Let’s hide!
It’s going down
Building pressure, voices around
This fear
I’d rather drown
This barren place is far from my friends
I tried
To settle in
With trehalose I’ll cover my skin
But no
This open space
Is closing in, nowhere to escape now
Cuz I worry bout all this everyday yeah
Just a tun left at the mercy of it all
I’m so Tardigraded
I’m retracting to a state of
Letting no one in
Nothing gives me something to depend on
I have Tardigraded yeah
And every single day is
Crawling on and on
Life goes on an on
And on
Inside
There’s nothing now
Tongue tied with no way out
Been fried
And frozen down
So many times that I’ve lost count
Alive
But razor thin
My two eyes are growing dim
So please
Just make your move
A drop of you sore dake hoshii yeah
Cuz I think about all this everyday yeah
But I sit here waiting like a puppet on a string
No sudden moves
Got nothing to prove
Fossilize in to stone in front of you
Just to hear you say
I’m so Tardigraded
I’m retracting to a state of
Letting no one in
Nothing gives me something to depend on
I have Tardigraded yeah
And every single day is
Crawling on and on
Life goes on an on
Going on and on
And on
I
I can’t forget to say
What’s on my mind
But I still can’t seem to find the words
I’m so tardigraded
Won’t you save me from this state of
Letting no one in?
Something’s got to give!
Tardigraded but you might be my oasis
Dehydrated from this lack of conversation
Extricated, from lovestruck desiccation
We’ll be floating on
Life goes on and on, and on

Verse 1
Back at it, me and a can again
Nine to five, haunting me like a revenant
Trapped here, got to get outta my head
Another shot ‘til I drop into my bed
Glass ready, just like you’re all here
Every headache takes me back to another year
I can’t take this
So I’m gone. Gone is what I have to be
So long. Tomorrow is a tragedy
Verse 2
Bad habits, demons and skeletons
‘nother night where I’m thinking I’ll let em in
Draft beer, put a hammer in my hand
Throw em back like a nail in the coffin
House parties, smile at the thought and
*I’m* thinking back to the chuhais at 2am
I can’t taste these anymore
Pre-Chorus 1
Cuz I’m such a fucking alien
Trapped inside this human skin
Arms around the porcelain
Just trying not to fall in
Chorus 2
Gone. Gone is what I have to be
So long. Tomorrow is a tragedy
I’m gone!
Breakdown
So gone!
Fuck!
So long!
Bridge 1
Do you ever notice when you’re drunk
That it all comes out at once
All the feelings bottled up
And it starts with
Something different, one by one
Another day is done so
Are you gonna change?
Outro
So I’m gone, someone set me free
Help me in the morning little orange remedy
Where’re my friends? Damn what time is it?
I feel so sorry, sorry for myself
Had to grow up like everybody else
Man, I can’t stop whining!

Verse 1
Was it
Just like they said? Was I your pet?
Left at the whim
Of demons that you fed
Red hungry eyes they play pretend
While all the waves are pulling m under
Pre-Chorus 1
No I won’t follow you until the end of time
But I want you to know
Chorus 1A
I was all in
Now I can't seem to follow your games
You're playing with my head
I've had
Enough of all you’ve thrown away
But you keep hanging like a thread
Chorus 1B
Take a chance on me
Forget about the world she said
So drowned in apathy
I'm swimming in this tank you always keep me in
Verse 2
I feel so drained
While you just wait, I dig this grave
With things I say
On stage without the fame
But do you see
That I’m afraid
What you might find within another?
Pre-Chorus 2
No I won’t follow you until the end of time
But I want you to know
Chorus 2A
I was all in
Now I can't seem to follow your games
You're playing with my head
I've had
Enough of all you’ve thrown away
But you keep hanging like a thread
Chorus 2B
Take a chance on me
Forget about the world she said
So drowned in apathy
I'm swimming in this tank you always keep me in
Buildup verse
Was it
Just like they said? Was I your pet?
Left at the whim
Of demons that I fed
Before I forget
I’ll make my way
A parting ship without a rudder
Buildup pre-chorus
No I won’t follow you until the end of time
Cuz nothing that we say holds reason or a rhyme
The sun has set on any day I would have tried
But I want you to know!!
I wanted you to know!!

It took a turn at 5pm, I wanted so bad for you to come home
Laying back and remembering how we danced and we laughed and we let it all go
And I can see it all so damn clear like it was yesterday
As I’m sitting on the floor all by myself
No please don't tell me the same old story
About how everything works out
None of your guidance is reassuring
Cuz I know that you’re right
Dev: I look outside, the leaves are falling
Teej: Summers gone, and I’m left stalling
Dev: How'd it pass so fast? I'm wondering
Teej: Was it all a dream or something?
Dev: Did you have to be so honest?
Teej: Has it been this long since August?
Dev: And all the things I gave up for this
Teej: I’ll stay inside and just ignore them all
To you, I’m turning into this again
A jealous stray that you won’t let in
Outside, I’ll burn another day undone
Spin around in circles til I find someone
To the world, get up and put the lights all on
Been in bed for far too long
Call me what you will
Call me what you will
No please don't tell me the same old story
About how everything works out
None of your guidance is reassuring
Cuz I know that you’re right
Dev: I look outside, the leaves are falling
Teej: Summers gone, and I’m left stalling
Dev: How'd it pass so fast? I'm wondering
Teej: Was it all a dream or something?
Dev: Did you have to be so honest?
Teej: Has it been this long since August?
Dev: All the things I gave up for this
Teej: I’ll stay inside and just ignore them all
Yeah just ignore them all!
(x2)
You take it from within
And feed it to the wolves
My superficial skin
You’re beautiful and gold
Taken for a night and then
Stayed here for a day too long
Give up for us and them
Give up on what you found
Feeling like a slight of hand
Turned back and saw nothing wrong
Is it time for what they say?

On The Fence

Spent time on the ledge
Just losing my grip
Without you I’m falling, with you I’m falling
Let’s fight and move ahead
Like we did back then
With you my darling, without you my darling
Yeah you lay awake
Through all my mistakes
Without you I’m sleepless, (but) with you I’m dreamless
You know I can’t stay
This town is a grave
With you I’m leaving, without you I’m breathing
Embers of yesterday
Words were falling like the rain
We put it on the shelf
Oh, earnest I’ll take my fate
All is fair in what we say
I left her cryin’
Oh I’m on the fence with the feeling again
To step back and see that something is wrong here
I followed you down to the start of an end
And now there’s no way back out
And after all that we wanted for
Without you I’m falling, with you I’m falling
Yeah is this all that you bargained for?
With you my darling, without you my darling
Embers of yesterday
Words were falling like the rain
I’m on the fence with the feeling again
To step back and see that something is wrong here
I followed you down to the start of an end
And now there’s no way back out
I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’ into pieces
I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’, I’m all in
