I find it a little bit overwhelming that right now you're listening to what I'm saying Please judge me by my hands instead of judging me by my words Cause instincts makes us act while reason tends to hurt I find comfort and solitude in insignificance All that I wanted was to keep you from listening Now that I've got you I won't let you miss a thing I find it a little bit overwhelming that right now you're listening to what I'm saying Yes I've been overwhelmed by emotions and it's not something I'm proud about Smiling slowly turns to compulsion and it's not something I'm proud about

Rainbow 04:38
Just because this thing is useless doesn't mean that I won't use it to make some music I bet there's colors of the rainbow that nobody has found So I'm still looking all around I bet there's colors of the rainbow that nobody has seen And that's where you'll find me Just because this thing is useless doesn't mean that I won't use it to make some music

Made Up 03:56
If I wrote this song it would probably be shitty So I made up a couple of friends just to help me make it pretty But it did not take long 'til my imagination failed me Yes I made up a couple of friends and now they're all trying to kill me You cannot hide from thoughts only cover them in pity You probably don't know your friends and all their shitty nitty gritty When I was young I had an imaginary pet But she died of an illness when I forgot to pretend to bring her to the vet All I need is just a little bit of sleep cause in my dreams at least I'm free from all my doubts If I wrote this song it would probably be shitty So I made up a couple of friends just to help me make it pretty But it did not take long 'til my imagination failed me Yes I made up a couple of friends and now they're all trying to kill me

I would like to say to you all the things I aim to do But I'm afraid that you won't understand That was just a lame excuse The truth is I'm always confused Believing what I do is who I am So hold your tongue to save your breath while I pretend to know your best Cause that's what I've been taught up as a man I'm pretty sure it's not that complicated Just a mix of lazy and indoctrinated nanana So pretend to be a bit intoxicated and then all you say can be denied if needed nanana So when shit gets crazy then instead of face it simply turn away and never come back later I would like to say to you all the things I aim to do but I'm afraid that you won't even care I should probably take this opportunity to conclude it's me and you and you and me in perpetuity So in truth it seems obtrusively obtuse to be choosing to loose your sleep to reconcile a mood that never used to be I'm pretty sure it's not that complicated Just a mix of lazy and indoctrinated A way of wasting whatever conversation could've been had instead of feeling alienated Pretend to be a bit intoxicated and then all you say can be denied if needed So when shit gets crazy then instead of face it simply turn away and never come back later

Balloon 02:53
Blow me up and let me go like I'm a balloon and I promise I will circle back and land next to you Cause home is wherever you want me 'least my comfort zone is not at all as daunting if echoed by the soundtrack of your heartbeats You're the kind of person that I feel like getting used to It would be my honor to believe that I amuse you Getting all excited just imagining our who's who You make me dream the way a snooze do I could be the bum in every bump behind a goose you want I could be your autopilot if you wanna cruise around Getting all excited just imagining I choose you You make me breath the way a noose do Blow me up and let me go like I'm a balloon and I promise I will circle back and land next to you Cause home is wherever you want me

The world stands still but I keep spinning and every direction I turn feels like upside down There's no one else that spins like you There's no one else that spins like you I wish that we could spin together Wouldn't it be fun There's no one else that smells like you There's no one else that smells like you I wish we could smell together that would be much better than my sweaty sweater Nothing ever lasts forever So what's the point of no return for now or never The world stands still but I keep spinning and every direction I turn feels like upside down I keep spinning 'round in circles cause it's the only way I've ever known

Come come now mix some heartache with fun Can't be right next to feel left behind One last time ditch your comfort and run Circle back to the end of the line Hunky dory drunk and horny Take a leap and judge it poorly It's all about the journey and not about the goal Sink your teeth in disagreements Savor both the taste and feeling Jumping high to reach conclusions Hold on tight or you might loose them Trying to be certain is trying to be wrong It's all about the journey and not about the goal

I'm running wild like a sugar high child Hiding a smile right behind a wider smile Lying online with no reason why but to get by when fomo is a way of life Biding my time at the speed of light trying to find a love that isn't advertised If you've got everything but love do you think everything will do do you bonjour (nonsense) Finding words to describe what I'm meaning distorts what I think and obscures what I'm feeling I'm going numb like a hand under pressure from all of the effort it takes to feel pleasure All I want is a shoulder to cry on but I'm way to poor to be able to buy one Only love is a source to rely on when trying to force to let bygones be bygones If you've got everything but love do you think everything's enough to bluff since it's unreasonable the things we seem to do for stuff

It's been to long since I heard your laughter It's been to long since I saw you smile It's all alone in forever after It's all alone without your meow

Gone 04:27
I thought it was just thirty seconds A brief moment of internal reflections But then I noticed my entire day was gone A little bit of everything from one night stands to wedding rings A little bit of everything is gone A little bit of everything is ought to be quite menacing Cause a little bit of everything is wrong
11.
Fart 04:38
I want your underwear to filter all my air Baby I think you've got a sexy exit So if you ever need a toilet text me It's not humiliating if it makes you happy Life is but a kink away from becoming fantastic If you like Pokémon I'll be your Lickitung Cause when you number two you are my number one And the only thing better than the smell has to be the sound Listen to your farts All in all it's not that bad nanana passing gas It's not the best rhyme that I've made but I'm still happy
12.
Tomorrow 03:41
Baby every day was once tomorrow Tomorrow's got no strings attached Like a lazy spider A chicken head ready to hatch with a snake inside it Maybe tomorrow's your birthday And maybe your birthday's a thursday The only thing I know for certain Tomorrow will show you no mercy As soon as you wrap up the present tomorrow will come and take it all away Not sure if it's some sort of lesson All I know is yesterday is not what they say The past is contagious The future inevitable The worst thing to happen to anyone is feeling like having it all I'm fighting my insomnia by jojoing self-medication And trying to become a little older without hesitation My my this vibe is kinda wild Yes I feel so inspired I'm gonna stay up through the night and then regret it for a while Maybe when it's said and done today was not a waste of time So fuck it all I don't wanna be responsible I'd rather sacrifice tomorrow than have a really boring now Maybe when it's said and done today was not a waste of time Trying to become a bit acquainted with the future but all of my advances seems to be lesser than futile Probably because I'm always jumping to conclusion Maybe when it's said and done today was not a waste of time

Worst things first is my only solution to "what am I supposed to do" I would if I could but I can't so I won't What am I supposed to do Confusing my shoulds and my have tos with wants What am I supposed to do But not that far from whatever I wanted anything is possible At least that's what I'm always told At least that's what I'm always sold I wish I knew just how to play the piano so everyone could sing along Instead I'm stuck here being afraid of my shadow and making noises on my own I wish I knew just how to play the piano Yes I would write you all my songs Instead I'm stuck here being afraid of my shadow Deleting my google search history all alone
