Inspired & the Sleep

10. First Time

"First Time is a song I wrote at the start of a relationship. The song is about the very first time a couple catches themselves opening up to each other. I feel like when you're alone for an extended period you tend to naturally become guarded just as a way of protecting yourself, but it takes even more strength to get to a point where you can let yourself love again."

I'm not the best with words its true
The thoughts, they don't seem to cut through
When there's so much
To be said
I know sometimes I bring you down
There are no answers that Ive found
Ruminating 
In my head

But don't take me for someone who'd give you up that easy
I might not be the biggest catch, but I don't care I don't care anymore

I caught you nervous for the first time
It's not the easiest to get inside
I feel the warmth that you provide 
I see it happening all the time

And there's that night that we drove drunk
You went to jail and my heart sunk
Cause it's my job
To keep you safe
It's funny how these things turn out
I said I love you with the no doubt
A simple thing
So hard to say

But don't take me for someone who'd give you up that easy
I might not be the biggest catch, but I don't care I don't care anymore

I caught you nervous for the first time
It's not the easiest to get inside
I feel the warmth that you provide 
I see it happening all the time

I caught you nervous for the first time
It's not the easiest to get inside (the easiest to get inside)
I feel the warmth that you provide 
I see it happening all the time

First Time

6. Jailbreak

“Jailbreak is about leaving your hometown, falling in and out of love, and everything in between.”

Yeah she'll always need another drink
This is just the sort of thing I'd fake
But within the solace of her thighs
I'll push these thoughts to the wayside

I never took the time to think
Of the consequences at stake
Now I'm counting down from 10 to 1
As my universe starts to come undone

And time will never cease to be
The one that got away
And I wholeheartedly believe
In possibility, but there is none here
But there is none here
But there is none here
Won't you crack me a beer

So tell the ones you love goodbye
And watch this town as they flies by
As just a fragment of your memory
The part of you that you let free
The part of you that you let free
The part of you that you let free
The part of you that you let free

For all the smiles and all the fights
You'd always end up by my side
And after all we said and all we lied
It couldn't get us through the night
x3

And time will never cease to be
The one that got away
And I wholeheartedly believe
In possibility, but there is none here
But there is none here
But there is none here
Won't you crack me a beer

Jailbreak

3. Liaison

“Liaison is our song about the apprehension of feeling stuck at a midpoint in life as it relates to your personal goals and the people around you.”

Looks like the party's left
But your not your not letting up
You strive to fill the measurements of this cup
You've never been the fool
Who lets life happen to you
But these days are on the fence
Can't get yourself to choose

Wedding, career, graduation
Your making us so proud of the adult that you've become
But I'll just stay

Forever in the Middle
And always just enough
I'm not the kind to settle
But it all just stays the same
With all Lia With all Liaison
With all Lia With all Liaison

I can't be everywhere
And my mind's definitely not here
But I'll try and make some sense of each and every fear
As If I lost the key 
To this younger part of me
That'd strive through thick and thin
Would not accept defeat

Wedding, career, graduation
Your making us so proud of the adult that you've become
But I'll just stay

Forever in the Middle
And always just enough
I'm not the kind to settle
But it all just stays the same
With all Lia With all Liaison
With all Lia With all Liaison

2. Getting Through

"GT describes the desire/hopes to overcome emotional blocks and walls towards the ones closest to you. It's always been so odd to me to see two individuals who were once so close and and connected get to a point where they are so disassociated and detached from each other. This could be in the example of a friend, relative, girlfriend, or spouse. I've always felt that the people that impacted your life significantly should not but pushed away or banished."

There’s nothing to be said
For the thoughts that are brewing
In the cauldron of your head, hey
The star on the ceiling
Next to your brothers bunk
And the scars they are healing

and you can stay in the shadows.
Dad I’m trying my best, but it just don’t matter to you
No chance of getting through, hey

Pluck on the heart strings
Breaking them one by one
With each lover life brings
Flowers on your grave
The monster beneath your bed
And look now how we behave

It’s the ones we hold the most
Are the ones we push away
And the one that got in close
Is the one we’ll never say
Another word to, hey

And you can stay in the shadows.
Mom I’m trying my best, but it just don’t matter to you
No chance of getting through, hey
And you can stay in the shadows.
Babe you’re trying your best, but it just don’t matter to me
No chance of getting through, hey

Getting Through

1. Right Place, Right Time

“RPRT is our anthem for forgiveness and heartbreak. It recollects a period in my life where I was deeply in love with an individual that, simply put, didn't feel the same way about me. I spent so much time, energy, and thoughts into resenting this girl and whoever she wound up with. This song is about the introspective dialog of predicting/hoping for the perfect time and place to communicate my apologies and best wishes. Letting go is ultimately the only answer in order to move on.”

Used to worship the ground that you walked
I can’t hear, but I see you talking
On my flaws of my error
But I couldn’t seem to care

And I watched as you slipped away
Those last words that I heard you say
It’s not you, it’s me
But I’m sure not buying it

In the right place at the right time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
In the palisades of a better time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore

I do hope that he treats you well
Your affection can cast a spell
It consumed all of me
And that’s no easy feat

Now I’ve held this weight on my back
Took each chance I could to attack
Now it’s time to let go
And I hope I can let you know

In the right place at the right time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
You’re on holiday in the summertime and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore


But don’t hang up the phone
Cause I forgot to say
I’m sorry for the damage I’ve done
And now that I’m alone
I’m trying to make a change
So I hope I’ve caught you

In the right place at the right time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
In the palisades of a better time and I try to say
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore
I won’t hate you anymore

Right Place, Right Time

4. Stay

“Stay is our piece about swooning in the throes of affection. It doesn't seem to matter where a lover stands in your life, if the emotions are there you can be convinced to stay the night.”

