My Own Devices

I’m afraid, I’m becoming estranged from sunlight
Barricade, locked in this focus all night
Now I know, that left to my own devices everyday’s the same
Blunt the range, god it’s so boring, it’s such a boring refrain
But I know my fears, I’ll own my fears
I know my fears, I’ll own my fears
Check the buzz, and now the dopamine’s right
‘Cause I’m Pavlov’s dog, with all of the bark and none of the bite
Now I’m sure that, left to my own devices, my will will always lose
The minutes and hours and days become one and the same despite everything I try to do
But I know my fears, I’ll own my fears
(you will always need me, you will never leave me, you will never leave me)
I know my fears, I’ll own my fears
(you will always need me, you will never leave me, you will never leave me)

Close to August, summer’s almost gone
I’m not flawless, death of what you thought
You don’t wanna feed the fire anymore
So breach the floodgates, soak me to the core
Baby come back, baby come back, baby come back
Cut me some slack, I feel so bad, baby come back
And it might make sense to me, eventually…
Deep in August, waiting for the cold
I’m done with progress, lost in Baltimore
The day will come, I’ll feel alive, so I’m told
But if I’m honest, but if I’m honest, I just wanna fold
Baby come back, baby come back, baby come back
Cut me some slack, I feel so bad, baby come back
And it might make sense to me, eventually…
I tried my hardest, can’t make it ok
Flat on my back and I feel so ashamed, no
We talk anyway
And still won’t hang up when there’s nothing to say
Holding my breath and you’re so far away
I can’t relax so
Baby come back, baby come back
Cut me some slack, I feel so bad, baby come back

Over Again (feat. Baird)
03:20

When you called my name
I was feeling the worst
Stumbled, falling to the floor
Over again
Happens every time
I try to let you go
I’ll soon be crawling back to you
Over again
Now I see you on my phone
You look good and I feel lonely
I could never stay away
from your colors
Broken from the afterglow
What we said was so unholy
Really need you here right now
Under covers, overthrown
I caught the Megabus
You ran to wave goodbye
I swear you felt the same as me
what’s happened since then?
I guess it’s every time
I try to let you go
Forget the things I said I’d do I’ll
Soon be crawling back to you
Over again
Now I see you on my phone
You look good and I feel lonely
I could never stay away
from your colors
Broken from the afterglow
What we said was so unholy
Really need you here right now
Under covers, overthrown

Flat Earth Surfing Pt. 1

It’s amazing what the daylight does to break the spell
We can say its fine its fine but know we’ll never work out
Nothing personal
You were bitter, I was bitter when we pressed our mouths
So I made a quick excuse and hoped to miss the fallout
I wouldn’t risk a fall or give it away
Flatness is freedom
Why don’t I believe it?
I know I all the reasons
But I don’t understand anymore
Now it’s time to spend another day along the ground
And I’m swiping on the smoothest surface, sliding due south
It’s a mellow life
In the back of mind I’ll wonder what we could’ve felt
But I bridle at discomfort, so I’ll let you just melt
You’re dissolving, drifting away
Flatness is freedom
Why don’t I believe it?
I know I all the reasons
But I don’t understand anymore
No, I don’t understand anymore

Set in Motion

All the days look the same in LA
How long has it really been? Too bored to venture out from my home
I complain, I complain anyway
Can’t find a place to grip, it’s flatness as I slip on my phone
As long as I’m set in motion, long as I’m set in motion, I’m alright
Long as I’m set in motion, long as I’m set in motion, I’m alright
Tell me words I don’t believe
Won’t appraise it mentally
And we pretend it’s all in fun,
Doesn’t matter to me
Tell me lies so I can feel better now
We can try to make it real
Play it again, you almost won
You’ll find a something to be
Put the dollars, on the table, I won’t fight so I’ll enable,
Wish I coulda stopped it, wish that I never dropped it,
No one’s gonna like that, prolly shouldn’t write that
Any time it feels a little better now
I read about another pain and mellow down
Everything is posters, pinch me when it’s over
Look at my existence, hope it’s not passing me by
Long as I’m set in motion, I’m alright
As long as I’m set in motion, long as I’m set in motion, I’m alright
Long as I’m set in motion, long as I’m set in motion, I’m alright
Long as I’m set in motion, long as I’m set in motion, I’m alright

