schollert I really love the album. Refreshing yet with a vocal style inspired by older heavy-weighters in the business like The Smiths, The Cure and New Order.

I find that a slightly better mastering would lift the album even further, but as an indie album - love it!!

Verse 1: Days, every single one's become the same And I just don't know why, I can't Move past the things out of my hands But I wanna try Bridge: All my life I wondered how To really be happy Even now I don't know how But still more than the last me Chorus: There's something better, I can feel it There's something more than lonely nights So I never stop my reckless thoughts To tear my life apart and watch it burn We're moving on Verse 2: Life, is liable to go and pass me by And I don't want to miss it Why is nothing ever what I hope? I try, but everything just fades Bridge: All my life I wondered how To really be happy Even now I don't know how But still more than the last me Chorus: There's something better, I can feel it There's something more than lonely nights So I never stop my reckless thoughts To tear my life apart and watch it burn We're moving on Outro: There's something better, I can feel it There's something more, than lonely nights So I never stop I never stop I never stop I never Watch it burn We're moving on

So In Love 03:46
Chorus: I was so in love (x3) I was so in love with you Verse 1: So tell me darlin', if you miss me there by your side Even sometimes? It's funny now, thought I was better next to you But I didn't know how it would all explode, no Chorus: But I was so in love (x3) I was so in love with you Verse 2: And I couldn't help it, if I wanted you there by my side All the time So tell me now, if life is better when I'm not around Does it feel alone, no? Abrupt Bridge Thing: I guess things weren't right, and I tried to hide From the bright red signs flashing all the time But it's hard to fight when you find a life less lonely, when you'd hold me We were different and we were driftin' and You had different plans I can understand why But it still hurts to say goodbye Prolly be worse to stay but I Never really had a steady life So I guess I wasn't ready I (x2) I let it go (x3) Oh but you know Chorus: I was so in love (x3) I was so in love with you Outro: I didn't know where this life would go I just thought you'd be there for sure And there are some things you can't know And others you have to let go I thought a life with you'd be nice At least a time would be alright And when I looked into your eyes I didn't think you would say goodbye I was so in love

Fear 04:19
Chorus: When my light goes will I bear it? When my time comes will I fear it? And I'm falling down so slow Where we go for now, I don't know Verse 1: And I'm not gonna do it wrong now I'm not gonna do it wrong now I thought that we could maybe work it out I want I want I want to work it out Cause when I think about a life without Goddamn it's such a heavy thing to lose I don't know where I'm supposed to go for now Cause I thought you would always be around Chorus: When my light goes will I bear it? When my time comes will I fear it? And I'm falling down so slow Where we go for now, I don't know Verse 2: And when I look around at all this hurt I don't know exactly just what it's worth You know to get out of the past was work And I don't know if I can ever go Back to the way we ever were before Not that I want to I just know for sure There there's no turning back for me and you Guess we'll just go to where we're meant to Chorus: When my light goes will I bear it? When my time comes will I fear it? And I'm falling down so slow Where we go for now, I don't know

Cannonball 03:44
Verse 1: I wake up in the morning I fall apart again I don't know where I'm going I'm so afraid to end Bridge (repeated once): And it's so plain to see I made a fool of me Verse 2: I can't fall asleep now Memories play again These secrets that I keep now They've become my best friends Bridge (repeated once): And it's so plain to see I made a fool of me Outro (repeated, like, a lot): And after all, I'm a cannonball You know I'm sinking You know I'm sinking

Verse 1: Wake up early, wake up late Honey what's the difference? Still not okay Tears in my breakfast Tears on my plate Tears on my t-shirt Tears on my face Bridge: And I still don't know If I'll ever feel right again But I can't let go So I'll try something Chorus: Let's cry outside Let's cry outside Cry in the day Cry in the night Cry at the park Cry on your bike Let's cry outside Let's cry outside Verse 2: Oh I've been biking Yeah I've been biking These tears are definitely not Cause I'm sad Oh I've been biking Yeah I've been biking This has nothing to do With how I feel so bad Bridge: And I still don't know If I'll ever feel right again But I can't let go So I'll try something Chorus: Let's cry outside Let's cry outside Cry in the day Cry in the night Cry at the park Cry on your bike Let's cry outside Let's cry outside Breakdown: Now everybody just hide em Hide your tears Everybody just hide em Just hide your tears Everybody just hide em Oh baby... hide your tears Pull the strings on your hoody And watch the whole world disappear Chorus: Let's cry outside Let's cry outside Cry in the day Cry in the night Cry at the park Cry on your bike Let's cry outside Let's cry outside

