[Verse] Every day we get further from what really matters I'd say I'm spending time with all those thoughts that always drive me away Another night like this would be enough to drive you insane But if you would listen to me for once I'd be happy to explain
[Pre-Chorus] We brush on our makeup and dress all the way up Just to hide our shame Cover up the blame Another day, another dollar
[Chorus] Is it so wrong to stay inside? I want to hide from the blinding eyes Never alone, I'm always tied up In some maze inside my mind
[Verse] I hear the echoes of what they've done Always feeling like I wanna be someone This road we're walking is covered with their footprints Sinking quicker every day They say dreams are dead or is all that just in my head? Thoughts like weights pushing me into my bed So why are we here if we're living to impress? Thinking ‘bout others always adding to the stress
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge] I hear the echoes of what they've done (I hear the echoes) I hear the echoes of what they've done (I hear the echoes)
I hear the echoes of what they've done Never was one to be so outrun And as I sink I think I've lost my fight Am I too far to turn back tonight? And I try to climb but I'm falling still My nails dig into the ground they won't fit the bill And as I slide to my humble demise You might shine me light but you won't hear me fight (Repeats x1)
[Chorus x2]
[Outro] In some maze In some maze inside my mind In some maze In some maze inside my mind
[Verse] Every day we get further from what really matters I'd say I'm spending time with all those thoughts that always drive me away Another night like this would be enough to drive you insane But if you would listen to me for once I'd be happy to explain

[Verse 1] Looking around me I see more than I want to Feeling like less instead of what I once thought to Be in this life they've given a lot to hold on to But who I am now's not the same one that I knew
Look around they said, instead of looking down But every time I've done that, I don't like what I've found This skin I wear is mine indeed My face is too, in certainty But looking in the mirror at what I see It's not what I like, who I want to be
[Chorus] When the day breaks, I find myself in another standoff The glass in front will smirk and scoff I'll move along Thinking I'd be better off, and looking like a step above Wearing someone else's Wearing someone else's
[Verse 2] After looking around I can't look back down My head's stuck on a swivel Can't think, man it's a riddle Am I looking for the world? Nah, just some kind symbol Maybe some kind of impulse Yeah, something so simple
Milling about a group of like minded personnel United and pushing forward, but they couldn't tell Where they were going, why they were breathing, they weren't thinking They keep walking and walking to ascend, walk and descend my friend without seeing the end
[Chorus]
[Bridge] I'll hustle but what's the goal? Whose dream am I pushing towards? I'll struggle, but I gotta know Whose dream am I pushing for?
[Refrain] Look around they said instead of looking down But every time I've done that I don't like what I've found This skin I wear is mine indeed My face is too, in certainty But looking in the mirror at what I see It's not what I like, who I want to be
Looking around me I see more than I want to Feeling like less instead of what I once thought to Be in this life they've given a lot to hold on to But who I am now's not the same one that I knew
Looking like a step above Wearing someone else's (When the day breaks) Wearing someone else's (When the day breaks)
[Chorus] There's so many things that I'm fighting for So many things we choose to ignore
[Verse 1] Walk forwards, lay a brick down Slide forwards, another brick down Some disordered, but building quick now A small building, in my own town Bricks start falling all around And what's next? I don't know, but it kinda scares me Wanna find out but I don't know Cuz we lost the script and when it fell I slipped Design this project, get out of this system Enough time here, don't sleep on them
[Chorus] There's so many things I'm not ready for (There's so many things I'm not ready for) So many things we choose to ignore (So many things we choose to ignore) There's so many things that I'm fighting for (Yeah there's so many things that I'm fighting for) So many things we choose to ignore
[Verse 2] It's not a secret, the clock tells lies Think we have more time than we got But time's just something that can't be bought In reality no one has a clue When that clock will strike for you The sand runs out, it's sad but true Even if you have stuff left to do So don't waste time, 'cuz it's always moving It even flies and that's including The time we spend swallowed by fears It's not all penned as it appears So I'll ask you. Am I worthy?
[Bridge] No card up my sleeve, you saw this trick already Trying to find a guide, cuz all this is so scary Don't mean to deceive, or sound quite contrary I just wanna hide, and tell them all I'm sorry I'll just shut my eyes, cuz my vision's getting blurry Don't wanna fall asleep, or end up dead and buried Focus on the prize, or maybe just the journey Cuz now we're in too deep, and I'm just still so thirsty But I gotta ask, am I really worthy? (Am I?) Can I get it done, find the end of this whole story? Design this project, get out of this system Enough time here, don't sleep on them
There's so many things I'm not ready for So many things we choose to ignore
[Verse 1] No matter how many times you hit me I'll stick around, just beaten down Don't even know why we waste it When deep down we know it that there ain't no crown Not enough, hearing the missteps of others I'm stuck in a crowd Trying to find out my own way But man, is that allowed?
