Weary

It really gets me weary when I think about all the breaths and seasoned years I took for granted.
That's why I get,
Away,
From this place,
And in the light.
(Call it missed opportunity,
A plaintiff plain to conformity,
You can't shake your head if it's glued to the wall).
It really breaks me down to find I'm alone when all the lights aren't on.
Cause I think I'm losing my head,
Again,
And everyday,
Until I die.
(Can't get high off the friendliness,
One more day with this emptiness,
Who would've thought that blue light makes you blue).
I'm the light, see me flicker.

Tangible Times

Too far from the bottom, not close to the top,
It's a bit of a cliche i know, but it's an accurate thought,
When life was a mystery, and I was the cause,
Making clues that weren't there to try to solve what was lost.
Always knew what I wanted, always had what I need,
Never a surplus of nothings mistaken for greed,
When life was a footrace, and I held the gun,
Knew I had a trigger finger, before the race had begun.
I've always had something to fall back on,
An emergency line,
Something to hold on to,
These are tangible times.
Finance forgotten, A budget of costs,
Chase it with lime to try to take the edge off,
When life was a fist fight, and I pulled my punch,
Never thought that bruised knuckles proved all that much.
I've always had something to fall back on,
An emergency line,
Something to hold on to,
These are tangible times.

Era 6
02:55
|
|||
|
A momentary lapse of judgement,
And I awoke from sleeping on the floor,
My head's next to a pile of broken guitar strings,
Rusted from the cold drafts beneath the floorboards.
This hunger doesn't feel like hunger anymore,
I ask a neon light for an answer,
Let it shine bright while you sit tight, darling take it away,
Cause you know I need some time to air dry these cold cheeks.

Catching

Let's take our minds off this mess,
We know the feeling ain't right right now,
Protect your visual of the past,
So you can move to your best behaviour.
If you can't catch the break that I'm giving to you,
Then you gotta fight that maniac inside of you,
Show it who's the boss and boss it up out of you,
Don't let it undo you, cause it'll undo me too.
I know that it ain't fair to tell you what to do,
One day I'll make it known that it was good for you,
There is no time to let it take the best of you,
Put that smile on your face and face the fire that is catching up to me/you.

Scrutiny
03:21
|

No one expected you to be good on the first try,
It's not something to get stressed out or caught in the details.
I just want everything to be fun but it's not when you lose honesty in your work,
Get lost in perfections.
What happened to using what you got?
What happened to taking what you get?
Scrutiny only gets in the way of being where you wanna be.
I'm not saying to make mistakes but, when the hundredth time is just as good as the first one,
Maybe you should take a break.
What happened to using what you got?
What happened to taking what you get?
Scrutiny only gets in the way of being where you wanna be.
Don't simplify what was always simple,
Don't simplify what was always simple,
We haven't earned what's in our hands,
We haven't earned what's in our hands.

My Kind Of People
04:17

You're my kind of people,
The type to stay caught up,
And I think I might be,
Caught up too.
When does a long time turn into forever,
Define the outline, define the centre form,
Get caught up, circling the bad parts,
Don't recognize the point of everyone.
Curse the rain for the day to be a bad one,
Take up smoking for extra breaks,
Drink and dress to say I did something today,
Sit by a fire to normalize.
You're my kind of people,
The type to stay caught up,
And I think I might be,
Caught up too.
