Oh
What a world
What a world
What a world
Chaos makes it twirl
This dance
Won't ever give the chance to stop
It's so hard to heal when that fist
Grabs my wrist and then
Tosses me
Around again
Again
I'll go to where
Chaos won't
Cloud the air
I'll move gentle
Move gentle
Oh
To find a place
Where the spin
Slows it's pace
To move gentle
Move gentle
Oh
Slipping on my feet when
Memories repeat
To know
Some real self love could show
All of this will heal
My memory was real
I deserve to feel
Something that no one will steal
From me ever again not again
I'll go to where
Chaos won't
Cloud the air
I'll move gentle
Move gentle
Oh
To find a place
Where the spin
Slows it's pace
To move gentle
Move gentle
Oh
Trying to hold on
As we turn
Trying to hold on
As we turn

Full Glow
02:09
|

Oh, still reaching to grow
To a full glow
To a full glow
To a full glow
Oh, still reaching to grow
To a full glow
To a full glow
To a
Yeah yeah yeah
Been a long earth spin living within this meat shell I dwell
At 24, body's still more in a war like before
Still learning to move slow
Still learning growth's an eb and flow 'cause burning makes a glow
Just to show that change won't go unknown
Oh still reaching to grow
To a full glow
To a full glow
To a full glow
Oh, still reaching to grow
To a full glow
To a full glow
To a full glow
Most the time, past slime clogs my eye and blinds my slipping climb
A frantic sprint more meant tripping in holes when trail gets thin
Tell me how even now I've still not found what I even want?
Life's a taunt
It tore me down to flaunt
Oh, still reaching to grow
To a full glow
To a full glow
To a full glow
Oh, still reaching to grow
To a full glow
To a full glow
To a

#1 (dizzy)
00:34
|
|||
Moving as we do
It becomes so hard to pinpoint which way is forward
Or which way is back
To see everything blurred
Is to forget what I've had to leave behind me
It's to forget where I even wanted to go to begin with
Nothing makes sense here

How to Wait ft. Benét
04:20
|
|||
I was raised a certain way
To say what I mean
And mean what I say
And I know certainly
It can pertain some hurtful things
But it shouldn't change the way
You think about me
And I know it sounds strange when I say
I can be nice sometimes
I know, I know, I know
I can be nice sometimes
Ooo I swear
Steady, steady now
Jumping to try touching the sky
Just tore up the ground that had stuck around
Through the stomping of
My restless feet that carelessly
Kicked all that was near to break and fall
I still mess up sometimes
I know, I know, I know
I still mess up sometimes
I Know
One thing I learned
One thing I learned
Is how to wait
One thing I learned
One thing I learned
Is how to wait, yeah
One thing I learned
One thing I learned
Is how to wait, yeah
It's true that I
Always tend to dive headfirst to find any kind
Of a release from my
Obsessive mind
But I'm aching still
Due to this unending need to fill up this hole
Dug to spill empty thrills
I'd pay any toll to feel full
But to pull won't console
My own impatient soul
This pace has chased too long
Either way, pushing on's all I know
One thing I learned
One thing I learned
Is how to wait
One thing I learned
One thing I learned
Is how to wait, yeah
One thing I learned
One thing I learned
Is how to wait, yeah
I still mess up sometimes
I can be nice sometimes
I know, I know
I still mess up sometimes
I can be nice sometimes
And I still mess up sometimes
Ooo I know, I know, I know
I still mess up sometimes
I can be nice sometimes
Ooo I swear

Motion
02:18
|
|||
Don't care 'bout where motion flows
I hold no
Shape still so I'll just go
Pour real slow where
Gravity pulls at me
Never seen a sea not free to be
Flowing wide and deep
I wouldn't dare to lay stagnant and betray
The chance to give new motion to live through
I wouldn't dare to lay stagnant and betray
The chance to give new motion to live through
Containers will hold
Temperatures cold so
Holding that mold
Will leave my heart old
So I'm not sold
To do what's told
The current is currently care free
I crave
To ride that wave
Into the grave
I wouldn't dare to lay stagnant and betray
The chance to give new motion to live through
I wouldn't dare to lay stagnant and betray
The chance to give new motion to live through

