Crawl Closer 02:18
lyrics
buy track
It’s like I’m trapped inside an echo Can you hear a word I said? What I said? I can hear you through the voicemail Are you gettin in my head? My head? Crawl closer It’s over Can you understand? Don’t you understand? Crawl closer You chose her Don’t you understand? Just like you planned? Can you handle all the fallout? You told me that you’d break my heart Split it all apart Can you make out all the pieces? Don’t you know where to start? It’s your favorite part I know you’re always first to break it I figured it was finally my turn I wanna make you learn I got the power I’ll hold it Now I got you in my grip I better not trip It’d be a shame

Bravado 02:06
lyrics
buy track
If I showed feelings If you caught feelings If I was vulnerable That was a mistake That was the first take Don’t get comfortable I’ve got bravado Like a crescendo You thought I was honest I’m El Desperado That’s my nature Can’t help comin through I always used to feel too much Now I don’t ever feel enough Am I catchin’ on or losing touch? I always wonder do I feel too sad? Is my happiness too abstract? Are my verses all fallin’ flat? If you think you saw me It wasn’t really Anything at all I’m always hiding Won’t be caught lyin’ About anything at all I paint a picture You read like scripture You turn the pages For just a flicker

Prescription Relevance 02:18
lyrics
buy track
You say you’re a taurus But you’re really just a bitch You love to ignore us I’m never on the list You’re always talkin’ But rarely ever think ‘Cause you know everything Baby, I can bag it on the first try Call me–call me faggot on your worst night I don’t need your call my phone is off tonight I’m not a friend of Dorothy Straight out of the closet Say you’re gonna flaunt it Not the poster boy you wanna be So true to yourself You look like everybody else I’m just a blemish I’m pure malevolence I make you manic Prescription relevance You gotta take it With a peppermint Baby don’t fall in

Escapism in the 21st Century 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Pourin’ from my mouth So unheard impossible Stories read aloud Tiny words inaudible Blockin’ out the noise Turns to mumbles for a while Only hear my voice Soothin’ tones and lies Think of somethin’ better Like a dream whatever All it takes, you’re gone Maybe you close your eyes and see the weekend Maybe you lock the doors and no one comes in Maybe you hear this song and know the feelin’ When the real gets too real lie a little more Somethin’ in the fog Pokin’ through my memory Unwritten in the song Another lost reality Only in my mind Tryna leave it all behind Only runnin’ for a while I come back down every time

Cup of Tea 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Oh, from the ocean in my cup Reflected back at me The world I drink it up Rich and soft like tea Oh, from the ocean in my cup I spot you out at sea I could scoop you up And place you down by me Oh, in the corner of my eye I see someone I know On the edges of my mind From everywhere I go Oh, from the ocean in my cup I see myself in you I wish I could pull you up But I learned to just swim through

Follow the Ghost 03:13
lyrics
buy track
“Once the tooth fairy gave me a chocolate bar” “Wait, so if my hair falls out is there a hair fairy?” “There’s no hair fairy” “There’s no hairy fairy?” Losin’ the ends of a frayin’ seam Follow the ghost down stream Takin’ my thoughts out to pasture I never want to let go Ridin’ my horse to disaster Hopin’ he knows where to go Stuck on a path through the desert The vultures start flyin’ in close They see the way so much better I just feel the wind blow Followin’ somebody’s footsteps But darlin’ if they disappear The cactus will serve a distraction Like drinkin’ up all of my fears Stuck in the past with a weary dream Follow the ghost down stream Losin’ the ends of a frayin’ seam Follow the ghost down stream The shade on the edge of the roadside Bathin’ in shadows and trees Leavin’ me dappled in sunlight It’s bringin’ me onto my knees I think about you in the sunrise Like i’m paintin’ out all my regrets Meltin’ back into the sunlight A moment that won’t ever set Broke in my shoes many years ago Breakin’ in all of my dreams I wanna live there so comfortable Follow the ghost down stream “There probably is a hairy fairy with a big arm pit” “Okay buddy, I gotta go” “Bye bye” “I love you “Love you too” “Three, two, one”

I Don’t Wanna Be Alright Just to Be Alright, Again 02:01
lyrics
buy track
Woo I don’t wanna be alright just to be alright, again Not tryin’ to fetishize Bein’ sad with my friends I’m tryin’ to moralize Between the good and bad dead ends Desperation is glorified But I just can’t escape A crime of passion is normalized But that can’t be the same I’m tryin’ never to be ashamed And failin’ every time I never wanted to be the same But everybody else seems fine I sometimes wish I could understand How love songs make you feel (how you feel, how you feel, how you feel) I translate every fucking line But it all feels too surreal (It’s nothing real, it’s nothing real, it’s nothing real, it’s nothing)

Who is Will for Short??? 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I’m left without The truth of my philosophy Keep comin’ back I’m filled with doubt Standing in the light of my hypocrisy On my account I’m fillin’ in the gaps that you don’t wanna see the truth comes out I’m letting go of all the shreds of secrecy A bandit I’m a bandit Stuck in disguise I’m a bandit I–I’m a bandit My head holds a price Cast out from the sky I’m all alone Understand the state of vulnerability It’s all unknown Wrestling with the truth of my identity It’s all pretend There’s nothing real to grasp in this reality The truth defends Gripping to the edge of my morality I steal from inside Make out in the night

Somebody Else (Bandit) 04:06
lyrics
buy track
I wrap you up with imitation I let you down to your frustration, else Am I somebody else? You get pulled in by my flirtation I spit you out, no explanation, else Am I somebody else? At the edge of my vision, flashes like a warning At the edge of my vision, something is distorting In my face in the mirror, someone is performing At the edge of my vision, something might collapse, I start to see the cracks All I see are my stories swimming in abstractions All I see are my stories tryna hide my actions Can’t ignore all my blindspots feeding my reactions All I see
