Island 05:00
It gets colder in the spring Cut your hair and pack your things Oh your jacket's way too thin Kid, the snow will pierce your skin I’m fine so let me go, let me go I’m fine so let me go I’m not on an island You shouldn't swim me to dry land I’ll make it fine on my own Let’s meet at the old house Only an hour to go south I should call you on the phone What if someone’s on the attack I don’t know if you could fight back You know I worry a lot You’re the youngest one I got I’m fine so let me go, let me go I’m fine so let me go I’m not on an island You shouldn't swim me to dry land I’ll make it fine on my own Let’s meet at the old house Only an hour to go south I should call you on the phone It’s been 5 months since I’ve seen you face to face Wasn’t trying to hide, I had to leave this place But now I can’t focus on where I’m going now Could you give me a nudge, and I can find out how It’s been 5 months since I’ve seen you face to face Wasn’t trying to hide, I had to leave this place But now I can’t focus on where I’m going now Could you give me a nudge, and I can find out how I’m not on an island You shouldn't swim me to dry land I’ll make it fine on my own Let’s meet at the old house Only an hour to go south I should call you on the phone I'm fine so let me go

There’s bodies in the streets They’re setting up the sides But we never hit World War 3 It’s the end of the world, the end of the world They’re telling us lies They’re saying we’re fine But the wounds they’re running too deep It’s the end of the world, the end of the world Don’t know how we’re gonna survive While the rich are finding new ways to thrive As long as I’m still alive I’ll be okay I’m still alive Street’s full of grass Sky’s gone all pink But the air has never felt so clean It’s the end of the world, the end of the world The rundown schools The desolate parks The city’s felt never so serene It’s the end of the world, the end of the world Don’t know how we’re gonna survive While the rich are finding new ways to thrive As long as I’m still alive I’ll be okay I’m still alive When it’s the end Will it feel like the end? Have you seen my friends? Cause I don’t know

Good News 03:40
What if I was caught by the policeman Would I even stand a chance, man Or is this too bleak I am over trying to be brave Started shopping for my own grave I’m too poor to die Can anyone remember When we were all okay Maybe I just need some good news Something to look forward to I can’t take this shit anymore What are we living for Silver linings are coated in gray If it’s our last day What a waste of it I want to keep on waiting The end can keep delaying I haven’t lived yet Can anyone remember When we were all okay Maybe I just need some good news Something to look forward to I can’t take this shit anymore What are we living for
