Walls
03:20

Well it started off as a question and answer
A repertoire, a moment enhancer
A new life, a colony on Mars
When you cried in my arms
You opened up a window to how
I should never feel
But the empathetic side of me
Can't avoid
Something so real
The change happened slowly
But soon I could handle whatever you told me
I learned to be numb
From the words that you said
And the curses you threw
For fun, in my direction
A toxic reputation grew
Well my friends tried to warn me and my family too
But I was the savior you needed, to break through
Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I’m scared of what’s on the outside
Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I’m scared of what’s on the outside
And now you’re gone and no one can get in
I locked the door and threw away the key
And built these walls around me
And now you’re gone and no one can get in
I locked the door and threw away the key
And built these walls around me
Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I’m scared of what’s on the outside
Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I’m scared of what’s on the outside

The Repeat
03:21
|
|||
I don’t know how to speak anymore
Since the day you slammed the door
And you cut my words short
I didn’t know I could hurt anymore
Than that time you said that one line
I don’t wanna see your face anywhere
that’s next to mine
But hey, here we are
Well not we, just me, and my broken heart
And now I really don’t want to be that kind of guy
That brings up the past in our lives
But I can’t decide if this is worth talking about
Or should I just shut my mouth
Or maybe give it one more shot
Give it all we got
Give me one more chance to prove
I’ve got nothing left to lose
Had only you but now that’s through
Let me try, let me fall
Don’t hurt me when I’m so low
Let me try, let me go
Don’t play with me if you say no
This is the repeat this is the freebee
Been here before but this is a new me
This ain’t the guy that you said goodbye
Adios to last time
Let’s get a different outcome
Redo what’s undone
Switch up the income
I’m not a poor man with you in my life
I’m a rich one, that’s right
Let me try, let me fall
Don’t hurt me when I’m so low
Let me try, let me go
Don’t play with me if you say no
Don’t talk the way to me,
Like I would rather be
Somebody’s somebody
Instead of your honey
Don’t talk the way to me,
Like I would rather be
Somebody’s somebody
Instead of your honey
Let me try, let me fall
Don’t hurt me when I’m so low
Let me try, let me go
Don’t play with me if you say no

Flip Floppin
03:25
|

Well it’s a beach ball kind of day
It’s colorful, but the wind blows it away
Sun while we play, but the clouds cover the rays
I don’t know why but I keep flip floppin my thoughts
I’d rather not but it’s hard when it’s not my fault
I don’t know why but I keep flip flopping my thoughts
I’d rather not but the voices make it hard to stop
They come in like the rising of the tide
Blow up like the Fourth of July
Sometimes I think unexplainable things
So I go to my mind, take a trip to beach
The water cools my head
And it keeps me on my feet
The sand makes my bed
And I drift to sleep
I don’t know why but I keep flip floppin my thoughts
I don’t know why but I keep flip floppin my thoughts
I don’t know why but I keep flip floppin my thoughts
I’d rather not but it’s hard when it’s not my fault
I don’t know why but I keep flip floppin my thoughts
I’d rather not but it’s hard when it’s not my fault
I don’t know why but I keep flip flopping my thoughts
I’d rather not but the voices make it hard to stop

Holy Ghost
03:25
|

I’m not your holy ghost but I’ll give you strength when you need it most
I’m not your superman but if you fall I’ll lend a hand
I’m not your one and only don’t call me up if your feeling lonely
But if you need a friend I promise I’ll come back again
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again
Are you a believer in the things heard, behind closed doors
Do you place any faith in the rumors
Spread like tumors voice to voice
Sometimes the truth hurts, but what hurts more is lie told by a Trusting soul with an ulterior motive
Hoping to gain a foothold for bonus
But I’d never lie to you
And that you know to be true
So why are you faking this altercation
My poor heart can’t take it
Ooo
Please stop
Ooo
Try not
To fall but if you do I’ll be there to catch you
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again

My Dog
03:48
|

I miss my dog
Or maybe I miss something else
Sometimes it gets hard to tell
What went wrong
When this house don’t feel like a home
When I’m all alone
Grab an pillow and a blanket
Build a fort we can escape in
Why does my mind
Feel like it’s dreaming most of the time
I miss my rug
It hung on the wall
Right over the sun
I want to jump
But I can’t even run
I miss my friend
I want him back over again
I miss my friend
I want him back over again
I miss my friend
I want him back over again
I miss my friend
I want him back over again
(I miss my dog)
I want him back over again
(I miss my dog)
I miss my friend
[repeat]
I miss my dog
I want to play with him under the sun
I miss my friend
I can’t wait to see again

Take Your Time
04:00
|
|||
Take all the time that you need
You’re taking my life casually
But I don’t mind cause I can see
The way that your love was made for me
I don’t need your answer straight away
You can take your time to rearrange
All the thoughts inside of your brain
Am I crazy or are you insane for thinking that I want you back
After all, I did say that
I don’t want you But I need you
My thoughts choose sides and they bleed through
All the walls I have for protection
Around my heart when I feeling affection x2
I didn’t think that you’d fight for me
When I pushed you away I thought you’d be
On the next bus out of town, but now your back, and I am down
For anything or anyone to come around and pick me up and wipe my shirt of all the dust that clings to me like I am rusting like a tin man
But I have a heart, but do I have a brain, or do I lack a part
For thinking that I want you back
After all I did say that
I don’t want you But I need you
My thoughts choose sides and they bleed through
All the walls I have for protection
Around my heart when I feeling affection x2
Take you time, and I’ll take mine (repeated)
I don’t want you But I need you
My thoughts choose sides and they bleed through
All the walls I have for protection
Around my heart when I feeling affection x2

What If
03:11
|
|||
I don’t think
We should be
trying to be something
more than friends
It might be less boring
But at what cost
Maybe we’d fall in love
Grow up and get a dog
Raise a kid fight and split
Make it up and love again
But what if not
What if instead we lose it all
I know I shouldn’t put stock in the words
That I heard in my head when we’d lay in my bed
And the voices would say all the shit in the way of our
love and relationship
love fades away and it
Hurts
But maybe that’s the point
To learn
What’s worthy of a sacrifice
Of course
I’d say you
But of course
I wouldn’t tell the truth
Take what I say with a grain of salt
They’re not worth their weight in the gold that I’ve lost
I’m not quite as serious as I claim to be
Crack a smile make em laugh that goes down easily
