I've been here, I've been there, before
Seems like everywhere I turn
I found myself looking for home.
So why can't I be there, once and for all?
I've been here, I've been there, before
Seems like everywhere I turn
I found myself looking for home.
So why can't I be there, once and for all?
At first sight, I thought that it was paradise.
But then, reality crept in and took me away.
Now I'm feeling so alone, and no one is there
No one walks in the same place, no one takes the fall
I've been here, I've been there, before
Seems like everywhere I turn
I found myself looking for home.
So why can't I be there, once and for all?

Don’t look at me
See me for all I am
Who am I but a shell of my self
Impression?
An ember of potential
Snuffed out by my own cold breath
You’re right, I’m not what I seem
I’m so much more
There’s gonna be
A firewatch
There’s gonna be
A firewatch
Don’t follow me
Tell me how worthy I am
Who are we but withering plants on the shelf
Ourselves?
Remember, you’re special
Just like all the rest
With light, my shadow is seen
A fraud, a liar, a thief,
A firestarter
(I’m not who I am to you)
So long as you keep dancing with yourself
Unapologetically
(Don’t look at me)
You’ll always have your own style
(I’m not who I am to you)
No one can move like you can
Not exactly
(Don’t look at me)
(I’m not who I am to you)
I know what’s coming, I’m ahead of my time
But then, there’s doubt
(I’m not who I am to you)
God, I’m just like everyone else
(I am who I am)
And that
(I am who I am)
That’s when I start to feel behind
(I am who I am)
But you know what?
(I am who I am)
I am who I am
There’s gonna be
A firewatch
There’s gonna be
A firewatch
There’s gonna be
A firewatch
There’s gonna be
A firewatch
There’s gonna be
A firewatch
There’s gonna be
A firewatch

More Room for Mistakes

I can try and do right
Yet still do and say wrong
‘Cause as much as I know what’s best
I’m addicted to being a mess
Said to myself, “Not this again”
While cheating on resolutions
Not a minute too soon, since
I’ve found a solution to
All of my problems, so
I’m gonna make
More room for mistakes
Little do I know
What promises that I’ll break
You can see a little bit of
Hesitation in my face
But isn’t it better that way?
That way
How can you tell I’m lonely
Without me saying it?
How can you tell I’m drunk
Without me showing it?
Maybe it’s a cry for help
Maybe I’m not well, or
Maybe I don’t give a shit
About trying to be perfect
When life and other people are hell, so
I’m gonna make
More room for mistakes
Little do I know
What promises that I’ll break
You can see a little bit of
Hesitation in my face
But isn’t it better that way?
That way
I’m gonna make
More room for mistakes
Little do I know
What promises that I’ll break
You can see a little bit of
Hesitation in my face
But isn’t it better that way?
I’m gonna make
More room for mistakes
Little do I know
What promises that I’ll break
You can see a little bit of
Hesitation in my face
But isn’t it better that way?
That way

Snake, eating its own tail
Failure feeds the fool
Who eats their fill
But who else is fed
On victorious spoils
When no one wins
Or loses?
To lose, sometimes, is to win
Or learn
Demons crawling in my skin
Sinning is the saint
Who saves themselves
But who else is saved
When the saints are all gone -
When the saints have sinned
And sold their souls?
To be saved, sometimes, is to suffer
Or lie
Sun, rises and sets
Light begets the day
And darkness, night
Yet, what is the dark
But the day without light
The heart, sans love
The sinner, with no saint
The snake, eating its own tail?
