the morning light shines a lifeline
escape is what i need
i shouldve listened last night girl
this is beyond belief
that we keep falling for the lure of
liquid confidence and lights
and we skydive from walls we built
dying just to feel alive

on the way down screamin
woah
if all we have is time then well be alright
its not much but its better than nothing
were running on fumes but well make it through the night
its not love but its better than dreaming

oh im on fire
theres a burning in my bones
and in my eyes these dreams theyre taking hold
i just need time

building walls to burn them down
canon balls to watch me drown
youve got me lost in here and now
youve got me lost in lost and found
we only hang in evenings
and i dont know what im thinking
but i know that i wont think it
if i keep up with this thinking
all these dreams and all these plans
we shared under the moonlight
theyre dreams and plans that i have
i just dont know if youll fit right
when i leave in the morning
and i kiss you and say goodnight
i kick myself until we kick it
shouldve told you goodbye

coming home so late at night
with clothes covered in sand
i dont know just what im thinking
but im doing what i can
and if all we have is time then we will find

if all we have is time then well be alright
its not much but its better than nothing
were running on fumes but well make it through the night
its not love but its better than dreaming



i think you think too much of me

so tell me this is who you are
they tell me ive got something more
and oh you could be loved
but i dont want the lights to find me when im dark and lost
but never on my own

cos i just wanna swing like sinatra
singing like i cant stop
cos i could never rock like a rolling stone
i just wanna live like the ones before
and maybe i could play guitar like hendrix
or save the world or end it
and then maybe youll remember me when im gone
thats all i could ever want
thats all i want

so i got ten minutes to be all or nothing to
whoever wants to hear
and i got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat till im burnt out and disappear
but i owe you nothing
and i own my luck
oh they said youll never be alone again
but i dont think you understand me or what i fear
but you could be loved
but i dont want to lie to tell myself
im more than all the mistakes ive out run

cos im only here for a minute
and i dont care what you say cos i know
youre only here cos im winning
but i can be my own kind of rock and roll like
i dont really care if you say you dont fuck with me
and i can say what the fuck i want cos its down to me
and i got love for you even if you are doubting me
like oh my god i just cant stop

cos i just wanna sing like sinatra
with ethanol my soundtrack
cos i could never rock like a rolling stone
i wonder how it feels to burn out young
cos i just wanna die before my heart fails
from heartbreak or cocktails and
then maybe youll cry once you know im gone
thats all i could ever want
oh thats all i want

cos i aint scared of living
i aint scared of living
no i aint scared of living
cos its all weve got
what are we breathing for if we aint living
and i dont want your love
i just want to feel like im still living
and if there is no god
ill know the day i die i lived through heaven
and that i gave it hell
and if it hurt oh well at least thats living

thats all i want

sex drugs and rock and roll thats all i want
whats under the words you know thats all i want
something more than superficial is all i want
sex drugs and rock and roll thats all i want

/i aint scared of living.

giving up ground ain't what i want

everybody knows that it don’t feel right
and i was waiting up in your darkest nights
why does it always hurt when you need it most
never wanted love i just faked my part
never got enough when i wanted your heart
why do i just sink when i’m just tryna float

but you know i’m done pretending i'm wrong when it's not my fault
and baby i'm done pretending it's love when it's not your all
tell the next girl all the things that you told me
all you let slip cause you were hurting, you were lonely
i've found that giving up ground ain't what i want

both our names carved in my bedroom door
nightmares of you and i we can't ignore
how was i sold on the idea of us in the first place
for sale signs on whatever once was ours
hate saying you're the reason i have these scars
but you left me thinking that i was out of line to need space

but you know i’m done pretending i'm wrong when it's not my fault
and baby i'm done pretending it's love when it's not your all
tell the next guy all the things that you told me
all you let slip cause you were hurting, you were lonely
i've found that giving up ground ain't what i want

and i know ive been closing myself off unsure
i know ive been real hard to reach, harder to love
and i know its tiring this shit is getting old
so please just hold on to me
ive slayed these demons theyre old to me
recurring dreams this is happening
tearing my seams; lucid reality
 
and i just want you to feel love
before it disappears
cos we are more than were not
so never fear to feel
good when every things wrong
and find some beauty there
cos all we ever are is brave
 
and your worlds not ending
 
so i wont go
still living in the middle of a one way war
i cant fight it but im trying to be what you want
you cant sing but youre singing this anyway
and anyway
so please just hold on to me
this is no end were not finished here
finding our way were just changing
becoming more than i think of me
yeah
these fears in my head
and dreams in my bed
they wont get the best of me
cos i chase dreams till the end
these nightmares all bend
silver linings are all i need
 
