I'll Never Quit

I'll never quit below of it it's got it's grips all over me,
I'll never leave deep inside of me I know that it might never leave,
I'll never stop won't get on top of what I want or needs to be
More years in store of feeling sore and taking things I shouldn't take,
Versions of me you'll always see and they'll be changing so constantly
There's no place that I can go, that will keep my mind afloat,
There's noone that I will meet that will make me feel like, make me feel like, make me feel like
I'll never mind won't lose the time that I spent otherwise feeling fine,
I'll never lose this will to choose and I will never gain back the time
I'll never quit, I'll never quit, I'll never quit, I'll never quit, I'll never quit

Screens

I live my life in front of a screen,
And it's tricked me into feeling serene,
I could go outside instead of not being seen,
It seems there's nothing else that I could do with my time,
I've got this feeling it's definitely hurting my mind,
Sometimes I feel so anxious when there's people around,
'Cause I've spent my life observing pixels and sound,
There's nothing else I could say except I want it to change,
Except I know that it won't so I'll just probably hang,
And I can get off the moment that I trigger my brain,
In front of something designed to clearly stimulate,
I've made a public persona off pictures of my face,
And reading everyone's posts it only fills me with hate,
It's like we think we're celebrities when we're a disgrace,
To the old fashioned ways of meeting up at a place,
And, you know, actually seeing the other persons,
Instead of talking online and making plans that you'll flake,
'Cause you know we're all loners and we're trapped in our house,
Making everything dull so we'll refuse to go out,
I know it sounds kind of mean but I just say what I've seen,
And all the things that I've seen have been in front of a screen

Absent Mind

I don't see the sun sometimes, but that's alright, got an absent mind
If I held you near me, honey, would you fear me?
I don't see the moon sometimes, but when it's bright it's the afterlife
'Cause I see you waiting, and I have the patience
It feels like I'm just waiting all the time, and I know that this is all a state of mind.
I don't know if you've been watching me when I become out of touch,
It's a nightmare, darling, can it seem I'm falling out?
Happy people I observe only make me feel like I've never learned,
how to be a person who can see it's worth it
Can you see the color in the sky? I can see the darkness in your eyes

Meet Me Underground

There's a place where I can go when you're not here, and it's all my fault, all my fault
There's a place where we go, and I am not afraid, Not afraid
There's a place we can go when things go wrong, and we'll feel so free, feel so free,
Everyone is waiting for us, deep beneath the sun, everyone
(guitar solo)
There's a place I found deep in the ground, and it's snug and it's sound, and it will make you proud now,
There's this place you'll go if you are not afraid, not afraid
Meet Me Underground, Meet me underground,
It's like I just said right now, we'll float towards the clouds, let's forget our pals, who needs them anyhow

Places To Hide
02:47

Your face disguised as all my open dreams,
No truths not lies, it isn't as it seems,
Your face, your eyes
Your fault, my rise
I try to stay as normal as can be, You're best for me Anastasia Louise
Perfect for me, I hope you'll see
It's hard to know you're several states away, I know I'll go, and you'll be far away
Make love outside just beneath the sun, Places to hide
I'm just like you, I need a lot of help,
Not much to do, just keeping by myself,
I need to find somewhere I can stay,
Places to hide

Around

It's been a long time since you've been around, It's been a long time since you've stayed
It's been a long time since you've been around.
It's been a long time since you've been around,
It's been a long time since you've been around,
It's been a long time since you've let me know, It's been a long time since I've known,
Since then I'm having trouble trying to grow,
Don't think I've ever really grown
It's been a long time since you've been around ,
It's been a long time since you've been around,
It's been a long time since you've been around,
been around, been around

Oh oh oh oh oh I'll make you'll feel alive,
We'll pass through time you'll be all mine it'll blow your mind
Oh oh oh oh oh I'm telling you a lie, it's my disguise, it's my reprise, it's my device
and I'll never be there when you're gone, and I'll never be there when you're gone
Woah oh oh oh oh it's coming on so fast, I'll kick your ass, you'll be in last, you'll feel harrassed,
Woah oh oh oh oh you'll face is turning red, you'll slowly shed, you'll wet the bed, you'll wind up dead
and I'm losing my heart every day, Yes I'm losing my heart everyday
Tell a lie and go out, make me feel proud of myself, You know i'm wearing clouds, and I will sing out loud, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh I'll make you'll feel alive,
We'll pass through time you'll be all mine it'll blow your mind
Oh oh oh oh oh I'm telling you a lie, it's my disguise, it's my reprise, it's my device
and i'm losing my heart, and I'm losing my heart every day
and i'm losing my heart everyday
