Lyrics:
I didn't mean to hurt you
When I hurt myself
It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
No I didn't mean to scare you
But I couldn't see
That when I went to hell I was taking you with me

When I close my eyes
I'm climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
and I don't wanna take you down with me

(Take you down
Take you down with me)

This life is like a razor
When it cuts I bleed
But it's in my hand and I'm doin' it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
There's no way now you could rescue me

When I close my eyes
I'm fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me

You need to let it go now
Before you drown
I know that you won't understand
But you need to let go of this hand
Cause I'm going down
And I don't wanna take you down with me

Letter:

Yo Fam,

I've been wanting to share something super personal for a while and just wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I'm at the point now where I've heard countless stories from you. Some of you have said my music changed your life, helped you through depression, addiction, a lost loved one, the list goes on. Honestly, I feel bad because you don't know how much that truly means to me, because I've been there too... In the depths.

Six years ago I overdosed on heroin. I struggled with opiate addiction from a young age. I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction, and truly hated myself. It was such a dark time for me and my family because when it gets bad enough, hope begins to dim and there's no escaping reality. I'm not telling you to preach or say how I found some magical cure or that everyone needs to live like I do. I'm the biggest advocate for people living their own lives and spreading their own love in their own ways. I'm just sharing my story and relating because music saved my life too. With everything that has been going on with my career, I always keep reminding myself of that. My main goal with music is to try and help people overcome their struggles and also enjoy the moment.

With all that said , 'Take You Down' is about my struggles with addiction and what it can do to families and loved ones. It's more specifically about my mom, and how no matter what, she never gave up on me and always continued to see the good even though all I was doing was messing up. To anyone struggling like I did, not just with addiction but anything in life, I hope you guys can find peace in your struggles and know that anything can be overcome. I've been clean since that overdose and I owe that to finding my passion and being surrounded by the most loving people I could ever ask for. Thank you for always listening and being open. Thank you for sharing your own stories and your love of music with me. Love you all forever :)

Lyrics:
Intoxicating your kiss
Intoxicating your lips
Nobody does it like this
I find it hard to resist, oh-ooh
Feeling out of control, beautifully sold
What’s coming over me?
It’s a total eclipse of rationality

I don’t usually say this
I don’t usually play this game
Yeah, I know I’m not faded
But it kinda feels that way
I don’t usually say this
But I think I should let you know
That baby, baby I don’t, I don’t wanna go

How could I go home
When I feel like I belong in your arms
It’s like Champagne, feel it pouring in my veins
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I’m crashing here tonight
Tonight, tonight
So I’m crashing here tonight

Hey, are you really this good?
Damn, are you really this good?
Baby, you’re just like a drug
I’d bottle you up if I could, oh-ooh
Feeling out of control of your chemicals
What’s coming over me?
It’s a total eclipse of rationality

I don’t usually say this
I don’t usually play this game
Yeah, I know I’m not faded
But it kinda feels that way
I don’t usually say this
But I think I should let you know
That baby, baby I don’t, I don’t wanna go

How could I go home
When I feel like I belong in your arms
It’s like Champagne, feel it pouring in my veins
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I’m crashing here tonight
Tonight, tonight
So I’m crashing here tonight

How could I go home
When you’re all I wanna know?
Come on, let me see your bed
It’s too late for this to end
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I’m crashing here tonight

How could I go home
When I feel like I belong in your arms
It’s like Champagne, feel it pouring in my veins
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I’m crashing here tonight
Tonight, yeah I’m crashing here tonight
So I’m crashing here tonight

LYRICS: 
Verse 1:
Did I say something wrong
Did you hear what I was thinking
Did I talk way too long
When I told you all my feelings
That night
Is it you,
Is it me did you find somebody better
Someone who, isn’t me,
Cause I know that I was never your type,
Never really your type

Pre-Chorus:
Overthinking's, got me drinking,
Messing with my head
Woah

Chorus:
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is I'm sorry
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I’m coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

Verse 2:
When you said it was real guess I really did believe you,
Did you fake, how you feel, when we parked down by the river that night
That night
That night when we fogged up the windows in your best friends car,
Cause we couldn’t leave the windows down in december
Woah

Chorus:
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is I'm sorry
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I’m coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

Pre-Chorus:
Overthinking's, got me drinking,
Messing with my head
Woah

Chorus:
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is I'm sorry
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I’m coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

LYRICS:
I can’t listen to these stupid songs 
Cause they all remind me that you’re gone 
I’m still sleeping in your favorite Tee 
Pictures I just can’t delete 
Don’t know how to be 
How to be alone 

If I can’t live without you 
I can’t live at all 
I’m sick of finding reasons 
To feel the way I did before 

I don’t wanna waste another day
I don’t wanna wish that you would stay 
If I know I should let go 
Why do I hold on to you? 

I don’t wanna waste another day 
I don’t wanna say I’m not ok 
If I know I should let go 
Why do I hold on to you?

I’m still listening to this stupid song 
Like I don’t know where it all went wrong 
All my friends are asking where you’ve been 
Memories keep on creeping in 
Don’t know how to be, how to be alone 

I don’t wanna waste another day 
I don’t wanna wish that you would stay 
If I know I should let go 
Why do I hold on to you? 

I don’t wanna waste another day 
I don’t wanna say I’m not ok 
If I know I should let go 
Why do I hold on to you? 
Hold onto you 
Why do I hold on to you?

Why oh why do I lose my mind when I hold on tight
No I don’t wanna let go 

Don’t wanna let go
I don’t wanna let go 

I don’t wanna waste another day 
I don’t wanna wish that you would stay 
If I know I should let go 
Why do I hold on to you? 

