she was working the hardest job
being a mom for beautiful kids who reciprocated that love
it's hard to imagine what she was going through
but through it all she made the best out of the inevitable
she was so incredible

but her job don't make a living it just kills the soul within her
men force her into sinning they know she just wants children
to alleviate the burdens
but why are their lives sacrificed so early
'cause a child is born in suffering
he's conscious 'bout a job worried about a budget
society crippled the family mama don't have a husband
and you know that you can't make it here if you're a woman
so her child aspires to make it right
he tries so hard to make her smile
but when the doors close it's hard to be hopeful

when she was young her stepfather sold her
little did he know she was a soldier
in a room abused drinking things that were drug infused
she on solid ground she saved herself

will the boys her age
continue at the nonsense
i'm just speaking from my heart and my heart said,
"this is monotony yea"
and it's not me it's you
how could you be so cruel
to a 13 year old girl

so she tries so hard to make it right
she can't sleep at night no more
how's she gonna get home

but it's crazy to be mindless when the world just loses time
do you hear the silent cries witness invisible crimes
she looks in her mirror only imagines saying, "it's time"
her ma would still be proud and say, "that's my child"
i pray that one day you'll find your innate light
you were made to shine and sometimes you might flame in combustion
don't ever believe that you're nothing
coming from the ground means power profound you're something
so don't let the flower die you're still her child
don't let that flower die you're still her child

you're still her child

Her Child

i'm withering away
i'm not who i thought i'd turn out to be anyway
i'm withering away
i'm not who i thought i'd turn out to be

i don't represent the intent of
your imagination living in a nation of regret
united we dream divided we wake up we wake up

that's why i'm withering away
i'm not who i thought i'd turn out to be anyway
i'm withering away
i'm not who i thought i'd turn out to be

i tried so hard to hold her hand
she used to have imaginary friends
and dreams and plans and failures
dependent on the voices in her head
she said, "one day i'll change the world
i'll be the one to save the earth from conformity"
but how can i
when i don't know who i have to be

but i don't represent the intent of
your imagination living in a nation of regret
united we dream divided we wake up we wake up

that's why i'm withering away
i'm not who i thought i'd turn out to be anyway
i'm withering away
i'm not who i thought i'd turn out to be

i hope you recognize me
/i hope you recognize me with the way i've withered away
and i hope you recognize me

To Those Who Don't Know Us

every second of the day it gets
a little easier to breathe
knowing that your home hasn't burned
look at you so full of mercy
can't say that you learned too much from me 'cause you took too long
too much of all this love i won't ever receive
returned it to sender
'cause the package is already opened
i'm done claiming hopeless
i won't be the one who doesn't take notice 'cause
one day you'll find a way
out of your mind
in the meantime you can't reside here
it's getting dark outside
it's getting dark outside
don't be ashamed of
the thoughts you think at night
the sun will come up
what are you afraid of

but can i get five more minutes of you
just five more minutes of you

one day you'll find a way
out of your mind
in the meantime you can't reside here
it's getting dark outside
it's getting dark outside
don't be ashamed of
the thoughts you think at night
the sun will come up
what are you afraid of

can i get five more minutes of you
just five more minutes of you

Afraid of the Dark

nobody cares if you really love her
me and my friends have a bet with each other
that there'll be casualties in the end

and i tried to tell you
that she doesn't care
but oh well right i give you the benefit of
the ignorant clichéd carried away stereotype
stereo-kind of love

everybody sees the masks on the faces
caricatures that only show traces
that there'll be tragedy in the end

and i tried to tell you
that he doesn't care
but oh well right i'll give you the benefit of
the victimized compulsive lie you live your life in sacrifice
to only feed the stereotype kind of love

#StereoLove

hey there
i'm a prophet from the future if you wanna use your
time a little wiser you should probably listen
it's not fair
that they put you 'gainst the grain of all of these expectations
but please don't
hesitate to tell 'em straight that
you don't even know
and you don't even care no more
please don't
hesitate to tell 'em straight that
you don't even know

what do i do right now
what should i think what should i say
tell me what do i do right now
should i walk away

how many times do i have to tell you
that i don't wanna buy what you're selling
it's not that your product lacks the quality
your delivery isn't impressive
you're not the first person to knock on my door
still recovering from a girl scout i helped her win a bicycle
self pity in all of its forms
self pity in all of its flavors

but i don't have the time of day
to be lied to this way $9.99 you say
well take my pride
i need the change back
can i get a receipt for that

when everything is nonsensical
you don't have to make sense out of this to be credible
by the way you're overusing your testicles
i hope you have some left to feed yourself i know your hands are full
so full of the bullshit
spreading all your problems just to make 'em all inclusive

i don't have the time of day
to be lied to this way $9.99 you say
well take my pride
i need the change back
can i get a receipt for that

Sweet & Loe

i took out a pen and it traced a map
well i'm halfway through it i can't go back i can't go back
i saw an x i thought i saw it in your hands
but it was only a mirage i dug myself into a trap

can we go and touch the sky now and pick up where we left off
i'm understanding all the sad songs i'm 'bout ready for a lift off
but i got some problems i can tell that you love her
'cause your hands are everywhere on her

we need some space
but where's the oxygen when you need it she's your venus and i stop breathing
heard that you're different as a result of atmospherical distance
and there you go again with your phases i pray you return to earth safely
baby you're the man on the moon but isolated on the dark side
that's why i no longer see you in the night time
a mystery but frankly now you wanna be found
so put your feet on the ground

how do you find security in the darkness
or the sense of stability on a rocket ship
is it customary to just call it quits
the stars shine but more like emergency exits
security in the darkness
or the sense of stability on a rocket ship
customary to just call it quits
or am i just accustomed to nonsense and bullshit

we need some space
but where's the oxygen when you need it she's your venus and i stop breathing

i took out a pen and it traced a map
well i'm halfway through it i can't go back i can't go back

Lone Star State of Mind

everywhere i go i see orange and blue
those are the colors that remind me of you
when the sun rises and the sun sets
how could i forget what your eyes had said

they were like

hey how's your day so far i'm doing well
but i'd be better off if you knew how i felt
well let me introduce myself here's my name you can wear it out
and here's my heart do you wanna hear how it sounds

kinda sounds like

when the butterflies have flown from my stomach
to the flowers of my soul i want you to know
that when i'm with you i feel magical

and it kinda feels like this
yea it kinda feels like this sometimes
it kinda feels like this

Kinda Like This

you better enjoy the view
we all fall down

fall

Icarus

a track we made for a friend back in summer '17. didn't wanna sit on it any longer so here it is, all its glory

why you tryna be something that already exists?
did you think that it'd be easier to just blend in?
cause who could ever have the heart to forget that face?
you're more than irreplaceable
i decorate these walls and tabletops with memories of us laughing
happiness was never hard to find
it was time that we were passing and the past is more than black and white

you place generic pictures in generic picture frames
you pour out of 6 by 4 inches you can't be contained
you'd hate it if i said i never want it any other way
but you're more than, you're more important than you think
