Red eyes
At the foot of the bed
It's no surprise to see you here
When you're counting every step

You're here to help us 
I've heard that a lot
Counting seconds off the clock 
It's Impossible

Slow it down
Your wires are crossed
My head is spinning from the top
It's illogical 

You're here to help
I almost forgot
Shaving seconds off the clock 
It's impossible

We need the money
To sweeten the pot
Cashing checks that I forgot
At a funeral

I'm feeling hopeful
Believe it or not
There's still a chance to catch your breath
With Albuterol 

Full stop
Cream of the crop
We stay on top 
Until we're giving up

You're here to help us
I've heard that a lot
Counting seconds off the clock
It's Impossible

Gotta learn how to lose
Give it up
Gotta learn how to loosen up your grip
When everything's slippin'
Through your fingers like the sand
Time keeps rippin'
Like vapor through a fan

You gotta learn how to move
Gotta look for the truth and not forget
It's too much too soon
I think there must be a fever in my head

The building is gone
The kool-aid is drunk
Gotta learn how to move
Move along

Gotta learn how to Lose
Give it up
Gotta learn how to loosen up your grip
When everything is slippin'
Through your fingers like the sand
Time keeps rippin'
Like vapor through a fan

You gotta learn how to move
Gotta look for the truth and not forget
It's too much too soon
I think there must be a fever in my head

The building is gone
The kool-aid is drunk
Gotta learn how to move
Move along

Gotta learn how to lose
Learn how to lose
Gotta learn how to lose
Learn how to move

Gotta learn how to lose
Give it up
Gotta learn how to loosen up your grip
When everything is slippin'
Through your fingers like the sand
Time keeps rippin'
Like vapor through a fan

You've gotta learn how to lose


Born out of a whirlwind 24hr recording session, "Learn How To Lose" reflects on the intensity and the immediacy of its creation. The lyrics suggest a deep dive into the experience of grappling with the inevitable; loss, change, and the passage of time. The recurring imagery of sand slipping through fingers, and time ripping like vapor, captures a universal almost existential feeling of trying to hold onto the ephemeral, only to realize the futility of such efforts.

Learn How To Lose

I had a vision today
Sky was caving and my heart will say
Won’t you take control
Of the way that you roll

Take
Wait
Stay
Hold tomorrow

Take
Wait
Stay
No tomorrow

The clock keeps ticking in your mind
The words are written but you’re out of time
I’m holding on tonight
My mind is empty but my heart is right

Take
Wait
Stay
Til tomorrow

Take
Wait
Stay
Save tomorrow

I had a feeling that you
You’ve taken hold
And that’s okay
I’m working on my own

Take
Wait
Stay
TIL tomorrow

Take
Wait
Say
Not tomorrow

Tomorrow

You can chase your dreams,
Follow them upstream

Feel the need to succeed
Pretend to know what it means

Are we supposed to fail?
Are we supposed to achieve?

Is this what it's supposed to be?
Is this reality?

And it rains
And it rains
And it rains

And it rains
And it rains

And I bet….
The winners feel the same

You can chase what you need
Outpace a feeling that flees
Is it desire that feeds
What you feel you should be?

You're striving to change
And reminisce on the olden days
Can we still feel that way?

Are we supposed to offend?
Are we supposed to agree?

Is this what is supposed to be?
Is this reality?

And it rains
And it rains
And it rains
And it rains

And it rains

And I bet
The winners feel the same

And it rains
And it rains
And it rains

And it rains
And it rains
And it rains

And it rains
And it rains
And it rains

And it rains
And it rains
And it rains
