Compass

A non-magnetic compass
It points without direction
It knows just what it wants
But no way of how to get it
It's led me to a crossroads
Deserted and uncharted
But time continues endless
I try to sleep to stop it
But I could see the shape of things
Of what's to come the future brings
On and on I'll chase a dream
To help my brain feel safe in sleep each day
Don't think too hard now
We're just young
New people fill the spaces
The crossroads population
We may not have direction
At least we have companions
A train roars in the distance
And smoke plumes billow from it
My compass gaining traction
Our eyes light up to greet it
Is this all we've waited for
Salvation from external sources
Placed in our lap stay the course
We'll judge you purely based on decor
But I could see the shape of things
Of what's to come the future brings
On and on I'll chase a dream
To help my brain feel safe from sleep each day
Don't think too hard now
We're just young

We're Running Out

Tell me what ya need
I can give it to ya
Begging empathy
Give me some fulfillment
We're running back
We're running back
To a place we're been before
That makes you comfortable
In your head
We're running out
And over again
I let it out
And I let it all go
The moving's slow
But not something to blow
But we're running out
But we're running out
But we're running out
But we're running out
But we're running out
But we're running out
But we're running out
We're running out
So tell me what ya need
And I can give it to ya
But we're running out
We're running out

Hopeful Nostalgia

Hopelessly chasing hopeful nostalgia
Seeking the comfort that it offers
But at what point is it detrimental
To chase the things we used to be?
In the winter time you were by my side
Chasing 'round the bands that we both had liked
Counting down the days 'til the sun would rise
(The sun will rise, sun will rise, sun will rise)
In the winter time you were on my mind
Replacing the demands of my former life
Still counting down the days 'til the sun would rise
(The sun will rise, sun will rise, sun will rise)
Laying everything on the line in a strip mall lot
The world imploded 'fore we could get some breakfast
Suburbia, ain't she beautiful?
It's too bad she's a scam
In the winter time you were by my side
Chasing 'round the bands that we both had liked
Counting down the days 'til the sun would rise
(The sun will rise, sun will rise, sun will rise)
In the winter time you were on my mind
Replacing the demands of my former life
Still counting down the days 'til the sun would rise
(The sun will rise)
Hopelessly chasing hopeful nostalgia
But now my friends are smoking cigarettes on the back porch
Things aren't the way they used to be

Nothing Left to Hide
03:57

You've been talking, you've been talking, you've been talking in your sleep
But is it wrong to ask you questions
When your filter's set to temporary leave?
Been on the wrong side
Of a worried mind
On this bed we lie
World's apart inside
And when the answer comes
I'm only gonna meet it with a hint of surprise
Don't want all we have to be just memories
Walking hand in hand down crowded city streets
Talkin' 'bout the future that we could foresee
It seems foolish now
Wouldn't you agree?
Bet you didn't think I'd notice
Being shy I realize why
Taking on an alibi, you can't lie
When there's nothing left to hide
I can't leave, I'm just like you
Too stubborn to want to move
But let's try?
There's nothing left to hide
I've been walking, I've been walking, I've been walking late at night
To clear my head
Although it never happens 'til I make it back inside
The voices never quiet
What's the point in trying?
Comfortable in riot
I'm not used to silent
No effective treatment but I'm only used to being self-prescribed
Don't want all we have to be just memories
Taking care of me while I was vomiting
Singing songs of life and what it means to live
No matter what you say
I want you here with me
I only want you to know this
Being shy I realize why
Taking on an alibi, you can't lie
When there's nothing left to hide
I can't leave, I'm just like you
Too stubborn to want to move
But let's try?
There's nothing left to hide
