A seemingly unbearable weight, or
As it was standing in my way
Immeasurable at the time, incomprehensible
As though I somehow forgot my own strength
My own mind
Lose yourself, start again
Lose yourself, start again
Patterns, figments
Fall then climb again
Whatever the cost, whatever the measure
I'm still here - standing
Standing
Standing
Before you

New Normal
03:37
|
|||
|
[Verse]
Life is kind of funny that way
When your vision ain't clear
I'm catching sight of new normal and I see it all around me
But damn, I can't believe that it's real
She's got plans for the future
You found god in the bottom of an empty glass
I'm addicted to damage, yeah 29 is kind of funny when you wear that badge
I saw the text you sent me, was like a biblical verse
She counts the views in her stories but it only ever makes, it only ever makes her feel worse
We're suffocating in fomo
Was canceled straight out the gate
It's kind of hard to feel relevant when you thought you'd never live
You'd never live to see 28
Open my eyes. open my eyes
Open my eyes. open my eyes
[Chorus]
I find myself here sometimes
Caught between the sex and the pills and the red wine
Wishing I could turn back time, pretend that I can run
From the new normal
[Verse]
There's pressure to live and put it all out on a timeline
I forget who I am if it's not on a timeline
Did it happen if pictures weren't posed and tagged, "well I'm just fine" but I'm not
The comments read like some hot trash
In a dumpster fire
And I can't open my eyes
[Chorus]
I find myself here sometimes
Caught between the sex and the pills and the red wine
Wishing I could turn back time, pretend that I can run
From the new normal
Have you ever really wondered why?
Say, "what's the point of living if you've never give it a try"
Wishing you could turn back time
Pretend that you could run from the new normal
New normal...
New normal...
[Bridge]
Yeah, wishing i could turn back time
Kill the pain with progress instead of numbing out the timeline
Cheers to how we unwind
Wishing we could run from the new normal
[Chorus]
I find myself here sometimes
Caught between the sex and the pills and the red wine
Wishing I could turn back time, pretend that I can run
From the new normal
I find myself here sometimes
Caught between the sex and the pills and the red wine
Wishing I could turn back time, pretend that I can run
From the new normal

Thinking Out Loud
03:49
|

|
[Verse 1]
I can hear when the moment's right
I can see with a crystal sight
For that I've got hell to pay
Felt cursed for most of my life
I lost the will to live at 16 and I don't know why
But somehow I survived
[Chorus]
Am I thinking out loud?
Am I screaming out?
Have I said too much
Now that the words are out?
Am I thinking out loud?
Am I screaming out?
Have I said too much
Now that the words are out?
[Verse 2]
Took too long to get sober
I'm falling out of this rollercoaster
Can we make it out if we make the most of
These days I don't know why
These days I don't have time just to feel better
Yeah, even when it fucking lets up
I hit the bottle, pull your dress up
Too many nights spent regretting what I've said
But you're all in my head, but you're all in my head
Am I just thinking out...
[Chorus]
Am I thinking out loud
Am I screaming out
Have I said too much
Now that the words are out
Am I thinking out loud
Am I screaming out
Have I said too much
Now that the words are out
[Bridge]
Cuz baby, I'm bad news, bad news
Yeah even if you come through, come through
No, I could never have you, have you
Not even if I wanted to
The way I fucking want to, want to
So I always just let go, let go, let go
Alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I thinking out loud?
Am I screaming out?
[Chorus]
Am I screaming out?
Have I said too much
Now that the words are out?
Am I thinking out loud?
Am I screaming out?
Have I said too much
Now that the words are out?

