Trust myself, no one else
But I got some doubts if I’m being honest
On a quest, no regrets
Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest
Times up, times out, a whisper becomes a shout
I will be heard I will say every word
Forget the way I was taught to behave
No need to forgive, all I gotta do is
Trust myself, no one else
But I got some doubts if I’m being honest
What a mess, all the stress
Thought I had the strength but I think I’ve lost it
Hold my breath, only yes
Gotta find the confidence but keep it modest
On a quest, no regrets
Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest
Turn up, tune in, a revolution will begin
Stand up, stand tall, attitude says it all
Must right what’s wrong, I won’t play along
No need to forgive, all I gotta do is
Trust myself, no one else
But I got some doubts if I’m being honest
What a mess, all the stress
Thought I had the strength but I think I’ve lost it
Hold my breath, only yes
Gotta find the confidence but keep it modest
On a quest, no regrets
Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest
Turn up the volume, I will not be quiet
Freedom’s around the corner, I know I can find it
Leave the indecision deciding who I am
Leave the hesitation, I think I should I think I can
Trust myself, no one else
But I got some doubts if I’m being honest
What a mess, all the stress
Thought I had the strength but I think I’ve lost it
Hold my breath, only yes
Gotta find the confidence but keep it modest
On a quest, no regrets
Gotta trust myself if I’m being honest

Standing on the sidelines of myself
Just watching everyone else
Who’s to say when I play
I got a jersey with no name
I’ll never be the one to say I want it when I want it when I want it
I’ll always be the one to say I can’t do what I can do
I’ll never be the one to say never say never say never
I’ll always be the one who wonders if always is always true
Waiting for a sign is a waste of time
When I can find one in my mind
Who’s to say where I should go
I got a heart looking for a home
I’ll never be the one to say I want it when I want it when I want it
I’ll always be the one to say I can’t do what I can do
I’ll never be the one to say never say never say never
I’ll always be the one who wonders if always is always true
I’ll never be the one to say I want it when I want it when I want it
I’ll always be the one to say I can’t do what I can do
I’ll never be the one to say never say never say never
I’ll always be the one who wonders if always is always true

I never wake up early, I only wake up late
I never need the sunshine, I only need the rain
I leave my coffee black, I leave the radio on
I leave it on a station where I don’t have to sing along
Take me out of my skin so I can learn what’s happening
I got all of these layers to me telling me who I should be
Take me out of my skin so I can learn what’s happening
I got all of these layers to me but who knows what’s underneath
Who knows your inside out more than your outside in
Who knows your inside out more than your outside in
I go out in the world, and I get my checklist done
But you should see my hard drive, it’s not like anyone’s
And I drive too fast, but it’s not for speed
I get ahead of myself like you wouldn’t believe
Take me out of my skin so I can learn what’s happening
I got all of these layers to me telling me who I should be
Take me out of my skin so I can learn what’s happening
I got all of these layers to me but who knows what’s underneath
Who knows your inside out more than your outside in
Who knows your inside out more than your outside in
Who knows your inside out more than your outside in
Who knows your inside out more than your outside in
I put myself to bed, I try to live my dreams
Under the covers, who knows what’s underneath

Sometimes I feel I’m at a loss for words
I hear it in my head but it comes out blurred
Tongue-tied to find, tongue-tied to find
What’s on my mind
If you only knew that the only thing I know is here between us
I’m still holding strong even if my mouth can’t speak up
I know I got it in my heart, I'm still holding strong
I know I got it in my heart, even if my mouth can't speak up
I know the things to say to make it right
But knowing and doing are like day and night
Tongue-tied to find, tongue-tied to find
What’s on my mind
If you only knew that the only thing I know is here between us
I’m still holding strong even if my mouth can’t speak up
I know I got it in my heart, I'm still holding strong
I know I got it in my heart, even if my mouth can't speak up
Is saying nothing better than saying it wrong
Is seeming weak really being strong
Is saying something better than nothing at all
Is taking the leap worth taking the fall
If you only knew that the only thing I know is here between us
I’m still holding strong even if my mouth can’t speak up
I know I got it in my heart, I'm still holding strong
I know I got it in my heart, even if my mouth can't speak up
I’m still holding strong, even if my mouth can’t speak up

Half true, more or less, 100% of the time
Half true, more or less, 100% of the time
Hello fear, you are my home
You’re all that I know
Hello weakness, you make me strong
You’re writing this song
Don’t lose sleep but don’t sleep too long
Everything that’s right is everything that’s wrong
The faster I move the slower I go
The more that I learn the less that I know
I’m younger than my future, I’m older than my past
I’m coming in first, I’m coming out last
Undo undoing, undo undoing, undo undoing
Goodbye arrogance, you are my leash
You’re nothing I need
Goodbye answers, you’re nothing but questions
I won’t invest in
Don’t lose sleep but don’t sleep too long
Everything that’s right is everything that’s wrong
The faster I move the slower I go
The more that I learn the less that I know
I’m younger than my future, I’m older than my past
I’m coming in first, I’m coming out last
Undo undoing, undo undoing, undo undoing
Undo undoing, undo undoing, undo undoing
Undo undoing, undo undoing, undo undoing,
Undo undoing, undo undoing, undo undoing
Undo undoing

We’re ecstatic to share 'Hello Weakness, You Make Me Strong: The Remixes,' a collection of songs that break down and then build back up their original conceptions. A series of deconstructed constructions, these interpretations make us both want to move our bodies and embrace our stillness all at once. Thank you to the artists, Ian Chang, S. Carey, Sombear, and Future Generations, for putting such thoughtful spins on our sounds and reminding us to keep unlearning in the process. We were inspired by their work to remix one of the songs ourselves, a first for us and an experience that felt like exploring a lost future. In song-making there are often a number of routes we can go, and while we always hope the direction we take is the one the song is asking for most, we sometimes wonder what other life it could have lived had it gone the other way. Thanks to this process, we got to explore firsthand one of those formerly untaken paths. We hope these songs take you down your own varying roads.
