Compromise
02:54
|
|||
Build myself up to tear me down
Speak low and make no sound
Say something referential
Sell me off pound for pound
Go take another photograph
Something to make em laugh
Then second guess all of the traits
You thought you knew you had
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you lookin so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief,
But what’s it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
call it compromise
Fall out of love and out of line
Say “I won’t waste my time
With little things like empathy
And calling someone mine”
Another day on the fence
Another bridge i can’t mend
Stuck with the hell in my head
(Just echo what she)
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you lookin so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief,
But what’s it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
call it compromise
Watching me go down
Living life in a Ghost Town
Make me Speed up and Slow down
(Find my place in the background)
Watch me Feign exhaustion
Help me Cope with caution
Pressure Makes me nauseous
Guess that’s why they call this compromise
Spend the night with catastrophe
Hold my breath while I try to sleep
Why you lookin so plain?
Pray for some sort of relief,
But what’s it worth if you like to bleed?
Forget my name
Deep down, I think I love the rush of the guilt
Write down about a thousand lies
Hate myself for the hundredth time
call it compromise

Endeavor
03:08
|
|||
I saw you swallow the sun and call yourself enlightened
I felt your breath on my neck and my chest it tightened
One of Me
Wants to live off the landjust leave no trace, And make no plans
One of Me
Wants to be a go getter, reach such great heights to be a trendsetter
Call me out
Pull me in
Give me something to hate
Cut the loss
play to win
But you’re struck in my brain
Take a breath,
miss a step,
Play this like it’s a game
We never could endeavor
waking up in a dream that resents my nightmare
Had everything that I need still I couldn’t fight fair
Everywhere and nowhere
One of my wants the money in hand, just hide my face, and take no stand
One of me wants my head to feel better, correct myself, just try and go get her
Call me out
Pull me in
Give me something to hate
Cut the loss
play to win
But you’re struck in my brain
Take a breath,
miss a step,
Play this like it’s a game
We never could endeavor

Only Be Mine
03:19
|
|||
New hearts breathe life into mine and I see
Bright eyes, they shimmer and shine
But they never stay for the night cause
I hope that you might
Wake up and fill up the space with all the
Late nights and some pretty face But I don’t
Hear one word they ever say
Cause I miss your taste
I traded my soul for this
Breaking in my skin
I shoot and I always miss
Body feels lived in
Is there something on tv
Just to waste my time
But what good is lonely
When I’ll always only be mine
Staring down phantoms at night they always
Catch me with smoke in my eyes now I’ve
Sung this song too many times
And it feels like a lie
Wear my - hunger and heart on my sleeve
And That’s why - the ones I love always leave
I Couldn’t - say what you wanted from me
I forgot how to speak
I traded my soul for this
Breaking in my skin
I shoot and I always miss
Body feels lived in
Is there something on tv
just to waste my time
what good is lonely
When I’ll always only be mine
Tomorrow’s a nightmare, I’m dreamin today
And my head is haunted, the past just can’t stay
The devil you know, yeah he comes and he goes
I’m selfish and vapid, I hide in my prose
I traded my soul for this
Breaking in my skin
I shoot and I always miss
Body feels lived in
Is there something on tv
just to waste my time
what good is lonely
When I’ll always only be mine
I traded my soul for this
Breaking in my skin
I shoot and I always miss
Body feels lived in
Is there something on tv
just to waste my time
what good is lonely
When I’ll always only be mine

