I'll just weep on the weekend
I'll wish that I weren't around
Whine and whimper without you
When the world won't let down

I'll just weep on the weekend
You won't hear another sound
Should I share my heart with you?
I barely know it myself

But can we have it 50/50?
I’ll meet you halfway
I wanna have some in between
Somewhere in the gray

I'll just weep on the weekend
No one wants me around
And I took it out on you
I'm a goddamn letdown

But can we have it 50/50?
I’ll meet you halfway
I wanna have some in between
Somewhere in the gray
Are you sure that you still love me?
It doesn't feel the same
If this is 50/50
Then why's there so much pain?

Why is there so much pain?
Somewhere in the between
Let's split it 50/50

Back and forth, I loved you more
Guess it didn't ever matter
The words we swore, the ring you wore
Guess it didn't ever matter

50/50 (feat. Kellin Quinn)

Does your mother wonder how I've been
For the sake of conversation?
"Is he alright? Is he okay?
What's he up to now these days?"

So do you tell her how?
I bet you tell her how

You'd rather talk about something else 
Like that better boy that makes you proud
More well suited, more well spoken, so much more than me
He's so much more than me

Don't get me so wrong 
You've got me so wrong

This sorry slumber's turning into
Another nightmare I'll have about you
Talking bout how you deserve
The happiness I'll never earn

Does your mother wonder how I've been
For the sake of conversation?
Could you tell her that I’ve grown up
She won't know you made it all up

So do you tell her how?
I bet you tell her how

I just do it for attention
Confessin' candor, I need to confide in
Someone safer, someone saner, someone other than me
You weren't there for me

Don't got me so wrong 
You've got me so wrong

This sorry slumber's turning into
Another nightmare I'll have about you
Talking bout how you deserve
The happiness I'll never earn
Always felt this way, haven't you
Said enough? It seems I've been through
More than I ever deserved,
The happiness I'll never earn

I lost today
But I’ll try for tomorrow
Nothing to say
But I’ll say more tomorrow

(Be good now, be good now)
(Be good for goodness sake)
(In and out of love)
(Out of control)
(Guess it didn't ever matter)
(Guess it didn't ever matter)

Slumber

'Cause I-I-I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shoes on, get up in the morn'
Cup of milk, let's rock and roll
King Kong, kick the drum, rolling on like a Rolling Stone
Sing song when I'm walking home
Jump up to the top, LeBron
Ding dong, call me on my phone
Ice tea and a game of ping pong, huh
This is getting heavy
Can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready (woo hoo)
Life is sweet as honey
Yeah, this beat cha-ching like money, huh
Disco overload, I'm into that, I'm good to go
I'm diamond, you know I glow up
Hey, so let's go
'Cause I-I-I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight (hey)
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa oh oh
Bring a friend, join the crowd
Whoever wanna come along
Word up, talk the talk
Just move like we off the wall
Day or night, the sky's alight
So we dance to the break of dawn
Ladies and gentlemen, I got the medicine
So you should keep ya eyes on the ball, huh
This is getting heavy
Can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready (woo hoo)
Life is sweet as honey
Yeah, this beat cha-ching like money
Disco overload, I'm into that, I'm good to go
I'm diamond, you know I glow up
Let's go
'Cause I-I-I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight (hey)
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa oh oh
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, life is dynamite
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, life is dynamite
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa oh oh
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy

'Cause I-I-I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight (alight, oh)
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa (light it up like dynamite)

Tally marks on my wrist
Give me that razor kiss
Put some pressure, stop the bleeding
Push away the ones I'm needing

Bruises from bottled bliss
Under the influence
Numb the noise, it's always ringing
Push away the ones I'm needing

I'll just bring you down with me

So I'll push you away
For the best, to keep you safe
You say it's not my choice to make
I'll show you otherwise
To hate me like the other guys
You'll see we're all one and the same

Cyclones spin in my head
Swallow some side effects
Two a night, they help for sleeping
The kind of help I'm always needing