I promise I'll be sincere but I don't really think this’ll be what you want to hear But bear with me now, cuz I'mma tell it straight Has anyone noticed the clock when it's late? And like how it picks up the time off of your plate And the calendar moving past another date? Yeah, but it's never been so great Living ain't started I'm still in the wait Try to accept that I'll never escape Wasting time with a mask on my face Take me outside, get me outta this place Give it up now? Never wanna stop my chase
So, we stick around Never giving up We stick around Never giving up, never backing down
So if I could give my past self just one piece of good advice? Something to help that old self and find a way to feel alive? So if I could give my past self just one piece of good advice? Something to help that old self and find a way to -
[Verse 2] What do we leave behind when we die? Aren't there lots of things that I can't mummify? Yeah, lots of wrongs I made that I just can't purify But, such a list of things that'll really terrify and Look, I can't tell a lie but That'd be the first one on my list of many lies Like the mask on my face and the drapes on my eyes And another disappointment looking sure to come by but At least I tried? Trying's not enough and I just never seem to get it right Looking for another chance before I find I'm out of time Try to hide I'm not ok by mixing it within a rhyme Told you that the other day that things didn't be lookin' bright Sit em down and try again get out that pen and start to write Don't wanna show em anyway now that seems like an oversight (That seems like an oversight)
[Verse 1] First thing in the morning Never comes with the warning Light shining like silver lining Can it stay this bright all day?
Blinking my eyes staring at the sun Hope it stays up like for everyone But the moon comes quick and before you know it All the shiny lights ain't even round to show it
[Chorus] I saw the spider crawl again Another night trapped in his web "Not good enough" was what she said Let me out
I saw the spider crawl again Another night trapped in his web "Not good enough" was what she said Let me out, Let me out
[Verse 2] (Let me out) Is it time to scream? (Let me out) As I crawl between (Let me out) Back in routine (Let me out) Crushing doubts are normal running with the machine
Blinking my eyes staring at the sun Hope it stays up like for everyone But the moon comes quick and before you know it Conjure up another thought I can't control it
[Chorus]
[Bridge] If it's all just thoughts why can't I breathe? Brought by the spider, it won't set me free A lot of signs in this universe I want mine
Caught up by this spider that won't set me free Struggling and stumbling about the debris Find myself and do it right could that be the key? Try to find a way where it's ok to be me Try to find a way where it's ok to be me
Song lyrics: [Verse 1] We used to talk every night I always said the same things But you always listened I know I forgot About you, but Have you forgotten me too?
[Chorus] Did it matter what I said or asked for? And I'll lie in bed and look up at you
[Verse 2] This time things look different My face a little older I haven't forgotten you I just forgot to stop by But that’ll change on this night As I rush into your arms
[Chorus x2]
[Bridge] I always asked you to keep us safe Protect us from the darkness and the wrong Help us keep our wits against the stress Keep us concealed inside our lives I just hope that this message can be delivered in time
I hate when people only come to me when they need something I know that's not right, but I'm doing that tonight This offense is my last chance to make amends and my request So listen close cuz what you guessed won’t be expressed it's on my chest
I only have one thing to ask for tonight And it may turn out to be way too hard to write So I hope you can hear me implicit but clearly And shivering merely but always sincerely
I haven't been perfect I try to do right by you But at times I find I don't know what or how to Feeling too guilty it's ending so quickly now Did you hear me?
