[vxlious]
i can’t take this damage 
that the reason i left

i’ve been running in circles 
i don’t know where i stand

are you going fix it
bad and good are you going to mix it yeah

for one time i’ll listen
let your words take all my pain away

[backyard beetle]
yeah time moves to fast
dont want that
im just trying to make it last

they tell me not to slow down
put your foot on the gas

yeah i dont want to that
i might get in a crash

then there's people that tell me not to worry about things like that

yeah you know ive been running 
i dont really want nothing

yeah i know you want something 
thats why you keep on running back

yeah i know that i
i cant make my mind up

yeah wait here 
wait here 
before the times up

in the sun im baking
feeling impatient

[vxlious]
i can’t take this damage 
that the reason i left

i’ve been running in circles 
i don’t know where i stand

are you going fix it
bad and good are you going to mix it yeah

for one time i’ll listen
let your words take all my pain away

lyrics:
just another month wasted 
on someone who’s never there for me 
i’m getting sick of your shit 
please cut the line and set me free

and its not like i don’t care at all
my stomach just cant handle all 
the back and forth
what am i asking for?
now im stuck and i feel terrible
the presence, more than bearable
but i cant afford
i think i’ll start a war

over
something stupid
convoluted
something used
when im still useless

when the time it takes will heal all these wounds
i just leave the battleground feelin screwed
its a problem, you don’t care about who
you’re hurting too

never realized what i couldn’t do
i’m not the one who’s gonna fix you
it took some time to see that we’re better off as two

i think i know what i’m facing
its a problem with sincerity
trust i know thats it worth it, i’m sure it’s
perfect, in a world thats only you and me

and i just cant decipher intentions
when you say it’s never meant to be
you said that we could still be friends
but i’ve been there and i’ve done that
we make up and go through the motions 
mess with my head
you wind up in my bed again 

when the time it takes will heal all these wounds
i just leave the battleground feelin screwed
its a problem, you don’t care about who
you’re hurting too

never realized what i couldn’t do
i’m not the one who’s gonna fix you
it took some time to see that we’re better off as two

hook, line, and sinker w/ matt kelly [grayskies]

ignored every sign

prod. pekarot

ive become a carbon copy of all of the things that i used to despise
maybe ill feel much better with some conversation and the touch of your skin tonight
jump my bones
bleed me dry
take it all from me i swear its fine
i dont know who i am without our hand’s intertwined 
and the picture i keep is a symbol of time
im way more fucked up than I realized 
shot myself in the foot, i ignored every sign
i pray to god we hit every red light 
cause when moments are fleeting, the now must suffice
maybe we can fall in love again for a night
forgive and forget, I dont care who was right
He might be remembered, but we’ll never die
search for salvation in all your goodbyes

Oh what a shame we became 
Such a fragile broken thing 
Wish we could’ve stayed the same
Oh the pain that it brings
When I think of all the ways that I could’ve seen it coming 
Would’ve fucked up anyways
Still dont know what im running from , so the songs are how I deal with what we’ve become
The glow in your eyes is as bright as the sun and it stays there even when push comes to shove
you mean more to me than you realize 
Girl you color my sky
why the fuck would i lie?
your face is a mainstay inside of my mind
read the texts back in your voice like every time
give me the chance to take you on a drive 
the way that you hold me makes everything fine 
moments so perfect at every red light
and i wish i could feel it at least one more time

red light (prod. pekarot)

i dont think u understand
what i meant when i said that theres parts i want to fix
i was talking bout myself cuz i saw me turning out different than this
kiss ur lips
fight for the hell of it
be content for a little bit
shes an angel
she fell from the sky
n ur arms feel like heaven where i lie
its a beautiful place to die

all these sand traps slowing down my grind
she concerned for my health n my life
i feel the fel energy inside
im either high on my shame or my pride

i dont think u understand 
give in to ur every demand 
i dont think u understand 
give it all the energy i have 
i feel it inside
cast it aside
our feet in the grass
think i turned to a ghost
i would stay by you when it hurt most
a swing n a miss
man was i ever close?
been on my mind i dont know if it shows
i dont think u understand
give in to ur every demand
i dont think u understand

all these sand traps slowing down my grind
she concerned for my health n my life
i feel the fel energy inside
im either high on my shame or my pride

\\LYRICS//
[INTRO]
A lesson learned for when I'm fallen sick
I've built my home out of stone and brick
My hands are burnt and Ima follow the tide, tide

[CHORUS]
Follow the tide and Ima wash away your worries
Open your mind cuz my eyes are getting blurry
Standing in light, I can see why I chose you
Mission devine, Im so glad that your mine

[VERSE]
A dollar for a sentence
Bitch, your wringing out my pockets
Another night in the cold got my brain feeling nauseous
Outta pocket, ripping out my socket

[HOLLOW17]
I aint going nowhere baby ur my tonic
When u come around u make me so alive
When ur gone I don't feel at home
Yeah when u shut that door I feel so alone

Yeah ur my queen ill get ur throne
Baby I know that ur worth it 
With the love you've shown

A lesson learned for when I'm fallen sick
And I've built my home out of stone and brick
My hands are burnt and Ima follow the tide, the tide

[ZBee]
Girl don't you hit me up
I don't wanna talk
Everyday feeling the same
So I'm just giving it up
I just took another pill
I think I'm running my luck
Any time that I keep going
I think this is enough
Crash the whip then I go
I feel great off this dope
Everythings in slow motion
Feeling wavy like the ocean
Then I move in closer like a slow dance

[OUTRO - Cap.Kyle]
A lesson learned for when I'm fallen sick
I've built my home out of stone and brick
My hands are burnt and Ima follow the tide, tide

lyrics

(wont you leave me alone
dont you leave me alone)