Verse 1: I felt it once, darlin' I felt it a thousand times When you don't want to run or let it go Not slowing down, I know it now, it's just another time I try to dream, I try to hope, I just can't let it die Bridge: But when the truth hits my hop gets smaller When it's too broken to forget further I don't want to be wrong But you know when it's gone And I know, and I know Chorus (repeats once): Cause it feels like Falling apart again Yeah it feels like Falling apart Verse 2: I said it once, I probably said it a thousand times Oh no goodbye, with bleary eyes, is stuck up on repeat And I don't know just where love goes When time erodes us and splits apart Back to the dark, lost who we are Or just who we could be Bridge: But when the truth hits my hop gets smaller When it's too broken to forget further I don't want to be wrong But you know when it's gone And I know, and I know Chorus (repeats once): Cause it feels like Falling apart again Yeah it feels like Falling apart Outro: Alone in my bed, stuck in my head Did I even try? I know that I hurt my closest friend I couldn't say goodbye I'm losing control To get a hold of a sense of myself But I know way too well how this ends cause it feels like feels like feels like falling apart apart apart apart

Verse 1: When I was a boy, I thought I'd live a life of joy And then I watched the world just crumble before my eyes And now I'm 26 and still feel like that young lost kid And I'm not sure how I'm supposed to live How'd we get like this? Chorus: When I was a boy How'd we get like this Verse 2: When I was 18 I was so scared of everything Just trying to live life like the dreams that were in my head When my daddy left and came back Told me there's no death and I shouldn't be afraid of loss And live it all Chorus: When I was a boy How'd we get like this Verse 3: When my grandma passed I think I lost At least like half of the hope I had In the world and what life could be And I let myself fall so low I could have lost it all but I know That that's not what she'd want So I crawled up back When I was a boy I knew the world Could have been mine But now I'm finding I'm alone I can't see the light Chorus: When I was a boy How'd we get like this

If I'm Wrong 03:14
A million miles away, I'm just a million miles... Verse 1: Floating by, hiding from the stars My doubtful mind, is fighting with my heart Oh time goes by, but sometimes it feels Like I got left behind, lost in my head Bridge: So tell me if I'm wrong Or lost somewhere I don't belong I tried to hide my lonesome fight too long Chorus: Tell me if I'm wrong And when my mind runs Tell me if I'm wrong And when it's all gone Tell me if I'm wrong I know, I know I lose control when I Get carried on Oh tell me if I'm wrong a million miles away... i'm just a million miles... Verse 2: All I know, days have come and passed But I can't let go of the demons in my past Oh take me home I can't be the only one To lose control of what's in my head Bridge: So tell me if I'm wrong Or lost somewhere I don't belong I tried to hide my lonesome fight too long Chorus: Tell me if I'm wrong And when my mind runs Tell me if I'm wrong And when it's all gone Tell me if I'm wrong I know, I know I lose control when I Get carried on Oh tell me if I'm wrong

Verse 1: All the time passed before my eyes And I've become another one I'm not the guy who saw your eyes And though that you'd be mine for all of time Sometimes I fall apart and look at pictures in the dark And cry But I know I can't go back Sometimes I dream of us and then my memories turn to dust And I don't wanna be, who I was Chorus (repeated once): But I wanna tell you, that I really miss you But I don't know you at all Verse 2: I won't lie, watching us go by As we got locked in wasn't excellent And knowing you, will find somebody who Makes so much sense for you Don't always bring me peace But I know I was not meant to Be someone who was locked into A normal life That was never mine And I am better off just stuck inside This room alone Not that's a better life Then what was left behind Chorus (repeated a lot): But I wanna tell you, that I really miss you But I don't know you at all Overlapping vocal: You ran away, you ran away, you ran away, but I ran too Who did you run to?
