Right Here

"right here"
i lost my refrain, i can’t handle it
right here and now
it’s upon me and I don’t feel over it
i'm fading out
everyone plays it down like it’s all okay
i can’t leave this here
in the moment we swear it’s our light of day
it’s not here to stay
blinded in light
how could I miss it when I missed it?
leave it behind
how could I miss it when I missed it?
i can’t see into how this is going to end
but oh that’d be nice
see the glory of all the wrong steps we take
and go live your life
it’s so visceral, I can't keep tucked away
i can’t reason with fear
cause it’s flesh and it’s bone and it’s blood
it’s like reason to love
it’s my reason

off the block
every night i kindle fire
it's always a question of where i’d be now
cause over the years i’ve seen, i’ve lost transparency
i’ve gained an age again, it’s left the space desired
are you with me now?
i’m beside myself
and i should’ve known it
the best of times could always be behind me
i’m beside myself
well i, should’ve known it
but now’s the time to be..
simple direction
is what i’m needing
any direction
falling back into making terminal decisions
it’ll be the death of me
(just you watch you know i’ll be betting on it)
i’m taking all the time to write down every word
that’s in my mind and bleed it through my hands
we’ll take a chance and get up off the block again
let’s go again
"living your life in past light
when right now is your next time
never get over that moment
or you’ll never see it."
yeah I don’t buy that
yeah I don’t buy it

"i'd rather not (but here i am)"
i had my time believing hope is found in another:
a damning light that won’t stop fleeting
it was golden, and now broken
up all night in times like these
stuck crumbling when fear comes finding
waste my time and wonder how
why I’m still here just blacking out
so frustrating
i’m holding out from forever and after
is the fear of missing out
worth the risk of falling down?
can’t explain it
i’m holding out from forever and after
times they are a’ changing
i used to dream of late night roses
now i’m alone and lay my losses out
do you see what this has taken out of me?
i changed upon the day i saw her leave
i walked alone in the streetlight
after the show i played last night
and that sits right with me
it’s all i know
it’s all right

There Is Nothing

"there is nothing"
close my eyes and walk out
there’s nothing left to see now
all i long and hope for me
leaves me lifeless and empty
as if it’s worth to work out
the lack of life that’s here now
and every hope i cannot see
deal with daily anxiety
there is nothing i can’t hide
keep it bottled up inside
there is nothing i can’t face..
it’s my flavor of fire
the one i crave and desire
it burns everything they see in me
makes myself my enemy
makes myself afraid to speak
of all the things that haunt me
and everything i don’t believe
i’ll reject your sympathy
there is nothing i can’t hide
keep it bottled up inside
there is nothing i can’t face
put it off for a new day
there is nothing in my way
where i won’t fear or hesitate
there is nothing i can’t hide
keep it bottled up inside
there is nothing i can’t hide
keep it bottled up inside
there is nothing they could say
that will put me in my place
there is nothing in my wake
that’ll change things anyway
there is nothing i can’t hide
keep it bottled up inside
keep it bottled up inside

Haze

"haze (feat. john milner of golden week)"
i cannot hold my breath no more
release the sweet within my lungs
it’s the same thing as before
i feel unhinged, manic inspired
it’s getting late and i’m feeling tired
do all things end just where they ought to be?
use me up and tip me over
wait for fall, dare to go under and behold
don’t let go / you’re not alone
brace yourself so come tomorrow
lead with joy and fear no sorrow and be whole
all of this is tangled up in light
despite our fears that love will
never make its way in our lives
everyone now speaks of communal haze:
the dread and worry within a day
i think i found life bound in-between
it takes its time to find me
so leave me that joy left haunting
in search of a day i’m wanting back
dreaming that moment will shine through
it’s in everything i don’t see
it’s in everything i don’t believe
up until now i swore to be graceful
i missed the point of not being able
i couldn’t have it any other way
it's in everything