[Verse]
Could we go out
Could we go on like this
Never thought I'd get back home
Like a fever when you call my name
You wonder why I'm so strung out
Could we fall out
Could we just burn like wires
Crossing just to make believe
Crossing like you and me
I remember it was ecstacy
[PreChorus]
Deep down you're just like the rest of them, the rest of them
Deep down you're just like the rest of them, the rest of them
[Chorus]
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in my mind
Woo
[Verse]
Could we stall out
Could we fall short this time
Give me time to disagree
Give me room so i can breathe
And a coffin so you'd believe
Could we burn out
Could we burn this place down, burn it down to the ground
You said you wanted out of this town
Well, that was just a fucking lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Deep down you're just like the rest of them, the rest of them
[Chorus]
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in my mind
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in due time
[Bridge]
Could we fall out
Could we just burn like wires crossing just to make believe
Like a fever when you call my name
But you wonder why I'm so strung out
[Chorus]
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in my mind
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in due time
(fine it's fine, it's fine, it's alright - she let's out a sigh "it's alright, it's alright")
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in my mind
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in due time
(fine it's fine, it's fine, it's alright - she let's out a sigh "it's alright, it's alright")
Cities burning
Lights are turning on in my mind

Honest
03:42
|

|
[Verse]
You find the words to speak
And say what's on your mind
The world around looks bleak
But you want to feel this time
You want to feel this time
And all the lies you ever said
Are running through you now
And all the time you wish you had
You can't get back somehow
[Chorus]
What can I say? You'll take it and run
Do I follow suit, is this what you want?
If I'm being honest
If I'm being honest
[Verse]
They'll only put you down
Then wonder why you're down
They'll only put you in your place
Then wonder why you're there
Then wonder why you're stuck there at all
But we were made for something greatеr
We were madе for this
And the words they say will never, ever
Change who we are inside
[Chorus]
What can I say? You'll take it and run
Do I follow suit, is this what you want?
If I'm being honest
If I'm being honest
[Bridge]
What can I say? You'll take it and run
Do I follow suit, is this what you want?
If I'm being honest
If I'm being honest
[Chorus]
What can I say? You'll take it and run
Do I follow suit, is this what you want?
If I'm being honest
If I'm being honest

Best Friends

[Verse]
Best friends, they don't break up
Best friends, don't wanna shake up
Best friends, we want it all now
Best friends, they won't leave your side, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Even when you speak
Even when you're tired
Even with your heart exposed
Even in your depth
Even on your surface
I love you more than you could know (you could know)
And nothing you could say
And nothing you could do
Would ever go and change my, change my, change my mind
Cuz you're my best friend
[Verse]
Do best friends make good lovers?
Do best friends love one another?
Best friends, a poisoned letter
Best friends just keep getting better
[Pre-Chorus]
Even when you sleep
Even when you're high
Even when your heart says no
Even in your fear
Even when you laugh
I love you more than you could know
And nothing you could say, and nothing you could do
Would ever go and change my, change my, change my mind
Cuz you're my best friend

Feel It
04:03
|

|
[Verse 1]
Doesn't matter the time
Work it over when you decide
Call this moment a crime and then let it go
You just closed your eyes as I watched you walk away you said
Goodnight in the morning
And I'll fall in love again
I'll say I wish I never met you but I want this all the same
[Chorus 1]
It's kind of hard not to feel it
Even when you're gone, even when you see fit
Falling in and out of this with no parachute
What can I do to catch my fall?
[Verse 2]
Walking out on a wire I stumble falling at your feet
You sought this out of desire you said it different, something sweet
I said goodbye in the evening, thеn I fell in love again
You say "I won't soon forget this
I kind of wish it didn't еnd this way"
[Chorus 2]
It's kind of hard not to feel it
Even when you're gone, even when you see fit
Falling in and out of this and not feel it
Even when you're gone, even when you see fit
Falling in and out of this
[Chorus 3]
It's kind of hard not to feel it
Even when you're gone, even when you see fit
Falling in and out of this with no parachute what can I do?
No parachute, what can I do to catch my fall?

