Always the Same

Feeling like it’s always the same
Ride my bike in-between these trolley lanes
Man, I haven’t seen you in days and days and days
Can I delete the ego that I create
Looking at my phone just feels like a waste
Watch me while I throw time away, away, away
I lie to myself saying that I’ve figured this out
I get high by myself and play another beat on my drums
Is life all we’ve got? Then what are we living for
I want to go hike somewhere I’ve never been before
No place left to park my van
Sold my car so I could travel with friends
Damn, I’m out of money again, again, again
I lie to myself saying that I’ve figured this out
I’m going to get high all by myself and play another beat on my drums
Is life all we’ve got? Then what are we living for
I want to go hike somewhere I’ve never been before
I lie to myself saying that nothing’s wrong
Can I find myself if I’ve been here all along
I try my best but it never feels like enough
I want to ride my bike across town tonight

Let Me Down
01:39
|
|||
|
Back at where we began
The world’s still spinning but we’re not moving
Put your oil in our water, spray your tear gas in the air
What you see is what you know
When you have everything can you still see people hurt
Solicitation is a crime, sign your name down on the line
Run and hide
Ain’t no time like your time
The earth ain’t big enough
This life ain’t long enough
To fix the mess we put in place
As much as I have faith
You still won’t change
You pick me up to let me
Can’t slow down
All around me
Everybody
Wants to forget it
Can you cure it
If you desert it
Try and convert it
Nothing is worthless
If you buy it
If you try it
Run and hide it
Stay inside

I Can See Heaven
01:57
|

|
Baby, when ya coming home
I can see heaven
When we’re on the phone
I can see heaven
Unarmed, attacked
Does it make you feel better to see me so bitter
When it all comes back
The days are moving slow
And I can sleep forever
When I’m feeling kind of low
I can run forever
Want to hold you in my arms
Take you by the hand
Make you fall in love again
Make you fall in love again
Show you things you’ve never seen
Give you everything
Sing our favorite melodies
Sing our favorite melodies
Waiting forever
Bad weather always seems to come at the worst time
I want you to feel better
But I can’t read your mind
Baby, I want to make things right
I can see heaven
Think about you day and night
I can see heaven

Cosmos
03:22
|

|
I believe in something
But I don’t want to call it god
I sacrifice my obligation
When you compromise the truth
While you spread your ideals
The world falls apart
You’re pulling us apart
Pulling us apart
Pulling us apart
Selling land to make a living
They say we can share the wealth
While they hoard all the riches
And then throw away the earth
While you tell me who to be
All I see is more hypocrisy
You sound so good when you speak
Sound so good when you speak
You sound so good when you speak
Don’t lose your mind
When it’s all that you can change
If we could talk
I think it’d be a better place
We are the same
We all feel the same pain
We are tired of war
We are tired of hate

Temporary
02:32
|
|||
|
Sitting in my room, I hear cars pass by
You were once here too, I guess everything is temporary
Wonder where I’d be if you didn’t leave
Are you really me
Streetlights led me home when I realized I was free
I’m not old but I’m older than I want to be
Couldn’t see a thing underneath it all
I see peace like a light at the end of a tunnel
It feels so long
Since I’ve been here
It feels so strange to be back home
It feels so sad to see you gone
It feels so strange (temporary)
Carson and I started our first band
Javi and I went on our first tour together
My dad and I used to talk on the phone
Everyone has their time and then they go

Baby, You're Fine
01:59
|
|||
|
These nights out with you
I wish I could talk right now over everybody else
I know you can’t hear me speak
But if I could tell you what I think
I’d say
Baby, you’re fine
Baby, you’ll find out
What’s been bugging you
What’s in front of you
You know I’ve been there too
I have nothing but love for you
If you’d let me talk to you
I’d say
Baby, you’re fine
Baby, you’re finally
Becoming the thing you’re supposed to be
Life is tragedy but you don’t have to feel so bad
Baby, you’re fine
You don’t have to be afraid of anything

