Exactly the Same
03:12

You're always runnin' away from your problems
With shoes or a bottle
And I'm strugglin' to keep
Our hands together
But it gets harder every week
Flyin' through space
And it's a shame
You're stayin'
Exactly the same
There's so much more to consider
All the good that surrounds us
But we continue to be
Preoccupied
By all the noise behind our eyes
Flyin' through space
And it's a shame
You're stayin'
Exactly the same
Flyin' through space
And it's a shame
You're stayin'
Exactly the same
Take one page after another
And try to love our brother

Only Human

I forgot your name again
Will you remind me what it was
I'm sure we shared some space together
With some friends
At a party once
For a brief rotation
I put my foot in my mouth again
Just to gain your trust
I only wanted to be honest with myself
And not pretend
I knew exactly what it was
I don't think I'd mind if you
Asked me the same
I'm only human
I'm only human
I said this is the first time that we've met
But I know we've met before
I just thought you would not remember me
And I didn't want you to feel awkward
I don't think I'd mind if you
Acted the same can we
Leave this behind and
Forget the blame
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human

Life Inside
02:17
|

I had no idea what it'd be like
Livin' life inside
Starin' out a window I see light
And the glare hurts my eyes
In my favorite room
I find you
Tryin' to get some rest
Before your busy day
You walked out
The front door and left a mess
Where are you goin'
Where are you goin'
I was only tryin' to escape the rain
The storm inside my brain
But stayin' here forever is just fine
I'm not just biding time
In my favorite room
I find you
Tryin' to get some rest
Before your busy day
You walked out
The front door and left a mess
Where are you goin'
Where are you goin'
Where are you goin'
Where are you goin'

Quitting Cigarettes
03:38
|
|||
I saw the look on your face
When you described to me the day
That your own brother sailed away
To leave you docked at the bay
Contemplating your own death
It's just like quitting cigarettes
You do it every Friday night
With your last beer on your breath
You tried to take what's your's
A mountain house with a screened in porch
But you couldn't grasp it from the shore
There's no skippin' rocks anymore
Contemplating your own death
It's just like quitting cigarettes
You do it every Friday night
With your last beer on your breath
It's just like quitting cigarettes
It's just like quitting cigarettes
You turn your back and you forget
That you never quite accepted it

More Options
04:19

I'm conflicted
The weather inside my head echoes your voices in it
What are we supposed to say
To all our friends
When we see them
I trusted you for so long without a doubt
I only realized after I went without
There's so many more options
To think about
To figure out
You were the hope that held me back
You were the body that I believed I passed
(I believe I'll pass)
You were the teacher that made me clean
Until the light interrupted my sleep
(And I can't go back to sleep)
When the storm calmed
The water was still enough for me to see right through it
A perfect sheet of glass
At long last
At long last
You were the hope that held me back
You were the body that I believed I passed
(I believe I'll pass)
You were the teacher that made me clean
Until the light interrupted my sleep
(And I can't go back to sleep)
I'm not sure if you ever existed
But sometimes I wonder
If there was some crucial detail
Well I guess I missed it
I guess I missed it
(You were the hope that held me back)
I guess I missed it
(You were the body that I passed)
I guess I missed it
(You were the teacher that made me clean)
I guess I missed it
And I can't go back to sleep

So Easy
03:53
|

Overthinking every aspect
Of what I do for fun
Until I feel like I am stuck and far away
From everyone
But isn't it so easy for you
Isn't it so easy
Lookin' for some inspiration
That I can't find outside today
It doesn't mean it's harder for you just cause
Things aren't goin' your way
But isn't it so easy for you
Oh don't give up so easy
Don't give up so easy
Don't give up so easy
Don't give up so easy
Don't give up so easy
Ooo
Ooo
It's so easy

Creases
04:19

Oh my humanity
I hate what you do to me
And my masculinity
Is gonna get the best of me
The best of me
My anxiety
Is gonna put me in therapy
I'll cry out for sanity
But it won't stay here next to me
Next to me
I could fall through the creases
Convince myself that I am chokin'
But if we can still pick up the pieces
Then I guess there's more to us than what is broken
Oh my identity
Are you even listening
To just how badly
I wanna change most everything
I could fall through the creases
Convince myself that I am chokin'
But if we can still pick up the pieces
Then I guess there's more to us than what is broken
There's more to us than what is broken

You always take the biggest bites
But you couldn't hold your own in a fight
If you tried
I always hear about the tirades
Throwin' tantrums makes it easy to get your way
Well you got it
Do you expect me to take your side
It doesn't do much to help your nice guy disguise
When you lie
Would you do the same for me
Or is this all just a bitter memory
We're holdin' on to
You're circling now
It's a matter of time
'Til you can't go any lower
You need me around
But I won't come back
You never were my brother
You're circling now
It's a matter of time
'Til you can't go any lower
You need me around
But I won't come back
You never were my brother

Roof
04:18

I'm dead to the world
You can hear me breathin'
But I can't say a word
The sun in your eyes
Helps me speak out loud
It'll keep me alive
When there's no shelter for you there
There's still a roof above your head
The ice in the sky
Looks like another winter
With no ending in sight
Soft red and blue gray
Curled up under my arm
Melts the winter away
When there's no shelter for you there
There's still a roof above your head
When there's no shelter for you there
There's still that roof above your head
Above your head
There's that roof
Above your head

My Parents' Bed

I wish I could
Sleep inside
My parents' bed
I'd feel so
Much better then
Knowing they're beside me
I remember when my mother
Would bring me something to eat
Chicken noodle soup
My favorite gatorade
Go to blockbuster
Rent a nintendo game
