When you look upon yourself in the mirror,
Do you see what I see?
Because the way you look away when I say,
"You're amazing."
Just gives me proof that you're out of this world,
It's okay, It's okay, it's okay.

It's time for you to learn,
To learn to love yourself.

You're framed inside a picture,
That's moving out of the gallery,
And your eyes hold the stars,
While your hands hold the torch,
Of all the art in the gallery you're the most stunning.

It's time for you to learn,
To learn to love yourself.

And when the sun sets on the hills,
It reminds me of your smile,
Call me cheesy and a dork now if you want,
But I'm telling you the truth, my dear,
It's the truth,
So for me,
Could you find a way,
To love yourself.

Coming clean,
Running my blood down the sand,
It'll filter through the cracks until it reaches my corpse,
The corpse of mine will be revived,
Coming clean as they wanted me.

I won't be gone,
I won't be gone,
I won't be gone,
I won't be gone.

Coming clean,
A new father reaches through the veil,
Setting fire to my bones,
Lighting my passion ablaze,
He runs the blood back through my veins,
Casting a new spirit to life,
Coming clean, is that what that means?

I won't be gone,
I won't be gone,
I won't be gone,
I won't be gone.

Coming clean,
I'm just a son,
Who's scared to try,
Scared to see beyond his own irises,
Shake me down and rid me of these vices,
Coming clean, as I lay in the blood-laced sand.

I won't be gone,
Tell the father I'm sorry,
Tell Him I'm sorry,
I won't be gone.

It's been raining,
But that's okay cause I'm following close behind,
The flood goes up to my knees,
It only goes up to your toes though,
How and why are you able to walk like that?
After years of flooding I guess I've learned,
That giving up is easier then taking the lead,
Though now you seem to be willing,
Holding me up by the wrist and,
Wrapping me up in black sand.

Hello my dear, I've been missing you,
Hope I see you tonight,
But will our mothers let us stay?
Well it's hard to say.

It's been snowing,
A storm is on it's way,
One that will cover me up,
Becoming my new tomb,
But if you're still willing,
Will you dig me up and out,
I'll hold you gratefully, gracefully,
Between the chorus and choirs,
Smiling white wolves come down,
From mountains above staircases,
You're still here so I'm not afraid.

Hello my dear, I've been missing you,
Hope I see you tonight,
But will our mothers let us stay?
Well it's hard to say.

Down falls our heads and hands,
Through alternate realities,
While pretending to be okay,
Everything just begins to fall apart here.

Same breathing tone,
Same foreground noise,
Same backyard burial,
Same hounded home.

Kitchen sink washes away my discolored eyes,
The doubt that I'd left inside of them,
Grind them up into paint,
To smear over the walls of my bedroom.

Same breathing tone,
Same foreground noise,
Same backyard burial,
Same hounded home.

In the nighttime,
He spells 'forever' on my favorite sweater,
Stealing it for the next day,
His eyes are soft in the nightlights that shine so bright,
Stars don't move when I remember we could die tonight,
But that doesn't matter when you're by my side.
Bring the sound of your heart beating to my hands,
Let me sign my way through words of distrust.

With you in my youth,
I know,
I'm not alone forever,
Though we may never last the years across time and growth,
I know,
I'm not alone in these dangerous nights,
So stay with me,
For now,
You're what makes my heart beat through laughter,
For now,
Be the one that keeps me alive,
While I learn to depend on myself as well.

In the nighttime,
I'm watching the sky close it's eyes on me,
I'm thankful though, that yours are still open for me,
Hold the bag away from my face,
It contains the pessimistic thoughts of falling apart and losing my head.

With you in my youth,
I know,
I'm not alone forever,
Though we may never last the years across time and growth,
I know,
I'm not alone in these dangerous nights,
So stay with me,
For now,
You're what makes my heart beat through laughter,
For now,
Be the one that keeps me alive,
While I learn to depend on myself as well.

Life is a highway, one way and no way else,
At least that's what they insist,
But it traps me inside a lane,
I can't get out of the crawling traffic,
Let's get out of the car,
Roll down your windows,
Escape into the ditches and cleverly hidden cabins of forests.

Keep moving,
Don't stop or else you might end up inside the car again,
Keep moving,
The sun will never dip if you follow it,
Keep moving,
Your dreams are wherever you are in the forest.

Life is a highway, one way and no way else,
But I like to think there's something more,
Perhaps a trail that leads thousands of miles away from where you started,
You'll pass by three legged deer and struck down trees,
Nothing you will pass will ever be familiar,
Like seeing through new eyes every mile you make alive.

Keep moving,
Don't stop or else you might end up inside the car again,
Keep moving,
The sun will never dip if you follow it,
Keep moving,
Your dreams are wherever you are in the forest.
