Take your hand 04:54
lyrics
[Chorus] Just so you know I'm just so used To never being good enough At anything I do You say it's just fine That I'm amazing to you But I dropped my best lines Before I dropped this excuse [Verse] Oh, I'm just so bent out of shape Yeah, I'm shaping up to be everything I hate And I'm so easy to mold It's like I'm made out of clay But this is something I can not hold Like your hand Or my breath when you're away I'm suffocating in the mirror saying [Bridge] Oh blue boy Turn a different hue I'm sure they're willing and ready To see something new So just put on something else Like that fake smile, what the hell Just be anyone but you You can be anything but yourself [Chorus2] Just so you know I'm just so used To never being good enough At anything I do You say it's just fine That I'm amazing to you But I dropped my old life So why would I ever drop this excuse [Verse 2] I know I can't fool you To you I am see through When I turn to the mirror and you draw me nearer I'm the french opposite of your sex I step closer to the artist out of reflex Don't take my words out of context [outro] Because I can't escape you No matter how either of us retract it's Always another a futile attempt You keep me skin tight So do I, you, every night Like you know me better Like I know you best Like you're my sweater Like I'm your vest I'm zip-stuck with no relent Like we're matching straight jackets With love, you can't escape yourself

Weight For Me 05:01
lyrics
I remember waiting How the weight almost killed me Trying to discuss what would fulfill me But feeling overstuffed with disgust and creme filling I couldn't see I needed clarity to realize levity wouldn't enlighten me I had to fight to breathe in hopes I'd find release But I found a deeper grief on the inside so deep So I started making promises I couldn't keep On all the pounds in hopes of relief But my problems grew as I tried not to eat Soon I knew, in sweat, with heat Half this man I had to beat Before his wasteful ways laid drunken siege And tore away most the man I needed to be I was truly at war with my obesity It was eating me more, but I had a beast in me Pushing three fifty on the scale made me feel sickly So I moved swiftly, to stop letting myself go drifting I stayed on my feet and in under a year a new man in the mirror I would greet. Two thirty, I was forgiving myself for how I hurt me That was the morning, my mirrors finally became worthy If you're digging for the survivor within, just keep searching What you'll uncover is someone you deserve to be. It was for me.

Yesteryear 04:23
lyrics
Next year, I won't miss this year But this year, I miss last year Just like last year, I missed a past year And it's nights like these that I am without ease I'm lonely, but not the one and only I know there's some one out there feeling just the way I am It's more than just more than likely That they see things just the same way that I see them Tomorrow, I won't miss today And yesterday, I didn't miss the day before But just like the days before, I miss many of them, now tell me what that feeling's even for? Those past nights were obviously never meant for me to put on repeat We feel it, oh yeah we feel it We're feeling every single thing Like it's injected straight in through our veins So tell me, did you feel that like I felt it? I'm lonely, but not the one and only I know there's some one out there feeling just the way I am It's more than just more than likely That they see things just the same way that I see them

If it were a garden (I'd be David Spade) 04:41
lyrics
When will I stop praying? I know I know These holy quotes didn't bless themselves And all saints go to hell Well I know I woulda been better If there was a rain check For the rest of the weather Oh and that bitter taste Is the rest of our time wasted When will you stop waiting? Don't you know Words like these don't write themselves Love letters don't cast spells Well you know You shoulda known better But there's no rain check For the rest of the weather Oh and that bitter taste Is the rest of our time wasted When will you stop saying What everyone knows Promises don't break themselves We all know you meant well Well everyone knows They coulda done better If there was a rain check For the rest of the weather Oh and that bitter taste Is the rest of our time wasted x2 If there was a rain check For the rest of the weather

Short, Sad, Sweet Nothin' 05:53
lyrics
I figured I could always live in a dream I figured I had a long way ahead of me Until I looked over my shoulder So soon, so much faster than it seemed So soon, so, time was catching up to me Until it left me, a colder shoulder It gave me brain freeze when I tried to rest my head And a break check when I leaned it back against the headrest I tried to rest my eyes but only for a moment They were right, you blink and you miss it all I really think I missed it all I only blinked missed it all I really only missed it all The good times must have flashed before my eyes But just like a bad photo, they were closed At least I had kept them open for so long so I saw the bad times come and go I saw the sad times come and go I felt the cold wind blow in through my window It gave me brain freeze when I tried to rest my head And a break check when I leaned it back against the headrest I tried to rest my eyes but only for a moment They were right, you blink and you miss it all I really think I missed it all I only blinked and missed it all I really only missed it all It's been a short, sad, sweet... Nothing

Coming of Age 05:25
lyrics
buy track
Do you remember being a kid Playing pretend You wanted to be a super hero or princess Just wanted to be someone of interest Remember when you were just about 10 When you found out Santa claus, the easter bunny, the tooth fair They were all just pretend You know how they told you You can be anything you wanted to be But what are they? What the fuck would they be? If they could be anything Then why do they hate their lives? Next thing you know, You're staring down the timeline of 25 years Your parents don't have the guts to tell you Some guy you talk to online has the nerve to tell you you have decide What you're going to do with your life Because if you keep waiting around You're never going to sum out to anything And you start to realize Just like the easter bunny Just like when you could play pretend This has all been a game that they played with you They enthuised it, they just didn't want your dreams to die so soon They wanted you to be able o sleep at night and look forward to life They wanted you to be able to continue forward and not feel like they did And just like before You could pretend that your goldfish or your dog that died Ran away, or if you knew, you pretend that they go to heaven But you know that they are just in a box, in the dirt, in your fucking back yard There's no proof, just keep pretending Because growing up Growing up... Getting older, doesn't mean growing up Growing up means taking responsibility of knowing everything dies Everyone you love, your imagination Your dreams. They told you not to give up your dreams But deciding to grow up And settle for mediocrity that's giving up, that's giving up on everything Why did you even believe it? What other lies did they tell you?
