Break My Fall
01:29

If there's a god I'm talking to him now
Don't think I ever learned to shut my mouth
But lately it seems like the floors are giving out
Never thought I would beg to hit the ground
In the sky, I am small
Would you please break my fall?
Wish that I'd hit the wall
Would you please break my fall?

Keep Me Safe
03:22

The clock is ticking down
Like a hammer to my skull
And I can't stop it now
It's like the harder that I pull
The shorter every minute seems
Counting til the moment that you leave
My body pressed down flat
All my weight on the minute hand
But when it finally snaps
Who knows where I'm gonna land
Floating in your memory
I'm not as weightless as I seem
I just want you to be happy
But I don't know where that leaves me
Yeah I just want you to be happy
But I don't want you to leave me
You've got a storm to rage
But I'm still locked outside
And you can't slow your pace
So there's nowhere I can hide
Thunder when your engine starts
Washed away, I'm torn apart
I just want you to be happy
But I don't know where that leaves me
Yeah I just want you to be happy
But I don't want you to leave me
Who's gonna keep me safe when you're gone?
Who's gonna keep me sane?
Who's gonna keep me safe when you're gone, when you're gone, when you're gone, when you're gone
I just want you to be happy
But I don't know where that leaves me, leaves me
Yeah I just want you to be happy, happy, happy
I don't want you to leave me

Learning the Feeling
02:58
|

Days slip away
When you leave them on repeat
Stay wide awake
Cause I’ve forgotten how to sleep
And I’ve been keeping quiet
What has silence done for me
Poison in my oxygen
But now I’m coming clean
So I’m kicking and screaming
Blue in the face from keeping it in, yeah
I’m finally breathing
Bottled it up, but I’m learning the feeling
Stop, turn it off
All the static in my brain
‘Cause every time I take control
I watch it slip away
And I’ve been keeping quiet
What has silence done for me
Chokin’, baby’s broken
But I’ll give you every piece
So I’m kicking and screaming
Blue in the face from keeping it in, yeah
I’m finally breathing
Bottled it up, but I’m learning the feeling
I’m learning the feeling
Swallow my words, burning my mouth
Can’t feel a thing, keeping ‘em down
Swallow my words, burning my mouth
Can’t feel a thing, spitting it out
So I’m kicking and screaming
Blue in the face from keeping it in, yeah
I’m finally breathing
Bottled it up, but I’m learning the feeling

Bad News
03:21
|
|||
It’s a moment
Nobody sees
On my own while
My thoughts get the best of me
And I don’t know what time it is right now
My heartbeat is slowly counting down
I know we got shit to talk about
Can never pin you down
I’m Waiting in the dark
Waiting here with nothing to hold onto
Don’t know where to start
Or what it’s gonna take for me to reach you
But I’m already gone
I’m already gone
Didn’t wanna wait to hear the bad news
You’re the pavement
I’m gonna hit
Should I jump right now or
Wait until my fingers slip
And I don’t know what time it is right now
My heartbeat is slowly counting down
I know we got shit to talk about
You won’t say it out loud
I’m Waiting in the dark
Waiting here with nothing to hold onto
Don’t know where to start
Or what it’s gonna take for me to reach you
But I’m already gone
I’m already gone
Didn’t wanna wait to hear the bad news
Give it to me straight
I don’t need anything to chase
The pieces of your mind
Ready for the shoe to drop
I don’t know why you put it off
You’re out of time
But I’m already gone, I’m already gone
Not Waiting in the dark
Waiting here with nothing to hold onto
Don’t know where to start
Or what it’s gonna take for me to reach you
But I’m already gone
I’m already gone
Didn’t wanna wait to hear the bad news

Suck Up
03:14
|
|||
My eyes are bigger than my appetite allows
I wanna give myself, but someone else comes out
I try to impress you, give my best attempt
But you would never know it cause I'm still such a mess
So there's no way I'm not a mistake
I'm a suck up to myself
Wish I was someone else
Face to face I try to erase
But I'm a suck up to myself
And I'm nobody
Another new disguise, versions of a theme
I try to figure out my name but it's symbols I can't read
I try to dissect it, I hold every piece
But everything's different, nothing I can keep
Slip through my own fingers, can't seem to connect
I know it's not right but just let me pretend
So there's no way I'm not a mistake
I'm a suck up to myself
Wish I was someone else
Face to face I try to erase
But I'm a suck up to myself
And I'm nobody
I'm a thousand versions of myself when I wake up
And I don't think any of them will ever be enough
I'm a thousand versions of myself when I wake up
And I don't think she's ever gonna tell me I'm enough
So there's no way I'm not a mistake
I'm a suck up to myself
Wish I was someone else
Face to face I try to erase
But I'm a suck up to myself
And I'm nobody

Personal Space
04:26
|

Cover up my face
It’s hard to hide
They all know my name
But don’t let them inside
Shattered the glass, I’m cutting my feet
The party’s not on ’til somebody bleeds
Couldn’t you go easy on me?
I don’t abuse
You break into
My personal space
I try to get by, what’s left to take?
Voices in my head
I’m sinking deep
Easy to forget
My thoughts and what I believe
Well maybe I’m tired of being myself
Didn’t think I’d ever know how that felt
Couldn’t you go easy on me?
I don’t abuse
You break into
My personal space
I try to get by, what’s left to take?
My mind’s not safe
My thoughts they race
And I’ve been comfortable just living in last place
No words get out
Cause you’re too loud
I don’t abuse
You break into
My personal space
I try to get by, what’s left to take?
