Side Mirror

Nothing short of nightmares
Creep up in my fears
I told you check the side mirror (told you check the side)
No anticipation
No hesitation
I told you check the side mirror (told you check the side)
This distance gives you closure
Over exposure
It’s tough to keep you sober (it’s tough to keep you sober)
These phones calls hold you over
But this bridge is so burnt
So go ahead check the side mirror (go ahead check the side)
I’m fucking terrified
You’ve been inside and terrorized this better life
It’s been a lie since 10/09
October Sky
You told me why
We’d never drift apart
But I should have checked the side
Impatience is a virtue
Prescriptions burn through
It’s not worth what they turn you into (not worth what they turn you into)
I still can’t find the words to
Fall on deaf ears on how you wasted ten years
But you never checked the side mirror
I’m drifting away

I falling down to earth like disconnected satellites
I told her I’ll be fine (I told her I’ll be fine)
Hit the atmosphere like dynamite and light the sky
I told her I’ll be fine (I told her I’ll be fine)
I swear to god I told her this is not the last time
I told her I’ll be fine (I told her I’ll be fine)
I swear on everything I wish I never asked why
I wish I never asked why
I’m falling down to earth in tragedy like ‘86
I told her I’ll be fine (I told her I’ll be fine)
Hit the ground and disappear into the radiance
I told her I’ll be fine (I told her I’ll be fine)
I swear to god I’m seeing nothing short of nightmares
I told her I’ll be fine (I told her I’ll be fine)
I swear to god I won't go down without a fight here
I won’t go down without a fight
Three forty-five
It’s the middle of the night
You raise your glass up all the time
She’s on your mind
I told you I’m alright
I know you hate that fucking line
I told you I’m wrong
Disown me I’m gone
Cause I’ve been a fuck up since you put me on
(The sky is falling)
I know that I’m wrong
I know that you’re right
This satellite's falling it’s your name I’m calling as I burn alive
(The sky is falling)
I’m falling down to earth like disconnected satellites
Hit the atmosphere like dynamite and light the sky
I swear to god I’m seeing nothing short of nightmares
I told her I’ll be fine (I told her I’ll be fine)
I swear to God I won’t go down without a fight here
I won’t go down without a fight
When I fell the sky fell down to
When I fell down the sky fell down too
When I fell the sky fell down too
I hope there’s no one left but you
When I fell the sky fell down to
When I fell down the sky fell down too
(The sky is falling)
When I fell the sky fell down too
I hope there’s no one left but you
(The sky is falling)

You’re the reason why that I can’t fall asleep at night
I read your story in this magazine
It might just be the saddest thing I know
Sixteen pages left me weary eyed
I can’t believe that hell is where you called home
But if that’s where the heart is then take me away
And take me back to the start of that beautiful day
When I saw your face for the first time
Face for the first time
You’re the reason why that I can’t fall asleep at night
Hope it sounds alright that I want you to be in my life
I’m overwhelmed to see you again
I’m overwhelmed to see you again
Discontent can change you over time
From seventeen to twenty-five I know
But this callused cycle shifted
Ever since we co-existed I’m back home
But if that’s where the heart is then take me away
And take me back to the start of that beautiful day
When I saw your face for the first time
Face for the first time
You’re the reason why
I can’t fall asleep at night
I’m overwhelmed
To see you again

Safety

There’s something in the way that you say my name
Her life was ruined by you
How do you not feel shamed?
You claim you’re suicidal
Keep sticking with that story
Tore me to shreds every weekend
Never gave up on New Found Glory
Ignore me I was just a kid then without safety
Without safety
I was just a kid then without safety
Without safety
Please God don’t medicate me now
Fear for my life if I come back down
Please God don’t medicate me now
Fear for my life if I come back
Please God don’t hesitate to call
Fear for my life I can’t break this fall
Please God don’t hesitate to call
Fear for my life that you broke
I can see the distance inside your eyes
You knew the implication
Addiction is a state of mind
Nights with no medication
Left from the last prescription
Prediction’s looking under five
What Went Wrong with another listen
Drifting I was just a kid then without safety
Without safety
I was just a kid then without safety
Without safety
Please God don’t medicate me now
Fear for my life if I come back down
Please God don’t medicate me now
Fear for my life if I come back
Please God don’t hesitate to call
Fear for my life I can’t break this fall
Please God don’t hesitate to call
I was just a kid then without safety

Sirens

You kept me up late again
I’m just a means to an end
And they keep asking me what you consider us
I consider us dead
I see the smoke in the air
I’m at the top of your stairs
I get to wondering if everything’s burning down
How much would I really care?
And all I hear is sirens
I look back at the horizon
All I hear is sirens
Echoes in the silence
Now I can’t see
The sky is way to bright here
Nothing shore of nightmares
Circle through my head as I fall back asleep
But I can tell there’s a spot left in hell that you’re saving for me
Yeah I can tell there’s as pot left in hell that you’re saving for me
All I hear is sirens calling out my name
Adrenaline’s a virus pumping through my veins
Even though it hurts I would kill to feel the pail
I would kill to feel the pain
All I hear is sirens calling out my name so loud
Screaming up to heaven come and take me now
But I’m not quite there and I’m not quite back to life
I see your name in the sky (shining bright in the dark)
Angels recite alibi (can’’t recall who you are)
As I look up into the clouds and the smoke constellations explode and collide
But they form into patterns that vaguely resemble your face
And I can tell there’s a spot left in hell and you’re saving my place

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.
