I want to curl into a ball and pretend the world is ending -
Call off what tomorrow might bring.
The ladder's getting hard to climb.
What matters when the world keeps passing by?
Just give me a reason to keep on trying.
(Instrumental)
Whatever happened to dreaming that you could do anything?
'Cause now you're 22 and working through
The third phase of your backup to your backup plan
And you're inside -
You're inside a cage of your own,
Your own making.
And whatever happened to believing that you could do anything?
'Cause now you're 34 and waiting for
Your big break or a quick way, yeah a quick way out.
And your fate -
Yeah, your destiny,
They're calling your name.
(Instrumental)
You can't wish your fate away now.
You can't wish away.
You can't wish your fate away now.
You can't wish away.
(Outro)

Like They Used to

I was walking through Tinseltown,
And when I started to look around
I saw a bunch of actors sitting down on an empty set.
They said, "It isn't finished yet -
It'll look just like the moon!"
Aw they don't make them like they used to.
And I was looking at some photographs
And when the author came to pass,
I asked her how she did that?
She said, "It's easy dude,
Just gotta put a filter through - make it look all vintage, too."
Aw they don't make them like they used to.
(Chorus)
This is the start of the century.
C'est la vie, c'est la vie.
Doing more with less humanity.
Can it be, oh can it be?
And I was sitting with a few old friends,
But not a single word was said.
They were checking their phones instead
For what the starlets do,
Up-to-the-minute points of view
Sent in real time just for you.
Aw they don't make them like they used to.
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
This is the start of the century.
C'est la vie, c'est la vie.
Doing more with less humanity.
Can it be, oh can it be?
And all the people can't fall in love.
They just know how to push and shove
Just enough to get ahead
And overworking 'til they're dead.
And when their time is through,
They'll only sing the blues.
Aw they don't make them like they used to.

Closure

How's that east coast treating ya?
'Cause this west one's worn me thin.
I've been thinking about leaving California
Just like you did.
But I'd never dare follow,
No I'd never dare follow you to
New York City,
At least on account of you
'Cause I've got dreams of my own
That I'm chasing, too.
(Chorus)
I'm no longer holding on for closure.
I'm no longer holding onto every made excuse
'Cause I'm starting over
And it's time that I stopped chasing you.
(Instrumental)
I made it to your pages,
And I know your name graced mine,
But those notes we wrote are stories told
Of another time.
But I'd never dare hold on.
Oh, how the years go by.
(Chorus)
I'm no longer holding on for closure.
I'm no longer holding onto every made excuse
'Cause I'm starting over
And it's time that I stopped chasing you.

Waves ft. Wilfrid
03:20

We got lost amid gods,
Foreign eyes and foreign hearts.
My demise is what I want
By the night and by the broad
Daylight, we ain't hide,
But light each other on fire,
Intoxicated by the toxic name
Of mine and yours.
You took me by the hand,
But I prefer the leash.
We heard our favorite band
When we were by the beach,
Callin this as our song
'Cause that's just what we need.
All the beauty in greed,
All the beauty in greed.
(Chorus)
Maybe today,
Maybe tomorrow?
Maybe I'll feel like you love me
Or love me not.
Or maybe it's me?
Maybe it's my- ?
Maybe it's in my mind
That your affection comes in waves,
Ebbin', flowin' as they roll.
(Instrumental)
She said, "Don't leave me."
I said, "Not long before you see me
Again," and then while packing up proceeded
To organize receipts and show her my deceit with,
"This is you much you owe me."
I know you think you know me,
But I've got shit to say
Like how you're just a homie
And how you're slowing me down,
I mean you're really boring.
Unless you want to show me how much I mean to you,
You'll have to blow me away,
And I don't mean just blow me.
(Chorus)
Maybe today,
Maybe tomorrow?
Maybe I'll feel like you love me
Or love me not.
Or maybe it's me?
Maybe it's my- ?
Maybe it's in my mind
That your affection comes in waves,
Ebbin', flowin' as they roll.

Hateful Faithful

Temper, temper your expectations
'Cause I ain't no patron saint,
Or so I've been told.
I'll "indulge your dark side, get inside your mind,"
And I-I-I, I'll show you the world.
(Chorus)
'Cause hateful faithful torment
Those who they are not,
And hateful faithful forget
That even the Devil has seen the face of God.
Savior, save your last confessions
For the end of the world.
Tell them what you've done,
'Cause even though you know how to speak in tongues,
Your serpentine lines, they never saved no one.
(Chorus)
'Cause hateful faithful torment
Those who they are not,
And hateful faithful forget
That even the Devil has seen the face of God.
(Instrumental)
Temper, temper your expectations
'Cause I ain't no patron saint,
That's what I've been told.
I'll indulge your dark side, open up your mind,
And I-I-I, I'll show you the world.
(Chorus)
'Cause hateful faithful torment
Those who they are not,
And hateful faithful forget
That even the Devil has seen the face of God.
