I spent a year in the dark I used my ears to find my way I started building an arc Put on my headphones to pray Generation gone blind We’re sightless and hateful But I’ve got friends and health and time So I try to be grateful Now when I fall apart You put me together I’m still not okay But I’m doing better When I’m challenged in life I hear your voice inside my head All the flowers in my garden Grew out of things you said I don’t tell you enough But you’re beautiful I don’t say it enough But I’m grateful Breath in Breathe out Feel good Again Breath in Breathe out Feel love Again Breath in Breathe out Come on Again Breath in Breathe out Feel the sunrise Breath in Breathe out Feel good Again Breath in Breathe out Feel the sun

Nostalgia 03:05
lyrics

It’s been so long I’ve changed, but you’ve changed so much Turning adult I’ve lost my sense of touch I hear your voice Echo in my head’s high school gym I touch your face With the hand of my phantom limb Hide behind headphones Play a song I know Repeat it again and again Oh nostalgia Can we be kids again? Not all of the good die young How the hell have you been? In present day I’m old, you’re older still Passion decay Walk through memory landfill Maturity Feels like nothing at all A younger me Would kick me right in the balls Visit our headstone Play the slideshow Start it from the beginning Oh nostalgia Can we be kids again? Not all of the good die young How the hell have you been? I forgive you for buying some time I forgive you for wasting mine Is it strange that I think we are still best friends When I know I will never see you again? Oh nostalgia We’ll never be kids again But we could still have fun I’m ready to begin

We unload the groceries You put down your phone and put up your hair I put some music on Moon Safari in the air Nobody makes me feel as home as you do I must be the luckiest man alive, to spend my life with you Oh, we’re in love We’re in love I want to celebrate tonight Oh, we’re in love We’re in love Pour another glass of wine Oh, we’re in love We’re in love I still can’t believe you’re mine Oh, we’re in love We’re in love I’m the luckiest man alive The perfect evening Dirty dishes and kisses on the mouth Your hand in my hair, I’m lost in your eyes Let’s make a bed out of this couch Nobody makes me feel as high as you do I must be the sexiest man alive, to get to make love to you Oh, we’re in love We’re in love I want to celebrate tonight Oh, we’re in love We’re in love Pour another glass of wine Oh, we’re in love We’re in love I still can’t believe you’re mine Oh, we’re in love We’re in love I’m the happiest, wealthiest, luckiest man alive

We’re gonna die, this is our only life We’re gonna die, we better get it right When the reaper comes to take my life I want you to be by my side Let yourself smile, be your best friend for a while Let yourself be, take hard things easily Don’t let the world put you on trial We’re gonna die, so let yourself smile Swallow your pride, let fortune be your guide Don’t pick a side, keep a open mind As long as you know that you tried We’re gonna die, so swallow your pride It’s okay to cry, when life goes awry We all feel lost, we’re all terrified If you can’t be happy, then just get by We’re gonna die, it’s okay to cry Reach out for love, give your heart away To the one, your friends, and your family None of this means anything anyway We’re gonna die, so give your heart away We’re gonna die, this is our only life We’re gonna die, we better get it right When the reaper comes to end my life I want you I want you I want you I want you (I want you) I want you (I want you, to be by my side) I want you (I want you, to be by my side, by my side) I want you (I want you, to be by my side, by my side) I want you (I want you, to be by my side, by my side) I want you (I want you, to be by my side, by my side) I want you (I want you, to be by my side, by my side) I want you (I want you, to be by my side, by my side) I want you (I want you, to be by my side, by my side) I want you I want you I want you I want you, by my side

With Your Ghost in Me 04:12

When everything is fucked I listen to you laughing I hear God talk to me Promise everything is fine When the world is on fire I look into your eyes And see heaven waiting On the other side When I hold your hand I forget all the news And what’s wrong with me I put my faith in you When I don’t know what to do I play the tape in my head To get close to you You take me by the hand And guide me through the fog Since I don’t believe in God Speak to me through the noise A voice I can trust With your ghost in me With your ghost in me, I try With your ghost in me With your ghost in me With your ghost in me, I try With your ghost When He clears the table And sends me off to bed I’ll find you in my dream I’ll hold you in the end With your ghost in me With your ghost in me, I try With your ghost in me (I try) With your ghost in me (I try) With your ghost in me, I try (I try) With your ghost in me (I try)

I’ll ruin us all I’ll ruin us all I’ll ruin us all Your sister’s chagrin For this cold-blooded rogue Lay ruin to them Lay ruin to you Each dollar is equal Each hour is different Your time has come For a knife in the front Dance with me Dance with me Dance with me Dance with me Jump to the left Jump to the right Slide to the left Slide to the right (Indecipherable jabberings) I am the winner. Put your fears in me. You are the knife. I am ready. (Indecipherable jabberings) I am the knife I am the knife I am the knife I am the knife I am the knife I am the knife I am the knife I am the knife

