Swallowed Whole

We started out like a fairytale romance
It was us against the world
We sailed the seas
Shared our love we shared our dreams
Was your boy you were my girl
[Chorus] Lost myself along the way
Lost my love she went astray
Miles of endless ocean
Swallowed whole
Sunk down and touched the bottom
It was darker than night
The great unknown
The end I feel so far from
Not a single thing in sight
[Repeat Chorus]

Everybody tried to tell me
Oh, but I wouldn’t believe them
Been with you for so long
I don’t know which way to turn to
[Chorus] So I burn, burn, burn
So I burn, burn, burn
So I burn, burn, burn
I wake up
I make my bed
I think of
The things you said
I’ve been trying to calm down
Oh, ain’t nothing doing me no good
Been your fool for so long
I don’t know which way to turn to
[Repeat Chorus]

There’s something wrong
Can’t put my finger on it
Girl I’ve been drowning
Since the day you’ve been gone
It’s nothing new
When I think about it
I’ve been falling
Since the day I was born
[Pre Chorus] There’s gotta be a better way
To get these thoughts out of my brain
There’s gotta be a better way
Love’s the only thing that ever (saves)
[Chorus] Love’s the only thing gonna save me
Love’s the only thing gonna save my soul
Love’s the only thing gonna set me free
Love’s the only thing
Love’s the only thing, yeah
Oh my god
Here it comes again
Can feel you rising
Like a wave in my chest and
Lord see me through
Through the wilderness
I’ve been living
In the valley of darkness
[Repeat Pre Chorus + Chorus]

I Don't Wanna Die

Unraveling, unnerving
Stuck on repeat
Lost in a bad dream
Spiraling, burning
Lost at sea
Stuck in a bad dream
[Chorus] I feel so broken I
I feel so broken I
I feel so broken I could cry
I get so lonesome I
I get so lonesome I
I get so lonesome I could die
Retreating, I’m leaving
Change with the leaves
Lost in a bad dream
Spiraling, burning
Lost at sea
Stuck in a bad dream
[Repeat Chorus]
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die

A Million Little Pieces
03:34
|
|||
|
You came like a wave
Crashing on me
Now that we have talked about it
I don’t wanna think about it
The things that we say
The things that we do
They don’t mean nothing baby
If we don’t speak the truth
[Pre Chrous] You say that you’re leaving
Can see that your gone
I don’t know what I did so wrong
You say that you’re hurtin’
Well I’m hurtin’ too
You can’t see that I...
[Chorus] I don’t want to fall apart
You knew this heart was true
You broke it into
A million little pieces
She said, he said
I don’t want your bull shhhh
I just want the truth
Sometimes what we need
Is not what we want
In this lonely ever-after
Is love the only thing that matters
The things that we gain
The things that we lose
It don’t mean nothing baby
If we don’t speak the truth
[Repeat Pre Chorus + Chorus]

Hey Mama

I, I, I am wanting to know
What it is about you
I can’t let go
I, I, I want you to see love
What you’ve done to me love
Don’t it show?
I’m shaking, my heart’s breaking again
Lord knows I can’t find my, can’t find my happiness
I’m faking until I make it out
Girl you hurt me so
I thought I’d let you know...
You, you, you, you got the best of me
Now take what’s left of me
And watch me disappear
Well, well, well you got a secret
I’ve got a deep cut
A fever to tell
I’m shaking, my heart’s breaking again
Lord knows I can’t find my, can’t find my happiness
I’m faking until I make it out
I thought I’d let you know
Girl you hurt me so
Hey mama can’t you see I don’t want your misery
Hey mama can’t you see I don’t need your misery
Hey mama can’t you see I don’t want your misery
Hey mama can’t you see I don’t need your misery

