Blend

Same old day i feel it coming on
Buried up to my chin i think i best start digging
Give it up for the sullen boy
He stole the show for the last ten years
It’s time he moves on i hope his resume is clear
It feels like i’m in line again
Hoping maybe i’ll find time what then
I guess i’ll have to run to blend
I feel like i’ve been lying again
I feel like i’ve been
I can’t fake it much
Call me out and i’ll begrudge
Everything you say to me i feel like fighting
Tip back don’t unpack
Who’s admitting i’m over that
Stuck thinking there’s no one to relate
Played it like a pro
But no one seems to care
And at the same time
It feels like i’m in line again
Hoping maybe i’ll find time what then
I guess i’ll have to run to blend
I feel like i’ve been lying again
I feel like i’ve been

So Long

Life is so young I’m holding back
It’s surreal I can no longer drive on my own
I feel like I’m almost through I don’t know
I’ll throw my arms up
So long It’s been so long
Since I’ve been back home looking like
Knowing I can feel like you
Have enough of me is new
Oh and I can feel whole again
I’ll throw my arms up
To feel surrender
Don’t think I’ve folded
Into some lesser boy molded
I can run around for days on end
I’ll be dizzy waiting for you my love
Sitting outside on a local morning
I start to see I almost poured out my seldom views
Looking out for you I say it’s cold out so I can save you
From all the feelings that you rarely use

Splinters
03:40

Laying on the floor looking up at you
Thinking about how we could do
Everything better than everyone else
I don’t wanna get up i just wanna melt
Through the cracks of the floor to the core of us
I don’t mind splinters I just want more for us
Looking forward to your lasting company
Looking for your ever lasting remedies
Sipping on pain we try to get away
Stuck in our location we embrace it
Again again
We are not afraid we feel it every day
It is our vocation and so we say
Away away
Never felt whole till you said it
I could be home in a second
Bring you in slow now i’m guessing
Had a rough day i’m here to listen
Trim you back down over growing
Ought to know that i’m so controlling
Double back out but i’m holding on tight to this feeling
Fucking undercover like you’ve got something to hide
Loving like you don’t ever have to go outside
Suck the sun up and lift her out of sight
Lucked out we know
Sipping on pain we try to get away
Stuck in our location we embrace it
Again again
We are not afraid we feel it every day
It is our vocation and so we say
Away away

Jimmy

Wasted away it feels like I’m onto him
When will he say with all the family oxygen
The way he explains and claims the fame of knowing best
Goddamn Jimmy
It feels like I’m onto him
Rest my case but no one seems to give a damn
Please excuse me
Gonna use some new words you may not like them oh well
I’ll stop to talk if you deserve my time
I’m unwell Sick of all the lies I’ve taught myself
So Jimmy’s home again
He’s looking for his oldest friend
But maybe he’s gone what then
Here’s that hoping Jimmy’s got a plan
Nothing has changed
The same old conversation
Trying to find ways
To keep it all without it straining
I finally feel like i'm growing up
Don't wanna fight back just open up
I close my backpack its full enough
What’s this for
So Jimmy’s home again
He’s looking for his oldest friend
But maybe he’s gone what then
Here’s that hoping Jimmy’s got a plan
‘Cause Jimmy’s home again
He’s looking for his oldest friend
But maybe he’s gone what then
Here’s that hoping Jimmy’s got a plan
Cause Jimmy don’t
Jimmy please don’t call me at home
Jimmy don’t want to listen at all
If its done right jimmy wont cry
Better ways but jimmy wont try
Stuck trying to break out of his old ways
I’ll be sitting here counting the days

Say My Name
04:17

I love when you listen to me sing from the bed
It makes me feel like I’ve got everything I want
Just say my name
Say say my name
We bought a house that we don’t live in
I can’t wait to show my family what they were missing
Let’s buy that couch that bed frame we were wanting
It’s all for the fun of living loved with no condition
I’ll say you name
Say say your name
If you drift away
I’ll just hold on tight I’m cliche
I know I’ll regret
Ever doubting my love
Ever doubting your love for us
In love with how you leave your things around for me to find
Without you home is empty and I’m pacing all the time
Lets light all the candles put the fire on the tv
Just say my name
Say say my name
If you drift away
I’ll just hold on tight I’m cliche
I know I’ll regret
Ever doubting my love
Ever doubting your love for us

Dizzy
03:07

Sore from all this tumbling
My body aches for so much more
Broken every which way roped in
Wrote a bit but I'm fraying now
There ain’t enough rope for holdin’ on
There ain’t enough for all of us
Poured me another drink of stories
There’s no way I was old enough
Broke hold the rope around my chest
I drop the knife and I run away
There ain’t enough rope for holding on
There ain’t enough for all of us
The way you praise me makes me dizzy
Hide my way from those who raised me
Wishing that they would just trust what they taught me
I'm feelin’ like a lot, i'm feeling like im not
Home by now

Dramatic
04:01
|

Self defense are you thinking out loud again
Eyes are on you this time, running on adrenaline
Overstayed your welcome isn't good enough
Losing mind is your fine for making them wait for you tonight
Dramatic
Eat the pain it’s a triggered rage
Feel the same as the friends you’ve made
Break the fence of common sense
Open up, take the blame
They who have you framed and made
Claim the same, overwrite it all
It feels dramatic, am i an addict
It feels dramatic, it’s my automatic
Having you
Slow me down, too quick to call me out
Got a plan if i lose, can’t help that i’m destined too
Poking brains noticing they’re all the same
Duplicated in different ways
Too fixated on the social climb of fame
It feels dramatic, am i an addict
It feels dramatic, it’s my automatic
Having you
Slow me down, too quick to call me out
Got a plan if i lose, can’t help that i’m destined too
Poking brains noticing they’re all the same
Duplicated in different ways
Too fixated on the social climb of fame

Lately
02:52

Lately i’ve been running round
I’ve got no time time to ground
Where did my friends go i need to know
This must be how time seems to fold
Where did my friends go
Brushes just sit there looking clean
I wonder if they know what it means
When i don’t use them for awhile
When i forget me i’m in denial
Where did my friends go
I never knew
What you could do
Maybe i could use
Something new
So i have fallen once again
A sudden sense of subtle commitment
I see her dancin softly in the sand
The hour glass is held tight in my hand
Where did my friends go
