Strange

I'm just a little bit
tired of living inside my mind
when will it all be clear?
I count the d-days down since I last relapsed
I can't relax I fear the big sad is here.
Ba da da da da da dum
I'm ready please sedate me
Ba da da da da da dum
I'm trying please just help me.
It's a strange
little world, I try to exist in
I'm a strange
little girl, but maybe I can save me
maybe I can save me
maybe I can save me
maybe I can save me
mmmm
we're all strange
universe, why can't you hear me?
I'm just a little bit
mad with myself,
I could've had some better teenage years.
I mumble through c-conversations
I try to open-up but the wolves are growing near.
Ba da da da da da dum
I'm ready please sedate me
Ba da da da da da dum
I'm trying please just help me.
It's a strange
little world, I try to exist in
I'm a strange
little girl, but maybe I can save me
maybe I can save me
maybe I can save me
maybe I can save me
mmmm
we're all strange
universe, why can't you hear me?
'Cause I'm tongue-tied,
stuck inside, but I'm
ready for another way,
to face this.
'Cause my head's high
I'll oblige, work
until my hands are dry,
I can do this.

Snowstorm
06:32
|

Little blue house, I don't move from these walls
little girl sobs, It's getting so cold
inside my head, a snowstorm awaits
but I, won't let it in.
Little bit tired from the thoughts I don't say
little bit numb from the days I wasted
inside my head a snowstorm awaits
but I, can't be afraid.
But I, will survive
can't rewind.
'Cause I was so lost
yet so strong.
I can't relapse I wish it were easy,
standing on both feet leaving this house alone
(this house alone)
I can't forget what I put my friends through
stuck in a rut asking myself, what can I do?
(what can I do?)
Beating myself up, hiding in corners,
fighting the urge to leave this house alone
(this house alone)
and I can't forget what I put myself through
stuck in a rut asking my Dad, what can I do?
(what can I do?)
Falling so fast, can I mend from this fall?
falling for her, but I'm not really sure
inside my bed a snowstorm awaits
do I let her in?
Falling too hard so it hurts even more
falling for her warmth - is that the allure?
inside my bed a snowstorm awaits
but I can't be afraid.
But I, will survive
can't rewind.
'Cause I was so lost
yet so strong.
I can't relapse I wish it were easy,
standing on both feet leaving this house alone
(this house alone)
I can't forget what I put my friends through
stuck in a rut asking myself, what can I do?
(what can I do?)
Beating myself up, hiding in corners,
fighting the urge to leave this house alone
(this house alone)
and I can't forget what I put myself through
stuck in a rut asking my Dad, what can I do?
(what can I do?)
Tired of taking two steps back,
when I think I've freed my demons
can I find a way to beat them,
beat them, beat them?
Tired of taking two blue pills,
when I'm frozen on the inside
can I find a way to feel it,
feel it, feel it?
I can't relapse I wish it were easy,
standing on both feet leaving this house alone
(this house alone)
I can't forget what I put my friends through
stuck in a rut asking myself, what can I do?
(what can I do?)
Beating myself up, hiding in corners,
fighting the urge to leave this house alone
(this house alone)
and I can't forget what I put myself through
stuck in a rut asking my Dad, what can I do?
(what can I do?)

Trouble
05:09
|

Falling down, down, out of the ship
waiting for the tide, to pick me up again
I listened once, I listened twice, but still I keep on drowning
just waiting on some good advice.
Want to believe, I have a future
but I'm lying to myself, I will be fine.
Is this it? or am I in trouble?
lost my mind, once again
can I break through bad habits?
lost my mind, twice again.
Crawling out, out, of this mess
waiting for someone to help me up again
I relapsed once, I relapsed twice, but still I keep on trying
just waiting on some good advice.
Want to believe, I have a future
but still I'm lying to myself, I will be fine.
Is this it? or am I in trouble?
lost my mind, once again
can I break, through bad habits?
lost my mind, twice again.
(and again, and again, and again, mmmmm)
Holding promises is hard,
need to do this for myself
I can't see a clear path
need to make my way through this storm.
Holding promises is hard,

I can't see a clear path

lost my mind, twice again.

Swim
04:00
|

Fall once, fall twice
you can't see an
escape, you'll wait
'til the breaking point
but i know life hasn't been so easy.
(so easy)
Reach out, be brave
I can see you, need a
good friend, who will nurture you dear
'cause I know life hasn't been so easy.
(so easy)
I can't free you from your mind,
but I'll be there if you decide
To swim though I know you feel like drowning,
feel everything to keep from breaking,
move to the music of the past that you ran from.
Breathe evenly to keep from panicking,
talk to your friends to keep on laughing,
move to the music of the past that you ran from.
Repress, digress,
I can see you, obsess
the rest, of your empty plate
'cause I know life tells you you're not worthy
(not worthy)
Skip meals, bump heels
with your family, I'm scared
aware, of the price that you'll pay
'cause I know life tells you you're not worthy
(not worthy)
I can't free you from your mind,
but I'll be there if you decide
To swim though I know you feel like drowning,
feel everything to keep from breaking,
move to the music of the past that you ran from.
Breathe evenly to keep from panicking,
talk to your friends to keep on laughing,
move to the music of the past that you ran from.
I'm so proud, that you're my friend,
you showed me love, and no quick judgement
I wanna return, what you did for me
want you to know, you can always lean on me
So swim though I know you feel like drowning,
feel everything to keep from breaking,
move to the music of the past that you ran from.
Breathe evenly to keep from panicking,
talk to your friends to keep on laughing,
move to the music of the past that you ran from.

Goodbye
03:05
|
|||
Running out of fuel to get what I want,
the future is so unclear
time to pack my books
and say goodbye
to the friends I'm leaving behind
Gotta be real, gotta be calm
gotta be fine, with what I choose
gotta make peace, peace with myself
'cause time, ain't going back.
It's time to clear out the memories, from my old closet
now that I'm free, from the lessons, I took for granted
I go home and dry my eyes, it's time to say goodbye
friends so close to my heart, it's time to say goodbye
Not so good at living in the now
the present is so unclear
pandemics, pain and grief form a cloud
trapped in our homes, trapped in our skins
Gotta be real, gotta be calm
gotta be fine, with what happens next
gotta make peace, peace with myself
'cause time, ain't going back.
It's time to clear out the memories, from my old closet
now that I'm free, from the lessons, I took for granted
I go home and dry my eyes, it's time to say goodbye
friends so close to my heart, it's time to say goodbye
Not so good with uncertainty
I relinquish all control
I'm not alone in this universe
I'm so lucky to have a home
It's time to clear out the memories, from my old closet
now that I'm free, from the lessons, I took for granted
I go home and dry my eyes, it's time to say goodbye
friends so close to my heart, it's time to say goodbye
bye ahhh to say goodbye bye ahhh
to say goodbye.
