Future Self 05:19

It's a formidable shift to a new destination Taking shape before I see the change A scatter plot of indiscernible visions I seek to know but I can't see the way And how I wish I could say I was feeling unafraid But I can't see my life without you And there's a person in me who's trying to be seen So I'll try and stand my ground Cause I can't Let go without control This rope just holds me down And I can't break free From this version of me When this rope, it holds me down An indescribable lift out of what feels familiar Can't hold on to things that keep me safe But on this road I'm moving to something bigger I'm breaking open and I see the way And how I wish I could say I was feeling unafraid When I start to see my life without you But there's a person in me who's trying to be seen So I'm gonna stand my ground Cause I can't Let go Without control This rope just holds me down And I can't Break free From this version of me When this rope, it holds me down I'm in forward motion It hurts to leave this behind And I didn't notice The tether came untied I'm in forward motion And I cant apologize I can only thank my future self I'll let go I'll let go I'll let go Cause I can't Let go Without control This rope just holds me down And I can't Break free From this version of me When this rope, it holds me down Don't hold me down Don't hold me down I'm in forward motion And I didn't notice I'm in forward motion I'm in forward motion It hurts to leave this behind And I didn't notice The tether came untied I'm in forward motion And I cant apologize I can only thank my Future self

Slow things down I have found Life slips past What's around So when you're feeling nervous Hold on I'm comin' for ya And when you're needing comfort Wait for me, wait for me I'll be there in a second Just know we'll always have this So when you need a minute Wait for me, wait for me Cause in the dark we can hold each other like we have Be afraid of what we once let pass See a side of things we'd never ask From each other, from one another When you seem Close to me Just feels right Wait and see So when you're feeling nervous Hold on I'm coming for ya And when you're needing comfort Wait for me, wait for me I'll be there in a second Just know we'll always have this So when you need a minute Wait for me, wait for me Cause in the dark we can hold each other like we have Be afraid of what we once let pass See a side of things we'd never ask From each other, from one another Don't turn away cause I'm coming for ya It's what you need, wait for me wait for me Its no surprise that we'll always have this Its what you need wait for me wait for me Cause in the dark Wait for me wait for me We can hold each other like we have Cause I'm comin for ya Be afraid of what we once let pass Wait for me wait of me See a side of things we'd never ask From each other Cause in the dark Wait for me wait for me We can hold each other like we have Cause I'm comin for ya Be afraid of what we once let pass That we'll always have this See a side of things we'd never ask Wait for me wait for me From each other, from one another Cause I'm comin' for ya

Heads 02:58

There's a place where we both met It felt incredible We learned that life wasn't there yet You're so unstoppable But you never make such a bold move Playing it all on the safe side I guess I'll just have to show you Too many memories floating through my dreams I never thought I'd see anybody there with me Trying to find a way back to where you laid by me You held me in your arms like this wasn't all ending Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might I took a dive off the deep end It was intentional I thought that you'd save me then Now it's a miracle That I went sinking in I learned to save myself Who knew that I could swim Too many memories floating through my dreams And I never thought I'd see anybody there with me Trying to find a way back to where you laid by me And held me in your arms like this wasn't all ending Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might I know this is hard, but you can't break my heart You're just pieces to me that have fallen apart This is all in my head so I'll go back to sleep And just live in the dream Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might Crush me, go ahead you crush me Every time, crush me, with all your might

You walk around with this Chip on your shoulder (I don't) Telling it like it is As if its important to be bolder (I don't) Go ahead with your doubts Judging people all around you (I won't) With your head in the clouds Not caring how your words are sounding Well I don't care If you think you're right I'm aware You're looking for a fight This is where I'll have to say goodbye Cause I won't dare Let you in my light You see the world, through a Lens that has been casted (I don't) Always taking offense, never Acting with compassion (I don't) Always spewing off hate Whenever you get challenged (I won't) Dumping all of your plate Without ever finding balance, but I don't care If you think you're right I'm aware You're looking for a fight This is where I'll have to say goodbye Cause I won't dare Let you in my light You spend your time pushing Others to their limits (I don't) Wanting the world to burn Claiming everything within it (I don't) So keep trying your best to get Everyone to join you (I won't) You're pulling so hard, I'm gonna have To disappoint you (Cause) I don't care If you think you're right I'm aware You're looking for a fight This is where I'll have to say goodbye Cause I won't dare Let you in my light I don't care If you think you're right I'm aware You're looking for a fight This is where I'll have to say goodbye Cause I won't dare Let you in my light I don't I don't I don't

