Think back to the night we had Stereotypical undergrads Some guy was off his head And you thought you were dead At least I had the decency To get out of your way and let you be It could have hurt you It could have hurt me too (You’re trying to breathe but I think you’re in a vacuum and there’s no way out but patience I realize now that I probably shouldn’t have dragged you Into this fucking mess) Facedown on the floor Ripping out my hair Dreaming of a door Stoned and unaware There must be a better phrase Than saying “it’ll be okay” That’ll kick me out of this daze Or will I be stuck for days And in the back your muffled voice is begging for the hospital But I’m stuck in bed Let’s ride this out instead Go tell my family goodbye I won’t reach A&E in time Your twisted world can’t save me now I’m rotting in this fucking lounge Facedown on the floor Ripping out my hair Dreaming of a door Stoned and unaware Facedown on the floor (Go tell my family goodbye) Ripping out my hair (I won’t reach A&E in time) Dreaming of a door (Your twisted world can’t save me now) Stoned and unaware (I’m rotting in this fucking lounge)

Weather Song 02:29
Tom is saying I need an umbrella On the weather channel, on the TV In my bedroom, in my parents’ house And it’s raining outside but I know

Farewell my friends, I’m sick of mingling I’ll walk back home under the drizzle and Tell myself it’s ‘cause I don’t wanna get To 3AM and be alone again Truth is that I miss you more than I can handle I want you out of my head It’s likely I would call you if I could Lucky that my phone’s dead I want you out of my head You’re so talkative now that I’m over it The heart you’d pocketed has nothing left to give Don’t think of coming on down now Let’s just try to move on I want to believe you’re smiling Through this radio silence

Burnout 03:13
I wouldn’t usually settle for mediocrity Avoiding it ‘cause I don’t wanna fail is more like me I’m tired of all this weight on my shoulders ‘cause I know when I fall, I’ll have to pick it up and try over So I’ve been stuck in my room Semi-hibernating To wake up in the afternoons and feel like I’m just wasting I’ve been thinking lately That it’s not really worth it I’m hurting on the daily maybe I should just quit Another year gone down the drain It’s fucking terrifying Dreary thoughts infest my brain Saying I’m a disappointment Would it make it any better If I said I wasn’t trying ‘cause I’ve put in in my head that growing up is slowly dying I want to find out what gets me out of bed in the morning I want to find out what gets me out of bed in the morning But I’ve been stuck in my room Semi-hibernating To wake up in the afternoons and feel like I’m just wasting I’ve been thinking lately That it’s not really worth it I’m hurting on the daily maybe I should just quit

Letdown 04:06
I’ve been out all night Making small talk on autopilot Now the sun’s so high my eyes refuse to shut And I could be doing something useful But asking me to move is futile ‘cause I’m home And I bought chips And the next six hours I’ll be spending on Netflix You don’t have to tell me I’ll never get the time back I know it’s not healthy that I tend to get sidetracked If I’m still in bed When you get back from classes Come chill for a sec ‘cause I’m all out of meds And I’ve been losing my head I really gotta stop going out To feel alive It isn’t right I’ve got so much left to do But I’ve spaced out To speed up time You don't have to tell me I'll never get the time back I know it's not healthy that I tend to get sidetracked You don't have to tell me I know I'm a letdown I know it's not healthy but maybe it's too late now

24/7 03:00
I reached for the doorknob dressed for the day Only to end up moving away again I need to get another chance to push myself The night I’m so used to starts to retreat Seems like the time to start fixing my sleep I know it’s possible So why does it feel like more than I can handle? I’m so fucking sick of giving up I’m always defeated it’s just my luck But I can’t pretend 24/7 That I’m feeling fine The moon’s declining glow Reveals my room in such a state I’ve been living in the wrong time zone And turning back now feels much too late I’m so fucking sick of giving up I’m always defeated it’s just my luck And I can’t pretend 24/7 That I’m feeling fine But it’s nice to know When you hit the floor You can only go up from there You can only go up Don’t forget to come up for air You can only go up

You haven’t been responding But it’s seven in the morning I take it you’re asleep then Unless I made you mad again Oh my, what a finale So fucking typical of me To push people away ‘cause I’m afraid they’ll figure out I’m not okay So what’s the point? You know I don’t intend to hurt you when I do the shitty selfish things I do And now I’m alone I hate this town; it brings me down But winter’s always been the hardest season (I brought all my sports clothes on holiday thinking I’d be taking care of myself for a change)

Reboot 03:02
4AM, by the window and Counting tiny meteoroids Throwing wishes at random Probing for a sign in the void While everybody’s catching z’s I’ve been chasing them all week My flatmate in the other room Possesses zombie habits too Pass me the remote control I’ll skip to next week like it’s just another episode We could smoke a bowl at yours Forget there’s stuff to do that’s due tomorrow Not again These escapes are awful plans That leave me suffering With a short attention span And break my confidence I fight against this fucking fidgeting When anyone’s around I’ll rest tonight when I feel low And dream up vivid memories of a place I’m homesick for Then I will rise from tomorrow Try harder than I did the day before

Pareidolia 03:50
I’m glad that When I’m away You’ll call me To hear out my pain And your words are Made of medicine Have I told ya That I hear my name (Pareidolia’s What they’re calling it) But it’s your voice I’m so sure it is Will you catch me when I fall If I’m supposed to stand so tall? ‘cause I won’t take no drugs daily Or open up to somebody From your warnings and your pep talks To your warmth and constant tips on How I could be living healthily again Even saying how your day went Over FaceTime when I’m restless Is enough to calm me down and give me strength Now it’s time I get a grip And just accept the ebb and flow Consequences are in store After I leave my phone’s save glow One more thing before I go I just wanted you to know I’m glad that When I’m away You’ll call me To hear out my pain And your words are Made of medicine Have I told ya That I hear my name (Pareidolia’s What they’re calling it) But it’s your voice I’m so sure it is
