You're Young
02:25
|

Bundled up in a shell,
feeling like you know how
to push on as someone who just lacks the morale.
As you weep and you wait for the summer until
you admit that you're young.
Read out loud.
I want to hear the words that you wrote about
how long it took me to even out.
I found out
you whisper so loud
and I can't stand your face
It's the root of my complaints and I've been feeling misunderstood
And I would wipe this mess away if I could
If I could, then I would
Read out loud.
I want to hear the words that you wrote about
how long it took me to even out.

Better Off

Now I know the feeling
Not missing things I missed before
I'm seeing clearer than I ever have
while you still search for more
So tell me what's the matter.
I thought you had it all
And now I watch as you chase after friends who never even call
And all I know is some things never change
You found a new life
still trying to escape
And all I know is that I am still the same
I found a new life
I found a better way
How'd you make it look so easy?
Do you think that was what I deserved?
Now I'm better off
I'm better off
And all I know is some things never change
You found a new life
still trying to escape
And all I know is that I am still the same
I found a new life
I found a better way

Turned Around

Woke up
to find my own legs laying next to me on the bed
Won't get up
Won't get up
I've got a secret to share
Woke up
to find my own legs laying next to me on the bed
Won't get up
Won't get up
I've got a secret to share
Compounded down to the thread
now I'm waiting for something
my father told me
Turn around and go back to bed
I told myself over again x2
Woke up
to find my own legs laying next to me on the bed
Won't get up
Won't get up
I've got a secret to share
Turn around and go back to bed
I told myself over again x2

Frustrated
I've waited for control
I need it
I see it dangling overhead
You're writing your story
It can't wait till morning
You're mourning and I am losing faith
Twist around inside your head
and look how far you've left to go
You're all alone 'cause I am barely there
Sink and drown into your bed
The world outside is far from home
or so I'm told
I've noticed you're shaking
and worried you're faking
we're related yet I am holding on
Twist around inside your head
and look how far you've left to go
You're all alone 'cause I am barely there
Sink and drown into your bed
The world outside is far from home
or so I'm told
I'm moving out
and moving on
Are you sorry for it all?
You put the knife in your own back
Twist around inside your head
and look how far you've left to go
You're all alone 'cause I am barely there
Sink and drown into your bed
The world outside is far from home
or so I'm told

Not Ready
02:52
|

I'm not ready for the change
I'm not ready for the weekend
to be my only escape
from all those unanswered questions
I'm not ready to fall
become a creature of habit
and throw away all my sleep
to run a race with no ending
And when I find out
that I'm right where I'm supposed to be
I'll take a deep breath
and know that I am happy
I'm not ready for the change
I'm not ready for the weekend
to be my only escape
from all those unanswered questions
I'm not ready to fall
become a creature of habit
and throw away all my sleep
to run a race with no ending
I'm finding out this is harder than I ever expected
Pieces don't fall in place without a sturdy hand
I'm not ready for the change

Tell a lie
And prove to me that you're alive
I've screamed a dozen of mine
Passing time
has become something like a hobby of mine
I bet you're awake at night
Dreaming of how you could have been there
when your friends all called out sick
to have a good time
You wish you could have been there
Perfect people
You're haunted

I Realized
04:24
|

Walking home I found God in everything.
Noticed how I can change my perception.
and I realize we're small
Life is lost in a way that contradicts
how I see all the others act so big
and I realize we're small
We're small, we're small
but we feel so big
Run your hands through the grass
take it all in
dirt and sand and the sun rising
Can't afford to wrap myself in such a thick
layer coated in plans that just don't fit
And I realize that I don't care
We're small, we're small
but we feel so big
Run your hands through the grass
take it all in
dirt and sand and the sun rising
If I don't care, then why am I sick?
If I don't care, I'll lose my friends
We're small, we're small
but we feel so big
Run your hands through the grass
take it all in
dirt and sand and the sun rising

The Same Routine
02:40
|

What's the world like?
I'll never see
I've been tied down with no release
Do you think this hasn't taken its toll on me?
Do you think this isn't getting old to me?
I've been going out of my mind
and no one knows but me
Run away
It's not too late
What's the world like?
I'll never see
I've been tied down with no release
I wish you knew how badly
I want to let go
I know what everyone's been thinking
And sometimes I think the same
I'm so held down and somehow
I'm the one to blame
Just for once, can't you see what you're doing to me?
Everyday is the same routine.
I'm so scared when I shouldn't be
Will you regret all those wasted nights?
What's the world like?
I'll never see
I've been tied down with no release
I wish you knew how badly
I want to let go

Cold Colors

Candles around your ovation
I made a brace that can bond two faces
Speaking in words as I listen
But can you taste them?
Colored in circles of gray
I found a new place to pray
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm broken
Colored in circles of gray
I found a new place to pray
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay
i'm okay
When I opened the sky
I found no places to hide
I found all of my insides
Scattered far and wide
I understand that time is always working against us
Colored in circles of gray
I found a new place to pray
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay
I'm broken

Moved on again last night for the second time
trying to get it right
When I tried too fast to sleep,
I just wondered If I'm too weak
I thought if I just said the words
I could fool myself to think
that I won't try and I won't lie
It'll go away I'll just pretend
that I like being alone
Yeah right.
I could never have pulled myself back to solid ground
So thanks for helping me out
Thought I'd wait till I grew right out of the same old doubts in the end
So thanks for being around
I'm driving home from your place
I'm crossing the bridge again
watching the planes fly in
and it's crazy to think where I was just a year ago
now I'm right where I want to be
I could never have pulled myself back to solid ground
So thanks for helping me out
Thought I'd wait till I grew right out of the same old doubts in the end
So thanks for being around x2
There were days when I couldn't stand
from the nights where it felt like my head was caving in
Then I started to understand
from the long talks in your bed
Thanks for helping me out
Thanks for being around

People Leave

I'm letting go of all the feelings that this past year gave me
The nights that I'd spend wide awake
Fixated on things out of my control
A pit in my stomach I couldn't shake
Stepped through the door
Found you crying again
From the pain in your heart and your head
You asked me what happened
so I gave you the truth
it was something that she just had to do
You said I was the most stable thing you had
and now you're stuck wondering where I am
Sleep tight, everything's gonna be fine
And now you're stuck wondering where I am
And now your minds racing
And your left with facing it all alone
I didn't realize how hard all of this would be
I'm going back on the things i believe
Still trying to wrap my head around how these messes get made
For now, I'll accept people leave