I don’t wanna waste another day 
I don’t wanna say I’m not ok 
If I know I should let go 
Why do I hold on to you?

LYRICS: 
Flame still burns
Kerosene
Rise and fall
As I breathe

All these pictures on the screen
It’s almost like they’re real 
And I think that I’d do anything
If it meant I didn’t feel
What I feel
And I feel way too much
Truth is NO ONE GIVES A FUCK

That’s why I don’t try
That’s why
I stay high
I know that you’re never gonna hear me
I know that these words’ll go to waste
That’s why
I don’t try

Tried my best
Doors still closed
Love is deaf
For all I know

Sometimes it gets so hard
And I don’t wanna fight
And everyday that passes by
Feels like it might
Be my last
And I feel way too much
Truth is NO ONE GIVES A FUCK

LYRICS: 
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND JUDGE ME
JUST SO THAT YOU CAN SAY YOU’RE RIGHT 
YOU CAN TRY TO RISE ABOVE ME
BUT WHAT’S UNDERNEATH IS YOUR OWN LIES
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO UNDERSTAND ME
OR REFUSE TO SEE THE OTHER SIDE
GO AND CALL ME THE ENEMY
I’M ONLY TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
WHEN A WAR WITH EACH OTHER
IS A WAR AGAINST OURSELVES
WE BOTH LOSE WHEN WE START THE FIGHT 

OH NO OH
NO PROOF OF GOD ABOVE ME
I ONLY KNOW WHAT I SEE
AND WE CAN ONLY HELP OURSELVES 

ALL TOGETHER 
YOU CAN TRY TO SEPARATE US
DRAW A BORDER WITH YOUR MIND
YOU CAN SAY THAT WE ARE DIFFERENT
WHEN WE WANT THE SAME TO SURVIVE 
WHEN RELIGION AND LEADERS
STILL REMAIN IN BETWEEN US
WE ALL LOSE IF WE CAN’T ALIGN 

OH NO OH
NO PROOF OF GOD ABOVE ME
I ONLY KNOW WHAT I SEE
AND WE CAN ONLY HELP OURSELVES

LYRICS: 
I know the way the story goes
The first part is the fun
We leave the room a little cold
To keep each other warm
Just for a minute
‘Fore the bombs are hitting
And every night it turns to war

Thought we had a vision
Don’t know what I see in us
No more

Cuz we’re halfway broken
Tryna make up
Damage already done

And it’s only
One way down
Guess now we’ll join the club

Where everyone falls so hard
And everything falls apart

But we know we
Still got heart
Here’s to the broken ones
I used to know your breathing sounds
You’d sigh me off to sleep
We just lie in quiet now
Both wide awake but
Dreaming of that minute
‘Fore the bombs were hitting
And every night it turned to war

Thought we had a vision
Don’t know what I see in us
No more

Cuz we’re halfway broken
Tryna make up
Damage already done

And it’s only
One way down
Guess now we’ll join the club
Where everyone falls so hard
And everything falls apart

But we know we
Still got heart
Here’s to the broken ones

LYRICS: 
Your energy 
Holds on to me 
Still wrapped up in your strings 

Those words you speak 
They cut so deep
I still feel everything 

I am not your enemy 
So why do we keep fighting 
I am not your enemy 
So why are you still trying 

To take me down 
When every piece of me is underground 
To break me down 
When every piece of me still needs you now 

I see your pain 
It’s on your face 
You’re talking through your teeth 
Can’t rearrange 
My will to stay 
And you make it hurt the worst 
Cause you know me 

I am not your enemy 
So why do we keep fighting 
I am not your enemy 
So why are you still trying 

To take me down 
When every piece of me is underground 
To break me down 
When every piece of me still needs you now

LYRICS:
Told me I shouldn’t watch got in your car and then we were nothing
All the nights in your room shit we got through left in your dust
Don’t know what you got but I thought we had it
Now I’m supposed to act like it doesn’t matter
Well I’m writing it down getting it out here’s to me hoping

Someday I’ll come home
And feel like no one’s even gone
Play this at my shows
And know that I’ve been moving on
Someday I’ll go to bed and I’ll forget I’m lying in your spot
But until someday comes
I’ll be writing sad songs

Wish that there was a way I could have saved one little moment
Pull it out when I can’t handle the pain of knowing it’s over
I was so intact on the night I met you
Now I’m making sad songs inside my bedroom
But I’m writing it down getting it out here’s to me hoping

Someday I’ll come home
And feel like no one’s even gone
Play this at my shows
And know that I’ve been moving on
Someday I’ll go to bed and I’ll forget I’m lying in your spot
But until someday comes
I’ll be writing sad songs

ILLENIUM - Nightlight

LYRICS
V:
I could run
I could cry
I could plead
I could say it’s never gonna get any better and leave
I could throw my hands up
I could fall to my knees
I could tell myself I’m strong enough to give all the love that I need
But I still need you

CH:
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don’t know which way is right
Love me when it’s hard
I promise that I’m not
Leaving from your side
And when I fall apart
Promise in the dark
You’ll be my nightlight

V:
I could count
Every time that I’ve fallen
Even when I’m in so deep it gets hard to see
You’re still all in
I’ve been lost
By myself in the darkness
Know that I can find my way even on the days when it’s hardest
But I still need you

CH:
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don’t know which way is right
Love me when it’s hard
I promise that I’m not
Leaving from your side
And when I fall apart
Promise in the dark
You’ll be my nightlight