Never Let Me Go
03:44
|

|
[Verse]
Your hand in mine
We're going somewhere tonight
Summer air in our lungs, yeah
Flying high
But you were that girl who caught my eye
Like an Oklahoma sunset in the middle of July
[Chorus]
My friends all think I'm crazy but I know
You caught my heart
Right from the start
I hope you never let me go
You never let this go
I loved you from the start
[Verse]
I remember when we first kissed
The soft weight of your fingertips
Pushed light against my face, yeah yeah
You were like a dream in the dark
In that moment you'd sparked
I saw my whole past burn down like it was torched from the start
I saw you like a love, not a stranger so come close to me
[Chorus]
My friends all think I'm crazy but I know
You caught my heart
Right from the start
I hope you never let me go
You never let this go
I loved you from the start
You caught my heart
Right from the start
I hope you never let me go
You never let this go
I loved you from the start
I found you in a moment in time where my life was pulled apart and now we're searching for signs and I pray with all I am you hold on
[Chorus]
My friends all think I'm crazy but I know
You caught my heart
Right from the start
I hope you never let me go
You never let this go
I loved you from the start
You caught my heart
Right from the start
I hope you never let me go
You never let this go
I loved you from the start

Dark Tide
04:05
|

|
[Verse]
There's a dark tide and it swells inside me
Like an ocean of change, the pressure I don't take lightly
I lied and said I was ok so you wouldn't fight me
There's a dark tide and it swells inside me
[Pre-Chorus]
I've heard men don't cry
They only go to the alter to die
I found myself the day I let you go
[Chorus]
But I've been losing my grip lately
And I've been letting it slip lately
I've been taking this trip
I've been feeling so adrift
I've been losing my mind just to try to find it
I've been losing my grip, lately
[Verse]
There's a dark tide with a presence frightening
And as it builds I can only watch as it's transpiring
You watched as your village burned me down
You pushed me under while you watched me drown
There's a dark tide and I cannot fight it
[Pre-Chorus]
I've heard men don't cry
We're a disease in the system design
I know you're better off without
[Chorus]
But I've been losing my grip lately
And I've been letting it slip lately
I've been taking this trip
I've been feeling so adrift
I've been losing my mind just to try to find it
I've been losing my grip, lately
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wanna let it all go
Sometimes I wanna let it all
Cuz I've been losing my grip lately
And I've been letting it slip lately
[Chorus]
But I've been losing my grip lately
And I've been letting it slip lately
I've been taking this trip
I've been feeling so adrift
I've been losing my mind just to try to find it
I've been losing my grip, lately
Lately, lately
Lately, lately
Lately, lately
Lately, lately
Lately

Somebody Else

[Verse]
Somebody else
Those were your words
You knew me first, I was your hiding place
But you were lost to me as well
Time is healing, so revealing
I'll dispel these comforts, then I'll see you in hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't know where to begin
I don't know where this started
In fact, I wonder myself
You took the breath out of my lungs
You stole the words out of my mouth
You made me somebody else
[Chorus]
Somebody else
Somebody else
[Bridge]
Even when the moment is right I always fuck it up
Even when the moment is right
[Verse]
Ok, you think it's my fault
But can you blame me?
I wanted to be someone you loved
Manipulation
Oh, your condescension baby
Oh, damn you think you're so much
[Pre-Chorus]
You swear it's not your fault
You swear it's not your fault
[Chorus]
I turn to somebody else
Somebody else
[Bridge]
Even when the moment is right
Even when the moment is right
[Chorus]
Somebody else

[Verse]
There's something coming over me it's like the worst way
But I think I kind of like it and I wish that you would stay, oh oh
You say you wouldn't take me back, no you get out
Yeah you get out, uh
You get away
[Pre-Chorus]
Anytime you change your mind it-it's ok
We'll burn this rope at both ends, both ends
Just part it up this party's over can I take you home
No one can wonder, yeah you got me singing out
[Chorus]
Time goes by
(I kind of wish that you would say those three words I wanna hear)
Time goes by
(but something deep inside me knows that it ain't right this time)
[Bridge]
Thoughts like these keep me coming back
Thoughts like these keep me coming back when you're gone
[Verse]
Open up, open up cuz I'm coming inside
I'm busting doors down if I have to, right? ah
You leave me no choice, no choice at all
With the way that you look I cannot keep my head straight
[Pre-Chorus]
Anytime you change your mind it-it's ok
We'll burn this rope at both ends, both ends
Just part it up this party's over can I take you home
No one can wonder, yeah you got me singing out
[Chorus]
Time goes by
(I kind of wish that you would say those three words I wanna hear)
Time goes by
(but something deep inside me knows that it ain't right this time)

