Keep the Lights On 03:56
lyrics
buy track
I won’t stop until we’re the best band that ever lived And if I die before then Would I have tried for nothin’? I hate that I’d expire with my to do list Cuz I’d feel stupid And just make more excuses When anyone takes a beating You better believe the best is yet to come It only hurts when you’re breathing So give it a go, take the beating and drum Let me go, cuz I’m still dreaming Where bright ideas keep the light on (soon we’ll) let you know It’s worth believing Despite degrees we rely on To walk while sleeping If I look back and it’s still the best thing I ever did Would you say I wasted All that I replaced with Attention seeking, praise, and validation Or reputation Guilty by association I only wanted to make peace With all of my dreams Believe the night is young Descend a rope made from bedsheets I’m ready to go, take the pieces and run

Pushing Papers 03:34
lyrics

I’m pushing papers by the pound Post Sunday Ain’t nothin’ better than the bitter 9 to 5 All that we seek is the end of the week When heavy hearts are making light And lonely souls can socialize The walls we built begin to weather Whether we concede to storms We’re weakened more than needed Willing and defeated, we repeat it Cooler talk and coffee cream Cold work space “Hey, here’s my sweater cuz I never seem to mind” That’s when we find that the best things in life Are scratching backs and scraping by You show me yours, I’ll show you mine The walls we built begin to weather Whether we concede to storms We’re weakened more than needed Willing and defeated, we repeat it

Doom is Something in Your Head 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Unintended hysteria, mysteriously defined (all the kids are singing) C'est la vie in Bohemia, memorabilia for the blind It feels like dancing in stage lights but no one’s looking If I died up here, then at least I tried By all accounts We should be dead by now I’m selling out Like a toldja so to brag about I chose comfort over courage and I taste the dust in the room But doom is something that’s all in your head Taking bites of the time that flies Would you mind if I don’t survive (not that I’m complaining) But my cultural appetite’s Ove-satisfied. Thanks, I’m fine! I’m from the suburbs of stage fright, where no one listens A cul de sac of fear, is this thing on? By all accounts We should be dead by now I’m selling out Like a toldja so to brag about I chose comfort over courage and I taste the dust in the room But doom is something that’s all in your head

The Worst 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Hold close, I fear The worst is yet to come And hindsight’s contradiction It’s blinding Find me some strength To step into the dark And walk among the recently deceased and desperate Cuz memory’s just fiction A broken bone Healed to imperfection Consider reasons to concede to past mistakes The lies i sold myself to stay sane It happens whether we believe in choice or fate Woah, I only have myself to blame Cuz demons eat pretense and swallowed me So kiss me one last time and I Will join the hopeless woebegone Truth told, my dear The worst is just the sum Of parts I put in practice They’re binding You’ll soon be scathed By what I lack in heart And talk with those increasingly deceived by skeptics Memory’s just friction A spoken tone Wielded with precision Consider reasons to concede to past mistakes The lies I sold myself to stay sane It happens whether we believe in choice or fate Woah, I only have myself to blame Cuz demons eat pretense and swallowed me So kiss me one last time and I Will join the hopeless woebegone Remember seasons we believed the rules should break? The lengths to which we’d go to pass the blame Asking memory to explain the dreams it made And when you start to speak it turns to dust, we turn to dust Screams become a whisper Cotton stones And words could beg to differ

Are We The Stars? 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Title card, exterior wide, coffee bar Cut to inside where it starts Could be the last time we’re ever lonely Maybe cliche a mix-up within the cafe Meet cute that lasted for days Could be the last time we’re ever lonely Are you busy tonight? It’s too early to say goodbye Leaving me cues, I wonder Is this a movie? Are we the stars? Hoping for ten years longer Memories of credits and coffee bars Fade in, act two, interior dark, point-of-view Laughing and looking at you (Is it) too soon to tell you I’m yours completely Walk to the car, two-shot above from afar Voiceover thinking of hearts Too soon to tell you that yours completes me? Are you busy for life? It’s too early to say goodnight