[Chorus] Did it matter what I said or asked for? (Didn’t matter, did it matter?) And I'll lie in bed and look up at you (And I’ll lie in bed and look up at you)
Did it matter what I said or asked for? (Didn’t matter, did it matter?) And I'll lie in bed and look up at you (I’ll lie in bed)
[Verse 1] Don't know if it could be fated I just know I can't be sated And it might not be my first fill But I know I feel that thirst still All the people celebrated All the people overrated Maybe I'm just super jaded Complicated and frustrated
Maybe I'm just super jaded Allow me to illustrate it I won't sugar coat it, make it Something that feels decorated Creativity and thought Those are the things that we lack Those are the things that should be sought When I sit and hear a track But don't actually hear a lot I cannot be taught to stop my thoughts I'd sooner sit and rot
[Pre-Chorus] Maybe I'm just super jaded Maybe I'm just super jaded Maybe I'm just super jaded
[Chorus] The words they wrote they don't inspire The thoughts they thought don't start a fire Stronger voices breathe in louder But they still don't make a sound
[Verse 2] When you see an empty paper Possibilities are countless Paint a picture, tell a story Clear your chest and wipe your mind Wasted opportunities Is it fear of scrutiny? Am I singing fruitlessly? Borderline of lunacy
Maybe I'm just super jaded Faster and faster they said Our attention span is truly dead The media keeps us overfed And much better words go left unread Were you waiting for the chorus? Thirty seconds or less they warned us Any more we can't permit How long will this trend persist? Promise I'll try to resist Don’t just follow a checklist Struggle ‘til it feels perfect Any less is disrespect Can't even let songs begin Cuz catchy hooks and good looks win
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro] Maybe I'm just super jaded Maybe I'm just super jaded Maybe I'm just super jaded Maybe I'm just super jadedPlatform 55 - Should Be Easy (Live Performance)Platform 552020-06-13 | Stream our debut EP: platform55.fanlink.to/shouldbeeasy
We loved putting together this live performance of our new song Should Be Easy! Hope everyone enjoys it :)
[Verse] This corner's starting to make me feel really small Sometimes words don't mean the same thing for us all Let's talk about one that's simple and typical This corner's mine and leaving seems unthinkable Fun should be easy, it should be consistent So why does this scare me, and make me feel distant? Wish I didn't exist here Wish I didn't exist here Honestly I'm feeling like I don't have all the wires in my brain all lined up and connected in the spots they need to be If they were then how could I be feeling all this darkness and constant bouts of loneliness inside with all this company
[Pre-Chorus] No I'm not alone I know I'm not alone But I just wanna go home
[Chorus] I came here with a friend With the best of intent Supposed to be fun, at least it is for them When the lights go out All that's left is doubt My name unknown, thoughts overblown, I feel so alone
[Verse] I didn't really wanna come out tonight Stomach's in knots and churning tight An evening receiving a lot of nothing But believing that leaving would be so relieving And help me stop feeling invisible ‘Cuz that's all I am up against this wall Wonder if they hear me Question if they see me Didn't learn the protocol but feeling like a cynical ‘Cuz why can't I have fun with all this laughter shouldn't be difficult
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge] I wanna start again I'll find a different end
I wanna start again Rewind the night, pretend I'll find a different end I'll find my place instead (Repeats x2)
Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up Pouring out the insides and serving them up When I show you this song don't be afraid When I show you this song don't run away
[Verse]
Introspection with reflection My head acts as my protection Seal it up tight, melt away the key Broke the mold too, just to keep them free Feel like no one really understands other than me Should I be honest or just pretend that life's flawless? Hide bones in my pocket choose a nicer, lighter topic Honestly dishonesty seems like a better policy Probably constantly just lying but unconsciously It dissents and fights at times but I always just say I'm fine Laughs and smiles on their faces seem like they are a good sign Feel a smile also slowly start to creep up onto mine Force myself to fall in line Force myself to fall in line
Turn the page again
[Chorus x2]
[Verse]
As I stand alone in my forest and I'm just trying to be honest I leave the pen in my pocket, I can’t hear anyone talking Walking now, I hear some footsteps near me Feel somehow, their eyes upon me judging With pen out, I feel my mind's thoughts buzzing Darker spots, through my fingers like flooding Let the ink leak to a page, let the rest just leak out too As the weight inside relaxes, new bulbs light and gather traction Eyes and ears are opening up at my sides Sign away the rights now can I trust them with my life?
Turn the page again
[Chorus x2]
[Bridge]
As eyes and ears open up at my sides I wonder if I can trust them
When you see a star, and it takes you to another place Whisked out of the normal pace You feel like you're so far, disappeared without a trace Close your eyes and feel the race
[Chorus]
We're anything that we want to be Standing in trees or lost at sea I had the first right thought about my life On the darkest night of all
[Verse]
I wanna feel something else Something I haven’t felt before But I know just what I'm looking for And I know I'm getting closer now
When I find it I won't hide it Just the right fit Mind will admit Look for the light Despite the sight Of darkest night I’ll always fight
Until we have our own song to sing Find your words and keep them close to you
