Lyrics:
Never turn a blind eye
To the scrolls that led you here
You are little more
Than a single line of code
A mere footnote
In the passage of time
You can’t be the future
If you don’t last
All that you know
Is just a snapshot
Forgotten to time
As you return to the earth
The ashes remain of your wasted life
But you exclaim
That now is different
Then can you explain
How we both share the same hell
I’ll impart my wisdom
It will be your choice
You can blaze a new path
Or join us in this tomb
Treading water feels like progress
When you’re drowning death's tranquility calls out
We don’t all get to live
Though we’re all born to die
Yeah we’re all born to die
Generals and kings
All of human history
Conquer and erase
Destroy and replace
Treading water feels like progress
When you’re drowning death's tranquility calls out
We don’t all get to live
Though we’re all born to die
Yeah we’re all born to die
Without the wisdom of the ancients
Our curse is yours to repeat

Lyrics:
Another day in this broken state
I'm getting sick of picking up everything that you break
Three whole years
Never once did you think there isn't progress that we couldn't make
But I did
Yeah, I've been giving everything I have to give
And now I'm starting to get tired of pulling all the wires
(Pulling all the wires)
This situation's getting dire
I'm moving on
But I don't know what I'm running from
How did we get here?
It's never been so clear
But I'm trying not to disappear
Now I'm mad almost every day
The strеss always building inside my brain
Can somebody say if I'm going insane?
'Causе it feels like I'm running in circles again
(All the things I should have said)
I'm moving on
But I don't know what I'm running from
How did we get here?
It's never been so clear
But I'm trying not to disappear
Now I'm starting over
I haven't looked back since mid-November
So I'm moving on
I think I need a reset (A reset)
Spent far too long getting caught up in your web
If only we could forget (Forget)
If only we could forget
I'm moving on
But I don't know what I'm running from
How did we get here?
It's never been so clear
But I'm trying not to disappear
But I don't know what I'm running from

Lyrics:
I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights
I wish you could have seen us
Beggin' for change to get home
Or at least San Francisco
Let's put a ten on the high card
And spend a summer on the west coast
Down and to the left
Here's the map and the pen, the place you pointed at
Be California's best
All I ask, all I ask
Hey, please don't tell me
That I'm dreaming
When all I ever wanted was to
Dream another sunset with you
If I roll over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories
We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
Sunsets never were so bright
And the skies never so blue
You opened up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'til I have to
Down and to the left
Here's the map and the pen, the place you pointed at
Be California's best
All I ask, all I ask
Hey, please don't tell me
That I'm dreaming
When all I ever wanted was to
Dream another sunset with you
If I roll over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories
Memories
I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights
Hey, please don't tell me
That I'm dreaming
When all I ever wanted was to
Dream another sunset with you
If I roll over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories
We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
Sunsets never were so bright
And the skies never so blue
You opened up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'til I have to

Lyrics:
Honestly (Honestly)
I haven't been myself for three whole weeks
And this city gets me down
I wonder why it's always
Raining in my head (In my head)
I'll pitch my shelter in this bed
I am deciduous
Dying with the change of seasons
I can feel the rush
Of cold air against my skin and
Wish I could be an evergreen
Wish I could see the changing of the leaves
Wish I could be an evergreen
Wish I could see the changing of the leaves
In time when the snow comes down
Time will freeze while
My demons come out
Suffocate in winter's breath
Dissipate all I have left
Below the surface, in spite of purpose
I'm trying to forget
I'm trying to forget
You might also like
I am deciduous
Dying with the change of seasons
I can feel the rush
Of cold air against my skin and
Wish I could be an evergreen
Wish I could see the changing of the leaves
Wish I could be an evergreen
Wish I could see the changing of the leaves
(I am deciduous)
(I am deciduous) (I get by)
(I am deciduous)
I get by until the wind in my hair
(I am deciduous)
Starts to freeze and ensnare
Leaving me in despair
(I am deciduous)
I'm sick of feeling like I've got nothing left
Always stuck in my head
Fated to live with regret
(I am deciduous)
I get by until the wind in my hair
(I am deciduous)
Starts to freeze and ensnare
Leaving me in despair
(I am deciduous)
I'm sick of feeling like I've got nothing left
(I am deciduous)
Always stuck in my head
Fated to live with regret

Lyrics:
Her words still ringing in my head
“I wish you’d stop wishing you were dead
Get it together, we gotta stick together
You know I’d do whatever to help make you feel better.”
I just can’t quite figure out what’s wrong
There’s no place I feel like I belong
I don’t feel anything, anymore

