Cleaning out my room is like cleaning out a part of my life
Throwing out old work is like throwing out a part of my mind
and I'm still upset that my friends will be running away
but it's okay because I know that real friends will stay
And in the darkest times I'm sure that this will hit me hard
I'll be lying in my bed and I'll be falling apart
It's like Dale said 'don't let that shit get you down'
And I fell apart but now I'm getting back up off the ground
and these wounds are deep but they're finally healing now
I spent the week at home writing songs for myself
I'm still a wreck I'm still a mess but this time
I'm all alone and I'm self loathing
and I'm trying to fill a gap that's missing inside my chest
I spent three days eating fast food, playing video games
It's proof that I'm slowly wasting away
It's like Dale said 'don't let that shit get you down'
And I fell apart but now I'm getting back up off the ground
and these wounds are deep but they're finally healing now
I spent the week at home writing songs for myself
Dale said 'don't let that shit get you down'
Fell apart but I'm getting back up off the ground
It's like Dale said 'don't let that shit get you down'
And I fell apart but now I'm getting back up off the ground
and these wounds are deep but they're finally healing now
I spent the week at home writing songs for myself

Moving On

And I'm bitter and I'm angry with no good reason
I'm stuck inside this hole and it's fucking freezing
I want to scream somebody 'just let me out'
but I'm too disappointed in myself to yell and shout
and I've been working on pulling myself together
I'll get out of this hole, I'm a firm believer
in moving on, pushing through everything
and the only thing that's holding me back is my timing
I've never dwelled on something so much in my life
It's a shame I can't see my friends every second of the day
because everything leaves when I'm not left alone
but I'm too scared to even pick up my phone
It's hard to not feel so worthless
When everything you've done is thrown back in your face
and I'm sorry it was not what you wanted
but I've got one thing left to say
At least I tried
I could have been worse
And I put in everything I had and came out with nothing
It's funny how things work out 'cos im pulling myself back off the ground
And you're progressing so well and I know that I could too
but I'm holding myself back, I tried my best for you

I've finished school,
Nothing's changed as they said it would
I'm still buried under the pressure of everyday confrontations.
I come home from a long week's work,
Fill my head with dreams and ideas for the weekend.
Nothing ever comes to light so I'll smoke some weed with my friends,
Nothing against it but surely there's more to life than roach and THC
Or is that just me?
Every night when I go out I wish I could be somewhere else
The long walk to pick up a draw, red eyes and a fucking dry mouth
My scarce resources, saved up money, burn in flames I tell myself
It's good for my health to hide the feeling that I'm wasting away.
'Cause I wanna get so high that I don't even know my name.
Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, a spliff in hand to numb the pain.
There's so much more to being me, but nothing that I'd rather do than
Smoke a draw with Sea and Lou and send my mind to pastures new
When I come down I'm faced with all the shit I spent my night trying to forget
But I'll be fine 'cause I'll just go and get high with my best friends.

This city's getting the best of me
I can't face waking up on these same sheets for another day in this place.
I'm too familiar with everything that's around me
All my failings and shortcomings originated here
There streets are like cages.
Cardiff meant no harm at all to a boy who never could fall
But since this boy lost his balance he doesn't know where his home is.
Don't get me wrong I love this city, it just isn't meant for me
It's given me nothing but a place for my dreams to die.
When I look back at the best years of my life,
Will the memories be clouded by the tears in my eyes?
A shout out to all my friends who helped my live in my own skin
If it weren't for you I'd have gone already.
Born, raised and buried on the same damn street
Isn't how I want my life to be.

Thank You & Goodnight

I'm just so happy with how things worked out
The sad songs got rid of all the doubt
And now my eyes are far too open
For me to not see what it was doing to me
My friends mean so much to me
They've made me who I've become to be
And all the words that I had wrote down
Helped me recover from all the pain
I'm so thankful for everything I've got
These words are bringing me to tears of joy
I've never appreciated everything around me
I'm here, it's where I wanted to be
It's where I wanted to be
It's where I wanted to be
It's where I wanted to be
