F, Gm, Bbm
i said i wanted to change
but i never really wanted to change
I had some intentions
but those intentions were disguised as undercover indiscretions
We were breathing the same
that was before you shaved your lion’s mane
I’m going to bed
I’ve had enough of feeling free, forget everything that I’ve said
Gm, C, F, Bbm
I only came out tonight
So that I wouldn’t feel left out
I only came out tonight
So that I wouldn’t feel left out
Gm, Bbm, Eb, C
It’s embarrassing to open your arms
til your smile reads your speech
and you know it by heart
Gm, C, F, Bbm
I only came out tonight
So that I wouldn’t feel left out
F, Gm, Bbm
are you leaving again
with that sac of everything that's left to your name
We can stand in the crowd
Not really understanding what our living is about
While a panel discusses
fleshing out extensive lists of the many repercussions
We’ll be tapping out of time
One breath after the next until we leave the world behind
I had a solution
But it was stolen
Leaving would be easy if the time stopped going
Gm, C, F, Bbm
I only came out tonight
So that I wouldn’t feel left out
I only came out tonight
So that I wouldn’t feel left out
Gm, Bbm, Eb, C
I spread the vaseline all over my mouth
So the cracks on my lips
Don’t bleed when I shout
Gm, C, F, Bbm
I only came out tonight
So that I wouldn’t feel left out

Folding
06:12

I went to bed
I was getting tired with all the thinking going on inside
of my head
But I couldn’t sleep
Lying, envisioning all of the things that I couldn’t do
and I couldn’t say
and expectations I couldn’t meet
I’m breathing loud
Clothes on the ground
I’m breathing loud
Clothes on the ground
The window is open
And the breeze on my skin is the only reminder
That time can fold
And the best is behind us
But that doesn’t mean we have to give in
Splash some water on your face
Take a look in the mirror
Those wrinkles are now gonna last forever
They’re making you stronger
And life just needs a little bit of space
I’m breathing loud
A wall of sound
I’m breathing loud
Clothes on the ground
I’m ringing out
I’m falling down
I’m ringing out
I’m falling, I’m falling
I’m ringing out
I’m falling down
I’m ringing out (I don’t wanna be)
I’m ringing out (I don’t wanna be scared anymore)

Naked in Toronto

I had a winterlong daydream
Of the summertime smokescreen
Coming home from work to find
My roommates and my friends
all of them sitting in the backyard
We’d grab a drink and then we’d start
craving and crashing to
Our summertime songs
And then you would suggest we’d move to the park
Then we’d dance our way through
But summer came and I woke up
And reality sang it’s song into our ears so loud now
My eardrums are ringing
The waiter is bringing the autumn leaves
To our table
I wish I was able to say
All I really want is summer to stay
I hate my life
I hate my life
I hate my life
I hate my life
I hate (my life)
I hate (my life)
I hate my life
I hate my life
I’m trying my best
I’m trying my best
But it seems like it’s not working out
I swear
I’m trying my best
I live in the west
Boy, I like how the sun sets
And I don’t want any of my friends to die
Also
I’m scared of my own death
I think life is a test
I think existence is an overnight guest
But it seems I’ve got performance anxiety
I swear
I’m trying my best
I’m trying my best
I’m trying my best
But it seems like it’s not working out
I swear
I’m trying my best
I hate my life
I hate my life
I hate my life
I hate my life
I hate (my life)
I hate (my life)
I hate my life
I hate my life

Goodbye

im already sold
falling the fall then collecting my patience
my gin and my tonic perched up on the terrace
feet glued to the ball that we ended on top of
wallets and bones
the pressures of passion
we’re eating our own
and we’re stuck in the passenger
seat while the car is in free fall
a vehicle rollover
not much to do except panic
this morning I moaned
as I woke up my pigeons
we gathered our omens
we wanted to sing
so we did it was warm
then we handed our pleas to the preacher just in time for the audit
i’m writing in bold
and i can’t help but wonder
why sometimes i forget
the spell that i’m under
leaves are so vivid
the sparkling water
called peace to my heart but no answer
