Abandoned Energies 03:38
lyrics

I'm gonna whore my soul around I'm slowly falling into it Or maybe, put the bottle down Inhabiting abandoned energies Lost in the swing of things My sad, blue head could use some red So I hurt myself again I don't fear the consequences anymore I'm confident that I've been a fuck up since I was born I understand your attraction to the pain And I won't ever be afraid Of the chemical imbalance of your brain I'm gonna whore my soul around I'm slowly falling into it Or maybe, put the bottle down Inhabiting abandoned energies Lost in the swing of things My sad, blue head could use some red So I hurt myself again I don't fear the consequences anymore I'm confident that I've been a fuck up since I was born I understand your attraction to the pain And I won't ever be afraid Of the chemical imbalance of your brain

Spill My Blood 04:58
lyrics

Will I be enough when I'm finally gone Will I've earned your love Will you listen to me then Am I a hypocrite 'cause I wanna quit Living how I live While my brain is going bad It's fucked up Be a friend, if you were my friend Then you'd understand Why I can't see you anymore 'Cause I'm a little sick What you do triggers it And the drugs that I did Through me further in the pit But I still have faith in love Though I change my face Is it me? Spill my blood This is all a dream Just know I'm trying to change The person I am Be a simpler man With a less aggressive brain Forgive me I hurt myself 'cause I like the thrill I keep lashing out On the people that I love Forgive me It ain't who I wanna be I am more Feel like I'm dying But I still have faith in love Though I change my face Is it me? Spill my blood This is all a dream

Disappearing Act 02:11
lyrics
buy track
I wanna wash away from the harmful shore Make my home at the ocean floor I don't wanna be a failure anymore I don't wanna hurt you, I just wanna be me Recovery's like walking on broken glass And I'm a relapse away from easing the pain Or take the power away My left arm's dressed in rage Immobilized, I fall asleep on the bathroom floor And I've been wanting to discover something But I've been losing my cool in public I'm not seeking your approval But it would be nice to know I don't have to hide around you (Before I disappear) Tell me I don't have to hide around you (Before I disappear) I don't have to hide around you

Old Blue Jeans 05:24
lyrics

Ma's been telling me I'm losing weight Yeah she can tell I'm getting thin Don't understate, say I stay out too late I'm up til the day begins again I crack a bottle, put myself to bed But all my nightmares wreak of you The smell of your skin When we're done making love Fall to the deepest shade of blue The deepest shade of blue But you just get fucked up In your old blue jeans While I'm dying to know What you don't tell me As a cigarette burns Through your lying teeth I wanna know I wanna know you On that white line and whiskey diet A few pills for breakfast The doc supplies 'em, yeah Don't wanna sleep 'Cause I'm terrified I can't stand to dream I just wanna die Let the blood flow from my wrist Never felt a pain that's quite like this It's vivid in my mind that you're fucking him Not knowing the truth is the worst of it Yeah, that's the worst of it I would give anything to have you I would give anything to have you But you just get fucked up In your old blue jeans While I'm dying to know What you don't tell me As a cigarette burns Through your lying teeth I wanna know I wanna know you

Ohio 04:24
lyrics

The sun is bleeding through the blinds And my stomach's in a slipknot I've gotten over being low and made my bed at the bottom Ignoring every single warning sign Fumbling for my keys in the bathroom I think I really done it in this time Don't think I'll make it underneath, unbruised There's nothing left in Ohio Other than chaos and wine I've grown accustomed to laying low Singing my songs in the Cleveland dives Ignoring every single warning sign Fumbling for my keys in the bathroom I think I really done it in this time Don't think I'll make it underneath, unbruised And I'm always out too late See you through bloodshot eyes I don't mean to ignore you, I'm just high And I don't mean to bore you, I'm just high When I get above you, I'm just high And if I say "I love you", I'm just high I don't mean to ignore you, I'm just high And I don't mean to bore you, I'm just high And when I get above you, I'm just high And if I say "I love you" Ignoring every single warning sign Fumbling for my keys in the bathroom I think I really done it in this time Don't think I'll make it underneath, unbruised I don't mean to ignore you, I'm just high And I don't mean to bore you, I'm just high And when I get above you, I'm just high And if I say "I love you"

