Omg. These synths are every thing. I love the vocal treatment as well.

stuck in the loop of a flashback
with a spotlight on the star I used to be
i'm finding needles in the haystack
i'm dodging every bullet
but then I can't for the life of me

'cause i wasted my chance
with my pocket of time
i watched it slip by me
when you left me behind

feel like a failure
when i'm missing
being held in the palm of your hands
there's nothing greater
and i'll show you
when it comes to your love
but when push comes to shove i just
feel like a failure

then the sun comes out of nowhere
to shine a light on me
to make it clear to see that
oh my god, i'm just gonna drop the ball on it
again and again
is it ever gonna come to an end?
or be for all eternity>

'cause i wasted my chance
with my pocket of time
now all we're ever gonna be
is a memory in the back of my mind

feel like a failure
when i'm missing
being held in the palm of your hands
there's nothing greater
and i'll show you
when it comes to your love

feel like a failure
when i'm missing
being held in the palm of your hands
there's nothing greater
and i'll show you
when it comes to your love
but when push comes to shove I just
feel like a failure

You can take it all for granted
Keep treating me like a stranger
'Cause I don't mind
Look right through me, right through me
You're really doing me a favor, a favor

So cut me down a notch or two
And leave me like you like to do
Drive away to pick it back up in the morning
Pretend that I won't ever be
Enough to keep you company
At least with you it never gets boring

'Cause I'm always gonna let you let me down
So don't fail me now
Love it when you beat me hard into the ground
'Cause if you don't call I'll hold my breath
I think I'm running out so take what's left
'Cause I'm always gonna let you let me down
So call me a martyr
call me a martyr
call me a martyr
call me a martyr

Now you got me hanging off the ledge
Again and again
You keep me at a distance
So nonchalant it's bad enough you make me want
A little bit of heartbreak
It fits so right you can lay it on
Well you can lay it on me
We'll do whatever comes naturally

So cut me down a notch or two
And leave me like you like to do

'Cause I'm always gonna let you let me down
So don't fail me now
Love it when you beat me hard into the ground
'Cause if you don't call I'll hold my breath
I think I'm running out so take what's left
'Cause I'm always gonna let you let me down
So call me a martyr
call me a martyr
call me a martyr
call me a martyr

And I'll boldly go where no man has ever gone before
If you lie to me, then I'll promise I won't hold you back anymore

I'll hold my breath
I think I'm running out so take what's left
'Cause I'm always gonna let you let me let you let me down
So call me a martyr
call me a martyr
Oh, call me a martyr

there’s a man
taking names
see him standing outside in the rain
he’s gonna wash you all away

people say that 
as far as they know
that he came from deep down below
and now he’s here to stay

i’m facing the monster 
i’m going in strong 
if you think that you’re faster
you’re gonna be wrong

i’ll jump into battle 
i’ll wager it all 
'cause the bigger they are 
then the harder they fall

pick a number 
and follow the sound 
it’ll lead you to the burial ground
to the ones who fell before 

one shot is all that I need 
won’t let a shadow hang over me
yeah, It’s time to settle the score 
cause he can’t be coming here anymore

i’m facing the monster 
i’m going in strong 
if you think that you’re faster
you’re gonna be wrong

i’ll jump into battle 
i’ll wager it all 
'cause the bigger they are, then
the harder they fall

because the bigger they are, then

Geode

Cannonball

stripped version of my song "geode"

lyrics:
i found a rock in the shape of a heart
and just like a geode I broke it apart 

deep in the cavernous look in your eyes 
i drop the piece i mistook for the prize 
over time, i’ll leave it to decompose
like everything else that i touch, i suppose
and once you brush off and remove the debris
turns out it’s not what it’s cracked up to be

i found a rock in the shape of a heart 
and just like a geode i broke it apart

geode (stripped)

Static

Lyrics:

Problem children
Never settling down
Had you branded
Waving the flag around

But it's a passing phase they say
It's all that we have these days
Got nothing to call our own

So if you're in it for the long run
Won't you tell me now?
Don't let it be for me to one day figure out

Barren stretches
Have you the energy now?
To walk home defeated
Day in and day out

In the thick of it
Don't say you're running out of options
I've been giving 'em to you all along

So if you're in it for the long run
Won't you tell me now?
Don't let it be for me to one day figure out
Don't let it be for me to one day figure out

Problem Children

Lyrics:

Dry off your halo
While I fill the room with smoke
Is it hard to leave?

I reap the fallow
Where the anchor falls into
the sea with you

And this is how we go
It's trouble but I think you ought to know
You deserve more credit than I've given you

I'm giving you up so easy
I'm giving you up so easy
