Hell 04:13
This Is hell I might as well face it It's the truth I might as well embrace it But things have to get dark for you to appreciate the light All of your thoughts They are just ganging up on you You have to forgive yourself You're doing the best that you can do You have to focus on what you can control (chorus) When your spirit is swallowed whole Separate your body from your soul Only good deeds redeemed But there's a lesson to be gleaned only if you believe I've noticed things That I didn't notice before The weeks are long Searching for something more But the only thing worse Is blaming yourself for why you are here (chorus) But I'm never gonna never gonna never gonna learn a goddamn thing But I'm never gonna never gonna never gonna learn a goddamn thing But I'm never gonna never gonna never gonna learn a goddamn thing But why's it all on me? I've endured insanity For you to be free

Future 02:58
You have to work You have to try You have to work on yourself Or your gonna die These times are dark But only you write your narrative Still want control Still have a few more fucks to give Your world is constructed to lose your mind Keep it together or fall behind (chorus) And I know you feel the way I do Time won't break the bonds that are holding you Back in fear Ruminate on the past Feel dread for the future Nothing ever lasts What's real you can never be too sure Change will happen Like it or not Keep it together feel grateful for what you got (chorus) (bridge) Fear to let it go When your seratonin is low Will you stick with what you know? And let it burn you down

Doing Fine 04:18
You say it's going to be all right I don't know how to prove that You ask me if I'm doing all right? I don't know how to answer that Doing fine I guess You say it's going to be okay I don't know where I'm at Think of things a different way I don't know how to do that Doing fine I guess (chorus) Maybe I'll start giving a fuck Cause you say I'm always down on my luck Well there's a world outside Where everyone's got something to hide Where you can't wear your thoughts on your sleeve Things happen for a reason I don't know what your talking about Your toxic positivity Is really bumming me out That's fine I guess (chorus) Maybe I'll start giving a fuck Cause you say I'm always down on my luck Well there's a world outside Where everyone's got something to hide Where you can't muster a little bit of honesty (solo) (chorus) Maybe I'll start giving a fuck Maybe everything won't always suck Well there's a world outside That's getting a little harder to reside That's making me anxious like you wouldn't believe
4.
I am different now I'm not the same I am different now And you couldn't see the change Or is this who I've always been And you didn't have the heart to tell me then I believed in things I don't anymore I believed in things But there are facts you can't ignore And so I became an overly cautious scatterbrain Kicking myself for the hell of it My thoughts fall into a dark pit But it's okay You don't have to be right It's okay Whatever helps you sleep at night There's a version of myself that's emerging That you turned your back to while paths were diverging But it's okay You don't have to be right It's okay Whatever helps you sleep at night
5.
Maybe in another life There answers are right in front of me Maybe in another life I'm the person that I thought I'd be Maybe in another life You would actually be in love with me Maybe in another life We'd communicate openly (Chorus) I know it's too much to ask Foundations not built to last Maybe in another life Our plans are completely in sync Maybe in another life You would care what I think Maybe in another life You would mean what you say Maybe in another life You would say what you mean (chorus) I know it's too much to ask Foundations not built to last but I would like to dream But I would like to believe That words are words Actions ring true Whatever you want there's follow through Maybe in another life Do you believe? Maybe in another life Do you believe? Maybe in another life

Work Week 03:37
I'm drunk on a Tuesday I'm getting in my own way Well fuck this day Afraid of the dumb things I might say Can't ever see the things simmering underneath I'm just trying to get through the work week I can't focus on shit today I can't hear a damn word you say Nothing against you I don't understand what got me here But I'll try to make hay At the very least I'll learn something I'm just trying to get through the work week Life just kicks your ass sometimes Getting shitfaced is one way to get through it I can't keep track of time Pissing it away is the only choice that seems to fit I can move on I can try But my thoughts are so fucked I can live or die By my choices In too deep I can't dig myself out cause the hill's too steep meditation, talk therapy, good intentions but I can't decide what's good for me what's good for you? You won't be honest with me I'm just trying to get through the work week
7.
Love In Vain 03:41
I'll admit that I no longer understand you And I don't know where to begin But I can no longer reprimand you Cause there's a good chance that I'll never see you again And I think about the days we spent together They are all still fond memories Like walking through Oslo in autumn weather Love blinds you to the point where you can't see (Chorus) Love In Vain Don't take me for granted Love In Vain Don't be so cruel All these years and I end up the fool I can't believe two years I didn't see it Preoccupied by what's on TV Numbed my brain so much that I couldn't feel it I believed in you and you didn't believe in me (Chorus) (solo) (Chorus)

about

Miranova’s third full-length LP “What Now?” is the band’s first departure from the home studio and its most ambitious album to date. Pursuing richer and more complex concepts, Miranova enlisted the help of Jon Fintel of Relay Recording to engineer, produce, and mix the record. Douglas wrote “What Now?” while in quarantine and coming to terms with a breakup. The album explores grief, isolation, and hope through a bigger repertoire of sounds and instruments. The songs float from scuzzy garage rock tunes to country and western-style ballads to communicate different modes of survival within and against the American condition.
