The Moment 02:17
I wanna see you open up just like a faucet Pour out every worry to me You know how they say that Growth is never warm and comfy? I long for something true This life’s mistakes made next to you I never really knew if I did enough to show There don’t have to be a reason That I’m still here and Here for you ’Til the lights go out You’ll find me where you need me Let me hold you down And take this funny feeling ’Til the lights go out I’m glad to fill my pages up About you, about you We shared another moment and Then that moment died right beneath our noses Though I tried to keep it goin’ But it can never last, no longer than a moment I just try to keep it going my life ‘nevitably flowing ’Til the lights go out You’ll find me where you need me Let me hold you down and take this funny feeling ’Til the lights go out I’m glad to fill my pages up About you, about you

Ever since I knew that it would be this way The beating won’t repeat an even score Ripple tides whisper and shout away to me Given, granted, now I’ve heard it all before I’m out of sight, of peace of mind Waves nocturnal, keep us floating ‘neath the sky To some respite, I’ll testify To my own place in doubting, whether I should try Attack and release, a life isn’t cheap I wanna believe, I wanna set free My own inner needs, for answers and keys Attack and release, attack and release Make it happen for yourself they say Commit to even keel from this day forward But cosmic patterns leave you spiraling Break a cycle, birth another, and so on and on and on I’m out of sight, of peace of mind Waves nocturnal, keep us floating ‘neath the sky To some respite I’ll testify To my own place in doubting Whether I should try Attack and release, a life isn’t cheap I wanna believe, I wanna set free My own inner needs for answers and keys Attack and release, attack and release Attack and release, the blind again see I wanna believe, I wanna be free I feel myself freeze, cut off at the knees Attack and release, attack and release (My peace of mind…)

I don’t wanna post my face anymore It doesn’t have the same appeal as Before the days of strangers’ gazes Looking ‘round at girls that made it But what can I do? It’s better if you do I’m tied down too tight by all these Phone screen obligations, e-Asphyxiation I can’t close my eyes with all these Phone screen obligations, e-Asphyxiation God damn I am tired of trying to pose my body I’m now way too old to party You gotta keep engagement high Or might as well not even try and Who are all these people Staring through your selfie view? But what can you do? I heard it’s better if you do I’m tied down too tight by all these Phone screen obligations, e-Asphyxiation I can’t close my eyes with all these Phone screen obligations, e-Asphyxiation Why do I have to prove that I am alive online? I’m tied down too tight by all these Phone screen obligations, e-Asphyxiation I can’t close my eyes with all these Phone screen obligations, e-Asphyxiation (Don’t wanna) Brag or give my cell (Don’t wanna) Tag my locale I just want to stay home by myself I just wanna stay home … (Don’t wanna) Buy your GPT I wouldn’t do that shit for free I just wanna stay home, just with me I just wanna stay home, just with me

Sore Spot 03:34
Said an afterthought Never knew it’d have much meaning Now I’ve played a part In giving you that broken feeling Think we lost the plot Shine a light on what’s worth healing Now I’ve played a part In hurting you with how I’m feeling Better I forgot Injuries spent so long mending Hit a real sore spot Cutting you with questions pending Bitter tastes a lot Like strong emotions growing stale I hit a real sore spot Telling you before I forgot I’ve changed I see you’ve stayed the same But you should know that I’m not placing blame You’ll change Your anger burns out heavy And I know it’s hard to tame I’ve changed I see you’ve stayed the same But you should know that I’m not placing blame (blame) You’ll change Your anger burns out heavy And I know it’s hard to tame (tame…) Look at you and see an old me Maybe you’re on your own journey Haven’t found the space to understand But we’ve got to Wade our way, reasons unspoken We couldn’t have even known then Maybe I just thought Of telling you before I forgot I’ve changed I see you’ve stayed the same But you should know that I’m not placing blame You’ll change Your anger burns out heavy And I know it’s hard to tame I’ve changed (I’ve changed) I see you’ve stayed the same But you should know that I’m not placing blame (blame) You’ll change (You’ll change) Your anger burns out heavy And I know it’s hard to tame (Tame…) (Tame…) Oh…

