Explosion 03:04
I'd stop right now I'm a loaded gun My mom lies about me and tells everyone Epitome of a wash-up gone wrong I never knew what I wanted so I went along Full force headed straight for the unknown Second gear on the highway kind of undertone My mind's fast but my body moves so slow I never try new things so I'll never know My friends think I'm a joke, so does society I can't answer the phone cause anxiety People only care when you make it big All the in-between nobody gives a All the signs that I get are indirect I'll make a sacrifice then self-deflect Tolerate the vain and the self-obsessed Calculate the time that I got left I'm cold hearted Don't distract me From the end goal I'll start an explosion I'll start an explosion Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na I've expired I've exhausted my resources And I'm so tired Of trying to be someone else Again Again Again Yeah I'd stop right now I'm a loaded gun My mom lies about me and tells everyone Epitome of a wash-up gone wrong I'm cold hearted Don't distract me From the end goal I'll start an explosion I'll start an explosion I'm cold hearted Don't distract me From the end goal I'll start an explosion I'll start an explosion Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Start an explosion Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Na, Na Na Na Start an explosion Oh my god

Powerless 03:24
I'm powerless Like a bunch of fives, how am I alive? I'm bodiless In a nameless town where I run around Oh I'm powerless No one looks for me Been missing for weeks And I Could die But you Don't know How it feels I'm powerless I've got no place that I call home I'm a wanderess In a different town that I mispronounce And I Could die But you Don't know How it feels And I Could die But you Don't know How it feels Woah Ooh But you Oh I'm powerless And I Could die But you Don't know How it feels

And it feels like everybody's mad at me The one things I do right, they don't count You told me lately I'm not easy to be around Well maybe if you asked me you'd find out That I'm not doing well I'm disappointing myself Get me out of this place I can't stay here any longer I'm no longer wanted I'm no longer needed I'm just here to mess this up And it feels like everybody's mad at me Seven-year-old me is disappointed That I never took a plane over the border But I flew across the world for someone else And now I'm stuck Get me out of this place I can't stay here any longer I'm no longer wanted I'm no longer needed I'm just here to mess this up And it gets better if you make it I can't help it, I just can't shake it And it gets better if you make it Stop overthinking You're not hated Get me out of this place I can't stay here any longer I'm no longer wanted I'm no longer needed I'm just here to mess this up And it feels like everybody's mad at me

Driving the ocean route Riding on the shoulder, on the shoulder It's not what I was told to do They'll be disappointed I took a detour Always do things that they want me to Taylor never ever got where she is by playing by the rules Turn up the radio in the car I don't wanna think about it anymore Don't start now I'm trying to figure it out I'm trying to figure it out Slow down, I don't know where I am now My headlights are broken I'll fix my own accidents I don't need a backseat driver Driving the ocean route I can see the corner, see the corner Trying to make it out of here My intrusive thoughts are in the rear-view I do things I only want to do Halsey never ever got where they are by playing by the rules Turn up the radio in the car I don't wanna think about it anymore Don't start now I'm trying to figure it out I'm trying to figure it out Slow down, I don't know where I am now My headlights are broken I'll fix my own accidents I don't need a backseat driver Stop signs, yellow lights Sunsets and power lines Break free from routine No one tells me who to be Stop signs, yellow lights Sunsets and power lines Break free from routine No one tells me who to be Don't start now I'm trying to figure it out I'm trying to figure it out Slow down, I don't know where I am now My headlights are broken I'll fix my own accidents I don't need a backseat driver A backseat driver Backseat driver

Old Wounds 03:19
I'd drive by your house And count the minutes from yours to mine Hate going back there Cause I knew you weren't fully mine And I know I was young But I couldn't understand why you'd hurt me You didn't deserve me But like a needle on a thread you repaired me Yeah you got me Now I'm opening old wounds Yeah I'm opening old wounds Still can't listen to 'Somebody Like You' My heart still hides Cause it reminds me of The night you left me behind And I know we were young But I couldn't understand why you'd hurt me You didn't deserve me But like a needle on a thread you repaired me Now you got me But still I'm opening old wounds (Opening old wounds, opening old wounds) Yeah I'm opening old wounds (Opening old wounds, opening old wounds) And I stopped counting The minutes from your house to mine Cause I knew that you weren't leaving This time But still I'm opening old wounds (Opening old wounds, opening old wounds) Yeah I'm opening old wounds (Opening old wounds, opening old wounds) And interacting with her hurts me I told you, I told you And I still love you hunny But the past comes near and I fold to The old you But you're better I forgive you I promise