[Verse]
Staring in a mirror in the darkness, tell me the truth
Am I all bad, am I alright, am I just sad?
I smile sometimes, yeah but things don't ever seem the way I feel they should seem in my mind
But I've crossed a threshold, I'm on the front lines pushing me down
Keep pushing me down
Keep pushing me down
[Chorus]
Standing on the edge of the earth and I'm looking for you
Yeah, I wanted to forget but I can't cover up the truth
[Verse]
Yeah this - that lonely place
Yeah, one I won't escape but I can try to get to you
Yeah, where my mind escapes when I black out these days
I see my past, I run to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Even if time don't come correct these hot coals burn true for you
And as I look down on myself I'm looking out for you
As I do...
Keep pushing me down
[Chorus]
Standing on the edge of the earth and I'm looking for you
Yeah, I wanted to forget but I can't cover up the truth
[Bridge]
Can you feel it?
These pictures don't look like you
Can you see it?
We're living in our own version of truth
And around around around we go
These carousel dreams are spectacle
But I want you in my dreams to see it
Standing on the edge of the earth and I'm looking for you
[Chorus]
Standing on the edge of the earth and I'm looking for you
Yeah, I wanted to forget but I can't cover up the truth

[Verse]
I was never whole but it was never mine to have
I'm losing everyone around me don’t remind me
You want to move to California but you met someone who loves you
The fleeting lines of highway drives like joy escape me
I got a new tattoo, it's sunflowers left unfinished
Kind of like the words that I could never tell you
[Verse]
I was never whole, but it was never mine to have
Been picking up the piеces from the world around me
Anothеr friend ODs, yeah tried it once somehow it escaped you
I felt the waves of aftershock like god around me
[Pre-Chorus]
So pretend all your scars are buried in the dust in Oklahoma
Go rush now
[Chorus]
Tell me "pretend all my scars are buried in the dust to find out who you are, did it ever feel enough?"
[Verse]
I was never whole
I've only lost for what I have
You’ve been losing everything around you, come and find me
You got a new tattoo
Your common sense is what surrounds you
But finding out the flaws in me is so familiar
[Pre-Chorus]
So pretend all your scars are buried in the dust in Oklahoma
Go rush now
[Chorus]
Tell me "pretend all your scars are buried in the dust to find out who you are, did it ever feel enough?"
[Chorus]
So tell me "pretend all our scars are buried in the dust to find out who we are, will it ever be enough?"

Wherever You Are

[Verse]
I found you leaving
It never felt so hard, I never believed you
And the greatest lengths you'd go to
I'll never see you again but I don't care
Cuz goodbyes are so long in the past, I never thought it'd ever last
So long
So now I'm singing out the saddest songs I know
And I'm looking through what's left of you on my phone
Trying to stitch together memories I no longer own and I can't take it
I never thought you'd ever leave so I'll follow you -
[Chorus]
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
[Verse]
So in the morning
I'm packing up these bags of mine and I'm going
To the place we left behind when we were so young
I hope I find, hope I find peace there
Yeah, mmm
But for now I'm looking for a place I can call home
I see signs of you in all that I know
I can't escape the signs of you life shows and I can't take it
I never thought you'd ever leave so I'll follow you
[Chorus]
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
[Bridge]
(wherever you are)
(wherever you are)
(wherever you are)
(wherever you are)
Someday I'll find you and ask you if you feel the same as I do
When you tell me that you left cuz you thought I had nothing left
It's cuz I
[Chorus]
I followed you
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)
Follow you
(wherever you are)

(((Take a Look)))
02:16

Take a look at what we've become
A fucked up version of what we once were
A photograph and a mirror they don't lie
So take a look at you and I
Well, I've been peering into the future through a glass
Staring at my fate and it looks back
And with a mesmerizing voice it tells me
"son, you'd better take a look at what you've become"
Well I've been going through a box of memories
Buried deep in boxes underneath my bed
Where I just can't seem to put my thoughts to rest
Yеah, it's true I guess you're right you know mе best
Or better than I know myself
Because all that I could do is to run the other way
And believe me honey, I regret it every day
So if you could forget all that I've done
And take a look at what I've become
