Closure
03:23
|
|||
|
Honest 'bout my problems 'cause it helps me get over them
by the time you hear this I am probably over it
'cause I get my closure from disclosing it
I saw you yesterday
the thought of you makes me anxious
you used to be my good friend
but you kept acting up
enough is enough
Honest 'bout my problems 'cause it helps me get over them
by the time you hear this I am probably over it
'cause I get my closure from disclosing it
I guess everyone's gotta **** but that doesn't mean you need ta let it show
it's not that children only tell the truth
it's that they don't pick up on our social cues
yeah I know it's true but what kind of truth are you focusing on
'cause the one you pick really says a lot
it says where you look
you think it's a secret but you already told us with the way that you're acting
Honest 'bout my problems 'cause it helps me get over them
by the time you hear this I am probably over it
'cause I get my closure from disclosing it

End of the Day
01:40
|
|||
|
at the end of the day
at the end of the day
Know that i've been waiting so patient to make it home and take it off and get naked
today went really slow and I was faking with their games
manipulations for the nation for my paycheck
complications, confrontations, contemplations, intermittence
How could I stay in situations when they make me anxious?
I feel awakened
Hard just staying in one place
It's heinous when it's dangerous
I'm praying won't be hated, that I make it
Get wasted
Celebrations
Drink champaign and make it banging
Been ready to fall like Jenga
The omega ultimatum: what's your thing and where you take it?
Know that i've been waiting so patient to make it home and take it off and get naked
Today went really slow and I was faking with their games manipulations for the nation for my paycheck.
Complications, confrontations, complications

Make up Your Mind
04:14
|
|||
|
Why don't you make up your mind
make up your mind
why don't you make up your mind
make up your mind
It's time to decide
time to decide
make up your mind
make up your mind
Wanted more, I wanted less
I wanted a choice, I want you to pick
I want to be free, I want no limits
I want constraints, I want discipline
I want to let go, I want to hold on
I want to leave my comfort zone
I want comfort, I want control,
I want to be out, I want to be home
I want to see friends, want to be alone
I want it for free, I want to pay for it
I wanted options now I can't choose, it might be easier if there were fewer
Sometimes I want to be here
I love my life and the path that I've found
but other times
I'm so full of fear
that all I want is to tear it all down
'cause I want it all, I want to stay,
I just want to run away
I should make music 'till I die
maybe its all just a big waste of time
maybe its distracting from what I should be focusing on
maybe its not
maybe its what im supposed to do
guess I'll just do what feels right inside and hope that it all works out,
wake up your mind
wake up your mind
I've made up my mind
made up my mind
it's time to decide
I think I've decided
make up your mind
wake up your mind

Matter
03:18
|
|||
|
Mattering's a thing that doesn't always matter
mastery doesn't mean that it's really any better
you don't have to be being a being of mad pressure
catering mistakenly to those who don't care for ya
got you to bring your energy on a silver platter
the thing they major in is bringing you disasters
anchors sinking in when they finally found their land mass
the place they call home
I see people overcompensating every single thing
highlighting the things they want our eyes away from
tried to move the focus but we noticed loud and clear bud
but pretending that we didn't will only make it worse
so just admit it so we can move on
all got ghosts that haunt but we gotta move along
'cause the world don't stop
sometimes I put my feelings onto others
like the example that I just gave ya
Mattering's a thing that doesn't always matter
mastering doesn't mean that it's really any better
you don't have to be being a being of mad pressure
catering mistakenly to those who don't care for ya

Crooked Spine
03:26
|
|||
|
I'm not like you
I can't do the things you do
and I have tried to
but I just couldn't see it through
and I don't like you
you say we all have it easy too
but that's not quite true
there are things you haven't been through
things you haven't been through
you don't know what it's like with a crooked spine
a crooked spine grew
brings me pain every single day
and I look just like you
but I wish that I could feel the same
and I'm not crazy
I just don't want to impress you
it might be maybe
I don't see your point of view
I don't see your point of view
'cause your point of view
comes from not seeing other's points of view
you only see you
so you think everybody has it like that
that's not true

