Tell me
What is it you're thinking lately
i'll be
listening from my side

so please be
rational for once cause this seems
plaguing
and i won't be apart of this

and I won't catch myself
Falling through the air
That was meant to be
Your job baby

Yeah I get it now
You simply don’t care
You just don't seem
On it lately

and that's why
you'll never take the time to finally
realize
there's empathy in what im saying

and i'll try  
to read between the lines cause baby
if i cry
the screams just ensue again

//and you don't know!

You don't know it's killing me
Every time that you land in my bed
I don't know what to think
Cause I hate when you're not there

and I'll find my vision
But I don't know where you'll fit in
and I swear I'll find myself
By god I do it again and again so 

Front the image
Read fine print cause it's all that’s written
Can't find a ledge to stand
But by god I do this again and again so

leave me lone'
yeah I know
I have much to atone 
inside this daydream

yeah the ego
in my own faults
They infect this head 
and our own dailies

so i'll leave the peace 
for you to break it in
maybe we'll find a way
for us to wash our sin

Yeah I really don’t want
this night to ever end
And that's why 
we can't pretend

//that you don't know!

You don't know it's killing me
Every time that you land in my bed
I don't know what to think
Cause I hate when you're not there

and I'll find my vision
But I don't know where you'll fit in
and I swear I'll find myself
By god I do it again and again so 

Front the image
Read fine print cause it's all that’s written
Can't find a ledge to stand
But by god I do this again and again so

Why are we here again?
oh baby
Why are we here again?

So tell me
why is it im left alone?
So tell me
What's the use in sleeping away?
Cause i'll dream
And you'll be there endlessly
So tell me

Cause I'm here to tell you
The end is nigh 
 
there's a reason
for the treason 
its by our design

it's that fate that brought me to you
found in winter chasing time

you were once a caterpillar
now you're my butterfly
wrapped in golden sunlight

Now I'm left in your basket
May as well be a casket
I

Don't wanna react poor
But I 

don't wanna be ash
and why

why I'd get put here
I 

I just came to tell you
I just came to tell you

The end is nigh 
 
there's a reason
for the treason 
its by our design

it's that fate that brought me to you
found in winter chasing time

you were once a caterpillar
now you're my butterfly
wrapped in golden sunlight

it's so real
yeah i swear
i feel you
you're right there

the winter's here
it's august 5th
I won't remiss

but lets be clear
the only tone
is the message froze

Of ancient stare
Man it's cold out there
You left me in

disrepair
But I just came
To tell you

The end is nigh 
 
there's a reason
for the treason 
its by our design

it's that fate that brought me to you
found in winter chasing time

you we're once a caterpillar
now you're my butterfly
wrapped in golden sunlight

the story of a giraffe and a butterfly

We've wasted away all these years
What to do with misplaced fears?
And everyday, I yearn for here
But where is that when tears roll

Down again
This is my end
And i won't forgive
what's endless in this

this is for him
and all that you did
I'm drowning in it
So what's with your tears rolling

down

Flashbacks
Couldn't test and live-fire our limits
I can't fly higher with these wings
Can't reach new heights 
when you need me so

I know
There's time lapse
and there's a fire beneath me
What can you say when you're charred deep
Down to your bones
I feel indigo

Find me in my own clash
Knee deep in the end of our last
And I revel in all of the fact that
I've stopped bleeding out all on the mattress

The empty one you left me on
and I know that I'm not that strong but 
these are feelings that just don't fade
and i've become what I swore to hate so

When will you stop chasing me 
We both know this isn't what you need
and I know im not what you seek
and to me that means everything

and i get it your love knows different
trust me my god knows I miss it
but i'm the bringer of all my pain  
and this is the end of eras baby 

so is the crown heavy
was the pain you caused worth it
and necessary

yeah i'm tearing
there's a rift you've sown 
and I'm oh so grown to parry

i swear eve
I can't go back to the life we had it's scary
I know that crowns oh so heavy    

Promiscuous interest
Laced with all that I need to begin this again
I'll leave to bear witness
As I'm bathed in the scent and the light of your hair

And the seams feel so rigid
That's what happens when you lie
And the tape is right there

I don't mean to be different
But I can't help it when 

You send me left then go right
Then im here till the end of the night
then you ask if im doing just fine
what'd you expect from a soul with no rise

under butterflies dancing alone
i've got all of my sin to atone
yeah i swear eve i'll do what im told
i've got nothing to lose anymore

so stop
and listen
i've got all that we need to get with it
so don't get confused with the mission
(are you listening?)

There's not
An admission
For the need and all the attention
I don't need to walk in directions

that are splitting
can you hear me?

cause i'm tired of all this
All of this headache
and all of this hardship

i've tried to move on 
and i've failed with no solace
these are the things
that occur in the darkness

so who do you think that you are
you think you're a bright shining star?
you won't get that far

Good thing that I already know
I've got nothing to lose anymore

and to me that means everything

and to me that means everything

so is the crown heavy
was the pain you caused worth it
and necessary

yeah i'm tearing
there's a rift you've sown 
and I'm oh so grown to parry

i swear eve
I can't go back to the life we had it's scary
I know that crowns oh so heavy

is the crown heavy

What if consuming art outside of music could unlock your most original sound?

Stop Starving Your Sound... with Skybreak

i can’t believe that i thought it’d go well
i know you want the idea not the real
so i give it to you and you can’t tell
if it isn’t me then i won’t feel

i remember waiting up for so long
i remember waiting up for so long
i remember waiting up for so long
i remember waiting up for so

i’ll take too long, say i’ll be there in a minute
don’t take too long, i am not what you’re wishing
i wash my hands but the bloods already set in
better take what you can, better take what your given
wish i wasn’t so indifferent
try to find a real connection
is it fucking or affection
same thing if you let it
wake up and forget it
pop pills and forget it
find balance and upset it
repeat then regret it

warm air thick in the summer rain i’m not that far from you
i hope i stick, hope i’m melted in i hope i’m into you
hope i’m still, hope i never blink until you make a move
hope i’m here, hope i’m anywhere that brings me back to you
same old shit, you can push it down but it’s still coming through
same old shit, i try to let it go but i can’t shake it loose
the same old shit, even when i win i still feel like i lose
same old shit, you can’t live the life without it coming due

i can’t believe that i thought it’d go well
i know you want the idea not the real
so i give it to you and you can’t tell
if it isn’t me then i won’t feel

i remember waiting up for so long
i remember waiting up for so long
i remember waiting up for so long
i remember waiting up for so
