been holding this inside try to keep my head high breaking down behind the door when I can’t hide it anymore invisible as air hoping you still care it doesn’t matter where I go I only cry when I’m alone I only cry when I’m alone feeling out of place planning my escape it ain’t the truth that sets you free a perfect smile is all you need so filter every frame what is there to gain it doesn’t matter where I go I only cry when I’m alone I’m owning all my insecurities call em out by name and watch the demons bleed they’re tryna hold me to the in between but oh no I only cry when I’m alone

Upside Down 03:33
Upside Down Sun hanging loud in a ruthless sky Still peaking through when I close my eyes But I remember the darkness When light refused to shine 24 hours and we’re back around Same old story, turn it upside down Leave behind your could’ve beens and we’ll get going somewhere else Wheels sinking in, captured by the mud Soaked to the bone, fighting back the flood But I remember the desert Where rain refused to fall 24 hours and we’re back around Same old story, turn it upside down Leave behind your could’ve beens and we’ll get going somewhere else

Anymore 03:55
Everything is spent Always more give than take Staring down a stacked deck Paint a smile on my face I didn’t choose your game And I’m not gonna play anymore Cradle your luxuries Will it ever be enough? Try to find the meaning Lingering above I didn’t choose your game And I’m not gonna play anymore Anymore, your promises Land on hollow ears Rules hard as stone Anymore, I’ll make my own Call it skill or call it luck I think I’ve had enough Rules as hard as stone Anymore I’ll make my own Blinded by the unseen Am I losing my mind? watch an elusive dream Disappearing on the horizon I didn’t choose your game And I’m not gonna play anymore

Got a tenderhearted lover who does me good a little rough around the edges, but don’t let that fool ya Pours me coffee when the sun comes up Ooo baby gonna fill my cup Got a tenderhearted lover who feeds my soul Knows how to make me smile when I just don’t wanna Dries my tears in the middle of the night When we’re close everything is alright Tenderhearted lover dreaming fast and wild I’ve heard those old stories, you were a curious child Grown up to play guitar in a rock and roll band Turned your back on the backup plan It’s never gonna be perfect But I’m still gonna try The closest I’ll ever get Is you by my side All I’m asking is Please, come on this ride Tenderhearted lover why you looking sad? It’s been a rollercoaster year, but it’s the best we’ve had Even though we couldn’t spring for that econoline van We’ll roll on hand in hand

Did you feel the lonely winter sway? Summer turned & walked away An open letter from the past Nothing lasts, and that’s ok You were growing wings When I heard you sing What a strange world we live in What would you change if you could? Try not to hold on too tightly Cause the strain ain’t gonna do you no good Floating to the top for a better view All this progress, but nothing new Landscape shifting overhead But how could I forget? You were growing wings When I heard you sing What a strange world we live in What would you change if you could? Try not to hold on too tightly Cause the strain ain’t gonna do you no good

Canyon deep and rushing wide Show me what you hold inside Does it echo? Steady as the current pulls Chart my course on the overflow Wanna believe in a better way Watch the fire turn to rain Someday the dam will break And wash it all, wash it all Pick it up and try again But my heart is caving Does it echo? Inching closer, rocky edge Blackbirds circle overhead Are they restless? Wanna believe in a better way Watch the fire turn to rain Someday the dam will break And wash it all, wash it all

Good News 03:34
You were talking about towers I was talking about love Told me ‘fight the power’ I already was Wasn’t it enough to feed your ego Without feeding my despair? Headlines read like fantasy How did we get here? Why can’t it be good news? I need some good news Choose yourself a ruler That only measures what it wants An inch becomes a mile And soon north and south are lost Why can’t it be good news? I need some good news Time’s a losing battle Why waste it on a war? All these imaginary borders Who are we fighting for?

Evergreen 02:56
Evergreen, shelter me I’m shaking on the inside I’m shaking on the inside Steady arms, through pounding storms always bending, never breaking I could use some of your patience never known a heart so strong beating where you belong still holding on when letting go is easy burning sun, move along the path is growing wider following the fire Scent of rain, wash away There’s nothing where there once was There’s nothing where there once was Never known a heart so strong Still holding on When the chaos is taking over You said letting go is easy Carry on Unfolding slowly Rise from the floor Trying to understand Never known a heart so strong still holding on Never known a heart so strong Beating where you belong Still holding on when letting go is easy

do you get the feeling that everything is broken and every word that’s spoken is lying through its teeth? there’s no need for understanding when the plane’s crash landing and we’re taking friendly fire while drowning in the sea all good things must end time won’t be your friend if this is great again then where did we begin? no time like the present to kill for my attention so if that ain’t presidential then i don’t know what is fired the old accountant now we’re showing record profits while every book is burning a hole straight through our pockets all good things must end time will tell, my friend cause if this is great again then where did we begin? me, I go to bed and my dreams just keep on rolling when i wake i’m falling and landing on my feet so let’s start a revolution let’s reach a new conclusion make anything with beauty yeah, let’s sell it all sell it all for free