I'll just bring you down with me

So I'll push you away
For the best, to keep you safe
You say it's not my choice to make
I'll show you otherwise
To hate me like the other guys
You'll see we're all one and the same

I pushed you away
Convinced myself it'd keep you safe
That'll be my worst mistake

Tally Marks Demo (Sean's Version)

Lyrics:
Buggin' out about an ex of mine
Living in Anaheim
Turning nothing into something
Every month and then apologize
Call me selfish, then you'll call me back
Then I'll slip a wrong word, we're back off track
You're turning nothin' into something
Every month and then apologize

And say we need that
Right time and right place
See what good that would make
When we aren't on the same page
Aren't you sick of fighting?
Are you finished talking?
Don't you interrupt me.
We're shouting again

Foolin' round with that old ex of your's,
Look how the tables turn
The bigger picture's I won't miss ya
At least not as much as I missed her
Just admit it, love, I know you did it, love
So pack your bags and take your shit and call it quits, love
The bigger picture's I wont miss ya
At least not as much as I missed her

Buggin' Out

Lyrics:
Cross my heart and hope to die
Lull me in like a lullaby
The other side is lookin' like...
(is lookin' like)
It's paradise

Get me out my skin and skull
Tear apart my flesh and bones
The other side is lookin' like...
(is lookin' like)
It's paradise

Doublin' my dose today,
Needin' normality 
Doublin' my dose today

The bedheads and bug bites
Just hold on till sunrise
The street lights, and long drives
You made it till July

Does the grief mean I miss you?
Does it mean I lived a lie?
Was I too young to love you?
Or does it mean I crossed the line?

But it's not not not your fault
I could never make up my mind
No, it's not not not your fault
We can blame it on the light

Bedheads (ft. Sonic Halls)

Boohoo, tell me who you're even cryin' to
Who's who? Must'a got her mixed up with you
New you, think you're the shit for outdrinkin' the room
22, still 5 years from what you're plannin' to do

Can't ever really go one night, nah
Without another fuckin' fight, nah
Couldn't do this all my life, but
I couldn't leave her if I tried

So what's the cheapest way to go?
Is it cyanide smoke? 
Is it a chair under the ceiling fan,
A rope around my throat?

You change up like a mood ring, it's confusing
Yeah, I never know what the hell you're thinking
Your mystery is misery, the fucking death of me
Cause your mouth don't match what your brain is thinking

Running low
Your colors change when we’re alone 
You’re my nicotine 
I’m craving all the agony

Cause I gotta cut it off 
And throw it away 
You got a lot of problems 
But nothing to say 
I’ll never learn 
To walk away from you 

Will we go out with a show?
Maybe double up our dose?
Or by making snow angels 
on the busiest of roads?

You change up like a mood ring, it's confusing
Yeah I never know what the hell you're thinking
Your mystery is misery, the fucking death of me
Cause your mouth don't match what your brain is thinking

Mood Ring (feat. Outsider Heart)

emo pop-punk from orlando, florida.
taken from our EP "Quiet Compassion"

I’m carefully crafting the note I would leave
Like would you lament me? Would you feel a thing?
Keep being you kid or keep being mine
‘Till I just let you down

Here’s a suggestion for quiet compassion
Leave your door open, the decor on your wall
You’ll play the artist and I’ll play the thief
‘Till I just let you down

These words will be the ones you won’t forget
And what the hell makes you any different
Never more than this inside your head
Who do you love now?

The colors in these veins dont glow like they used to
They won’t do it for you, they won’t do it for me
Little liaison, now where have you gone?
Have I just let you down?

These words will be the ones you won’t forget
And what the hell makes you any different
Never more than this inside your head
Who do you love now?

I’ll watch you start over like I never could
And run through rough patches of places we stood
Wallow aloud, and forget to forgive
Ever to be the optimist

These words will be the ones you won’t forget
I don’t think that I’m used to this just yet
Never more than this inside your head
Who do you love now?
Who do you fuck now?

