Apocalypse
04:24
|
|||
Take a look at all the madness that surrounds us
Making violence, keeping people full of distrust
Do you remember when we used to truly fear death?
The planets letting out its final breath
But maybe it's what we deserve
We’re set on digging our graves
A tragedy for no return
Help me make it make sense
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
(Shit’s burning up, shit’s burning up)
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
(Right here)
Doomscroll, headline looking like a madlib
What if we gave up all of our power to Aladdin?
He'd probably want to have a massive carpet
Now there's a war over the textile market
But maybe it's what we deserve
We're destined to the same fate our only choice is when
How we spend our days, it doesn't matter in the end
We'll make the same mistakes
But never notice any trend
(It's comin up)
(At least we're dying on the shiniest rug)
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
(Shit’s burning up, shit’s burning up)
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
(Right here, right here, right here, right here)
I can't keep count of the times we fucked this up
(I don’t know how we’ll ever get in front of this)
Mumford and his Sons were right for once
(I don’t know how we’ll ever get in front of this)
Pen and paper at my desk
Pen and paper at my desk
Maybe fleeting thoughts could make it to the next life
I really don't think we're gonna make it out this time…
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
(Shit’s burning up, we’re already gone, we’re already gone
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
(Shit’s burning up, shit’s burning up, shit’s burning up)
Ahhh, it's a fuckin apocalypse out here
(Right here, right here, right here, right here)

Doubts
05:49

I hoped that they would just fade away
But they’re here
The noise in my ear is just deafening
It won’t clear
The days get longer and I don't know what they bring
Why am I here?
I'm trying so hard to be seen
But all I have are doubts
They're keeping me around
Just another doubt is keeping me around
All I have are doubts, they’re keeping me around
just another doubt, it’s just another doubt
And you’re right, I cannot remember the light in me
And this world, is captured in a cycle of lunacy
What do we bring in this corrupted and distorted democracy?
I'm thinking spring, the answers will all blossoms along the leaves
But I keep having these doubts
They're keeping me around
Just another doubt is keeping me around
All I have are doubts, they’re keeping me around
just another doubt, it’s just another doubt
And I'm stressed, I can’t find a reason to breathe again
And I guess, I'll never see my dreams materialize
And I can’t, I can’t remember feeling more apathy
And I am, I'm running out of time to make it real
…and all I have left is my delusion

I drove past this wreck on the side of the road
And I text my friends saying “shit that blows”
I dropped my phone and it smashed the screen
Never bought a case, It wouldn’t happen to me
I saw this man on the movie screen
Needle in his arm, and he’s struggling to breathe
I ponder outside with a smoke or three
And thank God every day that it doesn’t happen to me
Because all my choices are created
with good intentions, without luck
Why would I make the same mistakes that they did?
You sound hysterical, you must be out to lunch
Cuz things that happen to other people
Won’t happen to me!
I saw a kid who scraped his knee
I thought “damn that sucks!”, that would never happen to me!
I walked past this bum and he asked for change
I’d simply make decisions that would lead to owning a place
There’s a war on my phone, every town’s debris
It’s a good thing I live in a first world country
I heard about a guy that choked and died
Shoulda held on longer, maybe next time don’t die?
Skill issue…
I know all these people had reasons
Like comorbidities, and lack of funds
But they also lack critical thinking
I know the answers
Just look up ‘How to Scrum’
Cuz things that happen to other people
Won’t happen to me!
{Hey man, some people get dealt the wrong hand
There’s people out there struggling, just to make ends meet
Can’t put food on the table, have to work two/three jobs to survive
People get sick for no reason
People get sent to war by leaders they didn’t even vote for
People have terrible upbringings, and the trauma lead to mental illness and addictions, and not everyone has support systems
And you’re not immune to statistics
A fifth of the population experiences substance abuse disorder or addiction in their lives
You can't control everything!
You can't keep living like this!!!}
That's cool but that would never ever happen to me
Cuz things that happen to other people
Won’t happen to me!
(Penny for your thoughts, that's nice)
(They paid the ultimate price)
(It wouldn’t ever happen to me)
(The lord wouldn't do that to me)
Just another doubt, is keeping me around…
All I have are doubts, they’re keeping me around…
All I have are-

Descending miles above the ground
A near nuclear exchange
Far from the Sun, there's no fusion today
And with time we only decay
Three out of four leave the city intact
A human error, parachute unpacked
Now I’m lost in reality’s escape
And what if I never find it?
And what if I never find it?
And what if all these worries…
…and what if I never find it?
And what if I never find it?
And what if all these worries come to pass?
What if I never find it?
And what if everything I love belongs to the past and this anxiety I feel was meant to last?
What if I never find it?
And what if all these worries…
What if all of this withers away, unfound?
The anatomy of detonation
The anatomy of detonation
The anatomy of detonation
Come find me buried
Come find me buried
And what if I never find it?
And what if I never find it?
And what if all these worries…
And what if all these worries…
And what if all this withers away?
Come find me buried
And what if all these worries come to pass, with or without me
and do these words just wither away? without a sound..