Sore
04:13
|
|||
Lying face down in disgrace
Aching stuck in place
Is one toll this cycle charges for unstable floor
Can't be seen here when I'm down
Or that loud sound of my own shame will pound
My pride to the ground
Because
This sore is more
Than just an ache in my side
Bliss soared just for
One chance to bandage up my
Fist torn, kissed more
By contact scraped on the floor
Maybe solo's not
The safest way to grow
Solo can't be all that I know
That I know
That yell resounds in my ear
Burning fear when
Anyone gets near
Oh, if I could just push
Just push through
Maybe then
Weight won't win
Weight won't win
This sore is more
Than just an ache in my side
Bliss soared just for
One chance to bandage up my
Fist torn, kissed more
By contact scraped on the floor
Maybe solo's not
The weight keeps building up
The weight keeps building up, oh
Oh
The weight keeps building up
The weight keeps building up, oh
Oh
To confide in angels by my side could be
A chance for this old sore to be no more
To confide in angels by my side could be
A chance for this old sore to be no more
oooo

#2 (gravity)
00:33
|
|||
Grab my wrists and turn me quickly
There I'll lean back so my weight can help push the speed
Contrast creates one hell of a rush
As gravity pulls me down and movement holds me up
Its always felt natural to trust in motion
But playing games with gravity has only ever lead to one thing
|

Swarm
03:46
|
|||
Alarm, alarm
To disarm fear of harm might
Bring sweet relief
Maybe weave hope with grief
How come my stomach's still numb
If a crumb could
Feed what I need?
Maybe it's the speed
Of life's greed
That misleads me
Fear is spreading like a weed
Just breathe
Can't feed into that
Need to combat
Thorns that grow back
Pacing 'cause my mind's a storm
This swarm of terror's a
Part of the norm
Move to stay warm
Fear is spreading like a weed
Just breathe
Can't feed into that
Need to combat
Thorns that grow back
Pacing 'cause my mind's a storm
This swarm of terror's a
Part of the norm
Move to stay warm
This throbbing behind my eyes is
Robbing me blind of my sane mind
Why, why still do I
Even still now
Get thrown back down
By flashbacks bound like a crown
Placed around
All I see
Could it be
Memory that's choking me slow
Fear is spreading like a weed
Just breathe
Can't feed into that
Need to combat
Thorns that grow back
Pacing 'cause my mind's a storm
This swarm of terror's a
Part of the norm
Move to stay warm
Fear is spreading like a weed
Just breathe
Can't feed into that
Need to combat
Thorns that grow back
Pacing 'cause my mind's a storm
This swarm of terror's a
Part of the norm
Move to stay warm

Life remains hazed like window stains
Those past eyes
Feel more wise as time dies
In most ways blazing through the days
Chasing highs gives no prize to my cry
Guess wiping out those smudges is about
Giving up doubt
To see clear so that rear mirror
Can disappear
You don't want problems, this is my day
Fall weather, teachers in the way
Yell out my window, come out to play
Too much homework, feeling so gray
Graduate from bikes to cars
New circles & fading bonds
New house, need reciprocation
Compliments unappreciated
Catering to breadwinner
Need love not manipulation
Hear my thoughts in bed wit ya
Finances or picture painting
Going knight over cobblestone
I was cold 2 blocks ago
Intuition my GPS
To be in reverse when I reflect
Yes
Life remains hazed like window stains
Those past eyes
Feel more wise as time dies
In most ways blazing through the days
Chasing highs gives no prize to my cry
Guess wiping out those smudges is about
Giving up doubt
To see clear so that rear mirror
Can disappear
Yeah yeah yeah
Speak up when i don't hear
We can drum a love dear
We begun the song my deer
Headlights are the wrong kiss
Lefty swerve, no one right
Heavy words, caution sign
Levee bursting water eyes
Let me know what's on your mind
Going through it what can i do
To be a better person for you?
Handle truth like baggage claim
Grow apart or on different pages
You lesson not a lifetime
Like full moon in the night sky
Or window full of bright shine
No busy work i'm finna go outside
Ya
Window stains may block
My view

