Been carrying baggage deciding my habits
I'm just ready to let this go
I'm unsure of everything I've made
I'm a little bit crippled and a little displaced
Abandoned every mound of dirt for the promise of something new
you could say commitment isn't my strong suit
I stumbled upon my own trail through the parting fog
So find me where I started whether new resolve or defeat
I'm the middle point where two ends meet
Mostly back and forth a constant start and stop
I think I only speak to hear my voice trail off
I want so badly to be wanted
But I need to show you that I don't
So if I make it out to the road
I'll tell you how I'm better off
I'm better off home
I'm crippled and displaced
Unsure of everything
Mostly back and forth
I'll tell you how I'm better off
I'm falling in and out of time
The pressure won't release from my mind
The beating is far too loud and I can barely breathe
Should I stay or should I leave
Stop holding me back stop pulling me down
When all I want is to leave this town
I can't break free from my own grip
I promise to catch myself if I slip
No time to think
It's already in the past
Wiped away with the blink of an eye
I'm sick of falling short on my own time
All I want is to prosper and inspire
It's time for me to take control
It's time for me to let myself go
I just need a little room to grow
The devil's banging on my window saying let yourself go
Been waking up to sunless skies and empty trees
Deprived myself of light and things I need
Could you call this trying
I feel the ending came and went
Stuck and hover above this place like a crypt
Does my voice carry beyond the concrete
All you'll receive
(Skip and repeat)
And empty trees
(Skip and repeat)
Skip and repeat
Push beyond the edges you've known as youth
And return empty handed as if it were proof
Of why I should stay inside tonight
And watch the rain illuminate a dark and starless sky
I won't feel it through the bottom off my shoes
No layer of cloth for it to bleed through
Only four lines to keep me away from you
Watch them buckle and break like summer streets
Skip and repeat
Another song you can't hold
Another season you can't control

It's like all the things I like about other artists I like, rolled into one. Every song is polished and engaging and mature. Definitely keen for more like this. Bird