Little Liaison

Can we talk this through?
Are these breaths not worth like how they used to?
Of course, I didn’t mean it like that
And I’ve gotta say it, cuz you’re the best I’ve had.

Or should I act like nothing’s wrong
Cos it might just be me

Hang on for february, cause I’ll be brand new
honest this time
Hang on, hold tight, we’re floating on a cloudy cure tonight
But I won’t ever let you sink

So far, so bad, so much to bear, or is it not enough?
The sweet tunes have rotted so sour and the gifts sat atop your bedstand
All the criss-crossed calls, they’ve escaped us now to lost and never found
and I’d hate to ask if, if you ever feel bad?

could we pretend that nothing’s wrong
if it’ll keep you with me

sink down into the ground
and let your thoughts bury themselves alive
and we can tear out all the old pages that forged all our secrets in pitch black ink

Hang on, hold tight, I won’t ever let you sink.

So Far, So Bad

they say some time provides some peace of mind
i pray i never wake up, these times deprive.
how could i try again?
you make it look easy

what kind of conversation describes me now?
seems i will never know you like he does now.
who have you become?
good as new, clean slate

some of us are written this way
some of us don’t know better
mmmm mm mm

close, so close i came to changing your mind
i wont ever exist in that space outside
must i feel necessary
that would be too easy
you gave up too easy
let me down too easy

some of us are written this way
some of us don’t know better
some of us sleep so soundly
some of us want to suffer

Some Of Us

this is my first time trying to use garageband. sry if any of it sux lol.

Conan Gray - Maniac (Acoustic Cover by Ivypaint)

storytime:
i was listening to "brain stew" when i realized the lyrics were actually pretty dark, so i thought it would be cool to see how it would sound if the instruments were stripped-back, elliot smith/bon iver style. then i realized there wasn't really a chorus in "brain stew", so that's when i threw in "boulevard of broken dreams." and then i recorded and mixed all of this in my bedroom while using garageband for the second time in my life. yep. thx 4 reading this.

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams / Brain Stew Acoustic Medley

[Verse 1]
I'm always runnin' late and racing the hour
You play it safe, always keep it together
You're innocent, prim, and proper
That's what they say, troublemaker
Back on track, found my inspiration
In ya girl, always know what you're doing
You and I, got it so right
You and I, yeah we just might

[Pre-Chorus]
Be good now, be good now
Be good for goodness sake
Be good now, be good now
Be good for goodness sake

[Chorus]
When your world is upset
I'll set it right side up again
This head rush has ya feelin' dizzy
I'll make it make sense
I'll quiet the noisiness
This head rush has ya feelin' dizzy

[Post-Chorus]
You're dizzy

[Verse 2]
My mothers mad when I'm out at this hour
Play the cards, sneakin' out just to see ya
Fill the list, crazy plans with ya
Check it off, write another
Let's run away, find a place down in Tampa
Soak in sun, melt away from the drama
You and I, got it so right
You and I, yeah we just might

[Pre-Chorus]
Be good now, be good now
Be good for goodness sake
Be good now, be good now
Be good for goodness sake

[Chorus]
When your world is upset
I'll set it right side up again
This head rush has ya feelin' dizzy
I'll make it make sense
I'll quiet the noisiness
This head rush has ya feelin' dizzy

[Bridge]
You and I got it so right
You and I got it so right
You and I got it so right
You and I got it so right
(As if I'd leave you here for four years)
(You know I'm sincere)

[Chorus]
When your world is upset
I'll set it right side up again
This head rush has ya feelin' dizzy
When your world is upset
I'll set it right side up again
This head rush has ya feelin' dizzy
I'll make it make sense
I'll quiet the noisiness
This head rush has ya feelin' dizzy
(You're dizzy)
(You're dizzy)
(But won't you stay here with me?)
(You're dizzy)
(You're dizzy)
(But won't you stay here with me?)

