Drain 02:11
Wildflowers towering, and leaves covering my feet. Tracing my steps in circles. The sun in my eyes.
2.
Far Out 04:00
Absent mindedness. Not in serenity, in recklessness.
3.
Shut In 03:14
Where u been while I've been crying? Left me out to dry in the rain. Where u been while I've been playing in the bathroom with a razor blade. I couldn't explain myself or something. I didn't know what was in my way. But I never even thought to tell you. So how did I expect it to go away. Curtain closed, yellow glow, it's February, it's never clear round here. I didn't mean to bother you.
4.
Steps 01:35
Over the river, under the street lights. I think there's something in the night. Where am I? I don't know my way home.
5.
Doctor 01:29
Find me tied up in the garage hanging around. Why aren't you laughing? "Hanging around" Why aren't you laughing? Find you caught up in my head drifting around. Why aren't you speaking? drifting around Why aren't you speaking? Something's up, hear me out, let me think, don't let me talk. Break this down, collect your thoughts, spill yourself to me.
6.
Don't you want to be fearless? Don't you want to be honest? Well I hope that I have to so I can be what I promised. And I've made some claims, more to myself. But I just can't live up to what comes out of my mouth. When I said I was selfless, I don't think that I meant it. And I'm starting to wonder maybe I'm just fucking stupid? When I said I was selfless, I don't think that I meant it. And I'm starting to realise I'm just fucking stupid.
7.
Strong 02:46
I told you before not to worry any more. I can't fight it off but you can.
8.
Missed Call 03:48
You called it catharsis, but I called it, you're crying. Stop lying, be good. Let me teach you. Take one moment, think it through a few more times until you come to no conclusion. Start again.
9.
Solace 02:16
There's solace in sadness itself. She reaches out to me, then in the morning she is gone. A glow. A feather lay in the street. Nature paints a picture. The street light catches the corners of my eyes. I don't want to go. I don't want to go to sleep.
10.
I waited four whole years for nothing to happen, for nothing to move forwards but I know it's a drift. I saw habits turn to routine in hours between, but they won't be missed.

NOT MY LYRICS - THIS IS A COVER If your sweetheart send a letter of goodbye It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry. When waking from a bad dream Don't you sometimes think it's real? But it's only false emotions that you feel. If your heartaches seem to hang around too long And your blues keep getting bluer with each song Remember sunshine can be found Behind a cloudy sky So let your hair down and go on and cry.
