And I won't say a word as I turn
Every light down in this town
You won't here me coming
Not the sound of my feet running
To take you down
These New York winters
Are killing me
And I won't say a word as I burn
Every building in this town
To the ground
And it makes me feel so small
To know that all
The damage won't change a thing
Because this place is becoming
(Worse and worse)
These New York winters
Are killing me
So I said to myself I
Need a change of pace
Every day gets worse and worse
And I can't keep running this race
And December has been better
But it's been years
Since I stood up and said
"It's time to face my fears"
And I won't say a word
My voice is too unfamiliar to be heard
And I won't say a word to anyone

I know it's late
But I've been up for days
We haven't spoken in far too long
Cause I have nothing left to say
And I'm a mess with all this constant stress
(You always know what's best)
But that won't stop the restlessness
All I have left are
Traces of the city skyline to remind me of
Where I'm from
We can't start over again
"It's so fucking cold"
She said "I don't know what to do Ben"
Cause you always said I'm worth more than I know
You always said I'm too impatient to let things grow
Maybe you're right but there's something you should know
First, close the door
I want you to know that
This love is war
Look out for the mines
Yeah we've all been here before
My body is weak, but my heart can endure
[x2]
I said "let's just get you in your bed"
Tomorrow we'll sew the seams
And you can tell me about your dreams

What's Left Of You

I wish that I could say the pain wasn't enough to keep me awake
Some nights it was just too much for me to take
This road is a dead end when all I want to do is just pretend
That I'm sitting next to my friend
Back then, I couldn't tell you when contemplated one man's end
So far, I found that searching is hard but it's not impossible
Back then, it was too much for me to handle but I learned
That if your pain keeps you in chains just don't
Dismantle what's left of you
You've got enough to get you through
You know when you died
A part of me died too
You've got enough to get you through
And it's so hard to say
We'll never share the stage again just you and me
(You and me)
And I know that it will all be Ok
When I'm not living just to wait for things to be like yesterday
Back then, it was too much for me to handle but I learned
That if your pain keeps you in chains just don't
Dismantle what's left of you
You've got enough to get you through
You know when you died
A part of me died too
You've got enough to get you through
Day two, words spoke with you
Left me thinking "What the fuck should I do?"

Well I'm looking for some kind of anchor
Someone to stand taller than me
To pull me up through these falling leaves
Well I've already got so much anger
Swelling up inside of me
I wasn't looking to closely for danger
And I didn't wind up where I wanted to be
You always said "reach for the stars"
But I could never see that far
And what's the point if this is all you are
[x2]
So let go of all the things holding you down, and you back
Or you might think that you're under attack, but no
We let it go
Well I'm looking for some kind of anchor
Someone to stand taller than me
To pull me up through these leaves
(And now here we are)
[x2]
Where we are right now
Is where we found ourselves
Don't ever say
That nothing is too far away

Stand Tall

I've gone and lost my sense of self thrown out the door
And back down on the floor again
I'm just glad that I've got my friends to stand
At my back when I need them
(When I need them)
I've got to quit beating myself up (over this)
Over things out of my control (it's out of my hands)
I'm finally at the point where I've got nothing left to lose
And I've got nothing more to prove
So lets set this night off right and stay looking up
Overcome these though times and never give up
I'm so glad I've got my friends to stand
At my back when I need them
(When I need them)
I got my friends, when I need them
I got my friends, when I need them
(We got our friends)
I got my friends
(To stand at our backs)
When I need them
(We got our friends)
I got my friends
(To stand at our backs)
When I need them
(We got our friends)
I got my friends
(To stand at our backs)
When I need them
(We got our friends)
I got my friends
(To stand at our backs)
When I need them
I've gone and lost my sense of self right out the door
And back down on the floor again
I've got splinters running through my face and fingers
From picking myself up through all this shit
I've got to quit beating myself up (over this)
Over things out of my control (it's out of my hands)
I'm finally at the point where I've got nothing left to lose
And I've got nothing more to prove
So let's set this night off right and stay looking up
Overcome these though times and never give up
[x3]
I've gone and lost myself again
