The Masterplan
04:37
|

I'm not as undercover as my FBI friends
I can't study as hard between the book ends
Maybe thats my problem
Maybe I can solve them
Maybe it's just out of my control
I can't keep up with the bachelor
I don't know what I'm after
It gets real hard some days
Balancing my pleasure with my GPA
I guess it's all the same wherever I go
I'm still questioning my control
Gimme answers gimme answers
Give me empathy
Show me some sign of life
I need a remedy
I don't see this coming through
I think the message got lost in your point of view
Try to listen just a little bit longer
I have a master plan
I don't dress as nice some friends
They make me look nice on the weekends
I spend so much time on the small things
Soon they become everything I focus on and think about
I need to relax
I need to learn from the past
And put it all in the plan
I promise I have a plan
I don't doubt I can change your mind
I just need to make up mine
Gimme answers gimme answers
Give me empathy
Show me some sign of life
I need a remedy
I don't see this coming through
I think the message got lost in your point of view
Try to listen just a little bit longer
I have a master plan
I'll improv what I can
And I'll lean on my friends when I need them
That's all I got for a master plan
I'll learn from them what I can
I'll call that all my master plan
I've got so much time
To figure it out

I don't like the silence anymore
These streets don't seem as busy
As I thought they'd be
Misplaced words
Train of thought's been escaping me
Left the station
Right around the same time
Me mistaken
I made my brain a land mine
Tremors in my tenor have been lost in the lull
Spent the whole day just staring at the wall
And I am continually surprised
At my ability to visualize your eyes there
I don't like the silence anymore
O
I don't like the silence anymore
O
It's been a long day
And a longer night
But I need you more than I need sleep
It's been a long day
And a longer night
But my bed is putting up one of those fights
I told you about
Earlier this week
I know I know
You're probably asleep
I miss your vocal vibrations
The ones we use in conversations
Use our imagination
Illustrate that there's no separation
Through our headphones
Sing a verse that you know
And I'll recommend another one as soon as your done
Walk up and down these halls
Singing that you're all I need
But it won't get me far
Cus I can't make time pick up any speed
I don't like the silence anymore
O
I don't like the silence anymore
O
It's been a long day
And a longer night
But I need you more than I need sleep
It's been a long day
And a longer night
But my bed is putting up one of those fights
I told you bout
Earlier this week
I know I know
You're probably asleep
But by chance if you're awake
Could you let me know
It's kinda lonely up here
Surrounded by my fears
Irrational I know

Two Homes

I've got two places that I sleep
Places that I eat
Places that I feel so welcome
Two patterns in my feet
Maps for in-between
I'm not getting lost
I swear
I'm straight outta here
But I'll be coming back
I'm always coming back
I need space to grow
To be on my own
But my attitude can change
And I'll end up feeling strange
So I'll call you up
To calm me down
Thanks for what I've learned
My love was more than earned
It was well spent
It was well spent

We think we're average when we're out of it
Who isn't up on their social cues
I think we've mastered being counterfeit
The place is smoking like we blew a fuse
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Let’s fall asleep
It feels like it’s been weeks
I can feel it in my knees
My “wants” turn into “needs”
It's true
My thoughts are bleeding through
You think you need it too
(But there's always issues)
His show doesn't get played every day
But I still hear it about it through monthly updates
So
I hear that karma isn't kind
I heard about the fines
I heard about what they found
In the freezer
I really hope you find your harmony
I hope it's one that doesn't come out of a cup or a blunt or a puff of smoke or a lie or a life that you made a joke
Consider calling but I’m hanging up
Don’t even make it to the tone
Can’t avoid that we’re growing up
But grow apart? I can only hope
I can only hope
(It’s more than smoke rings)
I can only hope
(It’s all the little things)
You learn to float
(And that’s what really stings)
I can only hope
(It’s all the little things)
We think we're average when we're out of it
Who isn't up on their social cues
I think we've mastered being counterfeit
The place is smoking like we blew a fuse
It's more than just alone time
I'm just saying it's been hard to find
Just me
Just you
Just us
Alone with our addictions

