What Else 03:23
I don’t know, what I want, but I want what’s coming to me Hold my breath, then I jump Don’t really know what’s waiting beneath What Else am I to do I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place And can’t pull through I might, be falling apart Rock bottom as a new start While taking shots in the dark I don’t have much to say Than what I’ve been feeling lately Just wanna pave My own way, since there’s no path waiting For me
3.
I’ve been on the run Stumbling forward Tripping on one What have I become, sometimes I can’t help it When I’m dumb And the crime fit the decree Doing time by spending it with me And sometimes I find it much easier To hide away and ignore everything Tried to find peace, but had so much built up Couldn’t release, felt a squeeze on my heart Me, myself, tore us apart

Tom Kelly 02:05
What’s your reaction to future planning Ya know? Not sure what path we’re on This is the answer you know Word gets around faster than you know Oh yeah we can live there, that’s what he said Oh hey, by the way, my whole thoughts like
5.
Easier 04:11
Why you screaming? Why you coughing up a lung Just stop complaining, please My life’s changing, it’s something I’m doing constantly Its gonna happen, it’s in the stars Do you think that it’ll be easier Cos’ you’re the one that I prefer But staying still is something that I can’t do And we see things in a different way But you were never one for the chase But much head is always in the race And I can’t lose I can’t get lonely , I do so well all by myself I really get along some how Think I can make it, I’ve been around a time or two And life’s a crazy merry go round So I’ll play along with this charade But know I’m not to be fooled
6.
Like a Bird 03:25
You were like a bird, you flew away from me Will you ever come back? Will you ever come back to me? I thought I was all you adored I don’t know, what you want any more We were happy, we were good When we’re together the whole world stood Still, I still wanna be with you I still, wanna be with you You were like the snow, you fall down gently All you do is freeze me, freeze me You left me out in the cold The only thing you ever known
7.
You were exactly where you said you were When you called me to pick you up And I closed my eyes, stepped in the puddle outside Filled with mud And you waddled your own way back Promise me it really isn’t as bad as it seems Assured me this one last time Was your last And my head says one more time won’t kill you And if it does you won’t have to answer to Anyone, anyone, anyone that you love You we’re on time when you showed up Twelve steps can seem steep enough To frighten and leave you running scared And I know that times are rough No ambition in particular But you know you don’t wanna brave another day And my head says one more time won’t kill you And if it does you won’t have to answer to Anyone, anyone, anyone that you love And my head says one more time And this time it might be right But you don’t have to answer to anyone
8.
I Fucking Hate You so much For making me fall in love Unintentionally, but you’re braking me down And soon I’ll be six feet underground And there will be no turning down anything from me

Bleed It Out 04:00
You always say that it’s your heart But it’s another body part It worked against me with all its might But I’m pouring it out tonight And I can’t remember when you said sorry But there was one thing that you said to me Bleed It Out right here With every drop and every tear Bleed It Out, over me And the pattern’s repeating And now I’m scared of what you say And what you feel can be so strange But still it’s just not about you Think about what I go through

about

"Hope came at a time in my life when I was desperately searching for it. I found myself not wanting to do music anymore after a rough introduction into the music industry. I didn't feel seen or heard as the artist I was, or at least wanted to be, and I was afraid that if I revealed that part of myself no one would embrace it. At the time I recorded Hope I fully believed it would be the last thing anyone would hear from me. Somehow, though, this record just cleared a new chapter for me. The love and fall out from this record completely changed the course of my life in ways I'm not sure anyone other than my close ones could fully understand. There were hard times. There were even harder times. Then there was rock bottom, but the solace this record provided me created a world of strength I wasn't able to tap into until I made it. Hope is a reminder that our paths are completely malleable, even if we get injured carving it out." – Shamir, April 2022
