Slow Burn 03:55
SLOW BURN It’s been a hard year of highs and lows There have been dark times nobody knows What goes on beneath the skin What kind of mess I made this into I’m slow on the lesson I’m slow on the learn I guess I’m just a slow burn It’s on my shoulders my back alone What you’ve done you’ve gotta own There’s no way through on faking grass You gotta live with the calls of your past I’m slow on the lesson I’m slow on the learn I guess I’m just a slow burn Never had joy like this before Never had pain so hard so raw When you came along I was down in the depths Lucky stone around my neck I’m slow on the lesson I’m slow on the learn I guess I’m just a slow burn

Carry On 04:20
I have arms and they need to hold ya I have a heavy heart and it needs a shoulder Honey inside external soldier Oh but I have arms and they need to hold ya I wish I was a ship steady and strong There’s nothing I can do but carry on I wish I could wind back where I went wrong There’s nothing I can do but carry on How are you I’m doing fine Another day another line Daily rollercoaster of sugar and tar Here I am and there you are I wish I was a ship steady and strong There’s nothing I can do but carry on I wish I could wind back where I went wrong There’s nothing I can do but carry on I’m unsteady tip me in a light breeze Oh the wax and the wane has worn at me What do you want what do you need? I’ll give up I’ll give you every piece of me I wish I was a ship steady and strong There’s nothing I can do but carry on I wish I could wind back where I went wrong There’s nothing I can do but carry on credits

Already Gone 03:50
Your poison ran deep, your poison ran quiet Your poison ran strong, your poison ran wild You chip chipped away, leaving no scars behind You wore me down, had me doubting my mind Already gone, just biding my time Already gone, a stitch saves nine You had a strong front, you were bad to the core I could see it in your eyes yeah I’d seen it before All of the lying, all of the games Baby come crashing through the branches again Already gone, just biding my time Already gone, a stitch saves nine Already gone, just biding my time Already gone get the ducks in a line Get out get out, get out with your life Get out get out, get out alive Get out get out, get out with your life Get out get out, get out alive You’d call me names and I’d ignore you Couldn’t remember what I did before you All of the lying, all of the games Couldn’t put baby together again Already gone, just biding my time Already gone, a stitch saves nine Already gone, just biding my time Already gone get the ducks in a line

Well you’re winning the busyness contest Looks like your diary’s jam-packed With opportunities and ways to better yourself And you will yeah I’ll give you that Look at all the flights in your flights app Look at all the days you’re away Wow you must really be killing it Another lunch in the lounge ok Your schedule makes me wanna lie down And cover my eyes with a shoe Your instagram is all about envy And of course you’re beautiful too You must be tired of being you Have a break take a load off come and sit down Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing They only care if you’re around Your self worth is intrinsically linked to the numbers Of listeners throughout the day Why hasn’t that show sold out yet It’s been on sale for days for days And after all of this crazy what do you have to show A battered suitcase of memories And a disjointed life back home You must be tired of being you Have a break take a load off come and sit down Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing They only care if you’re around And you’ll never be ready for anything Yeah it’s never gonna be the right time You’re always too busy to start it I’m telling you it’s a lie it’s a lie You must be tired of being you Have a break take a load off come and sit down Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing They only care if you’re around Have a break take a load off come and sit down Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing They only care if you’re around credits
