Things to Believe In
03:27
|

We just need to be saved sometimes
We just need to be saved sometimes
Parallel lines coming together
Changes of heart are due to the weather
The scenery is finally different
What a nice break from falling apart
Thoughts don’t dance
They’re inanimate and hearts don’t break
We’re still alive
We just need to be saved sometimes
Who I am is who you think of when we lock eyes
I think I’m myself but I really don’t know
I was hoping that summer would bring us back home
I’m an ocean of emotion
Endlessly deep and alone
But I’m finding if I dive in
To confront all my fears and look at the bigger picture
The pessimist in me is gone with the season
Got things to believe in
Things to believe in
I’m riding this wave
I’m lost and depraved
And then you just stand there and wave
And I realize that I’ve never felt more at home
Than here in the snow, if I fall then I know
You’ll be there to catch me
Your arms are my safety
I’m noticing lately you’re coming around
Summer is just a state of mind
I get so lost, I fall behind
I love you, I hate you
I need you, I crave you
Oh, we deserve more than just pain
If I fall then I know there’s the soft of the snow
There’s your arms and in them I’m home
I’m an ocean of emotion
Endlessly deep and alone
But I’m finding if I dive in
To confront all my fears and look at the bigger picture
The pessimist in me is gone with the season
Got things to believe in, things to believe in
I got things to believe in now

We start fires for fun
You dance to the beat of its drum
Well I find solace when the crackling’s numb
And this is starting to feel
Like one big joke
You’re looking for something left to smoke
But I see nothing but ash
And you, you treat me like I’m cached
And I see ten steps ahead
And you would do anything instead
It seems that we think so differently
Yet I can’t look away
It seems that I decided in my mind
That right now, we’re meant to be
If only I could see
Destiny is tricky
Then maybe
Oh, maybe I wouldn’t feel this every time
I’m stuck and I’m addicted to this high
It’s not the same as yours
I don’t pay for mine
The currency’s a different kind
But I see nothing but ash
And you, you treat me like I’m cached
And I see ten steps ahead
And you would do anything instead
You said fires were fun
So why’d you run

Good Intentions
04:13
|
|||
|
If we’re gonna be totally honest
My happiness depends on you
I’m embarrassed, in fact
I never thought that I’d be that girl
But here I stand
Cigarette in hand
Torn that you won’t be my man
I’m your secret, I know
While I wear you on my bones
It’s funny how your face looks different
But somehow still the feeling’s the same
The scenery changes but everything else just stays
We try hard to grow
But laugh ‘cause we know that
We wear our mistakes
They’re all over our faces
In our hands, on our toes
We wear them on our bones
You just spoil me with
Good intentions ‘cause you know
It’s enough to keep me just hanging
Right where you want me to be
You just make me feel like
I’m not worthy of your love
You just worry about the end
When you could’ve enjoyed it until then
Impulsive, explosive
I act on emotions
We fight in slow motion
We caused a commotion
You look so innocent
I just feed into this game
The one I thought I’d never, ever play
Then again I can’t say no to your face
So maybe you should turn away so I could just run in a circle
Get on my knees
And beg you to stay
‘cause you look so good it hurts
Can’t put it into words
You just spoil me with
Good intentions ‘cause you know
It’s enough to keep me just hanging
Right where you want me to be
You just make me feel like
I’m not worthy of your love
You just worry about the end
When you could’ve enjoyed it until then
You just spoil me with
Good intentions ‘cause you know
It’s enough to keep me just hanging
Right where you want me to be
You just make me feel like
I’m not worthy of your love
You just worry about the end
When you could’ve enjoyed it until then

You’re like water
You’re like blood
I need you here
But you just run
You’re like movies
You’re like dreams
It’s really horror at the seams
We love the pain
We let it grow
It’s nice to feel something that you know
I love you but despite it
At least the hate’s requited
Unstitch my way through ‘til I reach you
Giving up is not what I do
Kiss the lies, embrace this fate
I think I might just hate this place
You’re everything that I know
Hold me tight, don’t let go
I’ll say forever, I’ll mean it too
‘cause who am I without you?
You’re everything that I know
Hold me tight, don’t let go
I’ll say forever, but that’s not true
‘cause you hate me and I hate you
I’m breaking through now
Another level
I’ve broken more here
Than I can handle
They say time helps
I say it hurts
I’m watching gold
Rust to dirt
Your voice through the line
Your homemade design
Text so I call
Then watch me fall
I love you but despite it
At least the hate’s requited
Try to stop me
Hold me down
I’m too weak to hear the sound
The screaming’s loud
Nerves are high
Can’t help but think that you’re still mine
You’re everything that I know
Hold me tight, don’t let go
I’ll say forever, I’ll mean it too
‘cause who am I without you?
You’re everything that I know
Hold me tight, don’t let go
I’ll say forever, but that’s not true
‘cause you hate me and I hate you