[Verse 1: Victor Viramontes]
Some things never seem to change
And every day I stay the same
Moonlight swelling through the trees
It never seems to wane
[Pre-Chorus: Victor Viramontes]
Sometimes I feel like I'm a silhouette, like
My imitation leads me towards regret
Sometimes I wish that we had never met
I'm faking every step
[Chorus: Victor Viramontes]
You're stealing all the breath out of my lungs
Got me in the dark speakin' in tongues
Tell me, when did this stop being fun?
We're undone and uncomfortably numb
You're stealing all the breath out of my lungs
Got me in the dark speakin' in tongues
Tell me, when did this stop being fun?
We're undone and uncomfortably numb
[Verse 2: Taylor Acorn]
Disconnected, out of mind
I’m unaffected by the times
Misdirect me on a dime
Break me with something slight
[Pre-Chorus: Victor Viramontes, Taylor Acorn, both]
Born into compromise, raised on white lies
They say the road to hell is paved with gold
At 25, I feel content with caution
Dodging my halo
Dodging my halo
Dodging my halo
[Chorus: Taylor Acorn & Victor Viramontes]
You're stealing all the breath out of my lungs
Got me in the dark speakin' in tongues
Tell me, when did this stop being fun?
We're undone and uncomfortably numb
You're stealing all the breath out of my lungs
Got me in the dark speakin' in tongues
Tell me, when did this stop being fun?
We're undone and uncomfortably numb
[Bridge: Victor Viramontes, Taylor Acorn, both]
The seasons change
We stay the same
'Til we're blue in the face
I need the pain
To soothe my brain
[Chorus: Taylor Acorn & Victor Viramontes]
You're stealing all the breath out of my lungs
Got me in the dark speakin' in tongues
Tell me, when did this stop being fun?
We're undone and uncomfortably numb
You're stealing all the breath out of my lungs
Got me in the dark speakin' in tongues
Tell me, when did this stop being fun?
We're undone and uncomfortably numb
[Outro: Victor Viramontes, Taylor Acorn, both]
Uncomfortably numb
(The seasons change, we stay the same)
(The seasons change, we stay the same)
We're undone and uncomfortably numb

Permanent Vacation
02:59
|
|||
I caught my flight
Touchdown, red eyes
Spent every night
Awake In beds that weren’t mine
Had no money
Dumb and naive
I found my peace
in places I had never been
Waking up dead in a different time zone
Lost my shoes and I can’t find my phone
Woah oh-oh, Woah oh-oh
Far from home, not alone
I’m Locked and loaded fire away
Permanent vacation from my brain
Extend my stay another day
Far from home, not alone
It rained all day
No choice but to stay
To broke to pay
my way back home
No cards, no car
Happy thus far
In parks and bars
I fall asleep alone again
Waking up dead in a different time zone
Lost my shoes and I can’t find my phone
Woah oh-oh, Woah oh-oh
Far from home, not alone
I’m Locked and loaded fire away
Permanent vacation from my brain
Extend my stay another day
Far from home, not alone
Maybe I’ll stay and waste away (x4)
Waking up dead in a different time zone
Lost my shoes and I can’t find my phone
Woah-oh oh, Woah-oh oh
Far from home, not alone
I’m Locked and loaded fire away
Permanent vacation from my brain
Extend my stay another day
Far from home, not alone

All The Ways I Could Die
03:12
|
|||
Stumbling
Home through the rain
Temptations tattooed on my brain
Wondering
Why can’t I just be
happy with me as I am
Suffering
Through all the signs,
Blind to all the times I was fine
Used to say
“I don’t play fair I play god
and that’s all that I’ve got”
I just can’t wait to go sit in my room,
Contemplate all the ways I could die
Self sabotage is an old friend of mine
and self care just isn’t worth the time
Done the rearranging my mind for the chase
Won’t let all my ambition go to waste
If everything’s nothing, then what’s left to blame?
It all changes and nothing’s the same
seeing sound
Crisis abound
Found Nobody’s really themselves
Paradise
wasted on me
Now let’s see how I fail by design
I just can’t wait to go sit in my room,
Contemplate all the ways I could die
Self sabotage is an old friend of mine
and self care just isn’t worth the time
Done the rearranging my mind for the chase
Won’t let all my ambition go to waste
If everything’s nothing, then what’s left to blame?
It all changes and nothing’s the same
OOOOooOOooo
Watch me Fall out of fashion
The high’s finally crashin tonight
OOOOooOOooo
All my demons disguised
and my faults all reprised
Find myself in a lover,
the thought makes me shudder
they’re just like the others,
backtrack and recover
Now I just can’t wait
to go hide in my home
Shut the door be alone
Brace the fall on my own
I just can’t wait to go sit in my room,
Contemplate all the ways I could die
Self sabotage is an old friend of mine
and self care just isn’t worth the time
Done the rearranging my mind for the chase
Won’t let all my ambition go to waste
If everything’s nothing, then what’s left to blame?
It all changes and nothing’s the same
