand in hand Here comes the rain, here comes that rain To wash away all we ever had And all we'll ever have I hope it won't take long till all the memories are gone Come heavy rain to wash away

I thought today would be the best day of my life But I was wrong, tomorrow's looking brighter We were standing on the edge of something brilliant We could read eachothers minds without having to know eachothers thoughts Hope, something to believe in Hope, something to break your heart Hope, something to give up on Hope, a brand new start Those distant days Dreaming of a happy ending that never came Watching all we had go down in flames I sold myself out I sold myself short Thinking it was worth so much more It stole my voice You were there as I screamed out across the world "I need something more than this" All I needed was a promise that this could not go wrong again You gave me my voice I could sing again

First Light 03:20
Too long now since we've spoken from our hearts I'll state now that it's tearing me apart inside The sad "goodbyes", "fuck yous", and "dunno whys" They're starting to sound familiar But i'm not taking them back I'll keep on walking down this street Looking for a sign I know you're still around The lights are getting brighter I won't have to keep looking behind When all I see are these bright lights I knew this darkened road wouldn't last Too long now since we've spoken from our hearts I'll state now that it's torn me up inside I'll walk along these streets But the concrete won't feel like home to me I'll walk along these streets, these old familiar streets But the concrete won't feel like home to me anymore

The Sign Off 01:52
I find it hard to search for the words to say Stuck inside on this meaningless day I look at missed calls from my so called friends (Okay they care) I need to drop these bitter feelings I don't want to be like all the rest Stuck with tunnel vision And a bitter heart in my chest And this chest is going to fucking explode I remember the day I cared The sun shone and the flowers grew Now the flowers are all dead And i'm fucking through I've given up on you I thought we'd make it If this is what you'd call a victory Then you can take it At a party with none of my friends Friendly faces that's where it ends They gave up on me, i'm doing the same I know i'm not the one to blame He's here again, he's shouting the odds I guess this is me counting the costs I've counted enough, I couldn't care less Their bitter hearts can die in their chests I've given up, I'm fucking out This is my resignation And as for all of you We're fucking through This ship has sailed

Please help me breathe again I've had enough of this cold air Wrap yourself around me Tears fall from cold tired eyes that ache This town has become to small for us to take What if we get out? And leave everything behind And just go anywhere The sun will be our guide I don't hate this town as much as it deserves We'll look out across the sleeping skyline Painted out like an ocean The sky it turns from black to white The sun comes up, the dawn calls us out This day will see the best of what we have This day we'll make our own 5am never looked so beautiful Your eyes they shone like the sun Coming over the horizon We were scared, it felt like the first time We were so fucking scared But this time, was our time This day will see the best of what we have We'll never let ourselves be scared again This day will see the best of what we have We'll show them all We've nothing to hide We'll let ourselves shine We'll shine like the sun