Stalemate
03:53
|
|||
|
I’m sitting on the couch
This is normal now
My life’s in stalemate
I’m looking all around
I’m just deafened by the sound of
My inner demons
They’re never sleeping
You look at me like I used to
Young, filled with so much potential
No one ever told me
23 would be so lonely
All my friends are off pursuing their dreams
And they forgot about me
I worked too hard too early
Finished everything in a hurry
And now I’ve come to reach stalemate
Oh, stalemate
I’m punching bedroom walls now
I’m pulling out my hair
I’m trying to forget you
But you’re everywhere
You look at me like I used to
Smart, bound to be successful
I can’t see
I can’t see it now
No one ever told me
23 would be so lonely
All my friends are off pursuing their dreams
And they forgot about me
I worked too hard too early
Finished everything in a hurry
And now I’ve come to reach stalemate
Oh, stalemate
No one ever told me
23 would be so lonely
All my friends are off pursuing their dreams
And they forgot about me
I worked too hard too early
Finished everything in a hurry
And now I’ve come to reach stalemate
Oh, stalemate

Hypochondriac
03:01
|

|
Doctor, doctor
You’ve gotta diagnose me
My blood’s too thick
And it’s drowning me slowly
Listen here, doc
I’m a good kid, I’ve always been
I get straight As, I go to work
So why then, why then
Is my heart skipping beats?
Why then, why then
Do I have three grey hairs?
It’s not fair
Hypochondriac, am I a hypochondriac?
Doctor, doctor you’ve gotta diagnose me
Hypochondriac, am I a hypochondriac?
My blood’s too thick and it’s drowning me slowly
I haven’t slept and my thoughts are unholy
I’ve been drinking too much coffee
It’s messing with my body
My hands are shaky
Doesn’t look too good on me
And I change my mind a lot
Sometimes I forget how to sing
But sometimes I forget how to be good at anything
Sometimes I lie, I’m not too good at that either
But it’s easier than fucking fighting and biting my tongue
Pleading with, feeding my brain
I’m not insane
But doctor, doctor you’ve gotta diagnose me
Hypochondriac, am I a hypochondriac?
My blood’s too thick and it’s drowning me slowly
I haven’t slept and my thoughts are unholy
I’ve been drinking too much coffee
It’s messing with my body
My hands are shaky
Doesn’t look too good on me
Doctor, doctor
I’m thinking that it’s too late
I think I’m dying, I’m not worried ‘bout your pay rate
You think I’m lying but it really feels like checkmate
Just fix me quickly, haven’t even met my soul mate
Hypochondriac, am I a hypochondriac?
Doctor, doctor you’ve gotta diagnose me
Hypochondriac, am I a hypochondriac?
My blood’s too thick and it’s drowning me slowly
I haven’t slept and my thoughts are unholy
I’ve been drinking too much coffee
It’s messing with my body
My hands are shaky
Doesn’t look too good on me

Sad, Pathetic Interlude
01:33
|

|
Look what you’ve done
Now my lips are chapped
I’ve gone through a pack
And I don’t even smoke
I shut the door on my mom
I yelled at my dad
They’ve done nothing wrong
But ask why I’m mad
And now I feel so bad
Got dressed and put my makeup on
Just so it could run
And I could write a sad, pathetic song
I tried to write a happy song
But I barely got to finish that
About parallel lines coming together
How love made everything better
How it was such a nice break from falling apart
But the only thing that really changed
Is the scenery and the fact that I have a degree
Did I mention I still can’t get a job?
But I still get dressed and put my makeup on
Oh, just so it could run and I could write a sad, pathetic song

