Why do we do what we do?
Lyrics
Soul & Soma’s Scars
Verse 1:
Life’s not how I thought it would be
The fairy tales I’ve seen
My faded childhood dreams
Might not ever get my break
Not sure that I have got what it takes
I made my share of mistakes
(Maybe it’s a good thing)
Pre-chorus:
I’m fine, being, alive
Glad I, got to, survive
Chorus:
Never thought I’d get this far
With my soul and soma’s scars
I made peace with inside wars
Broken glass around my heart
Verse 2:
On the other side of ravines the
Days can normally seem
Uniquely ordinary
Highlights they involve the sunlight
Smell of coffee, invites
Time alone with them
Pre-chorus:
Glad I, get to, survive
Chorus
Bridge:
The echo of time is inaudible
Ignoring it fading is my highest fear
Millions of roads to impossible
And thousands of different lifetimes that got me here, me here
Chorus
Legacy
Verse 1:
Strawberries, bare feet
Splinters & puddles knee deep
Fog fairies, sour sweets
Magazines in the back seat
Pre-chorus 1:
Here I thought I’d be
Like my heroes without faults
Here I thought I’d be
The strongest and bravest of all
Chorus:
Is this all it’ll be? My legacy
Are they whispering about me? My ancestry
Are they laughing, are they crying ‘bout what’s happened in my life
Are they cheering, are they screaming, or dreaming for me?
Am I dreaming for me?
Verse 2:
Loud voices, shut door
Fallen is playing once more
Hard choices, inside wars
High grades but smile is forced
Pre-chorus 2:
Never thought I’d be
Like the women on my screens
Never thought I’d be
Anyone worthy at all
Chorus
Bridge:
Oooh, aahh
Oooh, aahh
Chorus
Up to Date
Verse 1:
Tripping on words like it’s a tightrope
Running in circles imma explode
Kept on a lunge line, my head’s spinning
Tip toe around it's not a fair game
It’s my understanding that I’m insane
Driving me wild
Why would you ask this of me?
Chorus:
I’m done
Fooling around
So done
I found the one
Let the curtain fall, ‘cause I’m here for it all
Now you’re up to date, I’m up to date
Verse 2:
What I’ve had in my head is an illusion
I’m waking up from my delusion
Told myself I wanted you in that way
Contorting myself into a locked cage
It’s time that I break out to the main stage
Follow my lead let's walk out to the spotlight
Chorus
Bridge:
I wanna stay in your arms
If you don't want me this way
I'm walking away
Now you're up to date
Chorus
Up to date, I’m up to date
Fever
Verse 1:
I caught a bad case of loving you (I'm sick of it)
Why do you do the things you do (Hate to admit)
That everything goes up
Has to come down
Somehow I don't get better
When you're not around
Chorus:
This is a bitter pill to try n’ swallow
Why do we keep holding on?
We know this sickness is just leaving us hollow
A little taste and then you're gone
We know we're bad for each other like this
But we can't quit, no
We keep running fast
But we can't outrun this fever
Outrun this fever
Verse 2:
You know I'm burning up, but do you care? (where are you now?)
Said walk it off, but I'm beyond repair (you're not somehow)
My temp is heating up
I'm down for all the counts
I'm not sure that I can tough it out
Chorus
Fever
Outrun this fever
Was It a Dream?
Verse 1:
I left my favorite jacket in the backseat of your SAAB from 94
It's not something I've done before, what was I thinking?
Now I don't even know the person you are
Left behind, now we're 4000 miles apart
I left my heart in the backseat ‘cause, I wanted you to have it
Chorus:
Was it a dream or did we wake up?
Was it a break or did we break up?
Nights in your jeans where we made up
Over and over and over again
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Verse 2:
You left your college hoodie or did I, actually steal it, I'm not sure why?
I won't survive another goodbye, what were we thinking?
Now I don't even know the person you are
Left behind, now we're 4000 miles apart
Did you leave your heart with me ‘cause you wanted me to have it?
Chorus
Bridge:
I've been missing you like crazy
Though my memory's getting hazy
Are we really good together?
Can we both find someone better?
Will this nightmare soon be over?
Will the distance grow us closer?
Or will we wake up?
Chorus
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Over and over and over again
Clueless
Verse 1:
Is it true if I think about you too much
I'll forget what you sound like?
‘Cause it's been, been so many months now
It would be impossible to describe
Things that make you, you
Things that make us, us
It all becomes too much
All the things we've been through
What do you need for proof?
How could I lose it all?
Chorus:
You got me clueless
Wondering where we could’ve gone wrong
You got me clueless
We're so obviously flawed
But it's not so obvious to me
As it obviously is for you
So you, you got me asking
Can you un-break a heart?
Verse 2:
Lay in bed
All the feelings that I never had
A million stars in mind
Got me holding the line
Line, line, line
All the things that make you you
Things that make us us
Don't want to lose it all
Chorus
Bridge:
You got me
Another cry, another fight, another sleepless night
Another call I won't recall, you make me feel so small
Another cry, another fight, another sleepless night
Another call I won't recall, you make me feel so small
Chorus
Mona Lisa
Verse 1:
I’m the Mona Lisa
I grew up in a frame
My background got more blurry
I don’t feel quite the same
Been trapped behind the glass
Watching people come and leave
They think that they see me
They don’t know the things I’ve seen
Chorus:
Oooh
Why am I afraid of change?
I’m still the Mona Lisa
Just a little rearranged
Oooh
Why am I afraid of change?
I’m still the Mona Lisa
Without or with my frame
Verse 2:
Been here five hundred years
With these mountains at my back
Been held by so many hands
My skin's completely cracked
People think I’m no longer looking
My smile hides my pain
I’m still the Mona Lisa
But might not look the same
Chorus
Bridge:
Debating who I am
Knowing who I’m not
They stole & tore me down
Then tried to fix me up
They tried to keep me safe
All they did was lock me up
They wanted me to change
But said I changed too much
Chorus
Outro:
Oooh
I'm done being afraid
I am the Mona Lisa
And love's all that remains
