Adam Tell


15 minutes gone, lost myself again
I'm thinking negatives, forgetting all my friends
Scared of where I'm going, hating where I've been
Wishing I could be in someone else's skin

Dreams are going great but then I spring awake
If I can leave my room, I might make it through the day
I need a new routine, I need something to say
I need to show myself an unfamiliar face

It's hard to train a train of thought that goes to places you don't wanna see again
Too many things to criticize. Somebody let me know I'm overthinking
It's hard to find some peace of mind when you're at war with who you are and who you've been
I've run it through a million times. I'm too convinced I'm not just overthinking

"Don't you ever change" is too common a phrase
That friends and family give out without delay
I need to shift my sails, face the other way
I'm tired of living life like its a losing game

Maybe I need a drive under the moon all alone
Maybe I'll clear my head all the way 'til I get home
But when the sun peaks through I know what he will say,
"You shouldn't let the stars steal away your days"

It's hard to train a train of thought that goes to places you don't wanna see again
Too many things to criticize. Somebody let me know I'm overthinking
It's hard to find some peace of mind when you're at war with who you are and who you've been
Cause I've run it through a million times. I'm so convinced I'm not just overthinking

No, I'm not just overthinking...

It's hard to train a train of thought
Too many things to criticize
It's hard to find some peace of mind
I've run it through a million times

Overthinking


There it is, I finally figured it out
Gimme just a second, let me jot it down
I won't let another moment slip by

It's right here, no more searching anymore
It checks out by the happy couple next door
They use this answer all the time

I'll try it out, it can't be that hard to do
The first week, sure, like breaking in new shoes
But it won't be long before it's second nature

I feel calm. It's given me clarity
Shaping all my words and carrying my feet
Never been so hopeful of the future

I know I've made progress, but I want it to breathe
I haven't been sharing it with anybody but me

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
I need to do some listening

Stay sharp, and handle yourself with care
Search for the truth, and don't chase the dare
You can so lost without warning

Have faith in the people who taught you well
And don't ever stop listening to yourself
You both know what's best for your journey

So step up, make your case, and take aim
Shoot down your guilt, release the blame
Cause I'm done with counting the score

I think back on the night I took you home
And we dragged the fighting to the phones
What the hell were we arguing for?

I'm taking my heartbreaks and setting them free
Cause none of that matters where I'm going to be

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
A little more listening

I know you think you've gone too far
Too much remorse, too many scars
It's such a shame you've been so vain
But it's not too late to turn around
Backtrack, and take the higher ground
Everyone you love is waiting

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things (full of fixable things)
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
I need to do some listening



Listening

The world is cold at rest on your shoulders
And we feel strangely pressed to grow older
The finite spring of youth won't matter
When all you have are never afters

Don't just stand there, take a bow
You came out on top some how
Surely, you won't miss your friends
They where whom you fought against

Our situations change and we follow
The terms we laid won't last 'til tomorrow
The white flags flew too late for kneeling
So strike your swords and start the rebuilding

Don't just stand there, take a bow
You came out on top somehow
Surely, you won't miss your friends
They were whom you fought against

State your name for the record please
You've been charged for your treachery
Do you have any witnesses
Who can speak for you and your innocence
Such a shame there's an empty stand
No one spared from your master plan
Give us time now to deliberate
Your sentencing while you just wait

Whom You Fought Against

Lyrics:

Crack the code, and cut the wire
Build a bridge, and start the fire
You say you’re home, but you’re a liar
Pack it up, it’s time to leave
Nothing here but disbelief
A heart that turned into a machine

Hold back, how you wanna react
Keep it from front lines, in the back of your mind 
You’ve been trying to outrun, what you wanna become
It’s all gonna catch up, catch up
You crowd it, doubt it 
Give it a room where it can change clothes, but you know
You’d rather die before you outrun, what you were born to become
You might let it catch up, catch up

Ring it out and let it dry
Wait and see what’s left alive
But be be prepared to be surprised
Did you forget the way you came?
Did your regret give you a name?
This where you change the game

