Burning Bridges
03:46

It just don't feel right
Not having you by my side
The thought of you would run me out of town
I've been gone a few days
Tryna' get away from your memory
I like to wander the streets
And make believe what I cannot see
I'm lost at home, forgot where to go
I'm walking in my sleep
Ghost in my head, stumble into bed
I want this all to leave
It just don't feel right
Not having you by my side
The thought of you would run me out of town
And even after all these beers
It's still so fucking clear
Baby you're the bridge that won't burn down
You're just a thought, made up or not
Think I'm going insane
Lock my mind, doing jail time
Stop policing my brain
Walk an open road, who cares where I go
I'm up all night
Foreigner, life became a blur
I cannot win this fight
It just don't feel right
Not having you by my side
The thought of you would run me out of town
And even after all these beers
It's still so fucking clear
Baby you're the bridge that won't burn down
It just don't feel right
Not having you by my side
The thought of you would run me out of town
And even after all these beers
It's still so fucking clear
Baby you're the bridge that won't burn down

Pains Me To Say
04:08
|
|||
She moves with the sight of the light
She moves but I didn't want no more
I didn't want no more
Mouth wide nothing left to say
Tongue tied cause she didn't have her way
She didn't have her way
Okay
You got me wishing this was a dream
I'm wide awake but I couldn't see
How you want me to be
And I know that this isn't hard
But my love's tearing us apart
And it pains me to say
That this love won't go away
Yeah
This love won't go away
This love won't go away
Fabricated corrosive lies
She stared couldn't look her in the eyes
Couldn't look her in the eyes
I go don't know how to flow anymore
You're a whore
But I want more
But I want more
Okay
You got me wishing this was a dream
I'm wide awake but I couldn't see
How you want me to be
And I know that this isn't hard
But my love's tearing us apart
And it pains me to say
That this love won't go away
Yeah
That this love won't go away
Yeah
The shit that I'm spitting ain't crazy
Wanna be going to bed with my lady
Wanna be telling her how much I love her
Safe with her dream catcher above her
Another night another fight
But you know that you'll always be right
But hop in bed with you
Together at the end of night
That's when we take flight
Or stumble up a set of stairs
That's when I am satisfied
With my face full of your hair
I don't care I just wanna hold you close
Cheeks blushing redder than the western coastline
I wanna get inside your feline
I'll make a beeline
Get inside than rewind you outshine
When I give you kisses on your neckline
Could love you more but restricted to the confines
You deny every single time
That I ask you it's time to align
All the feelings that come and pass you
Cause I'd ask you
Do you love me
Like David Duchovny

Category attributes
Slip of tongue just changed the mood
Peaking when you're peaking too
The syncopated waves wore on
Pessimistic thoughts are gone
Waiting but I can't wait too long
And I should've known
Whoah oh oh oh oh
The sad look on her face was all a lie
Thinking about the past
Takes me there when I don't wanna go back
I wanna get on track
Elevate with concious will
And fill your mind with heightened skill
Just don't stand still
Feeling fingers on my face
My heart it beat beat beats away
I wish it was here to stay
And I should've known
Whoah oh oh oh oh
The sad look on her face was all a lie
Thinking about the past
Takes me there when I don't wanna go back
I wanna get on track
And I should've known
Whoah oh oh oh oh
The sad look on her face was all a lie
Thinking about the past
Takes me there when I don't wanna go back
I wanna get on track
And I should've known
Whoah oh oh oh oh
The sad look on her face was all a lie
Thinking about the past
Takes me there when I don't wanna go back
I wanna get on track

Off The Grid
04:06
|
|||
I really started to think you loved me
I wasn't expecting this you were my fantasy
I should've noticed the things you do
I feel so dumb for trusting you
Cause you're not happy
This ended horribly
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid
Cause I'm not happy
Girl what'd you do to me
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid
I really started think you cared
Could tell that she liked me just from the way that she stared
I should've noticed the things you do
I feel so dumb for loving you
Cause you're not happy
This ended horribly
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid
Cause I'm not happy
Girl what'd you do to me
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid
People die, they tolerate
But in the end these memories cremate
Just hold me and touch my body
Cause I don't wanna forget you
Cause you're not happy
This ended horribly
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid
Cause you're not happy
Girl what'd you do to me
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid
Cause I'm not happy
This ended horribly
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid
Cause I'm not happy
Girl what'd you do to me
You hate me and what I did
This time I'm off the grid