Heavy chains shackle me to my bed
I can’t get up
I can see another breakdown coming
So sick and tired so I’ll just do nothing at all
Complacency sets in, I’ve heard it all before
I’m sick of wasting my time
Looking through photos online

Thesе days
Every word I try to say
Is cloaked in metaphor
I don’t feel anything, anymorе

It’s been weeks since I’ve accomplished anything
You’re the only thing I look forward to
I know that that’s not fair to you
I lock myself away in my room
I can’t move, I’m starving, exhausted
Facetious, so stagnant

These days
Every word I try to say
Is cloaked in metaphor
I don’t feel anything, anymore
I don’t
Feel like myself here anymore
I don’t feel anything
No I don’t feel anything, anymore

I just can’t blame this on the season
There’s a reason
That I don’t care about anything
I forgot to thank you for listening
I’m paralyzed and I can’t figure out why
I don’t feel anything, anymore

These days
Every word I try to say
Is cloaked in metaphor
I don’t feel anything, anymore
I don’t
Feel like myself here anymore
I don’t feel anything
No I don’t feel anything, anymore

Lyrics:
I never learned to be alone
I think it’s all you’ve ever known
You always seem to need your space
So I resort to saving face.
And Maybe I could understand
You never tried to share, you wouldn’t dare
To show your hand.
Let me know you’re doing fine
Cos’ I’ve been lying all this time
They say you fake it until you make it
But then you just live out a lie.
Pretend it’s alright, open your eyes
Just breathe in and just breathe out.
Take my hand, we’ll try again
And maybe this time will work out.
And maybe I could understand
I never tried to be a better me
A better man.
Let me know you’re doing fine
Cos’ I’ve been lying all this time
They say you fake it until you make it
But then you just live out a lie.
I hope one day you’ll be alright
Cos’ I can’t bare another night
On my own, let me know,
I’m sick of living out this lie.
We could try to do more than survive
All we do is survive.
Let me know you’re doing fine
Cos’ I’ve been lying all this time
They say you fake it until you make it
But then you just live out a lie.
I hope one day you’ll be alright
Cos’ I can’t bare another night
On my own, let me know,
I’m sick of living out this lie.
Living out this lie.

Lyrics:
so tell me how you've been

so caught up in finding them i swear
no matter how little i wanna be there
do you even wanna be here
well i'm just makin small talk
so tell me how you've been
and she said, yeah she said
Oh!
now you wanna come around when i'm makin moves

i trashed everything we had
and watched it bloom
watched it bloom
watched it bloom
into something new
so tell me where i'm at
cause i don't wanna fall this flat again
i'm slowly sinking in
no sense in sulking in it
cause i feel the pressure of it all
and i know you know this is how it goes
i come around sparsely and you say
Oh!
you only come around when i'm makin moves
you do the same old little shit that you always used to do
i trashed everything we had
and watched it bloom
watched it bloom
watched it bloom
into something new
so tell me how you've been
word is you're suffering
so is this how it ends?
and i don't know what to say
so i'll say it and find out the hard way
it pains me every day
cause im so caught up in
the back and fourth about this
the funny thing about this is
i've given nothing
i've given nothing
and i keep myself held to that change
and hope you find some solace in the same
cause heaven knows
we need the resolve
so tell me how you've been
a few years down the road and i'm still
looking for them
Oh!
you only come around when i'm makin moves
you do the same old little shit that you always used to do
i trashed everything we had
and watched it bloom
watched it bloom
watched it bloom
into something new
so tell me how you've been
word is you're suffering
so is this how it ends?

she wants me dead
better off spending my days stuck in bed
the devils on my back putting thoughts all in my head
he's like where you been oh where you been?
i feel above the pressure
livin' a lie
she left with no conviction
a strain to her eyesight
but so did i
it's no use
it's a moot point
we're both done
looking for a breakthrough
when you speak i shell up
when you speak i can't take
the impact of the motion that swells in your skin
(in your skin)
i feel above the pressure
livin' a lie
she left with no conviction
a strain to her eyesight
but so did i
yea you make me strain my eye
yea you knock me out its no surprise
you've given no way out
it's closing in
it's closing in
a perfect way to strain
i feel above the pressure
livin' a lie
she left with no conviction
a strain to her eyesight
cause i get destructive
when she drags me out to the storm
and i don't know my place
without the constant reassurance

oh i swear, with time
and i'm going through it again
you're wondering why you can't get through to me

