12:24 a.m. (Highway 3) 03:14
lyrics
I've been laying around in my room on my own Listening to old Dashboard Confessional Fighting against the words in my head I know I need some rest I haven't slept well in days, haven't felt good for months This year I've been at my lowest Guilty and tired, hungry, exhausted I don't see anything good coming of it I hope maybe you see a little spark left of what's good in me I hope maybe I'll find something to stick around for I've been driving around in my car all night long Listening to Julien Baker Intrusive thoughts, traumatic memories Things I thought I'd forgotten It's been a long, long road, fighting for recovery I've become my own victim No place I've ever lived in my life Has truly felt like home I hope maybe you see a little glimpse of who I could be I hope maybe I'll find something to stick around for That night, on the side of the highway, I could have ended it all But I got home safely Maybe I should stay That night, on the side of the highway, I could have ended it all But I got home safely Do you want me to stay?

Of All My Friends, I Was The One To Grow Up The Fastest 04:24
lyrics
It's been a while I took some time Working out who I felt that I should be Took a long drive I spent a couple of days All alone in my car Screaming lyrics that made my heart break Because I've always felt that way Growing up was never easy Growing up came a little too fast for me Growing up was never easy I still haven't found peace Putting miles on my car Paid too much for gas in remote places But I know she'll get me far From the anxiety that getting older gave me Don't wanna pay rent Don't wanna mask my insecurities Spending money that I haven't got On little things to make me happy Growing up was never easy Growing up came a little too fast for me Growing up was never easy I still haven't found peace Threw my entire paycheck down a wishing well Hoping on a dream Waiting for a sign to show the universe had listened I just wish to be happy Growing up was never easy Growing up came a little too fast for me Growing up was never easy I still haven't found peace Try as I might, I still haven't found the me I wanted to be

Black Box 02:11
lyrics
I'm falling apart at the seams Who could love a wreck like me? Plane crash, falling down How does it feel when you hit the ground From 30,000 feet? It couldn't be worse than how I feel lately I was riding the high of freedom Spread my wings to learn to fly Like a bird of prey, everything is mine for the taking Black box, tell me where I went wrong Tell me where I fucked up Tell me how to put myself back together I've been falling apart too much And you'll see I keep drifting off to sleep while I'm sat at the driver's seat Highway 3 damaged me A new insecurity That's how I feel lately.

There's A Night I Wish I Could Forget 04:20
lyrics
I used to know the names of dozens of butterflies But lately I can't think of more than one Sometimes you forget where you came from Sometimes you forget everything you thought you'd always know So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew I learned to play guitar in my upstairs bedroom I only knew one song, but I got it down fast I can't remember how to play that song anymore And I couldn't tell you how many times I dropped my pick on the hardwood floor So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew I hid under the desk in my cousins' living room I was crying. I was afraid. He assured us that everything would be alright Didn't believe him. I was afraid. So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew So we grew up faster than anyone else we knew

I Locked Myself Away With Crimson As My Only Company 04:16
lyrics
I don't know how to apologize for shutting you out There aren't enough words in my vocabulary for me to tell You all about how I've felt since he stepped foot out the house I can never go back to satisfactory mental health Blade in my flesh, twisted the hilt Building up walls I've tried to unbuild It's a story I've yet to fully retell Burying the narrative of how I built myself I don't know how to paint you a picture Draw a map up of where it all went wrong I don't care to illustrate the way the pain burned itself into my veins I can only finish one thing at a time. These deadlines aren't for you to decide. They're all mine. Blade in my flesh, twisted the hilt Building up walls I've tried to unbuild It's a story I've yet to fully retell Burying the narrative of how I wrecked myself Tucked it safe in its sheath Didn't think of it until I saw it start to bleed Crimson stains in my chest Crimson stains in my head
