it’s alright.
it’s alright.
yea, it hurts sometimes
but i’ll survive.
i tried to make a change.
I shifted all my wait.
i want everything.
i want everything in gold.
keep projecting onto me
the way you hope they see you.
i want everything.
i want everything in gold.

The Moment
03:10
|
|||
i can’t make this better.
it’s already ruined me.
remembered by the slips in my conscious,
a broken feat.
i fell down the stairwell,
carried myself to the street.
forgotten names at three in the morning
but it stays with me
i believe there’s something left in me to see.
i just keep getting lost in the moment.
a part of me gets swept away.
i can see the better parts of you in me.
i just keep wavering in the moment.
it’s catching up too quick.
am i giving it all that it’s worth?
am i giving it all that i’ve got left?
i believe there’s something left in me to see.
i need to get a grasp on this moment.
it’s far from over.
i wander in speech,
just wait till it’s done,
i’m chasing a feeling that i don’t need.
i’m probably best to let it breathe.
i’ll let it catch up eventually.

Pretty Death
03:39
|
|||
i think i put a wrinkle,
in your pretty face
please don’t pull at my clothes,
you know what that’s doing to me
I am not your one and only,
I am just your stepping stone
I’m well aware you didn’t know,
you put your life on hold
we lost it all
and what a pretty death it was.
we lost it all
i’ll do my best
the best
i can
to let it go.
I can’t say just what i mean,
because it isn’t just one thing
how many endings can you take,
your smile has slowly faded away
i didn’t mean to let you feel so safe,
you didn’t want to let me get away
we lost it all
and what a pretty death it was.
we lost it all
i’ll do my best
the best
i can
to let it go.
come and find me, you know what you started
as we slow dance right beneath the spotlights.
i could never live up to what you wanted.
if we stay here, you’ll know what you started.
if you hear me, you know what you started
as we slow dance right where it all started.
i wanna make this right.
what a pretty death it was.
i wanna make this right.
we lost it all
and what a pretty death it was.

Tripping Over You
03:56
|
|||
Doesn’t it hurt?
The weight of your worth.
You could probably tell i’m lying
To get a leg up in this conversation.
You’re not even here
A hollowed out grin
A lack of my charm.
There’s not enough wine
To get us to change our minds.
How about you walk away now?
I need this so I can let go now.
Oh i can’t keep tripping over you
No i can’t keep feeling down
Oh i can’t keep falling over you
No i can’t keep you around.
These tired streets
Running in the town where we were numb.
Those times hit you hard enough
To lose some wind, you know
I’m not even here
A waste of your breath
An innocent start.
This pit in my gut
Isn’t playing around this time.
How about you walk away now?
I need this so i can let go now.
Oh i can’t keep tripping over you
No i can’t keep feeling down
Oh i can’t keep falling over you
No i can’t keep you around…
Keep you around.
And i can’t keep tripping over you.
No i can’t keep falling over you.
How about you walk away now?
I need this so I can let go now.

I’ve been drinking way too much
And clearly acting irrational.
I should’ve noticed how you’re glancing over your shoulder.
Losing its taste, but i can still feel it
Sink in my blood, all over my body...
A tower of regret.
---
Pour it down and drown again.
Where did i lose you? Did i make a scene?
She said “sit down and take a wild guess”
Cause we’re dressed up in sin.
And i’ll surely be held responsible for all that i digress…
With loose lips.
--
It’d be naive to try and calm me down
When the stars are coming for my head
Hostile remarks lit up behind a smile
It gets dark the deeper we dig
It’d be naive to try and keep my quiet
When the stars are coming for my head
Hostile remarks lit up behind a smile
It gets dark the deeper we dig
Two more scenes before i exit
One more drink before i hit the floor
A few more words before i end this
One more scene before i end this
--
We’re falling backwards
Falling backwards on our trust
Just forget about it
Just regret about it all
Falling backwards
Falling backwards on our trust
Just regret about it.

Colorful
I’m so happy i came
You’re so colorful.
Like the decorations you made.
I found your phone on the floor in the kitchen, i was wondering if you would want it back.
It’s too dark in your room i can’t read what you’re doing and i’m losing it.
You may think it’s irrational
Don’t always do what you always do
You may say it’s impassable
Let me in to the way that you move
And we spend all our money
On the fear of feeling nothing
You’re gonna leave
It’s a waste of time
And we’ll never get it right
Tell me the place where your mind drifts to
When your head and your heart can’t align
I feel in tune with these simple bare walls, i’m alone and i’m nervous too
I heard you talking real loud in the other room, did you want me stand with you
You may think it’s irrational
Don’t always do what you always do
You may think it’s impassable
Let me into the way that you move
And we spend all our money
On the fear of feeling nothing /for the feel of being lucky
We look really good in blurry pictures
It’s the weight
It’s the weight of the frame
Sometimes it’s better to ignore it
Sometimes it’s better to ignore it
We look really good in blurry pictures
We should wait
till we’re torn out of frame
And we spend all our money
On the fear of feeling nothing

