Barely Here 02:44
How I’ve enjoyed the view I’m always scanning the walls for more bad news Of catastrophic situations every second invasive Contemplation The vision’s out of line Just wanna feel alright I swear you want me dead Not far off from where I’ve been Theres so much more to all of this So I’ll duck my head Call it a trick of the trade We can’t maintain the highs It’s just a parting taste So distract and delay Every junkie has his day What more is there to say? You can stow me away Somewhere that feels safe So safe Just like every choice I’ve made of late

Can you still hear me? I need you near me And I can’t wait another second to get home Do you still see me? Needing you, pleading with the jet stream Find quickest way that gets me to your door My disconnect Between the routines that we live And the all the chaos that conflicts Around us Constant unconscious So out of touch when I’m away Just know I think about you every single day There’s one thing that I truly know for sure When I’m with you, I could never be alone or on my own I can’t ever let you go I can’t No, I can’t Yeah, I can’t Ever let you go My conscience slips All the seconds start to skip I know the time zones want my sure surrender But while I’m gone out there in my own world, you’re home And on your own A few more hours away Then I’m right back next to Lean on anything That’ll keep me true to you It’s all I can ask you to do

Don’t you dare Walk away from this conversation I got the message, but you could say it with your chest if you were The saints You made yourselves out to be You’re all too good for the dream And now you’ll never be perceived By anyone for anything But when it’s all been dead and done You’ll know Watch what you say You might have to own it one day Wouldn’t that be a Shame Is what you bring on yourself when you’re caught running your mouth It’s such a shame I can’t believe I gotta say this “We are not the competition.” But if you want it, then you got it Just look around The room is vacant Just like everything you say when it feels safe I hope you hear this song And panic every day I know exactly what you are Not hard to tell apart You’re fraudulent Look how all of this panned out Out of time to double down Best to bow out I’ve made my point Now you can all go fuck yourselves
4.
You’re careless with your words And trailing off in incoherent bursts This hit me where it hurts It's hard for me to say what you deserve The face of a stranger In place of someone you would’ve died for The face of a stranger In place of someone you would’ve died for I think about your problems There’s no easy to solve them Now you’re falling down again From the trauma constant clouds above your head This face of a stranger In place of someone you would’ve died for The face of a stranger Falling down Falling down Never meant to hit the ground

You Hate Me 03:32
You phase me But now it’s so long over and out This changed me I just don’t know what to do with myself Caught up in a contradiction Can’t you be happy with yourself? Blurred lines of fact and fiction Wishing that you were someone else You hate me Since I know how these stories shake out Disgrace me There’s no one else I can blame but myself Chorus: Caught up in a contradiction Can’t you be happy with yourself? Blurred lines of fact and fiction Wishing that you were someone else Can anybody hear me pleading, screaming “I think we’re going down” You phase me But now it’s so long, over and out. This changed me I just don’t know what to do with myself

My heart pounds for towns Where no one makes a sound Quiet lives and peace of mind Where nothing's ever on the line dying for it now Open roads leave a hole in my heart I get home, and I blink, then I’m gone again Yea those sidewalkless streets They’re so priceless to me Get me on Long Island now Cry Tear after tear and Find What will always be by your side In life I know it seems like I’m barely Here Now try to be present Don’t break down Or live with regret For that time overseas Where I couldn’t be reached I don’t mean to let you down Each year Pulls further and further From staying here This choice is a burden The west coasts a dream Made in Heaven for me But I need Long Island now Life crawls away from you so slow So far away from your first Look Touch The things that feel so lush And you just can’t replace As every day flies by at Lucid Place Then all falls away Streetlights signs guiding you home Wherever you go
7.
There’s only so much left of me Even when I’m out of reach Just don’t forget me You were declining by the day Now you’re frozen in this state I can see it in your face I know that I still hold a place There’s signals and signs From the back of your mind Trying Trying To let me know that you still remember Canonized in your forever All I need is tomorrow Please remember my face for one more day It’s like a nail in my neck When I’m sitting close to your bed And the lights go On and off so Am I alone? The shame of passing by your exit You know, I instantly regret it My heart breaks From the guilt and weight It’s the routine that I lay with I’m being pulled in the wrong direction You deserve my full attention All I need is tomorrow Please remember my face one more day It’s like a nail in my neck When I’m sitting close to your bed And the lights go On and off so Am I alone? Don’t let me go Am I alone? Idolized Relief when I feel you In the glow of every light Idolized I will find You in every life

Somebody reel me in I’ve been treading out here the best I can Long-term victims of circumstance Yea we’ll figure it out, someone’s always got a plan If we all sit back and wait Maybe they’ll shut and lock the gate Heaven-sent with my closest friends In a game where no one wins in the end How am I supposed to know Every choice seems so unconscionable I shouldn’t stay here Who wouldn’t stay here? But I’ve been dying to let you know Down in my soul It's out of control This is all so out of control Feel the lows as they drag you under Split 12 ways Its side ways While I stay Bleeding myself dry On the highways Total fucking downturn In headspace Forget my name, my face Watch me fade away I’ve been dying to I’ve been dying too Or just press skip And we won’t talk about it
9.
I know you know what I mean I think you need what I need Let’s pause the grief and ward with pace and loiter Can’t you see We’re up late And circled up in bleak surroundings Getting that fix that we need There’s nothing breaking all the peace around me So just stay right here with me This is all All I could ever ask for You don’t know how much times left till you go But we’ll save it for then There’s a matter at hand So find your place And let go We’re up late And circled up in bleak surroundings Getting that fix that we need There’s nothing breaking all the peace around me So just stay right here with me This is all All I could ever ask for

Irreversible 03:13
You deserve everything every horrible thing in your life To happen twice Or all the time Yea all the time I offer one sole piece of advice Have some self-respect and therapize Defamation in places that can’t be seen (How can you go and shame my name) It goes both ways, that’s if you want it from me (When all you are comes right from me) You deserve a panic attack On an Amtrak train Going far, the fuck away From me So find the time To find some spine Take back your life You hang your head all day in shame What a productive way to be Everyone Is excusing your behavior Too far gone I swear the grudge in me is greater Watch the world outside go by from your window
