How can I put out the fire?

[intro]

[verse]
I worked to be shelved
find my love dispelled,
feels like I've been cursed
ever since I turned twelve.
outta love for myself,
outta love for any girl,
might as well be outta here,
right outta this world...

Hard to paint in the lines,
When everyone crossed it
If I'm honest,
I don't think anyone's stoppin' it.
I bring colour to my pain,
My misery is my art,
How do I pull myself together
When I'm being torn apart.

I fall on deaf ears
And my cries for help are ancient,
I'm asking for a sign
But they all point to the pavement.
How can I help?
When there's nothing, I really learned.
I'm nervous about myself
and concerned about my health...

The town I'm in's rough
but I never felt such fear
as I wander in this forest
I feel curtains drawing near.
being told to leave the stage
as if I were deranged.
Is it crazy to still try,
even if I'm enraged?

I'm engaged with my emotions
But I'm lost in motion
I think I'm broken.
Yeah, I bring the heat
But no one brings the water,
So I wait for the rain
like a lamb to the slaughter,

I sacrifice so much
I'm giving more than just love,
I miss myself so much,
But the hole in my chest is closing up...

trying to change my life
but it always stays the same
I'm stuck in this mud
while the forest is up in flames.
There's nothing I can do
I have never felt so worthless
I'm drowning in this mud
wondering what's my purpose?

[outro]
I'm nervous...

I'm nervous...

I'm nervous...

feel myself on fire wondering
what's my purpose?

I'm nervous...

[end]

FOREST FIRE

Is this how they see me?

LYRICS:

[pre-chorus]
Scare you straight
I'll have you off your feet
So I can walk away
How hard can it really be?

runners high
they'll be sprinting with ecstasy 
I got many legs
So I'll be walking like a centipede.

[chorus]
centipede,
centipede,
I'll be walking like a,
centipede.

centipede,
centipede,
I'll be walking like a,
centipede.

[verse]
Groundhog Day
I'm working for the big dogs.
I miss the peace,
No wonder I'm so pissed off.

I care for the dog
But they don't care for me,
How am I in the dog house
With no room to breathe?

I play ball
but they tend to keep away
still holding onto that stress
of yesterday.

bark orders,
It sticks like disorders
if you can't perform
you're thrown away like-

(he can't do this)
(he can't do that)
(trade him out)
(he ain't a man)

people carry crosses
while I'm losing faith,
no tic or tacks can keep
my toes in place.
hate these hounds that lie in wait,
I'm craving more than greens,
I want meat on my dinner plate.

[pre-chorus]
I'm a mouse, the way I'm chasing the cheese
But Tom is looking over me,
can I catch a break please?

runners high
Now I'm sprinting with ecstasy
I got many legs
so I'm running like a centipede.

[chorus]
centipede,
centipede,
I'm running like a,
centipede.

centipede,
centipede,
I'm running like a,
centipede.

[Verse]
How much power
do insects really have?
when there are bigger creatures
about to eat in mass.

its a vicious cycle
been in it for quite a while 
you can either hide away
or run for miles.

the way I break and bend,
my spinal cord extends
to fit inside every crack
till I ain't seen again.

leave me alone
I'm better on my own,
because there are days
I wanna consume my own.

I cut ties, 
cuz guys want me to die, right?
I'm too quick for my size,
I want a slice of that pie.
disgust in their eyes
but I thrive outa spite.
I write how I want
and I live how I vibe...

Maybe I can't see straight
but I can feel my way around it,
im bugging out
in this world of flowers...

[pre-chorus]
now it's just me,
vibing to this melody
It's just like hearing ecstasy.

hear my words
This is something you really need,
I burrow into your skull, just like a centipede.

[chorus]
centipede,
centipede,
I'm in your skull like a,
centipede...

centipede,
centipede,
I'm in your skull like a,
centipede...

[outro]
(oh no, no, no,
I'm bugging out...
in this world of flowers)

[end]

CENTIPEDE

Is this how love should be?

just waiting,
time wasting,
head turned,
west facing.

girl standing,
outstanding,
she turned,
heart pounding.

you had me,
you passed me,
felt like,
you found me.

I need you,
I hear you,
I miss you,
I see you.

[pre-chorus]
I kick the dust

[verse]
We vibing,
We poppin',
She stares,
Heart-stopping.

She smiling,
I'm whiling,
Heart gone,
She robbing.

Night ends,
Eyes bend,
Time check,
It's ended.

We exit,
She meant it,
my feelings,
Suspended.

[pre-chorus]
I kick the dust
cuz I missed the bus.
but I now know
where you had to go.

 [outro]
You see me,
I see you,
We locked,

this feeling,
It's itching,
lights red,
she winking.

