We can't stay here forever We'll lose our minds together And we won't be having fun It'll feel like we're the only one September of 2020 Some of us moved across the country All to move to the same city All under the same guarentee That all these brand new memories Will replace all your old memories So don't forget these new faces You will grow from these experiences But then something unpredicted The over use of the word unprecidented Now we're all trapped in our own rooms Four walls resembling our own tomb But don't forget these memories, don't forget These memories will replace all your other memories And it all will happen From the comfort of your very own room, well We can't be here forever We'll lose our minds together And we won't be having fun It'll feel like we're the only ones We can't be here forever We can be here however Just as long as we're having fun And we're not hurting anyone Well just last year We were all living in fear About how we can't get caught with eachother They'll tell on us to our mothers So last year We all gathered around here To pretend it was a year just like any other So finish your drink and grab another The fear of survival The fear of survival keeps us going, and going Until we end up dead We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head We don't have a bible We don't need a bible to keep us going, and going Until we end up dead We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head We are the parking lot kids Of course we give a shit And even if we didn't, we wouldn't last long We'd barely even make it to the end of this song We are the parking lot kids We made a habit Of coming to this spot with our masks on As long as we're together we hope we form a bond This won't last forever This can last however Just as long as we're having fun And we're not hurting anyone I can't be here forever I don't want to be here forever I just want to have some fun At the expense of everyone The fear of survival The fear of survival keeps us going, and going Until we end up dead We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head We don't have a bible We don't need a bible to keep us going, and going Until we end up dead We'll wake up the next morning with a slight pain in our head We hope we remember next morning We hope we remember next morning

It was Halloween or something We were trapped on the island Thought there was a bus that could take us off But I guess we were just a little naive A haunted maze or something People jumping and scaring But when we got lost we all froze up There was no way back into the city Halloween or something we went To the parking garage What a classic place to be On this classic holiday to have a party Step one is to have some fun Step two is to drink until you can't anymore Then you'll sit down on the floor Try to pound down a couple more Find someone that you want to kiss Stand close to them and ask them questions like this Where are you from? Is it better than here? Oh I bet it doesn't even compare Because in a covid city we all got the same agenda Just drink 'till you can't even stand up I know it doesn't seem like a lot to do But it sure is a hell lot more than what we're used to It's our first holiday away from our parents So we all had the general consensus To do something that we'll never forget You gotta love the irony in that statement And we'll try to remember this night For as long as we can And the cops, they swiftly came As soon as they got the call There's graffiti on the wall of the parking lot And who would've thought That it would be the kids that were running away As quickly as they came Beer cans crushed on the floor Red wine, cigarettes, and more Split up in pairs Go down the stairs And we'll meet each other there We'll meet each other where? Well there's a park that's just across the block It's about a ten or fifteen minute walk Oh God Dennis and Jackson stayed Oh good they're taking the blame (They're getting away) (You can't catch me) (Somebody stop them) (Go go go go go go go) (They went that way) (You can't run forever) (Ya? Watch me) We'll try to remember this night For as long as we can But if we wake up in the middle of the morning And don't know a single thing Then I guess it never happened If we wake up in the middle of the afternoon And can't recall a single thing Then I guess it never happened The light that shines above this city Oh god, look up, doesn't it look pretty? I swear I scared my family Because now they think they will never see me But am I really the one to blame? The atmosphere here just isn't the same In a covid city we all got the same agenda Just drink 'till you can't even stand up If I wake up in the middle of the morning And don't know a single thing Then I guess it never happened If I wake up in the middle of the afternoon And can't recall a single thing Then I guess it never happened And if they ask us There were none of us there There were none of us there There were none of us there Oh god I wish there were none of us there None of us there There were none of us there There were none of us there Oh god I wish there were none of us there I swear it's always so much better the first time Going to a party that doesn't cost a dime Go there enough and pretty soon you'll find You're the only one having a bad time You think your friends really care if you die The ones that you met, ya, just last night? If there were none of us there There'd be none of us there Oh god I wish there were none us there None of us there I wish none of us were there That would make this whole thing easier If there were none of us there Ok, ok, we'll do this one last time Step one is to have some fun Step two is to drink until you can't anymore Then you'll sit down on the floor Try to pound down a couple more Find someone that you want to kiss Stand close to them and ask them questions like this Where are you from? Is it better than here? Oh I bet it doesn't even compare Because in a covid city we all got the same agenda Just drink 'till you can't even stand up I know it doesn't seem like a lot to do But it sure is a hell lot more than what we're used to It's our first holiday away from our parents So we all had the general consensus To do something that we'll never forget You gotta love the irony in that statement We'll try to remember this night For as long as we can