Drifting 04:05
lyrics

I may be here, my mind is lost Echoes of your voice are ringing in my head It's bittersweet to break away So I won't run, I'll float off instead It might seem like I'm drifting I just get carried away Might seem I'm not listening Just can't hear what your sayin' Might seem like I'm distant I can't keep it at bay Cause what's the point of existing If I can't drift away I can't come down from far away Memories throughout time are playing back again It's like a game of hide and seek Searching for myself while I pretend It might seem like I'm drifting I just get carried away Might seem I'm not listening Just can't hear what your sayin' Might seem like I'm distant I can't keep it at bay Cause what's the point of existing If I can't drift away Can't drift away

Move You 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I know you think I'm crazy Wanting things that mean a lot to other people You think it's overrated Trying to live up to the dreams We never wanted to have Struggling with contentment You're fine leaning on the things you always do Don't want to build resentment But I know one day I'm gonna move you Don't call this dream a nightmare I'm gonna move you someday This dream is not a nightmare Someday... I'm gonna move you I'm open to believing In the twists and turns that lead us down a new road But don't you misperceive it Changing course may mean we'll lose ourselves Along the way Don't call this dream a nightmare I'm gonna move you someday This dream is not a nightmare Someday... I'm gonna move you I can hear you Laughing at me But you don't see There's something here And if you don't believe in following Then I hope you can just Move with me You're digging both your heels in But pushing back won't stop this shit from taking place So force yourself to lean in Cause our world is spinning so baby Don't call this dream a nightmare I'm gonna move you someday This dream is not a nightmare Someday... I'm gonna move you

Unspoken 03:35
lyrics

Unspoken are the words Is the way I see the world Real? Tormented by the story Is there even any glory Near I spent too much time Wasting away in my mind Dear So I go on living Like there's a new beginning Here It comes like a shock to know The demons I've been dodging may be chasing someone else And the hope that I've been clinging to Was just another story that I'd tell myself Unspoken are the words But doesn't change the hurt I feel Nothing's lining up So there must not be enough to heal Sitting on the sidelines Watch you playing on my news reel Like I'm waking from a dream But its never such a sweet deal It comes like a shock to know The demons I've been dodging may be chasing someone else And the hope that I've been clinging to Was just another story that I'd tell myself Convincing me has always been the easy way I'm fighting fears and I've never had the chance to say That this is me I'm bound to be what I am in my head Building castles in my mind, such a funny place to hide And only those who came knocking got to go inside Unspoken are the words But doesn't change the way I feel

Shoulda 01:29

Like a freight train running untethered Then it hits... I'll always remember How I was the one who surrendered These are the things I shoulda known better And you know you never got it together This is gonna stick to me forever Standing by, I was a silent offender These are the things I should have known better Like a tunnel caving under pressure When it hits I always remember How I was your greatest defender These are the things I should have known better Didn't always know how to sever Now this will stick to me forever I'm sick of feeling like a pretender These are the things I should have known better

Fireflies 04:49

Fireflies are lighting up the way Changing patterns are glowing in the haze Shining bright to guide us through the days These fireflies keep lighting up the way So please forgive me If I don't remember What I had to say Seems so long ago I wish I knew What mattered along the way These fireflies Are leading me astray So please forgive me If I don't remember What I had to say I'm part broken part of me is sound The flowing motion it carries me around A guiding light to help me to be found Cause I'm part broken and part of me is sound So please forgive me If I don't remember What I had to say Seems so long ago I wish I knew What mattered along the way These fireflies Are leading me astray So please forgive me If I don't remember What I had to say Please forgive me I don't know what to say Seems so long Wish I knew it mattered Fireflies lead me astray Please forgive me I don't know what to say So

Heavy Like the Sand 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Heavy like the sand weighs You pulled away, not looking back My cheek pressed against the glass We knew our time had passed Like the waves tumble to shore Every time they think they've made it out They come rolling in for more Your words, they were convincing I believed that you would never take them back Instead you just collapse Palms planted firmly on the glass Like the waves tumble to shore Every time they try to make it out They must come back for more You'd float away claiming I would waste my time And I should find another tide to spend my days longing for Heavy like the sand weighs You pulled away, not looking back My cheek pressed against the glass We knew our time had passed