Jenny

[Chorus] Jenny got a job today and she’ll prove it
Jenny movin’ far away and she’ll do it
Jenny don’t live here no more
Still gets mail right at my front door
Jenny got a lot to say but she don’t
Says it’s better this way so she won’t
Keep running away like she do
Keep hidin’ away said we’re through
Jenny don’t live here no more
Still gets mail right at my front door
It was just another day like any other day
I ain’t tryna play I ain’t tryna sway ya
It ain’t like a made ya, I ain’t tryna save ya
Know what God gave ya
Freedom to do, what you gotta do, who you gotta be
I know it ain’t easy but there’s plenty of fish in the sea
Said “don’t wait for me, don’t you wait for me,
I know it ain’t easy but there’s plenty of fish in the sea”
Jenny gotta a lot on her mind says she needs a little time
Says that everything will be fine, said “don’t worry baby”
Are you coming home? She said, “maybe”
Are you coming home? She said, “It’s unlikely”
Are you coming home? “I think it’s over”
Then she said “I’m sorry but I’m moving out to Florida”
Dang
“I really tried to warn ya...
That time in California.”
[Repeat Chorus]

I Wanna Love You

What’s the matter, did you fall down?
Fetch a pale of water for your broken crown
I’ll start mending, never ending
I wanna love you
I wanna love you
I wanna love you
I wanna love you
In the quiet blanket of stars
I still wonder where you are
Moon is shining, love’s so blinding
I wanna love you (but you’re making it so hard)
I wanna love you (you’re making it so hard)
I wanna love you (you’re making it so hard)
I wanna love you (you’re making it so hard)

Second Guessing
03:28
|
|

|
It’s 3am and I’m wide awake
Trying to make a clean escape
Caving in, sinking and I’m lying to myself again
[Pre Chorus] Wondering how long before I’ll stop
Waiting now for the other shoe to drop
[Chorus] Why do I do it to myself
How could I do this to someone else
When I’m with you I’m someone else
When I’m with you I’m someone else
Tired of all this messing around
Tired of second guessing
The sun is up but I am down
Lonesome feeling all around
Giving in, thinking and I’m crying to myself again
[Repeat Pre Chorus + Chorus]

I really thought, I really thought I knew you so well
Maybe not, maybe not, you fooled me so well
I’ve got a ways to go
It’s such a lonely road
My love just let me go
Just let me go, just let me roll it to ya
All of the while
I’ve been lying, I’ve been crying for you
All of the while
I’ve been trying, I’ve been dying and...
I don’t wanna cry for you no more
I don’t wanna cry for you no more
I believe, I believe it’s time I move on
Take what you need, take what you needed so long, so long
I’ve got a ways to go
It’s such a lonely road
My love just let me go
Just let me go, just let me roll it to ya
All of the while
I’ve been lying, I’ve been crying for you
All of the while
I’ve been trying, I’ve been dying and...
I don’t wanna cry for you no more
I don’t wanna cry for you no more

Sunlight and Water

Oh my heart’s still beating
Oh my mind’s still reeling
[Pre Chorus] I don’t wanna give up the fight
But I’m heading in the other direction
I just wanna do what’s right
Girl I caught a glimpse of my own reflection
[Chorus] Nothing in this world comes for free
Nothing you can say means a goddamn thing to me
Only thing that I really need
Baby just a little sunlight and water
Oh my eyes, wide open
Can’t sleep at night, I’m broken
[Repeat Pre Chorus + Chorus]
I don’t know if it’s the weather
Whether or not it’s forever
You went away, what can I say?
I don’t know what we’ll remember
Universe handing out lessons
Like blessings, on blessings, on blessings
Or is it pain? Ain’t it the same?
I guess it’s me who’s confessin’
I don’t wanna win the fight, yeah
I just wanna do what’s right, yeah
I can’t even sleep at night, yeah
I’ll surrender to the light, yeah
[Repeat Chorus]

Inaiah Lujan Pueblo, Colorado
"Whether laying down some succulent psychotropic hip-hop as DJ Flow Nase, feeding off of severely distorted barre chords
with the riff-heavy punk band A Poor Substitute, or lending distinctive vocal abilities to the peculiar and hypnotic "funeral pop" band The Mexican, Pueblo's Inaiah Lujan is plainly a restless soul."