Don't waste my time Take me out to dinner I'll bring you back to mine And you'll see me much thinner I am afraid to dance That's the only thing I haven't done yet You aren't afraid to dance Love is what you wanna forget Don't help me I am not the one who needs helping Before you check mine Maybe you should check yours Because there's only one of us Who's not so sure Don't save me I am not the one who needs saving You came into my mind As fast as you could And you stayed there Probably longer than you should Do you remember that holiday When we went down to the beach to stay For a little while but you had to ask me Hey what do you think about PDA? Because You held my hand so tightly to yours But you didn't even have the courage to say Don't get used to the feeling It's gonna make this next card so much harder to play Don't waste my time Take me out to dinner I'll bring you back to mine And you'll see me much thinner I'm not afraid to dance If that's all we have left You are afraid to dance Because that's all we have left I'm not afraid to dance Because that's all we have left You are afraid to dance You know that's all we have left (It's love) (It's love) (It's love) (It's love) (Love, bullshit) (Love, bullshit) (It's love) (It's love) (It's love) (It's love) (Love, bullshit) (Love, bullshit) It's love It's love It's love It's love Love, bullshit Love, bullshit It's love It's love It's love It's love Love, bullshit Love, bullshit

(I don't have peace of mind) (I don't have peace of mind) (You can not take away my belief) (I don't have peace of mind) (I don't have peace of mind) So I guess this is my home now Because I just like being alone now And I always hated it how in my mind I just stood out in a crowd And the voices that are telling me to shut up are over powering the people so loud I guess this is looking like home now Because I like being alone now I guess I'll see you when the world I guess I'll see you when the world I guess I'll see you when the world I guess I'll see you when the world ends (To calm it down when I get loud) (I get loud ----) (To calm it down when when I get loud) (When I get loud) (When I get loud loud loud loud loud) I don't care what you are thinking Just as long as you keep it out of my own brain I seem to have this special power when around me Everyone's thinking the exact same thing And it's all about me, all about me I know exactly what you are thinking It's all eyes on me, all eyes on me This can't be a healthy way of living I hide it and scream, just hide it and scream Scream at the top of my capability But no one hears me, no one hears me I think I have reached tranquility I guess I'll see you when the world I guess I'll see you when the world I guess I'll see you when the world I guess I'll see you when the world ends (You can you can you can hear his voice) (Hear his voice, hear his voice) (It's faint but I can hear it) (You can hear his voice, hear his voice) (You can hear his voice) (It's it's it's faint faint faint but I can hear it) (It's faint but I can hear it) All the skater people skating around Will look at me as I fall down I know that they're thinking about me in their head Even if they won't know me, not even when I'm dead So I go up to the parking garage Where I can skate without being judged And even though I will never improve At least I can skate without you being rude Even if that's not true I convince myself that it is true All the skater people skating around Will look at me as I fall down I know that they're thinking about me in their head Even if they won't know me, not even when I'm dead I go up to the parking garage Where I can skate without being judged And even though I will never improve At least I can skate without you being rude Even if that's not true I convince myself that it is true Ya even if that's not true I still convince myself that it is true

New Light 03:44
(I've never never felt like this like this) Chapter eleven None of us are getting to heaven So might as well make the most Of this hell we've found ourselves in Unable to change our position Sometimes it's hard to tell The false from the non-fiction Better get off the street I've got a government ID Stating that I'm older than twenty So now I get my beer for free Well just minus the fee Of having someone get it for me (I've never never felt like this like this) (I've never never felt like this like this) There are no rules When you're living like fools We're always supplied Better ways to get high Dennis stays the night Well I guess that's alright Run through the halls Try not to get caught We'll get kicked out If they hear us shout Hide the beer in my shirt Well I guess that might work (I've never never felt like this like this) (I've never never felt like this like this) (I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for been looking) (It's once in a lifetime, you would not believe me) (I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for been looking) (It's once in a lifetime, you would not believe me) This building that I am standing on is burning down There's nothing else left to do This burning building is falling apart, I'm gonna fly There's nothing else left to do It's alright We're all fine There's no fright In the new light We're alright No one dies If you step Into the new light It's alright We're all fine There's no fright In the new light We're alright No one dies If you step Into the new light This burning building is falling apart, I'm gonna fly There's nothing else left to do