don't know where to say it so i'll say it straight to your face
don't know what you're thinking but i'm thinking that you threw it away
so i'll say what comes natural
i'm on the brink of letting go
don't know where to say it so i'll say it straight to your face
it's clear to see you're too naive let it all out
it's your reprieve
you'll make it i swear
oh i swear, this time
this time i'll open up and clear the air
break the silence fight me fair
it's all been said a thousand times
i've heard it in my head
don't know where to say it so i'll say it straight to your face
don't know what you're thinking but i'm thinking that you threw it away
so i'll say what comes natural
i'm on the brink of letting go
don't know where to say it so i'll say it straight to your face
i don't wanna know what you're thinking now
it's out of my hands
even if you kicked the door down
it's out of my hands
i don't know where to say it so i'll say it straight to your face
don't know what you're thinking but i'm thinking that you threw it away
so i'll say what comes natural
i'm on the brink of letting go
don't know where to say it so i'll say it straight to your face

Lyrics:
sittin out back
of the coffee shop at 8 o'clock and i'm
sunburnt
she tried to call last night but i
was out of the office
that's the point where i lost all hope
well she likes chocolate
i hope that solves it
there's always a pushaway away to something new
there's always 2 sides to the storyline
and her laugh sends me out
when she talks i want out
so i run and i run and i run
well she always makes me feel like i'm
someone
she drags me out of the storm
and i wish i could hold on to her
but i can't get out of my head
and i'm just so sick of the small talk
well i can see that you're still standing still
perplexed by the way i presented
and i hate it
oh i weighed it all out and i found in myself
all the things you put onto me
so tonight i'll just think about all of the things that you hate
and i'll try to make you see what i see
so if i try and i fail
can i get another shot
and if i see through the small talk
can i be who you want will we ever know
she makes me feel like i'm
someone
she drags me out of the storm
and i wish i could hold on to her
but i can't get out of my head
and i'm just so sick of the small talk

Lyrics:
what's the point if i don't like this
does it really make me that selfish
just going through the motions trying not to waste my time
it's always one way, one side
you always have it your way, not mine
i wonder if i'll find my place when im stuck between the lines
if you wanna bog me down
that's fine cause i really don't mind the pressure
won't let it get to my head
seems everybody thinks i'm better off dead
imagine never knowing
don't compromise your state of mind
and disregard the distance
you've got fingers like daggers
and it brings out the devil in me
but that's what you want
and what you came to see
i want you out of my head
cause your backbite is the last thing that i need
if you wanna bog me down
that's fine cause i really don't mind the pressure
won't let it get to my head
seems everybody thinks i'm better off dead
imagine never knowing
don't compromise your state of mind
and disregard the distance
get me out of my skin
quit talking like we're old friends
everyone wants me dead
but oh well, don't matter
so i see that nobody's around me now
i feel free
when biting your tounge won't save you
and nobody cares what you do
if you wanna bog me down
that's fine cause i really don't mind the pressure
won't let it get to my head
seems everybody thinks i'm better off dead
imagine never knowing
that nobodys around me now
when biting your tounge won't save you
and nobody cares what you do

you make me feel like i'm a kid again
the neighbors screaming that the radio's too loud
i think about it every now and then
jump in the car
cause there's no way i'll turn this down
like circa '99
there's only so much that i can say
it's not the same as it used to be
the nostalgia keeps on eating me away
i get the feeling that i'm digging my own grave
it's gone on long enough
i'm reading scripts right off the teleprompter
but they're falling flat
i don't think i'll ever get a hold
need to get back on track
you'll tell me how it goes
it's a little too late to let it go
all the late nights sit back i'll tell you how it goes downhill
circa '99
yea circa '99
but lately i'm a drag
i sent an email with my counselor attached
she said "do not respond back"
sucks to say that i'm this bent
and the anxiety's still killing me
they said it's all in my head
of course it's all in my head
i've heard that
i don't think i'll ever get a hold
need to get back on track
you'll tell me how it goes
it's a little too late to let it go
all the late nights sit back i'll tell you how it goes downhill
circa '99
tell me what's next
i'd live it again
tell me what's next
i'd live it again
it's all in my head
but you make me feel like a kid again
and i like that about you
i'd do it again
the same way 99 times
so if i lived it again
i'd change nothing

