1.	July 03:38	lyrics	buy track
I can feel the shoreline Drifting away under my heavy hands I try to find beauty in where the water meets the sand Always thought we’d have time The tide pulled away what we could of had I never thought this would happen The death of this I’ll never understand Now I smile for you And everything you meant to me Everything we couldn’t be Now I smile for you I get comfort knowing you’re set free I guess some things aren’t meant to be Can you feel the shoreline? It’s finally bringing comfort to where I stand I think I found beauty in where the water meets the sand I remember you everytime Every time July has come and gone I find it harder and harder I try and keep moving on Now I smile for you And everything you meant to me Everything we couldn’t be Now I smile for you I get comfort knowing you’re set free I guess some things aren’t meant to be
2.	Motion Pictures (feat. Bradley Harvey) 03:19	lyrics	buy track
Let me strike a match so I can see The blank stare in your eyes While I stare back helplessly As I start to wake from the bad dream I remember everything To tear me at the seams I can’t find my way I’m in decay My breath gets deeper the longer I wait As I watch the light pass through the door I get to thinking I can’t take much more Motion pictures in my head Playing images I dread I’m swimming in oceans of lost time I’m slipping up again I’m slipping up again Motion pictures in my head Playing images I dread I’m swimming in oceans of lost time I’m slipping up again I’m slipping up again
3.	Scenery 02:13	lyrics	buy track
I am lost but I am learning How to be a ghost Try to simplify I’m cutting ties The art of letting go When I’m losing all my sleep My body gives up on me It’s a sacrifice I’m losing time It’s all I ever know I’m driving through the scenery This plastic in place of greenery Nothing seems real to me Nothing seems real to me I’m changing shape a gaseous state Still scrambling for solid weight Something doesn’t feel the same Something doesn’t feel the same
4.	Too Late 03:00	lyrics	buy track
My stomach’s tied in knots And I can’t seem to get over this feeling ‘Cause my head pounds with thoughts And I can’t seem to move past all the memories It’s too late for me I’ve lost sight of who I want to be Wish I could turn it all around Too easily I’m looking back at who I used to be I keep holding myself down My weakness holds me down Try to stand up on my feet but I keep falling I’ll get up off the ground The cycle doesn’t break or bend Around again it goes It’s too late for me I’ve lost sight of who I want to be Wish I could turn it all around Too easily I’m looking back at who I used to be I keep holding myself down
5.	Debris 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I can’t hold myself to what I said Every fear I had it plays out in my head I’m feeling lost again Split my head on rocks Too shallow to feel the water Cauterize these wounds To take the pain away I won’t let my mind be filled with this debris The fears I hide behind My end is all that I see I won’t let my mind get lost in misery That’s playing with locked doors with broken keys I always told myself to look ahead I live in constant fear of losing everything I have I’m slipping up again After all these years I’m still not getting over The constant reminders That never fade away I won’t let my mind be filled with this debris The fears I hide behind My end is all that I see I won’t let my mind get lost in misery That’s playing with locked doors with broken keys I won’t let my mind be filled with this debris The fears I hide behind My end is all that I see I won’t let my mind get lost in misery That’s playing with locked doors with broken keys
