Something 02:28
My ears are ringing like they have been Like they always will With white surrounding gold A ghost swallowing me whole till my vision’s dark I dream in red and black and blue And it’s all that I can do I hear my family talking ‘bout me saying things I can’t repeat I am very much alive No thanks to anyone It’s dark in the winter in the middle of December And yesterday I saw some rainfall but it’s nowhere to be found When I get used to inconsistency The sky won’t open up for me I am very much alive (Won’t you come a little closer) No thanks to anyone And at least you feel all right (Come on boost my paranoia) No thanks to anyone I see a break of sun (No one here is gonna stop you) But hear comes the rain (I still feel something crawling all over my feet)

Roots 03:19
Hear and believe It’s better if you don’t speak or think Counting the seeds falling on me I can feel the logs under my feet I’m seeing green Missing meals Feeling everything It’s kind of like I don’t live inside Somewhere I can confide No fault of my design And I wanna know If you’ve been to Where I’ve been to before And I don’t know If I can hold This living thing inside my mind because it grows and grows

Do what you want It’s forever on your tail Into a dark cavern without real Understanding of the words that you say Sever its arms and leave it for the whales When the world falls asleep it may as well be decimated I can’t see and I can’t sleep oh Seven years of tired waiting Descending deep Where there’s no more sound I’m sound asleep forgetting how I fell Open my eyes The world is oh so pale The sunlight reaches every single tale When the world falls asleep it may as well be decimated I can’t see and I can’t sleep oh Seven years of tired waiting When the world is at your feet you’re stuck inside, you’re too elated I can’t see, I can’t believe in anything that’s overrated

Stars 04:50
Pack me Hold me down Wrap me Cut me out I can’t feel my head My body’s going out tonight One too many, out of sight You know good and well I’m right You and I are gonna fly You’re drowning in the sea tonight Drifting with the stars and you in sight We will die but it’s all right The universe has us aligned One too many, out of sight You know good and well I’m right You and I are gonna fly You’re drowning in the sea tonight Drifting with the stars and you in sight We will die but it’s all right The universe has us aligned

Sat in the wake of lost control Motion to stay while I lose my mind Whenever the time’s right I suppose A coming of age when I change my mind But this place I’m in, yea its walls are thin and it’s getting late I can almost hear the ground and the growling The ground and the growling I can’t be satisfied I can’t be here all night You tell me your fears, I tell you what you wanna hear Maybe I’ll say it in a year Pulling me in while I can go He doesn’t like it and it hurts to know Make my way in and lock the door Thin consolation beating through the floor I don’t think anybody goes round here I don’t think anybody goes round here The ground and the growling The ground and the growling I can’t be satisfied I can’t be here all night And if you wanna know I’ll tell you the things you wanna hear I hope it’s sooner than a year I don’t think anybody goes round here I don’t think anybody goes round here

Settle down Everyone sees Yea you’re in your cage Unfortunately And the head’s screwed off but somehow still reads Oh your fear’s bright and it pains me to see If I had known you better This wouldn’t be so hard Yea you play it off with your nervous bottle you know so well He knows I know but he’ll never tell What’s the rush? What’s the rush? Take it easy now Easy now
