Breathe In

Spend my mornings with the dead
Trying to quiet my own head
I do this everyday, the passionately way
I’m sorry that I can’t forget the things
That keep me awake yeah I tried everything
Swear I want this thing to work
Said, "I’d give up anything this comes first."
But I never said that all
I just breathe in block out
Make space breathe out
Just breath in, block out
Fill the space with breathing out
I’m afraid that I can’t
Cross my heart and hope to die
Or just breathe in block out
and make space and keep
breathing out
Breathe in, block out
fill the space with breathing out
"I've got it all figured out"
But I never said that at all

Nothing Special

know what I want
know what I need
know what I want
no one can take it from me
to live in the sun
in a house by the sea
with the ones I love,
no one relying on me
everyone smiling at me
I’ve got the vision laid out for me
time to do and not just be
just make a move,
at least unfreeze
not a million bucks
could satisfy my dreams
I just gotta believe
I don’t want to be easily confused with all those
other people who say things but don’t do them
I just want to do things
I don’t want to say things,
that I don’t mean
I don’t want to look back
and say that used to be me.
I want to be the only me
always told me I was special
but I fade right in.
strange beginnings
same in the end
I don’t want to be easily confused with all those
other people who say things but don’t do them
I don’t want to be easily confused with all those
other people who say things but don’t do them
don't do them
I just want to do things
don't want to just say things.

Celebrate

bad habits and misplaced keys
years ago we didn’t dream these things
we had hoped we’d have it all but
tomorrow always comes before today is gone
(today is gone)
found something so close to home
excused the parts we denounced before
learned how to tie ourselves in
and we haven’t moved an inch not since then
(not since then)
and honestly we’ll never reach “the thing” before the end
so let's take today and celebrate while we can
it’s terrible sunlight,
it’s bearable rain
relief from the pressure's rising
of having a dream
it's far better to not complain
we’re comfortable and happier than we’ve ever been
we’ve heard “there’s no time to waste!”
but we’ve got 20 thousand days
so let’s use them how we please not all
will end up perfectly if not
oh well why should we care
tomorrow always comes, there’s days to spare
and honestly we’ll never reach “the thing” before the end
so let's take today and celebrate while we can
let’s take today and celebrate it with all our friends
let’s take today and celebrate it before it ends

No One Else

9 am, simple things again
all alone in this house for now
so I strum some chords
I try to think, I try to sing
maybe this’ll help
maybe this’ll be my big break
I wish I could hear myself
would i understand myself?
I wanna take a day off
but no one else does (no one else does)
I wanna say what I mean
but no one else does (no one else does)
feel like I’m going insane
but no one else is
and it’s never gonna change
if it’s never gonna change
it’s never gonna change
it’s never gonna change
why do I stay?
why do I stay?
why do I stay?
(no one else does)
feel like I'm going insane
no one else is
and it's never gonna change
so if that day comes
and things start to turn around
finally hear myself in the way you'd hear me
I'd understand why you stay or why you leave
and I’d do the same and it’d be okay
feel like I'm going insane but no else is
and it’s never gonna change

Niagara
03:12

there is a lonely river winding slowly to the sea
through all the changing, rising, falling
it will not cease to be
no it will not cease to be
I can look behind at all it took to come around
I made it this far only to realize there’s nowhere left but down
there’s nowhere left but down
there’s nowhere
there’s nowhere left but down
and we walked, but it was cold out
and it was cold, but we walked out
and it was good to see Niagara
and it was good to finish something
I am a tiny tiger and she’s bringing out the best in me
we are all the other has and we’re all we’ll ever need
we’re all we’ll ever need
we’re all we’ll ever need
and we walked, but it was cold out
and it was cold, but we walked out
and it was good to see Niagara
and it was good to finish something
to finish anything
am I just a liar?
am I just a poison seed?
I made it this far only to realize
I bleed mediocrity