Lyrics:
I'll bite the curb again
where everything goes for you
clear the air
I wont settle for less I won't beg you to stay awake
so hear me out
I know your problems aren't as bad as they seem to be
try to find some peace of mind
to rid myself of the cast I'm living in
you don't know the half
you're so hyperfocused waking up the past
living in a daydream
playing a pawn is all you are in this game
I don't wanna sit around and brush it off
I don't wanna justify if i'm enough
would it even change anything?
even if I played the part and tried this hard it turns out the same
I'm always a pawn for you
moving around the board
in whatever way you choose
try to find some peace of mind
to rid myself of the cast i'm living in
you don't know the half
you're so hyperfocused waking up the past
living in a daydream
playing a pawn is all you are in this game
I can feel the weight in the air
I like to stop and stare on the way down
I can see the way this ends
but I don't know the way out

try to find some peace of mind
to rid myself of the cast i'm living in
you don't even know
the half of it so stick around and play your part as a pawn in this
mess

Lyrics:
cracks and calluses can’t be faked
learn the lines and where they break
now the pressure tells the story
in the tension and the shake
to what am i holding now
what’s left to fall back on
when i need it i’ll wish that i wrote it down
to remind me where things went wrong

maybe it’s not so simple
maybe there’s more beyond the frame
when will i learn to forget
how will i find my way

out of luck and room to run
search my memories for some symmetry
fell in love but lost control
rendered useless by a failure in design
blood and blisters from past mistakes
leave reminders of getting in the way

what i’ve burned and the process
means what i’ve built and the progress
show me how to dismantle everything
that stands between this silence
and new frequencies.

could it be that everything fades away
before you get the chance to count it
(it all seems pointless either way)

i got this
for every time i feel alone i know
i got this
i hear your voice in all my favorite chords
i got this
sing it louder than the voice in my head

reflecting back but then I don’t want to know if my slight in judgment will fit in.
to beat the kids at their own game
telling it like it is
think back but then I don't want to know
if my slight in judgment will fit in
these mits can’t pick up the pieces and come to grips no, missed the run and cost the team the game up all night up all night, I'm screaming
breaking down in the valley late at night
hope we can come to grips this time
missed the run and cost the team the game these mits can’t pick up the pieces
yeah, pick up the pieces

as we listen to records at night as we drifted to sleep but our dreams were so big
years later I can’t call you I don't know you anymore I just hope your listening
I think about those days, I hope that you do too I wish I could get in touch with you
I’ve been running in circles
trying to figure out what happened to you I’ve been losing sleep
and nothing’s working so I’ll sing this song I think about those days, i miss that fuckin smile I’ve got to get in touch with you
but I fear I never will
I’ve been running in circles
trying to figure out what happened to you
and nothing’s working so I’ll sing this song
nothing is working
in case I don't see you
hope you hear this song.
I think about those days, I hope we meet again I’m still running in circles

I’ve got something inside
I got nothing to hide
somethings rooting against me
it's my head
when you just want to cry but you don’t feel empathy fucking death to me
lights out, spotlights on you
the peanut gallery’s in tune
oh he had everything she had everything What could go wrong?
I got something to hide
I got nothing inside
something’s rooting against me
it's my head
when you don't feel alive too numb to feel sympathy fucking death to me
with nowhere else to look
I guess I’ll turn to stone fatal car crash
skyline is red or is it grey?
I can never tell this fucking late.
I got something inside
I got nothing to hide
somethings rooting against me
it's my head
when you just want to cry but you don’t feel empathy fucking death to me
I’d rather be a victim than an imposter
how could it be you’re the one
that’s wishing death to me
all your problems won’t disappear

I opened up my heart to
the thought that I could lose you
I’d hide inside and hope to die tonight
but I know that’s just not right
I was sitting on the outside
thinking about the inside looking back
it was so cold that night under the stars where we tried to see clear through those Friday night lights and I’ll never forget
that was the first night
I saw that look in your eyes
the one that scares me to sleep at night I was sitting on the outside
thinking about the inside looking back
I was sitting on the outside
thinking about the inside lock me out
there’s nothing to lose
but everything we’ve worked so hard for there's nothing, been so long
there’s nothing to prove but everything
we’ve worked so hard for
as I sit around in silence
not thinking about the violence
I know that it is out there
but I don’t know how to get out
I was sitting on the outside
thinking about the inside looking back
I was sitting on the outside
thinking about the inside lock me out
there’s nothing to prove
getting out is what you have to do

