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 02:24
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

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

Frustrate 03:06
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

Model 01:46
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

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 03:32
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

Apricot 03:21
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 03:55
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