Take your stupid justice out from In front of my face You’re asinine, no friend of mine Your hardlines, your mistakes Take your hands off of my body Made a goddamn mess of this place Watch this space If you care to catch the deterioration phase Save your time And take your space I’ll be living out my days Living out my days, I’ll be living out my days Soaked in disappointment and disgust And yet survival is a must On the long and drawn out Return to dust Save your time And take your space I’ll be living out my days Living out my days, I’ll be living out my days Save your time Take your space (I know it happens all the time) I’ll be living out my days (I know it happens all the time) Living out my days (I know it happens all the time) I’ll be living out my days (I know it happens all the time) Save your time Take your space (I know it happens all the time) Living out my days (I know it happens all the time) Living out my days (I know it happens all the time) Living out my days

Would you believe I’ll make the room for you You speak in hushed tones I think I need To hole up inside my abode I still feel cold and numb I walk beneath some big ol’ trees I feel new aches in my old knees The time keeps passing on by On by It don’t Have to be this hard I know I can make it so damn hard And I’d go anywhere to find myself A brand new fucking start A clean heart My senses dulled The words all sound the same I can’t find meaning in all this pain I try, but I’m still picking up Where we left off I don’t know what I’m feeling I know you don’t need a reason I’ll pay for another blunder Expire in the pressure I’m under I’m raw, you’re tender We’re vulnerable I wanna be someone who calms your soul Not the one who’s losing control I don’t Wanna make this hard And I know I can make it so damn hard And I’d go anywhere to find myself A brand new fucking start A clean heart A clean heart It don’t Have to be this hard And I know I can make it so damn hard And I’d go anywhere to find myself A brand new fucking start A clean heart

In My Pocket 03:58
Ever since the day we met I’ve watched you tear yourself down Add another decade in Of seeing each others’ Wheels spin around You know we might get stuck But we always ride together I don’t know how to tell ya But you might be stuck with me forever You’re looking over at me I’m looking over at you I feel free to make my mistakes In front of you I know that I might be flawed But you’re the only one I’ve got To keep on throwing shots with I keep that in my pocket What is there to even say? Sometimes I get carried away I’m yelling from the pain inside Feel the tears But anger doesn’t purify So now you’re stuck with me What are you gonna do? I’m like a little rock in your shoe I’ll always stay right beside you You’re looking over at me I’m looking over at you I feel free to make my mistakes In front of you I know that I might be flawed But you’re the only one I’ve got To keep on throwing shots with I keep that in my pocket Oh and you know I try To keep an eye out for you Sleeping on the other side Telling you the truth We always give another try Now I know why We almost always do No, I won’t walk out on You looking over at me I’m looking over at you I feel free to make my mistakes In front of you I know that I might be flawed But you’re the only one I’ve got To keep on throwing shots with I keep that in my pocket Oh and you know I try To keep an eye out for you Sleeping on the other side Telling you the truth Always give another try Now I know why We almost always do But I won’t walk out on you

Told you I can’t help it You say it doesn’t have to be this way It doesn’t feel like brain rot My skin just craves the warmth of summer days And now you try to make it better But the void gets only deeper With time (I thought that shit healed all) The little broken part is bigger Than I could even fathom It’s why sometimes I think my all is Not enough The world wants to know if you’re tough So call their bluff Don’t answer with silence Why let them decide that you’re Not enough I’m doing it all for the love I know too much Don’t answer with silence ‘Cause they don’t decide it No I know it’s almost over Shrinking like the walls are closing in Thanks for the reminder Of good news and good times Of course I want to go back there again But then I try to see more clearly And the memory fades to nothing It’s time I left that shit behind It’s not enough, the world wants to know if you’re tough So call their bluff Don’t answer with silence Why let them decide that you’re Not enough I’m doing it all for the love I know, I know this much Don’t answer with silence ‘Cause they don’t decide it, no (No…)

