Platforms

Define success in numbers
Define excess in artistic integrity
Why can’t I be happy for you?
Is it my ego or sincerity?
What happens when those platforms disappear?
Who are you underneath? ‘Cause it’s not clear
I think I lost something
I think we lost something dear
What happens when those platforms disappear?

Recycle Nostalgia

What do you do when you’ve become a parody of yourself?
And you’re playing the part
You’re acting so well
My vanity keeps me in shape
Anxieties keep me awake
And I’ll never learn until I figure out that once you stop chasing
-it’ll come to you
It’s all adjacent
Recycle Nostalgia
A time we never knew
Print it on a t-shirt and sell it back to you
Recycle Nostalgia
A time we never knew
Print it on a t-shirt and sell it back to you
You’re scrolling and scrolling through headlines
You missed the point
They’re making deadlines
They’re making some coin
I recite it like it’s fact
Cutting corners like it’s an act
Who cares if it’s accurate? It’s not writing
Come on, come on
Make it enticing
Recycle Nostalgia
A time we never knew
Print it on a t-shirt and sell it back to you
Recycle Nostalgia
A time we never knew
Print it on a t-shirt and sell it back to you

Giving Up
02:55
|

|
Maybe instead of falling for each other we can fall apart
And question why it is that we would try, we would even start
Cause if you never try you know you’ll always regret
And wonder where it is that all your memories and good times went
I don’t want
I’m not giving up
I don’t care
If you’re giving up
I don’t want
I’m not giving up
I don’t care
If you’re giving up
Kill me with all of your darlings and i’ll kill you with mine
It’s not my lack of ambition
It’s my deadly dreamer’s state of mind
I will never be the same
What about you?
Try hard as you might
It’s not all in my head
I’ll do what I do
I don’t want
I’m not giving up
I don’t care
If you’re giving up
I don’t want
I’m not giving up
I don’t care
If you’re giving up
Falling was hard
But I hope that you’re well
Easy is easier
But to me that is hell
Falling was hard
But I hope that you’re well
Easy is easier
But to me that is hell
I don’t want
I’m not giving up
I don’t care
If you’re giving up
I don’t want
I’m not giving up
I don’t care
If you’re giving up

Falling into habits that once were seen as rude
Replacing society’s norms with something strange and new
People can’t stand silence so they look at their phones
Oh, how good it feels to be together alone
Remember when conversations were a two way thing?
Remember when we looked each other in the face?
Remember when conversations were a two way thing?
Remember when we looked each other in the face?
Tell me is there going back or is it a phase?
Tell me when is it we got to the digital age?
I don’t see you in person anymore
Tell me is there going back or is it a phase?
Tell me when is it we got to the digital age?
I don’t see you in person anymore

Cynic

It’s so cool to be a cynic
Easy to be a critic
Much harder to be genuine
Tough not to be a mimic

Circles

How could you stay by my side?
When I didn’t believe them
How did you forgive my lies?
When I didn’t believe them
How could you stay by my side?
When I didn’t believe them
How did you forgive my lies?
When I didn’t believe them
How did you know I wouldn’t run in circles ‘round again?

Be A Man
02:53
|

|
You were raised at a different time
But I respect your take so why can’t you respect mine?
I thought you matured as you grow
But it turns out my parents knew nothing at this age
I don’t need to be told to be a man
I just need for you to understand
Don’t need to be told to be a man
I just need for you to understand me
I just need for you to understand me
He pulls a mock dress out of my bag
And makes a quip about my earring
Don’t own a toolbox man
I prefer the kitchen
You seem a little too concerned how my interests coincide with my sexual preference
I can show you a dark place to store those thoughts
Just give me a call
I don’t need to be told to be a man
I just need for you to understand
Don’t need to be told to be a man
I just need for you to understand me
I just need for you to understand me

9 years of this
And I still want more
A goodbye kiss
And a greeting at the door
There’s a million other paths I could take
But I’ve already made that mistake
I found love in the early days
A feeling I can never erase
I want a life of quiet nights with you
Wandering the streets of somewhere new
We’ll never run out of things to do
I want a life of quiet nights with you
Your crooked grin
Still drives me wild
A secret look
Every part of me smiles
There’s a million other paths I could take
But I’ve already made that mistake
I found love in the early days
A feeling I can never erase
I want a life of quiet nights with you
Wandering the streets of somewhere new
We’ll never run out of things to do
I want a life of quiet nights with you

Video Subscription

I kept my old video subscription
For that french new wave film I wanna see
But tonight’s just another night of re-runs of that sitcom
With friends in NYC
And I’ve got a stack of books I haven’t got to yet
But there’s a new one coming out
I wanna get it in hardcover to live up on
Live up on the shelf
This just in
I’m a fake, a fraud
I fooled you into thinking I’m the real deal
I cropped the parts out I don’t want you to see to keep them hidden
Hidden and concealed
And i’ve got a stack of styles and personalities to match the feel
I’ll have you questioning what is the truth and what is real
I’m just trying to impress you
Just impress me
I wanna reference the right thing
Do I lack substance or just need a drink?
I’m just trying to impress you
Just impress me
Just wanna reference the right thing
Do I lack substance or just need a drink?

Something New

I wish I could’ve been there
I wish I could go backwards
The finality is killing me and sometimes I have a knack for
Thinking only of myself
So what the hell did you come back for?
I’m changing into something new
And this time I can see it’s true
I die a hundred times
When your lips don’t meet with mine

The Other Side
03:18
|

It felt far
It felt a ways away
Didn’t think this would be it
Wouldn’t get a chance to say
Goodbye
So long
Adieu
Don’t know when the next time is that I will see you
I’ll see you on the other side
I’ll see you on the other side of this
I’ll see you on the other side
I’ll see you on the other side of this
I’m in a car
Driving away
Like a bullet through the night
Thinking of the days
Possibilities weren’t few
Don’t know when the next time is that I will see you
I’ll see you on the other side
I’ll see you on the other side of this
I’ll see you on the other side
I’ll see you on the other side of this
These things come and go
I just wasn’t expecting it
How can you foster growth?
When our realities are split
When the ending comes up short
When I’m standing at the door
When we’re washed back to shore
I’ve been here before
