Burnt 03:11
Everything until now had an order, everything up to this point resolved Find myself I’m thrashing underwater, and I’m overcome, I’m overcome Maybe I was waiting for a saviour, and maybe I’d imagined something more, If only, If only I Suddenly I am floating, I am weightless, and slowly it all unwinds And slowly I’m losing light Help me find the pieces, tell me I’ll be fine Help me cover weakness, or can I, just rewind, feel myself and ease my mind I’ve been pulled apart, I can’t seem to settle in If only I knew why I’m lost and what I’m caught in Help me find the pieces, tell me I’ll be fine Help me cover weakness, or can I, just rewind, feel myself and ease my mind

Do Nothing 04:19
I can see myself in future tense, my future formed I can see myself aligned There’s an alternate reflection I can not ignore I can’t help but think it’s mine I continue to be pulled in one direction, have no sense of where it leads There’s a silence and it fucks with my intentions, question what I believe In my mind repeating, the moments they come they’re gone Catch the light and keep it as long as you can Just hear me out, because I need it Please hear me now, I can’t help thinking About my honour, and all that’s missing Just hear me out, just help me fix it Some miracle, I pray to a higher power Give me some relief, I think I see further, all I feel’s uncertain of where I’ll be What does it mean, was I to fall apart I’m just afraid I can’t keep, on wondering, I need something Just hear me out, because I need it Please hear me now, I can’t help thinking About my honour, and all that’s missing Just hear me out, just help me fix it

What did I say this time, I think that you find my mistakes(again) A white flag, I’m keeping the peace here I mean no harm, did I do wrong, tell me truly I feel the cold when there was warmth, take over me Just for the record I feel so unsettled by this, it’s strange And then it feels okay, you change your mind on me, stop this game What has changed for us Figured when we started we would never stop You don’t take (you don’t ever take) my side I see only distance I just don’t see why We’re treading water, can’t find the cause (Tell me something new) I’m so unsure of what my part was, I wish you would tell the truth Tear me apart if that’s what you want (I won’t stop you) You’re free to go, I hope you don’t Just tell me What has changed for us Figured when we started we would never stop You don’t take (you don’t ever take) my side I see only distance I just don’t see why Sentiment is keeping us close but I see it eroding away I don’t want to leave but everything else seems to be heading that way Hard not to notice, how things were not the same There’s a discordance, hard to escape these days What has changed for us Figured when we started we would never stop You don’t take (you don’t ever take) my side I see only distance I just don’t see why Sentiment is keeping us close but I see it eroding away I don’t want to leave but everything else seems to be heading that way

Medium 03:58
Do you want some, someone, someone, feel you moving closer and closer Seems you are open, open, open, let me take you over and over Cause I can feel a fondness, I think there is a connection And can I give you something, can I take your time I don’t want a problem, I just thought we shared intentions I know that I’m falling, could you give a sign Do you want some, someone, someone, feel you moving closer and closer Seems you are open, open, open, let me take you over and over The sound reverberates around my head, and I noticed the closeness when our eyes met Slow down the time and maybe we connect (if I’m honest) I have got this feeling, I call it infatuation Tell you there is promise, I think this could last a while Do you want some, someone, someone, feel you moving closer and closer Seems you are open, open, open, let me take you over and over Closer and closer Over and over Do you want some, someone, someone, feel you moving closer and closer Seems you are open, open, open, let me take you over and over

Connect 03:49
You know I can’t keep on holding on to one time feelings You’re strong and I’m weak, when I lose my balance you catch me So why drag it on, if I leave, would you notice, fill the vacancy It feels wrong for some reason, I try to let go but I keep Hearing our song, in my sleep I wake up just wanting you next to me I see your face, when I close my eyes Why can’t I make a connection with you, why can’t I Lingers on my mind, I want to but we don’t align Seasons change, it subsides, the memory remains we just paused it You’re just my flickering past, you’re just a feeling that suffocates me How can the thing that I want, be resigned to some transient connection Hearing our song, in my sleep I wake up just wanting you next to me I see your face, when I close my eyes Why can’t I make a connection with you, why can’t I (Don’t let me go) Hearing our song, in my sleep I wake up just wanting you next to me I see your face, when I close my eyes Why can’t I make a connection with you, why can’t I

