Just the Way Things Are

I can’t get scared
I’m never alone
Maybe it’s just
The way things are
You’re always scared
You’re always alone
Maybe it’s just
The way things are
Lost in my head
Im never alone
You always said
I had a home
I gave it my all
Left it to chance
Now my head
Is buried in hands
I could be scared
And sometimes alone
Maybe it’s just
The way things are
You could be scared
And sometimes alone
Maybe it’s just
The way things are

Guerrilla Stage

Oh baby we’re older
And maybe we’re colder
Don’t give me that smolder
And lend me your shoulder
Ah, it’s a habit in the highest of degree
I got 87 seconds left
no tricks up my sleeve
My heart is feeling heavy
I don’t even breathe
All this frantic banter
What’s it even mean
A minute 17 to think about it
I Can’t understand
I don’t wanna be around it
Uncomfortable in this guerrilla stage
Have no desire to speak here anyway
Oh baby we’re older
And maybe we’re colder
Don’t give me that smolder
And lend me your shoulder
(X2)
Ah, it’s a habit in the highest of degree
I got 33 seconds left
no tricks up my sleeve
My heart is feeling heavy
I don’t even breathe
All this frantic banter
What’s it even mean
Only 22 to think about it
I Can’t understand
I don’t wanna be around it
Uncomfortable in this guerrilla stage
Have no desire to speak anyway

Exile Suit

Someone pleas come talk to me baby
Why you all acting shady
Making me a little crazy
And if we were to fall into places
Recognizing all these faces
Everybody needs their spaces
When this happens I see exile suits
And they all look so clean
If This is what you mean
Cause here I am in my exile suit and I’m by myself
And I don’t have anything
And I’m so left out
Well and I will not have
This happen to me
Now I am alone
In my exile
Suits you well
I’ll see you in hell
Can we please just pretend to operate
And we fuel all this hate
It is making me insane
And even if I escape own brain
For the sake of being plain
I don’t want to be the same
Cause here I am in my exile suit and I’m by myself
And I don’t have anything
And I’m so left out

Half Eaten Sandwich
02:19
|

|
If you’re hungry
It’s me
Im your half eaten sandwich
You’ll see
Make me all time
Sloppy second mind
Have a day with me
Like I said you’ll see
And What you may see is real
Please tell me how you feel
Life can sometimes be a bitch
I’m a half eaten sandwich
You are not
You’re a full
Chew me up
Spit me on the the ground
Step on me
And I can hardly breathe
In this plastic bag

Cabinet's Open
02:30
|
|||
|
Sitting in the attic
And staring at the walls
my hands are always dirty
And the buckets always full
Shiny silver lining
Is Facing to our backs
And inside that bucket
one hundred empty bags
Gonna feel ok
Run away
Not today
From it
cabinets always open
Maybe stay or walk away from it
There’s a short supply
And high demand
And if I’m not careful
I walk with empty hands
Gonna feel ok
Run away
Not today
From it
cabinets always open
Maybe stay or walk away from it
