Felt things change for just one day But now it's back to the same old ways Failure is an ocean instead of a floor The bed is a raft floating away from the door Swallow salt just to taste something Heart can't push blood that's thickening Some say it's suffocating Say that I'm not living Paranoia comes knocking She's my only friend Paranoia is here again She's my only friend I let my guard down to meet someone new Said she was disappointed Said I fucking knew Sometimes it's suffocating I don't feel like I'm living Paranoia's always lingering She's my only friend. Paranoia comes knocking She's my only friend Paranoia is here again She's my only friend

Fed Up 01:48
Keep the lights off in the middle of the afternoon Blue string lights are plugged in in my room Blinds are shut, rain crashes against the house It's a light so soft It's life sneaking into the cold It's the concave of a shiver And I'm so fed up If I open all the windows It would be fine if it spilled in I'll plug everything in It's the pique that stabs the hardwood It's the gravity gripping the shadow It's the plaque of the artery walls And I'm so fed up Laying on the floor Body, become cement Gravity, don't let me down Cause I'm so fed up And I'm so fed up with hope
3.
Slow Down 01:49
Bent backwards Followed the part of the hair Bangs brushed the surface Back broke in two Sinking, sinking And the ocean pulled And the ocean pulled And the ocean pulled The body into the earth Sand pouring into lungs And the ocean pulled Dripping Dripping Dripping Like an hourglass Pulling Pulling Pulling Like quicksand Gasping, calling for help And suddenly you don’t know nothing

Hey Mercy 01:47
Do I give up my fingerprints in spite trying to wash my hands of you? You'd be happy if they were scraped raw. Can't put myself together at all. Every day is a struggle trying to unlearn the traits you've embedded. And you'd prefer it best if you could chalk up my identity to Jealousy. But you begged god for Mercy, just to find that she is me. You'll be calling me an artist by the way I draw blood.

Sometimes it looks like help Other times it looks like a way out I can’t figure it out If it’s the little things that set me off Or if I’m just not numb enough Temptation; I’m tempted Hardened to stone At least it’s the company I need Comforting me to sleep Shutting the curtains And weighing the eyelids Its black and its quiet Covers up like a blanket Too heavy to push off Too engulfed to get up Resistance and will Embrace the subtle thrill The uncertainty of never waking up I’ve just been trying to quit Whatever that means Hurt is a commodity
6.
Ghost 03:33
I've been feeling like a ghost in your house and in mine Condensation, fogging vision, just to melt away It makes me wonder if I've passed away or been invisible this whole time I've been feeling like a ghost in your house and in mine It makes me wonder if I've passed away or been invisible this whole time If you can't see now, then you never did, and you'll never see me again
7.
One certain hand Pushing my back forward One confident hand Pushing my chest back With every deep breath, So little oxygen takes Woke up without sleeping Sighed without holding my I think… Woke up without sleeping Sighed without holding my Woke up without sleeping Sighed without holding my Woke up without sleeping Sighed without holding my Woke up without sleeping Sighed without holding my I think At least I think Porcelain, wet, and concrete One certain hand Pushing my back forward One confident hand Pushing my chest back One certain hand Pushing my back forward Woke up without sleeping Sighed without holding my

Can't Relate 01:15
You got problems and take your time to solve them But I can’t be that Everyone’s moved on but I can’t catch up I can’t be that I don’t know what’s after this life If there’s anything at all And if there’s anything at all I don’t know where I’m gunna go But I know Everyone goes through shit and gets over it But I can’t be that Everyone always says to just snap out of it But that doesn't apply to me I wish I was more resilient Wish I didn’t harp on it But I can’t help it I can’t take care of this mind That won’t take care of me
9.
Wandering farther out and away Tracing the edge of the bay Realizing as the mountains line the way Following taillights to motels with strays Never feel richer than to find That the most consistent part of this life Is that the sun will always rise And there’s stars in the night Time will beg for you Time will beg for you Time will beg for you Time will beg for you
10.
You were planted there Firm and affirmative Hardly noticed the shadow That only moved around you Dancing / Aging Dancing with the aging of the sun Neither budging Neither crumbling No more cracks near our eyes from smiling You rejected the light You rejected the water I thought I had to shrink with you I thought I had to die with you I thought I had to shrink with you I thought I had to die with you
