Coexist 03:39
Holding onto feelings that just make you sad Holding onto evidence that I didn’t know I had For all the reasons that I can’t explain Holding onto everything that makes me lose my head For all the lies that you told to me I’ve made them all so simple so that I can be happy For all the reasons that I can’t explain I look past what is in my head To Coexist Holding on to lies because you said they’re true Getting rid of thoughts that make me think less of you For all the reasons that I can’t explain Holding onto everything that makes me lose my head For all the times that you fled to me With all your little issues that made it hard to read With all of the signs that I’ve tucked inside I look past what is in my head To Coexist Coexist It’s the pain, it’s fine, I know I’m lying I cannot resist To Coexist Holding on to lies because you said they’re true Getting rid of thoughts that make me think less of you For all the reasons that I can’t explain Holding onto everything that makes me lose my head For all the times that you fled to me With all your little issues that made it hard to read With all of the signs that I’ve tucked inside I look past what is in my head Coexist It’s the pain, it’s fine, I know I’m lying I cannot resist To Coexist Coexist It’s the pain, it’s fine, I know I’m lying I cannot resist To Coexist

Summer Said 04:05
She said, I won’t give your heart away She said, no, because it’s mine She said, we walk this nightmare hand in hand, don’t leave me for someone else She said, I won’t give your heart away, your heart She said, I won’t give your heart away like a loaded gun She said, I won’t give your heart away, your heart She said, it is just like night and day She said, no I won’t be fine She said, we walk this nightmare hand in hand, don’t leave me for someone else She said, I won’t give your heart away, your heart She said, I won’t give your heart away like a loaded gun She said, I won’t give your heart away, your heart She said… She said… She said… Your heart away, your heart She said, please wait, I’m lost and lonely If only we’d had the time She can’t be waiting on me only If only we’d had the time She said, I won’t give your heart away like a loaded gun She said, I won’t give your heart away, your heart She said… She said… She said… Your heart away, your heart

I have a weight, so large; I can’t begin to lift it I want to move so fast, but it is chaining me down My body wants to walk away My body needs to run away I have to lift or pull or push it any way I can Or my chance will leave with all the fight I ever had So, that’s it, my mind is made I see clearly No time to waste, I’ve freed the chains and now I’m standing tall But can’t seem to shake the feel that I’m against a wall And I could still walk away My body needs to run away I am so close, I see, I hear, I taste it even You’re standing there, alone, quick check to see I’m breathing Now it’s too late to walk away I see clearly It’s the time it takes For me to make mistakes When you’re around, around It’s feels like life or death I’ll never catch my breath When you’re around, around I want to take you home I have a weight, so large; I can’t begin to lift it I want to move so fast, but it is chaining me down My body wants to walk away My body needs to run away I have to lift or pull or push it any way I can Or my chance will leave with all the fight I ever had So, that’s it, my mind is made I see clearly It’s the time it takes For me to make mistakes When you’re around, around It’s feels like life or death I’ll never catch my breath When you’re around, around I want to take you home I’ve got this weight that I can’t lift It’s chained to me; I’m stuck with it I take a breath so I can live It is the last I have to give It’s the time it takes For me to make mistakes When you’re around, around It’s feels like life or death I’ll never catch my breath When you’re around, around I want to take you home

We lived our lives running in slow motion All they ever saw was a silhouette We showed them all just how we feel They look at us and think we’re so surreal Well we’re not scared of what doesn’t makes sense No, it’s all just something new We live our lives ‘cause it’s all that we want to do We view the world how we want to see No one tells us how it’s got to be Live our lives running to the edge Do we jump or do we fall instead Well we’re not scared of what doesn’t makes sense No, it’s all just something new We live our lives ‘cause it’s all that we want to do Live up everyday Be the kind of person that you want to Savor every way You see all the world and not how they do Never take away Anything you have inside, that’s for you Never take away No, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, yeah-yeah-yeah

Mind Palace 03:40
City skyline With a view so clear The night reveals this place It shines so bright here And commotion is dimmer The night reveals this place I keep this place to myself It is just mine and mine only It’s all that’s keeping me sane It’s my only Place to be there for All the things that can’t wait I see the stars here They explode as they shimmer The night reveals this place I keep this place to myself It is just mine and mine only It’s all that’s keeping me sane I keep this place to myself It’s in my mind that I’ve held The night reveals this place This world I’ve made can’t be explained I get the chance, the chance to live again Space and time can mold like clay I get my chance, my chance to live again I keep this place to myself It is just mine and mine only It’s all that’s keeping me sane I keep this place to myself It’s in my mind that I’ve held The night reveals this place
