Spark

You and me, we both fell from the same tree
And I’ll tell you all I know with a bottle in front of me
Me and you, we’re both stuck in the same glue
And you try all you know but sometimes it’s not up to you
But it seems as though things between us have changed
The silence on this glacier feels so strange
It’s breaking my heart, it’s breaking my heart
And it’s tearing us apart
Loaded guns and killer medicines, buying up rounds till we’re out of funds
So we’ll sell the ground from beneath our unborn sons
Because this chaos and calamity only feed my apathy
And there’s nothing left that means a thing to me
It’s breaking my heart, it’s breaking my heart
It’s breaking my heart, it’s breaking my heart
And it’s tearing the world apart
Yet here is me on bended knee with a last ditch attempt at poetry
But words defy the beauty that I see
A simple act of generosity awoke what I thought was lost in me
I’m not perfect but I’m better than I used to be
And it’s melting my heart, it’s melting my heart
It’s melting my heart, it’s melting my heart
And it only took a spark

Exit Plans
03:34

Always wanna be somewhere else
Always wanna be someone else
Useless fears got me more afraid of life than death
And I just wanna know how it feels to lose control
I’ll die a thousand times
From self-inflicted crimes
Running through my racing mind
In a prison of my own design
Wanna hold it in my hands
So I’ll make exit plans
Once we’re gone we’re gone
Once it’s done it’s done
Is it ever really noticed by anyone?
And now I think I know how it feels to lose control
I die a thousand times
From self-inflicted crimes
Running through my racing mind
In a prison of my own design
I hold it in my hands
Cause I’ve made exit plans
But when pain becomes purpose
Then maybe it’s worth it
We didn’t choose this
And we are not worthless
The sentence could’ve ended here
How can she treat herself like this?
Doesn’t she see the things she’d miss?
A reminder on her skin that life can begin
It’s in our control
Holding on by letting go
We could’ve died a thousand times
From self-inflicted crimes
Running through our racing minds
In a prison of our own design
Won’t let it slip through our hands
No need for exit plans
No need for exit plans

Lock the Door
03:38

I’m awake in a place that never dreams
Cause she’s calling in her sleep
Screams out to Jesus but we’re all out of faith
Cause there’s no God in this forsaken place
But if we give ourselves a bit of grace
They say maybe we’ll be better someday
So lock the door and throw out the key
Because the world has lost its mind
Turn off the TV and turn down the noise
Because there’s no truth left to find
Here the colours have meanings, the red and white and blue
Just take what’s on offer, let it melt into you
But time has turned our black and white to different shades of grey
And the darkness stole our words till there was nothing left to say
So lock the door and throw out the key
Because the world has lost its mind
Turn off the TV and turn down the noise
Because there’s no truth left to find
Here we are, broken and battered
Cast aside, but once we mattered
But here’s the thing you don’t get about us
We’re just sad, not dangerous
So you turn away
Till there’s nothing left to save
So lock the door and throw out the key
Because the world has lost its mind
Turn off the TV and turn down the noise
Because there’s no truth left to find

If I Could (Explicit)
03:27
|
|||
Picking up speed, but couldn’t see the crash come
Caught up in selfish altruism
Addicted to that familiar despair
Still breathing, but no longer there
And if I could say one thing for sure
You were never as alone as you thought you were
Cause no one has the answers, and there’s more than just one way
But it’s not a finish line, it’s a choice you make each day
Choose living or choose life
Some days it’s enough just to be alive
They were looking down from the viaduct
Thought no one even gave a fuck
And now we peer through the veil
To see all the ways we’ve failed
And if I could talk to them I’d say
I’m sorry you never found your reason that day
Cause no one has the answers, and there’s more than just one way
But it’s not a finish line, it’s a choice you make each day
Choose living or choose life
Some days it’s enough just to be alive
Cause no one has the answers, and there’s more than just one way
But it’s not a finish line, it’s a choice you make each day
Choose living or choose life
Some days it’s enough just to be alive
Some days it’s enough just to be alive