Strangers 03:57
Know that I’m not running, but I know until I’m lost I won’t feel free again Stay still, and they won’t notice, safe inside this camouflage from real life I come alive, but you must understand it’s only when I find myself among a type, I show myself unravel slowly We can’t see ourselves, we’re lost and found, we’re lonely people We are strangers we are fine (leave the world behind) We make sense, when nothing’s left, we live our secret lives For a time, just to leave the world behind Take me somewhere I can blend in (on my own) Somewhere that nobody knows me If only I could sink in, to find my feet again(let me go) Only one, it’s all I want, contented solely, the only We can’t see ourselves, we’re lost and found, we’re lonely people We are strangers we are fine (leave the world behind) We make sense when nothing’s left, we live our secret lives For a time, just to leave the world behind Come to realise, what feels right, this solitary life, I live mine And the need, for someone so foreign, only thoughts escape So we wait, so we wait, we get away We can’t see ourselves, we’re lost and found, we’re lonely people We are strangers we are fine (leave the world behind) We make sense when nothing’s left, we live our secret lives For a time, just to leave the world behind

Last 03:30
You’re beautiful, is that weird to say, forgive me for being forward Your hand brushes my shoulder, and the colours change, we’re suitable, what’s your name What we need is temporary, nobody wants to be broken hearted So much easier, to love and leave, don’t leave a trace Stop the conversation, we don’t need to waste, know this all will end Why don’t I just say it, I want you to stay, and we can still be friends Guess I figured we could get our fix, you can have my body Rendezvous and then be done with it, was never meant to last, with somebody So here we are, a brand new day, forgot our promises It’s such a foreign concept, a breach in the shell, surprising ourselves Momentary, never gone this long (One more taste, another day) We’re not worried, some things can’t be stopped Embrace the change Guess I figured we could get our fix, you can have my body Rendezvous and then be done with it, was never meant to last, with somebody You changed my mind, I set aside the notion we’re just playing Guess I figured we could get our fix, you can have my body Rendezvous and then be done with it, was never meant to last, with somebody You changed my mind, I set aside the notion we’re just playing

Secret 04:40
Am I not awake, Cause I don’t feel anything I’m stuck in the in between, but I just want to feel safe It was so strange, I had the strangest dream I found a world without colour, in my reflection my face had changed I’m metaphysical, it doesn’t matter nothing can be saved No longer linear, it’s familiar with different shapes Follow, let me feel the light for the first time I don’t recognise who I am Set me free from secrets, want no implications Never end this dream that I’m in Start it again, some other reality Give me zero gravity Cause I don’t want to feel weight, this weight. The walls are shifting, desaturated skies Views from a distance, it keeps on zooming out So where am I, never mind Follow, let me feel the light for the first time I don’t recognise who I am Set me free from secrets, want no implications Never end this dream that I’m in You will never find me, I don’t live here anymore I just start to find it too familiar You don’t have to worry, I don’t exist in your world If you could see what I see, You would leave it, believe me. Follow, let me feel the light for the first time I don’t recognise who I am Set me free from secrets, want no implications Never end this dream that I’m in

Bereft 04:42
Stayed until late, no questions asked, no one’s wondering Count down the hours, no sleep tonight, we spend the whole time wide awake Wait till all the colours fade, the sun resets, we were frozen still, the curbside underneath us Your face was flushed with red, the blanket’s wrapped around our legs And for a moment, we can’t sink any deeper You take my fingers, trace into your palm, the light it lingers on us Trading whispers, talk till voice runs out, throw away your honour. Wake in a house, someone else’s sheets, the sun it seeps in subtly, covers up You took one long breath, hit reset while you’re still my same long sleeve You had to fly out, victim of timing, I should have been somewhere else Thinking I hung on too tight, figuratively I meant, figured you wrongly I guess There was no plan, I went out and then, then I saw you there, I saw you there In an instant, I was wrapped around your finger Kept to yourself, my thoughts ran, if only I, if only I So I leant in, we were pressed against the speaker Wait for a while, had the image burned cause I was certain it would lead To a place, without weight, that was lost in sleep and so the dream ends suddenly
