I see my phone on the table with the little red light on It’s been blinking at me through the corner of my eye all day long I know it’s been ringing I ain’t been picking up the calls Because I got demons in my head A dragon in my heart A lioness in my bed And they’re tearing me apart I don’t know what you were hoping for When you said that I could be the guy You were looking for I’m just as scared as everyone else is I ain’t better special or nothing You best believe my life was a mess then Wasting time Falling over Stressing Tripping Bearly sober I guarantee I still have my moments When giving up is bliss Don’t let them fool you I see my phone on the table with the little red light on It’s been blinking at me through the corner of my eye all day long I know it’s been ringing I ain’t been picking up the calls Because I got demons in my head A dragon in my heart A lioness in my bed And they’re tearing me apart I don’t know what you were hoping for When you said that I might be the guy You were looking for I don’t know what you were hoping for When you said that I could be the guy You were looking for I’m just as scared as everyone else is I ain’t better special or nothing You best believe my life was a mess then I guarantee I still have my moments When giving up is bliss

Warm Fuzzy Feeling 03:42
lyrics

Soft and warm Like the sunshine Fuzzy like the hair on your head I love This feeling of freedom And knowing that the best is still to come For us Some good things end too soon Don’t ask me why they do I just know it What am I to do With the feeling you give to me if not show it? Nice to meet you Miles away my heart’s still glowing It’s so into you Whatever I do I can’t ignore it I left You stayed We went our separate ways Still think about you like every day You gave me something I can’t replace I’m done denying I feel this way I’m done with all the lies Coming out of hiding The feeling’s way too strong I held it in too long It finally made it out though The damn’s broken Like Agung I’m boiling over And when I’m not around I’ve got angels watching over you I know I left too soon Before we hit the rough waters We both had things to do We got tangled and avoidant I’ve got to face the truth It was months ago And my heart’s still glowing It’s still into you Like a wave lost in the ocean I left You stayed We went our separate ways Still think about you like every day You gave me something I can’t replace I’m done denying I feel this way I’m done with all the lies Coming out of hiding The feeling’s way too strong I held it in too long It finally made it out though The damn’s broken Like Agung I’m boiling over And when I’m not around I’ve got angels watching over you I left You stayed We went our separate ways Still think about you like every day You gave me something I can’t replace I’m done denying I feel this way

Too Free For My Own Good 03:14
lyrics

Like it or not We just can’t be Everywhere at once So maybe Just be here now Spend time with me Take it as it comes And then we’ll see You say you want more But what for? That’s my question is You say I’m too free for my own good And that’s what my problem is When is enough enough? I just can’t say How far have we come If not all the way? I won’t give up You needn’t tempt me I won’t give in No you won’t get me You say you want more But what for? That’s my question is You say I’m too free for my own good And that’s what my problem is You say you want more But what for? That’s my question is You say I’m too free for my own good And that’s what my problem is

Who are you to tell me What I can or can’t do? Why want to restrain me? I don’t understand you What you trying tell me? Your message didn’t come through? It don’t entertain me Not even when you try to It don’t make no sense to Go in that direction The facts you’re trying to bend Won’t withstand the pressure No (Know) No (Know) No (Know) You know it all Love is what you you’re meant for You know Say it now Say it out loud Say it now Say it out loud Tell me what I can and I can’t do Tell me what’s good and what’s not cool Shout let it out That could change you Ain’t nothing that can’t happen If you change you Yeah get wild let them see you Take that heart into plain view Let them tear apart Entertain you Hit it from the heart That will change you It don’t make no sense to Go in that direction The facts you’re trying to bend Won’t withstand the pressure No (Know) No (Know) No (Know) You know it all Love is what you you’re meant for You know Say it now Say it out loud Say it now Say it out loud

Un Fold 04:57
lyrics

[Sample // Sam] You’re realising that you don’t have to build anything to… you know to be happy. And.. and.. For probably much of life there has been this thing of “I need to do X Y and Z to be happy” and you’re like “well that’s bullshit so… here I am”. Right? And I get that. I do. And this is kind of a space where it’s like “OK. Well, I don’t have to do anything specifically to be happy. There is much to be enjoyed without doing anything” which means that you truly can just go engage with the world and to go do things and create things, knowing that your happiness doesn’t depend on it. Which means you’re acting with more freedom than probably 99.9% of the population. And so, this all leads me to believe that there are creative opportunities for expression that you haven’t necessarily engaged with yet, because of whatever [beliefs] your formative years have taught you. And now it’s time to go and see if those are true. Because if you’re already in this place of “I’m happy no matter what, or I can be” cool, now go create something, go build something, go do something. Because why not? What else are you going to do with your time? You’re just going to sit around all the time? Maybe. Maybe. Or maybe not. Maybe there is something you can create knowing that your happiness doesn’t reside in it. Unfold Unfold The spiral just gets bigger Tears begin to flow Unfold Unfold Tell my friends I love them Please make sure they know Unfold Unfold Unfold Unfold Unfold Tell my parents I forgive them They did their best I know Unfold Unfold Here beneath the stars Out here on my own Acting like I’m noone And nobody knows I close my eyes and listen The rhythm of my breathing Something I’ve been missing Eternal quest for meaning God, you know I’ve missed you I swear I meant to call You know I can’t resist you I had to watch it all Unfold Unfold Unfold Unfold Everything I always wanted is here Here to watch the show Unfold Unfold Unfold Unfold Unfold
