Rest Your Head

Still struggling to find the sleep
That I Need to function in society
I guess I’ve always been this way
Some people are so lucky
Just to function normally
Must be nice to have healthy brains
You can’t hate me
I’m not sorry
I can’t live this way
In dysfunction mind malfunction
I dig my grave
Go Rest Your head
Somewhere they can’t find you
I’ll Wait, Stay awake
Your dreams will guide you home
I wonder if I’ll make ends meet
Just to survive another week
Professional help and routine
Got told to stay aware
Of my dirty habits I keep
I don’t feel like
Staying clean
You can’t judge me
I’m the enemy
But you’re no saint
Antihero tragedy oh no
In love with pain
Go Rest Your head
Somewhere they can’t find you
I’ll Wait, Stay awake
Your dreams will guide you home
You can’t hate me
I’m not sorry
I can’t live this way
In dysfunction mind malfunction
I dig my grave
Go Rest Your head
Somewhere they can’t find you
I’ll Wait, Stay awake
Your dreams will guide you home

The Carved Names

You can't pull me out my own way
I've known for a while now
No one ever stays
Everyone leaves
I guess it's your time
I should've seen it coming again
See yourself out
Guess I'll see you around, my friend
Nothing stays the same
Tears obscured by rain
Pouring down from clouds above my bed
Thunderstorm raging in my head
I can barely trust my own mind
What made me think that its fine
To let anybody into my life
I'll say it again
I'm hyper vigilant
I know you're up to something
My insecurities will mark my grave
Nothing stays the same
Tears obscured by rain
Pouring down from clouds above my bed
Thunderstorm raging in my head
The rain pours down the carved names
Fading on the tree of lovers
As the moss grows over once again
Lest we forget and smother
Now they've moved on
To different songs
In fresh arms of another
The rain pours down the carved names
Fading on the tree of lovers

Ride With Me

I’m keeping a breath inside my lungs
In case I need to scream out
A cry for help or simple agony
I’m thinking out loud
If you’re listening
Suppose I gotta sound profound
Oh wait, I’m just background music
For my deadbeat hometown
See, in the bar life
Folks don’t pay attention
Too busy with the hook-ups
And the sport on the television
I guess we’re out here
Just talking to ourselves
Schizo these hoes and bros
We all need some help
Nobody admits
The problem they’ve got
We’re drowning out the cries
With the nicotine and the shots
I’m feeling emptier
The more I fill my body with lies
It’s time to let that hit hit you
And open up your bloodshot eyes
Change your environment
You’ll change yourself
Change yourself
And your environment
Will change your mental health
I know it’s not
As black and white as that
But I’ll cling onto the hope
That we can take ourselves back again
I wish you’d carry me (carry me)
Gently far away from my pain
I want some therapy (therapy)
Inner me don’t wanna be the same
He say
Honestly my world keeps turning
Even though I wish it would burn down
Get up, get up,
Come and take a ride with me
I got a lotta things I wanna show you
Turn up the volume on the radio
Turn it up, get up, come on
Don’t you try to fight with me
It’s the only way that I can get to know you
Hold your baggage out the car window and let it go
Been feeling like a bag of bones
An empty colosseum
My tired liar eyes
Are hypnotized by people’s lives seeming grim
Repetition, repetition
Time and space continuum
Time loop, stuck in a cycle
Like a sim
Honestly I just wanna
Pick apart my brain
And let my therapist tell me
How to start over again
Through the pain that I’ve dealt
The hurt I’ve caused
I’m paying my debt
A heart full of grief
A hurtful regret
Sick of being this person
Man, I wish it would stop
I might just impale myself
On the hands of the clock
Just to halt time
Making sure that I never drop
Another person from the heights
Of my ego’s top floor
The end of this cycle
Is something to die for
And the pain that I dish out
Is to take my own life for
I don’t want to live
With all the evil I can be
And I don’t wanna be this man
I don’t wanna be me anymore
I wish you’d carry me (carry me)
Gently far away from my pain
I want some therapy (therapy)
Inner me don’t wanna be the same
He say
Honestly my world keeps turning
Even though I wish it would burn down
Get up, get up,
Come and take a ride with me
I got a lotta things I wanna show you
Turn up the volume on the radio
Turn it up, get up, come on
Don’t you try to fight with me
It’s the only way that I can get to know you
Hold your baggage out the car window and let it go
Get up, get up,
Come and take a ride with me
I got a lotta things I wanna show you
Turn up the volume on the radio
Turn it up, get up, come on
Don’t you try to fight with me
It’s the only way that I can get to know you
Hold your baggage out the car window and let it go
Just let it go
Just let it go
Just let it go

Hold Me Up
02:51

We’re all guilty of romanticizing suffering
We’ll never learn
We’ll do it all again
But my favourite part of growing attached
Is knowing everything ends
Everything ends
Capturing our growing moments
In our photographs
Watching ourselves blossom
Then burn and fall apart
We all fall apart
You’ve got my attention
I’ve got insecurities
You’ve got art and glasses
I’ve got nowhere else to be
Could you drive me home
From the bar I found you in
Could you sing me to sleep
Could we begin
I feel ostracized in your presence
I choke on my words
I’m inspired when I talk to you
Because you’re not of this earth
Now it’s nothing much
I’m just crushed
The weight of you
It holds me up
You hold me up
You hold me up
You hold me up
And I’ll let you down

Thank You

Things outside of my control are on fire
I can find some solace in the space I found beside her
As my world falls apart
And crumbles around my feet
I’m oblivious to it all
I’m tangled and asleep
I’m glued to the ground
While the pieces collide
I’ve been breaking down
In dreams where you’re not by my side
One touch, have my word
Upwards and onward
We’ll make it go away
Imperfect and growing
Like drunk storytelling
We’ll always find a way
