Good morning you can take a seat I’m hoping you’ll confide in me You just let it out And I’ll determine what you need There’s gotta be something Some vulnerability You just give it time I’ll get you everything you dream Check this out I scale a wall and it’s crumbling down Now where am I? You can find me in The Inbetween Motivation and the apathy A battle and the harmony I’m committed with the frozen feet Devotion and the blasphemy I’ll be floating somewhere in between I think we’re onto something You gotta open up to me A little more time I’ll get you everything you dream Check this out I scale a wall and it’s crumbling down Now where am I? Where am I? You can find me in The Inbetween Motivation and the apathy A battle and the harmony I’m committed with the frozen feet Devotion and the blasphemy I’ll be floating somewhere in between Now where am I? You can find me in The Inbetween Motivation and the apathy A battle and the harmony I’m committed with the frozen feet Devotion and the blasphemy I’ll be floating somewhere in between You can find me in The Inbetween Motivation and the apathy A battle and the harmony I’m committed with the frozen feet Devotion and the blasphemy I’ll be floating somewhere in between Come on, try a little. Work with me Prying out what you really need He’s both apparent and a mystery I’m diagnosing something in between

Ultimately, I’m over it But ten years later, I’m still curious Was it always your intent From the get - the get-go, at my expense So watch what you say You’re strong enough to say what you mean You wouldn’t want for me to know exactly What you think I’m rational enough to realize That maybe at the start, we were doing fine Then possibly it was me Was I too clingy Yeah, maybe Even then Would that really warrant Deliberate pain So watch what you say You’re strong enough to say what you mean You wouldn’t want for me to know exactly What you think My patience, growing thin And time is running out And soon you’ll move onto another poor soul To burden with your doubt So, take your time Cause I’ve got mine To spend on someone else So take your time, cause I’ve got mine In retrospect, I no longer resent If nothing else, thanks for messing around So I could learn how that felt And feel the burn of how you felt I hope you’re doing fine Yeah, I really do And maybe - just maybe You learned something too So watch what you say You’re strong enough to say what you mean You wouldn’t want for me to know exactly What you think So watch what you say You’re strong enough to say what you mean You wouldn’t want for me to know exactly What you think My patience, growing thin And time is running out And soon you’ll move onto another poor soul To burden with your doubt So, take your time Cause I’ve got mine To spend on someone else So take your time, cause I’ve got mine

Oh! My Medicine. 03:02

Oh, my medicine’s run dry How am I supposed to get by Cope dose, therapy I know Always chasing that high How can you expect a fight When all the motives are locked inside You got to force them to see the daylight Prescribe, dose it to get right Desperate to stay in the fight Cope dose, ignoring the echo Tired of being contrite How can you expect a fight When all the motives are locked inside You got to force them to see the daylight How can you expect a fight When all the motives are locked inside You got to force them to see the daylight How can you expect a fight When all the motives are locked inside You got to force them to see the daylight

Cheers 03:32
lyrics

Age is just a number I said a number of times To those who are older They envy my time Here’s to the years, and Cheers to the fear Always been the young one They never let me forget The constant reminders of my youth, I - I grew to resent Now thirty’s my number I feel it this time Am I allowed to feel old, or Should I keep wasting my time Here’s to the years, and Cheers to the fear Recalling dreams I can’t remember Why can’t I remember Probably wasn’t even the contender Whatever, surrender Fail or not before September Whenever, surrender I won’t fail before September It’s like I’ve been waiting Until twenty-nine I think I kind of believed them And took for granted the time Age is now the number Bearing down on my mind And as it ticks higher Fear I won’t have enough time Here’s to the years, and Cheers to the fear Recalling dreams I can’t remember Why can’t I remember Probably wasn’t even the contender Whatever, surrender Fail or not before September Whenever, surrender Flirt with failure by mid-December

A Certain Kind of Nerve 04:06
lyrics
buy track
A certain kind of nerve To claim it as their own They recognize the worth But can’t leave it alone The pride you felt before They took it as their own Stripped it of its soul And paraded through your home A long way from where we’re from Also a long way left to go Preaching the status quo Is only a good way to go in circles A broker comes in peace Content with ignorance Extends an offering That could never reimburse That certain kind of nerve They spin it as their own Perpetuate the worth A source we’ll never know Imagine the other shoe Got to give credit where credit’s due Acknowledge what they all knew Continue the effort to force a breakthrough A long way from where we’re from Also a long way left to go Preaching the status quo Is only a good way to go in circles A long way from where we’re from A certain kind of nerve Continue the effort to force a breakthrough Acknowledge what they all knew A certain kind of nerve Got to give credit where credit’s due Preaching the status quo A certain kind of nerve Is only a good way to go in circles