Drifting Away
04:35
|
|||
I'm scared for the truth
The suspense, it is killing me
In front of my face
Like God wanted me to see
I don't know what's left
But it's not my decision
You by my side
Yeah that's what I'd envision
Every day's unlike the last
So many things here to distract
I'm drifting away from reality
Steel cars and paper planes
You've only got yourself to blame
I'm drifting away from reality
I'm scared for the past
My memory's haunting me
Cause there's no control
I'm leaving this legacy
Messed up from the start
But I learned how to hide it
These uniform waves
They try to define this
Every day's unlike the last
So many things here to distract
I'm drifting away from reality
Steel cars and paper planes
You've only got yourself to blame
I'm drifting away from reality
Drift drift drifting away
Drift drift drifting away
Drift drift drifting away
Drift drift drifting away
Drift drift drifting away
Drift drift drifting away
Drift drift drifting away
From reality
Every day's unlike the last
So many things here to distract
I'm drifting away

Mango Ice Cream
03:38
|

Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey, Hey
I was lost, in this place
Lovestruck without a way to escape
I had you figured out, or so it seemed
You're sweet and cold like mango ice cream
You wake up just to fight off the day
You fought it but you want it now
Sleep causes a mind decay
But the darkness it is soulbound
I feel like you move like the waves
You always come crashing down
I had the words that would change the way
I didn't know how to say
Hey, Hey, Hey
This is all, you were to me
Just one endless happy tradgedy
Waking up with you, shows me the love is true
And it won't take one it'll take a few
Times for me to get this right
You wake up just to fight off the day
You fought it but you want it now
Sleep causes a mind decay
But the darkness it is soulbound
I feel like you move like the waves
You always come crashing down
I had the words that would change the way
I didn't know how to say
You wake up just to fight off the day
You fought it but you want it now
Sleep causes a mind decay
But the darkness it is soulbound
I feel like you move like the waves
You always come crashing down
I had the words that would change the way
I didn't know how to say
I didn't know how to say
Hey

It'll Be Okay
03:48
|

My hand in your hair feels great
But it hurts me more
'Cause you're so rich with love
And I'm so poor
Why did you have to make this
So damn hard
'Cause you know my hand in your hair feels great
But it hurts me more
I wish you knew what I can't say
Cause these lies are eating me away
Ever since we met you got me
Up all night
I took a walk in the rain to help
Clear my mind
I saw you the other day
At the grocery store
Yeah you know my hand in your hair feels great
But it hurts me more
I wish you knew what I can't say
Cause these lies are eating me away
I wish you knew what I can't say
Cause these lies are eating me away
And even though at the end of the day
She makes me feel like it'll be okay
She make feel like it'll be okay
She make feel like it'll be okay
She make feel like it'll be okay
Be okay, be okay
I wish you knew what I can't say
Cause these lies are eating me away
(I should go)
I wish you knew what I can't say
Cause these lies are eating me away
(But I want to stay)
And even though at the end of the day
She makes me feel like it'll be okay
(I should go but I want to stay)

Clairvoyant
03:29
|
|||
You brighten the room with
The break of your smile
And the darkness you keep inside
Is so versatille
I expect you to give in
Once in a while
But if you don't I'll
Keep pushing
If that's what you want from me
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
To fade away from feelings that I design
I don't feel tall, I'm trapped under the trees
Your negative visions control your clairvoyancy
You brighten the room with
The break of your smile
And the darkness you keep inside
Is so versatille
I expect you to give in
Once in a while
But if you don't I'll keep pushing
If that's what you want from me
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
To fade away from feelings that I design
I don't feel tall, I'm trapped under the trees
Your negative visions control your clairvoyancy
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
Keep waiting I need just a little more time
To fade away from feelings that I design
I don't feel tall, I'm trapped under the trees
Your negative visions control your clairvoyancy

