Happy Pills 03:31
Tell me something hold me back I’m on the road to a relapse They all say I need rehab, but I’m stubborn Malaika why you so damn mad But I have every right to that I faced all my fears just to meet ya’ll here. To learn something What do you prescribe For pain Now that she’s gone What do you recommend To laugh? and to stay strong? To move on Feels like I’m drowning In a bottle full of happy pills and she is on the other side laughing at me And how hard I bleed This is the last thing I need Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it Eyes can you check my eyes cause I was blind to the shit Can you check my pulse- it skipped a beat from the stress Can you check my legs, they may be broken When you left me they aint move I was so stunned Skin can check my skin cause I have bruises Can you check my hands cause I’ve been shaking Heart can you check my heart Think that it’s still pumping I’m alive and that means something but its numb What do you prescribe For pain Now that she’s gone What do you recommend To laugh? and to stay strong? To move on Feels like I’m drowning In a bottle full of happy pills and she is on the other side laughing at me And how hard I bleed This is the last thing I need Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah

Salt 03:56
Salt it hurts my eyes that’s why I cry when I cry The little things hurt the most like when they ask me why Why you left Why you gone, got a new girl your steady loving strong Ima love you till the day she don’t And I hate you cause you leave And you never try to talk to me I miss the way you used to be Just you and me Gone now now Gone now now Gone now now Gone now Gone now now. Oh Now you told me to be patient Told me to be kind I tried to repay you But your love was so defined Now im breaking at the bridges Between the end of the lines If I couldn’t see this coming does it make me blind. And I always argue with myself Cause we don’t want nobody else Which doesn’t make my sense that your my headache Which doesn’t make my sense cause your my heartbreak But your Gone now now Gone now now Gone now now Gone now Gone now now. Oh Bridge: Gone a gone away (x15) I always argue with myself Cause we don’t want nobody else And I miss you being my headache And I want you to be my heartbreak Gone now.

Hate Love 03:11
I’ve seen fire conquer water, there’s an acid in my blood. Couldn’t see the moving target Can’t believe it’s you it’s us Darling, you make me happy Yes Yes And we fell so madly Madly in love Don’t need money cause it’s poison While we were broke we were so rich I hate that we had to struggle That it tore our relationship But you once made me happy Yes Yes Then we fell so madly madly madly Madly in love Now I hate love I hate love I hate love I hate it That feeling that your broken and you can’t fix it. On this road and I know where it leads to Hate was born from love And all them lies that you gun tell Trigger trigger once ima give you hell Seems the older I get I get stupid I hate love I Hate love And all we gun become We used to think as one Now we don’t even speak And you stay mad at me You promised to miss me if we split I love you but you know things happen Guess who remembered when you didn’t You lie to kill my pain The truth it kills my days I hate love yeah

There's Hope 03:11
Think I might make it These steps that I’m taking Might eventually make me strong I might finally write songs Think if I smiled I might actually be happy Think that they’ll notice, they see right thru me I’m so alone Here comes the paranoia They all say they care They all say they care I swear they don’t (swear they don’t don’t) Here comes the paranoia There’s hope For every seed that died There’s hope For every tear you cried There’s hope For emptiness inside Happiness a day away- your just stuck on rewind , there’s hope Gotta be hope in this cruel world Theres gotta be hope for these small girls Gotta be hope, gotta be hope. Somewhere out there. mmmm Stay still. Wait for your bruises to heal before you move again. Realize that love and a lover don’t mean a friend Un-bottle your feelings and feel them instead Bottle the rain then learn to drink it. Taking that pain like two shots to the head It’s in Refusing to stay victim Beginning to fight systems Break generational curses Realize your family’s hurting Knowing there’s power in words and you can save yourself. Put a Comma when you ended it , need to pace yourself There’s hope For every seed that died There’s hope For every tear you cry There’s hope For emptiness inside Happiness a day away your just stuck on rewind , there’s hope.
