Giving Up the Ghost 02:31
lyrics
buy track
I guess I still have more to say Can't get out of my own way Or learn from yesterday No, it's too late to walk away Follow through on what you say No one cares about that anyway Oh, the irony Is not lost on me All the memories They remind me It won't be long Before we're gone So we try our best To be somebody So unique Like everybody We had some good years but they're over now Been trying to let it go but don't know how So are we giving up the ghost? Is that how our story goes? I hope to figure it out somehow

Living the Dream, Baby 04:33
lyrics

Do you remember the time We were living our lives And we wanted a taste of everything There was always a line There was wrong, there was right There was clarity, now we don't know a thing Who knows How low We'll go Oh no As we contemplate death Make the most of what's left Take another deep breath, take it day by day We're the same, more or less Try to hope for the best And find comfort in things that we can't explain I don't know What I don't know Spent too much time alone What's wrong with me Anytime I feel that darkness coming over me I tell everybody that Everything is going to turn out fine But it's a lie I'm positive it's time to be done with negativity Can't fool anybody Trying to convince myself we're fine 'Til it's over now Living the dream, baby, living the dream We're just trying to make it through the day Saying everything will be okay If you believe it you can be it or so they say Yeah you laugh when you cry Cuz you're doing just fine There's no reason or rhyme So you're sad all the time There's too much on your mind Try to keep it inside And you can't figure why Just keep living a lie And it's so messed up Could use a little luck Was hard enough as it was But we can't give up

NO FOMO 05:26
lyrics

We spent our days and our nights pretending that We had it all figured out But now those days are over And you're feeling down and out All of your dreams and your thoughts are clouded By desires that consume you now Everything's determined By the fear of missing out I'm trying to be Thankful and content with what's in front of me Thinking that we want it and Saying that we need it Oh, what a stupid game we play You've got everything you need already No matter what you say Everyone says Time is running out My innocence is over I have no fear of missing out I still believe It's all a masquerade to keep at bay anxieties Everybody's chasing To keep themselves from facing Whatever's their reality I can't say that I blame them The same thing's haunting me It's weighing on my mind Getting darker all the time Yeah, it's heavy on my mind Getting darker all the time I want it so I say I need it I need it so I went and got it I got it cause I said I need it But I'm not feeling any different Everything will be okay Just let it wash away

Are We OK? 04:36
lyrics

We've been so worried 'bout tomorrow I should have focused on today I've noticed something's different Like there's something in our way You've been looking like you're hiding Something that you want to say Everything is complicated What did I say Should I worry about our future Is there something that you want to say Are we okay Are we okay I don't pay enough attention I don't say what I should say I keep going through the motions Everyday Taking you for granted Is not a game I'm trying to play Are we okay Are we okay I promise I'm just trying to do what's right Self-conscious and frustrated every night We're acting like this started overnight I promise I'm not going down without a fight I don't mean to be so jaded I don't mean to pull away I'm sorry that I kept you waiting Another day Taking you for granted Is not a game I'm trying to play Are we okay Are we okay Never want to be your burden Never want to spoil your day Never want to be the one who Gets in your way Everything is complicated So I hope this sets the record straight We'll be okay We'll be okay

A Lifeless Ordinary 03:56
lyrics

We got our hopes up once again Anticipating good news Optimism strikes again Hopeful but can't follow through Don't want to spend another day Looking for something to do Even though we've lost our faith Praying is all we can do We want a life less ordinary We hope these fears are temporary Now in this lifeless ordinary Nothing means anything It all stays the same We want a life less ordinary We hope these fears are temporary Now in this lifeless ordinary It's all the same And when all is said and done What did we learn, what did it prove I don't know if anyone Will be able to tell you No, there's nowhere to go And there's nothing to do So we try to find something to look forward to All distractions are gone Yeah, it's sad but it's true And there's no end in sight so we just gotta power through It's getting better Can't last forever, it's just a 'nother storm to weather, we're In this together We want a life less ordinary We hope these fears are temporary Now in this lifeless ordinary Nothing means anything It all stays the same We want a life less ordinary We hope these fears are temporary Now in this lifeless ordinary Nothing means anything It all stays the same It's getting better Can't last forever, it's just a 'Nother storm to weather, we're In this together

