Rabbit Hole 02:24
Here I go down the rabbit hole again If there’s really this much evil The world is not my friend I want to protect you But I don’t know if I really can Here I go down the rabbit hole again I’m not really needed here anymore Everything feels difficult When I walk into the door I want to belong here But I don’t know if I really can Here I go down the rabbit hole again Another sleepless night Just writhing in the bed A few innocent clicks With something that I never should have read Then the heartache and the dread Here I go down the rabbit hole, my friend You don’t want to hear it so you don’t pick up on your end I don’t wanna feel abandoned But I know I already am Here I go down the rabbit hole again

Homecoming 02:33
I can barely look at pictures From the final years In the first home that I owned Placing all my bets on moving Whether I’d feel any better Was still unknown It was supposed to be triumphant It was supposed to be so grand It wasn’t meant to be Such an anticlimax So hello to my future And goodbye to all my friends At least we have That row of mountains It's where they’ve always been It's where it's always been It's where it's always been It's where it's always been It's where it's always been Nothing ever is a cure all The grass ain’t greener on the other side I still have those memories And I hold them dear But when they hurt I push them aside It was supposed to be triumphant It was supposed to be grand It wasn’t meant to be Such an anticlimax So hello to my future And goodbye to all my friends At least we have That row of mountains It's where they’ve always been It's where it's always been It's where it's always been It's where it's always been It's where it's always been

They say that life is fragile Well I ain’t got one anymore Everything unravels And you end up where you were before I’m back in my hometown I spread my ashes around Just feeling like a ghost Already disappeared While I grin and bear Nothing should ever feel so tough I got one reason to go on And I hope that is enough I know my time’s been wasted I just can’t think of that anymore It was improper placement And my body it kept the score I’m back in my hometown And I burned everybody out And I sure don’t wanna beg Everything is not Some sinister plot But it often feels that way I got one reason to go on And I hope that’s enough to stay I gotta stay Stay Stay Stay For Mae

All your life you search for it But you’ll never find it Maybe on some long endless drive But heaven don’t arrive That’s the shackles of earth That’s the shackles at birth You drink every day to get by Waiting on paradise My grandfather said Growing old is hell And I know life is suffering And waiting on getting well But we still have some story here left to tell It’s a day at the beach It’s that crisp fall air It’s the way that I felt when I first met her It’s the smell of her hair It’s a simple chord structure A song that moves me to tears We dance around the room That’s as good as it gets here My grandfather said Growing old is hell And I know life is suffering And waiting on getting well But we still have some story here left to tell

Empty House 02:31
Today I felt nostalgic for The time that I was suffering most It was a morbid feeling I’ve had it a few times before You’ll never really know at all The town that you were born in It’s probably not important It’s on my mind again I really felt so feeble As I walked the empty house Tears they filled my eyes As I was checking To make sure We got everything else out It’s all just a dream by now A figment at arm’s length How did I last that long If it was something I really hated I’m taking long mental walks In buildings I once occupied I couldn’t forget them Even if I tried I didn’t leave on good terms At least not in my mind Feeling forced out of town In a hidden, bitter, Unfathomable fight I really felt so feeble As I walked the empty house Tears they filled my eyes As I was checking To make sure We got everything else out
6.
Blank Slate 02:49
I wanna be a blank slate Untouched and unpaved I wanna be like the me Before they addled my brain So pure and unscathed So pure and great I wanna have some heroes again I wanna reconnect with my friends I wanna be like the me Before I’ve been where I have been So pure and clean Much more serene This isn’t for eternity, So I’m eternally grateful Another six months pass by And I’m feeling more hopeful This isn’t for eternity, So I’m eternally grateful Another six months pass by And I’m feeling more faithful It’s supposed to be do no harm Now I’m living under constant alarm I wanna be at peace I will regain my sense of calm So there’s nothing wrong And there’s no more storm I’ll need a new place to begin Really thought I was at my end But when it flairs and I’m suffering again I’ll just tell myself this And I’ll reiterate it This isn’t for eternity, So I’m eternally grateful Another six months pass by And I’m feeling more hopeful This isn’t for eternity, So I’m eternally grateful Another six months pass by And I’m feeling more faithful
7.
Take It 02:15
You just gotta take it, you gotta fake it Then you’re gonna make it you’re gonna make it I know you’re feeling tired, you’re very tired Soon you’ll be much wiser, you’ll be much wiser I couldn't see the light I was blinded with fright Got reassured By the sick and the cured Now I try to give back Since I’m feeling better What feels eternal Will not be forever You just gotta take it, you gotta fake it Then you’re gonna make it, you’re gonna make it I know you’re feeling tired, you’re very tired Soon you’ll be much wiser, you’ll be much wiser Drowning in fear For over two years Thought I was stuck But they picked me back up Look for a guide To the other side Pay your dues And then you will rise You just gotta take it, you gotta fake it Then you’re gonna make it, you’re gonna make it I know you’re feeling tired, you’re very tired Soon you’ll be much wiser, you’ll be much wiser
8.
I've got some time today I'm gonna walk around the pond Think of how far I've come Thinking of struggles that I'm waiting on I don't want this summer to end And I don't want you to grow up Just more impossible stuff

Win You Back 02:48
Looking at pictures From way back when We were happier then There’s no reason we Can’t be happy again We had a few rough years We were dying slow It’s time to let em go Let’s give it another chance It’s time to regrow I gotta win you back No matter what I do I wanna be the man Who’s standing next to you You’ll still be impressed By something that I do And I’ll be impressed By something too And there’s your deep laugh It’s been a little bit Since we had heard it Let’s make that sound More consistent Moving back home Didn’t solve any problems But with more time passed Things are leveling out Coming up from the bottom I gotta win you back No matter what I do I wanna be the man Standing next to you You’ll still be impressed By something that I do And I’ll be impressed By something too
10.
All I eyes on you As you make your mark You’re feeling blue In the world at large You better Find what you love Find what you love But you never will If you play your part Role through life With half a heart You’ll never Find what you love Find what you love I’m a cancer I like four walls Surrounding me As I pace the halls of My empty house This empty house I need something to confine me Expecting everything to come easily when It never does Looking back on what was The past has passed It just went to fast I miss that town And I missed my chance to Find what I love Find what I love
11.
I think I’ll take the blue pill today Jump inside that mainstream matinee It could put my mind at ease? I will be fed and I will believe I’ll take a bunch of half truths Help me construct my worldview I’ll take what you say as normal Help me to shape my shakey morals Could I get a little 24/7 fear? 365 days a year Such great lengths to scare the masses Is it for control or is it for profit? I’ll take a bunch of half truths Help me construct my worldview I’ll take outlandish exaggerations Fact checked with no evidence or explanation Batten down the hatches, nobody wins But everybody’s gonna play Stuck inside this mainstream matinee Stuck inside this mainstream matinee
