Time to go
I put down the phone
Please don’t cry
I’m miles away
My mind’s out in space
This life can wait
Even if I’m gone a while be strong, I’ll be thinking of you, you know
And even if I never come back home, I will always love you

Starpilot

They all told me I could be anything
I tried so hard, now I’m just miserable
Aim for the stars and you’ll land on Mars
If music fails I’ll be an astronaut
But things got worse and I got blown off course
And I was lost and had to recalibrate
So I took my time, resumed my life
Despite the pain, I can see clearly now
[Chorus]
And if you could see how much I cried
Would you still think that you did what was best for me?
And if you could see inside my mind
Maybe you’d understand this is the way that it has to be
I chose my words and I still got burned
So these days I don’t even try to fit
They instilled in me, so much anxiety
It wore me out and left me deaf and dumb
Everyone I know thinks I’m just cynical
I got so tired of walking on eggshells
How you see me no longer means a thing
I’m finally free and I make no apologies

Natural State
04:23
|

|
I'm so sick of medication fucking with my emotions
So I threw it away, assumed my natural state
It turns out I'm a bastard so take back your crude assumption
That I'm doing this for attention
I never asked your opinion anyway
I've figured out your disguise
I see behind those dead eyes
Like me you walk the Earth pretending you're alive
[Chorus]
You think you know me better than I know myself because you knew me when we were younger
And you say I'm a shadow of my former self, but I'm just getting stronger
And I know that I'm on edge right now and I know you're not impressed
I haven't slept in days and I'm a mess
I'm so sorry that I hurt you, I act up when I feel see-through
I already regret saying those things that I said
I swear I didn't mean it, I'm just torn up on the inside
I'm a prisoner in my mind
hoping I can find my way back in
It keeps me guessing I suppose
Something to keep me on my toes
I try to reach out but I am just a ghost
[Chorus]
You think you know me better than I know myself because you knew me when we were younger
And you say I'm a shadow of my former self, but I'm just getting stronger
And I know that I'm on edge right now and I know you're not impressed
I haven't slept in days and I'm a mess
[Bridge]
Can't let the pressure get to me (I can feel it pull me down)
It's getting harder just to breathe (but I'm not going out like this)
And I'll never let you speak for me, you're just a voice inside my head
You'll never win
[Chorus]
You think you know me better than I know myself because you knew me when we were younger
And you say I'm a shadow of my former self, but I'm just getting stronger
And I know that I'm on edge right now and I know you're not impressed
I haven't slept in days and I'm a mess
I'm a mess x3

I'm Not Yours
03:40
|
|||
|
You've got no one left to blame
You keep calling out my name
But I'm not there, yeah I'm not there
You're like a bullet in my mouth
You took your aim and shot me down
And I'm falling, yeah I'm falling down
And I can't come back to life
You
You cannot have my soul
I'm not yours to control
I'm broken after all
So just let me go
You've got nowhere left to hide
You can't save yourself this time
So surrender and I'll spare your life
We wage war with words like stone
We tell each other where to go
And it never, yeah it never ends
So I'll say this once again
You
You cannot have my soul
I'm not yours to control
I'm broken after all
So just let me go
I'm serious this time
I'm leaving you behind
I'm moving on and I just wanted you to know
You cannot have my soul
I'm not yours to control
I'm broken after all
So just let me go

Burnt Out
03:05
|

|
Hell bent on self-destruction, flying too close to the sun
The wax melts, now you understand that you’re about to crash-land
[Chorus]
Did you think that the world would be better without you?
Or did you sink, hoping for the water to drown you?
So burnt out and feeling like no one understands you
Just don’t look down cause Jesus isn’t coming to save you
You have to save yourself
Disaster, running out of time
It’s not too late to hit rewind
Turn back the clock and change your mind
Decide to take a chance on life

Here's to Romance
03:51

Here’s to the system
Here’s to the best
I don’t know how it works but I know it’s built to last
Take what they give you
Hold out your hand
There might not be much left but I won’t care when I’m dead
[Chorus]
Here’s to romance and may God rest his soul
They just don’t make them like this anymore
Here’s to the human pyramid up which we climb
If you wanna get shit done you’ve gotta leave a few behind
Hey! Take it easy!
Don’t get upset
I’ve got my country house and you’ve got your debt
Shame on the beggar, cold and afraid
Fuck you for not being handed everything on a plate
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Here’s to romance and may God rest his soul
They just don’t make them like this anymore
Here’s to the human pyramid up which we climb
If you wanna reach the top you’ve gotta leave a few behind
Here’s to romance and may God rest his soul
They just don’t make them like this anymore

