There's nothing wrong with the way words sound
Coming out of my mouth
Coming out of my mouth
Every time I seem to turn around
Run my hands under the spout
But nothing seems to come out
What's up next
I could take a flight or I could pick a fight
With my reflection in the rear view
What's up next
They love to suggest
I speak with my whole chest
Looking for something to adhere to
Hopped on the bus
To get my ears checked out
All I was hearing was doubt
All I was hearing was doubt
But there was nothing wrong
They say it's in my mind
Feels like I'm biding my time
Some twisted nursery rhyme
What's up next
I could take a flight or I could pick a fight
With my reflection in the rear view
What's up next
They love to suggest
I speak with my whole chest
Looking for something to adhere to

Thinking about what I can't seem to ask myself for
I'm feeling like I'm needing contact
I'm feeling like I'm needing contact
Even if it's midnight and I'm melting on the floor
Should I put it in the contract
I'm feeling like I'm needing contact
It's easier to run and hide, or maybe just ignore
I'm feeling like I'm needing contact
I'm feeling like I'm needing contact
It's so typical
If your words won't stop spilling out
And you don't know where to put things down
It's so typical
If your words won't stop spilling out
And you don't know where to put things down
It's so typical
Feeling, feeling like I'm needing you close
Feeling, feeling like I'm needing you, whoa
I'm feeling like I'm needing contact
I'm feeling like I'm needing contact
It's so typical
Even if it's midnight and I'm melting on the floor
Feeling, feeling like I'm needing you
Should I put it in the contract
I'm feeling like I'm needing you close
It's so typical
If your words won't stop spilling out
And you don't know where to put things down
It's so typical

Is there something I'm not saying
Is there something that I'm creating
I don't know what, I don't know what, I don't know what to do
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what to do
Every morning I wake up and I make my bed
Thinking all about the ways that I can leave my head
I can barely hear it, I can barely hear it
Every evening I stay awake and think of you
Think of all the ways of being that I never knew
I can barely feel it and I don't have an interest in learning all the shades of blue
Where's the balance in this brand new chapter
I think I'm much more sure what I'm after
I think I know what, think I know what, think I know what to do
Think I know, think I know, think I know, think I know what to do
Every morning I wake up and I make my bed
thinking all about the ways that I can leave my head
I can barely hear it, I can barely hear it
Every evening I stay awake and think of you
Think of all the ways of being that I never knew
I can barely feel it and I don't have an interest in learning all the shades of blue
Every morning I wake up and I make my bed
I can barely hear it, I can barely hear it
Every evening I stay awake and think of you
Think of all the ways of being that I never knew
I can barely hear it, I can barely hear it
When I'm walking I choose a pace that's way too fast
Unsustainable but most things seem to never last
I can almost see it, I can almost see it
When I'm with you we step together side by side
Watch the sand press on our toes but only at low tide
I can finally feel it, I can finally feel it, I can finally feel it
I can finally feel it

Watching the people in the square
Hand in hand
Wear your feelings on your sleeve
Never when it's convenient for me
I wish leaves would never fall
On the ground where I saw it all
I saw it all

I try to tell ya, I need a friend,
Then I remember all the words they said
It's really classic, let's keep on playing pretend
Just keep it moving, keep me out of your head
Keep me out of your head
I try to tell ya, I speak the truth
We were so caught up in our misshapen youth
No need for consolation, I think I'd recommend
Just keep it moving, keep me out of your head
Keep me out of your head
Keep me out of your head (just keep it moving)
Keep me out of your head (just keep it moving)
Keep me out of your head (just keep it moving)
Keep me out of your

There's a message, there's a message on the phone
Might regret it if you leave it alone
Say you'll save it, save it till tomorrow night
But do you mean it, scared of what comes to light
There's a buzzing, a buzzing in your brain
And it's loving the secret smear campaign
That pulls you from the self you maintain
You puncture, puncture all the holes in your culture
That make you afraid to confront the past
And all your mistakes
You don't want to always feel like you're on trial
Inside you want to make a shift in this lifestyle
There's some sort of pattern, there's a pattern you deny
It clearly matters if it always makes you cry
There's a buzzing, a buzzing in your brain
And it's loving the secret smear campaign
That pulls you from the self you maintain
You puncture, puncture all the holes in your culture
That make you afraid to confront the past
And all your mistakes
You puncture (there's a buzzing)
Puncture all the holes in your culture (there's a buzzing)
That make you afraid to confront the past
And all your mistakes (there's a buzzing)