It was late on our way to Max's apartment Dark already, sun was setting There was paper on your tongue and We didn't know when it would kick in But when we got there that's when it started to sink in Because you couldn't stop laughing and I just couldn't resist Walk faster Not too fast Just a little bit faster Than the group that we're after And tell me about the plants And tell me about the trees I won't hear a single thing But we'll still be walking in sync I'll be waiting I'll be waiting Do you remember the weekend when it all changed We spent the day playing games then we went back to Zanes It felt nice with your head laying right next to mine and I swear that it felt like we talked all night when you said What? You didn't get any sleep in those three hours? Come watch the sunrise with me through the towers Your view of the city is so pretty, it's incredible I just closed my eyes, let out a laugh and said in a little And later that evening we we're supposed to go to the parking lot We put on a movie, it got late so we said "maybe not" We got a little drunk, maybe drunker than we thought But when we're together we don't care about the brain rot And you know those moments in life when it all just feels right? Well those nine months with you everything felt more than alright I lost track of time, hell I lost all of my sight But it didn't matter because you save me every night And it all just felt right It all just felt right Right? Right And it all just felt right It all just felt right Right? Right (Honey, honey no) (Wake up) (What are you doing?) (Aren't you gonna be late for work?) Oh no don't mind me I'm just waiting Waiting for the coffee That's right I am waiting Waiting for the coffee Because sometimes it feels right waiting Waiting for the coffee

I stepped into the new light Looking out at a new skyline I'm the only one who feels right But I doubt I'm the one who's blind Speaking of which, I dropped out That's not a conversation I'm excited about They'll chew you up and they'll spit you out You'll be left with nothing if you have any doubt I'm not getting rid of my avenues I'm just trying to do something new Life is fun until it depends on you I'd be fucked if I didn't do something new You should work harder, you should stick with the plan There's a cost to everyone who throws it into the can I just don't want to see you living out of a van You had a good thing going, don't throw it out man I can't get a degree, even for free I can't make a business out of cold calling I don't even give a fuck about the money I just want to see people inspired by me Now my dad's calling me and I'm crying He says I don't even know why you're trying You'll go broke by the end of year three But if only he could see Now my brother's calling me screaming Saying you're making a mistake, it's showing How you can't stick with anything But if only he could see We're the same person somehow So how is it different now? You gave me the confidence to quit When I didn't know I needed it How is it different now? We're the same person somehow It's so much easier to pretend When you're already at the end Side to side and left to left There's only one way to go and that's right When you're at rock bottom, you can't hit it again At least that's what I'm telling my friends How is it different now? We're the same person somehow It's so much easier for you to pretend Because you're already at the end

(Wake up, wake up, wake up) (Wake up, now wake up) (Wake up, now wake up) (Time to wake up, time to) (Wake up, now wake up) (Wake up, now wake up) (Time to wake up, time to) (This is your time) (This is your moment) (And, and, uh and uh) (On and on) (This is your time) (This is your moment) (And, and, and uh) (On and on) (This is your time) (This is your moment) (And uh and uh) (On and on) (This is your time) (This is your moment) (Come on buddy) (Wake up and live) Ok just this once I'll promise you this, I will fight for this I'll make a note, I will make a list I'll keep in my mind for months Ok I'll mess up twice But I'm new to this and you understand You'll hear me out, you'll let me expand Keeping it in is my only vice Last month was fun, I hope we get to do it again Staring at the sun, burning holes in our head Letting the aliens know that we're willing To go to outer space if they're in need We'll fly through the milky way with good intentions Secretly hoping the journey will never end If we're out here for a year then we won't care Real life just adds stress and we're all self aware That this might not last forever So we'll fight to cherish this forever It goes on and on and on On and on and on On and on and on On and on and on God I wish the summer would last a bit longer The leaves are falling and soon it will be winter Everyone seems to be going back to school While I'm sitting here working myself like a fool How do you choose what dreams are worth chasing? With this new schedule I barely have the time to sing Am I enjoying myself or am I waiting for spring? I may have gone too far into this whole dropout thing I don't have anyone, I don't have anyone I got these four walls and a window that doesn't open I don't go anywhere, I don't go anywhere At home I'm a tourist trapped in my own brain And it's two steps forward and six steps back I swear this city's gonna give my mind a heart attack Two steps forward and six steps back I swear this city's giving my mind a heart attack So I'll just move away Leave everyone who wants me to stay I don't mind, I don't mind I don't mind, I don't mind I don't mind, I don't mind I don't mind, I don't mind What do you mean you don't mind? Is love for me really that hard to find? No this isn't right You said you'd fight Don't leave me tonight Alone in the Portland light I wish that I could explain Why I really feel this way The atmosphere here just isn't the same At home I'm a tourist in my brain I wish that I could explain Why I really feel this way The atmosphere here just isn't the same At home I'm a tourist in my brain As the stars disappeared All of my peers They just sat here As I ran in fear They said "wow the sky looks so damn clear tonight" As the stars disappeared All of my peers They just sat here As I ran in fear They said "wow the sky looks so damn clear tonight" Last month was fun, I hope we get to do it again Staring at the sun, burning holes in our head Letting the aliens know that we're willing To go to outer space if they're in need We'll fly through the milky way Secretly hoping the journey will never end If we're out there for a year then we won't care Real life just adds extra stress and we're all aware

