SMALL STEPS

Three months time and then the same

About 90 Days

Wether you lose your wings or you catch new wind

It takes three months, then you're back again

The bags are on the table

The veggies getting stale

I got them earlier today and I can’t complain

There were no major complications, unless you count the rain

The cashier looked at me, and it seems I didn’t leak

So turn the oven on


Turn the oven on, it’s just one step

Turn the oven on, it’s just one step

You’ve been standing here for hours, staring at the dials

If nothing’s gonna change I guess I’ll just go to bed


Three months time and then the same

About 90 Days

Wether you lose your mind or you start a New life

It lasts Three months inside

I could always just be honest unless I disappear

Would it be all I ever wanted, or the end of my career?

I can be generous and stable, so hold on, I’m nearly there

I can't think

Inside is warm

I don’t need my winter clothes

So take your jacket off


Take your jacket off and go to bed

Take your jacket off and go to bed

You’ve been walking around for days repeating what she said

And nothing’s gonna change unless you just breathe

Take your jacket off and go to bed

Take your jacket off, it’s just one step

If easy things are hard now

That’s the way they are now

But nothing's gonna change unless you take one small step


Three months time and then the same

About 90 Days

Wether your body breaks or you get your big break

It takes three months, then it feels the same


Take your jacket off and go to bed

Take your jacket off and go to bed

You’re nervous and distracted

Goin over how you acted

But nothing’s gonna change unless you just breathe


Take your jacket off and go to bed

Take your jacket off, it’s just one step

If easy things are hard now

That’s the way they are now

But nothing's gonna change unless you take one small step

STARDUST

It takes some time to realise

The traps you lay are not exclusive to your enemies

You can't control where people go

Inside, a table stretches into the horizon

Where a family sits in silence

As if it doesn't matter now


Inside the walls they're sat waiting in front of piles of star dust

Bodies made of star dust

And all the eyes are on me

I hear a voice of lost patience

Tearing all the gleam away

I'll end my days in stardust

If I don't learn from their mistakes


I step onto the stage

You take my hand and ask me not to change

You said "I'm afraid of what they'll take”


And every night it ends

I'm waking up at home

But there's salvation in the stardom

Or my mind has grown a conscience of its own

When we're lonely we can always dim the lights

Paint a new disguise and close our eyes

And there it disappears

Inside the walls I keep a journal to remind me of my fears

My ball and chain

There is life inside

But nowhere to begin

I let it out to let the stardust in


What a time to be alive…


Find the thing you love and let it crush the ones you love

At least the end is not your burden

You'll never see how much it hurts

I'm leaning in to see myself

How did I get here?

What could make me lose my focus?

My mirror image walks away


But every night I recreate

The silence in the star dust

I give my family star dust

But this is getting harder

Either its fame or it's failure

And a longing to escape

I'll end my days a godess

Or just a cautionary tale


It's running from your life

Compassion's not enough to steer me right

If they don't understand what hides inside


And every night it ends

I'm waking up at home

But there's salvation in the stardom

Or my mind has grown a conscience of its own

When we're lonely we can always dim the lights

Paint a new disguise and close our eyes

I know it can't go on

But if I stop I am reminded of what's chasing me and why I'm on the run

There is life inside

But nowhere to begin

I let it out to let the stardust in


What a time to be alive...

ARE WE EVER

He sold the air

And turned your heads

To face the other way

The first is free

Create the need

So kids say God is great

Inside the frame

We're all the same

Humanity in chains

Are we ever wide awake?


You're not your friend

You're staying in

In case you face a storm

Call emergency

Your fingers bleed

You struggle to stay warm

Inside your eyes

The dream has died

But vanity remains

Are we ever wide awake?


We’re not in control

Of whatever we’re doing

The world's tearing at the seams

Don't know what it means

I miss the way we'd just reach out and touch existence

But these days

The rules have changed

And something's in the way

Are we ever wide awake?


He stole the scene

The whitest teeth

The world has ever seen

Control their gaze

Adjust their days

Tailored to the feed

Inside the frame

We're silhouettes

To a god without a name

Are we ever wide awake?


