Tragedy 03:45
Another hollow conversation No words come to mind to get your attention to reach your heart Only when It’s too late and we’ve taken separate ways Regret puts Its weight on me Will I ever see you again? Each day passing well known faces Hiding all affection While I’m too anxious to speak Scared of any consequence or what you will think of me What do you really see? A man or a boy lost in tragedy I thought I buried my former self Got rid of all my ignorant thoughts Together with many selfish habits But I haven’t learned a thing at all Each day is getting longer With your image stuck in my head along with the sound of your voice Creating these vague scenarios out of self-doubt, self-pity Where I stand before you and I’m able to admit I wasn’t honest when I said I was fine Time is running out to confess I was to blame for our disconnection I was to blame How many memories are there left of me How many memories Another day passes Another chance ruined To turn your way and grab your hand I’m to blame I’m still the same I’m to blame I’m still the same I’m to blame I’m to blame for everything I’m so ashamed that I’m to blame For everything For everything For every fucking thing

No Hope 03:47
So here I am again back inside this tiny room Spending most of my days avoiding any face I know In the end I always seem to get here to calm down and try to rest But instead I overthink too many thoughts go through my head I’m so sorry to admit I’ve fallen back again to this Lonely cycle that I can’t seem to escape Am I disappointment? Do I still waste your time? How long will I feel unwanted I just want to feel alive How much longer will I stay here continuing wasting my time Why can’t I change Why is this me? I can’t accept this reality I hate being me Back again inside this tiny room Lost again Back again inside this tiny room Lost again I always tell myself the same thing everyday Tomorrow will I be the best version of me But I fail each time I just fall back again No hope This is who I am I’m such a disappointment I keep on wasting your time How long will I be unwanted I just want to feel alive Always will I be unhappy no hope left for my life Always will I be unhappy no hope left for my life

Worth It 03:34
Was it all worth it to you All the time and all the effort we put into creating things Now when we look back all has fallen apart and faded away Meaningless memories you can barely remember You pretend to care only when we cross roads All the days we spend now just seem in vain All the days we spend now just seem in vain Sometimes I wish I would care less Stop being so afraid to mess up again Sometimes I wish I wouldn’t care at all I wouldn’t care at all I want be relieved and show a gracious smile When you say to me ‘’Look how much we’ve changed’’ But there’s too much we’ve left behind There’s too much we’ve left behind Too much I’ve held dear Too much wasted time I can’t forget I’ve got a confession to make I was never good at parting ways It’s like a piece of me disappeared When you turned your back and left me here Even though I know I won’t feel better holding on Even though I know I can’t change how you think I keep being stubborn, being ignorant I keep being me Sometimes I wish I would care less Stop being so afraid to mess up again Sometimes I wish I wouldn’t care at all I want be relieved and show a gracious smile When you say to me ‘’Look how much we’ve changed’’ But there’s too much we’ve left behind There’s too much we’ve left behind Was it all worth it to you All the time and all the effort we put into creating things Was it all worth it Cause now there’s nothing left

Hesitation 03:50
I can’t believe how weak and naive I’ve become longing for your love I keep on wasting more time But my selfish jealous nature makes me feel like I’m less than everyone else Too less to mean anything to you I want to let you go but I don’t want you to leave I swear I fucking tried, Oh I swear I’m still trying But it isn’t as easy as I thought it would be I’m not happy with myself Not happy with who I am Cause I’m not the person you need in your life This lonely feeling slowly starts pulling me down Can I push it away or will it stay I always feel home in your arms but you never feel home in mine. Can I say anything to make you stay with me I just can’t take Another night overthinking with my head in my hands Please don’t leave me here Please don’t leave me here I always wonder Could’ve I done better? Your smile not humble The tension starts to ache I begin to mumble How much more can I take Hesitation made me learn my heart is so easily to break So easily to break Everyday I wonder if you would ever miss my voice Everyday I wonder how you would feel if we would never speak again. Tell me would you miss me Tell me would you miss me This lonely feeling has finally pulled me to the bottom Where I will stay I always feel home in your arms but you never feel home in mine Can I say anything to make you stay with me I just can’t take Another night overthinking with my head in my hands Please don’t leave me here, please don’t leave me here Please don’t leave me here Please don’t leave me here

Wondering Worrying How much pressure can I endure I never knew why I’ve been like this but I never found a cure For this awful insecurity that keeps interfering me Keeping me away from being happy Always comparing myself with everyone else leaves me thinking I’m not good enough So I stay silent drown in my own misery Make myself believe that my presence isn’t worth anything, cause I am nothing For so many years I got told that eventually I would change That this insecurity would always stay but I would learn how to cope with it And I would learn how to hide it and get stronger as I grow older So I lived and continued with this mindset that everything would be okay. But why haven’t I changed yet Why do I still feel the same Why does this thought of being a failure always linger in my mind Son, you are beautiful as you are Mother, last December I’ve turned 22 And I’m ashamed to say I still can’t believe you Teach me how to love I want to love myself, I want to be there for you and everyone else I want to get rid of my doubts, I want to change, I need your help Teach me how to fucking love myself Wondering Worrying How much pressure can I endure I never knew why I’ve been like this but I never found a cure For this awful insecurity that keeps interfering me Keeping me away from being happy Always unhappy Always comparing myself with everyone else leaves me thinking I’m not good enough So I stay silent, drown in my own misery Make myself believe that my presence isn’t worth anything cause I am nothing

Your Arrow 03:27
I close my eyes I fall asleep And see you wandering there in my dreams Like time doesn’t even exist If this could only last forever If I could only dream a little longer But then I wake up and you’re gone And you’re gone Your arrow stays in my heart I can’t get rid of this pain you left in me This harsh reality Makes me want to sleep forever Take my hand Never let me go Don’t wake me up Cause I already know That you won’t be there next to me To comfort me To help me out 5 past 2 and I’m lying awake My eyes are burning from wiping all my tears away Can I ever have an eight hour rest Without you in my mind again Why are you only there in my dreams Your presence made me feel so alive The worst part is that I don’t even know If your last words were even honest You said ‘’It’s best for us both’’ Well losing sleep doesn’t help me at all I deserve an honest answer But I know I’m too late to ask I need the truth I need you here Your arrow stays in my heart I can’t get rid of this pain you left in me This is harsh reality Makes me want to sleep forever Take my hand Never let me go Never let me go Your love is buried in my heart Your love is buried in my heart Your love is buried in my heart Your love is buried in my heart

about

I was really depressed when we started writing these songs almost 2 years ago. Having no vision of what I wanted my future to look like, and being haunted by anxiety made me question ‘’What’s the point to keep on going?" These songs helped me release a lot of pent-up frustration and made me eventually open up more about how I felt. With ‘Tiny Room’ I wanted to reach out to people who may have felt (or still feel) lost. If you’re looking for an outlet for your frustration, for whatever it may be, come to our shows and scream along.
