BIG THANK
03:17
|
|||
Excuse me, you seem to have forgot your mind
And I’m sorry, it’s better off just left behind
With memories, rusted by the passing time
And stories, wasted on another mind
That I know, with the things you’ve never said before
I swear, that you wouldn’t know a sight from sore
Eyes bare, do you even know my name?
Well anyway, I just wanna hear you say
You’re so welcome, you never said it any way
Caught on your tongue, with all the lies of yesterday
You’re so welcome, you never said it any way
Just say, Big Thank
Excuses for why your needs live a on throne
With bruises that freeze over my broken bones
I’m useless and the words are not my own
But you’re a mess when I’m not there to catch your fall
Cause I know, all the things you’ve never said before
And I swear, that you wouldn’t know a sight from sore
Eyes bare, do you even know my name?
Well anyway, I just wanna hear you say
You’re so welcome, you never said it any way
Caught on your tongue, with all the lies of yesterday
You’re so welcome, you never said it any way
Just say, Big Thank
You’re so welcome, you never said it any way
Caught on your tongue, and I’m sorry for the big delay
You’re so welcome, you never said it any way
Just say,
Anyway
Just say,
Big Thank

A Thousand Songs
03:00
|
|||
This is a brand new building
Familiar and lost in awe
I cannot find my way around the memories in these halls
I wish that I could tell you
but I can’t find the words
I’m singing bout a 1000 different songs I’ve never heard
Let the memories trickle down
Let them all soak in
And let them fall away
Let them fall away
Let the memories trickle down
Let them all soak in
And let them fall away
Let them fall away
Yesterday
Experienced a lifetime
In just no time at all
I’m thinking that somewhere along the way it’ll all pay off
And long before you ask me
Which moment caused it all,
I’m living in a thousand different songs beyond these walls
Let the memories trickle down
Let them all soak in
And let them fall away
Let them fall away
Let the memories trickle down
Let them all soak in
And let them fall away
Let them fall away
Yesterday
Yesterday, (yesterday, yesterday, yesterday)
Let memories trickle down
Let them all soak in
And let them fall away
Let them fall away
Let the memories trickle down
Let them all soak in
And let them fall away
Let them fall away
Let them fall away
Let them fall away
Yesterday

THREAD
03:29

I feel alive barely sometimes
Walking in between these blurred lines
Why? Why do I try?
Face down, buried disguise
Underneath the silent sunrise
Lies, why do I try?
Why?
I’m hanging by a thread
I’ve already bled far more than my share
Tears have been shed falling to nowhere, know that
I’m hanging by a thread
I’ve already bled far more than my share
Tears have been shed falling to nowhere
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
See the signs I never describe
Taking time to make up my mind
Why? Why do I try?
Shut eyes looking for light
Can’t tell the truth from all the lies
Can I describe, why?
I’m hanging by a thread
I’ve already bled far more than my share
Tears have been shed falling to nowhere, know that
I’m hanging by a thread
I’ve already bled far more than my share
Tears have been shed falling to nowhere
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (thread)
I’m hanging by a thread
I’m hanging by a thread
I’ve already bled far more than my share
Tears have been shed falling to nowhere, know that
I’m hanging by a thread
I’ve already bled far more than my share
Tears have been shed falling to nowhere
I’m hanging by a thread (I’m hanging by a thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (I’m hanging by a thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (I’m hanging by a thread)
I’m hanging by a thread (I’m hanging by a)
I’m hanging by a thread

too late, too soon
03:37
|

Crumpled up my brain like paper planes
That flew too east and burned up both their wings
What if they had flown through winds of change?
Rather than the ash of yesterday
Maybe then they’d learn to fly around
Or learn to miss the ground
It’s just so hard to tell right now
Come around again, too late, too soon
Learning of the words, you said I knew
Hopefully I’ve changed, but into who?
Come around again, too late, too soon
Origami folding without tears
Papers ruined by your thoughts and prayers
Higher up I go, the less I care
But lying if I said I wasn’t scared
Maybe then I’d learn, to fly around
Or learn to miss the ground
It’s just so hard to tell right now
Come around again, too late, too soon
Learning of the words, you said I knew
Hopefully I’ve changed, but into who?
Come around again, too late too soon
Come around again, too late, too soon
Learning of the words, that you said I knew
Hopefully I’ve changed, I’ve changed, but into who?
Come around again
Come around again, too late, too soon
Hopefully I’ve changed

cried in my cadillac

This version of me right now, I hope it ain’t here to stay
I’m learning from my mistakes, the difference in guilt and shame
Bad things occur, you blame yourself, the actions don’t correlate
My therapist said “take your time, only permanent thing is change.”
I’m ready to face the facts, breathe homie, please relax
I’m ready to face the facts, breathe homie, please relax
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back
I know that I’ll be alright, allow to feel this way
Cause when I can talk it out, I’m mentally lifting weights
I give to you, who gives to me? Who gives me the things I need?
My therapist said “just hang tight and cry if you need to, King.”
I’m ready to face the facts, breathe homie, please relax
I’m ready to face the facts, breathe homie, please relax
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried in my cadillac
I don’t wanna hold back so I cried

