Running out of Time

I went to therapy today in the clothes that I slept in
Tried to keep the darkness away, but it still crept in
I did my best to keep these thoughts from bringing me down
Like what'll I do when Mom and Dad are no longer around?
Went to work today without my cigarettes
With nothing to distract me from what hasn't happened yet
I did my best to keep these morbid thoughts at bay
Like what'll I do when my cat passes away?
Tell me what the future holds
Just growing up and getting old
Is this the lie we're sold?
And I'm walking on a line between being a mess and being fine
'Cause I'm running out of time
Went to the bar today without my credit card
Just to keep me from going too far
I still spilled my guts to everybody there
But it doesn't matter, no one cared
Tell me what the future holds
Just growing up and getting old
Is this the lie we're sold
And I'm walking on a line between being dead and being fine
'Cause I'm running out of time
Someone show me how to cope
I'm at the end of my rope
But I've got a thread of hope
Fold my hands and shut my eyes
Lift my head up towards the sky
Scream what'll happen when I die?
Ready, set, go!
Ready, set, go!
Ready, set, go!
Ready, set, go!
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me where I'm gonna go
Ready, aim, fire!
Ready, aim, fire!
Ready, aim, fire!
Ready, aim, fire!
If I'm lucky, I'll retire
Tell me where we're gonna go
Running out of time,
Running out of time,
Running out of time,
Running out of time,
The future's always on my mind
But I need you by my side
The future's always on my mind
What'll happen when I die?
The future's always on my mind
But I need you by my side
And you are always on my mind

Imposter Syndrome

Keepin' it together with a clever disguise
Of a kintsugi mask with golden eyes
Ask Oedipus why we choose to be blind
There's a capitalistic entropy that feeds our demise
Will no one listen? It's a sleeper's delight
To just turn up the volume and drive
Through the warning signs
Keepin' it together at a fast-paced rate
Where you'd think I'd be speakin' tongues from outer space
There's an existential longing in your static eyes
It's a window to truth, where your aesthetic lies
Cause it says no worries, gotta keep it in time
With the Hakuna Matata line
But we ain't alright
Well, C'est la vie, a mon ami
I'll take my leave
When all the armored archetypes reveal the tricks up their sleeves
To make us think in a brand new light so that we aren't what we seem
This message of our generation's in a bottle sent ahead of its time
We're tossing a moltov cocktail up yeah, say it's from me
We'll keep it together with a clever disguise
Of a stage and a smile and a witty/waiting line
Last call for surrogate jaded smiles
'Cause keepin' up appearances just ain't my style
I prefer the suspension of a vintage adieu
And the sad melodic blues
of an unsequestered muse

Work in Progress
02:24

I took my meds but they haven't kicked in yet
I made my bed but I haven't left it
I gotta hangover the size of a fighter jet
And I'll drink again to forget it
I am forever a work in progress
Not always getting better but I do my best
Because you never know when something might come 'round
And put your whole damn life to the test
Slow down and take it easy
You don't know what you're doing
Just settle down now
And find your stable ground
To be blunt I never thought I'd get this far
Because I never really set a bar
But now I'm giving it my all and I won't stop until I have no gas in the car
I am forever a work in progress
But what that even means is anyone's guess
Because eventually you're gonna trip up
And you might make a mess of it
Slow down and take it easy
You don't know what you're doing
Just settle down now
And find your stable ground
I am forever a work in progress
Not always getting better but I do my best
Because you never know when something might come round
And put you to the test
I am forever a work in progress
I am forever a work in progress
I am forever a work in progress
I am forever a work in progress

Wool Eyes
03:34

Let's take it back to where it all began
In the back of my mind lives a little white house
Filled with artifacts of bleeding hearts damned
Well, that look that you gave me I must have misread
My story drones on and you're gone
But it's not the end
You're just another one of my kind
You're the rarest form of common
Keep telling myself that there'll never be another like them
But then I see a new pair of eyes
Pull the wool over mine
And I'm off again
Some of us feel it so much
Where each one is the one that I've truly lost count
Used my fingers, my toes and my teeth
And I'm starting to believe
You're just another one of my kind
You're just another one of my kind
You're the rarest form of common
And I keep telling myself that there'll never be another like them
But then I see a new pair of eyes
Pull the wool over mine
And I'm off again
Swiftly the years have gone by
And with each passing hour I fall for another
Maybe I've just learned to love life
But maybe it'll work this time
Maybe it'll work this time
You're just another one of my kind
You're the rarest form of common
And I keep telling myself that there'll never be another like them
But then I see a new pair of eyes
Pull the wool over mine
And I'm off again
You're just another one of my kind
You're the rarest form of common
And I keep kidding myself that there'll never be another like you
Then I look in your starry eyes
pull the wool over mine
And I'm off again

Happy Song
03:08

Gonna take a shower
Gonna shampoo my hair twice
And when I make my lunch
Not even use the instant rice
Gonna toss the moldy dishes
Gonna dust off all my wishes
Gonna paint a lipstick smile on my face
Sing a happy song
Even when I feel like shit
You can sing along while we fake it
Sing a happy song
When it's inappropriate
You can sing along 'til we make it
Hands out grasping wildly for my future that awaits
Don't mean to follow blindly
But I have to take the bait
I'll keep on living 'til it kills me
Keep on loving 'til it heals me
And even I can't stop me
Even I can't stop me
Sing a happy song
Even when I feel like shit
You can sing along while we fake it
Sing a happy song
When it's inappropriate
You can sing along 'til we make it
Gonna care for myself if it kills me
But my mind is too fast for this body
Gonna care for myself, can you hear me?
Just cause you can't see it, doesn't mean that it's nothing
Sing a happy song
Even when I feel like shit
You can sing along while we fake it
Sing a happy song
When it's inappropriate
You can sing along 'til we make it
Sing a happy song, even when I feel like shit
You can sing along while we fake it
Sing a happy song when it's inappropriate
You can sing along while we fake it
'Til we make it

Calm Down
03:36

One, two, three, four!
It was two a.m. when the walls caved in
I had a dream where I couldn't win
And chased it down with half-priced gin
Turned on the lights and locked the doors
Buckled down and hit the floor
Until I couldn't dream anymore
Tuned in, turned off, big dream, small start
Thank God for the holes in my heart
They let me breathe and keep me from falling apart
'Cause it's got me good and gone
Tuned in, turned off, turned up too long
'Cause everything I do is wrong
Breathe in, breathe out,
Let it go now
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
Cause I overthink
And I never blink
And I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
All that I can do is ride it out
No one wants to see their therapist cry
And no one wants to watch somebody die
But all these things they are always on my mind
Breathe in, breathe out, but not too loud
'Cause if they hear then they'll figure out
That all these things they are always on my mind
Breathe in, breathe out,
Let it go now
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
Cause I overthink
And I never blink
And I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
All that I can do is ride it out
Get me out of my mind (Breathe in, breathe out)
Get me out of my mind (Let it go now)
Get me out of my mind (Breathe in, breathe out)
Get me out of my mind (Let it go now)
Get me out of my mind! (Breathe in, breathe out)
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
Cause I overthink
And I never blink
And I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
All that I can do is ride it
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
Cause I over-blink
And I never think
And I'm forgetting how to breathe
I can't calm down now 'cause you told me to calm down
All that I can do is ride it out
