Duality Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some days I get crazed
I don't know why they're so irrelevant
I'll take deep breaths and keep control to go on
I've tried "brave" and I've tried "saved"
I've tried to keep it bottled up
I think I've passed my prime and lost my mind and I'm torn
[Pre-Chorus 1]
There's no telling what tomorrow holds
[Chorus]
Who let, who let this feeling die, when all I did was try?
Who let, you let this feeling die
I can't get you out of my head, my head
You're the flame that burns me, so I know that I'm still alive
[Verse 2]
Some say it's all fate
But I say we control our lives
And if my destiny should out-best me then that's fine
I make believe thrill and apathy co-exist in me fairly equally
The truth is doubts are all I've got to call mine
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's no telling what tomorrow holds
There's no telling what voice takes control
[Chorus]
Who let, who let this feeling die, when all I did was try?
Who let, you let this feeling die
I can't get you out of my head, my head
You're the flame that burns me, so I know that I'm still alive
[Bridge]
Is there anybody out there (anybody out there)
Is anybody calling (anybody calling)
What if what I say is really wrong?
Is there anybody out there (anybody out there)
Is anybody calling (anybody calling)
What if what you say is really wrong?
I'm not in control, I think I'm out of control
[Chorus]
Who let, who let this feeling die, when all I did was try?
Who let, you let this feeling die
I can't get you out of my head, my head
You're the flame that burns me, so I know that I'm still alive
Choice Hops and Bottled Self Esteem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last call, lights on
Pull your faces off the bar
Go to church 'cause you need a good cleansing
Of body mind and soul
I never thought it possible
I think I fell in love with someone worse than me
And I love you to death (love you to death)
I don't think I like you anymore
[Chorus 1]
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
[Verse 2]
They say that scent is the strongest sense
Its tied to memories (tied to memories)
The stench of this place is almost as bad
As the memory tied to it
Tried to forget that sickening stench
With everything I got (everything I got)
You can't trust a heart
That was cold from the start
Waste your time on it
[Chorus 2]
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
You could play all day
And tell your friends that everything's alright
The truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight
[Bridge]
Should thank your lucky stars
For all the times you've been ashamed
You'll learn more from the harder times
Than times that you've been vain
The lesson learned is priceless gain if you can take the sting
You threw away your friends as if drinks were all the friends you need
[Chorus 2]
The healing power of alcohol
Only works on scrapes and nicks
And not on girls in seedy bars
Who drown themselves in it
You could play all day
And tell your friends that everything's alright
The truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight
[Outro]
(The truth is that your heart collapsed two years ago tonight)
Dear Your Holiness Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey mom, they left me here alone
Someone save me, someone save me
Hey god, I'm out here on my own
So now will you save me now
[Pre-Chorus]
I think it's funny you've been quiet for so long
When you're quiet, no one proves you wrong
And dear your holiness
Your army's safe and sound (army's safe and sound)
They're down here dying for you
[Chorus]
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
Maybe you can trick a lot of them
Maybe if you fool the best of them
The rest will come around
[Verse 2]
We're all scared
So they dressed you up in all these
Different names
I've gotta find peace with myself
Before I give you all
Before I give you anything at all
[Pre-Chorus]
I think it's funny you've been quiet for so long
When you're quiet, no one proves you wrong
And dear your holiness
Your army's safe and sound (army's safe and sound)
They're down here dying for you
[Chorus]
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
Maybe you can trick a lot of them
Maybe if you fool the best of them
The rest will come around (around)
[Bridge]
Been thinking that there's something more
And that you'd come down and you tell me yourself
Now I realize it's a waste of time
Another penny thrown down the well
[Outro]
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
(Dear your holiness, your army's safe and sound)
And I don't know how they found me, found me here
(Dear your holiness, your army's safe and sound)
Maybe you can trick a lot of them
Maybe if you fool the best of them
They'll come around
Landing Feet First Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If our world falls down tomorrow
You be sure I'll be there with a net
To catch the pieces falling
And I was always there
And I was always there
I was always there but you just
Never knew where
[Chorus]
Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off
[Verse 2]
I've considered what It'd be like
If the ocean poured in
From both of the coasts
And we set sail to find out
Just where our boat would go
But I don't think that I'd want to know
'Cause it would just make time
So I could see your smile
With our brand new life in tow
[Chorus]
Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off
Right where we left off
[Bridge]
And if I'm on the road
For another thousand years or so
I hope you know a part of me is at home
And I traded brick for straw
In the house I built around my heart
So when you came it wouldn't be so tough
No "huff and puff" could dismantle us
No "huff and puff" could dismantle us
[Chorus]
Ay oh, ay oh, I hope you weren't waiting long
I hope this night makes up for time lost
Ay oh, ay oh, feels like I met you years ago
And we're picking up right where we left off
Right where we left off
Thankfully Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That's just like me when everything's gone wrong
To latch onto something less stable, less good
I needed an anchor for my sinking ship
It's just like me to attach it to my heart instead
[Pre-Chorus]
I think this was a test
To see how long I could hold my breath
[Chorus]
I understand, but I gotta remind myself
That even at my worst, I can keep my head
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under God
But not for long, thankfully
[Verse 2]
That's just like me when everything else fails
To go for the gold, the unattainable goals
Enough's not enough when you're beat to the floor
As if heartache's not heartache enough anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I think this was a test
To see how long I could hold my breath
[Chorus]
I understand, but I gotta remind myself
That even at my worst, I can keep my head
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under God
But not for long, thankfully
[Bridge]
When we were young, we never cared
And now we're scared of jumping in
Like we've forgotten how to swim
But if we try and if we tread
Then we can teach ourselves again
'Cause it's worth the chance we take
When we were young, we never cared
But now we're scared of jumping in
Like we've forgotten how to swim
But I think that we should try and we should tread
'Cause if we never take another dip again
We'll never know the joy that failure brings
[Outro]
I understand, but I gotta remind myself
That even at my worst I can keep my head
Alone I stand
United we fall apart
One union under God
But not for long
One union under God
But not for long, thankfully
A Rite of Passage Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cut, cut, cut, cutting myself down to pieces
Too hard on myself it would seem
That everyone could see my self-worth but me
I'll take a stand, devise plans, figure it out
I'll take my cuts and stitch them up
With sutures of pure cement and
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've realized
[Chorus]
There's no right way to go
So what if I'm a sinner?
I've got black spots on my liver
And cancer growing on both my lungs
We take everything we know
About ourselves and put them in
A diary in a fire ring
Of scrutiny, but oh, not me now
I think I'm ready to go
[Verse 2]
Back, back, back, back to the crooner in question
I sure hope you all like my songs
Well maybe I put too much stock in my rhymes
And melodies so stunning brainwashing minds
From day one I took pride in my
Pure and honest intentions
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've realized
[Chorus]
There's no right way to go
So what if I'm a sinner
I've got black spots on my liver
And cancer growing on both my lungs
We take everything we know
About ourselves and put them in
A diary in a fire ring
Of scrutiny, but oh, not me now
I think I'm ready to go
[Bridge]
And I've realized
That I don't wanna be judged no more
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've realized
[Chorus]
There's no right way to go
So what if I'm a sinner
I've got black spots on my liver
And cancer growing on both my lungs
We take everything we know
About ourselves and put them in
A diary in a fire ring
Of scrutiny, but oh, not me now
I think I'm ready to go
I think I'm ready to go
(POP)Ular Science Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nothing feels right
But my fake smiles paint pictures like everything's fine
Sheep like what they're told
So they've got spindles spinning bad songs into gold
And who decides what's wrong or right to like?
[Chorus 1]
When the puzzle pieces twist
And seem like they won't fit their match
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
All the "best" songs
What's so "best" about 'em?
[Verse 2]
I thought I was part of something more
But more money, less substance, more demand
And I've heard great songs that no one understands
You can't lay bricks on wet cement or build castles out of sand
But who decides?
[Chorus 2]
But when the puzzle pieces twist
And seem like they won't fit their match
Then I will try and try again
And hope that someone understands
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
[Bridge]
And they can say they love you
But it still won't change a thing
'Cause the tides may turn tomorrow
And I won't be there to look
I can say
I've got to say
Dollar by dollar your soul gets smaller
Trending what we fought to make ours
[Outro]
And they don't care about
They don't care
It's a good thing bad trends fade away
It's so much cooler in the shade
They don't care about
They don't care
We give in nightly to our addiction
A self-afflicted public crucifixion
They don't care about
They don't care
Dollar by dollar, your soul gets smaller
Trending what we fought to make ours
They don't care about
They don't care about
They don't care
They never cared
