You Are Not Alone

You are not alone here in the dark
Can't you see that everyone's here in the dark?
We don't need, need the light
To see you
I came to meet you outside
I crawled out here
You try to hide, but I see your fear
I feel it
What do you think? Do you think I know what I'm doing?
All I know to do is reach out to you
Receive it
You are not alone here in the dark
Can't you see that everyone's here in the dark?
We don't need, need the light
To see you
Nothing but chaos outside
Keeps you so low
You want to believe, but you just don't know
I'm trying to tell you I've been here before
You don't want to be a cliche anymore
And you try to act so tough, like that could ever be enough
You are not alone here in the dark
Can't you see that everyone's here in the dark?
We don't need, need the light
To see you

Let Your Brain Die
03:47
|
|||
Pulled in all directions
Mostly down
Working hard to get nowhere
Everyone I know
Swears they’re getting close
Trying to climb a ladder thats not there
It’s only hard when you care
So just don't care
It only hurts when you care
So just don't care
Just don't care
Spinning out til all my wheels are coming off
Grinding down to where it hurts
It’s always been this way
Since I heard you say,
“You’re only worth how hard you work.
You’re only worth how hard you work.”
So watch me work and work just like you told me to
Just tell me what to do
It’s only hard when you care
So just don't care
It only hurts when you care
So just don't care
It’s only hard when you care
So just don't care
It only hurts when you care
So just don't care
Just don't care
Let your brain die in a little place
It’s just a little bit, it’s just a little bit
Let your brain die in a little place
It’s just a little bit, it’s just a little bit

Split at the Seams
03:45
|
|||
Something in
Something in my blood
Too small to see
Something in
Alien, but still
Sewn into me
It’s me and it’s not
Split at the seams, it’s happening
Every time your voice comes out of me
But I can’t fight that, I have to
Own what I am
Inherited, this brain, it ticks
To it’s own beat
Can I hope to be
Anything more
Than the shape of me?
Throw it on the fire
Rewire
Stunted inside someone else’s house, I’ve
Gotta grow out and up out and up oooh
Stunted inside someone else’s house, I’ve
Gotta grow out and up out and up out and up
Split at the seams, it’s happening
Every time your voice comes out of me
But I can’t fight that, I have to
Own what I am
I can’t fight that, I have to
Own what I am
Out and up and out and up and out and up
Out and up and out and up and into me

King of Nothing
03:54
|
|||
I'm not afraid, just out of control
The end of the world snuck up on us
No right thing left to do
I surrender, turn my lights off
I'm already far from here
Was it worth it? You deserve this,
King of nothing, nothing left
You'll never stop. I'm tired, so tired
I feel like a deer caught in a wild fire
Just so small in the face of this force
I surrender, turn my lights off
I'm already far from here
Was it worth it? You deserve this,
King of nothing, nothing left
Because you drowned the part of you that lets you feel bad
Because you took it all and still you say that you've been had
The prize you won, it wasn't what you laid out in the plan
Paid for your private garbage island in a sea of trash
Sucking every single thing into your black hole
Until you can't even remember what you wake up for
At least I'll always know exactly what I wake up for
I surrender, turn my lights off
I'm already far from here
Was it worth it? You deserve this,
King of nothing, nothing left
You can only hurt my body
In my mind I'm far from here
There's one place left, you can't follow
In my mind I'm far away

Outnumbered
04:18
|

This is not a dream
No, it’s really happening
You’re old enough to see
See your grip is loosening
A shift in everything
All you’ve known reversing, reversing
Can you hear the old fear
Coming up through the ground?
Coming to knock of your crown
Finally outnumbered
Now you think there’s something in the air
It’s never been fair, but you
Never had a reason to care
Now you see the shape of all our path
Circling back
A warning
Now you know you're not a special boy
The power you had
Was never really yours to enjoy
It’s only fitting only fitting only fitting
You will learn
You will learn
Can you hear the old fear
Coming up through the ground?
Coming up to knock you down
Finally outnumbered
Finally outnumbered
Finally outnumbered, you’re
Finally outnumbered now
It’s okay, it’s your turn
It’s okay, it’s your turn
Can you hear the old fear
Coming up through the ground?
Coming to knock of your crown
Finally outnumbered, you’re
Finally outnumbered, you’re
Finally outnumbered now

Knuckle
03:51
|
|||
Remember the instant when you first saw right through
To the terror and carnage your little limbs could do
Unrestrained by a mind coiled tight
The knuckle of you
I know your omissions and every excuse
I've lived in the corners you sink yourself into
Don't you dare deny I can help unbind
The knuckle of you
It shouldn't be such torture, just to care
If you could just open your hand, we'd already be there
I can't say it'll all be fine
But are you on my side?
'Cause I'm on your side
Are you on my side?
'Cause I'm on your side

Nothing Behind My Eyes
04:09
|
|||
I got lost in circles
I forgot why I'm out here
Left alone for so long,
I know all that's not out here
Nowhere left to look
I'm so scared I'll find nothing on the inside
Nothing there behind my eyes
Nothing nothing nothing
I want to be of use, to share what I find
But there's no one left to change their mind
What will I do with such an empty horizon?
I was built to keep moving
Moving, never stop moving
Never let it drop
Keep it up and hold it up and
Never let it drop
I'm so scared I'll find nothing on the inside
Nothing there behind my eyes
Nothing nothing nothing

Are You on Fire
03:59
|
|||
How do you know you’re alright?
How do you feel? Is this fine?
Blinking in the light
How do you know?
How is it normal to
Be alive?
Do what you have to to hold it together
To keep your head up, barely above the water and
Scream
How do you know when to fight?
How do you feel what is right?
Can you trust your own heart?
Are you scared
Or are you just smart?
How do you know if you’re listening right?
How do you live in both the dark and the light?
See the patterns that really exist
Not just project your own version of sense
Your own version of sense
How do you know what you require?
Are you ok or are you on fire?
What’s on purpose and what’s a mistake?
How do you know when it’s time to escape?
When it’s time to escape?

Never
04:35

Crunching through tall grass
All the way up to the top of the mountain
All the way all the way all the way I
Pulled the lid off my head, it
Came right off
Wonder, it flooded in
Fine line between awe and fear
Prevent the tilt, don’t fall in
Keep it open, pay attention
Keep it open, pay attention
Keep it open, pay attention
Never, never forget
It will feel like too much to take
Concentrate, don’t run don’t break
Don’t run don’t break don’t
Never never never never
Close again
Wonder, let the wonder in
Don’t fall in
Fine line between awe and fear
Prevent the tilt, don’t fall in
Crunching through tall grass
All the way up to the top of the mountain
All the way all the way all the way I
Pulled the lid off my head, it
Came right off
Wonder, it flooded in
Let the wonder in

I Think I Understand
04:35
|

I think I understand
But what good is that?
I wish I could turn it down
Could turn it off
The more I understand, the less I feel
If I could change my mind,
I’d wipe it clear
The more I understand, the less I dream
The less I see, the less I see
A hole in the sand used to be all I need
I saw a wink in everything
My tiny triumphs seemed impossible feats
And I was never afraid to reach, afraid to reach
The more I understand, the less I feel
If I could change my mind, I’d wipe it clear
The more I understand the less I dream
The less I see, the less I see
Nothing ever means what you think it means anyway
Nothing ever means what you think it means anyway
