King of Forever Alone

Wake up today, put all my dreams away
Fall back asleep, ‘cause there’s no need to keep
Pretending there’s more to life than this
Still, I can’t help but just to send a wish out
Always wanted to know what it’d feel like
To experience love at first sight
Finding what they sell on the streets is harder than it looks
But really, is there such a thing as true love by the books?
But it’s okay
Guess I’ll claim my title of King of Forever Alone
Wake up again, brush out the bed head
Don’t turn away, gotta stand ground and stay
And keep believing that there’s more to this
Even if it means I have to fight, because
Finding what they sell on the streets is harder than it looks
But really, is there such a thing as true love by the books?
But it’s okay
I’ll just play my role of King of Forever Alone
Wake up and breathe, just gotta believe
Chin up, you’ll find just what you had in mind
Finding what they sell on the streets is harder than it looks
But really, is there such a thing as true love by the books?
But it’s okay
I’ll be okay
I’ll rule as King of Forever Alone

Wish We Never Met
02:32

I wish we never met
I don’t want to forget
All the good times we had
But all I see is the bad
You used to be my favorite person
Until you disappeared, disappeared
Didn’t think that this would end up
Going nowhere, going nowhere
‘Cause I miss what we used to be
All the times we’d sit around and watch TV
Now you and I can’t see eye to eye
No matter how hard we try
I wish we never met
I don’t want to forget
All the good times we had
But all I see is the bad
I wish you never left
Me standing all alone
Now all I have are regrets
To hold these broken bones
Already dug this hole
So I’ll just bury in it, bury in it
Nothing else for us to do
Since it all went to shit, I’m tired of it
And I’m sorry for stepping out of bounds
When did we end up on unfamiliar grounds?
Why do you keep running through my mind
Even after all this time?
What happened? Where did we go wrong?
I didn’t want to have to write another stupid song
Where the feelings and meanings were all lost in the fire
But I guess it was too strong for me to ignore the desire
Was it me? Was it you? Now I don’t know what to do
I only wish I had more time so I can finally see this through
I just want you back in my arms, so take yourself out my heart
Chasing nothing’s hard to do when I’m running away from the truth

Holding Onto Nothing
03:34

I’m feeling down again
Lost alone in you
Left footprints in the sand
By the ocean blue
Don’t let me drown again
While the tides are high
‘Cause once they’ve settled down
I’ll lay down and cry
Don’t call me “friend”
‘Cause this can’t be the end
Can’t we go back to when it was all pretend?
Turn out the lights
Tell me good night
Guess all I wanted was lost back then
I should just let it go, but I never knew how
And the beating drums never sounded so loud
I just wanna feel something
If I can find a way to get you to stay
Maybe then the noise will finally go away
Guess I’m just holding onto nothing
Onto nothing now
I’m feeling strange again
But what’s left to do?
It’s fine, just stick to the plan
Doesn’t matter if I’m deep blue
And you’ll be okay without me
But I don’t want to be okay without you
I should just let it go, but I never knew how
And the beating drums never sounded so loud
I just wanna feel something
If I can find a way to get you to stay
Maybe then the noise will finally go away
Guess I’m just holding onto nothing
Onto nothing now
Don’t call me “friend”
‘Cause this can’t be the end
Can’t we go back to how it was back when?
Turn out the lights
Tell me good-bye
Guess I truly lost the fight
Wish I could let it go, but I never knew how
And the beating drums never sounded so loud
I just wanted to feel something
If I could find a way to get you to stay
Maybe then this noise would finally go away
Guess I was holding onto nothing…
I should just let it go, but I never knew how
And the beating drums never sounded so loud
I just wanna feel something
If I can find a way to get you to stay
Maybe then the noise will finally go away
Guess I’m just holding onto nothing

Comet Down
03:43
|

|
I can’t believe it lasted merely for a moment
Looking back, I wonder where all that time went
‘Cause it seems that these hands spin faster and faster
Than the falling stars themselves
And you’re a million miles above, floating ‘round Saturn’s rings
And here I am, on Earth, wondering what could be
I’ll send a rocket up, just to see you again
Before the morning breaks
And I’m coming down again
Oh, how long has it been?
I’ll adorn you with this beautiful crown
Before I ride this comet down, ride this comet down
I’ve spent all day thinking, trying to map out your orbit
Spin the moons around to see you fade a little more
Your gravity is holding me tighter and tighter
And I lose my mind
But you’re a million miles away, spinning closer to your own
I’m wiping stars out of my eyes, just to find I’m alone
And I know you’re out there somewhere, but you feel like a ghost
When the morning breaks
And I’m coming down again…
We’ll chart these new constellations
That’s my final gift to you
This fever dream’s got me going
My universe is made anew
But I’m coming down again
Oh, how long has it been?
I’ll adorn you with this beautiful crown
Before I ride this comet down…
And I’m coming down again
Oh, how long has it been?
I’ll adorn you with this beautiful crown
Before I ride this comet down, ride this comet down

gloire (outro)

Oh we'll bask in the glory that we reaped from our hard work
It may take time to acomplish, coming up from the dirt
Don't you know, though? That's what makes it all the better
When we've come out triumphant after all the stormy weather

Soldier (bonus track)

I watched you sleep in your bed
Through the cracks in your lips, I heard the words you said
“Please forgive me if I’ve gone away
But I know you’ll be okay”
I could see you in my mind
Though I didn’t think much of it at the time
I asked what you’d want me to sing if you leave
You turned away, leaving me to grieve
You marched to war with yourself
Fighting just so you could regain some health
And as I wait for you to come back home
I could see you as you soldiered on
As the light broke, so did my heart
At the thought of us being so far apart
Never thought I’d have to prepare this song
But I guess I was always wrong
You marched to war with yourself
Fighting just so you could regain some health
And as I wait for you to come back home
I could see you as you soldiered on
I closed my eyes and laid me down to sleep
Fighting hard just so I wouldn’t weep
And as I wait for you to come back to me
I could see you as you soldiered on
You marched into war by yourself
Fighting hard just so you could regain some health
I clenched my fists tight to try and stay strong
As I marched and soldiered on
I closed my eyes and laid me down to sleep
Fighting hard so I wouldn’t weep
And though I know you won’t come back to me
I still see you as you soldier on
So I know I must soldier on
