You're not like them
but I can't explain why that's true
The voice is yours
The words are from somebody new
I hate your mum
and don't like the person you've become
I wish I did, I wish I did
You miss New York
If I tell you to visit, you don't
You want to talk
but I can't stand the sight of my phone
Now that you're gone
admit that the choice you made was wrong
and I'm not insane,
I don't want to cause you any pain
but I wish I did, I wish I did
Forgive and forget
I don't think I need to do that yet
It's not as hard as before
I don't even miss you anymore
but I wish I did, I wish I did

Time on our hands
seems like the only thing we have
We're walking in circles and breathing in fumes
trying to get through the day
I'm looking for answers, I'm sick of my room
I just gotta say
that I know I'm not really alone -
we're all on our own
I don't know your name
I don't know your pain
I don't know how anybody keeps on going
One day at at time
Each evening there's fireworks on the street
The sound of a city in tears, trying to heal,
it knows that it won't
We sit on the couch, my hand on your leg,
my heart rising up in my throat
Inside my head it's all blurred
I can't find the words
I don't know your name
I don't know your pain
I don't know how anybody keeps on going

Note to Self (demo)

leave behind the day, it’s a fish on a line
if you let it go another will come in some time
meanwhile crack a cold one, here, take one of mine
you feel like shit but you’re probably fine
There are days that just don’t go well
days when there’s nothing else
days when you hate yourself
feeling like a bird who forgot how to sing
got stuck in oil and now you can’t use your wings
Trapped in your mind and all of your memories sting
Scared you didnt do the right thing
baby you will one day
maybe it ends okay
will it be worth the pain?

Brighter Moon (demo)

I wake up, get the paper
Check my email, I’ll do it later
Wish the news came with a warning
By the evening I’m in mourning
It hurts to stay connected
Feels like being infected
I hope it’s coming soon, the
day when I’m immune, when
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
It’s like a cut, or a splinter
Hiding deep within your finger
You pull it out and it exposes
a little hole which one day closes
That’s kinda how I’m feeling
My mind is slowly healing
One day it will seal and
I’ll pretend this isn’t real, and
that I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
I’m looking out for a brighter moon
You say it’s coming soon
Why is it always coming soon?
I’ll give it another night
Then I’m staying inside
One more night, one more morning
One more day, wake up yawning
I will land in safer harbors
Every day they’re getting darker
There’s a light inside me
Clinging on so tightly
I can almost feel it
begging me to keep it lit
But I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore.

Sing Out (demo)
02:35

I would hit a kid to feel inspired
I would sell my soul to be less tired
I would rob a bank for twenty dollars
I would answer to an unknown caller
Where does life begin
outside, within
I'm addicted to my phone
scared I'll die alone
I want to run in circles til I throw up
I want to play with fire until I blow up
I want to think my life is undiminished
I want to feel something before it's finished
Where does life begin
outside, within
Why is it so hard to exist
What have I missed
I want to write some different lyrics
to write a song and want to hear it
to make a jump and know I'll clear it
and when I sing, I want to sing out

Sometimes days you just feel sad
The autumn’s good, the winter’s bad
And you run, and eat kale, and you win, and you fail
The sun’s in your eyes but the wind’s in your sail
When you shake
When you feel stranded
You’ve really just landed
The waves get worse when you’re close to shore
The bumps can hurt and make you sore
And you sway to and fro, and the sun’s hanging low
You feel like you’re crashing but the next day you’re home
When you shake
When you feel stranded
You’ve really just landed
I know you’re lost
I know you’re lonely
The anchor falls slowly