My Heart 04:11
It doesn't take much to destroy something beautiful I just wish that it would take a little bit more It all seemed to happen so quick I made a decision in two weeks then split You had hoped that I would feel different Fourteen nights were cried over it I have to get out of the city to breathe I visited my parents just last week The warm air in the sky made me believe That there was something that I needed to tweak It doesn't take much to destroy something beautiful I just wish that it would take a little bit more (And her heart rate dropped) (And her heart rate dropped) (And her heart rate dropped) (And her heart rate dropped) (Swear to God I think my heart just stopped) (Swear to God I think my heart just stopped)

Back To Life 08:28
(I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for) (Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime) (I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for) (Once in a lifetime, believe me) There's ghosts, there's ghosts, there's ghosts haunting me The ghosts of my past is taunting me Saying that I will never change From coast to coast to coast, I am still the same I'll never be different But just maybe, I can improve I'm climbing Through a broken window Of a car flipped over on a bridge twenty feet above water There's no one around So I look down and dive into the river but I don't hear a sound I just see the fishes swimming around Now I'm alone Nowhere to roam All by myself and I'm covered in sweat Like I just woke up From a bad dream I feel so lost so I pick up the phone Hey, how are you? Tell me something new I know I'm going crazy You don't have to remind me I'm on the building Can you hear me sing "I'm gonna fly, there's nothing else left to do" (I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for) (Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime) (I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for) (Once in a lifetime, believe me) (I did not become someone different) (I did not become someone different) (That I did not want to be) (I'm new here) (I can't imagine being anyone other than who I am) (I can't imagine being anyone other than who I am) (You have to change your mind before you change the way you living) (It's something that no one will ever be able to capture on film) Come back to life And forget I died I wanna take back what's mine It's well worth a try I want to remember the sensation Of what it's like to have a conversation With someone who enjoys my presence Someone who enjoys so much more than what I present (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (I did not not not become someone) (I did not not not become someone) (That I did not want want to be) (I'm- I'm here, I'm- I'm here) (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man) (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (You have to change your mind before you change the way you living) (I did not become someone different) (It's something that no one will be able to capture on film) (I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for) (Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime) (I've never felt like this before) (I've never felt like this before) (It's what I've been looking for) (Once in a lifetime, believe me) Come back to life Forget I died I wanna take back what's mine It's well worth a try I want to remember the sensation Of what it's like to have a conversation With someone who enjoys my presence Someone who enjoys so much more than what I present This world seems so irresistible to pain You gotta look around and think about what's to gain I know it's easier to just turn around and leave But you're wasting the oxygen you've been given to breathe A quarter of my life has gone away If I die tomorrow will I be satisfied today? The answer is probably not But you got to make due with what you got I'm tired of waiting, I'm not sitting anymore I'm going and I'm taking what's mine from the store And if when I'm running I hear the police Then maybe they'll understand why I'm not on my knees I can't wait to say twenty-four more days 'Till Christmas because then I will no longer miss The child that I was the child that I am The child with hopes and goals and dreams and a plan A quarter of my life has gone away If I die tomorrow will I be satisfied today? The answer is probably not But we got to make due with what we got This world seems so irresistible to pain You gotta look around and think about what's to gain I know it's easier to just turn around and leave But you're wasting the oxygen you've been given to breathe (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man) (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (I did not not not become someone) (I did not not not become someone) (That I did not want want to be) (I'm- I'm here, I'm- I'm here) (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man) (I can't ima- can't ima- can't i-man) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (Anyone other- anyone other- anyone) (You have to change your mind before you change the way you living) (I did not become someone different) (It's something that no one will be able to capture on film) (Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it) (Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it) (Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it) (It's just one of those once in a lifetime things eh?) (It's what I've been looking for for ages) (It's just one of those things. Look) (Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it) (Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it) (Oh Miss Maria I can't believe it) (It's just one of those once in a lifetime things eh?) (It's just, I've never felt like this before)
