In Awe of Insignificance

I'm Telling You the Truth

Don't Want You to Love Me by talker

----

Caught crying at the foot of your love
I could say it doesn’t matter but I’ve been here before

Still holding what I wish I would want
But it’s falling through my hands and now I can’t pick it up

Cause I took my shots and made my bed
And now it feels like I might wake up dead
I’m just a cog in my machine gun head
And I can’t pretend

That I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to love me
You wish you didn’t even know me
But god I want you to love me
To love me

If I could argue with
Somebody else
Then I wouldn’t have to
Convince you of the lie that I keep telling myself

Cause I know that I said what I said
If I were you I wouldn’t take that bet
I’m just a cog in my machine gun head
And I can’t pretend

That I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to love me
You wish you didn’t even know me
But god I want you to love me
To love me

Oh, if I say it
If I say things I don’t want to feel

Oh, if I say it would it feel
Like I don’t want you to love me?

I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to love me
You wish you didn’t even know me
But god I want you to love me
To love me

Oh, if I say it
Oh, if I say it

Don't Want You To Love Me

IRL by talker

----

Wake up
You don’t know what you’re saying
You talk in your sleep again

Make this
A little less complicated
We don’t need to pretend

We can fly on by
Floating in the air and stopping time
And you can read my mind 
Like we’re never not seeing eye to eye
But we don’t do that in real life

Are we
Living inside a circle
Thinking we’re seeing straight?

Can’t help
Thinking about the after
Will we go back to before

We could fly on by
Floating in the air and stopping time
And you can read my mind
Like we’re never not seeing eye to eye
But we don’t do that in real life

I keep jumping in
I keep jumping in
I keep jumping into the sun

I keep jumping in
I keep jumping in
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

I keep jumping in
I keep jumping in
I keep jumping into the sun

I keep jumping in
I keep jumping in

Wake up, you don't know what you're saying

We can fly on by
Floating in the air and stopping time
And you can read my mind
Like we’re never not seeing eye to eye

And we can burn it down
Until there’s nobody else around

And we can dive in blind
But we don’t do that in real life
We don’t do that in real life
We don’t do that in real life

Summerlin by talker

----

It’s never been this cold 
This time of year
It’s snowing in the canyon
How did we get here? 

It’s never been this dark 
A starless sky
The weatherman can’t understand 
But I know why 

Five days in
Ended up in Summerlin
Funny how I’ve never been

Five days since
The night that I lost my grip
Wish I could stay in Summerlin

The streets whisper your name
I’m driving blind
I wonder if you ever 
Sped down Vegas drive

I know I don’t belong here
Didn’t mean to pass through
So I’ll just run away 
The same way you do 

Five days in
Ended up in Summerlin
Funny how I’ve never been

Five days since
The night that I lost my grip
Wish I could stay in Summerlin

I remember who you used to be
Left him behind when you left me
Are you happy that you’re finally free
Even if you still love me? 

Can’t we stay in Summerlin?
Come back to Summerlin
Come back to Summerlin

For the Sake of It by talker

----

I’m in the fire, of trying to do everything
Burning desire lit up the house i’m living in
I’m caving in, too sensitive and delicate
Every step forward, makes a mistake

In the weeds, pulled everything that I could get
Dirt on my sleeves, but i don’t see the garden yet
I’m digging in, still waiting on the benefits
Checking off boxes, cleaning my plate

You could say i’m doing my best
Every time i take in any oxygen

You could say just give it a rest
But I’m just gonna break and start it up again

Yeah I know myself

I’m wasting time
The more i try
Exhaust my mind

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Fighting the wind, too tired now to hold my ground
Throw myself in, it’s easy when I’m falling down

Giving in, habitual oblivion 
Sitting in silence, taking up space

You could say i’m doing my best
Every time i take in any oxygen

You could say just give it a rest
But i’m just gonna break and start it up again

I’m wasting time
The more i try
Exhaust my mind

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Losing light
I fall behind
But I still climb

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

You could say I’m doing my best

I’m wasting time
The more i try
Exhaust my mind

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Losing light
I fall behind
But I still climb

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

So sick of it
I feel so sick of it
So sick of it

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Learning The Feeling

Sad Chick by talker

----

Sorry I didn’t call
My phone’s across the room
I threw it at the wall
And I still haven’t moved

They’re gonna tow my car
And I can’t find my keys
If you think I have it all
Then you don’t know me 

Sleeping in my jeans
And tearing at the seams 
Lose it if I let it go

You think I’m a bad bitch 
Can’t you see this baggage?
Don’t wanna admit it
Baby I’m a sad chick 

I’d be a bad bitch
But I’m way too damaged
Don’t wanna admit it
Baby I’m a sad chick

At least my clothes are clean
But I still got nothing to wear
I washed them last week 
And they’re still in there

Sleeping in my bra
Too much to take it off
You don’t really wanna know

You think I’m a bad bitch 
Can’t you see this baggage?
Don’t wanna admit it
Baby I’m a sad chick 

I’d be a bad bitch
But I’m way too damaged
Don’t wanna admit it
Baby I’m a sad chick

Sleeping in my jeans
Soaking through the sheets

Sleeping in my jeans 
Soaking through the sheets 
Sleeping in my

You think I’m a bad bitch 
Can’t you see this baggage?
Don’t wanna admit it
Baby I’m a sad chick 

I’d be a bad bitch
But I’m way too damaged
Don’t wanna admit it
Baby I’m a sad chick