Nothing's Gonna Hurt You 03:08
lyrics

Oh man it's been a fourteen-hour binge Putting cigarettes out right on my skin 'Cause I just need to feel something Unsure if I'm alive Don't wanna close my eyes Good Lord I might not wake up Can you take my soul with ya? Reminds me of my childhood Holding a bible to my chest To tame the monsters 'neath my bed Now there's monsters in my head Ain't nothin gonna hurt you baby I feel so fucked up in emotional clairvoyance Just a boy trying to make some noise And I'm a minute behind all my explanations Yeah, well I challenge you to hurt me babe Try, go on and try, try, try But nobody can fuck up my face like me Take a couple pills and escape like me Carve into my wrist and evict like me Drink a bottle down, gettin sick like me Your friends think it's cool, but it's nothing to me I been medicating now since a youngin, ya see I can see through your soul, why you frontin to me Why you frontin to me, why you frontin? Yeah Ain't nothin gonna hurt you baby

Talking with Head in Hand 02:06
lyrics

The way your fingers move When you wanna speak Tremors give you away, baby You talk with head in hand Absent from the atmosphere As the world is burning down You're embodied by many things But not by death We'll grow old 'til we're gone And it's beautiful Love, love

Can I Heal? 03:44
lyrics
buy track
When I die, take my money Fill a room with my guitars Take my pills, take my liquor, My addictions, take my car I'm only innocent in everything In who I was before Passing out, doing lines Carving my arm 'til I'm floored And they don't get my behavior Need a savior's what they say But I think I'm getting through it Live to die another die Can you please put down your phone I just wanna sing a single fucking song Before you post about How we're all slaves to technology I'm going crazy out here Afraid to look in the mirror I know my soul's gone away No shakin' I've been ashamed Can I heal, While I'm heaving this weight? Can you please put down your phone There is something that I wanna say The people in this town Will only love you if you wanna change It's shallow You're well aware, you know You just don't care I'm going crazy out here Afraid to look in the mirror I know my soul's gone away I'm going crazy out here Afraid to look in the mirror I know my soul's gone away No shakin' I've been ashamed Can I heal, While I'm heaving this weight?

This life is anything but a dream I feel more capable when I am asleep I'm always high, if I'm not, I wanna be In so much pain, it's overwhelming to me This life is anything but a dream I feel more capable when I am asleep I'm always high, if I'm not, I wanna be In so much pain, it's overwhelming to me I spent four nights in five west Was gettin the demons off my chest But I sang for the broken ones Yeah, I sang for the broken ones Self-medicating to feel okay Is all I've ever known Can't take your money, it goes when you die No, the only thing left is your soul Yeah, what can I say They all leave when they see how I live Ain't so pretty anymore Nah, I ain't so pretty, and This life is anything but a dream I feel more capable when I am asleep I'm always high, if I'm not, I wanna be In so much pain, it's overwhelming to me This life is anything but a dream I feel more capable when I am asleep I'm always high, if I'm not, I wanna be In so much pain, it's overwhelming to me Ain't no sunshine when she's gone I need to take a step back From the way I've been living Feeling low from bad environments I've been in Thinkin what if I get to heaven And I'm short on the admission Could have been a better friend And when I talked, I should have listened But life is short and every day's a lesson Life is short and every day's a blessing I'm just getting started with my message Love yourself, and unapologetically And listen to your body like a melody (you know you level me) This life is anything but a dream I feel more capable when I am asleep I'm always high, if I'm not, I wanna be In so much pain, it's overwhelming to me This life is anything but a dream I feel more capable when I am asleep I'm always high, if I'm not, I wanna be In so much pain, it's overwhelming to me Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
