“You pulled the world right of my....”

Differently Quirky, but so extravagantly different, to the point that it soothes the ear...

brother
i can't push this barrel any farther
cause every single step is getting harder
when all our names keep turning into numbers

so what's next
are we stuck here?
can anyone repair the mess we've made
once bright
is now unclear
will every dream we hold start to fade?
will everything we built go to waste?
go to waste? 

worried
demons show their face when they get thirsty
and every single river's running empty
have we crossed the line of no returning

so what's next
are we stuck here?
can anyone repair the mess we've made
once bright
is now unclear
will every dream we hold start to fade?
will everything we built go to waste?
go to waste?

Waste?

somedays I don't wanna remember your face
but somehow I keep all of your pictures in place
when I couldn't speak
couldn't breathe
you'd pull the world right off my back
and put it in your hand

I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
and I wanna fall asleep
forget everything
but I can't even dream without you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you

somedays I don't wanna remember our road
but somehow my legs lead me to circle our home
when I couldn't speak
couldn't breathe
you'd pull the world right off my back
and put it in your hand

I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
and I wanna fall asleep
forget everything
but I can't even dream without you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you

out of order

Out Everywhere!

“Awkward” is a single that evokes the sense of social anxiety that largely characterized lead singer and guitarist Troy Ritchie’s experience in high school. Primarily about a girl whom Ritchie, admittedly, doesn’t know very well but has nonetheless placed on a pedestal, the lyrics will be relatable to anyone who recalls adolescence as a time of petty drama or isolation. While derived from real-life experiences, the girl in “Awkward” symbolizes a phase in Ritchie’s development as a person, rather than representing any one person or relationship. Ritchie seamlessly weaves hyperbole with stark realism to demonstrate how the smallest blunder was cause for enormous embarrassment.

The track reaches its climax with a watershed moment that sees Ritchie come to the epiphany that adhering to social pressures or overly concerning oneself with the opinions of other is not only exhausting, but also a counterproductive waste of time and energy. In Ritchie’s words, “I hope listeners take the song as an invitation to liberate themselves from the shackles of self-consciousness and the unhealthy focus our society puts on the individual to be popular or likeable.” In “Awkward,” Ritchie exposes a vulnerable side of himself that fans may not have known existed.