tangled in your hair again

“the overlook”
I still have to read those books
the past is the past
and I get it
hey Maxine
are you listening?
do you think there’s something missing?
skipped some steps along the way
dragged the rug out from under me
and I think that I know what you mean
fell before won’t do it again
but holy f does this ever sting
snaps of you still on the fridge
face pad, medicine cabinet
has it gotten this bad?
of course it has
a Levette drive, a Whytecliffe run
moving spots to chase the sun
it’s gotten this bad
and I let it
hey Maxine
are you listening?
do you think there’s something missing?
skipped some steps along the way
dragged the rug out from under me
I stopped eating I stopped sleeping
started drinking and I’ve been thinking
ripped me to pieces
but you came out whole
walking uphill on broken legs
can’t see the mountains straight through the trees
lights and sirens hope everyone’s okay
hope you’re okay
hey Maxine
are you listening?
do you think there’s something missing?
skipped some steps along the way
dragged the rug out from under me
I stopped eating I stopped sleeping
started drinking and I’ve been thinking
ripped me to pieces
but you came out whole

Lyrics:
My back against the wall, I’m searching for your voice
Not a memory in sight laid around your empty room
These days alone inside this house, inside my head
Are you watching me, do you know my path?
Because I could have sworn you left me in another life.

Without breaking stride, without breaking heart
Retrace my steps to take me back to the start
Because I want to know what changed my course.

And I still remember the look in your eyes with just ounces of life left:
The look of peaceful fear.
With your family at side you move on from this life caped in love, peace and tranquillity
But we all know this is not your time.
Well we all thought it was not your time.

And as time rips soul five years have told
And I still believe silence shines over me
And I’m yet to break free.
Now your body lays cold like the stories of old,
But you’re free from life’s choke, hands removed from your throat,
Your ship sank right down in plain sight of dry land,
But you rest in peace.

I still rescue you inside my dreams
With my soul full of hurt but my fist laced in lead.
Just a harmless twist on reality
But I can’t lift this veil of pain and woe.
No I can’t let this be, the injustice in everything
The oppression of cancer that kills the loved and haunts the free.

We suffer, we stand here in silence,
A mother lost her fight to live.
And I want you to know I’ll break free,
And I want you to know I’ve found peace.

Lyrics:
I remember 2012 like an old familiar morning
Kick it by the lake with nothing planned.
It was easier back then, unaware of what was dawning
I didn’t know the ‘good’ came with bad.

Do you ever think of what we had?
At the time I thought it’s such a drag.

In winter I feel the continental drift
It’s been years in making
But recently I’ve noticed it.
I’m bitter about my latest mental shift
I want a second chance with ignorance
And live in bliss.
How did it come to this? How did it come to.

You’re never warned of what’s in store
But I thought I’d be prepared for
What the world was gonna throw at me.
Make it through the day despite the growing lethargy
Looking for a way to free my mind from decay.

All that I thought came to nothing.
Over and over I let myself slip away.
Is this temporary?
Then I guess that I’m to blame.

In winter I feel the continental drift
It’s been years in making
But recently I’ve noticed it.
I’m bitter about my latest mental shift
I want a second chance with ignorance
And live in bliss.
Consider this a detrimental fit
‘Cos I’m not able to comprehend the logistics.
So bitter about this latest mental shift
I want a second chance with ignorance
And live in bliss.

Oh how did it come to this?
All these years I’ve been falling adrift
Changing but failing to notice it
Can somebody show me a way to live?

Oh how did it come to this?
All these years I’ve been falling adrift
Changing but failing to notice it
Can somebody show me a way to live?
Is this it?
Am I nothing more than this?
I think I’ve got more to give
Can somebody show me a way to live?

Oh how did it come to this?

Wish you would stop distancing
For once, just be near.
Walk these city streets
To rupture these boundaries
It’s more than just therapy to me, it heals.

Wish you would say
‘Cos I don’t know why you feel this way.

Why the fuck are we
Running in circles to find an escape
Locked in these boundaries just wasting away.
When the fuck will we learn to live again?

Let my guard fall down
Got lost in a different town
Stuck in between the lines
It never gets better, it never subsides.

Wish you would say
‘Cos I don’t know why you feel this way.

Why the fuck are we
Running in circles to find an escape
Locked in these boundaries just wasting away.
When the fuck will we learn to live again?

Can you hear me?
Silence is growing but nobody’s noticed a thing.
Rupture these boundaries
It’s more than just therapy to me, to me.

Why the fuck are we
Running in circles to find an escape
Locked in these boundaries just wasting away.
When the fuck will we learn to live again?

Lyrics:
I’m leaving now.
I’ve spent far too long trying to calm you down.
All those times I wasted driving to your town,
When I knew that you knew that we were already trapped six feet underground.
You let the water in and now all my strength is spent trying not to drown.
But it’s harder now
‘Cos I’m all worn out.

