Secret Getaway
02:41
|
|||
I am everything and nothing at the same time
We are one, it's divine
Let's go down deeper than roots under the trees
And dig back up the time capsule we buried
Going back to a secret getaway
And I just wanna say
The sunlight hits your face just right
We'll never expire
We're like fire and water
Balanced on both sides
So I'm convinced we're a perfect fit
At the perfect time
I think I've known you for lifetimes
Let's catch up over coffee
'Cause this time, we don't have to hide
We don't have to hide
We don't have to hide
Going back to a secret getaway
And I just wanna say
The sunlight hits your face just right
We'll never expire
Now we're getting older
I don't feel any taller
I know that I've grown stronger
As I'm taking off my armor
With you, I've never felt so safe
Going back to a secret getaway
And I just wanna say
The sunlight hits your face just right
We'll never expire
(We'll never expire)
(We'll never expire)
(We'll never expire)
(We'll never expire)

Floating
02:53
|
|||
Floating through the atmosphere
Weightless in the empty air
And on the ground
The people shout
But I can't hear their words
From up here
Time becomes irrelevant
When you're making the most of it
And what a waste
It would be
To live a life of certianty
So I will try to stay in this moment
Stay in this moment
On a cloud I catch my breath
Only to drift up again
(Up again)
Shake it off
Or push it down
Just to rise again somehow
Following the sky
And its movement

Moderation
02:33
|

Laying on the Milky Way
Where all my fears melt away
An ego death
My body left my brain
Fading in and out
When no one is around
Can't stand the quiet
Turn the radio up loud
And if I'm being honest
I'm not good at moderation
I give more than I'm taking
Every time
And I hate small talk conversation
Let's skip to the part
Where you pour your heart
On the pavement
You know I can take it
Love the way I trace the stars
Feeling high until I'm not
One moment you are here
The next I'm gone
So keep me in the letters
That you never sent
Some things are better left unsaid
And if I'm being honest
I'm not good at moderation
I give more than I'm taking
Every time
So keep me in the letters
That you never sent
Some things are better left unsaid

Lucid Dream
02:53
|
|||
I was driving down the road
In a car that I don't own
And suddenly I lose control
Of the steering wheel
I float back to my bed
Where I regain consciousness
Guess it was all in my head
A sleep paralysis
And as you whispered softly
Put your arms around me
You said tomorrow I'll see
None of this is real
When you called me
Early in the morning
Never felt so lonely
Without you here
When I wake up
Slowly drift away from
Everything I dreamed of
I watch you disappear
I've been taking your advice
When I can't fall asleep at night
I close my eyes and think about a happy place
And I go back to the beach
Where I fly over the trees
And I don't wanna leave
I think I'll stay right here
But we can't spend all our nights
In a time machine
I need you to let go of me
When you called me
Early in the morning
Never felt so lonely
Without you here
When I wake up
Slowly drift away from
Everything I dreamed of
I watch you disappear
I'm stuck in this lucid dream
And I wanna wake up
And even though I meet you here
It's never real enough
Wake up in a haze
To fog rolling through my windowpane
When you called me
Early in the morning
Never felt so lonely
Without you here
When I wake up
Slowly drift away from
Everything I dreamed of
I watch you disappear
I watch you disappear

Painted Masks
02:38
|

I told you I wasn't scared to die
You said,
"Why don't you tell me the truth?"
I thought that I would tear you apart
But I never got the chance to
I saw the light on the seventh floor
And I floated up to that room
And I found the key
That was stolen from me
Tucked under the rug by your shoes
And I don't trust you anymore
I don't trust you anymore
I walked in a room
Full of people I knew
This time I pulled back the blinds
They smiled and laughed
Under painted masks
Making small talk
To pass the time
And in this dream
They were beckoning me
Saying, "You really should stay"
But I had to leave
This fever dream
Or I'd still be asleep
When I'm awake
And are you content where you are?
Are you content where you are?
'Cause now I'm not sure

Illusion
02:39
|

Only for tonight
I want to feel alive
Could you open up my mind?
Read between the lines
I want you by my side
Though I know it isn't right
And I cannot pretend
That this is making sense
But you're stuck inside my head
Breaking through illusion
Nothing left to prove
I'm just sitting in my room
The cards that we've been dealt
I have always felt
Like I want you to myself
If only you knew
The way I feel with you
Breaks me open, and now I see the truth
Walking in the door
Falling to the floor
It's quarter after 4
You're lying through your teeth
When you say it's only me
I see right underneath your tongue
Breaking through illusion
Nothing left to prove
I'm just sitting in my room
The cards that we've been dealt
I have always felt
Like I want you to myself
I cannot repeat
These patterns I perceive
The lesson was for me
If only you knew
The way I feel with you
Breaks me open, and now I see the truth
Breaking through illusion
Nothing left to prove
I'm just sitting in my room
The cards that we've been dealt
I have always felt
Like I want you to myself

9-5
02:03
|

Seeing myself in strangers faces
Walking down the street
Our eyes meet only for a moment
Into the ground we see
But I'm still chasing visions of
The vivid underground
Something creeps through the silence
What do we make of it now?
Every smile is slightly crooked
Few and far apart
Stuck in the 9-5 routine
They say, "we must all do our part"
But I'm not one for second chances
Why should I waste my time?
Running through days of empty reason
Only hoping for a sign

YAHAMA POP BOI
02:54

I see figures of you
That float through my room
And walk out the door
Stuck on the edge of madness
Will it come back?
Well now I'm not sure
Creeps in quiet to kill you
When you stay still
Are you getting bored?
And when you're falling asleep
Do you dream of the things
You choose to ignore?
Into the oblivion
I'm ready to let go
There's no turning
Back from here
This I already know
Can't keep moving
With the tide
I'm ready to let go
How should I stay comfortable
If we are meant to grow?
I'll rearrange the mirrors
Into a clearer view than before
Looking into yourself
Do you seem to melt
From your human form?
Staring back at your shadow
Breathing is shallow
Counting your steps
And waking up in your bed
With regret, can't pretend
You try to forget
Into the oblivion
I'm ready to let go
There's no turning
Back from here
This I already know
Can't keep moving
With the tide
I'm ready to let go
How should I stay comfortable
If we are meant to grow?
