Josh - Solo
A room filled up with faces and the air's so thick, I taste it. Locking lips like they are wasted, tangled hips like it's a spaceship.

It's a known fact that Josh has anxiety, which means he can get overwhelmed easily.

Heavy heads are racing down the hallways to the basement, where the darkness fills the space and they can feel themselves erasing.

Often, with anxiety (or depression), things that are supposed to be fun... just aren't fun anymore.

Can you feel yourself erasing?

And you can lose yourself a bit. In the panic, the pressure.

They're bursting at the corners, and the ceiling's getting shorter. And I'm stuck between a talker and a VHS recorder. The heat seeps through the border as our ice melts down to water.

Sometimes, he just wants to get out.

Can you feel it getting smaller?

It gets claustrophobic, he doesn't know what to do. He needs out.

I need to be solo. Freedom in the mono. Find a space and let go. I need to be solo. Solo.

He's about to explode. Then, you find him.

Now I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out. Breathing in and I'm breathing out. I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out. Breathing in and I'm breathing out.

He calms down ever so slightly and you grab his hand, pulling him out.

Their mouths are dripping dryer as their souls are slipping higher. It's like treading on a wire laced with kerosene and fire. The night will soon expire as their bodies soon retire. Limbs entangled in kaleidoscopes of prima donna choirs.

Once he's out, the pressure lessens, but he's struggling.

I need to be solo. Freedom in the mono. Find a space and let go. I need to be solo. Solo.

You step back and give him space.

Now I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out. Breathing in and I'm breathing out. I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out. Breathing in and I'm breathing out.

"Breathe with me," you say. "In. And out. In. And out."

I need to be solo. (Breathing in and I'm breathing out.) Freedom in the mono. (Breathing in and I'm breathing out.) Find a space and let go. (Breathing in and I'm breathing out.) I need to be solo. Solo.

After some time, he finally calms down. It's no question that it'd be best if you went back home.

I need to be solo. (Breathing in and I'm breathing out.) Freedom in the mono. (Breathing in and I'm breathing out.) Find a space and let go. (Breathing in and I'm breathing out.) I need to be solo. Solo.

"I'm sorry," he says.

You shake your head, grabbing his hand. "It's not your fault."

Tyler - Ultralife
Lovesick the beat inside my head. Waves struck a sea of bitterness. Lights out, solo in the blue. Before I found you.

You are Tyler were both going through a... rough patch before you met each other.

Days passed slowly, lost and low. You gave me hope and now there's only blood running in my veins. I've never been here before. And I got love falling like the rain. I never could've asked for more.

Needless to say, that changed.

I got so much soul inside my bones. Take a look at me now. I am young, forever in the sun. Ever since you came, I'm living ultralife.

You make each other happy; you changed each other's perspectives on life.

Turn down the voice inside my head 'cause Heaven only knows why we feel this emptiness. But I will climb out, find another view. Now I've found you.

It wasn't 100% better, definitely not at first. But something changed. Brightened up, ever so slowly.

Days passed slowly, lost and low. You gave me hope and now there's only blood running in my veins. I've never been here before. And I got love falling like the rain. I never could've asked for more.

Meeting each other felt like a dream come true.

I got so much soul inside my bones. Take a look at me now. I am young, forever in the sun. Ever since you came, I'm living ultralife.

It didn't take long to fall in love.

Found me on a basement floor back when I had lost it all. Told me what the fight was for, and I'm not giving up no more.

You found each other at your lower points, and without even realizing it, you lifted each other up.

You elevate the life in me, illuminate the in-between. Forever gonna feel this free, and I'm not giving up now.

You couldn't imagine being with anyone else.

Lovesick the beat inside my head. Waves struck a sea of bitterness. Lights out solo in the blue, but now I've found you.

He turned your world upside down, and you changed his life.

Blood running in my veins. I've never been here before. And I got love falling like the rain. I never could've asked for more. I got so much soul inside my bones. Take a look at me now. I am young, forever in the sun. Ever since you came, I'm living ultralife.