I bet it doesn’t even matter if I run out of here
You probably won’t notice when I’m gone.
You told me you’ve been getting sadder, well I’ve been getting madder
I bet you knew it all along.

In ten year’s time when I look back on my twenties
Will time be good to me or will I feel empty?
‘Cos lately I’ve been thinking with you I wasted
What should have been my best years.
What should have been my best years.
They should have been my best years.
Spent too much of my time with you.

I bet it doesn’t even matter if I run out of here
You probably won’t notice when I’m gone.
You told me you’ve been getting sadder, well I’ve been getting madder
I bet you knew it all along.
All along.

We’re always looking for something
To justify our existence.
So is this life good for nothing?
Or do I just lack the substance?
I always thought that I’d do something
Something good by now.
But all the things I wanted
Wash away as I drown.

My best shot was always good for nothing.

So many days I wasted locked up on my own just staring at my phone.
I wish that I had known.
But now I’ve realised I’m just a kid
Gotta get a grip and then get over it.

I’ve been trying to figure you out.
All the lying and all of the doubt.

But guess what I gave it all that I got
You never wanted what I was offering

The season’s coming to an end
So I’ll stop trying to pretend
That everything’s ok when clearly
You’ll break before you bend.
It’s been months like this
And I’ve got so god damn sick of it
So I’m asking why do we do this?
Why do we do this?

Your love is a cherry blossom
Only comes round once a year
For a couple weeks then it disappears
And all this time I’ve been waiting round for your colours
All this time I’ve been waiting for your colours
Your love is a cherry blossom.

I think we should take some time
You take yours and I’ll take mine.
‘Cos it’s been too long
Since I’ve had some peace of mind.
Sometimes I fell astray but you never noticed anyway
No you never seem to look my way.

Was it me, did I do wrong?
Or did you string me along?
Why’d it take for me to write this song
To realise this wasn’t right,
To try to talk but always fight,
To barely sleep at night.

Your love is a cherry blossom
Only comes round once a year
For a couple weeks then it disappears
And all this time I’ve been waiting round for your colours
All this time I’ve been waiting for your colours
Your love is a cherry blossom.

I’m burning out and it’s only gotten harder
So I’m moving on.

Your love is a cherry blossom
Only comes round once a year
For a couple weeks then it disappears
And all this time I’ve been waiting round for your colours
All this time I’ve been waiting for your colours
Your love is a cherry blossom.

Wondering what I said to make you sore.

The light in your room is all I can see now.
Trying to look through silhouettes on the ceiling
The words on your skin did they lose their meaning?
I bet you never saw this coming.

Today is the first day of October
I burned the coffee so I think I’ll start it over.
Tonight is the first time in a while that I’ve been trying.
Yeah, I’ve been trying.

The light in your room is all I can see now.
Trying to look through silhouettes on the ceiling
The words on your skin did they lose their meaning?
I bet you never saw this coming.

Cuz I’ve been running and you’ve been lost.
So pack your bags and move your sorry ass.
Get your shit out of my car and don’t come back.
No don’t come back.

The light in your room is all I can see now,
The light in your room, the light in your room.

i could swear this time is different and
pretend like nothing happened but
i know how bad it feels when i’m alone
it’s a contradiction of the things i’ll say vs. what i’ll do
that leave me tangled in a mess
of what i’ve lost and i’ve got left

i just wanna finish what i started
let myself feel fine long enough not to give up on the line…

i’ve been going nowhere
treading water just to keep myself alive
i’ve reconciled the pain
reassigned the blame ‘till its all the same

it gets harder to make sense of things
when the brightest light starts going dim

the world just feels so cold
you can’t find your way back home

i’ve misplaced, broke, or sold everything i’ve ever owned

a faded light remains aglow
in the darkest times to lead you home

cracks and calluses can’t be faked
learn the lines and where they break
now the pressure tells the story
in the tension and the shake
to what am i holding now
what’s left to fall back on
when i need it i’ll wish that i wrote it down
to remind me where things went wrong

maybe it’s not so simple
maybe there’s more beyond the frame
when will i learn to forget
how will i find my way

out of luck and room to run
search my memories for some symmetry
fell in love but lost control
rendered useless by a failure in design
blood and blisters from past mistakes
leave reminders of getting in the way

what i’ve burned and the process
means what i’ve built and the progress
show me how to dismantle everything
thats stands between this silence
and new frequencies.