Hold back, how you wanna react
Keep it from front lines, in the back of your mind 
You’ve been trying to outrun, what you wanna become
It’s all gonna catch up, catch up
You crowd it, doubt it
Give it a room where it can change clothes, but you know
You’d rather die before you outrun, what you were born to become
You might let it catch up, catch up

Close your lips and try to speak
All the words you couldn’t breathe
Close your eyes and you will see
Face ahead and take it in
A lifetime of medicine
Isn’t out of the question


When you feel you’ve lost it all
When there’s nowhere left to fall
It’s time to rise above it all

Feel the rush in laying down
See their faces turn around
As your feet leave the ground

Hold back, how you wanna react
Keep it from front lines, in the back of your mind 
You’ve been trying to outrun, what you wanna become
It’s all gonna catch up, catch up
You crowd it, doubt it
Give it a room where it can change clothes, but you know
You’d rather die before you outrun, what you were born to become
You might let it catch up, catch up
It’s time to let it catch up, catch up

Lyrics:
Big voices on the radio
Hushed whispers on the telephone
Thin walls, open airwaves
A cold case becomes a hot zone

There’s always an agenda
Only white knights and renegades
Pushing out a prejudice
And calling it “Lemonade”

They’ll always try to buy stars above
They’ll always lie about who they love
You’ve heard the names
Fake numbers get ahead in the game so
When’s push gonna come shove?

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

It takes a crowd to change a scene
No more readers to write the magazines
Betting we won’t recognize
That they decide when the rules don’t apply

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

I know I’m not alone
In using a microphone to say
What I think should be said
I’m running it in the red

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you

Lyrics:
I’m sick of living with this cloud inside my head
An echo chamber of the worst things that I’ve said
One-sided conversations getting me nowhere
I’m wasting time sinking in my chair
External stimuli are few and far between
I’ve extracted all the kicks I can from caffeine
I need someone who’s not afraid to call the shots
Someone who can connect the missing dots

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time

I’ll keep my head down I’ve been burned this way before
That sparkle always dies down till it bores me
As time goes by, I keep expecting it fade
But her name keeps jumping off the page
Noticing subtleties that used to be washed out
Enjoy the silences that used to fill with doubt
I might concede if I’d been properly prepared
But I gotta say, I thought I’d be more scared

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time

Pin-point the satellite
Rewet the appetite
Stay up until the sun runs off into the night
Wake up the daydreams
Call off the search team
I think you’re already deep into my bloodstream

First take
Let’s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let’s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I’ll play it back and see if any moments shine

Lyrics:
Going ten over the limit when I didn’t have a place to be
I was dreaming ‘bout the future, but the present got away from me
I only focused on a measure, and I didn’t hear the whole symphony
I didn’t hear the beauty

Called my mother, couldn’t help her on a crossword question
She’s a wordsmith, it’s a daily obsession
I wonder if she sees in me her own reflection

Don’t wait up for the closure
It won’t ring the door bell
We live and then we die, no other order
But we all process each moment in parallel

On the water with dad, hoping we might get a couple bites
But there’s a rain coming in, all we’re catching is tangled lines
We’ll laugh it off, sing a song, and try another time

I don’t deserve this
So many blessings on my plate
I gotta keep the most important thing straight

Big brother’s on, gonna log in and play a few
Hundreds of miles away, and we’re right back in the groove
He’s a constant even when I don’t know what to do

Lyrics:
Tracking down a runaway claim
Sifting through the trail of blame
A full review, long overdue
I’m taking myself back by the roots
Hiding in a popular cause
Bathed in undeserved applause
A constant plug, a modern drug
Scared I’ve forgotten how to love

“I don’t think I can change,” says me, the hypocrite
I don’t know why I waited to issue my personal permit
If I could do as I say, tomorrow would have been today
No more too-lates, I’m tired of saying it
I sold myself in chains to muscle memory
I put in too much of my time to watch it bury me
If I could do as I say, I’d be proud of yesterday
No more halfway to full recovery

Salvaging a faded grin
Looking from the outside in
A wounded man with folded hands
Can’t seem to follow his own plans (frozen where he stands)
Written off a story line
Simplified a complex sign
The curtain breaks, a twist of fate
Now’s not the time to hesitate

