Hindsight

What do you do when your world comes crashing down
From a fork in the road, that you left years ago
And you're given one last shot at redemption
At self worth, and make it all hurt a little less
These decisions
I never missed them
Do you ever look back and think about how
Different it could be, if you made another choice
What kinda person would you be, would you act differently
Would you be happy, or just like me
I guess that I'm not over it yet
And admitting it doesn't help
And what if you had the power to start again
Except you're starting over from this point
Would it be worth the risk, in hoping this is the fix
Or just leave it, and hope it fixes itself
It's kinda tempting
Not worth resetting?
In hindsight I'm not sure I would do it all again,
I'm just waiting for my happy ending
And it might help to talk about it
With someone even if it gets a bit depressing

A Million Miles Away

Goddamn, I'm outta this place
No need to remember this face
I'm gone, so long, so long
Goodbye, to all of my friends
Or at least the ones who pretend
They care, I swear, who cares
Sometimes I think I forget
Just how much I'll never regret
Some day, today, one day
Goodbye to everyone
Never know how much I never got
Done, when I'm gone. So long
And it feels like a million miles away
And it feels like I'm coming home
I can feel those fake smiles just fade away
And it feels like I'm back at square one
Don't part with tears in your eyes
I'll see right through your disguise
So dry your eyes, don't cry
Is there anything you wanna say
At least before I turn my back away
Don't say it to my face
And it feels like a million miles away
And it feels like I'm coming home
I can feel those fake smiles just fade away
And it feels like I'm back at square one
I ain't no problem for you to solve
Not another experiment gone wrong
There's nothing wrong with me, you know
I'm over it, I'm going home
And it feels like a million miles away
And it feels like I'm coming home
I can feel those fake smiles just fade away
And it feels like I'm back at square one

These Changes

So here it goes again
It's almost like this feeling didn't end
When you're under attack by the friends that you have
And they're telling you it's really not so bad
Face it
You will never save me
I don't think that I can live with these
Changes
Don't think I can take it
I don't really think that it's for me
So get dressed, get cool and get wise
And become someone that I despise
This helping hand you show
It's not reaching out so just let go
The smiles that they fake will only ever change
Not when you're better off but they see what they made
Face it
You will never save me
I don't think that I can live with these
Changes
God I really hate it
I don't really think that it's for me
So get dressed, get cool and get wise
And become someone that I despise
But I guess already halfway there now
God I really hate these guys

Hero of the Night

Take a good look at me
Standing here so half empty
But I can't seem to find the glass
Going through life so half assed
Going through the motions
Of faking my emotions
No one wants to deal with this
Put on your smile and let's get pissed
Call it as you see it
And you'll see it turning to shit
Maybe next time I could find my own fix
Cause I'm Hero of the night
Loser everyday
And I never stop to drink away the pain
Show no signs of stopping
Cause I don't know my problems
Being fine is so passe
And who needs friends like this anyway
Walk me through your thinking
And help me pick up drinking
Cause you need drinks to be yourself
And your self could use some help so
Tell me what to do
Help me become just like you
Replace all my problems with something new
Becoming hero of the night
Loser everday
And I'll never have to see things my way
One day
One time
All you gotta do is throw me a lifeline
One joke
On me
Waking up and realising
I'm alone but I'm not trying
Try to understand
I need helping hands
But you need to know that I have different plans
Cause I'm hero of the night
Loser everyday
Hero of the night
Loser in everyway
Maybe I can make it out
Maybe I can save it now
Maybe I can drink away the pain