I miss being near you with nothing between us

Our hands meet inside the frame but it's not the same

There has to be some way that we can just connect

But these days

The rules have changed

And something's in the way

Are we ever…


It's not even worth it to be awake

It's not even worth it to be awake

It's not even worth it to be awake

It's not even worth it to be awake

But these Days

The rules have changed

And something's in the way

Are we ever...

WEAKNESS

I don’t understand you

When you try to cover traces

But I understand that even when

You see life through Lennon shades

Mistakes are made

 

You spare no expense to hide your eyes

Trying to protect my life from weakness

Let go and I’ll get your story heard

One moment, a single word of weakness

 

You’re drifting off to new terrain

Inside an empty frame

A runner in a sudden game of chase

The reveries reveal restraint

Holding you down

Letting your unassuming spirit go to waste

 

Make any attempt to say you’re fine

Trying to protect my mind from weakness

Let me in and I’ll get your story heard

One moment, a single word of weakness

 

Quit trying to keep your wings concealed

The world becomes real when we let weakness in

You fight as if no-one understands

I’m fighting to prove I can let weakness in

 

Do you need attention?

Feel you need someone to save you?

When the rules are hard to understand

It’s not the end

 

If only you would get out of your head

And look into mine instead

Let weakness in

You fight as if no-one understands

I’m fighting to prove I can

Let weakness in

 

Believe in all your oddities

Believe in all your oddities

Believe in

Believe in all your oddities

Believe in

Believe in all your oddities

Believe in weakness

SILENCE

You say that you love silence

But when it’s all around

It just serves to remind you

Of every absent sound

 

And I

Where should I be going?

I guess that I’ll be heading home

The very place where silence goes to grow

 

Do you remember summer?

A daybreak in July

When the surf sang creation

And music lit the sky

 

Now

The tired sea lies silent

Never again will music shine

The sun will never rise for me alone

 

Too beautiful a harmony for such bitter aftertaste

Too late for everything but going to bed

And far too much to fall asleep

The unsung notes inside my head

Will have to go to waste

Let go of mournful melodies

Let go of mournful melodies please

 

I long for soothing voices

For whispers to resound

I remember breaking silence

Now it’s the other way around

 

And I

Have done my best to miss you

But tonight I must be selfish

Only sleep can set a menaced mind at ease

 

But I don’t want sleep to catch me

I must write in this silence

Before silence has written everything in me

 

Too beautiful a harmony for such bitter aftertaste

Too late for everything but going to bed

And far too much to fall asleep

The unsung notes inside my head

Will have to go to waste

Let go of mournful melodies

Let go of mournful melodies, please

 

I understand that silence

Will never be confined

So I’ll just keep painting pictures

Of the world you left behind

 

And I

Have done my best to miss you

But tonight I must be selfish

I have worn so many chains

The silence will persist here

With all my love and other phantom pain

 

Let go of mournful melodies

Let go of mournful melodies please

I DON'T MIND

Night in sight

At once I’m thinking too much

I’ve got my headphones on

It should be enough to still my mind

For just a little while

Let the night move in

Or the memories win

 

At the time I didn’t wanna forget it

I’ve kept it inside

Everything inside

To forget what you’ve written

Forget how I'd sit and try to go back in time 

I was fine until you suddenly didn’t mind

 

I’m not coming over tonight

 

I should not break like this

’cause somehow there’s life in crashing waves

I guess

I’m back where we were to read our names

In traces that we made

As if the past takes care

That it isn’t washed away

 

At the time I didn’t wanna forget it

I’ve kept it inside

Everything inside

To forget what you’ve written

Forget how I sit and try to go back in time

 

We drew a line that day

And made it clear where I’m not permitted

I’d rather it didn’t fade

I was fine until you suddenly didn’t mind

 

I’m not coming over

Not coming over

I’m not coming over tonight

I’m not coming over

Not coming over

I’m not coming over tonight

 

I could answer, but I’ve already said it

It’s long overdue

So I’ll decide that tonight I am done with needing you

So I’m not coming over

Not coming over

I’m 10 seconds sober

Time is all I need

So take your memories and leave

 

At the time you never wanna forget it

But here’s where it ends

I’ve come too far to let loneliness steer my life again

So I’m not coming over

Not coming over

I’m 10 seconds sober

All I need is time

Fuck your memories

I do mind

DARLING

I feel less empty when I'm with you

Less inept

I feel less empty when I'm with you

Simple as that

Not terrible to look at


So can I get an "ain't no thing"?