Old Love 04:05
lyrics

We been together so long, and it’s only gettin’ better If I write down your flaws, it reads like a love letter We can have sex, or we can make love or if we’re drunk and high, we can just fuck I can’t believe you’re mine Can’t believe you’re mine Can’t believe you’re mine Put your hand in mine Baby, I accept you Baby, I respect you Trust in how strong we are Old love, we’ve come so far Home is the gravity of who you adore I don’t feel home until you walk through the door I’m crazy, you have your psycho moments But we’re healthier together, cuz we help each other notice I can’t believe you’re mine Can’t believe you’re mine Can’t believe you’re mine Put your hand in mine Baby, I accept you Baby, I respect you Trust in how strong we are Old love, we’ve come so far If you leave, I’ll try to be mature about it Take your love, I’ll try to endure without it If time brings this forever to an end Let time take my lover but keep my best friend I say something dumb and you get mad But you don’t hold me hostage, you know I feel bad You keep your ears open, and you make me open mine I say I’m sorry, you say it’s fine But I still feel tension, so I try to make you laugh Your lips stay sealed but your smile cracks You give a look that means I’ve been forgiven Then your neck gets kissed and mine gets bitten I can’t believe you’re mine Can’t believe you’re mine Can’t believe you’re mine Put your hand in mine Baby, I accept you Baby, I respect you Trust in how strong we are Old love, we’ve come so far I’d lose it all for you I’d lose it all for you I’d lose it all for you

Never Get Old 02:38

One more piece of advice, I’ll explode I won’t do anything that I am told And if it’s so easy, why don’t you try it If you knew what you were doing Why wouldn’t you monetize it One more night alone, I’ll explode I’m polishing my memories like they’re made of gold I miss making love with only conversation Found the fountain of youth in intimate flirtation I won’t die until I’m old I won’t die until I’m old I’m young (Never get old, never get old) I’m young (Never get old, never get old) Have a thought Crumble it up Go for a walk I can’t get enough of myself I’m doing fine, I’m doing me I let myself be lazy I’m taking only what I need I’d rather go broke than crazy I miss my friends who are already dead I try to make time for them in my head I try to honor them by looking at the trees I try to honor them by doing what I please I won’t die until I’m old I won’t die until I’m old I’m young I’m young I’m young (Don’t get old, don’t get old) I’m young (Don’t get old, don’t get old) Never get old, never get old Never get old, never get old

The Crush 06:22

Everything is puppies and guillotines I’m hanging out with everyone I’ve ever known I’m looking at the ceiling Listening to music for the first time in my life Being without a computer Trading one sense for another Spend my daylight savings Drifting my eyes open to close Then the crush comes I’m going blind A sound so beautiful The trumpets of heaven Blaring in my face Blaring in my face Show me something wonderful I’m in love with every girl I’ve ever known You feel like headphones You sound like a camera Fuck me like a monster Show me something hideous God you’re ethereal, god you’re a heretic I put all my faith in you Then the crush comes I’m going blind A girl so beautiful An angel of heaven Staring at my face Staring at my face Like, subscribe, follow, add, updated user policy Target market, user data, sign up - get your first month free Robo calls, solicitation, junk mail, notification Cookies, browsing, terms, conditions, new weekly recommendations Order now, send later, read receipt, photo, favorite Add to cart, drag and drop, swipe left, checkout, block Mark as read, empty trash, double click, clear your cache File, edit, view, help, Twitter, Facebook, Insta, Yelp Login, password, touch ID, stop, protect your privacy Account number, routing number, social security First, Last, City, State, Zip, mother’s maiden name First pet, best friend, your childhood street View profile, get more info, don’t disturb, close all windows Add to cal, remind me later, stream, share, calculator Delete, shift, command, return, control, option, tab, enter Download, charge, lock, airplane mode, restart, reboot, refresh, reload (In my head…) (I believe in you…) (I love you…) (What are we doing?...)

Breathe in Breathe out For me, for you Baby, put yourself to sleep Don’t worry Calm down I’m here, you’re there Baby, put your mind at ease One more lullabye One last time I miss you I miss you Every night Pure caffeine Pasture sheep I can’t sleep Good morning Goodbye To sweet dreams without you To falling asleep tonight

I spent a year in the dark I used my ears to find my way I lived in an arc It flooded for 365 and 1 days But when the year was done And the black gave way to gray I could feel the sun From 93 million miles away I don’t tell you enough But you’re beautiful I don’t say it enough But I’m grateful Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

about

The 2nd Way is one guy smushing his multiple musical personalities together. The debut, self-titled album is equal parts groove, dissonance, acoustic twang, electronic grandeur, bubblegum bop, and gothic anxiety.