Avid Athlete 03:38
I got a bad attitude that I can’t lose Try to improve our communication But after noon, after you Now I’ve lost my motivation ’Cause you were the one Who was always supposed to be there for me (I end up dealing alone) You were never ever Really truly there for me (But I’ll still get on the phone) Why don’t you make me a real offer? I’m sure you can make it look real good Lay your life down on the altar Hold your hand Say I knew you would All of the memories are folding in One on top of another Don’t sacrifice your truth You’ll never be me and I don’t want to be you She said you were an avid athlete Nowadays you won’t walk up your street She said you were an avid athlete But these days you can’t be bothered to meet I got a bad attitude that I can’t choose You’re all over the place and I’m over you It’s all through now and Not too soon I’m no longer involved in the things you do ‘Cause you were the one Who was always changing the plans with me (Last minute leaving me ‘lone) And you were the one Who took all of our feelings and ran from me (Blamin’ me for what you’d done) Why don’t you make me a real offer? I’m sure you can Make it look real good Lay your life down on the altar Hold your hand Say I knew you would All of the memories are folding in One on top of another Don’t sacrifice your truth You’ll never be me and I don’t want to be you She said you were an avid athlete Nowadays you won’t walk up your street She said you were an avid athlete But these days you can’t be bothered to meet Though once you were an avid athlete Now you’ve finally got nobody to beat Not even me Not even me

Now that you’re better I hope you handle things differently Guess I’ll just hold this in for now Ready to burn it to the ground, yeah you Tell me you love me for now, yeah Tell me you need me here for now Can’t even tell what’s up from down Breathing it in so I don’t drown Now I find out Mmm, now I find out (Ugh) All this wasted effort Brought us closer together Temporary lover Temporary lover Time makes hearts grow fonder I can’t help but wonder Temporary lover, temporary lover Oh, whoa… (It breaks my heart) Whenever you’re cold (I try to close my eyes) So then I won’t know You know what I want and you’re leaving (No baby, no) There’s still some time to get even (Get even, but you’re my) Temporary (You’re my) Temporary You’re my temporary If I close my eyes, it will go away Guess I’ll just hold this in for now Ready to burn it to the ground, yeah you Tell me you love me for now, yeah Tell me you need me here for now Can’t even tell what’s up from down Breathing it in so I don’t drown Now I find out Mmm, now I find out (Ugh) All this wasted effort Brought us closer together Temporary lover Temporary lover Time makes hearts grow fonder I can’t help but wonder Temporary lover, temporary lover

Old Issues 03:54
I meant it, forever You don’t have to say You appreciate it I meant it, however You don’t get to say that Two are still dancing I met her in heaven Some other place she couldn’t see me I met him, I let it Happen and I feel something wash over me Old issues, old I’ve become someone Who can’t talk to strangers May be better being alone I won’t say I was always this way There’s some things time Can’t heal on its own There are sometimes I feel like the danger (there are sometimes I feel) Keeps me breathing out like before And when I tire of fanning the flame (and when I tire of fanning) Here’s hoping I’m I’m warming up more I’m warming up more I’m warming up more Get it together, thought that I could say I’m feeling more stable Kinetic, can’t let it open When I don’t know what is coming Forget it, I’ll let it take some more time on me Old (These are) Old issues, old Soft tissue gets cold I’ve become someone Who can’t talk to strangers May be better being alone I won’t say I was always this way There’s some things time Can’t heal on its own There are sometimes I feel like the danger (there are sometimes I feel) Keeps me breathing out like before And when I tire of fanning the flame (and when I tire of fanning) Here’s hoping I’m I’m warming up more I’m warming up more I’m warming up more Even though I’m strong Even though I got it wrong Even though I’m strong Even though I got it wrong Uh-huh, oh