Tear Another Page
04:09
|
|||
Got lyrics in my head
Can back it up with flow
Alliteration's how I said it
Embedded by more dope
My thoughts have meaning
But lack cause
Need to sit back, relax
Suck it up like straws
I don't often rep my individuality
Cause in reality
I've got multiple personalities
My words tease, say please
And they'll get perplexed
This ain't rap lyrics
It's religious text
All you need is a pen and piece of paper
Find your zen releasing vapours
Fight these men and misbehaviours
Yeah you'll have to sign these waivers
If you want to be involved
Well people of authority
Says the problem's solved
Now I'm not saying that it's a constant decent
But it's five and I'm thinking clearer
Than the one percent
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake
Yo I'm starting to see why he left her
Cause she's just starting to play the director
I want her gone, I need it now
She's gonna drive me insane again, somehow
Attention is all her's
I cant seem to find the words
My mind's ideas are turning
My eyes on fire they burn
I'm sorry but I'm not
Oh shit you're all I've got
Don't want her any more
Yo I can't stand her anymore
I'm too weak to stand up
To energized to stay still
My hearts at double time and
Oh fuck I lost my will
He's psychopathic on psychoactives
And girls don't seem to find him
Very attractive but
He's sitting so insane
Wishing for chaotic veins
To make it all okay
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake
I duck out, I spill my brains out
Still end up with a pile of shit
Doubt I could back out without
Looking like a hypocrite
Press forward, cornered, tortured
Fucking five in the morning
Ordering beats and transients
My mind is performing its boring
Melodies looping over and over
I told her that I'd come over
Once I got rid of my boner going slower
"Cause I've got a lot on my plate
All kosher just a composer
Making lots of mistakes no time to waste
Well maybe just a bit
Then suddenly it's midnight and I haven't done shit
Work ethic's so pathetic you would think I was Enron
But you're dead wrong
I'm Aidan Fine with a bigger dong before long
Song after song causing a mind decay
But I crumple it up and throw it all away
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake
Words and verbs, pronouns and rhymes
Flash forward 8 hours
I'm up chewing coffee grinds
Search every where for truth
Something that sounds new
Surprised you took the time
To pretend to sound genuine
I write stories and I write novels
Hit something real once in a while
In my head I'm spitting fire
Is that a joke, hell no
Throwing up bile Kardashian style
If I was a film I'd be a documentary
Conclude this sherlock nothings elementary
Dr. Jones on a mission cooking dinner in my kitchen
No trip my lips got nothing on free the nip
A fish to the sea I breath efficiency
A freedom writer for free speech
And a fighter for love and peace
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake
Tear another page, another page
Crumple it up and throw it all away, away
Gotta take a break, take a break
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Why am I still awake

Positive Ways
02:03
|
|||
I'm back to fade into the background
Never turn my back on the vacant sound
Gotta pounce on all possible opportunities
In the long run it'll be long gone
Come on boys time to pull up your long johns
Speak your mind it'll be your last words
Things never pan out
And I always try to say
That after today
Things will all change in
Positive ways
Really wanna go far but so far
I'm still on the rise but I guess in turn
I'm gonna make it as far as I'm concerned
And I'll hand it to you that my palm in your hand
Stay still like a palm tree stuck in the sand
Wanna go far but I don't hold
Those cards in my hand
And I always try to say
That after today
Things will all change
In positive ways
And I always try to say
That after today
Things will all change
In positive ways

Milkshakes & Small Talk
04:14
|
|||
I had a thought just the other day
Summer air and some milkshakes
Cooking up a recipe for disaster
Make up the scenece and scenarios
Fall asleep to the radio
She has a smile that's got me
Thinking backwards
Don't look now, she's captivating
Possess your mind, so intoxicationg
Lost in a world of anarchy
She looks so lovely
Dancing on her own
She doesn't even know
Hide my thoughts far out of sight
Stick to the plan, run it all night
Play the scene and not the actor
Think to my self on this long walk
Fool around with some small talk
Those eyes have got me
Thinking backwards
Don't look now, she's captivating
Possess your mind, so intoxicationg
Lost in a world of anarchy
She looks so lovely
Dancing on her own
She doesn't even know
She doesn't even know
She doesn't even know
She doesn't even know
Don't look now, she's captivating
Possess your mind, so intoxicationg
Lost in a world of anarchy
She looks so lovely
Dancing on her own
She doesn't even know