Head Rush

[Verse 1: Sean]
I met you on Monday
You told me your name
Is this fact or fiction
‘Cause you’re what I’m missin’

[Verse 2: Christian]
I missed you on Tuesday
I’ll miss you the next
A tragic tradition
‘Cause you’re always missin’

[Pre-Chorus: Sean]
In and out of love
Out of control

[Chorus: Sean, Adam]
Miss Mae, may I meet your alibi?
Wrong place, wrong time
Ain’t that always why?
Miss Mae, may I blame the blue light?
Day in, day out
Just wanna sleep right.

[Verse 3: Sean]
I found you on Friday
Looked all over town
You were high out your mind
and who the hell was that guy?

[Verse 4: Adam,(Jason), Sean]
I saw you on Sunday
Was it all in vein?
You laughed with your friends like
(Who the hell is that guy?)
I dont even know him

[Pre-Chorus: Sean (All)]
In and out of love
Out of control
(In and out of love
Out of control)

[Chorus: Sean, Adam]
Miss Mae, may I meet your alibi?
Wrong place, wrong time
Ain’t that always why?
Miss Mae, may I blame the blue light?
Day in, day out
Just wanna sleep right.

[Bridge: Sean (Jason)]
It pains me to say it, yeah, this is embarrasin’
But I’m fuckin’ sick of always feelin’ sorry and
I’m tired of them sayin’ they barely know me when
I spill my guts in lyrics and the melodies
This one’s for you girl, listen up, honeybee
That shit was mutual, don’t spin the story, see
I’m busy dealin’ with my own insanity
I’m glad it’s over ‘cause I ain’t no Morrissey
Not gonna lie though, you saved my life
From the day you arrived to the last time you cried
I wanna be mad, don’t think that I can
So back to this chorus
(Are you done yet, man?)

[Chorus: Sean]
Miss Mae, may I meet you alibi?
Wrong place, wrong time,
Ain’t that always why?

[Chorus: Sean, Adam]
Miss Mae, may I meet your alibi?
Wrong place, wrong time
Ain’t that always why?
Miss Mae, may I blame the blue light?
Day in, day out
Miss Mae, I might miss you all the time
All day, all night
Don’t even know why
Miss Mae, I might miss you all the time
All day, all night

[Outro: All, Sean]
Just wanna sleep right
Just wanna sleep right
Just wanna sleep right
Just let me sleep right

Lyrics:
Nervous outsider, sat beside her, ask her out
Don't overthink things, slow your breathing, count it out
“Aren't you the new face? Let me show you around town.”
“I thought you’d never make the effort, let's get out.” 
Now, lets get out

Are you sure you’re sure about this?
I'm sure only if you are.
Let's live by the moment
And keep the good times rollin'
Please forgive my manners
But you’re awfully distracting
You distract distract distract me
Don't distract distract distract me

Lonely reporter, cuttin' corners, write it down
Wholesome sapphire, high attire, turn around
That look on her face when I opened up my mouth
I popped her the question, one knee sitting on the ground. 
Let's lock it down

Pin down my hands, don't let 'em hear this
Dim the lights, I love my missus

Are you sure you’re sure about this?
I've been sure from the very start.

Distract Me

youtube.com/ivypaint

The pop-punk band Ivypaint was formed in 2018 in Orlando, Florida, by Sean Duong (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), and eventually filled out by Adam Chenkus (Bass), Christian Wheeler (Lead Guitar), and Jason Flanders (Drums).

With an emphasis on catchy melodies, vulnerable lyrics, emotive vocals, and driving guitars, Ivypaint cites influences ranging from Neck Deep, to Waterparks, and Blink-182. Their debut EP "Quiet Compassion," released in June 2019, is the creative output that Duong utilized as an emotional therapy of sorts, covering topics such as failed relationships, and questionings of mental stability, all while still maintaining melodic sensibility.

Since the release of "Quiet Compassion," Ivypaint have caught buzz around the central Florida scene, and now carefully prepare for the release of their sophomore EP, excited to share everything they have in store with the world.
