Hear Me Out 04:03
I’m a race car On my way to a junkyard Thought this was the fun part I’m a train wreck Borderline embarrassment Livin’ in my head I said it’s not a race man But I get impatient when I stop And I fall Hit my head against the wall When I’m on the road I’ve got it figured out When I’m stuck at home I’m a scared mouse When I’m surrounded I’m spinning in my wheelhouse When I’m all alone Who’s there to hear me out? Stale Hot air Stale Yea I know I’m a hard case I’ve been digging my own grave It takes its toll But I sleep in the bed that I made All these frustrations I can’t escape ‘em So I stop, and I fall Hit my head against the wall When I’m on the road I’ve got it figured out When I’m stuck at home I’m a scared mouse When I’m surrounded I’m spinning in my wheelhouse When I’m all alone Who’s there to hear me out? Stale Hot air Who’s there to hear me out? Stale Hot air Who’s there to hear me out? My body’s broken But my heart is wide open Let’s keep it going I wanna feel it all When I’m on the road I’ve got it figured out When I’m stuck at home Who’s there to hear me out? Stale Who’s there to hear me out? Hot air Who’s there to hear me out? Stale Who’s there to hear me out Hot air Who’s there to hear me out Stale Who’s there? I’m on the floor again And I’m drowning in my own deep end Who’s there to hear me out? Who’s there to hear me out? Who’s there to hear me out? Who’s there to hear me out? Who’s there to hear me out?

Backbone 03:13
You’re so erratic Come and show me who you are Don’t keep me in the dark I’ve gone down the roads you told me to go Now there’s nowhere to hide I already know Oh You won’t let go Don’t wanna be another bitch without a backbone Oh Don’t make me lose control Oh no You won’t let go Don’t wanna be another bitch without a backbone If I take another hit God rest my soul I’ll go Where you tell me to be I break bones Then I’m back on the streets Ya, I’m a ghost Feelin’ dead on my feet Just bleeding out the last of my energy I’m so glad I’m waking up Now that I don’t give a fuck I’m wasted I got no soul Guess you reap what you sow Oh You won’t let go Don’t wanna be another bitch without a backbone Oh Don’t make me lose control Oh no You won’t let go Don’t wanna be another bitch without a backbone If I take another hit God rest my soul Oh Gotta face it I’m never coming out of the basement Oh Gotta face it I’m never coming out, never coming out Don’t wanna be another bitch without a backbone Oh no Don’t wanna be another bitch without a backbone If I take another hit God rest my, my God rest my soul You won’t let go God rest my soul You won’t let go You won’t let go

Flatbread 04:22
This year was nice and lonely Got high, my one and only Fell off the ladder sometimes Them snakes can really bite Tear off a piece of flatbread To try and help with fog head What’s left, what’s right inside me Pace back and forth, I’ve arrived Going through the motions Can't control them all just yet And I don’t wanna feel it Hard to even get ahead Catfish my conversations With static dissertations I start to feel real phoney For the moment, I’m alive Going through the motions Can't control them all just yet And I don’t wanna hear it It’s hard for me to understand I’m asking for directions Drowning in my reflection My socks get really holey As we walk the line As we walk the line As we walk the line And it gets pretty bad Some loose screws in my head Stay in bed all day This year was nice and lonely Got high, my one and only Fell off the ladder sometimes Them snakes can really bite I’m searching for connection Climactic self-expression I fall off the ladder sometimes Them snakes can really bite Them snakes can really bite Them snakes can really bite I’m in need of revelation Everything in moderation I’m in need of revelation Everything in moderation I’m in need of revelation Everything in moderation I’m in need of revelation Everything in moderation