Drives Me Crazy
04:08
|
|||
Time this week has gone so slow
I'm making the move out my window
Drop to the ground
Run around and set up space
No more patience for saving face
Cus in my room I feel the panic
Not moving around can feel so strange
I'm not trying to be dramatic
Sorry, I'll save it for the stage
(Scene change scene change)
Ooo Ooo
Ooo Ooo
These are not the best years of my life
But so far they're my favorite
Dancing in a daze it's all alright
But sometimes I'm indifferent
Playing with snakes until they bite
I'm just trying to savor it
But sometimes I'm indifferent
So pour me another while no ones looking
Then pour me out onto the floor
The alcohol is down the hall and I'm gonna fall down it
I left my senses at the door
And it drives me crazy
And it drives me crazy
And It drives me crazy
But I'm great
What are you talking about
I'm so open minded my brain might fall out

Works

So Im sitting down and I'm writing now in a room of my own
Haven't figured out all the money stuff
But I figured out how to be alone
I'm surrounded by people who plagiarize
Whats lays behind their disguise behind eyes inside their minds
See it doesn't take much to throw me off
It doesn't take much at all
Search engine crashes down
Just around the time I need it
Figures...
Maybe I should crawl back to my home, my hole, my house
Chill out
Face down
Daydream
Plan out
My thoughts
Be me
It's just that easy
To get swallowed up in all your
Words that ease me
And I'm surrounded now by all these works
These works of art
Your works of art
So I'm pacing now
There's no sitting down
Down the aisles
Stretching miles across ground
Please don't make a sound
Please don't make a sound
That sorta thing is frowned upon in here
Oh hear me near me dear me
Little known facts about me
You too
My skin must be tougher cus you can't get it to bruise
Focus focus
Lose focus
I can't help but think of you
It's gonna get harder
When we don't share a common room
It's just that easy
To get swallowed up in all your
Words that ease me
And I'm surrounded now by all these works
You wanna go somewhere?
Put it on the map
You be something?
Put it on the map
Attract me
Distract me
It's just that easy
To get swallowed up in all your
Words that ease me
And I'm surrounded now by all these works that please me
Audible Visual mental and physical
Stimulate me
There's still so much to do
You gotta a lot to do
You're my favorite kind of procrastination
And it's just that easy

Home again with an argument for two
She's late again with a lousy excuse
"I had some extra stuff to review"
Couldn't wait to talk so we ended up in the bathroom
And we looked into the mirror like a parody of Adam and Eve
And I'm Laughing for sake of finding remedy
Cus I think it's kinda funny that you're running with the money
Stealing loot and missing duties
Do we have to try rebuking all the time
The thoughts and feelings reeling back and forth inside our different minds?
So why not try
A different method of exposure
Leave the sun screen back at home
Maybe this time will turn out better
But if not hang up the phone
Do I have know your head?
Because I'd rather go to bed
Can we put this thing to rest
Maybe call it off instead
I get the gist of what you said
I think it's better if it's dead
So let's welcome back Lazarus
She's so hazardous
And she knows not what she does
Except for when she knows she does
And she does it so well
Oh well oh well
I'll say to myself
Leave the rest up to you
As I retire to my room
I'm just so tired
Of this
The ups and downs and all arounds
My time is ruled my timers
Find the clock and cut the wire
And sleep for forty days and forty nights
Do I have know your head?
Because I'd rather go to bed
Can we put this thing to rest
Maybe call it off instead
I get the gist of what you said
I think it's better if it's dead

Things Didn't Go Our Way
03:47

Scribble down some stupid stuff
Is it worth it?
Fake and phony chains of mail
And searching for a purpose
Back down to the old pond
Throw in my rock
Maybe make a little ripple across surface
I can see it out
I can sort it out
But it still makes me nervous
Come home, look back, collapse, fall down in a chair
Flip through plastic memories and games of truth or dare
Lean back and stare away
Look back from all the grey
Until I can get some air
Being drunk and tired don't mix well
Unless I'm next to you ah what the hell
I know I have been on the down low
And I know I needed time to take to it slow
To get it right
To a song
A song for you
To sing along to
But then again I don't even know what I want to say
Things didn't go our way
Coughed up smoke and spoke your name
It was more of a whisper but it sounds the same
When my voice is shot short by a shock of sorts
Writing something pointless Forgetting what the point is
Lists all bullet pointed
An aimless brainless playlist lacking patience
I'm not in a good place
And at this pace I'm overlapping itself
Maybe if we just
Hold your ground now
We could adjust
Slow it down now
I don't know where I'm going with this
So show me where the window is
I know I have been on the down low
And I know I needed time to take to it slow
To get it right
To a song
A song for you
To sing along to
But then again I don't even know what I want to sing

