Verse 1:
Words cut through this |Air so damn thick
Thick with tension | You made, I’m sick
Feeling like I’m |To blame for the
Things that you do |I’m not your maid
Go and pick up | Your own damn mess
Don’t say I pushed | You are spineless
Grow up dammnit | Act like a man
Don’t make me the | Villain
Chorus:
Cause I gave four damn years
To you and your worst years
The times sunk so I’ll go
And be fine on my own
Verse 2:
Is it hard to | Think of me there
Out On my own| without you there
Holding me back | Bullshit and lies
Sometimes there is| More behind these
Eyes that look like | I’ll take your shit
I have had it | I’m done with it
Pack up your things | leave all that’s mine
I guess you have | nothing
Bridge:
You hold me down 6x
Let me go 2x
Verse 3:
You hold me down | you hold me back
I’ve said it twice | now it’s a fact
You’ve screwed me up | in every way
How’d I think that you’d care for me
Look at me now | Me and myself
You just cared for you and yourself
You have to be blind or just dumb
If you think I’ll stay around
Chorus 2:
I don’t need you holding
My hand like you own me
I am my own person
One who’ll be fine on my own

Spiral

Verse 1:
I’ve been drinking my blues away
Liquid strong and clear as day
Something sharp to ease the pain
Or erase it from my memory
It’s been so long I can’t refrain
From a glass to wash the stain
Of the shit that I used to say
I can feel it mixing in my veins
Chorus:
I need more every night
For the same effect
Slowly I drown (drug) my soul
Slowly I drown (drug) myself
My brain's connections
Have changed in ways
I don’t live off the water (air)
I live off the wine instead (medicine)
Verse 2:
My friends tried to intervene
I’m worse than they'd ever seen
Told them I can’t let it be
They won’t talk to me until I’m clean
Oh-------------------
One more shot I’m back to me
I’m still only 23
How did I fall so damn quickly
No-----------------
I can’t blame it on her it now
She hasn’t been around
And I do not know how
Bridge:
My friends called me yesterday
Didn’t pick up Just let it rang
Sounds they just don’t feel the same
I don’t feel the same
Chorus 2:
I have got nothing left
But bottles and bottles (needles and pills)
So I try something new
Different drugs different vials (mix them all together
I can’t think anymore
Thats all I ever wanted
Is that all I wanted
I dont remember (I’m spiralling)

Thinking to Myself
03:50
|
|||
Verse 1:
i’ve been pondering
i’ve been stumbling
looking for some answers
to the problem that we face
I’ve been wondering
I’ve been worrying
our paths are crossing out
we can’t stay in place
I still got two years
you just have one left
I don't think that you can stay
I can’t make you either
I’ve been praying
I’ve been holding
Looking out for some more Answers
seems like I’m just here
Chorus:
thinking to myself that I can’t be here with you
keep telling myself I need to go
feeling that I need to do what’s best for you
This is something you can’t ever know
thinking to myself that I’m just an anchor
keep telling myself to cut the rope
I'm feeling you could go and be great without me
This is me just thinking to myself
Bridge
i’ve been pondering
i’ve been stumbling
I’ve been wondering
I’ve been worrying

Take it Back
03:06
|

Verse 1:
You’re something to believe in
Something to believe in
I’ve been haunted by these demons
But now I’m tasting freedom
I’ve fought for many different reasons
Stopped my heart from feeling
But now you helped me get it beating
I feel I’ve found the reason
Chorus:
To stay alive To hold on tight
To the good piece I have inside
This broken soul You make me whole
You are the reason I’m still alive
Verse 2:
They called me different names
But they all meant the same
I was a killer in their wide eyes
Killer for their flag that still flies
They didn’t call me hero
They asked me why did I go
But you understood my reasons
Became the only one
**Chorus**
Chorus 2:
You took me in you Healed my wounds
You Gave me love when Others turned
Away from me scared of what I was
You stayed with me and kept me alive

Over It
02:56
|
|||
Verse 1:
I don’t know why| It just feels right
Drink in my hand| My kinda night
Letting out steam| Blowing hot air
About how were gonna be big someday in some other where
If you ask me| life is best when
Best friends and best drinks mix and we so get wasted
I got two years| left in this place
I’m gonna party hard and live large cause before you know it it’s too late
Pre-Chorus:
Let’s live it up tonight Woah
Let’s have some fun Yeah
(Repeat)
Chorus:
I’m feeling to young to slow down
This music’s still shaking the ground
I’m not reckless I Promise
I’m just living to the fullest
Verse 2:
Judge me if you want to because
That just means you’re stuck inside with nothing else to do
I’m only 19| living my life
One mistake| maybe more is ok when I explore
The inside of my mind| when I’m
Maybe on something weird but who cares I’m young
The music sounds good the people here are
Getting me into the mood to sing along with all these songs
Chorus 2:
I think it’s pretty amazing
That we get to be this crazy
I’m going take the chance I have
And live to the fullest
