lyrics:
Everything is 
Better in my dreams 
Because you don’t have to worry 
About all the hardships that 
You encounter I wish you’d come sleep with me
The fruits of your labor have 
Always been sour but all wounds heal with time


[Chorus]
I’ll see you at the bottom 
You don’t gotta waste your time on yesterday
I’ll see you at the bottom 
You don’t gotta waste your time on yesterday
She moves, a bad thing
Baby, don’t you cry like this
You don’t wanna you don’t wanna let them see you this way
I’ll see you at the bottom 
You don’t gotta waste your time on yesterday

I’m giving myself far less 
and giving my all to be more selfless 
Ostentatious bearings cast aside 
As I cried against an ocean of light 
It’s easy to love you now 
But I’ll still love you when you’re old
And broken 
And the wind’s dried you out

[Chorus]

lyrics:

[verse 1]
pack your bags, we’re going south 
we’re going home 
make some friends, you’ve got time 
you’re moving slow 
learn to drive, get a job 
and cut it short 
with your deadbeat girlfriend 

you don’t know what the world 
will throw at you
you’re not a kid, so shut your mouth
and get a clue 
focus on, what we want 
it’s good for you
you’re moving too fast, too fast 

[pre-chorus]
uwu
and all this time I had you by my side
but you drown in silence
I came to life to find you 

[chorus]
but you drown in silence
I came to life to find you
but you drown in silence
I came to life to find you
fortune won’t you come my way
when I’ve got nothing more to say
but you drown in silence
I came to life to find you

[verse 2]
work harder, at this rate
you’ll never be 
good enough to get into 
the Ivy League
nowhere fast, is where you are
if you do not get up off your lazy ass

no real friends, no real job
nowhere to turn 
I was a punk, such a kid
who never learned 
but I have changed, with the help 
of all of you
thank you for making me something more

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]

oh, just tell me you don't love me anymore
anymore
oh, just let me off the hook and set the score
set the score

[verse]
all these songs are a mystery to me 
I’m just tryna let it be 
I’m just tryna let it be, yeah
when she said I don’t have the energy 
I’m just tryna let her be
and let nothing come between us


[pre-chorus]
she said 
that she hurts herself and she wanna be somebody else
she said 
that she hates herself and she wants to be somebody else


[chorus]
should’ve said I don’t have the time 
out of sight and I’m out of mind
come around during wintertime 
doo doo doo haha i said doo doo


should’ve said I don’t have the time 
out of sight and I’m out of mind
come around during wintertime
doo doo haha i said doo doo lmao so wacky

[verse]

[bridge]

like foxgloves in the wintertime

lyrics:
[Chorus: cwm & Atwood]
I don’t think she knows
When she hittin on my phone
I don’t think she
I don’t know
I don’t like

[Verse 1: cwm]
Would she die now
She getting by now
Is she sleeping with another guy now
Can’t stand the thought makes me wanna blast myself
I’d fall asleep
In your eyes

The fumes are in my head 
Can’t shake the scent while I lay in bed
Stare at my message you left on read
I slip into the same space again
I can’t even think cause you’re all in my head
I dream of us every now and then
Gotta drop it all just to take it in 
The stains that you left on my own skin

Please be mine
I know that flat-outright
Can’t take it all in stride
How many countless times
Wish you were here
And the chemicals 
Are never letting go
Because that’s all I know 

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Atwood]

Footprints in the sand
Why you running through my head
Take the hourglass, scoop the ground up
I dont want this to end yet
I don't care bout you and him
I don't care bout what your friend said
Don't want hear bout this again
Don't want go on any binges
We been back and forth like a matador let's just cut the bullshit
I don't have no more things to battle for i never felt like you did
You been caught up in your hubris
You ain't stay true to yourself
You feel like somebody else
Now you hittin up my cell

[BRUTAL SOLO]

[Chorus]

lyrics:
Don’t hold your tongue baby say what you wanna say
Don’t wanna make you wait 
Don’t let it fade away
Don’t hold it back baby tell me how you wanna play
She sent me naked pictures from her neck down to her waist, oh
I need you now more than I ever did before
And your embrace
Takes me away
When we connect I feel as though I’m at home
I feel secure

When you call my name 
But your body language says what’s in your eyes
And you feel so warm when you don’t let go 
I don’t wanna say goodbye 
When you’re sat in the driveway 
Come on, tell me that you’re ok

When you’re sat in the driveway 
Come on, tell me that you’re ok
And the tears keep streaming down
And you can’t quite shake it now

Knock on my skull
Thinking of—
Racking my brain 
Wanting you safe
Don’t hold your tongue baby say what you wanna say
I feel secure 
I feel maintained

When you call my name 
But your body language says what’s in your eyes
And you feel so warm when you don’t let go 
I don’t wanna say goodbye 
When you’re sat in the driveway 
Come on, tell me that you’re ok

When you’re sat in the driveway 
Come on, tell me that you’re ok
And the tears keep streaming down
And you can’t quite shake it now

lyrics:
[Verse 1] 

If you’re gonna go and waste my time 
Go all the way 
Go all the way 
If you’re gonna go and waste your life 
Go all the way 
Go all the way 

You are not okay 
I feel your steadfast in your sway 
If I’m to take away the pain 
Would you still see the light of day? 
And you know 

[Pre-chorus] 
Diligence is best when served if 
With a cold fist and a gaze of death 

[Chorus] 
Feel you, hold you 
Be there for you 
Know you are more 
Than what 
They say you are 