Looking in the mirror of the cafe bathroom
Kind of thinking about what I should say to you
Checked my phone to ignore myself
No more paper towels on the shelf
I guess there's no escaping this
You were talking to yourself
While you were right in front of me
Baby, I found out what I could say anymore
To keep me from going under
I feel myself collapsing into my bed
Like my own personal avalanche
My very own personal avalanche
My human body feels like a river emptied out into the sea
The urge to take a nap hits me at four-thirty
You were talking to yourself
While you were right in front of me
Baby, I found out what I could say anymore
To keep me from going under

I'm stuck in my head, can't get out of bed
And the rain's falling down outside my window
I heard what you said, but I'm still seeing red
Feels like the world's crashing down, count down to zero
Three, two, one, I've had enough
What I've been through has had to make me tough
I don't wanna be tougher
Three, two, one, I thought I'm done
Moving through the hard stuff one by one
One by one
Three, two, one, three, two, one
Three, two, one, three, two, one
Three, two, one, three, two, one
Three, two, one, three, two, one
I'll write a new song, I'll keep trying to grow strong
And I'll start listening for some real answers
Find comfort in prose
I'll leave myself exposed
And while the world's crashing down, I'll count down to zero
Three, two, one, I've had enough
What I've been through has had to make me tough
But I wanna be softer
Three, two, one, I thought I'm done
Moving through the hard stuff one by one
One by one
Three, two, one, three, two, one
Three, two, one, three, two, one
Three, two, one, three, two, one
Three, two, one, three, two, one

I think I'm growing up
My feet don't fit my shoes anymore
Keeping all my plants alive
I know just what makes me cry
And I can tell when I see a trap door
I think I'm throwing up
Wait for the bath water to rise
Ear pressed to my phone again
Can't seem to remember when
I recognize myself on the other line
On and on we go
Am I tight walking the same old rope
I see myself on the grass below
Taking it all at my own tempo
I think I'm getting old
Noticing new eyebrow lines
When I get hungover, I'm a tossed and turning boulder
I guess that this means being alive
I'll never be the one to get away with telling lies
My face is a give away, find me in the alleyway
And I'll let you face my disguise
On and on we go
Am I tight walking the same old rope
I see myself on the grass below
Taking it all at my own tempo
On and on we go
Am I tight walking the same old rope
I see myself on the grass below
Taking it all at my own tempo

I'm going out, but it's been a while
Thought that I saw you in someone else's smile
I'm finding comfort standing by the kitchen sink
Never quite understood the meaning behind swim or sink
Swim or sink
I'm not sure what, I'm not sure what to say
When I feel led astray
When all my plants have died and floated away
I'll drink the water anyway
When you ask me when I'm going away
I'm already wasting away
When all my plans have died and floated away
Guess I'm taking it day by day
Keep finding bruises on top of both my knees
I prick myself, sewing hearts onto both my sleeves
But I can barely feel the needle sink, need to think
Can't trust myself unless I stop and think
Every day's a missing link, every day's a missing link
Every day's a missing link, every day's a missing link
I'm not sure what, I'm not sure what to say
When I feel led astray
When all my plants have died and floated away
I'll drink the water anyway
When you ask me when I'm going away
I'm already wasting away
When all my plans have died and floated away
Guess I'm taking it day by day
I'm not sure what, I'm not sure what to say
When I feel led astray
When all my plants have died and floated away
I'll drink the water anyway
When you ask me when I'm going away
I'm already wasting away
When all my plans have died and floated away
Guess I'm taking it day by day

molasses

Days blur together
Brushed apart like dust
And in your own sense of time
You're losing trust
Thick as molasses
Spinning out of control
Just waiting for your eyes to adjust
Thick as molasses
Dig yourself out of the hole
Just waiting for your eyes to adjust
There is not a single mirror in the room
But even still, a figure looms
There's a person that I thought I'd be
How naive of me to presume
Thick as molasses
Spinning out of control
Just waiting for your eyes to adjust
Thick as molasses
Dig yourself out of the hole
Just waiting for your eyes to adjust

Splash the water on my face
Rub my eyes so I can see clear
It's not my fault when it breaks
Even though I'm standing near
Holding the weight feels like some sort of trick
I lost track of when I finally found myself again
I remember when it all seemed fine
Keeping tabs on both hands
I made excuses for cracks in calloused fingers
Cleaning up the mess after it lands
I felt like my head wasn't there
But it's screwed on tightly now instead
I lost track of when I finally found myself again
I finally found myself again
