idk 01:11
lyrics

Face down in a basket of brioche Dreaming my problems had no calorie count The mirror doesn’t add anymore pounds Since I hit the limit it’s just overflow now Big meeting with my hands clasped together A bit one-sided but he’s hearing me out Should I have dressed a little bit better The whole thing’s left me riddled with doubt What happened to the way that it once was We’re a lot louder but the content’s gone south (hashtag) no filter on our public appearance When the computer’s open more than our mouths I don’t know if I should stay or go I don’t know if I should stay or go

Pardon Me 03:18
lyrics

Pardon me for asking what you weigh I know it’s wrong, but it’s been on my mind for ages And by the way, when was your first birthday? I’ll start adding up the years until I know just what your age is Oh, the wind will blow The time will roll like a train that’s at the crossing Oh, the line is bold And I’ve been told that my questions are exhausting Pardon me for taking too much space I didn’t know, I thought you had found your comfort My legs are long, my shoulders have no grace I didn’t realize that you could use a bigger buffer It only goes to show That I’ve got no idea how to minimize it So the story goes The flux and flow will have me swiftly synchronize it Pardon me of what I may have done You’ve got the power and I could surely use the daylight Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’ve only just begun But every hour that I’m locked up is like a lifetime So why don’t you go Tell friends and foes that I’m tired and I’m beaten Oh, the highs and lows Have took their toll and I’m asking for my freedom

Sale on Apathy 03:21
lyrics
buy track
It’s been awhile since I’ve witnessed the glow Of fluorescent lights in a row Flickering from the endless strain Of a twenty-four hour workday Many patrons come through the doors Pushing carts while they scuff up the floors A rattling from a wheel unaligned Slowly drives me mad overtime I open up the sales ad Lo and behold I see Empathy’s backordered but There’s a sale on apathy I look around at the mice in the maze Blinders on to help them concentrate Looking out for the products on shelves Thinking of no one else but themselves Pay no mind to the stocker you see Organizing cans on their knees Have them move claim there’s no other way Fill your cart with the powdered Kool-Aid I open up the sales ad Lo and behold I see Empathy’s backordered but There’s a sale on apathy We are all strangers Within this metal frame We have forgotten How to communicate No rhyme or reason The rules will bend and break Take all your clothes off Cleanup on aisle eight I open up the sales ad Lo and behold I see Empathy’s backordered but There’s a sale on apathy I open up the sales ad Lo and behold I see Empathy’s backordered but There’s a sale on apathy

Lonesome Walker / Meadow / Gather 06:39
lyrics
buy track
Lonesome walker strolling through the forest looking for Hidden treasure underneath the roots that make the floor What do you anticipate is buried deep below? Artifacts of ancient cities time no longer knows Deep within the yellowed pages knowledge seldom known Penmanship of long gone persons held in the backbone Will this journal lead to treasure, oh what will you find? What’s ahead’s a mystery, adventure’s always blind Hollowed logs and fallen branches littering the ground Leaves give out beneath your footsteps with a crunching sound How long will you carry on for, ‘til the treasure’s found? Hopeful that the secrets in the pages still around In the meadow, tall grass grows In the forest, furry foes In the meadow, time unwinds In the forest, time is blind If the meadow is the plan Then the forest never ends For the meadow’s hard to see In the forest, far too deep

To Still Be With You 03:11
lyrics
buy track
A bottle of wine as the sun goes down A siren roaring in this broken town A neon sign still shining through What I wouldn’t give to still be with you I know you’ve found another one to hold You swear you love them, then you leave me cold You know you’ve shattered me, all black and blue What I wouldn’t give to still be with you The fireplace is growing dim I still wonder why you let them in I sit and wait here every night Hoping that you’ll soon come by I’m just a fool in love Although there is no hope for us I’m struggling to cope with this Should you change your mind I happily would shake this off Although these recent times were rough Though I know you’ve made another plan There’s still a part of me that won’t understand Why we grew apart and broke in two What I wouldn’t give to still be with you It’s just another day out on the road Not a soul around, I’m on my own Through my rearview mirror, the sun shining through What I wouldn’t give to still be with you

Bad Friend 02:58
lyrics

I’m a bad friend I don’t keep in touch And I’m sure that You don’t think of me much But I want you to know That I still care About the times we had About the dreams we shared I’m a bad friend I’m not good enough Maybe it’s my social anxiety Maybe it’s my inferiority That keeps me from calling you tonight If you knew the restlessness that I feel Maybe then I’d bow my head and I’d kneel And pray for strength throughout your fight I’m a bad friend I don’t keep in touch And I’m sure that You don’t think of me much But I want you to know That I still care About the times we had About the dreams we shared I’m a bad friend I’m not good enough We’ve spent a lot of time together But our lives tore us apart Now we live in different cities And we’re making different art I wanted to say that I’m watching you I read your words most everyday I wanted to say that if you need me If there ever comes a day That you can call on me You know I’ll always be Your 1, 2, 3 I’m a bad friend I don’t keep in touch And I’m sure that You don’t think of me much I’m a bad friend I don’t keep in touch I’m a bad friend I’m not good enough

Regret 02:45
lyrics
buy track
A woman and a man are happy Marriage was the path for them to take He left her there standing by the alter Love was one thing he’d no longer fake He never got to say goodbye to her The feeling of regret consumed the void He darted fast and spared no second thought While heading out he set off an alarm He broke the heart of a girl who was in love He left her heart in pieces and was gone He never knew the impact he had made Until the day he visited her grave He’s sorry for the things that he had done Just like her no longer he’d go on A love so bittersweet mustn’t live on Like Romeo and Juliet both gone He broke the heart of a girl who was in love He left her heart in pieces and was gone He never knew the impact he had made Until the day he visited her grave

When Will It Be? 04:37
lyrics
buy track
I’ve seen a red, red rose wither away Petals hit the ground before the break of day While it’s color loses hope, abandons the scene I wonder when will it be? I’ve seen killers survive while innocent die I’ve seen villains behave while lovers lie While the world loses hope, abandons the scene I wonder when will it be? I’ve seen poverty starve while wealthy feast They own a dozen new cars while others can’t breathe While greed becomes king, abandon the scene I wonder when will it be? I’ve seen bitter goodbyes, I’ve seen royal skies I’ve seen heaven’s pure glow, it’s rays of light While followers lose faith, abandon the scene I wonder when will it be? I’ve seen endless rain crashing down I’ve seen summer’s warm glow heat the ground As autumn, winter, spring, abandon the scene I wonder when will it be?
