Adrift 03:42
Break a bottle on the bow, return from where sent But the ocean knows of no such agreement Cause rough waters hold your ship adrift here So you'll call this home, just set your anchor When you first untied you never dreamt you'd lose your way But it's easy to live out a year in a day Nightmares do come true, vessels take on waves But there's no rule saying you can't steer away Cause rough waters hold your ship adrift here So you'll call this home, just set your anchor Once more you've lost your course Settle for the place that has you Just set your anchor

To prove a point that we're one of a kind We'll try to hold all our worth in hand Not by choice we will fake a smile I have been told that's whats in demand So we'll all hold ourselves down Cause it's long to wait for the world before us to unfold Nothin beats when all eyes just beam at all our highs, lows, and meaningless Sure is sweet how our comfort leans on whether' not all eyes are still on Mainstream Individualists Yeah We'll all hold ourselves down Cause it's long to wait for the world before us to unfold Truth be told I want a way out The less time I come around I'll tell them all how I figured them out The last time i come around I'll tell them all how i figured them out

As a kid I would fake who I really was In hopes of approval Getting thrown every way between legal guardians who have deemed me useless And it will be a while till we are all fine Just don't see the point wasting all your time For the meanwhile I will quietly fall behind Till we reach the point where we are all finally home Every face that i make conceals the way I Feel about the present So I guess I'll partake in your small talk When I can see right through it And it will be a while till we are all fine Just don't see the point wasting all your time For the meanwhile I will quietly fall behind Till we reach the point where we are all fine Please don't assume a common mistake I'm sure I don't want to be a witness From now on I'll see the moments that follow I'll leave without disturbing a soul No need to wake, no need to worry Alone I'll meet, meet the moments that follow Please don't assume a common mistake I'm sure I don't want to be a witness From now on I'll see the moments that follow I rest while whistles hurry my way For no I'll wait for the moments that follow

Don't crawl around looking for something you may have lost Walk the other way, and search for grounds you have yet to walk I've heard that some people choose to never move alone Haven't found a way to claim that idea for my own Don't call me out, swear to god I will charge with all I've got Any other way, would show a side of me that I won't Why hurry, I can tell you can barely decide to come or go Sure would be a waste to live another day left unwooed So whats the score now, honey I forgot what we're playing to Cause when we both go running I don't know whether win or lose So what's the score now, honey I forgot what we're playing to Cause I see it all the same I'll offer the world that we could have some day Fall into the same routine I'll cover my eyes until you walk away

choose faults to define yourself separate from those who don't waste every, every waking breath diagnosing words and so i know we've had to hold on for so long we both lost track of just exactly what went wrong even though i know we've had to hold on for so long i hope that you will find the one that won't do harm i'll say, to take back every word said would be a waste i'd hate to watch this carry on over towards life after me and so i know we've had to hold on for so long we both lost track of just exactly what went wrong even though i know we've had to hold on for so long i hope that you will find the one that won't do harm your fault was patience here just know i will ware off soon

All night he waits for the right time to unleash all he's troubled with It seems to eventually fall to the one he gave away With that pint of whiskey in sight that is sure to land him in hell He might eventually fall to the short term feeling well As he raises his glass for a toast Claims the worst is about to unfold Oh what the other ones will say While the broken man clears his throat
