Anxious
03:19
|

My brother's cup is running out
and he's living in a world of doubt
he feels so anxious
Coffee stain on his suit
need more green to kill the blues
he feels so anxious
What damage did he create?
Does it look like he's gaining weight?
he feels so anxious
If we were living in peaceful times
then we should all have peaceful minds
instead we're anxious
Storm of the century
and a loss of civility
he feels so anxious
They know everything he do
where he go, and what he choose
it makes him anxious
Abandoned factory right down the street
is churning out toxicity
and it makes him anxious
it makes him anxious

Keepin Me Up
03:06
|

You're keeping me up thinking
late into the night.
You're keeping me up thinking
about whether you were right.
And now i've gotta try to forget you
You never should have told me
cause now i'm outta line
You've got my attention,
and you're taking up my time
Can't keep you off my mind, oh yeah x3
yeah, you got me thinking
You overload the circuit,
the system went offline.
You're name is written
down the center of my mind.
And now i've gotta try to forget you.
You never should have told me
cause now i'm outta line
You've got my attention,
and you're taking up my time
Can't keep you off my mind, oh yeah x3
yeah, you got me thinking

I was smitten, once bitten
didn't see the dagger hidden
and too trusting to scrutinize.
You were treasure, shit together.
Storms rollin, i see clear weather
Shoulda noticed, shoulda been more wise.
Too much patience, too much pride
Never wanted to hear my side
When someone shows you who they are
believe them the first time
Been around, heard some sounds
not the truth coming out of your mouth.
The trust in my people shaken.
There's no fixing what you're missing
and i don't have time to figure out
if you're flaking
Too much patience, too much pride
never wanted to hear my side.
When someone shows you who they are
believe them the first time.

I Don't Need To Tell You
02:44
|
|||
Can you see in my being
there's a heart that i'm concealing?
What it knows, what it knows, and
i don't need to tell you.
Can you see on my face
there's a grin so big it's out of place?
Well, it gleams, and it seems that
i don't need to tell you
Why am i celebrating?
Why aren't you relating?
Maybe you misunderstand...
Going in the wrong direction.
Help me find the intersection
where i can hold your hand.
Can you see in my eyes,
is it any sort of surprise?
What they know, what they know and
i don't need to tell you.
Can you see i'm not scared
and totally prepared
cause you know, cause you know that
i don't need to tell you.
Can you see in my being
There's a heart that i'm concealing
what it knows, what it knows and...
i don't need to tell you.
Can you see on my face
there's a grin so big it's outta place?
Well, it gleams and it seems that
i don't need to tell you.

Get your mind right, mind right,
Cool Hand Luke.
The dogs are close behind,
lawman after you.
Get your mind right, mind right
Cool Hand Luke.
The dogs are close behind,
lawman after you.
Busted out of jail,
sheriff on your tail.
Throw them off your track,
you'd rather die than be dragged back
How this escalate!
What a twist of fate!
You're never going to play
play by the rules, no no no
Get your mind right, mind right
Cool Hand Luke
The dogs are close behind,
lawman after you.
The dogs are close behind,
lawman after you.
The dogs are close behind,
lawman after you.

Space Force

Come along on our rocketship
on an interstellar trip
Out to the cosmos,
we don't need intros
you know that we're the Space Force
you know that we're the Space Force
Our captain's a genius,
for so many reasons.
We're all space-suited,
routes are compute.
We penned our own charter,
brought our own water.
There's so much outside!
We feel so much pride in the Space Force
in the Space Force!
Come onboard our rocketship
on an interstellar trip.
Out to the cosmos,
we don't need intros
you know that we're the Space Force.
Our Captain's a genius,
tries to appease us.
Dark, disconnected,
don't ask him questions.
He tore up our charter,
salted our water.
We can't step outside
that don't matter in the mind
of the Space Force
of the Space Force

Do the Tellway stop riddim drop
play it with the bass turned up.
Turn it up higher!
Do the Tellway stop riddim drop
play it with the bass turned up.
Turn it up higher!
We turn the dials
and we mix it up, mix it up
Bash it to the casket
and we mash it up, mash it up
Pull the lever on your fever
burn you up, burn you up
Making you a true believer,
heal you up, heal you up
Transmitter to receiver,
pick it up, pick it up
Treatin' you like you were Caesar,
stick it up, stick it up

You - you're really something,
something special to me.
So, i told you that i loved you,
in hopes you'd love me, too.
But when i told you that i loved you,
you ran away from me.
I tried my best to stop you,
but you ran away from me
You ran away from my love
shame, i had so much to give.
You ran away from our love,
shame, i had so much to give.
You - you're really something,
something special to me.
So, i told you that i loved you,
in hopes you'd love me, too.
You ran away from my love
shame, i had so much to give.
You ran away from our love,
shame, i had so much to give.

Oh, i'm feeling the pressure now,

Oh, i'm feeling the pressure now,

The closer i come to the fire,

the hotter it feels
and i'm feeling the hunger now,

Oh i'm feeling the hunger now,

The closer i come to the fire,
i said the closer i come to the fire
the hotter it feels
Cool me down, cool me down, cool me down, now
Cool me down, cool me down, cool me down, now
and i'm feeling the hunger now,

The closer i come to the fire,

the hotter it feels
Cool me down, cool me down, cool me down, now
Cool me down, cool me down, cool me down, now

Let Me In (2020 version)
03:13
|

There was this darkness hanging over me.
Couldn't be the girl i wanted to be.
And you showed me everything i didn't want to see
now it's time to let me in
I tried so hard to be the one for you.
I sacrificed and gave my soul to you.
I do whatever else I have to do,
if you'll only let me in.
Let me in, let me in
I know in my heart our love can win
Let me in, let me in,
I know in my heart our love can win
solo
Let me in, let me in
I know in my heart our love can win
Let me in, let me in,
I know in my heart our love can win
There was this darkness hanging over me.
Couldn't be the girl i wanted to be.
And you showed me everything i didn't want to see
now it's time to let me in
I tried so hard to be the one for you.
I sacrificed and gave my soul to you.
I do whatever else I have to do,
if you'll only let me in.
Let me in, let me in
I know in my heart our love can win
Let me in, let me in,
I know in my heart our love can win
I know in my heart our love can win
I know in my heart our love can win

Oh, my darling who brought you in?
You caught me with your look,
and started reeling me in.
Come, come, meet me darling,
i can be friendly.
Oh, my darling, you look so low
i'll make you laugh again
and you'll forget all your woes
Come, come meet me darling
i can be friendly.
If we never talked before,
i want to change that thing, for sure.
I may seem frightening,
but i assure you that i'm charming
Oh, my darling, you're charming for sure
so take me for a spin before i walk out that door
Come dance with me darling,
i can be friendly
Oh, my darling, I was so low
you took me for a spin
and now i'm coming back for more
You reeled me in darling
you were so friendly
We had never talked before,
this could be love, for sure
It may be seem frightening
but i assure you that it's charming
Come, come meet me darling
i can be friendly
Come, come meet me darling
i can be friendly
Come, come meet me darling
i can be friendly