could it be that everything fades away
before you get the chance to count it
(it all seems pointless either way)

i got this
for every time i feel alone i know
i got this
i hear your voice in all my favorite chords
i got this
sing it louder than the voice in my head

felt like a lost cause
until i let it out
to respect the process
and what it takes to be sincere
it’s a shame
things have to be this way
better late than never

waiting for a chance to
make the same excuses
over and over again
it’s not alright
it won’t be fine
won’t let you cut me off

nothing’s getting better
things are worse than ever
shame it had to come to this
sad day for the optimist
i won’t play the victim

grow until they fall apart
if we don’t find the center
we can’t keep this together
everything we’ve built will break
crumble till it falls away

Lyrics:
Break my body, fuck with my head
Give me something I won’t forget
I feel like half the year I’m dead
I’m barely hanging by a thread.
All the months just pass right by me
My will to live is death-defying
Never one to pass it up
Enough is enough.

I see my walls fall down around me, I’m running on empty
The years are finally catching up to me.

I’m holding out for better days
But at night I lay awake
Forever stuck in my old ways
I fade away.
I wish that I could feel something
So I tear me limb from limb
I think that my worst enemy
Has got it out for me.

I hate that I’ve been broke since seventeen
Too much time spent chasing dreams
All my friends got what they need
But I’m barely scraping.
Maybe one day I’ll break free
Escape the grip of poverty
But what I’ve come to learn is
Never bet on it.

I see my walls fall down around me. I’m empty.

I’m holding out for better days
But at night I lay awake
Forever stuck in my old ways
I fade away.
I wish that I could feel something
So I tear me limb from limb
I think that my worst enemy
Has got it out for.

Out for me. It’s there for all to see.

I think that I kind of like self-destruction
But I’m tired of the mess I’ve made.
I think it’s time cuz I’m unable to function
My own worst enemy.

I’m holding out for better days
But at night I lay awake
Forever stuck in my old ways
I fade away.
I wish that I could feel something
So I tear me limb from limb
I think that my worst enemy
Has got it out for me.

Lyrics:
cleaning up this mess
nearly scared myself to death
now i’m getting better
started making excuses less
tried to focus on my breath
now i’m getting better
there’s a lesson to be learned
somewhere along the way
i just haven’t found it yet
but i’m still searching

frayed edges unattended
on the bridge to better days
now we’re hanging by a thread
unanswered echos // assumed allegiance

hail mary's in the moonlight

took the best in show till the truth came out
you frame the metrics in your favor now
the game drags on ‘till your time runs out
you’ll still be catching up
when your time runs out

so what’s the difference
between a near miss and if i don’t try at all
will i still be singing...

hail mary's in the moonlight

Lyrics:
twenty-some years bouncing off the walls
never slowed down almost expected to fall
young lust // dumb love
burning out so bright
long nights // dead hearts
running out of time

moved too fast to feel the needle (or the damage done)

it’s the silence that feels so familiar
the sting of the salt in the wound
a step t0o close to the ledge
the calm before it all comes crashing in

none of this means anything
it's all fun ‘till its not
things look worse in the daylight.
broke a promise // saved a sinner
what’s the point
sunk a vessel // sold a story
to a starless sky with no hope in sight

fake a smile through crumbling teeth
never letting on just what’s underneath
it's a pain you’ll never get
a broken bone that wouldn’t set

we stand too close to the fault line
ignore the sound when the ground breaks
watched it swallow you whole
into the unknown now the guilt is what remains

Lyrics:
Another day in this broken state
I’m getting sick of picking up everything that you break.
Three whole years, never once did you think there isn’t progress that we couldn’t make.
But I did. Yea I’ve been giving everything I had to give.
And now I’m starting to get tired of pulling all the wires.
Pulling all the wires.
This situation’s getting dire.

I’m moving on but I don’t know what I’m running from.
How did we get here?
It’s never been so clear.
But I’m trying not to disappear.

Now I’m mad almost everyday
The stress always building inside my brain
Can somebody say if I’m going insane?
‘Cos it feels like I’m running in circles again.

All the things I should’ve said.

I’m moving on but I don’t know what I’m running from.
How did we get here?
It’s never been so clear.
But I’m trying not to disappear.
Now I’m starting over
I haven’t looked back since mid November
So I’m moving on but I don’t know what I’m running from.

I think I need a reset
Spent far too long getting caught up in your web.
If only we could forget, if only we could forget.

I’m moving on but I don’t know what I’m running from.
How did we get here?
It’s never been so clear.
But I’m trying not to disappear.