Hammocks
04:01
|

I feel complete
I'm finally warm
So lemme hear those words again
Rewind and restore me
Write a list on the back of your hand
Spend time on my headaches and sickness while you can
And I'll be waiting
Stress free
Don't be afraid to scratch up ur knees
Take time
It's not a long walk from your room to mine
(Unwind)
But maybe I'll make it awkward
And maybe I'll want to die (ow)
It happens when you stare me in the eyes
(Staring contests)
I wanna spend some time on the hammocks
I wanna spend some time with you
My desk
Consists of a mess
But let me digress
Let's have a look at what's left
Iced coffee on post-it note coasters
Tickets and pamphlets
And conversation openers
I got lists of things to do
But I think I can squeeze in you
Sleepy shots and polaroid pictures that means
Dancing in a dorm room next to you
"Boom"
Programming sounds to wiggle in and make you giggle and make a mixtape for you
Neither roomie makes room in the room so I assume that we'll have to make due
But we'll get used to it
I wanna spend some time on the hammocks
I wanna spend some time with you
I wanna make some see through excuses
I wanna spend some time with you
I wanna spend some time on the hammocks
I wanna spend some time with you

It feels like we're stuck in traffic
But we're going the same speed
We kicked people out of bus seats
Couldn't find a place to eat
Gas station food to hold us over
Making faces at each other over our shoulders
And we know it's already getting started
And we know it's already getting started
I need to calm down
I need to calm down
I need to calm down
I need to calm down
I found out about what gravity can do
And it rhymes with wrong
Rushed the strip
Ate some fish
And look who tagged along
Now we're making up songs in the practice rooms
But we're moving on quick just in case we have to
I don't want to get caught taking up space
Supercuts and a not so good one
He's taking notes on the placement of the sun
Feeling little at the overpasses
Driving through wall flower bridges and forgetting classes exist
It's only been two minutes
But it feels like so much longer
I couldn't feel any better
And all he can taste is hot and cold
It feels like sunset weather
Falling over trying to take notes on my phone
So I don't forget what I don't know
Talking girls in a different postal code
Brad's been watching the same six episodes
I don't know
I don't want to think about it
TMI TMI TMI
But curiosity still gets the best of me
I'll just see how that turns out later
Change the background on my phone
So it reminds me of more of home
I keep getting distracted
Sinking deeper into this mattress
It keeps deflating
Until I'm laying in the ground
I don't know up from down
The room is turning round
Even given all of that I still feel safe and sound
I couldn't feel any better
And all he can taste is hot and cold
It feels like sunset weather
Falling over trying to take notes on my phone
So I don't forget what I don't know
It feels like sunset weather
I couldn't feel any better
All he can taste is hot and cold
How could this ever get old
I don't ever want to get old
I don't ever want to get old
Slow it down again why not...
I'm down for coffee the next day
Wish I could stay but it's fine
It's alright
On the bus ride home we're already starving
But it's ok
There's a rest stop in sight

Running Wild

I feel like the last domino
Falling over
With nothing to catch me
But the ground
And it won't make a sound
Cause no one was around to hear it
So there I go falling
I'll end up calling it an accident
While I'm face down in cement
I'm getting used to the taste of it
Shake it off real swift
Shake it off real swift
Rinse and repeat
Rinse and repeat
But it's still my fault
The blame is all on me
I've been living in my memories
On my own private island
I'll just sit there I'm smiling
While nostalgia keeps me warm
I can sit here all day
Wasting away
But I got bored
And wanted something more
Intangible
More manageable
Self sufficient
Oh I can be efficient
Let me be efficient
I might just surprise you
I can see the headline:
Party goer guy goes missing
Find him in the backyard drinking
Staring at the sky and thinking
How did we get so small?
Are the big guys cheating?
I wanna knock down a wall
There's something inside me eating
Away away away
I want to go away
Until I get bored
And want something more
Intangible
More manageable
You caught me at a bad time
I think I'm running out of time
I think I need to make more time
I'm gonna run wild
Running wild
I feel like running wild
I feel like running wild
I feel like running wild
I feel like running wild
I feel like running
Running wild
I know I need to use my time
I'm running wild
And it drives me crazy
And it drives me crazy
