Displaced

The bedroom walls are closing in
each time I picture how life
could have been back then.
But now I want a brand new start
hopelessly clamoring to
feed that dying flame, move away
and take the opportunity to
stop this slow decay
I saw shade in their colors
(Stifling me)
Overwhelmed and outnumbered
(Take me away)
From the weight and the pressure
(Weight and the pressure)
It keeps pulling me under
And one by one I told them all
The plans I made last night with-
Out a second thought.
But in return, they retaliate
With uninvited lessons,
Hoping to persuade me to stay
I'll take the opportunity to
Stop this slow decay
I saw shade in their colors
(Stifling me)
Overwhelmed and outnumbered
(Take me away)
From the weight and the pressure
(Weight and the pressure)
It keeps pulling me under
All these naysayers
Who I thought were my friends
Telling me I'll burn out in half a year
Save your breath for when
You retire
’Cause at least I'm alive
While you might as well be dead
I saw shade in their colors
(Stifling me)
Overwhelmed and outnumbered
(Take me away)
From the weight and the pressure
(Weight and the pressure)
It keeps pulling me under

Self-Centered

10 years ago, we had a dream
Why did it end so abruptly?
Our never-ending conversations
Stranded in the cold meant nothing
Truth is, I always thought
We'd be there till the end together
Naive delusions and
A personality self-centered
You make me sick all the time
With that look in your eye
Unaware of all your ignorance, you
Lack the nerve to say you're sorry
Saying these lines
Without questioning why or what the
Consequences would be
So just cut the ties and leave me buried
In present-day, tension is stretched
To the point of no return
Arguments tearing at the seams
You never listen, never learn
You make me sick all the time
With that look in your eye
Unaware of all your ignorance, you
Lack the nerve to say you're sorry
Saying these lines
Without questioning why or what the
Consequences would be
So just cut the ties and leave me buried
Underneath the weight I carried
Leave me buried
Underneath
Outside
Standing in the California air
I’m free
You and I were never meant to be
Open up your mind and you will see
You make me sick all the time
With that look in your eye
Unaware of all your ignorance, you
Lack the nerve to say you're sorry
Saying these lines
Without questioning why or what the
Consequences would be
So just cut the ties and leave me buried
Underneath the weight I carried
Leave me buried
Underneath

Take Care
03:30

I swear
On the presence of these feelings
I apologize for leaving
The best I never had
Take care
That you live the life you're leading
While I'm forever healing
And wishing I was back
Falling from the sky just like a bird without its wings
I try to grasp at anything for one more chance to sing
A song about a person unlike any of that I found
I mustered up the strength to sing a note before I hit the
Ground
Memories flashing back all at once
Getting caught in between the nights under palmetto trees
And bedroom eyes locking into place
But now the tears won’t dry when I think of what could’ve been my life
I swear
On the presence of these feelings
I apologize for leaving
The best I never had
Take care
That you live the life you're leading
While I'm forever healing
And wishing I was
Back
Distracting myself isn’t as easy
As I thought it’d be, I’m pulled in by the gravity
Of your design, calling out to tell you
For the second time, but we both know how this will end tonight
I swear
On the presence of these feelings
I apologize for leaving
The best I never had
Take care
That you live the life you're leading
While I'm forever healing
And wishing I was
Back to when we met each other
(So I can avoid this blunder)
Choosing now to move away
(Regretting every single day)
Having to accept this life
(Cutting like a thousand knives)
Living with the realization
(I fucked up the situation)
That we could’ve spent each night
(Sleeping by each other’s side)
So entwined by wrapping arms
(Feel the beating of our hearts)
As we’d be safe and secure
(With no worries in the world)
Nothing but a fading dream
(Now that you are far from me)
I swear
On the presence of these feelings
I apologize for leaving
The best I never...

Coastlines

Let me drive
On the coastline of a west coast summer
Leave me where I belong
They say the grass is greener on the other side
That's where I want to be
Giving up comfort and security is worth a try
If this is destiny
All that I need to do is have the guts to leave
Let me drive
On the coastline of a West Coast summer
Leave me where I belong
Chasing signs
And the dashed lines and the mile markers
Leave me where I belong
Reminiscing on winding roads of the old times
From birth to 23
I finished packing but I still have space inside my mind
For future memories
Another chapter will unfold in front of me
Let me drive
On the coastline of a West Coast summer
Leave me where I belong
Chasing signs
And the dashed lines and the mile markers
Leave me where I belong
I took a risk and made a choice
I hope it wasn't wrong
Even if I fail I know
I am not afraid to move on
I'm moving on
(I'm moving on)
Not giving up till I'm satisfied
Of all that I've been through
(I'm moving on)
Not giving up till I live my life
The way that I want to
Let me drive
On the coastline of a West Coast summer
Leave me where I belong
Chasing signs
And the dashed lines and the mile markers
Leave me where I belong
Leave me where I belong
Leave me where I belong