No longer yours but don't mean that I left
Just think of the times that I treated you best
And not the ways I've let you down
I'll be your friend until my last breath
These things they depend on the brain to my left
But he's never been all that kind

But you take take
But you take, me for a ride
She said stay, stay with me tonight

Wanting you back since I dropped the ball
Trying my best to act like I don't care at all
But I'm always aware when you're around
Remember your cheek as it felt on my chest
Take care of yourself and make time for some rest
But I never follow my own advice

But you take take
But you take, take me for a ride
She said stay, stay with me tonight
But you take, take me for a ride
The words escape, me without fail everytime

Stay

5. Big Wide World

"BWW is about a state of mind. The feeling is nostalgic, bittersweet, and yet still optimistic when contemplating a past relationship. The song is a reflection on ones romantic self as it relates to the possibilities of the world."

i'll sing a version of the blues and I'm certain you can hum the chorus too
i'm sleeping in so hit the snooze its such a chore when these dreams are made of glue
a pillowcase of ecstasy my thoughts they squirm through the caverns of a brain
squeeze the fruit until it bleeds all memory and take all of it in vain

but its a Big Wide World
so how can you still just be thinking of one girl.
and its a Big Wide World
so how can you still just be thinking of one girl.

i find myself writing these shots down on paper. letters that you'll never read
cause I see your face i'm at a loss there are no words that can summarize this need

but its a Big Wide World
so how can you still just be thinking of one girl.
and its a Big Wide World
so how can you still just be thinking of one girl.

your health, society, existential philosophy,
a bucket list of goals you're sure you need
the globe unexplored all the friends that you ignore
the patterns in your brain since you were born

but its a Big Wide World
so how can you still just be thinking of one girl.
and its a Big Wide World
so how can you still just be thinking of one girl.

8. Transcend

"Transcend is a song based around infatuation and the toxic situations that can surround it. It's about wanting the best for someone who doesn't want the best for themselves."

And we're all just having fun
Share the drugs with everyone
Go on
Chop em in to even lines
Her idea of a good time
It's not your fault it just
Felt apart

My mind's at loss of words to say
But it kills me to see your disarray
Go on
Get some rest now will you take care of yourself
Cause I can't bear to see you live this way

It's the pain inside my chest
When I don't feel at my best
Go on
And I know that I'm the worst
You're just someone else to hurt

It's not your fault it just
Fell apart

My mind's at loss of words to say
But it kills me to see your disarray
Go on
Get some rest now will you take care of yourself
Cause I can't bear to see you live this way

Transcend

9. Here & Now

'Here & Now is about a sense of desperation felt for another despite the feeling not being mutual. It describes a yearning for another to be in the moment with you, in the Here & Now'

It's been a while
Since we last talked
I'm doing fine and I swear
You don't consume my thoughts

You'd say you need 
Some time alone
Some time alone
You'd say you need 
Some time alone
Some time alone

Your guard was held
Against my siege
Don't understand how I could
Give you everything everything

You'd say you need 
Some time alone
Some time alone
You'd say you need 
Some time alone
Some time alone

The more I held you
The more it slipped through my hands
Although it felt true
Was just a means to an end

But you could be, but you could be by my side oh love
In the Here & Now
In the Here & Now
x3

You'd say you need 
Some time alone
Some time alone
You'd say you need 
Some time alone
Some time alone

Here & Now

11. Carry On

"Carry On is our dreamy ballad touching on the trials and tribulations of relationships in conjunction with depression. This is the last song off our record and it addresses the darker realities of life and the need to keep moving forward."

In dire form since you lost the war
And I alone can't handle the chore
Time and time again like it was before
You see yourself close another door

Always saying how I
Can't hear you or don't understand
This argument does not, have an end 

When my love for you has washed away
With no words left to say, but
I'm so fucking sorry
And sometimes it feels as though we'll day alone
And we're growing older (would you let me know?)
But who's to know? (if I let you go)

I won't be leaving the house today
No promises that I have to make
There are comfort zones so you won't explore
Collecting pennies from off the floor

Always saying how I
Can't decide or
Don't speak mine
This whole where I
Bide my time

When my love for you has washed away
With no words left to say, but
I'm so fucking sorry
And sometimes it feels as though we'll day alone
And we're growing older (would you let me know?)
But who's to know? (if I let you go)

Always saying how I
Don't think straight or
Ever organize
I'm sorry, but I really do try

When my love for you has washed away
With no words left to say, but
I'm so fucking sorry
And sometimes it feels as though we'll day alone
And we're growing older (would you let me know?)
But who's to know? (if I let you go)

Carry On

7. Feels

"Feels is about having reservations for a new-found due to a feeling of being unready and undeserving of it."

So sweet it's fiction
To taste what you cannot digest
If it feeds the addiction
You should let this one go I guess
But I'm just a sucker for those intimates nicities
The idea of a lover helps me to sit still and breathe

If the feels become to great

Don't let me go
Too far Too far too far now
too far too far down this road
I won't I won't I won't
Won't give into the feels

If the notion struck me
I would kiss on the edge of your neck
But that would just be succumbing
To the wrong type of love I'd expect
I'm not missing you no
I'm just missing a part of myself
So I can't let the seed grow
It's a weed that affects my health

If the feels become too great

Don't let me go
Too far too far too far now
Too far too far down this road
I won't I won't I won't
Don't let me go
Too far too far too far now
Too far too far down this road
I won't I won't I won't
Won't give into the feels