Chief State - Metaphors (Official Lyric Video)

Mutant League Records 2021-11-11 | "Metaphors" by Chief State
Vinyl/CD/Merch: mutantleaguerecords.com
Stream/download: orcd.co/metaphors

Lyrics:
Her words still ringing in my head
“I wish you’d stop wishing you were dead
get it together, we gotta stick together
you know I’d do whatever to help make you feel better.”
I just can’t quite figure out what’s wrong
There’s no place I feel like I belong
I don’t feel anything, anymore.

Heavy chains shackle me to my bed,
I can’t get up.
I can see another breakdown coming
So sick and tired so I’ll just do nothing at all
Complacency sets in, I’ve heard it all before
I’m sick of wasting my time
Looking through photos online.

These days
Every word I try to say
Is cloaked in metaphor
I don’t feel anything, anymore.

It’s been weeks since I’ve accomplished anything
You’re the only thing I look forward to
I know that that’s not fair to you
I lock myself away in my room
I can’t move, I’m starving, exhausted,
Facetious, so stagnant.

These days
Every word I try to say
Is cloaked in metaphor
I don’t feel anything, anymore.
I don’t
Feel like myself here anymore
I don’t feel anything
No I don’t feel anything, anymore.

I just can’t blame this on the season
There’s a reason
That I don’t care about anything
I forgot to thank you for listening.
I’m paralyzed and I can’t figure out why
I don’t feel anything, anymore.

These days
Every word I try to say
Is cloaked in metaphor
I don’t feel anything, anymore.
I don’t
Feel like myself here anymore
I don’t feel anything
No I don’t feel anything, anymore.

Settle Your Scores - Streets Ahead (If You Have to Ask, You’re Streets Behind)

Mutant League Records 2021-08-20 | "Streets Ahead" by Settle Your Scores
Vinyl/CD/Merch: mutantleaguerecords.com
Stream/download: orcd.co/r2l4kmo

Lyrics:
I’ve never been the cool kid
Guess life just never went as planned
I should’ve been chasing girls and chasing highs
But instead I joined the band
And while I learned a lot of notes and scales
That just don’t equate to record sales
Guess I should’ve followed more trends
(Or made famous friends)
Instead of wasting time with a guitar and a pen

No wonder no one will ever know my name
Just once I just want something to change

No, I just can’t let this go
But the voice in my head says
“Listen up, just give up and go home kid
Pack it up cause you’re never gonna make it”
No, I’ve never felt this low
But the knot in my chest says
“Listen up, just give up and go home kid
Pack it up cause you’re never gonna make it”

I never aimed to strike it rich
I know six strings won’t make my wallet thick
I just hoped if I wrote ‘til my fingers, they broke
I’d stick out from the crowd, maybe feed one mouth
Thought I’d bide my time and just bite my tongue
Try to cut my teeth while they flap their gums
But I guess I overslept through my fifteen minutes of fame
The last fifteen years flushed down the drain

This scene it seems more like a herd
I’ll never fit your inner circle
Guess my edges are too rough
Or maybe I’m not good enough
So follow suit and tie your tongue
Cause all of the best dreams die so young
I gave my blood, my sweat, my tears
Yet all I ever hear is no

I just can’t let this go
But my gut still screams

“You’re never, ever, ever gonna make it”

Settle Your Scores - QWERTY

Mutant League Records 2021-08-20 | "QWERTY" by Settle Your Scores
Vinyl/CD/Merch: mutantleaguerecords.com
Stream/download: orcd.co/r2l4kmo

Lyrics:
It’s the new age but it’s getting old
We found a new way to try to fit the mold
In a world full of followers I’ve never felt hollower
We’re wasting our time
Laying our lives on the line

So put your hands in the air
(We know you won’t)
Cause your face and your fingers are glued to your phone

Can we cut the cord?
Bite the hand that feeds?
Cause I’ve grown so bored of this tangled web we’ve weaved
Maybe I’m jaded but I kinda hate it
The way we’re behaving’s decaying
So sing it if you’re with me

Can we break free and escape this net?
We’re close as three feet and yet we can’t connect
(Just shoot me a text)

So put your hands in the air
(We know you won’t)
Cause you’re too busy thinking of what you should post

The way we’re behaving’s decaying and I feel out of place
Like I’m lost in cyberspace
Please take me home
A page without a face
Bookmark it so friends that I don’t recognize
Can watch me drift along alone

So put your hands in the air
Is anybody out there?

Can we cut the cord?
Could we up and leave?
Is there just no cure for our apathy?
Guess I’m jaded cause I fucking hate it
The way we’re behaving’s decaying
So sing it if you’re with me