Wishful Thinking
03:24
|
|||
|
Give me a reason to stay
Holy book says obey
Say you love me and tell me you’re running away
Did you think that I would miss you when you left
Love is just a word and words don’t calm you down
When you’re freaking out
There’s a demon in me
There’s one in you
Scream and shout till I pass out and become brand new
Did you think that you could cure me with your faith
God is just the thought of everything
Nobody is listening to you
I always wished you were dead
Go to sleep, go to bed
On the floor with a bullet inside of your head
I guess this is goodbye, dad
I wish I could have loved you

Unwind
01:49
|
|||
|
I see
Right through
You’re already there swimming in my head
Unwind
Take your time
Enjoy life
Running
I feel
Apart of it all
I’m still swimming in your hair
Unwind
I need more time
Don’t wanna die
Forget
Your own skin
Everything is ending and starting again
Conscious of ourselves
Like nothing else

(Never) Coming Home
05:24
|
|||
|
It’s not so bad
Riding my bike outside
The world’s depressed, I don’t know why
We trade our dreams for what they want
Are we free or are we stuck?
Do I have to get a job?
I think I’d rather sleep outside
Hike and read and create art
What I don’t need I won’t buy
I never wanted what you advertised
A pile of things meant to satisfy
A consciousness unanalyzed
I’m coming home
I’m never coming home again
Living in walls
We decorate with what we own
Do you feel safe when you’re alone?
In my bad dreams I’m in your home
Are we chasing what we really want?
When we die are we really gone?
I ate the fruit they said would banish me
And saw the good inside humanity
I’m coming home
I’m on my way
I’m coming home
I’m never coming home again
Sell your soul for what they say and promise you
We’re the same but honestly, I’m glad I’m not you
Consciously unconscious
Armored to the core of what you hid away
Is it hard to breathe with all that weight?
Holding on another day

Landlocked
04:48
|
|||
|
Let go
Of what you’ve been letting control
All your dreams and your goals
Give yourself your life
Explore new things
Question authority
Seek harmony
Put away your phone
Landlocked and looking for water
Trying to get out of this bubble
To free myself from all the bullshit drama
I throw myself against the wall
Against the war they made
Against our consciousness
Do you control
What’s inside of you
Drive out west
Sleep outside instead
Free your head
From what’s been harming you
All alone
All is one
All we are is beating on a drum
Floating in a wave underwater
Listening to breezes in the air
The world is our creator and our mother
God does not exist inside a book
Inside a book
I feel you there
There is meaning in this life
Creating space to redefine
The thoughts that we let take over our minds
To free myself I go outside
I go outside

Say Goodbye
01:00
|
|||
|
Running back for more
Just like I knew you would
Turning yourself to rubble
Just to feel good
I know I’m not right
But I’d like to think I am
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
I never am
Burn your eyes to live again
It takes some time to fit in
Can I learn to be myself
Can I be somebody else
Say goodbye and live

Information Age
03:46
|

|
Streetlights, where are you
What do you see
I see the moon
Seeing the world away from you
On my bed
Wherever I decide to sleep
I wish you were there
On my bed
No more space for the objects we create
I want to let go
The information age didn’t give us what we need
Time to change
Waking from a dream
This city breathes
I hold my breath, listening
For a vision we haven’t seen
Who are we
If we refuse to show empathy
Look in the mirror
Who are we
We know but we don’t want to change
We change but we don’t want to know
We know but we don’t want to change
You know but you don’t want to know
Oh there ain’t no place left to go
We know but we don’t want to know
Oh I know but I don’t want to change
We change but we don’t want to know
No more space for the objects we create
I want to let go
The information age didn’t give us what we need
Time to change
No more hate, no more
No more shame, no more
No more fear, no more
No more greed, no more
No more doubt, no more
No more regret, no more

Half Asleep on the Floor
05:50

Shadow
I saw you there
You’re in the yard
No cars anywhere
I woke up in bed
Cause your broken head
Controls everything
Clover, come back home
Onward to explore
Our backyard
I don’t see anyone
Clover, come back home
You tore up the screen door
Mom
What is death
Will I live forever
Will I suffer
Clover, come back home
You tore up the screen door
We heard thunder roar
Half asleep on the floor