(there’s blood on my coat
blood on my shoes
blood on my shirt
blood on my heart)

(no, no, i’m notahero)

on this sidewalk i lay down and throw up
i’ll sacrifice
i want you to be happy even if i’m not
carry me to my house like i’m afraid to walk
i reach out to help
and you try to chop my hands off
baby just try to see beauty in the little things
i know there’s plenty evil in the world
but i got good in me
she know what to say to make me stay up
i wanna achieve my dreams
but i can never get them till i wake up

but it’s so hard to let go
i’m finally happy i’ll seal this memory in a photo
you say ur sick of me and it makes my stomach hurt
but i tried my best for what it’s worth
feel like all my songs get boring by the 2nd verse
you said it goes from bad to good
but i feel bad to worse
don’t feel bad
i felt this way, way before you
but i’ll make sure your life is good cuz i adore you
sipping it slow
i will not walk with crow
how can you tell me what’s good for me
like you would know
i told you the answer a long time ago
real life’s gonna hit you like a cannonball
and that fall, feels like yesterday
and when you told me, i hope that you know that i prayed
your mind can do wonders if you take control
everyone i’ve met has tried to kill my soul

on this sidewalk i lay down and throw up
i’ll sacrifice
i want you to be happy even if i’m not
carry me to my house like i’m afraid to walk
i reach out to help
and you try to chop my hands off
baby just try to see beauty in the little things
i know there’s plenty evil in the world
but i got good in me
she know what to say to make me stay up
i wanna achieve my dreams
but i can never get them till i wake up

chop my hands off (prod. kaydo)

prod me.

lyrics:
You never meant shit
you never meant shit
is this what you wanted
is this what you need
i know that yr frontin
you never wanted me
i know that yr lying
we could never be
yr a whole different person
since you left a hole in me
it was never my intention
to end up underneath
but its okay cause i live my life cloaked in darkness
i understand why you were so damn heartless
i understand, i swear i do
but sometimes i swear you be making me look like a fool
i swear you do
even when you not tryin you make me feel like dyin
i swear you do
everybody turn they back but ill never stop tryin

Underneath

p nova chance
co-prod me

im sick of the arguing
repeat myself loads
i cannot see myself in your shoes
i gave my heart to love you the most
what do i get in return i think nothing
you are just another you the same
but you keep repeating in my brain
nothing really satisifies
but no one really gets me like you do

you are bad for me
you are bad
i say blasphemy
hate to see you sad
nothing seems to be the way i want
telling you everytime you're the one i love
i want nothing but your love
i want nothing but your love
wanna feel something
like damn you
she said "what you wanting" 
girl i tried to tell you

ive been feeling total shit
im way out of touch
when your in a good mood
you say "come my way love"
if you wanted my heart i can give it to you
if you wanted my love you can get it too
but you want none of that
thinking bout the times
that we shared with each other
damn i nearly cried
im so confused with myself
ive been singing lullabies to myself

and oh
falling for the wrong one

im sick of the arguing
repeat myself loads
i cannot see myself in your shoe
i gave my heart to love you the most
what do i get in return i think nothing
you are just another you the same
but you keep repeating in my brain
nothing really satisifies
but no one really gets me like you do

like you do
(you are bad for me)
like you do
(oh your bad for me)
like you do
(oh your bad for me)

lullabies

lyrics

now she starting to see me in a different light
and u act like u dont need me and it get me tight
ill make u a song if u give me time
and she gonna fall in love if the feelings right
pitch black skies blanket street lights
yesterday i grew wings and today ill fly
all the snakes in her hair will leave me petrified
baby its just me and u until we die

i put a jacket on
this room feel like an igloo in the winter
she make it even colder when she starting pointing fingers
baby i know, im so fucked up im a drinker
but i can make some pretty lyrics im a thinker

got me chilling up in the studio ripping blinkers
think back to the nights when we would blow out all our speakers
if none of that really ever met that much its unfortunate to say that im a tweaker
got me tripping out like you dont really mean that
miss when we would hit the mall
and we would pop tags
knew you wouldnt take the fall
so i took a step back
go ahead and try to call
but i wont hit back
you cant brush this off cuz you know that i live in doubt
you knew what the cost was when i didnt allow
ive been so exhausted
got me in a drought
make me blossom whenever youre around
passing options every night in town
that cautious laughter doesnt make me feel proud
wish that we could feel right
wish she saw a different light

now she starting to see me in a different light
and u act like u dont need me and it get me tight
ill make u a song if u give me time
and she gonna fall in love if the feelings right
pitch black skies blanket street lights
yesterday i grew wings and today ill fly
all the snakes in her hair will leave me petrified
baby its just me and u until we die

aurora borealis in the sky i would still prefer to look in your eyes
you havent called my phone in a minute bet youll blow it up the day that i die
thinking that you hate me so i dont reply
and when they put me six feet, would you cry
i guess i wont find out there'll be dirt in my eyes
baby hurry up and tell me what you want
and dont you give me that little look you do when you wanna fuck
cliche but all i wanna do is smoke a blunt
you dont understand how this shit helps me
breathe it in and breathe it out
i know its not healthy
without it im geeking out
its been a while since we fell out
but im still fiending now
man i fucking hate my heart wish i could tear it out

now she starting to see me in a different light
and u act like u dont need me and it get me tight
ill make u a song if u give me time
and she gonna fall in love if the feelings right
pitch black skies blanket street lights
yesterday i grew wings and today ill fly
all the snakes in her hair will leave me petrified
baby its just me and u until we die

petrified! w/ brecken & kiddamo (p. nevrfall)

never give up