Promise 05:36

You have my eyes And a handful of other traits I recognize But try to hide I can't imagine what you feel inside It's not easy to square this circle or rectify What's in your mind Growing up is hard enough I know you feel like giving up Don't be so hard on yourself If you go astray Get lost on your way I promise I will catch you Whenever you fall 'Til you find your way I'm right here to stay I hope you carry these words Wherever you go Wherever you go I know it's hard to take advice You're acting like you're cold as ice I get it, what do I know I see myself in you That should explain why I'm so hard on you Just trying to spare you all that I've been through Be some help to you In spite of everything I've done wrong All wrong Never run away It won't go away Cuz your fears will chase you Wherever you go Wherever you go When you're old and all grown up I'm sure you'll question every single choice we made You know I can relate I did my best, yeah I did my best To teach you all that I know It's so hard to let you figure it out on your own Was it enough Was it too much Was I enough Or not enough If you go astray Get lost on your way I promise I will catch you Whenever you fall 'Til you find your way I'm right here to stay I hope you carry these words Wherever you go If you go astray Get lost on your way I promise I will catch you Whenever you fall 'Til you find your way I'm right here to stay I hope you carry these words Wherever you go I remember all those sleepless nights Never knowing if I could raise you right I can't save you from yourself, unless Let me help you, I promise I'll do my best I remember all those sleepless nights Never knowing if I could raise you right I can't save you from yourself, unless Let me help you, I promise I'll do my best

Race to the Bottom 03:51
lyrics

Maybe I'm not the man I thought I'd be It seemed so easy It's getting harder to believe in me Lost all my youthful naivety I'm sorry if I don't seem right But I'm not sorry for apologizing And when I try to fight the fight I always end up compromising I say I want to treat you right But actions are what will define me And so I wake up every night Just making sure that you are still beside me Could have been better Could have tried harder Could have gone further If I was a little smarter Could have been better Could have tried harder Could have gone further If I was a little smarter Regrets Oh, I've got 'em I'm just another horse In this race to the bottom I'm sorry if I don't seem right But I'm not sorry for apologizing And when I try to fight the fight I always end up compromising I say I want to treat you right But actions are what will define me And so I wake up every night Just making sure that you are still beside me I'm sorry if I don't seem right But I'm not sorry for apologizing And when I try to fight the fight I always end up compromising I say I want to treat you right But actions are what will define me And so I wake up every night Just making sure that you are still beside me Could have been better Could have tried harder Could have gone further If I was a little smarter

Phoenix by sunset Live fast, die young, no regrets You want it in the worst way Carpe diem, sieze the day And I wonder Why are we racing What are we racing towards Yeah I wonder why What the hell is it for We're still trying to live an impossible dream Oooh, it doesn't matter to me We're all going to the same place No sense rushing, this is not a race Just take it at your own pace We'll get there when we get there We'll get there when we get there We can walk We can run We can ride Into the sun Just keep living your life We'll get there when we get there Yeah we'll get there when we get there But time after time I get caught up in the riptide of life And I'm drowning but it's fine Yeah, I've made up my mind That I'm done wasting time, on paradigms Ob-la-di, ob-la-da Yeah we're all gonna die, and it's alright It's all right We're all going to the same place No sense rushing, this is not a race Just take it at your own pace We'll get there when we get there We'll get there when we get there We can walk We can run We can ride Into the sun Just keep living your life We'll get there when we get there Yeah we'll get there when we get there

All is Well (As It Can Be) 04:22
lyrics

Confessing all To everyone I may be wrong But I don't know Wasting energy To find myself Is all I know I'm confident It will make sense When we look back on all that we should have done Until then I feel numb What can be done Been up all night Can't get it right Youth is wasted on the young We're still not having any fun Looking out for number one Forever and ever and ever Now, you've seen The true side of me Bared my soul For you to judge me Yes, I know The truth is ugly But all of these feelings have stopped me from feeling How do you feel About who you are Are you untrue To who you are Try to be real Won't get very far How do you feel Fake it 'til you make it or just be who you are All is well as it can be It's just not what you had thought it'd be Same for me It's so revealing What we're concealing Does all that you're feeling prevent you from feeling Don't want to be numb Like this anymore All is well as it can be It's just not what you had thought it'd be Same for me It's so revealing What we're concealing Does all that you're feeling prevent you from feeling Don't want to be numb Like this anymore

Waking Up From the American Dream 04:53
lyrics
buy track
Hypnotized Spreading lies Fueled by anger from the other side And I wonder If seeing eye to eye Is possible tonight When everyone's blinded by what they think is Right Or left There's no telling What's coming next I'm just hoping It's not as bad as it seems It's been a nightmare Waking up from the American Dream How can we mend what's broken When we can't agree on facts This ignorance emboldened Ran the train right off the tracks It's overwhelming And I think that we'd all agree That truth hurts And one plus one is three So you be you and I'll be me Maybe someday we'll agree Until then What's the point in trying to make you see It's been a nightmare Waking up from the American Dream
