Wasted

Every day I’d wake up to war inside my head
and try to turn the sound off to go back to bed
the more I try to fight it the more it over takes
cause thoughts, they are like lighting
You ground them with your weight
and I have been wasted. I have been lost
and I have tasted the bitter words I bought
I’ve been basic but I have learned a lot
about what I am not
who and what I want
So here’s to new beginnings
Let sleeping dogs lie still
In ditches with their winnings
Laid alongside their kill
Cause I have been wasted. I have been lost
and I have tasted the bitter words I bought
I’ve been basic but I have learned a lot
about what I am not
who and what I want
And I can see there’s nothing in the way
of where I stand today
Yeah what I mean is that something here has changed
and I can finally say that
That I have been wasted. I have been lost
and I have tasted the bitter words I bought
I’ve been basic but I have learned a lot
about what I am not - who and what I want
So listen when I tell you
that I know where I stand
Exactly where I am - Exactly where I am.

Cowards

I have no opinion on anything that you’re saying
It makes no sense to me, so how can I say my piece
I do believe we’ve reached the bottom
How can something fall so suddenly into the weeds
If all we do is spend our hours
Making plans & building towers in between
Maybe we’re asking for it, baby from the beginning
You take all control of this, then ask me what my choice is
Throw me a bone or two, when it feels good to you
I lose myself in pieces, never fast enough to feel it
till I’m left alone with all the holes
These missing roles and gaping plotlines
written off again in my mind as it folds
from underneath
So maybe we’re asking for it, baby from the beginning
Are we offering it, are we offering it, are we offering it the power?
Are we crumbling, are we crumbling, are we crumbling, are we cowards?

Get Out Now

I have been thinking about what it is I would have said
If you’d have come to me and told me what was in your head
Instead of carrying it - You should know better than this by now
Oh it’s so easy to get lost in your reasons and forget how
Everything’s straight forward when you’re walking toward it and there
Is no power but for what you afford it
And you can lose yourself without even leaving the house
So get out now. Get out now.
All of the shadows in your mind they feel immovable
Blocking the exists you relax into the push and pull and
It’s so routine now that you don’t even seem to see it unfold
But you’ve got an army of us pulling for you here, I hope you know
That everything’s straight forward when you’re walking toward it and there
Is no power but for what you afford it
And you can lose yourself without even leaving the house
So get out now. Get out now.
And oh, you just keep moving - moving on
Everything’s straight forward when you’re walking toward it and there
Is no power but for what you afford it
And you can lose yourself without even leaving the house
So get out now. Get out now.
Get out now.

Bad Fit

If you’re gonna stay
Stay the evening
If you’re gonna leave
Wait till the morning
I need someone to hold
Just for the moment
When the nights are cold
That’s all I’m asking
You don’t have to tell me all your secrets
Happy just to leave them underneath the rug
Careful not to trip over the pile of clothing and denial
That I’ve been building up
Maybe it’s a bad fit
You’re just a distraction
I’m starting to crave being caught in the action
Breaking my own heart just to prove it’s still beating
So if you wanna play
Just play the role, babe
You don’t have to tell me all your secrets
Happy just to leave them underneath the rug
Careful not to trip over the pile of clothing and denial
That I’ve been building up
Maybe it’s a bad fit
You’re just a distraction
I’m starting to crave being caught in the action
Breaking my own heart just to prove it’s still beating
Maybe it’s a bad fit
Maybe it’s a bad fit
Maybe it’s a bad fit, but my heart is still beating.

Treading Water

Look at this place
What a mess we made
We took something graceful and we broke it’s legs
You hear me now
Don’t let that be all you see
You think you’re lost
I think we’re all that way
Yeah, I think we’re
All liars enslaved
Just trying to make a clean getaway
Swept up in a sea,
All taught to believe we could swim to safety
Treading water, I was
Treading water with the best of them
To safety
Treading water, I was
Treading water till I lost my breath
And so I’m letting go
I’m floating
So I’m letting go of knowing
I think we’re
All liars enslaved
Just trying to make
A clean getaway
Swept up in a sea
All taught to believe
We could swim to safety
Treading water, I was
Treading water with the best of them
To safety
Treading water, I was treading water till I lost my breath