so please just hold on to me
ive slayed these demons theyre old to me
recurring dreams this is happening
tearing my seams from reality
 
and i just want you to feel love
before it disappears
cos we are more than were not
so never fear to feel
good when everythings wrong
and find some beauty there
cos all we ever are is brave

last night was a car crash
highlights meet a quick end
live the high life 'fore the week ends
coming down hard to the sunset sinking in

didnt try hard for a diehard
nothing i can say that you wont get wrong
and everybody asks where youre gone now
can you only really want
what you dont have enough?
everything you ever wanted adding up
to be the reason you cant stand it now
you talk a lot well act like it
finally found a way to get myself untangled

and undone but its alright
this aint been the dream in a long time
make sure you play the music when my times up
oh just say it im done

so if you loved me how was i supposed to know?
cos now were fading and losing what we wanted most
but in spite of how you feel its not the end of the world
some say these things are for the best
how are you so sure?

and you can find me where the sea pours into the stars
ill get there someday
i hope you find everything you think that you want
bruises will fade
time on our side we can wait for it
ill be doing fine if you are
cos life is but a dream
only as real as you let it be

so if you loved me how was i supposed to know?
and now were fading and losing what we wanted most
but in spite of how you feel its not the end of the world
some say these things are for the best
for better, or worse

(verse 1)
i hate the way u make me feel 
i hate the things u make me think
u make me sick to my stomach
i wish that i wasn’t me
 
some days, when i wake up i see myself in the mirror
i feel like what shouldn’t be couldn’t be clearer
my nose to my clothes, from my chin to my skin
i’ll never be good enough ever again
 
for u
so i changed for u
then i dyed for u
then u made me blue
if i were u i’d hate me too
but i already feel like u do
 
because
u tell me i’m not worth shit
& the bad luck’s on purpose
& if i’m sad then i deserve it
 
but underneath the surface, 
i’m hurting, searching, & learning
my imperfections make me perfect
 
(hook)
dear insecurity
when ya gonna take ur hands off me?
when u ever gonna let me be
proud of who i am?
 
oh insecurity
when ya gonna take ur hands off me?
when u ever gonna let me be
just the way i am?
dear insecurity
 
(verse 2)
i 
feel like i’m dying on the inside
but i smile it off
i'm a mess, i'm depressed
i'm alone & it’s all my fault
 
did i do something wrong?
this feeling’s unfair
ur making me anxious
but why the fuck do i care?
 
i overthink everything
til my thoughts are impaired
i hate everything about me
i think i need some air
 
*breathe*
 
drink some water, take a breath
take a moment to be thankful 
for the reasons that ur blessed
it’s not about mistakes u made or failures that u had
it’s all about the memories & little things u have
 
ur freckles
& flaws
to ur body
& bruises
ur scars
to ur beautiful
birth marks
the truth is
 
we’re one & the same
so play the cards that ur dealt
nobody likes u more than when ur being urself
 
(hook)
dear insecurity
when ya gonna take ur hands off me?
when u ever gonna let me be
proud of who i am?
 
oh insecurity
when ya gonna take ur hands off me?
when ya ever gonna let me be
just the way i am?
 
(bridge)
i am
proud of the person who
i am
nobody’s gon’ tell me who
i am
or who i can be
 
i am 
taking my life into 
my hands
are tired of hiding who 
i am
i am me
so
 
(hook)
dear insecurity
when ya gonna take ur hands off me?
when u ever gonna let me be
proud of who i am?
 
oh insecurity,
it’s time i make u take ur hands off me
set me free, i’m gonna let u see
i’m proud of who i am
just the way i am
i’m proud of who i am

Death of a Hero

Chelsea Cutler - Cold Showers
Available everywhere now: hyperurl.co/cccoldshowers

laying in your car when the lights go low
dancing in the dark with you on my shoulder
and i don’t even know what you came here for
all i know is i just want you closer

yeah but it’s all in my head
yeah i made a mess again
yeah I’m just the last one going out the door without you

i take cold showers to remember I’m not with you
i leave with someone else to act like i don’t miss you
i can’t pretend i won’t give in 
i hate myself for giving you the things i give you 
when i know that it's over

I’m starting to hate how this all played out
cause you don’t understand that i am trying
maybe I’m a mess and god knows how
i’d do anything to justify it

yeah but it’s all in my head
yeah i made a mess again
yeah i’m just the last one seeing you for what i should be 

i take cold showers to remember I’m not with you
i leave with someone else to act like i don’t miss you
i can’t pretend i won’t give in 
i hate myself for giving you the things i give you 
when i know that it's over