Make me feel that I am worth something

And sure, I doubt it's gonna be amazing

I doubt it's gonna be okay

But hey

Life is not a race


Darling, did I get your attention?

Darling, I like the way you lead me

Darling, there's a rhythm around your heartbeat

And no, I'm maybe not that into you

I know the feeling fades

But I'm addicted to the pace of my mistakes


I feel less empty when I'm with you

So i trust you to be the escape I need

Hold my hand and take the wheel

I'm better than this

I know better than this

But baby, you know I'm bad at this

And you're better at this

Much better at this

No wonder I can't resist

Hey, hey


So can I get an "ain't no thing"?

It's like you tell me that I'm worth something

And sure, I doubt it's gonna be amazing

I doubt it's gonna be okay

But hey

Life is not a race

Seeing it sideways


Darling, did I get your attention?

Darling, I like the way you lead me

Darling, there's a rhythm around your heartbeat

And no, I'm maybe not that into you

I know the feeling fades

But I'm addicted to the pace of my mistakes

You're adrenaline


Darling, did I get your attention?

Darling, just don't forget to breathe now

Darling, there's a rhythm around your heartbeat

And no, I'm maybe not that into you

I know the feeling fades

But I'm addicted to the pace of my mistakes


It doesn't matter

It doesn't matter

WATERFALLS

Your image on a page

Congratulations

Get on the plane

I know you know what’s going on

Just not a word to anyone

 

Is anyone going first?

Take a sip and gett immersed

Imitating

Perpetrating

Lesson learned

But not a word

 

I remember waterfalls

Entire bottles deep

I remember calling home

And lying, trying just to breathe

I’m stuck in waterfalls

Enticing and absurd

Sick of fights and adderrall

It’s bad and all but not a word

 

They expect it first when the dam has burst

Looking on, can’t look away

He’ll defend his son no matter what he’s done

So the mirror doesn’t break

I know you know what’s going on

Just not a word to anyone

Or else you’re gone

 

Is anyone going first?

Lost a bet to make it hurt

Imitated

Isolated

Lesson learned

But not a word

 

I remember waterfalls

Entire bottles deep

I remember calling home

And lying, trying just to breathe

I’m stuck in waterfalls

Enticing and absurd

Sick of fights and adderrall

It’s bad, I know, but not a word

 

Come back, got your back if it gets a little tight

Come back, got your back if it gets a little wild

This smack got your back if you get a little shy

If you get a little shy

Come back, got your back if it gets a little tight

Come back, got your back if it gets a little wild

This smack got your back if you get a little shy

If you get a little shy

 

I remember waterfalls

MEDICINE

If fame is the medicine

They’ll forget us in time

So why not let us enjoy it while it lasts?

Is it bad that I’m not impressed?

We’re excited and overdressed

Just like the rest

 

I’ve been up for days

Listening to my heart race

Counting the seconds as they go to waste

 

I’ve been up for days

Listening to my heart race

Tossing and turning, trying not to freeze in place

 

(I’ll try anything)

Keep running even when you feel like nothing

Keep running even when you feel like nothing

Keep runnin even when you feel like nothing

It’s never too late to chase

 

(I’ll try anything)

You’re something even when you feel like nothing

You’re something even when you feel like nothing

Sometimes you feel nothing and you feel like nothing

But you’re something either way

 

(You're something even when you feel like nothing)

If pain is the medicine     

I begin again                                                                            

Remember that every chapter has an end

(Too little, too late)                           

Is it bad that I’m not there yet?                                             

How excitement becomes regret                                         

God damn my head                                                                 

 

I’ve been up for days                                                               

Listening to my heart rate                                                     

Missing it all even more having had a taste                         

Would someone turn the page?