This one's for Fred
When I breathe, cause my eyes
I can barely see
All these demons inside of me
I just want Mom and Dad to be proud of me
Make money through music undoubtedly
But I don't see that when I look ahead
Cause I spend all my free time lying in bed
And no I'm not the guy to say I'd rather be dead
But I still bleed red getting pumped from my heart
And I still smoke darts when I'm bored
In between smoking green and finishing reports
Smoking weed in a blanket fort
Watching shit on Netflix, fixing up my setlist
That's about to be playing in a couple nights
Need to figure out how to get my head right
Need some red tights, or some Christmas lights
Anything just to get that mood right
So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see
That I've got talent and creativity to give
So take a chance on me
Yo, yo
Hit the flow like a big bomb
Hear the beat drop
Everyday I'm striving to reach the top
All I need is that one thing
That I did bring
Strapped to my neck strung with the six-strings
And I need this now I believe it
It's my musical pledge of allegiance
When the smoke hits, I plead it's
Leaving a taste so sour
These girls got me up for hours
Man this mystery I'm like Austin Powers
With my teen years lost in the powders
Falling so deep I'm becoming a coward
But It's time to turn this up louder
Sweaty clothes then hop in the shower
Sing like everybody else is dead
Or at least they are inside of my head
And I feel like this force is devine
It becomes just a it's just a matter of time
And I don't need to focus inside of my mind
Words they exist and I just need to find them
These people can't see what they need
They should look right behind them
I'm a transparent gem
With gold created by my brainstem
So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see
That I've got talent and creativity to give
So take a chance on me
So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see
That I've got talent and creativity to give
So take a chance on me
So take a chance on me
So take a chance on me
And maybe you'll see
Take a chance on me

Harambe (Bonus)
04:07

I wish this was a dream
But it's real
Yo
Coming home from school
Feeling kind of blue
Don't know what to do
Cause I'm living without you
Stay locked up in my room
Mama comes knocking
Waltzes right in
Oh shit I forgot to lock it
She's asking what I'm doing
She wouldn't understand
You just gotta do what you gotta do
To be a man
I'm like yo mom
Why you buzzin'
We share ninety nine percent
He's practically a cousin
She pretends to leave
So I pretend to watch the tube
Then I see a piece about the Cincinnati zoo
But then she's asking why the lotion's out
And why there's candles lit
Mom
I just want Harambe to see my
Dick's out, for Harambe
Dick's out, for Harambe
Whip it out
It don't mean that you're gay
Got a seven incher waiting for Harambe
Dick's out, for Harambe
Dick's out, for Harambe
Whip it out
It don't mean that you're gay
Got a five incher waiting for Harambe
Whip it out
I use my tears as lube
I just can't seem to get away from you
That's when some girl in the room
Stood up, turned around, and said dude
Who is Harambe?
Yo shit this is gonna be a long day
She's like why? Did someone die?
Yeah, only my favorite guy
Banana in his hand pulling kids through the sand
He got shot, I'm like god damn
Mr zookeeper I don't understand
I thought you were the man, man
You're like blam blam I'm like what what
You shot him short range like putt putt
Quarterback, hut hut, Silverback, nut nut
He died for our sins
He died for me and you
So whip that dick out
It's the least you can do
Then he's asking why his dick is out
And why there's candles lit
Bro, I just want Harambe to see our
Dick's out, for Harambe
Dick's out, for Harambe
Whip it out
It don't mean that you're gay
Got a nine incher waiting for Harambe
Dick's out, for Harambe
Dick's out, for Harambe
Whip it out
It don't mean that you're gay
Got a three incher waiting for Harambe
For Harambe
He's waiting for you
Waiting for Harambe
Whip it out, whip whip gotta whip it out
You gotta whip it out, oh yeah
Whip it out now
Harambe
Harambe
Whip it out for Harambe