Home Is Only a House
03:53
|

We found a house up on a hill where I first met you
Our secret place below the trees, the sky, the bamboo
It was so beautiful, you put flowers in my hair
It felt so natural, like I had known you all my years
That house was sturdy like a stump, it’s why I liked it
I needed roots deep in the ground, my life is hectic
But you felt stunted there, you had stories unexplored
So it was hard to hear you had your wings but could not soar
At least not with me chaining you to the ground
I could wait a year for you to shed all the doubt
I fell in love with the rain when you hated the clouds
For you
This home is only a house
This home is only a house
I’ll leave a key incase you knew your light is your own
What’s best for me? What’s best for you? What’s best for our home?
So what’s it gonna be? Do you pack up? Say see you soon?
And when you finally leave, will you have nothing left to loose?
I could wait a year for you to shed all the doubt
I fell in love with the rain when you hated the clouds
For you
This home is only a house
This home is only a house
This home is only a house
This home is only a house
I felt it deep in my bones when I said I’m gonna live in that house
At least we both now agree this home can’t have any doubt
And maybe one day you’ll see
This home ain’t only a house
This home ain’t only a house
This home ain’t only a house
This home ain’t only a house

god i am exhausted

My brain’s betrayed me
Idles thoughts are awful thoughts
Would someone come distract me?
Please come and distract me now
Can’t get lazy
Anything and everything could trigger all the feelings
Trigger all the memories
I clean my room three times a day to feel control
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
I’m fucking dying
Sleeping on the bus again
Or looking out the window
Holy shit, is that her car? (Fuck)
I can tell cause
It has all the stickers that I gave her when she got it
Now I’m scared of Subarus
Jesus Christ dude
Another song about how you had
“Thought you found your person”
She isn’t your person now
I’ll remind you
Don’t forget what happened
Oh thank god the bus is moving
Thank god I didn’t see your face
I clean my room three times a day to feel control, ooh
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted
When I can’t sleep, I can only think about you
God I am exhausted, god I am exhausted

NEW TOMORROW
03:17
|
|||
I’m speeding up in the fast lane, no one can catch up to me
My race is life and death, my blood spills out on the street
I’ll burn your statues down, remind you just how to bleed
I don’t wanna take your words for granted
I don’t wanna lose my line of sight
I just wanna be the new tomorrow
Why the fuck you hesitating?
Get up out my way or come on
I can’t standing up alone while you’re on your knees
Begging for things you want but not for things that you need
Bought my oblivion when you’re there tell me what you see
I don’t wanna take your words for granted
I don’t wanna lose my line of sight
I just wanna be the new tomorrow
Why the fuck you hesitating?
Get up out my way or come on
Why the fuck you hesita-ta-ta-ta
out my way or come on
Why the hesi-hesita-ta-ta-ta
out my way or come on
Why the fuck you hesitating?
Get up out my way or come on
I don’t wanna take your words for granted
I don’t wanna lose my line of sight
I just wanna be the new tomorrow
Why the fuck you hesitating?
Get up out my way or come on
Why the fuck you hesitating?
Get up out my way or come on
Why the fuck you hesitating?
Get up out my way or come on
I don’t wanna take your words for granted
I don’t wanna lose my line of sight
I just wanna be the new tomorrow
Why the fuck you hesitating?
Get up out my way or come on

“I think-I think for me it’s just more like, I-I just feel like I’m at the crux of a lot of different things right now and somehow I’m just starting to become who I’m supposed to be. And I know I- I wouldn’t be that person without my person, so. Let me uh, let me do one more take.”

all in one room
04:27
|

This is the first time
Might be the last time
That I see someone who sees me
Before you love came with hope
That it might change me to someone else
But I see you
So self aware, so beautiful
What if the world’s givers were all in one room
All in one room, I know that if
All of the world’s givers were all in one room, all in one room
Oh baby, I know one thing that's true
It would just be me and you
I remember the day
I even wrote it down
When it first hit me that I had something to say
I said I loved you
And you said you knew
You gave me this chance
When you said you loved me too
Now I see you
So self aware, so beautiful
What if the world’s givers were all in one room
All in one room, I know that if
All of the world’s givers were all in one room, all in one room
Oh baby, I know one thing that's true
It would just be me and you
And I see you
So self aware, so beautiful
What if the world’s givers were all in one room
All in one room, I know that if
All of the world’s givers were all in one room, all in one room
Oh baby, I know one thing that's true
Oh baby, I know one thing that's true
It would just be me and you
It would just be me and you
It would just be me and you
