Angst
04:12

Feel like an empty shell, take it out on someone else
Cause I’m always trying to figure out what it means to be myself
And now… I don’t know
We share our thoughts before we think, share opinion like it’s fact..
Did anybody stop to think this echochamber’s hiding the truth?
And I don’t know
This social scene moves faster than our brains can process all that we read
Wonder why there’s so much angst in my voice, and I’ll tell you
It’s the only way I ever feel the way, the way I used to
Maybe I’ll tell you all my demons, get em' and then I’ll feel brand new
When all is really said and done, my words became noise scrolled on screen
For a while now I’ve felt grinded down and faded out
By things that used to bring me joy
But are just now things that bring me doubt
Of what I know
And when I scream and when I shout, just trying to help everyone out
It’s not that I am mad it’s just right now I might be breaking down
I don’t know
Oh I tried to get it right and I was kicking and I was fighting so hard
But all I’m left with is this irritating feeling deep inside of my heart
Wanna know why there’s so much angst in my voice
And I’ll tell you
I hate the way that I feel now, I miss the way used to
I am consumed by all my demons
Sweat ‘em out, maybe I’ll feel brand new
But in the end I think the whole nine yards just might have all been in vain
Cause It seems that everyone’s the same
And it seems that I’m the one who’s going insane

Crashed and Burnt
03:24

This birdseye view.. I see while the whole world crashed and burned around me
Day in and day out again…
Stuck in a city that never sleeps, could have sworn this was my dream
Always awake.. Never seeing an end..
This fake facade on the buildings covers up.. the wreckage all around
Everyone running from what’s real..
Passing judgement as they refuse to see my view from higher ground..
Once wide eyed - Now I’m burning out…
Try to search me deep, I’ll have no answers to show…
Do I look in the mirror? Do I look out the window?
You don’t know me… don’t tell me what I’m feeling..
Just let me be...you don’t know where I’m looking
I watch this view from my fire escape
It’s the only place in the world I feel safe
I’ve got this view from my fire escape
It’s the only place in the world I relate
Try to search me deep, I’ll have no answers to show…
Do I look in the mirror? Do I look out the window?
You don’t know me… don’t ask me what I’m feeling..
Just let me be...you don’t know where I’m looking
I watch this view from my fire escape
It’s the only place in the world I feel safe
I’ve got this view from my fire escape
It’s the only place in the world I relate
Try to search me deep, I’ll have no answers to show…
Do I look in the mirror? Do I look out the window?
You don’t know me… don’t ask me what I’m feeling..
Just let me be...you don’t know where I’m looking

All I Am

I’m stuck in a slideshow they portray as me...
But I can hardly relate
I’ll quit this game I’m destined to lose
Has my fate been sealed?
Over and over again
I seek these answers out,
But... Lost
Is all I am
Take it back before I knew everything
This plan’s about to blow..
And I don’t wanna go..
Distance myself… how does this all work out…
I’m feeling way too low
and I don’t wanna know…
I’ll never feel good enough for me
Cause my beauty of life doesn’t try to be seen
It feels like I’m waiting for life to start
Knowing what I know now, some things just fall apart
I seek these answers out
All I am is all I know..
Try to keep a steady hold
All I am is all I know..
Take it back before I knew everything
This plan’s about to blow..
And I don’t wanna go..
Distance myself… how does this all work out…
I’m feeling way too low
and I don’t wanna know…
This plan’s about to blow
And I don’t wanna go..
I’m stuck with all I am…
And nothing more to show..

At Wit's End

I’ve been thinking about how I spend my nights..
Looking for all the feelings that made me right
Growing out of the phase where I’m in.. this upstate of mind…
So I’ll hide in my head.. Help me forget..
All those times I lashed out… have no regrets..
Break me off from my family and friends… I’ll die on this hill now - alone here once again..
Lately, it feels like i’m going crazy
But this question I have.. Still lingering..
What’s so wrong with me… why would you call me out?
Could it be you’re the one who has the doubt..
Been around here a time or two… don’t try to say you’ve gone and thought it through
World don’t understand me.. And I’ve had enough..
But I read through the world just like a book..
I’ve been trying to fight it for years… To tell you the truth, I’m losing my fuckin’ mind!
Lately, it feels like i’m going crazy
But this question I have.. Still lingering..
Is this all worth my time and energy?
‘Cause the need to be right is killing me
I have no one to blame, but myself..
I just don’t want to be the only one who admits they’re wrong..

Binging Demons
04:27
|

|
I’ve had a few things that I lost track and let go of
And now those things have added up
I’m trying to restore what’s worth it
And identify it from what’s worth throwing out
Because I’ve been binging demons too long
Thinking that I can just purge them with a song
I’ve been in maintenance mode safely being bold
I can maintain, but I’m trying to gain control
I can only show you so much, Before I start to give up
On trying to make you see me as myself
I’m looking down on everything from my fire escape
Calling out complaints expecting things to change
I’ve been binging demons too long
Clouding reflections of what I’m doing wrong
All my past mistakes crept back up
The exact same time that I was stuck in a rut
Identify this mindset, because I’ve had these faults for years, now I swear to god
I’m a part of the problem working at solutions, and it keeps on coming up
Been driven mad like a drunk behind the wheel - each decision a wrong turn
Lost focus on what I need and got lost in what I feel
I’ve been binging demons too long
And sweat them out in a search of becoming strong
When society came to a screeching halt
I realized I can’t use my demons to hide my faults
Because I’ve been binging demons too long
Thinking that I can just purge them with a song
I’ve been in maintenance mode safely being bold
I can maintain, but I’m trying to gain control

World (So it Goes..)
03:45
|

Mental health has got me going crazy
I’m 26, already drunk and hazy
Kenny had it when he dropped that line
No counting seconds, no more wasting time
Watch what you say
And stare at your mouth
The ears keep hearing and they’re calling me out. (and so it goes…)
Buy up the lies, that it’ll all be fine -
You can’t run from reality this time…
Watching the creatures, dreaming as they’re crawling in
Digging a grave.. So it goes or I’m falling in.
I don’t feel right, this is the way I am..
I’m not ashamed… it’s just the way I am…
Watch what you say
And stare at your mouth
The ears keep hearing and they’re calling me out. (and so it goes…)
Buy up the lies, that it’ll all be fine -
You can’t run from reality this time…
It’s so easy just to binge these demons
And numb the feeling but to claim I’m still alive
It’s so easy just to binge these demons
But now I’m feeling it all
The World don’t understand me
But I don’t understand the world
We need to find some common ground to co-exist
I’ve been trying so hard to find it, but the world don’t give a shit
And I don’t think it ever did…
Watch what you say
And stare at your mouth
The ears keep hearing and they’re calling me out. (and so it goes…)
Buy up the lies, that it’ll all be fine -
You can’t run from reality this time…
