What You Are Praying For

Cause you’re lying right between

What’s real and what’s dream

And you can’t quite keep it apart.

We’ve seen them do it wrong.

But they think they’ve got it right.

I’ll just keep holding on.

Saying anything to change your mind.

 

Woah. Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you won’t look harder,

Won’t look harder.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you barely notice anymore

That I’m still dying to be what

You’re praying for.

 

Yeah, we’ve been distracted.

But they’ve given up.

I’ll still make this last cause,

Now it’s all I know.

Oh finally, finally.

It’s done and it’s finished,

But they start it again,

Cause it’s not quite perfect.

I’m not quite perfect.

 

Woah. Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you won’t look harder,

Won’t look harder.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you barely notice anymore

That I’m still dying to be what

You’re praying for.

 

Dont, give up, on me.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you won’t look harder,

Won’t look harder.

You can’t see

The change in me

But you barely notice anymore

That I’m still dying to be what

You’re praying for.

Christmas Wishlist (Video)

It's an old song, that I wrote and recorded over christmas break. Don't know why I never put it up. The lyrics are on here but I thought I'd put up the music version. :)?

For This Oxygen

Your face told a story

That my books never could.

But you were never careful

Of the lessons you were teaching.

Your trouble clouded me

From being who I was.

You burned your memories

Into my eyes, they’re all I see.

 

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again,

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of trying to be you.

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again.

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of wanting to be you.

 

There’s gold in misery,

But there’s more in happiness.

You never told me that,

My tears had strength in them.

That’s all they wanted.

To be caught.

You couldn’t give me that.

Though I’d give you anything.

Though I gave you everything.

 

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again,

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of trying to be you.

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again.

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of wanting to be you.

 

And I’ll burn, myself out.

No need to set me on fire.

Oh I’ll let, myself out.

No need to help me,

You wouldn’t dare.

 

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again,

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of trying to be you.

Oh, for this oxygen.

I’ll never cry again.

Cause I’ll never let you put me in that box

Of wanting to be you.

Never Looked Back

With all the problems in my head

It’s a wonder I can keep a straight face

Don’t you agree that it’s not real

Cause confirmation is exactly what I’ll never need

All the time that I spend chasing

The answers to my questions down

I find more questions that need answers

I find more silence in my sound

 

Mistake me for my voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

And now I’m up so high.

Mistake this for your voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

You always looked the other way,

Oh, so I just never looked back.

 

With the all people in  my way

It’s a winder I can never get to you

Please don’t agree that none of them are real

Our arguements are now what I live for.

All the time I spend chasing,

Chasing you down,

I find more secrets that you kept from me

More things to figure out.

 

Mistake me for my voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

And now I’m up so high.

Mistake this for your voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

You always looked the other way,

Oh, so I just never looked back.

 

I don’t sound like myself, tonight.

I don’t look like myself in the candlelight.

I don’t sound like myself tonight,

Woah.

I don’t sound like myself, tonight.

I don’t look like myself in the candlelight,

I don’t sound like myself tonight,

So I’ll burn it down, start all over,

And never,

Look,

Back.

 

Mistake me for my voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

And now I’m up so high.

Mistake this for your voice,

I know you could.

Cause you never saw my face,

You always looked the other way,

Oh, so I just never looked back.

When It Gets This Way

My sleep is restless with out you

Being restless next to me

I know you’re coming back

But when your gone,

The minutes feel like eternity.

I shouldn’t miss you quite this bad.

You know it’s torture, when it get’s this way.

 

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I won’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Mean it, you have to mean it.

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I can’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Hear it, I have to hear it.

 

I counted my weaknesses today

You kept coming to mind.

But you’re my every strength

So how can that be,

How could I confuse that.

I shouldn’t miss you quite this bad.

You know it’s torture, when it gets that way.

 

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I won’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Mean it, you have to mean it.

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I can’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Hear it, I have to hear it.

 

I don’t know why,

They’ve said it before,

All the ghosts.

But maybe from you,

It’d be the truth,

It’d mean the most.

 

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I won’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Mean it, you have to mean it.

Please say, you won’t forget me

Cause if you do I can’t go on.

Please say, you’ll always love me.

Hear it, I have to hear it.

Put Out Your Hands

You make arrows in your basement

Little darts to penetrate my heart

They inject me with a poison

Like I’ve never known

 

There’d be no need to shoot me down

If you told me that you cared

If you showed that you were there

After everyone was gone

 

This, doesn’t, have to be the hard way

I would give you my heart,

Just put out your hands

Stop pretending it’s bad,

Just give yourself over,

I would give you my heart,

Just put out your hands.

 

You keep letters written

On the inside of your tongue

But how am I supposed to read them

When they’re nowhere in view

 

There’d be no need to keep it secret

If you told me that you cared

If you showed that you’d be there

After everyone was gone.

 

This, doesn’t, have to be the hard way

I would give you my heart,

Just put out your hands

Stop pretending it’s bad,

Just give yourself over,

I would give you my heart,

Just put out your hands.

 

Suddenly you hit one knee

And I’m the one fighting.

One finger to still my lips

And you say you wanna start trying.

 

This, doesn’t, have to be the hard way

I would give you my heart,

Just put out your hands

Stop pretending it’s bad,

Just give yourself over,

I would give you my heart,

Just put out your hands.

Just put out your hands.

Just put out your hands.
