Discontent 03:34
lyrics
buy track
I've been staring at life as it passes Through eyes like windows I've been building fires and emptying glasses But I'm still cold I swim through deep thought when I try being social Like what would it matter if you understood? Well I'm not so sure that it could Reality, it floats away I disassociate from the masquerade So give me a straight jacket Lead me to a white padded cube So I won't have to run away So I won't have to run away Anymore I've been pushing away all the good things Like a soulless widow Stay at a fair distance Control your drunk mouth I'm fine on my own Trust is a weird idea And talk is price-tag-free But I'm sure you'll make your thoughts heard And send my eardrums back to sleep After my apologies Don't seem like I mean them

Numb 06:22
lyrics
buy track
I stretch out to touch But I've been stuck inside my head for months now I can sense your warmth But I must stop to question what it's made of From the ground up, I'm unstable Why must I struggle to savor... These moments that just seem to come and go? Whose hands, in the end, will I be left to hold? Cause I've been so numb What is love, I don't think I was meant to find out Cause I've been so numb I've run out of things to cry about Cause I've been so numb Cause I've been so numb I've been so numb... Well I hope that someday you'll understand It's hard not to choke When you're smiling face down in the sand And it's not by choice That I've been brought up by a nervous wreck So don't put your money on me To preserve, is your safest bet From under some skin to a table That exchange could drive a man right up the wall I'm attached to these disconnected cables I've counted them all...

Liability 02:40
lyrics
buy track
Well I guess I can't make up for what I've done I can only say I'm sorry and move on And if there's no redemption And the clouds aren't filled with love You'll have no choice but to admit to me I tried The regret is only crippling to my pride But we always End up in the same place We're all born with flaws And we'll die with our mistakes So i guess I'll just forget about it somehow My only refuge is somewhere in my head now Well I guess I'm not so special anymore Luckily such self-entitlement is something I avoid I know someday I'll get what I deserve But I guess that will depend On what I think I should've earned I know someday my hoping won't just hurt Yeah, I hope someday I know just what I'm worth But the self doubt Always makes it's way back around And the darkness comes closest When I'm by myself So would you accept all my apologies? Could you afford the liability Of holding on to someone like me?

Adolescent 04:14
lyrics

Adolescent hands Are not meant to touch like ours did We were coal for the devil's train But you never hear it comin' When you're crossin' the tracks I should be asleep But I'm scared that I might dream of you again Touching me, like we could ever touch again Like I could ever make you smile again Cause I doubt highly that you feel guilty So tell me, what are we doing? Cause I can't seem to let go And grasping at straws makes waking up so awful It's a buzzkill like empty bottles Or hearing conversations while mouths are moving But you're not sure if it's just in your head And you're afraid to ask about it It was a weird time in your Mother's bed I couldn't get it up, I was too nervous Now, I wish I would've kept it to myself I wish I would've kept it to myself They were the best of times In your best friend's bed Until her Father had to get up for work Now I wish you would've loved somebody else I wish I would've loved somebody else Cause now it hurts to see your face It makes me question my place in this world Is it next to you? Or is my pride just holding on... To something that was never meant for me? Adolescent hands Are not meant to touch like ours did We were coal for the devil's train But you never hear it coming When you're crossin' the tracks

about

What these songs represent most to me is a coming of age and a changing of times. All of them were written over the span of about a year and were recorded in the span of about 3-4 months. If you're reading this, I hope you can relate or at least appreciate the sentiments in some of these songs. If not, this could get a little awkward...
