The Way I Do
03:50

with a calm sense of doubt
spiralling in it holds me down
maybe I’m in my head
am I in yours
there’s a glow from your eyes
I look and catch it just in time
staring back from where I am
you’re right here.
and I’ll pretend the feelings mutual
and I’m not blowing it this time
the way I do
so don’t forget I'm feeling fine but I
still might ruin it this time
the way I do
There's a trace at my side
I'm turning over where I lie
In the dark, where its warm
But you’re not here
I sit back and again
Fumbling over words I’ve said
Through a mask, reading in
To how you stir.
and I’ll pretend the feelings mutual
and I’m not blowing it this time
the way I do
so don’t forget I'm feeling fine but I
still might ruin it this time
the way I do
ahhh
and I’ll pretend the feelings mutual
and im not blowing it this time
the way I do
So don’t forget I'm feeling fine but I
Still might fuck it up this time
The way I do

Ghost

today I woke up feeling like a shell
seems my insides they were draining overnight, and now I’ve woke as someone else
I’ll watch the countdown as it goes
for the first time as I’m reeling in these twenty years I can't see past my nose
lie down there's not much you can do
I am lifeless like a ghost I’m floating back and forth and drifting room to room
today I woke up tortured by the shame…
I am desperate to stay sleeping as to not confront
this fault that's in my brain.
not once Id had these thoughts before
I can feel my mind is fading as my stomach splits
and sinks right through the floor
I’ll have to speak for what I’ve done
spirit broken I am bracing for the darkest days now I’ve learned what we’ve become
if I’m not opposed to what we know
what is this backwards feeling down beneath my bones
if I’m not supposed to hurt for long
well you can bet that I’ll be glad when this ghosts gone

Two More Days
02:21

two days makes a week
my hearts out of place
can't shake this feeling
what's this to you
is it worth the extra weight
I’m not so sure
are we both asking now
half a world away
how’d we get off the rails
I know
I can hide my pride but
will I ever understand
you don’t call anymore

Reaching

no I can’t go back now
it’s always too soon
the thing that I fear
a year passing through
I just don’t worry much but
the more that I do
the concept is creeping
at the edge of my view
and while I feel the sting of passing time
I can’t help but be stuck in my youth
there’s a knock at the door and I’m horrified
but I don’t have a choice
I’m reaching
I still don’t dream much
I do if I’m high
the loss of my blood
a five hour flight
I didn’t speak enough with you
I let it all slide
and I don’t deserve comfort
In a world I let die
and while I feel the sting of passing time
I can’t help but be stuck in my youth
there’s a knock at the door and I’m horrified
but I don’t have a choice
I’m reaching

You Get What You Deserve
04:47
|

lie awake to a song just like the last time
still the same cause I know that I was a fool
there’s a hole I can look into and my gut kicks
and when it hits my eyes
I wanna call you to say you’re right
laying stoned on the floor while metal is grinding
shaky hands in a line just playing it cool
force a smile and the pain comes on like a light switch
like chrome reflects my blood
then you say that were done
you’re so in my head
I play back what I should have said
that’s not what I meant
and now Im drowning
everywhere I turn
Id take back every little word
forget what you heard
is this thing dying
oh man this hurts
you get what you deserve
you’re so in my head
I play back what I should have said
that’s not what I meant
and now Im drowning
everywhere I turn
Id take back every little word
forget what you heard
is this thing dying
oh man this hurts
you get what you deserve
steady feet as I float on up through an incline
dirty leaves as I move past houses and schools
there’s an ache with the changing shape of my insides
it's all that’s on my mind
I wanna call you to say you’re right
go to read but I can't be still while I’m anxious
watch the phone keeping calm like fire to fuel.
pulling close with a hope I stand at your door frame
one knock (and) it hits my blood
just don’t say that were done
oh man this hurts
you get what you deserve

Not A Thing
03:13
|

|
why can’t we just be forward and turn on the lights on
all my shits been riding your shoulders
but I was right
It’s not a god-damn thing
I swear you’re a ghost
and now I won’t drag your shadow
around anymore
got tired of all this questioning
I swear I saw this happening
it’s why I cut ties and hardly have to think
while I accept it’s not a thing
from here I’m so far gone

Say Uncle
03:55

just let it roll off
let ignorance be bliss, won’t waste my time
I know it's how you are
say something smart, something smart for once
I'm not gonna lie
the hardest parts been holding back my tongue
I leave you as you are
just holding to the void you’re filling
sinking deeper
never a clue in the world
I'm losing sleep over my
having to unsee what you infer
is it time yet to learn
I’ve done my part
I’ve stayed and forced my smile, I’ve done my time
I know it's how you are
so i can't start, to mend and make this right
You’re looking lost
subject to your thoughts, they break my mind
I'd rather do my part
I’m tortured by the things I’m reading
sinking deeper
never a clue in the world
I'm losing sleep over my
having to unsee what you infer
is it time yet to learn
stand back and soon you’ll finally see
stand back and maybe you’ll find peace