Prophet
02:46
|
|||
Profit wants all my time
So pay
You must pay to play
Profit says climb or die
So pay
You must pay to play
You're the lie
I bought to get by
So pay
You must pay to play
Why don't you sell your joy and health
In trade for profit's false promise of wealth
Prophet doesn't see my future
Prophet speaks just like a fraud
Prophet preys upon their user
Prophet wants to be my god
Nine to five ain't the way
Don't play
No, don't play their game
Trapped me with debt to stay
They say that they'll make me pay
Labor all day starving wage still may pay
Can't go on this way
Why don't you sell your joy and health
In trade for profit's false promise of wealth
Prophet doesn't see my future
Prophet speaks just like a fraud
Prophet preys upon their user
Prophet wants to be my god
Prophet doesn't see my future
Prophet speaks just like a fraud
Prophet preys upon their user
Prophet wants to be my god

Still
02:44
|
|||
Running in a circle was
Fun when in a mutual spin because
Hope to feel
Belonging never to me was real
Gave anyone my everything
Crave pennies flung by my feet just to cling
To anything
That could bring a home to trust in
Count on none
Chase is done
No one underneath earth's sun
Can give
Belonging
Long as I live
Spinning around just to spill
All of the weight that
Holds me still
Turning around spinning until
I'm standing tall through
Momentum's will
Spinning around just to spill
All of the weight that holds me still
Turning around spinning until
All of this weight won't refill
Count on none
Chase is done
No one underneath earth's sun
Can give
Belonging
Long as I live
Still learning as I go on
Won't yearn for what is now gone
Won't burn the page where hope's drawn
This ain't new
This ain't new
Still learning as I go on
Won't yearn for what is now gone
Won't burn the page where hope's drawn
This ain't new
This ain't new still

Walls
03:12
|
|||
I'll place every brick
For a thrill of purpose hoping it may stick
Stacking up something more
I could pour my all for, oh
To rest today
Will mean my mind might melt my heart away
No no
To climb's to be
Away from my own enemy
Enemy
While standing ten walls tall
Why does this new found high view
Still not lift me too?
Should've known
I should've known
Should've known
That climbing ten walls tall is
Too low for pride
Ego climbs still right by my side
Should've known
I should've known
Should've known
I should've known
Yeah yeah
I should've known
Should've known
Yeah yeah
I should've known
Should've known
Yeah yeah
I should've known
To gaze from such height felt like
A chance to feel some worth but
These walls I placed to fuel my chase
Caged my view
I can't see through
See through
Alone, I've found
Is always where my climb
Lead to this time, oh
It's lonely here
That voice in my head's all I hear
It's screaming in my ear
While standing ten walls tall
Why does this new found high view
Still not lift me too?
Should've known
I should've known
Should've known
That climbing ten walls tall is
Too low for pride
Ego climbs still right by my side
Should've known
I should've known
Should've known

#3 (and so i fall)
00:52
|
|||
Gravity is fighting me
My head won't stop throbbing from this constant spin
I can't help but wonder if I'd be better of letting go
To allow gravity's pull to drop me back down to stationary placement
Trusting enough to let go
Has always been the scariest part
But I refuse to stay stuck in these cycles forever
So for now
I'll choose to let myself fall

Time Helps
03:43
|
|||
Hard to tell what's real now
Careless cloudy eyes
Burned the house down
Why do cycles keep repeating
Always leaving
Self-worth and doubt
Used and burnt out
Wishing that I knew
Getting lost into
The feeling no ceiling
Could contain was the same
Passion passed into what
Left me with doors shut
Time helps rebuild
Time helps rebuild
Time helps rebuild
Time helps rebuild
Even now still most
Of what's felt mainly shows
Fragments of the highs and lows
Aching as it grows
Vision's blurry up close
Steps backwards could show a clearer view
Of the picture we drew
Time helps rebuild
Time helps rebuild
Time helps rebuild
Time helps rebuild
