Sometimes Things Change

I know I say it a lot
I'm always down and out
I struggle to gain composure
Then I stumble around
Silence is deafening
Just like the loudest sound
Everything in my head piles up, it's
Nowhere to be found
I guess I'll say it
Can we forget it all
I just need another weekend
It's not enough to call it off
It's so close I know the feeling
Can we forget it all
I just need another weekend
It's not enough to call it off
It's so close I know
We sat on the porch
I played 'No Change In Me'
You say it's relatable
But not your cup of tea
Once in my bead again
Light trickles on the wall
I wanted to know this feeling
Not left with nothing at all
I guess I'll say it
Can we forget it all
I just need another weekend
It's not enough to call it off
It's so close I know the feeling
Can we forget it all
I just need another weekend
It's not enough to call it off
It's so close I know
Fortified mind, I know how you hate it
It's what happens when you're on display
I could just try and not be complacent
It's who I am at the end of the day
Fortified mind, I know how you hate it
(You build me up)
It's what happens when you're on display
(Then you pull me down)
I could just try and not be complacent
(In the back of my mind the voice says)
It's who I am at the end of the day
(To just get out)
It's what I asked for
(It's what I asked for)
And I'm trying
And I'm trying
And I'm trying
And I'm trying
(You broke off a piece of me)
And I'm trying
(To just get out, to just get out)
And I'm trying
(To just get out, to just get out)
And I'm trying
(To just get out, to just get out)
And I'm trying
(To just get out)
You broke off a piece of me
(I'll stick around)
You broke off a piece of me
(It's up and down)
You broke off a piece of me
(Just another moment)

Shorter days
It's that time of year again
I'm here
In my room and in suspense
Shorter days
It's that time of year again
I'm here
In my room and in suspense
It takes effect on me
It takes effect on me
It takes effect on me
It takes effect on me
It takes effect on me
It takes effect on me
It takes effect on me
It takes effect on me

Montreal won't fill the void
Of what you were in high school
Is that what you tried to avoid
Adolescent intersession
A college dropout with no ambition
To top it off
You're always annoyed
Break down
The soil in my hands
And rave about
The boy who never wins
Break down
The soil in my hands
And rave about
The boy who never wins
I was the bastard kid of CBS
Smoking weed behind the church and failing school like all the rest
Carpe diem
False sense of freedom
Spend my summer days daydreaming
I'm a sheep
And that's a fact
Break down
The soil in my hands
And rave about
The boy who never wins
Break down
The soil in my hands
And rave about
The boy who never wins
So scream my name
And scream it loud
Cause I want to wake up everybody in this town
And when you pray
Or smoke that loud
I want to feel higher off this ground
So scream my name
And scream it loud
Cause I want to wake up everybody in this town
So when you pray
Or smoke that loud
I want to feel higher off this ground

Pursuit Of Happiness

We're victims of circumstance
But it turned out for the best
We're doing fine
The worst part about telling someone you love them
Is that it means less every time
It's hard to see who's done you wrong
When you've been distracted for so long
Not a single moment to yourself
To realize that you're in hell
We found ourselves in all of this
Unexpectedly, but ignorance is bliss
Sometimes even the greatest minds
Can't foresee a situation of this severity
The month of April's only 30 days
I never planned on spending it this way
I'll wind up sobbing on your chest again
An open wound left from that place I'd been
A better headspace and a better friend
I really can't go back when this all ends
I never wanted to make enemies
But here we are
But when I look back at that face
I know we're better off this way
There's no comfort in telling lies
And I don't need to be chastised
For my pursuit of happiness
Or a distain for my amends
The writing is on the wall
I never asked for this at all
I never asked for this
(I never asked for this)
There's no need to exact revenge
I won't follow you back again
I'm happy with where I am
But now I'm crying again
There's no need to exact revenge
I won't follow you back again
I'm happy with where I am
But now I'm crying again

I find it hard to communicate this feeling
(If it stems from some type of)
Some type of existential dread
(Responsibilities)
Just a lifestyle
A cliche
(a denial)
About how I want to go back to that
To breathe that sticky air
To feel the breeze upon my skin
(Out of breath and full of it)
Just wondering about something
I feel confined
By the chains around my wrists
It drags me under
I never wanted all of this
I feel confined
By the chains around my wrists
It makes me wonder
I never wanted all of this
It's just something
It's just something
(That I question)
Once I'm alone
In my car
Driving home
By myself again
It's not that hard
To pick up my phone
It's my favourite part
Being alone again
It's crazy how
Something can bring you back
To that
To a different time
Different parts and different strides
Feel my foot touch that ground
Something that didn't mean a thing to me
Now it's the missing link
While I think back to now
Like I do to them
I won't find out
Need to take a step and fall into the deep end

I'm just too old to try it
Might be a little nervous
I walked out of the room
Just to think about it
I need a moment
Something here
Thinking of some
Old regret
I need a moment
Something here
Thinking of some
Old regret
I fell too hard this week
(this week)
Pulling my friends off the pavement
(off the pavement)
Thankfully wondering where I'll sleep
(where I'll sleep)
It's just the little things
I need a moment
Something here
Thinking of some
Old regret
Grasping for the
Next page
I haven't finished
The last
I need a moment
To ground myself right here
'Cause it just feels like
We only started last year
It won't slow down
It won't just stop
It's not the book
It's arms on clocks
I need a moment
Just something right here

My nose is clean
What's up in yours?
Know what I mean
Skeletons behind closed doors
You've got a problem
Or so it seems
I cannot solve them
This undesirable misery
It takes time to heal
It takes time
Just that every single one of you is always trying to bring me down
I can never stand whenever you are around
Just that every single one of you is always trying to bring me down
I can never stand whenever you are around
It was the first time
In a long time
I thought about how you had barely made it out alive
It makes me sick with all the questions
All that shit that makes you tick
No need to beg to quit
I know you have no part in it
So let's stop it
Yeah let's stop it
It takes time to heal
It takes time
Now I don't get his calls
The world never felt so small
Now I don't get his calls
The world never felt so small
Now I don't get his calls
The world never felt so small
Now I don't get his calls
The world never felt so small
Now I don't get his calls
The world never felt so small
Now I don't get his calls
The world never felt so small

This small town is perfect for me
I never wanna leave
But it just seems like everyone I care about is out to get me
They've all been swallowed up by
Dreams and ambitions
All that fine big city living
in the land of opportunity
My world is falling apart
(The city's dying and there's no use in trying)
To convince everyone to stop breaking my heart
(It'll never change and that's something I can't face on my own)
So pack up your things
Move out to Montreal
I'll change my tune if you can make it past this fall
Time doesn't fare well for the ill informed
(Be careful what you wish for you never know)
Who you can trust and where it's safe to go
(You'll be swimming back home before first snow)
What the fuck did we do wrong
There's an exodus we can't prevent
It's hard to listen to old songs
When all my favourite bands are dead
And I will travel all I want
The world's a fascinating place
But I'll never leave this land I love
And fall for another far away
I'll never love another
I'll never love another
I'll never love another
I'll never love another
