A Brighter Place

I can't believe it’s been a year
Time has just flown by
Missing all of the cheer
Its turned to a darker place
I still don't believe it's real
But there's nothing to prove me wrong

So goodbye
They say is a brighter place
Full of love
And goodbye hate
It's a fate
That feels more like a nightmare
When reality
Took another star
To burn bright in the sky
So goodbye
I hope they're right
It’s a brighter place
Where you are

Time goes by
And we move on
Act like we forgot
The pain
Fake a smile
Before the tear
Falls on this cheek
It doesn't feel real
But there's nothing left
To prove me wrong

The stars shine brighter
At night
The sky burns
Without an angry sight
Still feels like a nightmare
But I hope they're right
It's a brighter place
Where you are

Nothing Now

(V1)
I can't seem to think
Of a time you were around
I can't seem to step back
And take a breath
It's been an age
Since we last spoke
There were no hard feelings
But you never seemed to care

(C)
I can't help
But to feel nothing now
That your gone
We moved on
There was nothing left
You burned that bridge
And I let it go
I can't help
But to feel nothing now

(V2)
There was a time
I let so much
Affect me
Like I was going insane
To protect something
That was never real
A fairytale we told
To keep these nightmares away
But the monster always wins

(B)
So goodbye
And good riddance
This was never about you
But you'll figure it out
Think that I still care
With the apathy shown
But I know
I'm gonna see you again
I'll see you in hell

Picture This

(Intro)
I can’t believe
The things we’ve seen
The places we’ve been
The stories told
The nightmares shared
Everything that we hold
It’s been a journey
Since we’ve last spoke

(V1)
These pictures
All tell a story
About a wide-eyed kid
And his hopeless dreams
The faiytales
He told himself
Before he grew up

(C)
I wanna runaway
And go chasing the stars
We could write a story
About our adventures
And wars
Living in these dreams
To be something more
I want to be so much more
Than the bullshit we've learned

(V2)
Can you tell me what happened
To the wide eyed kid
And those hopeless dreams
We were living
In the castle
We built from the ground up
Young and Reckless
Like we didn’t care at all

(B)
All this time
We've been picking up
These broken pieces
The lies we've all told
Trying to make peace
With the demons we create
But I want to be more
Then the lies we’ve sold
