Googling How To Act 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Think I hate my mistakes Because they're always the same Got a stubborn heart The past stays keepin' me in chains While I tried to rearrange These things in my DNA Googling how to act But nobody is reading that I only see the qualities that I don't need I only see the qualities that I don't need I take it so slow I take it so slow I take it so slow It's all I ever known Googling how to act Googling how to act Googling how to act Cause I don't know jack shit I try to relax While I lay on my back Try to comfort myself Feels okay when I can laugh How I long for the smile The kind that isn't defiled By an internal fire Brandishing a happy liar I only see the qualities I don't need I take it so slow I take it so slow I take it so slow It's all I ever known Googling how to act Googling how to act Googling how to act Cause I don't know jack shit

To Break These Binds 03:01
lyrics

I don't know what the future holds for me Though I don't think I ever did Only thought apocalypse All these words and worlds that I could not control So difficult to think about Bettin' all my chips on what to live without Way things go when you're alive Never ask for what's inside Often try Control the tide Anything to break these binds Angled flow, narrow mind Locked in a casket Key cannot find Often cry For the sight of eyes Anything to break these binds

Happy Mask Salesman 03:05
lyrics

Feels like something's in the way Has to be there Oh I'm so aware of something in the air Haven't left my lair for many days Too many faces I don't know which one of them is mine Mask 1, Mask 2, Mask 3 Throw them all away I'd rather lose it all than keep on feelin' Like a conman always schemin' in the dark A conman always schemin' in the dark A conman always schemin' in the dark A conman always schemin' in the dark Like to think that I've got heart Hard to think when your judgements are heartless Like a swerving car Drunken driver don't care who he kills Don't matter at all Don't matter at all Don't matter who he kills Don't matter at all Don't matter at all Don't matter who he kills Happy happy happy mask salesman Happy happy happy mask salesman Happy happy happy mask salesman Happy happy happy mask salesman Mask 1, Mask 2, Mask 3 Throw them all away I'd rather lose it all than keep on feelin' Like a conman always schemin' in the dark A conman always schemin' in the dark A conman always schemin' in the dark A conman always schemin' in the dark

Salt 02:37
lyrics

Found myself suspended on the calm side of your line Convince myself to spare you from my disdainful mind Never will I be that person you don't need Oh I might convince you that I'm a caring guy But I take myself for granted so I just might Take this the wrong way Fixation on mistakes Mistakes Take me as a grain of salt otherwise I just might burn you down Take me as a grain of salt otherwise I just might burn you down Burn you down Hope I can convince myself to feel something inside But I need ventilators for my heart and for my spine Convoluted days Frustration dulls the blade I feel so frayed Take me as a grain of salt otherwise I just might burn you down Take me as a grain of salt otherwise I just might burn you down Burn you down

Oxy 02:08
lyrics

I was waiting in the parking lot Contemplating things that I probably should not These humans are emotive robots Pretending they know you While they putting you inside of their box I'm finding that I say that a lot But am I that different? No I think maybe I should just stop The hypocritical oxymoron Hypocritical oxymoron Hypocritical oxymoron Hypocritical oxymoron Plaintive waning of the clock Contemporary things confuse me The simple robot We stupid are an interesting lot Pretending we know truth While we pack it in a safe little box Unwinding in the warmth of the flock I'd rather be happy than a cynic lost inside his own thoughts Hypocritical oxymoron Hypocritical oxymoron Hypocritical oxymoron Hypocritical oxymoron

Sleeve Steve 03:21
lyrics

I was just a little bit too shy Stuck in my mind A patient waiting for romantic miracles Charming giddy grin had caught my eye Magnificence bountiful inside Simply one of a kind I was in decline for years of my life I only wish my song would reach you Caught up in the bullshit Being something you're not Let a counterfeited world in And then you forgot The person that you are is a squishy mess Just like all the others But at least you're honest The sort of song I feel the need to sing out loud This is what I feel now so why aren't I proud? The person who is hiding deep inside an office Right now needs peace and quiet To bring solace Quietly stubborn Still that sentimental child Going through the motions Wearing these emotions on my sleeve Caught up in the bullshit No I ain't a robot Just an organic machine built upon several flaws Your dirty shame-filled baggage It should never be missed I've thrown it in the garbage To become more honest To look more the jester with a shit-eating grin Than the phony king who's angry that he will never win The game of life is bound by many fucked up rules Written by the players Though they still always lose They still always lose They still always lose They still always lose They still always lose They still always lose Lightning and rubber Like my sentimental smile Cuttin' through commotion Feels like magic potion Oh I'm going through the motion Wearing these emotions on my sleeve Emotions on my sleeve Emotions on my sleeve Emotions on my sleeve

Wrong Grind 02:35
lyrics

Before the world collapses Best get up to capture mine The more that my brain lapses The faster I'm losing time Yes I know I've taken it too slow Losing control Dug myself a hole Before my lungs collapse I'll smoke up one more of my dreams I tore the score in half When my world turned itself on repeat That's how it goes when daily life is dull You can't always hold The weight of something so God damn boring Oh I feel it grinding Feel it grinding me My bones my soul I feel the heat Feel the heat From my Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind At last I feel inspired Something I could talk about Became the only thing it's worth Damn I should shut my mouth Bottle up all of your feelings And throw them up Into something that isn't so God damn boring Oh I feel it grinding Feel it grinding me My bones my soul I feel the heat Feel the heat From my Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind Wrong grind

Off Day 06:30

In your actions I see everything About myself that I hate the most So why choose to change my behavior When I can waste all my effort Talkin' about you Off day Off boy Offset The balance of my thoughts Oh regret Off day Off boy Offset The balance of my thoughts Oh regret Externalizing this sense will only Cement the stasis of my regression It's a way of normalizing my biggest pitfalls It's like my life is losing depth Fillin' all my boots with lead Oh I'm drownin' myself to death Off day Off boy Offset The balance of my thoughts Oh regret Off day Off boy Offset The balance of my thoughts Oh regret Off day Off boy Offset The balance of my thoughts Oh regret Off day Off boy Offset The balance of my thoughts Oh regret Oh I feel blue waiting for someone to tell me what to do Well I cannot help your situation I cannot help you No no no Oh no Oh no Oh no I have been running away For some time since yesterday But they don't really need to know All of these little things about me You are so fine When you're near me I have difficulty concentrating Oh shit

Бабушка 01:57
lyrics

С днем ​​рождения баба лиля Я тебя люблю I wish there was more I could say to you Tried to learn Russian but I never follow through Hear your sweet voice in my memory Still feel the love of your heartbeat You're a woman for the 21st century Someone everyone should strive to be Баба лиля You're so far from me So hear my song of love Баба лиля Passion you gave to me Wrote straight into my genes Still wear the necklace you sent to me so many years ago From the day I got it, I never took it off Wearing it proud and when they ask I tell them all about the beautiful woman in Yekaterinburg Баба лиля Can't fly to you for free But soon I'll find the money Баба лиля I hope you aren't lonely You're simply too lovely for that