Don’t go crying to yourself you’re the cutest girl in hell 
And hell is a state of mind 

[Verse 2] 
With your cigarette 
I feel your sense of self regret 
I know you stumble, but don’t fret 
I hope my gaze is less intense 
And I know 

[Pre-chorus]

lyrics:
[Chorus] 
La la la 
Throw me to the wayside 
In the morning there’s a cease fire 
Inertia, can’t fight it 
My own head, and silence 

[Verse 1] 
For the past 3 years 
I’ve been trapped in here 
And there’s angel tears 
Dripping down my windshield 
At my worst 
When you set me free 
You had shown me love 
Apothecary heal me 

And the way she walks around is so cold 
And the way you glow 
Baby girl don’t let me go 
And the way she holds me when it’s over 
Hold your composure 
Baby I won’t let you fold 

[Prechorus] 

OOOOOOOOOOOOH 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 2] 
And I know 
When I see your face 
When I feel your glow 
I will be okay 
But I need you most 
In the seas of night 
When there’s just a ghost 
Laying at my side 
And the way she walks around is so cold 
And the way you glow 
Baby girl don’t let me go

[Verse 1]
I don’t wanna wait here
All your motives unclear
I just want some piece of mind
But we’re running out of time
You’re just trying to circumvent
Immolate the evidence
Say that you won’t lie again 
Say it you won’t lie again
Please don’t make me wait
When there’s so just much to be said
There’s just so much pain and anger in the way you act

[Chorus]
Baby I’m sorry
On my knees I’m burning
Sugar I’m tired
My whole life on fire

[Verse 2]
Wish I was your favorite 
You don’t have to fake it
You don’t have to pity me
Just give me what I want and leave
I don’t wanna wait here
All your motives unclear
I just want some piece of mind
But we’re running out of time
Every passing second is just time we won’t get back
There’s just so much pain and anger in the way you act

[Chorus]

no one likes it when i'm sad

I just want some time with you
See your face glow on my cell in the moonlight
I would do it all for you
Spent a whole comma by the beach in the summertime

x2

[Verse]
We write our names in the sand
And at that point I take your hand
Every kiss, begins with K
I feel my doubt just fade away
The water drops on your skin
Dance and reflect my affection

[Chorus] 

[Verse]
I can feel the rush when I’m by you
In a field of lush right beside you
Wished this moment lasts forever 
Wished this moment lasts forever
I don’t need anyone
But you here in the sun
You make me feel like I am whole

[Chorus]

lyrics:

Do you ever think about ghosts
Cause I’ve been thinking about suicide a lot more than I used to
Would you feel the adrenaline
If you read that I died

I can’t take these photographs
Or find the strength to hold your hand
And I don’t want to lose a friend
But I can’t help but push you away

And you can find me by myself
Cause I don’t feel alive
I think I need an angel or some pesticide
I’m by myself
You don’t have to tell me twice
To get my act together or I can say goodbye 

ごめん話がしたい
Gomen hanashi ga shitai
(I want to talk, sorry)

And the crowd goes wild
When I make them worried sick
Tears streaming down her face
With her jaw dropped open
Phone falling onto the ground
Glass breaking glass breaking
Would you consider this
That I’m not coming back

I can’t take these photographs
Or find the strength to hold your hand
And I don’t want to lose a friend
But I can’t help but push you away

And you can find me by myself
Cause I don’t feel alive
I think I need an angel or some pesticide
I’m by myself
You don’t have to tell me twice
To get my act together or I can say goodbye

lyrics:

I could never hurt you
So I’ll keep your name a secret
But I’m cursing under my breath
Cause I know I blew my chances
Not like it could ever work out
But the thought of it seems so nice
And I miss the times that we spent
Staring at the stars above my bed
The thoughts of you are fleeting
But all the same are swarming my head
I don’t want to be a burden
I just want you here in my bed

All the time we shared
All the time we shared

And even though you aren’t dying
I’ll carry a piece of you with me forever
But for now we’re just two lions in the rain
Waiting for the summer to close out

two lions in the rain

lyrics:
[Verse]
I need you now all the time every time
Got my heart in a ziplock bag with all the notes that I sent you when I was deaf

The world could end but
I wouldn’t move a muscle
I’m at peace
When it’s just you (and you, and me, and you)
I don’t wanna leave your house this time
Parting ways feels like tearing my soul in half
I don’t wanna have to leave this time
But I guess that’s just the pain I entwine

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s so easy with you here
Could suspend all of my fear
Many miles above the earth
I can’t jump without your gaze again

[Chorus]
All I’m wanting is a single thing
I just want you in my arms when I fall asleep
All I’m wanting is a single thing
You could fill in the blanks with your eyes tonight
All I’m wanting is a single thing
I just want you in my arms when I fall asleep
All I’m wanting is a single thing
You could fill in the blanks with your heart tonight

[Verse]
Liplock
Falling way too fast and I can’t stop
Got your enamel pin over my heart
Guiding me as I violently crash through the floor

*kiss*

Liplock
Falling way too fast and I can’t stop
Got your enamel pin over my heart
Guiding me as I violently crash through the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s so easy with you here
Could suspend all of my fear
Many miles above the earth
I can’t jump without your gaze again

[Chorus]
All I’m wanting is a single thing
I just want you in my arms when I fall asleep
All I’m wanting is a single thing
You could fill in the blanks with your eyes tonight
All I’m wanting is a single thing
I just want you in my arms when I fall asleep
All I’m wanting is a single thing
You could fill in the blanks with your heart tonight