Patience
03:11

I fell quick from the first high
An ego’s never satisfied
It’s inflation of the worst kind
I need some brotherly advice
Hey don’t be careless, you run on empty
There’s still a wait that’s in front of you
Trust and have patience, and take the time to find another view, closer to the truth
And it’s a crash or a missed flight
But I won’t open up my eyes
Will it prove that my hustle is bonafide
If I pay another price? Keep on telling me:
Hey don’t be careless, you run on empty
There’s still a wait that’s in front of you
Try to find patience, and take the time to find another view, closer to the truth
Hey don’t be careless, you run on empty
Nothing is worth what it does to you
Trust and have patience, and take the time to find another view, let the moment come to you

Rip

Meet you on the front porch you’re ready to go
I’m stretching out the truth ’til I’m being dishonest
Kept it on the low that was taking its toll
So now I gotta break off as quick as I promised
And I didn’t want to hurt you so I never said anything relevant
I had to be everything, oh
I didn’t want to burn you, I was trying to be elegant
But I fucked up
So I won’t tell you why, tell you why, tell you why
No, not this morning
I won’t tell you why, tell you why, ooh
Swimming for a way to get out of my head
Caught out by a rip and I swore I was drowning
Huddled on the beach I just couldn’t pretend
The answers that you needed weren’t the things I was doubting
The answers that I gave you were the things I was doubting
And I didn’t want to hurt you so I never said anything relevant
I had to be everything, all the time
And even though I burned you I’m still trying to be elegant, and never malevolent
But I fucked up
So I won’t tell you why, tell you why, tell you why
No, not this morning
I won’t tell you why, tell you why, ooh

The surf has flattened up
So take the charger out of my reach
And fuck the president just look at what he’s doing to me
What if our civil actions and these good intentions just keep on feeding the leech?
But that’s irrelevant, I’m sinking deeper into the sea

Don’t call my name, you know that you tempt me
I shouldn’t be part of your plan, not anymore
I can tell that soon you’ll start to resent me
It’s pointless to try to ignore
Never really talked too much
And at least you seemed happy
If you ever need that buzz, I’ll take you there
But if you want a steady love
Baby you should look past me;
I’m wasting your time, wasting your time out there
You’re too deep and I’m feeling empty
We don’t have to bridge this divide if it’s too much
And it’s not that I was innocent, not that I ain’t into this, just thought we were comfortable,
But if we can’t resolve the difference inside
Let’s make up for the time when our minds were missing
20/20-vision said our days were running out, ooh,
(I know you too well to think it’s over til hell is frozen over)
And pretending it’s fine is the worse transgression
Might as well get started with the thoughts that weren’t allowed, I’m not too proud, I’m not too proud to say we tried
(I know you could call an open season and I’d forget the reason)
Never really talked too much
And at least you seemed happy
If you ever need that buzz, I’ll take you there
But if you want a steady love
Baby you should look past me;
I’m wasting your time, oh I’m wasting your time out there
Never really wanted much
And at least you seemed happy
If you ever need that buzz, I’ll take you there
But if you want a steady love
Baby you should look past me;
I’m wasting your time, oh I’m wasting your time out there
I’m sorry for the bullshit that I didn’t believe
I know you’ll find another lover better than me

It's My Mess
03:36

You waited, you waited and you’re so fed up
And you can’t remember what I ever did to deserve you
I’m so tired, can barely keep my head up
I’ll pretend I don’t remember in the morning
In the morning I’ll say
If ever I ghosted you, I’m sorry and it’s my mess
I know I misled you, I should’ve withheld
I’ve never not wanted you, I’m just getting some time to myself
And I’m wasted, but I don’t need your help
I wanted it all, but shut down from the small pressures
And I can’t imagine what I ever did to deserve you
Wish I never saw the consequences get bigger (consequences got much bigger)
I’ll pretend I haven’t noticed in the morning
in the morning I’ll say
If ever I ghosted you, I’m sorry and it’s my mess
I know I misled you, I should’ve withheld
(Shoulda shoulda shoulda, I’m sorry that I hurt you so bad)
I’ve never not wanted you, I’m just getting some time to myself
And I’m wasted, I’m wasted, I’m wasted
But I don’t need your-

If I weren’t your lover I would still be sticking by your side
You make a difference in my life
Stay in, watch a foreign film, I know you’re such a cinephile
It’s better when you come around
One foot, then the other, you can take the steps that you know how
It’s alright if you’re not alright
Ah, ah
If I weren’t your lover I would still be sticking by your side
You make a difference in my life
Take a second, take a minute, take a breath it’s tough to ride
But it’s only for a little while, it’s only for a little while
Ah, ah, ah
