Come Home 03:01
LYRICS: Came out west where we’re from. Did our best, now I feel dumb. I don’t want to hear your fucking speech, it’s been a rough few years and now I just need sleep. And if I said I’m not exactly who I want to be, would you just tell me to be practical (Tell me to be) I don’t want to blow your mind, but you’ve been wrong so many times. Now I know you don’t know (Tell me to be) I’m defeated. I’m in a mood, my insufferable pubescent attitude. I don’t want to hear how you made it this far. How can I listen when I don’t even know who you are? And if I said I’m not exactly who I want to be, would you just tell me to be practical (Tell me to be) I don’t want to blow your mind, but you’ve been wrong so many times. Now I know you don’t know (Tell me to be)

LYRICS: Boy, you’re gonna fight yourself into an early grave. One day you’re here and the next you’ve gone away. Did you go on or did they retrieve you? Say you’re innocent, they may believe you. Your parents are here but they don’t want to see you. Boy, you’re gonna fight yourself into an early grave. Tell me you’re not angry, tell me you’re just afraid. Life is long until it’s not. Life is hard until it stops. But nothing tastes as good as freedom feels. There’s no love lost between us, only blood.

Emerald Bay 02:46
The funny thing about me and you is we got the same cracks and we got the same glue. But we’ve been healing and I think we might be okay. I was afraid of how long it could take us. This weight on our shoulders, I know it could break us. But I believe we can carry it on for today. And we’ll get to know each other - the past you can’t escape reminds me of my mother. And we’ll comfort one another - the pain behind your eyes reminds me of my brother. Do you believe that I’m broken like you? If there’s trust in my blood is there something else too? If you can see who I am then you know what’s in store. But now I’m here and I’m laying here knowing I’ve got decades long cuts and my insides are showing. It’s just a scratch, it’s not something that we can’t ignore. And we’ll get to know each other - the pain behind your eyes reminds me of my mother. And we’ll comfort one another - the past you can’t escape reminds me of my mother. I listened to what she had to say, then I threw myself into Emerald Bay.

I'm Fine 03:01
I’m spending a lot of time alone again. Wasting energy, growing apathy. Watched the sun set for the hundred thousandth time. That’s a lot of time. But I’m fine. Feeling anxious because I haven’t left the house today. Malnutrition and a toothache that won’t go away. We’ve been here before, hope you know that I have nothing left in store. It will defeat us, but nothing will come between us. Because I’m fine. I hope that I’ll be moving on soon to get back to the grind. To stay out of my mind. I’ll settle for one comfortable day I don’t feel dead inside. Oh I try. Feeling nauseous and it’s only half the hangover. I keep drinking so tomorrow seem

I hope you’re good. How’s the old neighborhood? I’m visiting, I’ll see you soon. We’ve had some weather. I’m feeling better. I’ll be your fall man, I’ll take it all, man. If you can please listen now. What’s eating you whole is what’s eating us all. I’m trying to protect you but the whole world’s out to get you. It’s too much too ignore, so just walk out the door. There are no consequences anymore. I hope you’re fine, don’t know what’s on your mind. We’ll talk about it soon, I swear. But not right now. Are we falling out? I’ll be your straw man, follow your law, man. And If you can please listen now. What’s eating you whole is what’s eating us all. I’m trying to protect you but the whole world’s out to get you. It’s too much too ignore, so just walk out the door. There are no consequences anymore. You know that was out of line, I know you hate what’s on your mind. And I don’t know how to talk to you and I think that’s just fine. I wish you well.