(Sometimes you feel nothing and you feel like nothing)                                             

I can’t expect to see

A way ahead in times like these

To think I’ll get back on my feet

Piece by piece

’Cause in all honesty

I never know what to believe

Embrace the feeling, hold it in

Or let it be

 

I’ll try anything                                                                       

(Keep running even when you feel like nothing)

Get the medicine                                                                   

Any medicine                                                                           

Any medicine, anything but this                                              

(It's never too late to feel like nothing)

 

I’ll try anything                                                                      

(You’re something even when you feel like nothing)

Get the medicine                                                                      

Any medicine                                                                            

Any medicine, anything but this

(Sometimes you feel nothing and you feel like nothing)                                  

You’re something even when you feel like nothing

Keep running even when you feel like nothing

AUTUMN

Autumn wins

A story moving on

I’m hoping to not be forgotten

When the heat is gone

 

You’re in L.A.

And your world is in a frame

Your summer estate’s under water

But what a life you made

So go on

 

Audiences

Inventing what you say

Stand at your side

Divided

 

He said it’s fake

Said that everything’s for sale

I don’t want in

I’ve tried it

 

I’m far away

Ready for autumn, gonna hibernate

Sending at thought up for September rain

To wash the waste away

 

Come rain

I’m best in autumn, come rain

Won’t be forgotten, come rain

I’m best in autumn, come rain

 

The dream you chase

Competing to be sold

As seasons change I've had it

 

So spend your days

Keeping predators engaged

I don’t want in

Don’t ask

 

I’m far away

Ready for autumn, gonna hibernate

Sending a thought up for September rain

To wash the waste away

 

It’s getting late

Me and my pride are gonna hibernate

Staying inside I’m gonna watch and wait

Keep everything away

 

Come rain

I’m best in autumn, come rain

Won’t be forgotten, come rain

I’m best in autumn, come rain

 

Come rain

I’m best in autumn, and I’m not afraid

I won’t be forgotten, come rain

I’m best in autumn, come rain

GO ON

I’ve got a hole in my head and a pain in my chest

I kinda lost it when I heard you’ve been dating

I know I gotta gotta get myself together, but a piece is gone

I’ve got a hole in my head where I once had my sanity

I fill it with excuses and B- list profanity

I’m lost, and she’s packing up and moving on

What’s going on?

Now I’m gonna get my memory gone

 

Why are you waiting?

Say that I made it

Give me center stage or I’m gone, gone, gone

Why are you waiting?

Say that I made it

Hey, hey, out of my way

I don’t have anything to do and not a clue what’s going on

 

I’ll take a hammer to the pain and chase it down the street

I’ll whine as if you don’t have a limit

I fell apart and need attention like a junkie needs a time machine

I’ll get ahold of my friend again if she’s kind enough

And hope we get a second to breathe if she’s blind enough

I lost, and she’s done great without me

What’s going on?

Now I’m gonna get my memory gone

 

Why are you waiting?

-II-

 

I’ll throw the hesitation overboard

Drink all your trust and your attention

Trust me (The room is spinning)

Just trust me (The crowd it winning)

I’m fine, fine, fine like a thread tonight

 

What’s going on?

On, nana nana

Now go on

I'm gonna -

I guess I love her 'cause she's fine and I hate it

 

Why are you waiting?

We’re celebrating

You say compassion like you mean it

And depression like you’ve seen it

Why are you waiting?

We’re celebrating

Hey, hey, please can you stay?

I need an idiot to be with, and if you can believe it

 

Say I made it

Why are you waiting?

Give me center stage or I’m gone, gone, gone

Why are you waiting?

Say that I made it

Hey, hey, out of my way

I don’t have anything to do and not a clue what’s going on