I’ve been a beggar, I’ve worn a crown
I’ve seen a sunrise skip along the ground
I’ve flipped the tables, I’ve changed the terms
I’ve tried every method but I can’t heal the burns

Full Recovery

Lyrics:
Calendar is open, the furniture’s dated
If I go out tonight, don’t wanna be persuaded
Running out of faces, it’s a failing structure
Go back to square one, and start with a whisper

Saved until it’s remade
Received but no relay
It was nothing but a first draft
It didn’t have an ounce of contrast
Another short-term getaway
A still frame in a time lapse

It served its purpose, moments of focus
I saw the future slip by unnoticed
It lives in the falsework and stays undercover
I hope my current state can hold the weight until it wants to be heard

Tip-toe over bridges that haven’t had upkeep
It might spell disaster to bet it all on black sheep
Every great idea has a long history
And every tower gets swallowed in the sea

Nail on nail, steel on steel
Construct myself in piecemeal
Skeletal and faceless
Unfinished empty spaces

Falsework

Proud of these songs! I hope you can find some meaning and enjoyment in them.

Lyrics:
Brick walls
Stumbling on a windfall
The bench is split, I’m losing it
Letting off steam
Stretching out the seams
The tension’s gone, I’m moving on

Dry land
Working with a fresh hand
The river flips, I’m jumping ship
Flooded ground
But I know I won’t drown
Head high, take to the sky

The path in front of me might make turns in sharp degrees
Lower the center of gravity
Don’t rub shoulders with a wave until it breaks
Move on and make some headway

Neck deep
Standing on two feet
A runner’s lift, a wanderer’s drift
Break the skin
And mend it back again
A falling scar, a hard restart

Good fortune makes a fickle friend
Don’t get too familiar with rising trends
Stay the course, ride out the storm
And come out of the water reborn

Headway

Adam Tell x Adustio - Goodbye, For Now [NEST HQ Premiere]

Collapse / Expand isn't a concept EP, but it is aptly named. Each of these songs survived multiple, heavy reworks and they landed where they are now. The title also comes from the fact that a lot of things seem to be ending or beginning or growing.

Lyrics:
Is anything out of place
Is anything wrong
Why do you I have a feeling
that this was a close call

My days are in order
Keeping track of time
I'm losing myself
in checkout lines

I've been getting light sleep, cold feet
So far away from the morning
I need to tune out the sound of me
Growing dependent on noise machines

Repeat conversation
until it fades away
Tangled in opinions
I can't think straight

Turned round on my directions
I'm always undecided
A quiet apprehension
that I never invited

I've been getting light sleep, cold feet
So far away from the morning
I need to tune out the sound of me
Growing dependent on noise machines

I've sunken in for far too long
I've let this noise drown out the song
I'll quantify the time that's passed
Lace up my shoes, run twice as fast

Happiness comes from within the mind
It needs constant care, it takes some time
It's possible but you need to try

Noise Machines

Collapse / Expand isn't a concept EP, but it is aptly named. Each of these songs survived multiple, heavy reworks and they landed where they are now. The title also comes from the fact that a lot of things seem to be ending or beginning or growing.

Lyrics:

Common composure is walking on thin ice
And everyone knows why
Under the surface, a market of swindlers
reselling alibis

What breaks the cycle? kindness or exile?
I don't have the answers
Flipping a mindset leaves behind bruises
Sometimes the truth hurts

When the problems become pressing
calm and collected begins undressing
Our comprehension is clearly lacking
How can we find out if we're not asking?
It's time to put down the pen and paper
Deal with it right now instead of later
Watching a blowout from the bleachers
We can't afford to keep feeding the meter

Basic assumptions get called into question
Trust but verify
Ration the bloodflow for things not essential
This all can't survive

I don't need progress, I just need movement
Something's gotta change
So can you feel it now as certain as the sun
shining through a summer rain

When the problems become pressing
calm and collected begins undressing
Our comprehension is clearly lacking
How can we find out if we're not asking?
It's time to put down the pen and paper
Deal with it right now instead of later
Watching a blowout from the bleachers
We can't afford to keep feeding the meter

Time's up, tick tock
No more small talk

Feeding The Meter