St. Rain

Got caught up
With expectations too high
Do they notice my pale, shaky hands?
As i scan through the room.
Oh, i got lost
Based the night on whim
What if you came to say you missed me, no
that’s not you walking through that door.
I’ll keep blaming the rain.
I can’t be bothered, i just got here but i’m ready to go
I don’t know why i ever thought you would show.
i’m sure there’s better places you’d rather be
Oh i’m the fool
I want to wear your perfume
So many [better] things i could’ve said, instead to you.
I’ll keep blaming the rain.
There’s a reason i’m the person i am
There’s a reason for those long nights in bed
I’m the reason you can break down those walls
You do it better than me
I’m the reason you can break down those walls.
So tear down those walls and tell me you’re sorry.
I’ll keep blaming the rain.
Oh i need you
And all you do
As we run from our past
I’ve got some wine
In the back of the van
I just want a memory with you

Fever Dream
02:30
|

Breathe in
Your weight in sand.
Step back
and turn around slowly.
Swim deep
and wait it out.
On time
and buried in laughter.
How could i lose you?
Why did i lose you?
How could you say
You’re somehow better off
where you are?
How could you say (breathe in, your weight in sand)
How could you say (step back and turn around slowly)
You’re better off dreaming.
How could you say
You’re somehow better off
where you are?
How can things be better off this way?
How could you say, that you won’t let me down again, like before.

Sleeptalk

She’s my defeater,
There, with her feet up.
And there’s a reason
Why i’m gone.
Do you want to know what i think?
You’re worth more than the shit you put yourself through
So full of second hand indifference,
That stays between me and you.
There was that weekend i went away
I swore i’d never think about it again
Did i ever come back from it?
Or did most of me stay.
I refuse to let you down.
She took a drag
Of her cigarette
Inside her room,
Was the scent of it.
Just get a grip (man)
You’re losing it (one, two, three…)
Before she falls
Out of frame again.
I refuse to let you down.
I refuse to let you down.
You found your own home,
It was clenched between your teeth.
You saw your old self.
And she was staring back at me.
You can act like you don’t know the truth
But you’ve been talking in your sleep.
You can lie on your bed of nails
While you dream of sweet relief.
I’ve had some bad thoughts lately.
Sleep talking, sleep talking.
I refuse to let you down.
You found your own home,
It was clenched between your teeth.

I don’t have any demons
Not anymore i gave them all away
I don’t have a place to call my own (OH!)
I’ve been getting innovative
Finding new ways to get frustrated,
but we’ve all been there before.
Every little thing you wanna say
Every little breath just gets in the way
She can take the wheel but you’ve been eying me all night
It’s not a problem...but it’s been a while.
We sat and drank enough to finally put the past behind us
For a while. It’s been a while.
We got caught
In the cold of the night...
Where we kept our feeling close
And kept smiling as we spoke.
And at the time when you both left
I kept composure by the fire.
I wouldn’t lie, I should’ve known to let it go.
Every little thing you wanna say
Every little breath gets taken away
She can take the wheel but you’ve been eying me all night
It’s not a problem...but it’s been a while.
We sat and drank enough to finally put the past behind us
For a while. It’s been a while.
I’d call it off, but you get to my head .
You know it’s hard for me to ignore the attention.
We sat alone In a room with your friends.
What do you want from me?
It’s been a while
She was driving fast and you were staring back at me
I felt you staring back at me
I felt the wind believe in me
tension tangled in the moment
We caught loose and hit the ocean
We found hope in reconnecting
Let things go just for a second.

Tradewinds
05:23

I’m tired of keeping my head down.
i don’t need any more attention.
Like I don’t have the same intentions as you,
When i do.
Overwhelmed by the possibility
Of being dragged for words i didn’t mean
Like I don’t have the same intentions as you.
Well i do.
I was caught in the city,
And I know you didn’t owe me a thing.
I was taken for granted
But it wasn’t about me
I KNOW I GET CARRIED AWAY
SOME//TIMES
I KNOW I LOSE TRACK OF MY OWN MIND
Getting better at keeping my head down
Inside, i am flawed but i am divine.
Like i don’t have the same intentions as you.
When I do.
I’m worried I’m stuck in my own way.
Worn out by the possibilities
I carry loose leaf just to write
the wrongs i’ve kept inside.
I was caught in the city,
And I know you didn’t owe me a thing.
I was taken for granted
But it wasn’t about me
I KNOW I GET CARRIED AWAY
SOME//TIMES
I KNOW I LOSE TRACK OF MY OWN MIND
