Watch It Burn

Waking up again at 5 in the morning
Welcome to the next day of your life
Count up all the ways the day could fuck up
Lose count again
Hope that you slept good last night
Slow morning
The world is on fire again
You try and tune it out but
A friend of a friend just died and
It’s on the news and the tv and the feeds
And the coffee isn’t strong enough for this
Didn’t think we could be so tired
While being so fucking pissed
We all had something on our minds yeah
Don’t think we’re gonna shake it this time
Maybe we can light it up and
Sit on back and watch it burn
Trying to go to sleep at 10 in the evening
Gonna lay awake at least till 3
Count up all the ways I made the same mistakes
Lose count again
This can’t be all there is to me
Why fight it
I’m gonna be a wreck again
I’d end it, but a friend of a friend of a friend
Just died and
I know It seems selfish to live a life so fucking small
But this world it beats me until
I fit right in your palm

I should have known by now
Uh-huh
Was something I could see
A mile away
But I never thought of permanence
When it came to trading blows
And now it’s blown up in my face
I say
Hey baby, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Ah yes aint that fresh
Something’s always pulling me
Something I can feel but never see
The problem isn’t body
It’s a sickness of the mind
The problem is the center of my soul always
Seems so hard to find
And so I’m always right on
The verge of some collapse
I would take the right direction but
Seems I’ve burned up all the maps
I say
Hey baby, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Ah yes aint that fresh
Something’s always pulling me
Something I can feel but never see
Gravity and sleepless nights
Someone get me out of here
Before i disappear

Out of Control
04:34

I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna be a good one
I’ve got a feeling that is welling up in me
I’ve got blood and all the tubes i need to use it
Is this love or is it just anxiety
Well the sun is shining
And my heart is pumping
And my head is telling me ok ok
You should cross your fingers
You should hold it back now
Cos from here it’s only one step away
I'm out of control
I’ve got restlessness that i cannot contain
Sickness that gets into everything i do
I’ve got thoughts that will not keep to themselves
So tell me, what the hell am i supposed to do
Well the sun is beating
On this pregnant feeling
And I’m worried that my head just might explode
I’ve tried to explain it
Nothing can constrain it
Maybe I would be much better off alone
I’m a cannonball
I’m a sinking ship
I’m a neutron that refuses to decay
I am telling you
No I am begging you
Please, just get out of my way

I've been loaded up
I've been loaded up
Took a little vacation
I've been loaded up
Never ever wanna hurt someone, just wanna get unstuck
I've been loaded up
Come on
I've been frozen up
I've been frozen up
Took a little tumble down
I've been frozen up
I ain't got no prospects, yeah, I ain't got no luck
I've been frozen up
Come on
Just wanna get unstuck.
I've been all locked up
I've been all locked up
Determinism..., I've been all locked up
I need a little probability in my cup
I've been all locked up
Come on
Never ever wanna hurt someone
Just wanna get unstuck

U Can't Break Me

Falling out of love yeah
On my own
Kick me while I’m down better
I should know
My heart like a garden
Watch it grow
U cant break me
Times are a troubling
Burden grows
Face to the wind now
Off we go
Always feel like I’m crumbling
I know you know
U can't break me
Waiting on a new wave
Watch me flow
Waiting on a new dance
Do see do
Gotta watch out for the darkness
Undertow
U can't break me

Lately, I’ve been watching
Watching from across the room
Our lives, are they broken?
Is it just too soon
For us
To all this, you have been woken
For All love, or all alone
For this, i have been spoken
All lives, all in bloom
Lately, I’ve been searching
Floating across the moon
Tone deaf, I’ve been joking
Give in, but not too soon
And sail
There’s no better mistake
Then my Midas touch
I’ve been so wrong
It’s been a rush
It’s time to fly again
Above all decay
But as I look down
I ask myself
Are you ok?

I’ve been down this road before
Dark or light, it’s one, it’s hard
And do you run, or do you fight?
Do you know, or do you lie?
Can you face another day?
No more.
Do you run, or do you fight?
Do you know, or do you lie?
And when it’s done will you be right?

Drown
I fell down
Under the sea
I was so tired under the sea
You came down for me
How can I forget you?
The moon in your eyes
And the sun behind
Deep down inside
We fell inside
I’ll never become
I’ll never be gone
Deep down inside

We found the nighttime
High up on the hill
The moon shines it’s face at us
The grass is the palest it’s been
Goodnight my love
I’ll see you when I die
