Bounce Back (edit)

Super impressed by my buddy @dough-factory 's rhyming skills on here! This one started out as a beat from Ryan, I added trippy synth, organ and guitar noodling then sent back to him. He mixed, arranged and added the killer vocals as well as some record skips that add a nice touch.

Lyrics
He got bottles of dreams to keep hiding himself away from life
he said he’s gotta be the best or there’s no point in trying tonight
it takes too much time to get up and not enough time to fall down
he was always getting somewhere didn’t think he’d ever get tied to this town (no not to this town)

Can you hold on
Tell me Can you hold on

She got two more lives to go now then she’ll finally stick around and she’s been around
the bag she’s trying to drown in sponsored by online love she never found no she never found
she got excuses ready and waiting every one’s got its own special place it’s her special place
with too many hang-ups and over’s you can’t rewrite the lines in your face no not on your face

Can you hold on
Tell me Can you hold on
Hold on for another day
Hold on don’t be afraid
Hold on we’ll find another way
Hold on just hold on
Hold on please hold on

And if you had your chance again 
would you fall down the same paths
cos The world inside is empty 
if you can’t see past the past
and if you had your time again 
would you walk in another’s shoes
cos the choices are so empty 
if you’re too much a fool to lose
yeah your world inside is empty 
if you’re too afraid to choose
you’re too afraid to lose 
can you see past your past

And hold on for another day hold on now
Hold on don’t be afraid hold on now
Hold on we’ll find another way so hold on now
Hold on just hold on
Hold on please hold on


Bottled Dreams (Hold on)
