Baby I’m staring and it makes me weak Tossing and turning, lacking sleep I’m so self-assured yet so insecure She’s got a cover shot face but I’ve got a lot more He’s skinny and gross I can see his bones He’s pretty to me We’re both in the same boat I can’t help but stare Hearts in my eyes We’ve never spoken But I’ve tried 
 The way you move When you graze against my skin It’s all on you And the feeling you give I’m tired of tripping on all of my thoughts Bet you are too, we’re so insecure I know that I’m mad for looking at you Back and fourth like the way that I do And then when you touched me all over my neck I knew that you liked me although I’m a wreck And calmed me with kisses, broke down my wall We’ve never spoken, what do we need that for?

 
It’s all on you It’s all on you It’s all on you It’s all on you 
It’s all on you
 (and the feeling you give) 
It’s all on you 
(and the feeling you give) 
It’s all on you 
(and the feeling you give) 
It’s all on you 
(and the feeling you give) It’s all on you 
(and the feeling you give) 
It’s all on you 
(and the feeling you give) 
It’s all on you…

Floating 03:37
I’ve got a sense of what I want and what I need And all else that is in between One foot in the door's not enough but all I can give Don’t know where my other foot is Save money, buy a home Be in a band, or be alone Don’t drink, eat well Be with you, or be in hell I’ve got no sense in continuity Where is my sense? Can count all of my weaknesses What are my strengths? 
Can only love in the light When it’s dark I miss out on you You can ruin me with so little words And build me up just as quick too I’m not anywhere (I’m floating) I’m not anywhere (I’m floating) I’m not anywhere (I’m floating) I’m not anywhere (I’m floating) Don't drink Eat well 
Be with you or be in hell

The Dream 03:48


Without consequence I’d live Without fear I’d also live No overwhelming, overbearing Worry and concerns occurring They’ll all die ahead of me I’ll never go back overseas My paranoia is extreme And there goes my self-esteem Multiple bruises on my legs Two jobs and only one paycheck Struggle to pay bills and pay rent Is this the dream am I there yet? 
My confusion is heating up My choices are open enough This luxury that I complain Is driving me to be insane 

 
Which way to go? Have I lost hope? The fantasy Is real to me The path I take Is gonna break The time it took I misunderstood 
Misunderstood
 

Am I there yet? Am I there yet? Am I there yet?

Unclear 04:16
Everything is so unclear Yet I don’t have any fear This is far too good to feel Questioning, it’s so surreal I can’t place it
 I can’t erase it Just embrace it 
Stuck in a shoebox And I think it’s locked Please knock
 Are the clouds changing shape? Rearranging in every way
 Will this intoxication last? Define the future from my past

 I can’t place it
 I can’t erase it Just embrace it 
Stuck in a shoebox And I think it’s locked Please knock Unsuccess with letting go 
Need this treasure, hold me close 
Can you read me well enough? Can you sense it from my touch?
 I can’t place it
 I can’t erase it Just embrace it 
Stuck in a shoebox And I think it’s locked Please knock It's a little unclear Where do I steer? Stay near Gotta handle it Dismantle it Forget about it Forget about it Forget about it Forget about it

Fiction 04:25
You run hot in my mind Words from you pass the time I’ve put a lid on my heart I knew what this was from the start
 
When I feel you getting close Under the city lights the most Shivers down my spine You never were, or will be, mine

 
When you’re here, it’s all clear And I need you to know When the time comes and you’re done I will let you go
 I’ll shut off and power down Just like Windows And place every piece of our time In the shadows 
It’s in the way you look at me
 Full of fear and uncertainty 
Will you ever drop your guard? And show me all of your cards? 
I can sense the way you feel Wrapped up in this ordeal Wrapped up in my blankets Wrapped up in me 

 Who are you? 
A phantom You’re fiction I’m crazy
 Who are you? Explain it My favourite Imagery Consuming Alluring 
Addictive
 You threw me 
Who are you? 
A phantom You’re fiction I’m crazy


about

Plan for an Independent Future is an attempt to be better, to open up when your head is screaming with fear and insecurity. It touches on self-loathing, desire and desperation while painfully trying to remain hopeful.
