Surrendering 04:57
You reach out and stand by, as I drift away, the pretense is the thing that's disgusting me, walking high on the grounds of humility, it’s just a little bit of time before the infidelity Scattered round are the lies and uncertainty, of the things that you said and protected me, from the fear taking hold suffocating me, it’s just a little bit of time before you take it away And i’ll wake up a god, your time is nearly up, and i’ll find other ways, for me to save another day, and i’ll wake up a god, your time is nearly up, and i’ll find other ways, for me to save another day When I tried to feel, your hands on me, when I died before surrendering When I tried to feel, your hands on me, when I died before surrendering I remember dreams of us, the only ones i’ve ever lost are forgotten in a place, the demons call my only fate, and i’ll drift in higher thoughts, your only emotion is loss as you’ll find other ways to live with loneliness for days When I tried to feel, your hands on me, when I died before surrendering When I tried to feel, your hands on me, when I died before surrendering Climb down your hideout, and fade away, climb down your hideout, and fade away Climb down your hideout, and fade away, it’s just a little bit of time before the infidelity, climb down your hideout, and fade away, it’s just a little bit of time before you take it away And i’ll wake up a god, your time is nearly up, and i’ll find other ways, for me to save another day, and i’ll wake up a god, your time is nearly up, and i’ll find other ways, for me to save another day When I tried to feel, your hands on me, when I died before surrendering When I tried to feel, your hands on me, when I died before surrendering

Harbour 05:09
I never will be lonely, cuz there’s inside, I never will be lonely, cuz there’s inside, look hard and you will find me, which one will it be, look hard and you will find me, lonely I will never be For too long, I believed I might be harbouring someone, all my thoughts began to merge and you were gone, recollection of the trauma that I know, when my time is up i’ll never let you go I never will be lonely, cuz there’s inside, I never will be lonely, cuz there’s inside Welcome home, I protected all the walls from falling down, there's a sign without your name thats on the ground, will you carve it up from pieces that I know, when my time is up i’ll never let you go Go, when my time is up i’ll never let you go, when my time is up i’ll never let you go, when my time is up i’ll never let you go For too long, I believed I might be harbouring someone, all my thoughts began to merge and you were gone, recollection of the trauma that I know, when my time is up i’ll never let you go I never will be lonely, cuz there’s inside, I never will be lonely, cuz there’s inside, look hard and you will find me, which one will it be, look hard and you will find me, lonely I will never be Look hard and you will find me, lonely I will never be

We all know dreams move on and the visions gone, let it rest in peace tonight, after all we’ve said that's it we’re done It’s suffocating my, entangled cautious mind, I need a better me, a better life (your taking advantage too), the kinder parts of me, are hidden under roots, and when i’m free, it angers you (your taking advantage too) I was taught to treat all forms with respect and warmth, nevertheless that leaves tonight, after all i’m hated no matter what It’s suffocating my, entangled cautious mind, I need a better me, a better life (your taking advantage too), the kinder parts of me, are hidden under roots, and when i’m free, it angers you (your taking advantage too) No more will I ignore the path onward that holds me in decline, I remember who you really are It’s suffocating my, entangled cautious mind, I need a better me, a better life (your taking advantage too), the kinder parts of me, are hidden under roots, and when i’m free, it angers you (your taking advantage too) It’s suffocating my, entangled cautious mind, I need a better me, a better life (your taking advantage too), the kinder parts of me, are hidden under roots, and when i’m free, it angers you (your taking advantage too)

You refine identity, you found my heart again, you refine identities, you refound my heart again Breathe in life, heartbreak like, glass shards sticking in your palms, breathe in life, love lost eyes are home You refine identity, you found my heart again, you refine identities, you refound my heart again And it's time to unload, rest your hands on plates of gold, while i’m following the symmetry, and i’m scared of what we’ll be, and it's time to unload, rest your head and I will hold the weight of everything, and uncertainty, cuz i’m scared of where we’ll be Cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of where we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of where we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, and i’m scared of what we’ll be You refine identity, you found my heart again, you refine identities, you refound my heart again Cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of where we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of where we’ll be, cuz i’m scared of what we’ll be, and i’m scared of what we’ll be Breathe in life, heartbreak like, glass shards sticking in your palms, breathe in life, love lost eyes are home

I’ve been taking the time, and i’ve been thinking alone, as we fall to our knees, wishing that we’ll be alright, losing the automation, and false simulations, i’ve been thinking alone I’ve been waiting in line, and i’ve been thinking alone, sacrificing our needs, watching the ship going blind, losing the concentration to find degradation, i’ve been thinking alone Resisting all the truth makes me alive Believe what you know, the fragments fall into a little hole, confirmation bias holds I’ve seen searching online, and i’ve been thinking alone, justifying the means to push back clinical lies, losing the arbitration, and recommendations, i’ve been thinking alone I’ve been feeling alive, and i’ve been thinking alone, deciding my future dreams, and where I want to reside, losing the segregation, i’m finally awakened, i’ve been thinking alone Resisting all the truth makes me alive Believe what you know, the fragments fall into a little hole, confirmation bias holds, believe what you know, conspiracies are there to make you small, and you question it all I’ve been thinking alone Pretending what i’m hold, it’s what's inside Believe what you know, the fragments fall into a little hole, confirmation bias holds, believe what you know, conspiracies are there to make you small, and you question it all Believe what you know, the fragments fall into a little hole, confirmation bias holds, believe what you know, conspiracies are there to make you small, and you question it all

Let go 04:45
Pretending i’m awake, alert and lifting up, a solid state of change Reality is strange, perspectives rip and cut, the very fabrics of our days It happens every day, it happens when you know, reciprocating hate is here but I don't want to go, reminiscing all the pain, supporting your ego, I cannot feel, I cannot wait I just want to let go I just want to let go I just want to let go I just want to let go Revising things in play, avoiding slipping up, a tempered tone displayed Reality is pain, i’m scared of losing touch, my values slip away It happens every day, it happens when you know, reciprocating hate is here but I don't want to go, reminiscing all the pain, supporting your ego, I cannot feel, I cannot wait I just want to let go And I just want to let go And I just want to let go And I just want to let go And I just want to let go It happens every day, it happens when you know, reciprocating hate is here but I don't want to go, reminiscing all the pain, supporting your ego, I cannot feel, I cannot wait I just want to let go I just want to let go I just want to let go I just want to let go I just want to let go

Feathers 06:04
Grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers Do I have to tell the truth, i’m crawling into these, tectonic moving things, that could break your heart in two, forgot about the proof, its paper anyway, no written parts could say, how sorry I could be There's something you should know, there's something you should know, but I don’t know how to say, there's something you should know, there's something you should know, but I don’t know how to say, and if I do , then i’m gone Grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers There's something you should know, there's something you should know, but I don’t know how to say, there's something you should know, there's something you should know, but I don’t know how to say, and if I do , then i’m gone The faults are clear and true, i’m broken by the way, my body always fails, my mind is hard to change, we’ve seen of better days, I know i'm not here long, goodbye my feathered friend, be a better you Grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers, grow feathers
