The air is thick and here I sit while people try to decide
Which feelings to show
But they cannot grow
When it's safer kept inside

Shells of people we knew breaking up underneath the weight
Now I know that you can truly love someone you have grown to hate

Fall back on guarded sentiments from a distant happy time
Experience is watered down
When the past still runs your life
Your only living half the time
Half dead or half alive

Hey!

When I see your faith in me and how heavy you're leanin' on
This skinny boy
Over employed
Tryin' to help you do your job

I wanna find the empty pieces of your heart and fill them up with life
But it's so hard to hold to bigger dreams
Nightmares cloud my sight

Another day gets wasted as we sit in our own shit
Nobody calls
I stare at the walls
And sleep alone again
You're only livin' half the time
Half dead or half alive
Another day gets wasted as we sit in our own shit
Nobody calls
I stare at the walls
And sleep alone again
You're only livin' half the time
Half dead or half alive