I Want You To Be Free
03:37
|

We fight the battle chasing both our dreams
You’re not the enemy we both agree
(And so) You can’t keep blaming yourself
(You know) Your future won’t write itself
So don't be scared of me
Ahhh, I want you to be free
I want you to be free
Ahhh, I want you to be free
I don’t think that I am ready to go
Please don’t ask me why
Even if it’s good for me
You worry people worry people worry
Another lyric written in a hurry…
(C’mon) How many more times will it take
(Before) Anxiety feeds you to the lake
So don't be scared of me
Ahhh, I want you to be free
I want you to be free
Ahhh, I want you to be free
(I don’t think that I am ready to go)
Ahhh, I want you to be free
(Please don’t ask me why)
I want you to be free
(Even if it’s good for me)
I want you to be free

Switch Hands For Roses
05:11

Find the meaning behind everything else for me
My mind is rushing to fill gaps endlessly
I miss the times I used to dream about counting sheep
This winter hasn’t been kind to me mentally
Keep stull lucid moment of clarity
I want to see what you think transparently
Shifting purpose too often, I admit
I wrote a line but I can’t make sense of it
We switch hands for roses
And any meaning that proposes
We switch hands for roses
And any answers that proposes
High hopes for a sudden epiphany
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could see
The only enemy is time and my energy
Have you considered that you might need therapy? (Wait, that’s it?)
Now keep still I forgot insincerity
Is just my only defense against tragedy
I lost control of my version of happiness
Convinced life’s only meaning is work and progress
We switch hands for roses
And any meaning that proposes
We switch hands for roses
And any answers that proposes
We switch hands for roses
And any meaning that proposes
We switch hands for roses
And any answers that proposes
(I lost my faith to live another good lie)
(I lost my faith)
(I lost my faith to live another good lie)
(I lost my faith to live another good lie)
We switch hands for roses
We switch hands for roses
(I lost my faith to live another good lie)
(I lost my faith to live another good lie)

Clear

Another restless night
Will it ever end?
You’re sick of the panic, and so am I
Close your eyes, and forget
Cuz this fear is our composer, and we accept it’s us
And this year is far from over, what’s with the utter rush?
Maybe stop, remember, this anxiety…
The feeling goes away
And this attack on the sensory
Just remember tomorrow you’ll be here
{This feeling
It’s a shadow, but not a burden
It’s a reminder of why I carry this angst
There’s always room to grow
So come and flood my mind with this recurring pain
And every worry, it pours just like an acid rain
But that’s okay
I just remember, remember, remember, remember, remember}
Just remember tomorrow you’ll be here
And this will clear
This will clear…

Just Drive
04:46
|

I'm sick and tired of promises
The contradictions I make to myself
I think to me that it’ll be different this time
But it’s a lie, you’re nowhere near the prize…
Knock on my door
The Moment steps in
He sings to me, “You're not looking within.”
“You're stuck up here, where worry defines every action”
(And everyday is another wake up call)
That's only reason to try
So just drive, you’ve got all this time
To be alive
To find the meaning inside
Oh, life is only half the prize
Medium aside
Don’t wanna die without knowing
I must be showing a feeling to make it happen
Thoughts aren't reality, you learned this the hard way
How do you feel? (Like the world is over?)
Have you been freed? (Are you finding closure?)
You're stuck with me fading as you get older (Are you free, are you free?)
That's fine
That’s the present defined
You'll grow to like it with time
So just drive, you’ve got all this time
To be alive
To find the meaning inside, oh
So just drive, you’ve got all this time
To be alive
To find the meaning inside
Oh, life is only half the prize
Medium aside
Don’t wanna die without knowing
I must be showing a feeling to make it happen
Thoughts aren't reality, you learned this the hard way
I must be showing a feeling to make it happen
Thoughts aren't reality, you learned this the hard way
I should be on my way
But something’s making me stay
I should be on my way
But something’s making me stay
Somebody tell me it’ll be okay
Somebody tell me it’ll be okay
Somebody tell me it’ll be okay
(Something’s gotta change)
Somebody tell me it’ll be okay
Somebody tell me it’ll be okay
You’re gonna be okay…

Guide Me Home

Now you’ve been running for so damn long
Now you've been running for so damn long
One of these days you’ll trade your atoms with Saturn
Have you considered that you might not matter?
Your meaning’s everywhere you weren’t
Overthinking while your brother suffers
Know what it means to be reciprocal lovers?
Traded for the prize
The road is bumpy but you wouldn't love it otherwise
The road is bumpy but you wouldn't love it otherwise
Are you still waiting for your life to get sadder?
Have you considered this might not matter?
Put down the pen, turn around, look what you have
Friends and family who help you get right back on track
Shelter, food, a loving soulmate bearing everything you lack
Look at her smile
Please help me back to her arms
And guide me home
Now guide me home (You’re already here)
Please guide me home (You’re already here)
Now guide me home (You’re already here)
Please guide me home
Please guide me home

Every day’s the same
I chase another big idea, go to bed, wake up
And hang my head in shame
I could get used to feeling like this
Or maybe find a balance (Pull my head above the covers)
It’s been a choppy journey to fulfillment all because
I used to want to be the best at everything that I tried
Wore perfectionism as a mask, at times I was a massive ass
I guess it’s the beginning of the end
Is the meteor out to scorch you?
Have they happened to you now? (Oh they did? Who woulda thought..)
A battle in your head - speed up or slow down
And maybe they were right, some hearts get broken tonight
You might not be where I want but it's alright
You're alive!
You might not be where I want but I'm what you’re after tonight
I’m picking up where you left off and coming home
Hey! Is it real yet?
A lot left to go in this drive
Like the shit I have to learn through direct exposure
But as I get older I find
That deep down I just wanted to inspire not impress
See I walk in a daze, pull me out of this place
I don’t wanna feel broken, lost, or afraid
I just wanna be amazed by things that I made
Subtract 13 off my life if that’s what it takes
It's not that simple, nice try
You'll be back here in a week but it's in sight
That's life, don't you cry
You might not be where I want but it's alright
You're alive!
You might not be where I want but I’m what you’re after tonight
I’m picking up where you left off and coming home
You might not be where I want but I’m what you’re after tonight
I’m picking up where you left off and coming home