IPA (IDC)
04:31
|

I’m as bitter as this IPA
Yeah, that’s my choice of drink today
It doesn’t really taste okay
It’s an acquired taste, they say
So I’ll pretend, I’ll pretend ‘til you’re out of my head
‘til this starts to taste good, ‘til things start to make sense
I don’t care, I don’t care
Rainbows and butterflies
Tears and last goodbyes
You’re gone, out of my life and that’s fine
Okay, I’m sad
Can’t let you know that
And yeah I’m bitter
‘cause being better’s just a little bit harder
And yeah, it’s true
I’m having trouble getting over you
Indifference, it’s perfect
Keep telling myself you’re not worth it
You pushed me, you lost me
But you think if you want me, you got me
You might be right, you might be wrong
All I know is you got your song
You fooled me once, you fooled me twice
So shame on me, can’t even take my advice
You gave me a lot of things
Some of which I never wanted
Doubts, insecurities
Nightmares, anxiety
Love without a name
Oh, someone else to blame
I could throw a rock and hit a better prospect
Turn a corner and find someone who loves back
That’s the difference between you and me
I can love and all you know how to do is run
So run then
This is the last tear I’ll shed for you
This is the last song I’ll write for you too
That was the last time I’ll fight for you
So get used to the sound at that end of your phone
When you told me to move on
Said your feelings weren’t strong enough
Silence that keeps you up all night long
Indifference, it’s perfect
Keep telling myself you’re not worth it
You pushed me, you lost me
But you think if you want me, you got me
You might be right, you might be wrong
All I know is you got your song
You fooled me once, you fooled me twice
So shame on me, can’t even take my advice
Cheers to shitty beer
Pretend ‘til things get better
Cheers to shitty beer
This is my last love letter
Cheers to shitty beer
Pretend ‘til things get better
Cheers to shitty beer
This is my last love letter
Indifference, it’s perfect
Keep telling myself you’re not worth it
You pushed me, you lost me
But you think if you want me, you got me
You might be right, you might be wrong
All I know is you got your song
You fooled me once, you fooled me twice
So shame on me, can’t even take my advice

Tired
02:55
|
|||
|
Everyone wants casual
Caring’s just residual
On my hands, on my knees
Praying ‘though I don’t believe
‘cause I’ve seen more
And I’m still torn
If it’s meant to be it’ll happen
Or take what you want instead of imagining
How things could be
I’ll make them be
I’m tired of talking
You’re tired of listening
And nodding your head
We should make new memories instead
I’m tired of writing
I should forget it
Not dwell in it
Like I always do
So over songs about me and you
I want a love that could burn cities to ashes
A passion, a fire, relentless desire
I won’t settle for content
I wanna be bent out of shape
So happy, it hurts my face
So distracted by it, that I’m always late
Instead of always early and alone
Waiting for a text that’s never gonna come
There’s a jealousy
It lives inside of me
It’s crippling, takes over my body
It’s blinding
Red is all I see
And I say things just to hurt you
Because you hurt me too
Your reaction is my only proof
That you care about me and I didn’t lose you
I’m tired of talking
You’re tired of listening
And nodding your head
We should make new memories instead
I’m tired of fighting
I should forget it
Not dwell in it
Like I always do
So over songs about me and you

The Beginning
02:58
|
|||
|
I feel so lucky to have had a broken heart
‘cause I survived and got out with a real appreciation for art
I can see beauty in pain
Empathy, the worst of me dried up in the paint
Just me and my right brain
This year went by so slowly
Never alone but somehow lonely
I’m setting back the clock
I won’t waste another second
This is the beginning
Five years from now I’ll look back and laugh
We’re so young
It seems like the end but so much has yet to come
I’d do everything
I’d do everything for…
…all the mistakes that I made
All the obstacles I overcame
How to put myself back together
And why I fall apart
What I don’t want
You and your attributes
Well at least you were my muse
I guess you had some use
I was the brave one for
Letting love right through my door
For trying, for caring
But mostly daring to be weak
And that’s what makes me strong
Five years from now I’ll look back and laugh
We’re so young
It seems like the end but so much has yet to come
I’ll do everything to love who I’ve become
Things can’t get real good until they’ve been real bad
Yeah, that’s ‘cause everything is relative
And you can’t live in my head anymore
Without paying rent ‘cause
Now I won’t give unless I get
Five years from now I’ll look back and laugh
We’re so young
It seems like the end but so much has yet to come
So much has yet to come
Oh, so much has yet to come
