Song lyrics:
[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)
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 just what I like who I want to be

Song lyrics:
[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
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
So many things we choose to ignore
So many things we choose to ignore

Song lyrics:
[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)
I don't wanna fly been looking for a mission
But I been losing ground falling into submission
And I don't wanna die not with all this missing
So I'mma get it right know that it's a given
I don't wanna fly been looking for a mission
But I been losing ground falling into submission
And I don't wanna die not with all this missing
So I'mma get it right know that it's a given

Song lyrics:
[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
[Chorus x 2]

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)
And I'll lie in bed and look up at you

Song lyrics:
[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 jaded

Song lyrics:
[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)
[Chorus]

Song lyrics:
[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

Song lyrics:
[Chorus]
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
(Repeats x4)
[Chorus x2]
Don't Be Afraid

Song lyrics:
[Verse]
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
[Chorus x2]
On the darkest night of all
[Chorus x2]
On the darkest night of all