Slow Down There, Cowgirl
02:57
|
|||
|
You’ve been subjected to disrespect and you’re pissed
But do you really wanna do this?
And you’re not useless but you can’t do this alone
And you’re a long, long way from home
[Chorus 1]
Slow down there, cowgirl
This is not your fight
I know you’re only standing up for what’s right
Your body’s shaking
You’ve got that look in your eye
And I think I know what you have in mind
It’s just not worth it
You will get hurt if you fight back
You know they only wanna see you react
[Chorus 2]
Slow down there cowgirl
Let em have their fun
Just let em laugh it up and think that they’ve won
Just walk away and you’ll find
You’ll get home safe tonight
There is no shame in knowing when to pick your fights
You won’t remember in a year or so
[Chorus 3]
Slow down there, cowgirl
I know that you’re strong
And you don’t have to prove it to anyone
[Chorus 4]
Slow down there, cowgirl
Don’t let em see you cry
This will be over in the blink of an eye

Bonfires

They told you (that) you were perfect so you never had to sing a different song
Made fun of those who weren't like you while other kids stood by and cheered you on
You fit in here, a sense of self that stops you moving on
You still obstinately cling to every misbelief you held since you were young
There's a difference between moving out and running away
And I don't see how you leaving now will solve anything
But I know you've got your reasons so goodbye
Nothing I can say could make it right
[Chorus]
Cause whatever you think I said, you're probably right
And whatever you think I did, you're probably right
I could not convince you if I tried
There's a distance between here and where I thought I'd end up
But I'm scared to take that leap of faith, I'd just fuck it up
But I'll rewrite this 100,000 times
Keep on fucking up until I get it just right
[Chorus]
Cause whatever you think I said, you're probably right
And whatever you think I did, you're probably right
I could not convince you if I tried
[Bridge]
They told you (that) you were worthless but you never took it out on someone else
So desperate for anyone to love you cause you could not love yourself
And they abused you, then tried to tell you it was all your fault
Then you looked inside and realised that you were never broken after all
There's a difference between moving out and running away
And I don't see how you leaving now will solve anything
But I know you've got your reasons so goodbye

I’m aware that you don’t know me
But this is you at age 23
I remember all the days of feeling numb
Looking up from the bottom
You refuse to eat but you don’t know why
It’s because you want to die
And you don’t know if you’re trying to hold on or just disappear completely
And I know that you’re not well and the future looks like hell
And happiness seems completely out of reach
But I promise you’ll be fine and the pain will fade with time
But the people that I’ve left behind still haunt me
[Chorus]
So to whom it may concern:
I’m not about to break
Cause each and every day
I will make mistakes
And I know that I’ve done wrong but it’s all behind me now
I’m sorry that I let you down
To whom it may concern
Despite how far I’ve come
The distance I have gone
I’m still not who I want to be
I know you’re tired and think no one understands
But just take ten more steps to me and you’re home
To whom it may concern:
I’m not about to break
Cause each and every day
I will make mistakes
And I know that I’ve done wrong but it’s all behind me now
I promise that I’ll make you proud
To whom it may concern
I’m aware that you don’t know me
But this is you at age 23

I Demand Trial By Combat
04:55

Sit and bark at my reflection
Never looking past my eyes
My life is falling down around me
I'm choosing not to realise
Please don't look behind the curtain
We are happier that way
We sit and bark at our reflections
Never questioning our place
It's a shame
Have you ever felt so worthless?
Wishing you were someone else?
Happiness won't give you purpose
It's OK to hate yourself sometimes
Where was love when my world came falling down?
Saved myself but sometimes I wish I'd drowned
Ain't a song in the world that can save me now
I'm too far gone
Cause I've tried but I just don't feel the same
I think it's time that I up and walked away
Before I burn every bridge I've ever made
Time to go
Looking back this is no goddamn surprise
I should have known you were behind me this whole time
I turn around and stare deep into your eyes
And turn to stone
And as the cold feeling creeps towards my heart
I don't regret this, I loved you from the start
I try to say "I forgive you" but I can't
I've turned to stone
And if you could see how much I cried
Would you still think that you did what was best for me?
And even if I never come back home
I will always love you, you know
And even if I'm out here on my own...
I will never let you go

If this is a nightmare then wake me cause I’m scared
I wanted to be there
I would scream but I can’t
I am the mayor of the ghost town that I have rebuilt
I was a fool when I thought that I wanted this
This castle that I built is now a prison and I
I’ve become the one that’s trapped inside
[Chorus]
We tried to make our way, we just got left behind
You tried to make my day, I said “at least you tried”
I had to let you go instead of wondering
I ruined this just like I ruin everything
You don’t have to go down with this ship that I’m on
So get to the lifeboats and cast off while you can
We are the captains of our own journeys over the edge
We are the masters of our passion as it falls off a cliff
These are the years where we’re supposed to make something of ourselves
But it’s no good, we’ve been run into the ground
Is it way too high?
Is it way too low?
Does it even matter at all?
