Wait

Wait for the sign on the hill to read
It’s OK to proceed
Just go ahead and lose your mind
Everyone will do it all the time
I can’t wait to be up there
I know I’ll be in air
The golden age to be in bloom
I hope I get there soon
To be in touch with everyone we love
I never fit inside the glove
To mold with everyone I meet
Wait ‘til it’s complete
I just had to know for sure
If I could catch the lure
Silhouetted by starlight
Shadowed by satellite
Wait ‘til the broken past dissolves
The future will resolve
Our mistakes we kept in tact
I’m on a different track
Moving outwards and above
I’ve never felt so loved
I hope this movie never ends
And my story follows trends

A Moment Too Soon
03:34

Why did you lie, why did you lie to me
Were you intending to hurt
Just another knife in the back
The blood is dry to my shirt
Late into the night I howl at the moon
Sneakin’ out the door with my combat boots
Ready runnin’
Don’t ask me how I feel
I’m only moments away
From unraveling
Come even
There must be more here to say
Storming out the room not a moment too soon
(Go on and do your best alone)
I’ll do it better when I get a little more away from here
(You don’t have to prove anything, I get it)
In your eyes I held you down
You view me as you see you
Take a step and you’ll move back
Into another heart attack

Doin' Alright
04:42
|

|
Don’t you wonder if it's really happening
All the worries in your head are now foreseen
It's a hell of a fight
To do alright
Doin’ alright for now
Stand up resist
Show em your fist
Doin’ alright for now
But how long can we hold the door
Before the wall comes down
You don’t second guess yourself in front of the hounds
Though they snarl and growl
They got no bite
So just continue the fight
Some get up and change their minds
All good in due time
But how long
Are we motionless or do we have the legs
To carry what our shoulders bare and march them for today
It's a hell of fight
To do alright
Doin’ alright for now
Stand up resist
Show em your fist
Doin’ alright for now
But how long
Cause tomorrow decides if we’ve been right
And if we oughta be heard
It's a freedom of choice
It's a freedom of choice

All my friends
All my friends are moving on
Don't you forget about me
Don't you forget about me
By the next holiday
We’ll all be so much older
Tell me what did I miss this time

Japan

As a traveling girl I was happier then
I had fresh cut hair
I had foreign friends
And we’d stay out until 6am
Just making out
And heaving drinking
And something inside me is reaching for something inside you
And something inside me is reaching for something inside you
Tapas bars and cobble streets
The Pyrenees and nicotine
Living light and loving heavy
Open eyes no second guessing
Feelings I have now they're so far gone
And something inside me is reaching for something inside you
And something inside me is reaching for something inside you
And something inside me is reaching for something inside you
And something inside me is reaching for something inside you
As a traveling girl I was happier then
I had fresh cut hair
I had foreign friends

Paralyzed
03:23
|

|
Used to be so paralyzed
Around feeling not enough
Opened up my heart and stopped being so harsh
I’m finally waking up
Often times it’s hard to trust yourself
Paralyzed
I’m not paralyzed
I’m not paralyzed anymore
I’m not paralyzed
I’m not paralyzed
I’m not paralyzed anymore
It’s never like it used to be
But there's so much strength in moving on
I dug a little deeper
Wanted bigger answers
Now I see the truth
I feel it in my bones that anywhere is home
If you can make the space

Predators
02:42

Hold your breath my hummingbird
You’re so scared of predators
If I let these secrets surface to a place that you can see them
Does it make me weak
We would be unstoppable
If we could just be vulnerable
If I let these secrets surface to a place that you can see them
Does it make me weak
You could show me all your darkness and it wouldn’t bother me
A past that's filled with living nightmares
Try to throw away the key
And ain't it the truth babe, we’re living proof babe, nobody rides for free

Mania Days
05:02
|

|
At the harbor by the shore
Alligators fasting for their Lord
So adored
Mania Days
Control the message sent
For lunacy
Is how it's meant to be
Once it happened I believed it
I won’t go by any name
Luminescence. Secondary
Commit to fraud or forgery
I set my eyes on amphitheatres
Taste of apple I can’t reach
Honeygolds are out of season
Heaven sent the ripest peach
Academic honoree
Bless this man a thousand pages he
Disagreed
Mania Days
Now we’re living
Mania Days
Now we’re living free

Fallacies
03:51
|

|
Your drinking problem was
My drinking problem too
Now you hit me up saying you switched up
Made adjustments and that's cute but
I know you think you mean it
And though you think you mean it
There's no way that you’re changing soon
And though you think you need me
I know you think you need me
There's no way that you’re changing soon
I tried to
Protect you
But now there's nothing left
Caught up in fallacies
That you might change for me
Now im living at my parents house
And sleeping on my parents couch
And now I have to live without you
Your friends don't know what I went through
I fought so fucking hard for you
All they see is this empty space I left
The space I left

Channel Surfing

Footed on the stage, bright lights hot
Glitter on my face, anxious palms
You could never be
Hung up on these thoughts, sabotage
You don't got the vibe or the style
You could never be
Truth is never what we perceive
Still these ugly words eat at me
You could never be
Heavy in the room, quiet in the air
Waiting for the cue, staring at my hands
Now the band begins
Take your time to seek your reasons
All you have to give
Off the stepping stone watch me leave uninhibited, unafraid
How can it feel this way
Some guy buys a round, but I don't even drink unless its top-shelf whiskey
I don't really care, I just wanna go home and forget we played this awful show
Roll up a spliff, it was just a bad night, write a new song about feeling alright
Mixes come back, but the vocals fall flat, and tonight we owe the venue
Right on the brink of giving it up, 'cause trusting the process might not be enough
Constantly thinking of where I should be, but I guess life's not this linear thing
Is it only me questioning
Tear out the pages of notebooks I've written
The words and the doodles are somebody else
It’s not a surprise to be growing up older
But now I forget what I wanted to be
A singer, a dancer, a writer perhaps
An artist with passion; a visionary
Am I still believing in all my desires
Or have they run amok
Taking the wheel on my fantasy drive
And steering me closer to why I'm alive
Drifting and swerving while nodding along
Open your mind to me
Am I the impostor I've always suspected? I guess I'll never know
And why should I care if this music's for me, and not to make me cool