Come Back Home
02:05
|
|||
|
Take myself to the water
How long have the waves ebbed and flowed?
Wanting to feel clean
Sanitize my thoughts
floating on top
place your hands upon me
trust they'll find their footing
you breath in
I breath out
and we both know
I'll always come back home

Get It All Worked Out
03:48
|
|||
|
Never gonna get it all worked out
there's always something else tomorrow
Never gonna get it all worked out
don't worry
Perfect life doesn't exist
It's just a fairy tale
you're only playing yourself pretending that this isn't real
you're always comparing yourself to somebody else at their best
you never looked at the rest
you never looked at the rest
Never gonna get it all worked out
there's always something else tomorrow
Never gonna get it all worked out
don't worry

Everything Fell Apart
02:21
|
|||
|
everyone I know will die
everyone I care for will die
everyone
just like it all
it all fell apart
it always does
everything fell apart
just like it always does
everything fell apart
everything fell apart
I wanted it to stay
but it's never coming back
never coming back

Mistakes
03:19
|
|||
|
I don't want to see the day come where all of my mistakes catch up
and I forgot got to see my day ones because I've been working way too much
and I think I need a vacation, some well earned time off
and I've been giving into my depression, not writing happy birthday on your wall
well can I work it out?
can I work this out?
can I work around the tired daze?
can I work it out?
can I work it out?
can I work around this my whole day?
because I'd rather make a mistake than to hide my whole existence
and I'd rather you all see it than to know I didn't mean it yeah
anything you want is everything I've got
and until my fingers rot, I won't be able to stop
I'm afraid that my income may not be enough
the shame you hold from saying what
you think can hold you back to the grave
well can I blurt it out?
can I blurt it out?
can I blurt it out and not be afraid?
can I blurt it out?
can I blurt it out?
can I blurt it out and not overthink?
because I'd rather make a mistake than to hide my whole existence
and I'd rather you all see it than to know I didn't mean it yeah
anything you want is everything I've got
and until my fingers rot, I won't be able to stop
'cause I'd rather make a mistake than to hide my whole existence
and I'd rather you all see it than pretend I don't have feelings yeah
anything you want is everything I've got
and until my fingers rot, I won't be able to stop

Nobody Else

You'll be waiting there oh no oh no
I will meet you there so slow, so slow
I can't do it by myself myself
no I need some help some help some help
I can't do it for nobody else
I have to believe in it myself
Someone else could tell you what to feel
but that doesn't make it real
they write it down but you live it out
You'll be waiting there oh no oh no
I will meet you there so slow, so slow
I can't do it by myself myself
no I need some help some help some help
I can't do it for nobody else
I have to believe in it myself

(Chorus)
I thought that I was leavin' but then I heard you were there
and I caught myself believing that you would even care
I didn't want to see it but I see it now
I thought I had a chance but it's permanently gone
(Verse 1)
and its gone
the feeling you were searching for
it's been hollow but it took some time just to see
hurry up
we're waiting on you don't be late
this is what you always wanted
what you always wanted
(Chorus 2)
(Verse 2)
take the step
to let down you defenses babe
take control of what you think is happening
open up
the feelings are sometimes just clouds
but you can be sky and endless sea

Thinking About Sunshine
02:07

upstairs downstairs
I was leaving in the elevator
I was thinking of you inside my mind
I just wanna know if this is all a big waste of time
'cause I was thinking
thinking about sunshine
would you be mine?
thinking about sunshine
when the light comes you're always there
to help explain the feelings that I don't understand
waiting
waiting
to say goodbye
to say goodbye
say goodbye
upstairs downstairs
I was leaving in the elevator
I was thinking of you inside my mind
I just wanna know if this is all a big waste of time
'cause I was thinking
thinking about sunshine
would you be mine?
