Keep Still
So this is what I turned into
Someone no one wants to stick to
It’s everytime I think about you
Too much for me to live up to
‘Cause I don't really know where I wanna go
All that I know, I’m going on my own
Sit around and watch another talkshow
Like you and I did until a while ago
Time goes by
But I keep still
Out of pride
Out of will
I might fleet the fight
Then head out
To sleep through the night
So this is all I’m good for
Waking up late and hang indoors
Once a week I head to the store
Buying all the junk I can account for
‘Cause I don't really know where I wanna go
All that I know, I’m going on solo
Sit around and watch another talkshow
Like you and I did until a while ago
Time goes by
But I keep still
Out of pride
Out of will
I might fleet the fight
Then head out
To sleep through the night
Time goes by
But I keep still
Out of pride
Out of will

Helpless

What's the point of this deja-vu
I can recognize a thing or two
Wonder what it’s really do to
When waking up without a thing to do
What's the point of truth
If I’m not waking up next to you
I tap out
Hide my helplessness away
In my room, in my car
Don’t wanna know where you are
‘Cause I want out
A lot of things I need to redo
Thinking back when I was 22
A lot of people that I wish I knew
A lot of things i wouldn’t turn to
What's the point of truth
If i’m not waking up next to you
I tap out
Hide my helplessness away
In my room, in my car
Don’t wanna know where you are
‘Cause I want out

I Try
04:37

I don’t wanna find out
If I waste my time
My head burns out
It's been a too long climb
Try shutting it out
And just let it go by
I’m unsure what’s my leading light
I don’t know, but I wanna find out
I try hard, but there is nothing in sight
I’m not sure, guess I’ll have to sit tight
A bathroom wall with clever quotes on a sticker
One of them said, everything will get better
All I ask is for things to go quicker
‘Cause everyone’s outside
Making themself proud
Feels like I’m not allowed
Miss you by my side
I’m unsure what’s my leading light
I don’t know, but I wanna find out
I try hard, but there is nothing in sight
I’m not sure, guess I’ll have to sit tight
Everyone’s outside
Making themself proud
Feels like I’m not allowed
Miss you by my side
A bathroom wall with clever quotes on a sticker
One of them said, everything will get better
All I ask is for things to go quicker
Everyone’s outside
Making themself proud
Feels like I’m not allowed
Miss you by my side

Don't Worry
03:17
|

|
Glorify all the friends of mine
I believe they're my finish line
Making sure I have an alibi
No one minds if I don’t come by
Hold on to my tendencies
My only arch enemies
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
I believe that it’s do to
All the things you said
And the choice you made
Getting told not to worry much
It’s although that it fills me up
Let up on all of my ideas
Escaping realities
Hold on to my tendencies
My only arch enemies
I might be older but I noticed that I still think about you, about you
I should be bolder, your cold shoulder is all that I stick to, I miss you
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
I believe that it’s do to
All the things you said
And the choice you made

Only You
03:33
|

|
Tell me why
Everything I imply
Slips your mind
Like I’m constantly waiting in line
Am I being left behind
Am I being left behind
Just passing time
Waiting for a change in your mind
So well quarantined
That I’m closing down the window blinds
Self-denying in the meantime
Everyone is out to see
My privacy
My likes
And disabilities
They all try to be friends with me
But it’s only you I wanna see
They all try to be friends with me
But it’s only you I wanna see
Try something new
But I don’t really know how to
Not an issue for you
You seem to know everyone you run into
All I ask is who the hell are you
All I ask is who the hell are you
Everyone is out to see
My privacy
My likes
And disabilities
They all try to be friends with me
But it’s only you I wanna see
Everyone is out to see
My privacy
My likes
And disabilities
They all try to be friends with me
But it’s only you I wanna see
It’s only you I wanna see
It’s only you I wanna see
It’s only you that I wanna see

Find Me a Cure
03:41

Please tell me everything you know about me
That I’m cool just to a certain degree
I wanna be seen in your company
Meet your friends and feel like somebody
Just wanna make sure
That you know who I really am
I like the way you keep your home
Messy but clean
With the right artwork
And a smell of green tea
I wanna be seen at your place
And meet your roomates
They say they have no clue
But I think you do
Find me a cure
To rest all assured
Say what you wanna
With one another
I don’t care about the weather
I wanna be wearing your sweater
‘Cause I wanna be seen with you in public
Meet the people that you trusted
Just wanna make sure
That you know who I really am
I wanna be featured on your socials
Be a part of your emotions
They say they have no clue
But I think you do
Find me a cure
To rest all assured
Say what you wanna
With one another
Everything that you already know
I would like you to let it go
Trying hard
Doing all that I can
With one another

At the Door
02:14
|

|
There's someone at the door
But I don't answer
I try to move yet I sit still
My mind is playing tricks on me
Caught up with things that I can't see
Spending time with nobody
There's someone at the door
But I don't answer
I try to move my legs a bit
My mind is playing tricks on me
Caught up with things that I can't see
Spending time with nobody
I am stuck
How do I move on from here
I think I'll camp here
And try to think clear

Shelf Life
01:50

Who am I gonna be
Some said, you’re better on your own
Place it on a shelf and help yourself
Who am I gonna be
Some said, you’re better on your own
Place it on a shelf and help yourself

TV
03:17
|
|||
|
They might, they might believe it
Just show me all the good stuff
Leave all the bad stuff
I watch TV
The talking head
Is making me
Not getting out of bed
And magazines
Are telling me
Change is good
But I disagree
Hardly any good news
They might believe it
Hard to get a hope through
When no one believes it
You could make a scene
Be carefree
Turn off the screen
And try to flee
It’s dragging me
I guarantee
On my knees
Turn, turn it off for me
They might, they might believe it
Just show me all the good stuff
Leave all the bad stuff

Panic
04:45
|
|||
|
I can’t sleep no more
I want it to be just like before
Can’t find peace anymore
No way near what I had hopes for
‘Cause everytime I look around
I don't see anything at all
But everytime I close my eyes
I see everything and more
Lying here wide awake
Pretty sure you’ve made a mistake
Going out on my own
I don’t like to be alone
‘Cause everytime I look around
I don't see anything at all
But everytime I close my eyes
I see everything and more
I don't wanna get my hopes up
I don't wanna get my hopes up
Given all the time you've spend on your own
Given all the time you haven't been here
This is all causing me this panic attack
Forcing me to turn my back on you
