Over It
03:59

It’s hard to be you, but I’m here to see this through. I wanna be your friend once again.
I don’t stop and wonder why I don’t wanna see a good thing die. I wanna be your friend once again.
I’ll make it up to you, but this dance, it takes two, but in the end we’re fine, we’re fine.
Because we’re over it let me say it ya we’re over it. Over it let me say it this’ll be the last time this’ll be the last time (whoa)
I was never there on time, and that’s a fault I’ll make all mine. I need to understand to lend a hand.
I gotta say it feels so free now that I know who I’ve got to be. I gotta be your friend once again.
I’ll make it up to you, but this dance, it takes two,
but in the end we’re fine, we’re fine (whoa)
Over it let me say it ya we’re over it. Over it let me say it this’ll be the last time this’ll be the last time (whoa)
I keep looking for the things to say to you. We used to talk like every day we tied a knot and then it frayed. I dont wanna talk like that ‘cause it's not that bad looking back just makes me sad.
You’re supposed to be my friend, I’m supposed to be your friend too. Let’s not act like it's that bad I guess there's nothing to say but “i'm here for you!”
Because we’re over it let me say it ya we’re over it. Over it let me say it this’ll be the last time this’ll be the last time
Well it’s hard to say goodbye, and it’s hard to not wanna try. You’ll have to see this through. You know I’m doing this for you. Yeah
Because we’re over it let me say it ya we’re over it. Over it let me say it this’ll be the last time this’ll be the last time (Whoa)

Feather

You know I should know better. I never plan for the weather (no) but what else do I need to know? I try to float like a feather, but I got the world weighing me down, it’s like I never ever left the ground, and then you say: “well picture this one day you’ll start all over, become divergent from the former.” You know I wanna be one of them. One of them who get right out from under, like “what’s that all about?” I wonder, will I ever be one of them?
One of these days maybe youlll catch me, releasing the things (the things that got me so low) singing aloud “maybe I got this right after all.” But until then, say “how you feelin?” Defeated, I mean it, I need to forget it. You know I’ll never be one of them, no.
Well I know you, and you know me too, so why don’t we know what to do? I just wanna feel alright for awhile, I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know how to do that.

Sanity
04:27
|

Have you ever woke up one day and you didn’t know who in the world you were. You’re bad, it’s kinda sad, but you pull through as your life’s turned in over the tide, you no longer hide this endless running away (hey) someone’s gotta pay but I don’t want you to come right out and play.
Forget that verse, slip on your converse, run around the clock until it gets worse. The plain times, the plain rhymes, sit back and watch the fake lightbulb shine.
And I said (wayo) where did my sanity go? (I don’t know, I don’t know) and I said (wayo) where did my sanity do? I don’t know again.
So there you are, you wanna be a star, I can’t see your vision you won’t get very far. That’s okay, you’re getting paid anyway. I wonder what your mom and dad say? I bet they’re proud, I bet they’re stoked. Just wait ‘til you tell them you’re done and broke.
Oh! Breakin’ it down, gonna turn your frown upside down. We got the beat that flips your seat and makes you dance around. It’s really somethin’, imagine nothin’, you’d be dancin on the street without a beat and I would just be talking nonsense. Like I’m just talking on this beat and I don't make sense. I dont know what im sayin! Imma pass it off to my friends they can sing a melody that lyrically i cant repeat yeah!
And I said (wayo) where did my sanity go? (I don’t know, I don’t know) and I said (wayo) where did my sanity do? I don’t know again.

Wavebreaker
03:39
|

Let the wind take you back to where it all began. It’s been so very long since the lad left shores of sand. History on the water, it just washes away, washes away. Time has past to far to understand, when it’s time to set sail nobodies gonna hold your hand, not this time, not ever again. The ropes hanging down now will be your only friend.
Let down the sails to your disaster, hold your breath and wait for the hour when you can lay to rest, we’re going under.
Wave breaker, best believe in what you have will get you through the deep end. Then and only then his spine glazed over with a chill, with any sign of doubt “that kind of mind will get you killed”
And so the journey now begins with all the seven greatest sins fulfilled. A final warning: once you sail these seas you will fall to your knees “oh captain my captain where did I go wrong? I can’t see, I can’t breathe, why do you sing this song?
Let down the sails to your disaster, hold your breath and wait for the hour when you can lay to rest, we’re going under.

You fool it’s built into the walls. If you don’t pay attention you’ll live and die through it all. Yes you will, they say: “low your voice and turn around. There is nothing for you here.” If you can’t see the enemy, just follow the hands that feed.
Hands in the mortar, eyes on the leader, caught in the wake, we are the nonbelievers.
Hands in the mortar, eyes on the leads, make no mistake, no peace for deceivers.
We work all day to sleep all night. There must be more within a life. Just think of all the time they take, and how much do you really make? I wanna know, when you think of all they take take take, how much do you really make? I wanna know.
Hands in the mortar, eyes on the leader, caught in the wake, we are the nonbelievers.
Hands in the mortar, eyes on the leads, make no mistake, no peace for deceivers.
Stories much higher than the streets below, gotta make some room so they can turn their nose.
In the vacant spaces that no one can afford, they dont wanna see your faces so they leave the door locked. Like ignoring a sickness, like waiting to drown, when the revolution comes it’s a long way down.
Hands in the mortar, eyes on the leader, caught in the wake, we are the nonbelievers.
Hands in the mortar, eyes on the leads, make no mistake, no peace for deceivers.
You know it’s just a waste of time.

Armistice
04:24
|

Fly away for a day, at least for the night. Well I know sometimes it feels like we are crossing lines, but for once I’m feeling fine.
Run away from it all. We’ll run ‘til we’re out of frame. We’ll stay out of focus for a little while. Our colors blend, recapture when you smile.
I found myself in the darkest places, without hope, the end of my rope. When honestly the strength to be forgiving to yourself is out of reach. You pulled me out of the darkest places, gave me hope. When finally the strength to be forgiving to myself is now within my reach.
Going out of the water, heading into the fire. I am always falling down, but I’ll never hit the ground, because with you I’m ever higher. You mean everything and anything amidst all the madness, we will use what’s real, with brush and steel, to vanquish all the sadness, and make our way back. And make our way back. Lay down your arms, lay down your arms into mine.

Overcast

There is no way out of here. I lost sight of what I am fighting for, the heart and head at war. There are none to wander near. Close enough to tears.
There's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong. I’ll move along, I’ll move along. There’s nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong. I’ll move along.
I never wanted it this way, but I set flames to those I love and hate. Like waves over lines in sand, I’ll give these angels a hand.
Don’t want the storm anymore, can’t see through these clouds. You’re desperate for the one who veiled your light. You gotta reach inside your mind, until you find:
There’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing wrong. They say I’m strong, I’ll move along, no no no. There’s nothing wrong, there’s nothing wrong, I’ll move along.
I never wanted it this way, but I set flames to those I love and hate. Like waves over lines in sand, I’ll give these angels a hand.
