lyrics
Living in a dream’s got me Thinking that I oughta be worried about What all the lonely people say and what they think about me now Fuck your fantasy. I’m living just to fall asleep And I pray that all my souls are free When my heart doesn’t belong on my sleeve and I pick up what’s in front of me - a pair of shoes that I’ve gotta be filling up to capacity otherwise I’m nothing but a wannabe you could be the next big thing isn’t that what you wanted? Living in a dream’s got me Thinking that I oughta be worried about What all the lonely people say and what they think about me now And when you think it's over, you'll find it's only just begun there’s a monster in my bedroom he haunts me when I close my eyes and when I open them he puts on a disguise and he hides in the mirror on the wall won’t you tell me if at all there’s a time in my future where I’m gonna hit a wall cause I’m moving so fast and it’s scaring me to death and I want it all to slow down just so I can take a breath and he said You could be the next big thing isn’t that what you wanted? Living in a dream’s got me Thinking that I oughta be worried about What all the lonely people say and what they think about me now Living on a screen’s stopped me feeling like i’m in control and I got a hold on everything cause everything is wrapped around me now You could be the next big thing Puppet master holding strings People always listening Living in a dream’s got me Thinking that I oughta be worried about What all the lonely people say and what they think about me now Living on a screen’s stopped me feeling like i’m in control and I got a hold on everything cause everything is wrapped around me now And when you think it's over, you'll find it's only just begun

You sleep, I sleep Then we wake up Go to work and Dream of something better. Then we Doubt ourselves and Go back to sleep Rinse and repeat The process of what We think living’s Meant to look like , it’s so dreary Like the rain that sometimes sits upon our window sill, we’re not supposed to stay here we’re just passing through, me and you If we believed, we believed in ourselves then we’d be somewhere else, on the beach in the bahamas If we danced like no one watched then we’d be right where we’re supposed to have been all along Living in our own skin I buy clothes and Ask what they think ‘Not sure if that’s Quite in fashion’ I’m worth nothing If I don’t try to Fit in with the people in movies, so follow me and I’ll be happy cause I’ll know that you’ll see me through your tv screen Like the rain that sometimes sits upon our window sill, we’re not supposed to stay here we’re just passing through, me and you If we behave in ways that make us feel like nothing then we’re doomed to grow older inside our cocoon, me and you If we believed, we believed in ourselves then we’d be somewhere else, on the beach in the bahamas If we danced like no one watched then we’d be right where we’re supposed to have been all along Living in our own skin If I believed, I believed in myself then I’d be doing well, imagination wouldn’t hurt me but it’s harder than it looks to keep a smile when all the demons have been there a while living under my skin

Leaving You Behind 03:30
lyrics
Hello, how are you? I’m not feeling okay cause you’re the only voice I can listen to. I hope that you leave me soon cause you make my breath hard to swallow and the pill seems to follow suit Oh, I can feel you staring at the mirror Looking at me, and I wish I couldn’t hear you I think I can’t see cause nothings getting clearer And i’m living in fear I’m sorry, I’m sorry but I never wanna feel this way I’ll go and set fire to the things you say and watch them burn in a pile of shit that you gave me I wont be pain free, but i’ll find me by leaving you behind You wanna stay, wanna act tough tried to stop me from the things that I wanted told me that I wasn’t good enough You say I’ll never be the same Well today I’m gonna re-arrange cause I write the letters on the page and I’m tired of living this way la la la la la laaaa I can feel you staring at the mirror Looking at me, and I wish I couldn’t hear you I think I can’t see cause nothings getting clearer I’m done with living in fear I’m sorry, I’m sorry but I never wanna feel this way I’ll go and set fire to the things you say and watch them burn in a pile of shit that you gave me I wont be pain free, but i’ll find me by leaving you behind (fuck the shit that you say to me) I'm sorry but I never wanna feel this way (fuck the shit that you say to me) I'll watch it all burn in a pile of shit that you gave to me (I'm done with it now I'm gonna be free) I'm gonna find me, by leaving you behind

Live In Pretend with Lido 03:28
lyrics
What are we but a small group of particles living till we turn to dust? Are we free cause our home is a factory, handing out hearts to the loved? Oh I think that I’ll speak to my friends If it’s just to be entertained till the bitter end And I wish that I loved myself like I did them but I don’t, cause I live in pretend I can’t sleep cause my heads in a mess and I need a little time to adjust to the cricks and the cracks in this world, we’re supposed to think we’re not enough. If I could I would speak to my mother cause she’d tell me to look and to love one another I wish that I loved myself like I did them but I don’t, cause I live in pretend. (LIDO) Zoom zoom I’ve been looking for xenon, have you seen her? We made mess that we should really clean up for the rerun, she been the type of blessing I would dream of. Wake up exhausted, told her I need her said I don’t sound like a Peder. But I put this dress on my damsel, I’m playing chess with my landlord, I never guessed I should dance more (see you at the end) I never guessed I should dance more I should have wrecked my volcanoes and stayed home, stayed home All I wanted was to see more, the story’s really bout the detours In this world on a hill there’s a man (there's a man) And he tells them all what to do with their only hands and I wish that I loved myself like I did them but I don’t cause I live for the end

I'll Be There For You 03:31

When you think you’re underwater and you feel the Bricks & Mortar caving in When the dust begins to fill your lungs and tally marks appear upon your skin Oh brother I can tell that you’re scared I know it isn’t fair, I know it isn’t fair Tell me if you’re needing me to be there for you And I’ll tell you we’ll work together and we’ll make it through When you look up and all you can see are demons in the angel skies And you can’t smile cause you carry too much weight inside the bags under your eyes Oh brother I can tell that you’re scared I know it isn’t fair, I know it isn’t fair But know that I am ready to share The weight on your shoulders if you’ll just hold on Tell me if you’re needing me to be there for you And I’ll tell you we’ll work together and we’ll make it through Brother brother when I ask if you are feeling well and you say yes and then you look the other way you know it kills me when you go and lie about your mental health just like you’re doing every other day It’s okay, not to be okay It’s okay, not to be okay Tell me if you’re needing me to be there for you And I’ll tell you we’ll work together and we’ll make it through

The Light 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Suddenly it’s dark In your world that’s full of parts Of a rainbow shattered into bits of glass I hear you say hello From a face that doesn’t smile Or at least it hasn’t for a while, Since you begun to grow Before then it was so effortless You couldn’t feel the shadows of the trophies that you’re chasing, Not weighed down by people and their heavy expectations I can’t wait for when you see the light that shines, and When you realise it’s been coming from your chest the whole time You’re crying for advice with a closed mouth scream that no one hears and a cheek stained with invisible tears But you’re not to blame you were born in a field of flowers where the tall ones were taken out and told to shrink themselves down Oh I believe you’ll show them all that it’s okay to grow when all the signs are saying not to that it’s alright to leave what others have and say you’ve got to I can’t wait for when you see the light that shines, and When you realise it’s been coming from your chest the whole time And when you think it’s over, you’ll find it’s only just begun So don’t look over your shoulder, face the front and start to run And when the demons bring their bloody weapons to the fight Just focus on the light
