Fuck this absent motivation
I’m sick and tired of being frustrated
Fuck this place, I’m going nowhere
I’m getting bored of always waiting
Now I’m alone
Screaming up from down below
Always feeling trapped
And I don’t know which way to go
Why do we play the same old games
When we know that the result will be the same
I have way too much self-doubt
And I’m so goddamn burned out
Feels like I’ll never change
Fuck this absent motivation
My failure’s like an affirmation
Fuck this place, I’m going nowhere
I’m lying here depreciating
So give me some applause
I feel like a fucking fraud
I’m so out of place in this industry
Feels like the whole world keeps turning without me
Why do we play the same old games
When we know that the result will be the same
I have way too much self-doubt
And I’m so goddamn burned out
Feels like I’ll never change
It feels like that I'll never change
Why do we play the same old games
When we know that the result will be the same
If I deal with my self-doubt
And learn to live with this somehow
Maybe I can finally change

Sometimes I feel like I’m living a double life
Like everything I learned when I was young was just a lie
(It's just a lie)
I’m sick and tired of always running
I’ve had enough of self-destructing
It’s harder to keep fighting through the tide
Hard to keep fighting through the tide
What’s the use in growing up
When we’re just growing old
(We’re just growing old)
What’s the use in self-control
A problem I just can’t resolve
We’ve come too far to let it go
Sometimes I feel like the dream’s about to die
Like I’ll be forced to give everything up just to survive
(To survive)
They’re telling me it’s all for nothing
Don’t bother having this discussion
Soon I’ll have to stop aiming so high
What’s the use in growing up
When we’re just growing old
(We’re just growing old)
What’s the use in self-control
A problem I just can’t resolve
We’ve come too far to let it go
We've come too far to let it go
What’s the use in growing up
When we’re just growing old
(We’re just growing old)
What’s the use in self-control
A problem I just can’t resolve
We’ve come too far to let it go
So what's the use in growing up
When we're just growing old
(We've come too far to let it go)
I'll try to find my self-control
A problem I just can't resolve
We've come too far to let it, let it go

Anywhere // Anyone

I could never blend into a crowd, so sick of standing out
No matter what I do or say, it swings around back in my face
So even though I’m mired with my insecurities
I tend to throw on layers
When my heart is on my sleeve
Somehow you’re still here next to me
You said you’d never leave
But I’d do anything to make you stay
I could be the sunrise, I could be the night time
I could be the shooting star you wish upon
I’ll be left in misery if you and me were history
Cause you could be anywhere with anyone but instead you chose me
I can’t wake up from all the times I thought I’m living in a dream
Cause every time I look at you, you still captivate me
You claim that I’m so perfect, but yet I can’t understand
I second guess myself so much I’ve now lost track of who I am
Yeah I still get butterflies
Even after all this time
I could be the sunrise, I could be the night time
I could be the shooting star you wish upon
I’ll be left in misery if you and me were history
Cause you could be anywhere with anyone but instead you chose me
Yeah I still get butterflies
Even after all this time
Is this really what it's like to feel alive
(Yeah I still get butterflies)
Yeah I still get butterflies
(After all this time)
Even after all this time
(Yeah I still get butterflies)
Oh, is this really what it's like to feel alive
I could be the sunrise, I could be the night time
I could be the shooting star you wish upon
I’ll be left in misery if you and me were history
Cause you could be anywhere with anyone but instead you chose me
(I'll be left in misery if you and me were history)
You chose me
(I'll be left in misery if you and me were history)
You could be anywhere with anyone but instead you chose me

I confess
My mindset this year just hasn’t been the best
The ways I’ve been coping have been such a mess
If my mind’s becoming my prison
Then why do they tell me, that everything’s all in my head
Nowadays
I’m only sure of anything when I second guess
I’m only creative when I am depressed
I only think clearly when washed out
On antidepressants, I couldn’t care less
I struggle to find a good reason why
The sky turns grey
Could it be to say that maybe someday
That I’ll be okay
Will I be okay?
I’ve made some bad decisions I just can’t deal with
And I’ve spent more than a few years not deserving to live
I’ve found my retreat in some unhealthy habits
I’ve tattooed zen onto my arms and my chest
I struggle to find a good reason why
The sky turns grey
Could it be to say that maybe someday, that I'll
Someday I might be okay
So throw me away
If I’m as worthless as they say
Then I’m too scared of if I should stay or go
(Whoa-oh)
So I’ll just decay
If I belong in this world anyway
Then I think that’s it’s time for a change from you
(Whoa-oh)
I think that it’s time for a change from you
So throw me away
If I’m as worthless as they say
Then I’m too scared of if I should stay or go
(Whoa-oh)
So I’ll just decay
If I belong in this world anyway
Then I think that’s it’s time for a change from you
(Whoa-oh)
I think that it’s time for a change from you
I think that it’s time for a change from you

My True North

Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy
And my mind’s conjuring dark thoughts
That won’t let me be
But when I’m facing that ledge
You’re standing there with me
And at night I find myself awake
Cause it’s like this foul, corrupted world
Just wants me to break
But you’ve taught me what it feels like
To rise above the tide
Maybe I have finally found
A sense of stability
With you by my side
And I don’t notice the distance anymore
Because you’re my moral compass
It’s pointing true north
And when I’m directionless
You’re my pole star
If I can ever be saved, you’re the closest that anyone has come so far
That anyone has come so far
