Better Now 03:40

Wide awake, acting like we're sleeping Early hours, when the thoughs'll creep in Your voice changed when you said you're excited for me We've seen a lot, sorted through a fair share Released our thoughts in the heavy August air I'm at a loss this time, won't you help me come back? 'Cause I hit a wall and can't break through It's only now I see the weight I put on you Tearful nights all alone and together All I can say is I know myself better now Say you're fine, but I know there's something Am I the one you're really trying to convince? On the run from our hearts, though it hurts to admit We've come a long way from hiding our feelings And this block can only stop the healing I think it's time to examine the way we've been 'Cause I hit a wall and can't break through It's only now I see the weight I put on you Tearful nights all alone and together All I can say is I know myself better now I'm in love with the world around me But I'm starting to see that my world won't always hold space for you I hit a wall and can't break through Now I see I'm not beholden to you You and I hit a wall we couldn't break through It's only now you feel the weight you put on me, too Tearful nights all alone and together All I can say is I know myself better now

She Sparks 03:16
lyrics

In my dreams, I'm swimming in her imagined past In a fever, and I'm falling off with demons on my back Unsure where to go, can't see where I've been But a new star has been guiding me along Blinded by the pain in me, it sparks Bold enough to set it free, she sparks They're living rent-free in my head again The tales uncertainty will weave I cannot tell if I'm in an arms race with myself Or my own mind is just stringing me along Blinded by the pain in me, it sparks Bold enough to set it free, she sparks I know I can't come back on my own It's not a fair fight they're waging war I swear if I make it out, the favour I'll return Blinded by the pain in me, it sparks Bold enough to set it free, she sparks

Spirit 05:28

How the stars can shine this time of year When spiral arms conspire to make it clear We're subjects in this never-ending sphere We may be alone, and that's alright Clearer skies can't whisk away the dread Gusts will surely serve to smooth the edges The secrets on a disappearing thread We may not know, but that's alright I feel lost in this galaxy A mote of dust in a sunbeam Never an answer we were hoping to see But we're gunna get there Spirit's not broken yet And I won't go wasting this chance I get Spirit - I'm on the mend I took a moment, but it's my time again Auroras in the night help me to see Some seasons are for resting in the eddies Celestial motion shifts trajectories And it's okay to take your time I feel lost in this gravity A mote of dust in a sunbeam Never an answer we were hoping to see But we're gunna get there Spirit's not broken yet And I won't go wasting this chance I get Spirit - I'm on the mend I took a moment, but it's my time again I feel at home in the mystery of it all A part of the one still searching Holds the answer that we've been waiting on A part of the tone Spirit's not broken yet And I won't go wasting this chance I get Spirit - I'm on the mend I took a moment, but it's my time again Spirit's not broken yet And I won't go wasting this chance I get Spirit - I'm on the mend I took a moment, but it's my time again (I feel at home in the mystery of it all A part of the one still searching Holds the answer that we've been waiting on A part of the tone)

I can't even begin to thank you, though I'll always try Times you've been there, looking over my shoulder when I didn't realize Thanks for being everything I needed in my life, my dear Thanks for being wonderful and true I hardly knew you, but I felt your presence guiding from afar Makes me wonder, across time and space how far we really are Thanks for being everything I needed in my life, my dear Thanks for being wonderful and true Cheers to the days we spent, and nights we wept alone in bed Here's to the unapologetic you I wanna know where have you been, what have you done? I still hear your voice like murmurs in the mist Do you wonder who I've been what I've become? Let's spin a yarn and disregard the rest I wanna know where have you been, what have you done? I still hear your voice like murmurs in the mist Do you wonder who I've been what I've become? Let's spin a yarn and disregard the rest Thanks for being everything I needed in my life, my dear Thanks for being wonderful and true Cheers to the days we spent, and nights we wept alone in bed Here's to the unapologetic you
