Ain’t it funny how it worked out?
Well, my friends all had their doubts,
They said that’s the reason why we quit, not the reason why we fit,
Well did it seem to you, all I ever wanted to be used, you must be confused

But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream
But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream

Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me?

Da da da da, Mmmhmm
Da da da da, Mmmhmm

Should’ve known you were trouble way back when, 
I wish I had listened to them, listened to my friends
But I've always been the one to go for the guys who always tell the lies
Wonder if I’ll ever learn or if I’ll ever realise

But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream
But that’s fine with me, I guess I was only a daydream

Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me? 
Do you ever think of me?

Da da da da, Mmmhmm
Da da da da, Mmmhmm

You say you get a lot of attention 
Is that the only reason you’re confessing, 
That you’re over and gone and clearly moving on,
But is there something else that you forgot to mention
I don't want to try and aim to be perfection,
Just for a minute of your time and your affection 
But it’s fine, you’re no longer mine...
I’ve been wondering if you ever think of me?

Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?

A Cave in the inside

Nightwalk

Sticks and stones may break my bones 
But words can kill my soul 
I could sleep outside don’t need a home 
Just need to fill this hole 
instruct myself to self destruct 
So I feel in control 
Its been so long since things went wrong 
When can I feel whole 
Its beautiful 
The way it falls apart 
ive never seen pain be that intoxicating.
its horrible 
The way it comes together 
When you know it won’t work out forever.  
Step by step we move along 
To the beat of our own song
Everyone hears different music 
Nothings right or wrong 
So keep it moving keep it goin
Dont slow ur down pace 
i try to hurry up but just end up 
Running in place
motivated by the pain I feel 
When I see ur face
I still think ur beautiful 
It just isnt the same

guest harmonies on "Meet Me in Montauk" - em (soundcloud.com/user-45768148) 

meet me in my dreams again tonight 
you could watch the sunrise while i see it through your eyes 

was it yours or was it mine, the drink that i just spilled? 
i wonder what’s up in your mind, but your eyes make me ill 

i'm filled with love 

i’ll build you a house out of clouds 
where we can sit around and talk about the town you used to live in as a kid 

meet me in montauk tonight, my love 
i might wanna forget you, but don’t let me forget you 

i’m filled with love 

meet me by the lake tonight, my heart 
we could splash around or we could try to not drown 

watch me as i miserably avoid doing the same with you 
cause i swear i’ll jump and i swear that i won’t come back up

Lyrics:

If I forget where I am 
when I wake up, I close my eyes
Sometimes it's better to hide the emotions 
and stay inside

im by myself you missed your chance
i knew that u would leave me here again
to decay all on my own
to portray this all alone
my visions they have grown
as you were yet to show

induced by your simplicities
and everythig u said to me
it dragged me back to memories
of when we first met
and when we first kissed
my lips have never felt so numb

you take the pain away
might blow my brain today
i'm i alive today?
i don't even know myself
i'm so worried for my health
and i know u miss the way it use to feel
and the way it felt so real

im by myself you missed your chance
(Alone again)
i knew that u would leave me here again
(Alone again)
to decay all on my own
(Alone again)
to portray this all alone
my visions they have grown
(Alone again)

If I forget where I am 
when I wake up, I close my eyes
Sometimes it's better to hide the emotions 
and stay inside

GUÍA DE CIUDADES INVISIBLES

01. El deseo [El viaje de Rose → Guía de ciudades invisibles]

All I Want (The Offspring)

you know it's hard to open yourself to you 
because I made a lot of mistakes 
I was hurt 
it does not mean that I do not like you 
I just do not want this to happen again. 

maybe you're not like everyone else 
you are better than others 
but I'm fucking scared 
I'm afraid to be alone 
you are better than others 
better than others 

You spoke to me first 
And now you are silent 
I do not know who you really are 

It happened so suddenly 
I do not know what to do 
I was told to go with the flow 
But I find it hard to do

1. 17

'one sky, one destiny ep' coming soon

i need to break away escape this winter cold

among the darkness i find solace

in the cracks along the road 



im letting go

of all i know

ill run in circles hoping i find answers

to everything that i have questions for



forget everything that you think i am

you think you know me but youll never have a clue



reject me

and leave me to the vultures

its getting colder day by day

forget me

and brush me off your shoulder

let the vultures break me down



its half past noon and ive been sleeping on the floor

empty bottles are my closest friends

they dont leave me alone

what the fuck

is the point of this

if all i ever do is bitch and moan

and stay up all night staring at my phone



fuck my head and leave me dead

ive lived and learned and i have bled

for all ive learned and all ive said

the vultures tear me up to shreds

[Lyrics]
In time, I'll be hanging on your nightstand by myself
As I sit in the dust while you lay with someone else
And I wish that you could feel how it felt
Knowing I am just an ornament on your shelf

Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that
I just wish that I could go back
Funny how everything changes
Old feelings, new faces
They say home is where you make it
Resided in you, now it's vacant

Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you're sleeping, you're with someone else
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the door but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away

Now you gotta keep it all in like it's all good
But everything changed when you left me in Oakwood
And if you could take it back I know you would
Won't throw me away when you know you should

Tell me what's real, is it all in my head?
Every night, every word that I said
They say move on but I'm better off dead
How can I sleep when I'm next to your bed?
How can you keep me confined in a frame?
Memories fading, the faces will change
But I still live in your head so I stay
Next to your bed, watch me wither away

Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you're sleeping, you're with someone else
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the door but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away

All alone
In time, I'll be hanging on your nightstand by myself
And I gather dust alone on your shelf

Cause every single day I wanna blame myself
I'm with you when you're sleeping, you're with someone else
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away
And I can feel the pain when you see my face
And you can close the door but that won't change a thing
Every single day you see my colors fade
I'm just that picture that you haven't thrown away

Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that
I just wish that I could go back
Funny how everything changes
Old feelings new faces
They say home is where you make it
Resided in you, now it's vacant

Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
I'm just a burden I know that
I just wish that I could go back
Honestly, you never needed this
I know you've got more that you're dealing with
Honestly, you never needed this
Honestly, you never needed this

Nothing,nowhere - ornament slowed

you’re telling me to
back down
go home
find another way out
but i know that is not what it’s really about
this town smoked out
got your head in the clouds
something’s got me feeling like we’re all going down

you wouldn’t like it if i was just like you
i don’t even like me and i’m nothing like you
i can’t just pretend
that this is time well spent

i try to sleep the day away and say i’m too busy for everything
and everyone cus i’m no fun
rather play roulette with a loaded gun

this is the town that stole my heart
this is the town that ripped it apart
these are the friends i won’t forget
even if they treat me like shit

you’re telling me to
back down
go home
find another way out
but i know that is not what it’s really about
this town washed out
got your head in the clouds
something’s got me feeling like we’re all going down

you wouldn’t like it if i was just like you
i don’t even like me and i’m nothing like you
i can’t just pretend
that this is time well spent
(repeat)

lights on
exposure burns
manipulated
by now i’ve learned
your words mean dirt
trading blows and now you’ll feel the hurt

tough luck
now you fucked up
put your hands up
shoot low
that’s a low blow
time to let go
tough luck
now you fucked up
call it tough love
put your hands up
let’s go
(repeat)

can’t bite the hand that feeds
when it beats out all your teeth
can’t bite the hand that feeds
when it beats out your teeth
