FALLING BEHIND
Verse 1
I’ve always been the one
who just dreams
and can’t seem
to get anything done
Too focused on having fun
that I can’t see
a life for me
or where I’ll be
after twenty-one
Pre-Chorus
But you’re the opposite end of the scale
You smile and succeed
all while I’m guaranteed to fail
So don’t worry
and imagine your plans
are slipping away,
you won’t lose it now
I’m just sorry
that you don’t understand
it will be okay,
although I can’t explain how
Chorus
Baby I know you’re gonna be just fine
cause I’m the one who’s tripping, always falling behind
And lately I can see it’s playing on your mind
but just remember it all takes time
Verse 2
I always found things rough
cause I’ve never
been clever
or caring enough
My head is filled with other stuff
so to defend
I must pretend
to friends and send
the message I’m tough
Pre-Chorus
But you’re the opposite end of the scale
You smile and succeed
all while I’m guaranteed to fail
So don’t worry
and imagine your plans
are slipping away,
you won’t lose it now
I’m just sorry
that you don’t understand
it will be okay,
although I can’t explain how
Chorus
Baby I know you’re gonna be just fine
cause I’m the one who’s tripping, always falling behind
And lately I can see it’s playing on your mind
but just remember it all takes time
Bridge
You’ve always been right
I’ve always been wrong
I’ve always felt weak
seeing you be so strong
I’ve always seemed dumb
because you’re so smart
I’ve turned screwing up into an art
So don’t you dare let yourself
freak out now
You care don’t forget you
speak about how
You’ll achieve so many things
I believe you can do anything
So don’t dare let your confidence
die away today
cause unlike me
I can see
you’ll actually
make it some day
Chorus
Baby I know you’re gonna be just fine
cause I’m the one who’s tripping, always falling behind
And lately I can see it’s playing on your mind
but just remember it all takes time
Baby I know you’re gonna be just fine
cause I’m the one falling behind
I know it takes time
I know it takes time
I know it takes time
Baby you’ll be fine
You’ll be fine
Always falling behind

GET OFF MY TURF
Verse 1
You’re making this harder
than it should be
How can I forget you
when you’re around me
And you have no clue
what you do
You can’t see
how it affects my existence
and clearly resistance
isn’t the key
to be free
Chorus
So get off my turf
you’re not welcome here
Don’t wanna hear your words
going in my ear
You caused nothing but hurt
didn’t you my dear
So don’t dare bring her
anywhere near
Verse 2
It’s not as if I show
up at your place
When I moved I assumed
I’d avoid your face
But now it seems
my perfect scheme
was a waste
Because no matter what,
fair or not,
whatever you wanted you’ve now got
In this case
it’s invading my space
Chorus
So get off my turf
you’re not welcome here
Don’t wanna hear your words
going in my ear
You caused nothing but hurt
didn’t you my dear
So don’t dare bring her
anywhere near
Bridge
I’ve created
a sanctuary here
I’d hate it
so very my dear
So very much if you broke in
so don’t dare touch or take anything
The walls exist
to protect
and they’ll persist
to reject
The welcome isn’t for you
It’s for that group of select few
who are there for me better or worse
So you’re not welcome anymore
alright,
the lock on the door
is your invite
So you better agree to get off my turf
cause it’s what we each deserve
Chorus
So get off my turf
you’re not welcome here
Don’t wanna hear your words
going in my ear
You caused nothing but hurt
didn’t you my dear
So don’t dare bring her
anywhere near

SOMETHING IN THE DARK
Verse 1
This black hole in my soul
feels like it will swallow me whole
But I just hold on through
and play the role I’m told to
The tidal wave in the cave
of the heart that I have
crushes the brave
and only saves the slave
Bridge
As I feel my life drowning
another thousand are crowning
But to sink
is more common than you’d think
Shall I remind you
how some are confined to
never shine through
I know you’re fine, true
Chorus
But you should know that it’s only a matter of time
before the lights go out and we’re all left blind
So something in the dark can creep up from behind
to grind our souls, bind bodies whole
and control everyone’s minds
Verse 2
This deep well inside my shell
is my own personal cell
Can you tell that once I
fell down to hell and died
The dark design in this mind of mine
is defined as a crime not a sign
I need time to find
some kind of safety line
Bridge
As I feel my life drowning
another thousand are crowning
But to sink
is more common than you’d think
Shall I remind you
how some are confined to
never shine through
I know you’re fine, true
Chorus
But you should know that it’s only a matter of time
before the lights go out and we’re all left blind
So something in the dark can creep up from behind
to grind our souls, bind bodies whole
and control everyone’s minds
Coda

Weak

WEAK
Verse 1
For so long
I thought I was in the wrong,
thinking you were more
than what I saw
Yeah it seemed to me
that you could be finally, exactly
what I’d been looking for,
I was so damn sure
But now I know, now I know
Chorus
I thought I was the weak one
but now I know it’s you
I just wanted to seek some
answers that were true
When I asked you to speak, shun
me was all you’d do
You made me feel the meek one,
which lead to the bleak outcome
where you run
Oh yes you run it’s so dumb
You’re so weak I can’t speak
about what you’ve done
You’re so weak, I’m not a freak
and you haven’t won
I’ve let leak how truly weak you are
You’re second to none
Verse 2
For so long
I thought that we did belong,
thinking you and I
would not say goodbye
Yeah I felt my rage
when at this stage
it was a cage, not the same page
that you said with a sigh, was why you’d lied
While my eyes tried not to cry
Chorus
I thought I was the weak one
but now I know it’s you
I just wanted to seek some
answers that were true
When I asked you to speak, shun
me was all you’d do
You made me feel like the meek one,
which lead to the bleak outcome
where you run
Oh yes you run, it’s so dumb
You’re so weak, I can’t speak
about what you’ve done
You’re so weak, I’m not a freak
and you haven’t won
I’ve let leak how truly weak you are
You’re second to none
Bridge
I thought I was weak
and you were so sleek
But you were just a sneak
wanting a peek
once a week
To me your physique
was full of mystique
so I never did critique
your technique
Didn’t realise you were at your peak
on a winning streak
that would only wreak misery
But now I can see
how it wasn’t me,
it was you along
Never been so wrong
It’s true it ended
because you pretended
that you were strong
Well baby not in this song
Chorus
I thought I was the weak one
but now I know it’s you
I just wanted to seek some
answers that were true
When I asked you to speak, shun
me was all you’d do
You made me feel like the meek one,
which lead to the bleak outcome,
where you run
Oh yes you run, it’s so dumb
You’re so weak, I can’t speak
about what you’ve done
You’re so weak, I’m not a freak
and you haven’t won
I’ve let leak how truly weak you are
You’re second to none
