Ride 2.0 02:17
Sometimes my mind gets clogged And darkness lingers like the fog Can't seem to shake the fear That's been building in my head for years And I'll ride To the bay Feel the wind On my face Two wheels glide on concrete Past nameless faces on the beach Sea breeze blows in my ear Trying to wipe my visions of it clear And I'll ride To the bay Feel the wind On my face

Confused 02:27
Well I'm no more Than the crack in the door And this life ain't so bad But it sure ain't like my dreams And I mean what I say Except what I said today Could you see straight through I think I am just confused So confused So confused Wouldn't say I'm happy But not sure how sad Stuck on the roof Maybe I'm just so confused So confused So confused

Crocodile 03:38
Painting Pictures of my Memories I Can see them still But it's so Easy to fall Victim to all The golden hues How can I be so sure That I remember With unclouded view Just like My house and my name They go up in flames Every Moment here is fleeting No use Never finding meaning Woke up Dead in the creek I've been here for weeks Or months at least Croco- -Dile in the stream Flashes its teeth As he looks at me Stranded In the tall grass Breathing gets fast I hear them laugh Fell down Into the pool I've been such a fool Every Memory is fleeting Grip tight The last bit is leaving Make up Your own past and future No one There in the end but You and Yourself

L8er 02:58
I look at the sign on the wall And it tells me I've done nothing at all I say I'll get to it sometime But I know I'm just wasting daylight I'll do it later The clock strikes its hand through my chest It's seen this before guess it knows me best My plan of action is a lie Waiting is all I've done my whole life I'll do it later

Little Guy 03:02
Big plans for a little guy Hiding in the weeds He knows what he wants But he don't know what he needs How can we tell him that he's wrong? How can we tell him that he's wrong? Big plans for a little guy High up in the trees He looks down and sees Only what he wants to see How can I tell him to come down? How can I kill him and not make a sound? Talking in circles Like you have a fucking clue You're filled with hatred Did u know that I am too? Big brain for a little guy He knows right from wrong Always singing out of tune But he swears he wrote the song How can we tell him that he's wrong? No one's gonna save him when he's choking on his tongue Running in circles With your tail between your legs It's coming back to bite you Aiming for your neck The pain you wished on others Now is what you feel Faking your life for the screen I'll show you what's fucking real Big plan for the little guy

Everything is a double edged sword You can't have fun if you ain't been bored You're gonna leave less if you don't take more But what you wanna go and do that for You can't stay long So who cares right vs wrong? Everything is a two way street But the pavement's opening under your feet You can't live long if you can't eat So you work until your bones get weak Something feels wrong But you move along And sing the same old song 'Cause it won't be long Until you're gone Everything is a double edged sword You can't die young if you don't get born Can't have peace if you don't start war But what you wanna go and do that for You know you might Die tonight So why should you fight When it's so bright Can u see the light Burning white

Bleed 03:53
I know it's been the plan all along Pretending like you've done nothing wrong But your friends must know the real you If they don't I think they will soon Don't you think it's about time to Face all the people you have lied to No use covering your tracks up You'll never know how bad you fucked up And I cannot hold my tongue 'Cause you know what you have done You've been lying through your teeth So stop smiling at me I know you'd rather see us bleed If I see you out in public I hope that you can find some regret In your conscience if you have one But sympathy for you I have none I watched you walk into the water Fully clothed your head went under Your feet dragged along the bottom But your sins won't be forgotten And I cannot hold my tongue 'Cause you know what you have done You've been lying through your teeth So stop smiling at me I think I'd rather see you bleed

King of It 02:38
I'm so fucked I'll Steal a truck I'll Drive to Texas Get my head fixed Days are billboards Side of the road And I'm driving With my eyes closed This is my pile of shit But I'm still the king of it Standing on top of it Looking down at the valley below Grow my hair out Fake some new clout Shave my head clean A poser without a scene In the cool grass I sink lower Another toad hiding From the mower This is my pile of shit But I'm still the king of it Standing on top of it The ship is sinking fast But I am still in command You couldn't understand 'Cause my life is in my hands My father told me the way to the promise land
9.
Sa 05:39
I remember the first time I saw you And I don't think that I could have dealt With only being static around you And never knowing how you felt I'll meet you down in the valley Break the mud you've been placed into Cause you are stronger than all of your sadness And I'm always so proud of you Lie down Alyssa You've already made it through so much I'll lay here with ya You're the only one who deserves my love It's not easy to see you hurting When healing your pain is all I want to do But as soon as you smile it's all worth it And i know it will get better for you Lie down Alyssa You've already made it through so much I'll lay here with ya You're the only one who deserves my love Lie down Alyssa Rest your head for now you've been through enough I'll lay here with ya I know no one else who deserves more love

Dead End 02:43
I I had big plans for today But I forgot them along the way Guess they were stupid anyway You Make me feel like I'm someone On our own trip round the sun But what happens when it's done There There is nothing after this The future doesn't exist A constant walk into the mist I don't feel the way I did back then I'm too young to feel like maybe I'm approaching a dead end I need more but I can't wait for some god send 'Cause god is dead but I'm alive and I will never be again High Ways are littered with crosses Where the bumper bit the ditch No he can't save you from this My Eyes are glued to the pavement Now the white lines start to bend But I can't change direction There's Only one tree on the hill Under it my blood will spill Another prophecy fulfilled I don't feel the way I did back then I'm too young to feel like maybe I'm approaching a dead end I need more but I can't wait for some god send 'Cause god is dead but I'm alive and I will never be again
11.
Fake It 03:10
Well my head was on the blade And my time was judgement day But I knew just what to say What to do to let me stay I know How to make it 'Cause i know How to fake it Come down sit by my stream Tell you stories of my dreams Running backwards through the scenes Not as deep as I make it seem I know How to make it 'Cause i know How to fake it I know All about it How could You doubt it

"Conor Lynch’s long-awaited full-length effort 'Fake' marks something of a departure and widening of scope for Lynch, with the folk-rock stylings of his 2019 sophomore 'People Don’t Think It Be Like It Is but it Do and Don’t' newly accompanied by heavier tones and unexpected instrumental flourishes. Across its 35 minute runtime, tracks twist breathlessly between indie rock, country and electronic pop, complete with double-time thrash choruses and face-melting guitar solos."
