"Goodnight" (Instrumental DEMO Ver.)

I closed my eyes and let myself sink
It helps me think
I'm on the brink

There's nothing left to say and so
All of this hope
Will have to go

Pontificate upon my fetishes
I will not bow, I will not break
You and I are running out of time
The time we have is what we waste

And so I wake...

I put the gun against my head
And thought of you and laid this down again
Will you be there to see me off?
I feel so lost; just let me fall

Tell me I'm to blame and that I went too far
I will not bow, I will not break
You and I will say goodbye tonight
Tonight, we separate
Seems it's our fate

You're the goddess of the dawn
I see you every morning 
With the rising sun
And every star it seems has
Ordered you to run,
Just run from everything
'Cause you're the only one,
The only thing I love

But now we're trading lives,
One of us is taken
Through the test of time,
The other held in place
Tonight, I wanna die
God, let me have my way
Tonight, I wanna die
The stars don't close their eyes...

Opening my eyes, I see a wolf
With eyes of smoke, high in the sky
The morning light has said your name again
And all the stars don't close their eyes

And you were buried deep within the forest
With flowers all around you as you slept
And I woke up to thought of doing this again
It's been five fucking years since then

And yet I wake...

Cloistered

I wanna pull your hairs out of the sink
And make you breakfast
I wanna scratch your back and fight you
For the blanket
I wanna push you on the stairs
And catch you as you say
That all I do is play


And all your paintings from the first grade
Are hung up on my fridge
Next to the IOU's, electric bills, and grocery list

Why are you waiting for a poem from me
'Cause I have changed
And in three years, I still won't be the same


Oh, what a great idea
It gave me much to chew on
Like the time that you made eggs with too much mustard
Living in sin
Just to see how this ends
I guess I found out the hard way


I wanna tell you that I have no words
Of comfort for you
I wanna make you cry and not know
How to fix a damn thing
And now my fridge is just a place that holds
Expired groceries
But cleaning gets rewarding if you sing


And now my sink is full of dishes
And they're free of lashes
Although my blanket's still too small for me

And when I'm coming up the stairs,
I wonder if you found out where I live
And if you're only here to clean

Lansing

standing patient as i hold the door
and a breeze kisses my cheek as it strolls on through
wave and smile to everyone i know
but the only one i see
is you

what is a cup without wine?
it's when you don't say what's on your mind 
and when it overflows, i'm asking what i've done
and every time i smile at someone,
it's like i'm in love with everyone

somewhere out there
i don't wanna see nobody else
it took so long to get here by myself

opening up to everyone
darling, i didn't catch your name
to see a thousand futures with a stranger
and wonder if you ever do the same

i'll be the lightning if you'll be the sun
give em a show like ready, set, run
you ask if i'm free or just having fun
here's to the girls that nobody wants
you ask if i got what i want
and if i've fallen in love
it's like i'm in love with everyone.

In Love With Everyone

Caught in a daydream again
Of chasing after ghosts
So let's play pretend
You'll be the lonely girl in need
I'll play the hero, the kind that I don't want to be

Look at me
You ready?
Take it slow
Then let go

Hide away with me from the past
I'm not your first lover,
I won't be your last
Open up now, I command
I'll act like I'm better
Whether or not I'm your man

I've hurt you
Liked it, too
Just like you
Now, round two

Tonight, let's pretend this is fun
Tonight, we can act how we want
Let's drink and get close and get high
I will blow smoke in your eyes

I love you
Oh, so strong and developed,
But I'll humble you!
I've crossed a line
That's not me
It's just someone I thought that I wanted to be
Lost so much time

Tonight, let's pretend I'm your man
Tonight, let's act like this won't end
Tonight, let's make up all the lies
Tonight, I'll blow smoke in your eyes