I'm going,
keep going,
I'm pushing,
she pulling.

we here,
right now,
let's do it,
make out...

[End]

BUSY BEE

Should I hide that part of me?

LYRICS:

[intro]

[chorus]
something strange is happening
beneath the branches.

wrapped in roots but I choose
where I'm standing.

I watch the fairies
that bleed with magic.

I wonder in the woods
while burning matches.

[verse]

I walk with peace
because its walking by.
it doesn't stay or wait,
it just passes by.
webbing on my shirt
from being tangled in a web of lies.
I'm so alive
yet I feel like I'm about to die.
 
The hourglass pours
And every drop is potent
The weight of my soul
gets heavier with every moment.
sinking sands
got me wasting time
I dwell on thoughts
that go past the lines.

I'm doing fine,
yea I'm fine with that
no one really cares
when you're cornered back.
in fact its crazy
thinking someone asked,
when my back is turned
I'm just a knife rack.

[chorus]
something strange is happening
beneath the branches.

wrapped in roots but I choose
where I'm standing.

I watch the fairies
that bleed with magic.

I wonder in the woods
while burning matches.


[verse]
I'm a witness
To my ever-growing
Encroaching sickness.
Where I'm the only victim
That can not be treated.

I'm proceeded to have
my reflection superseded.
I just a hollow home
for nightly creatures.

like every garden,
you have some weeds.

that tend to stick,
when you tend to treat.

I trick myself in thinking
that I can hardly see.

but its the dead of night
where lights will bleed.

illuminating,
accumulating,
fireflies that are
infiltrating,
its irritating,
how all these bugs need
annihilating

[bridge]
behind my eyes
I'm dead inside
think they know, nothings right.
beneath the branches
hides the bodies
of my other lives.

I pay my dues with glassy eyes
look in mirrors deep inside

my empty shells mean I
metamorphosized...

[chorus]
something strange is happening
beneath the branches.

wrapped in roots but I choose
where I'm standing.

I watch the fairies
that bleed with magic.

I wonder in the woods
while burning matches.

[end]

BENEATH THE BRANCHES

I keep changing,
but I don't know what into,
do I keep going?

LYRICS:

[intro]

[verse]
sometimes I wanna sit in silence...
cuz my head is too violent...
its so easy to watch...
but its hard to stay quiet...

can't be the man you want,
can't be the friend you want,
can't be the son you want,
can't be who you want.

I'm tired being what people expect
except when they think I'm doing my best,
yes, I got butterflies in my chest,
but I gotta keep going, for me there is no rest, ah.

gotta keep at it,
gotta keep breathing
gotta make magic.
fuck.

think I just had it
now I write a song
now it sounds tragic.
fuck.

I wear colours on my back
But I ain't looking back
But now I'm so lost
And I'm missing all the tracks.

I see what people want,
but not how it makes me feel.
they think I'm doing better
when it really makes me ill.

I keep going,
I keep changing...
but in this lucid dream,
nothing's what it seems.

I'm hunched over
like I'm a caterpillar,
these problems I keep having
are only getting bigger.
now I figure, I'm just stupid.
with these wings, I grew my own,
now I'm stuck here, about to lose it,
while I stand here all alone, ah.

[outro]

(just wanna express myself)
(just wanna be myself)
(just wanna hear myself)

fuck it,
I'm better by myself.

fuck it,
I'm better by myself.
[end]

BUTTERFLIES

Is this how people should feel?

LYRICS:

chorus]
for every star in the sky
there's a guy in his room
who's tired and quiet
while listening to doom
but reaches to skies
as he rises from earth
the branches he bares
are from blooming in dirt

I'm feeling like a tree
right now....

I'm feeling like a tree
right now....

[verse]
why get high
when your still feeling low
why look to the sky
when you still need to grow
the birds fly by
but the ants still know
holding that weight
makes a star glow.

make that light shine bright
like what cities do,
fly by like the wind
and move straight through
put some pep in your step
and move as you choose
put your left then your right
put some soul in your shoes.

determination burns
its the fire in my iris
im flooded with dreams
there's tears in my eyelids
im swimming in doubt
and the waves are violent
its loud in my head
when im drowning in silence...

when your stuck in the past
nothing is changing
your looking at a canvas
that's already painted
the colours could be faded
and the greens could be jaded
there's always cracks in the grounds
making greens in the pavement.

[chorus]
for every star in the sky
there's a guy in his room
who's tired and quiet
while listening to doom
but reaches to skies
as he rises from earth
the branches he bares
are from blooming in dirt...

I'm feeling like a tree
right now....

I'm feeling like a tree
right now....

[outro]
I'm feeling like a tree
right now...

I'm feeling like a tree
right now...
[end]
