I, I think you’ll be alright When you can’t get by I think you’ll get by I, I think I’ll be alright When I can’t get by I think I’ll get by Get by I, I see rocks turn purple From the side of my room Orange and yellow swirls Fade blue I’m looking for me I’m looking for you I, I think you’ll be alright When you can’t get by I think you’ll get by I, I think I’ll be alright When I can’t get by I’m going to get by I’m going to get by

Break Your Phone 01:23
lyrics
buy track
Control me You people think you own me I don’t want to know what’s in your head What’s in my head If only you’d go off to get a real job Buy a nice house, buy a nice car, buy a nice life So you’d feel alright When you get back home You don’t have to go You’ll probably never know what it feels like To take that road What would you do if I told you I don’t want to go back to church How would you feel if I told you I don’t feel how I felt I don’t want to need money Cause money makes you ugly I just want to leave it all behind and ride my bike So I’d feel alright When I get back home You don’t have to go You’ll probably never know what it feels like To break your phone

Waves 02:13
lyrics

You, you’re in my head Lying asleep on the bed You’re in my heart You, you are a brand new start Every time things fall apart You’re going to get up again When shit goes down You’re going to swim like you’ve never swam before You’re so much more than the pictures that you held onto Don’t lose the sparkle in your eyes Cause the waves are going to come up like a Proxigean spring tide When you’re gone you’ll still be alive You, you’re in my soul Wrapping your arms around my bones You won’t leave me alone You, you are the clouds in the air All the colors everywhere You are my love When shit goes down You’re going to swim like you’ve never swam before You’re so much more than the pictures that you held onto Don’t lose the sparkle in your eyes Cause the waves are going to come up like a Proxigean spring tide When you’re gone you’ll still be alive

Memories 03:34
lyrics

What happened to these memories It repeats itself all the times you spent with me In the air, you’re still there I made a note and looked back to find you standing there What lasts when life feels like it moves so fast Am I awake? Are you asleep I still feel you here each time you sing to me Longing for something more I hope I meet you there somewhere What lasts when life feels like it moves so fast What lasts when life feels like it moves so fast Memories follow me

List 02:10
lyrics
buy track
I hate when people change lanes without a blinker Or how you stopped answering my calls I hate that all my friends are different than they used to be I’m not quite sure if it’s me or not I hate those stupid bars on Cincinnati I hate that death comes so quickly To people I cared for, to people I loved I asked you a question that day But I guess it was loaded I hate when cars drive five miles under I hate that there’s this list Of all these things I complain about I’m sick of being sick of everyone I’m sick of being sick of myself God take my heart and change it God take my heart and change it I’m tired of breaking my back To feel better than I did last year And I’m sorry but I’m selfish And I won’t change for anyone I’m changing all the time

Upside Down 03:25
lyrics

No one gives a damn If you don’t have something to offer them Cut down the forests Because nothing there is stopping them Pray for something better Pray for something better We’re upside down Destroy, build, destroy We’re upside down Cut down your garden and park your car there When I fall asleep I dream of things this could’ve been We’re so obsolete Can’t sustain this place we’re living in Pray, pray, pray Pray, pray, pray We're upside down Destroy, build, destroy We’re upside down Cut down your garden and park your car there Upside down Destroy, build, destroy We’re upside Upside down Destroy, build, destroy We’re upside down

Hare or Tortoise 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I let you in The moment that you said I love you for the thing that you are I want this to be heaven Cause I’m scared there isn’t one anywhere else If it’s a race to the top I’ll finish at the bottom I’m the hare and I don’t care to beat the tortoise When all’s said and done, I’ll only leave behind a chorus So you’ll sing along and feel alright Life moves slow when you let it If there ain’t time to meet the goal don’t sweat it It’s all in your head We gotta take care of each other We gotta take care of each other If it’s a race to the top I’ll finish at the bottom I’m the hare and I don’t care to beat the tortoise When all’s said and done, I’ll only leave behind a chorus So you’ll sing along and feel alright

American Dreams 02:01
lyrics
buy track
Give me everything, it ain’t enough I need a little more love and a lot more stuff I need stacks of cash just to feel like I’m free Living life for money just to feel happy I’ve got goals and dreams, I’ve written down my needs I want to swim in warm water, not have to think About bills to pay, about mouths to feed Sacrifice my days for American dreams American dreams American schemes If that’s the price, then I’ll pay To live in a world with so much greed I, I think I’ll stay despite all the places I’d rather be What can I do to live a little less like you Where can I go where people are worth more than things you own You’re looking out for yourself but you’re just as helpless I’m looking out for myself, cause I was born selfish Take from your brother, there’s nothing other Than having it all to yourself You dealt a better hand American dreams American schemes American dreams America bleeds

I'll Leave Soon 01:50
lyrics
buy track
These streets line house by house They cover my escapes These lights shine every single night Nothing about you is real And nothing about this is real And nothing here really matters to me anyways Nothing matters to me anyways Nothing matters to me anyways So let’s go into the woods I wanna see some stars Cause this city eats up all your time And it takes your life to the grave So I won’t stay for long Yes I intend to leave Cause nothing here really matters to me anyways Nothing matters to me anyways Nothing matters to me anyways

Holiday 03:55
lyrics

Holiday A million miles away Will I go or will I stay Will I pass away Can’t conceive not to be All I know is all I see Do you see me in your dreams Learn to think to learn to look to Learn to find out that you don’t know anything Holding on Cause I can’t let things go A part of you is a part of my soul A part of me is somewhere Can’t conceive not to be All I know is all I see Do you see me in your dreams Learn to think to learn to look to Learn to find out that you don’t know anything

Colors 02:31
lyrics
buy track
You still look vulnerable to me With fighting hands for all to see While you wage war, we pray for rain I see that we don’t always see The same image on the screen But I don’t see the point of this We’re more than all the colors on your television screen I saw your face when you were standing next to me We’re more than all the shit that they’re trying to sell me I spent my money ‘cause they told me that I needed more things They don’t want to believe I don’t want to believe That nothing works, that nothing’s right If all you want is family Why do you get caught up in greed Why do you feed on one’s you love When you love yourself You start to love everyone else And when you hate, you hate, you hate, you hate We’re more than all the colors on your television screen I saw your face when you were standing next to me We’re more than all the shit that they’re trying to sell me I spent my money ‘cause they told me that I needed more things

All I Want 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Realize that you are nothing that you ever thought you were How can this be real when we feel how we feel How can I be less than anything if everything runs through my veins A piece of the puzzle, a memory of history inside of me It was your idea to think through this You’re starting to see it the way it is Don’t bother leaving cause you being is all I want Is all I want Learning how to start to be the change I want to be Some things fall apart and they do periodically I’m hoping and I’m searching just to find a way to feel better All that you need, all that you know What do you reap? What do you sow All that you need What do you reap? What do you sow It was your idea to think through this You’re starting to see it the way it is Don’t bother leaving cause you being is all I want Is all I want
