-soft-

if it's the ocean that calls
ever so, far away from me
lost and afraid to say
goodbye, i'm afraid to say it

may it, be the waves
that always pull me back
i can't, let go of gravity now
turn the lights on

let the sun go down
and i promise, no one will see us

Soft

-hope-

Fuck, I tried again
I can't hit unsend
But she's just a friend
So, what's it matter then 

I can't sleep at night
I don't feel right 
I'm high as a kite 
Wondering if she's tight 

How to sleep alone
I can't hear you moan
I'm lost on my phone
Need to change the tone 

Tumbling of the die 
You don't ask me why
Need to see me cry
Give you another try 

She said, I'll let you know
But, she can't tell me no 

Pull me like the tide
I'll just stay inside
Run away and hide
Throat closed, eyes are wide 

I'll just sit and wait
I'm so full of hate
Don't know if I ate
Open the pearly gate 

She said, I'll let you know
But, she can't tell me no

Turn off, to sleep.

I saw what it was like to be alone and next to you, just me next to you,

And I wonder, if I could take you away from all of this and all of that,

but I still have hope.

Hope

-falling star-

(I think I need it)
Rocks and stones, over turned
I never learn
(You know I want you)
Go away
Heard you say
Not today 

Here we go again
Falling to pieces
Over me and you 

(You know you hate this)
I'm okay
Still won't stay
Not this way
(I think I miss you)
Go ahead
Stay in bed
Playing dead 

Here we go again
Falling to pieces
Over me and you 

Goodbye
I'm done
No lie
It's not fun
But I tried
For you hun
I died
Still young
So, goodbye
I'm done
Goodbye
I'm done 

Here we go again
Falling to pieces
Over me and you


Time and time
I'm a falling star, for you
I'm a falling star

Hallucinate

-exalted-

Get me so high
Before I give it another try
The suns gone down
So you know i'll be around

Full moon out, on once again
Walk in to pout, half past ten
Figure me out
Unless she's gone and I got it wrong again

There she goes again
Running 'round my brain
Living in a frame, but I still complain
How am I to know
I feel shallow

Keep it still calm, I mean it
Sweat in my palm, I need a hit
Can't believe it's the same shit
Only just had a little bit

Exalted

-till death, do us part-

oh no, i can't see her
hope he ain't a beater
but i'm still no cheater
but i look like a lemur

does she make you feel?
does she make you feel?

let's see what we got
don't you give it a thought
i think i got caught
my god, she's so hot

does she make you feel?
does she make you feel?

stay, don't go away
never, felt better
stay, don't go away
never, felt better

hold up, she is here
thought i saw me a tear
come by, it's for you to hear
only took a whole year

does she make you feel?
does she make you feel?

stay, don't go away
never, felt better
stay, don't go away
never, felt better

people, let me go
i don't ever hear a no
she's got me hanging on
tell me, why i'm so wrong

Till Death, Do Us Part

-sultry-

i've been waiting for hearsay
saw a blue bird and ran away

run on up stairs
i'd rather wait
say what you want
so full of hate

it's all just a feeling
and it won't let me go
now she's got me kneeling
and i wont ever know
it's all just a feeling
and i wont ever know

stolen honor from your face
kill me softly and run in place

Sultry

-resistance-

from a black heart
bigger then i thought
where can we start
long after getting caught

honey i've got
me and you i can't undo
take me to the sun
should we walk or run

but yesterday
you saw me fall apart
reaching far away
that's the hardest part

birds chirp and fly
begging me please don't die
found me like a ghost
seemed to matter most

but yesterday
you saw me fall apart
reaching far away
that's the hardest part

but yesterday
i heard she fell apart
being far away
that's the hardest part

being far away
that's the hardest part

Resistance

-separation-

so it seems you don't want to talk
i can tell by the way you walk
heard them all say, she won't talk to you
if i'm still in her way

well i woke up with you on my mind again
went in dreaming with hope to find
heard them whisper, drink water now
all around, yeah i saw her

is it okay if i stand by you
is it okay if i smile when you laugh
tell me i'm alive
tell me that it's okay

what's left to see
you've already gone away
after i said please don't leave me
until i feel okay

deep inside i still
keep running back to you

Separation

-empty-

lost in waiting rooms
found alibis
still won't call me back

sat through constrain
pulled off her hair ties
won't let go just yet

chased the sun away
don't care anymore
still can't see
i'm in danger to

caught the moon again
keep it tied down
don't stay so quiet

(i'm feeling alone to)

chased the sun away
don't care anymore
still can't see
i'm in danger to

(she went far away)
(she went far away)
(she went far away)
(she went far away)

bright stars up ahead
they abandon you
i can't ever say goodbye
can't ever say goodbye 

(hold me)
(don't let me down)

bright stars up ahead
they abandon you
can't say goodbye
can't say

chased the sun away
don't care anymore
still can't see
i'm in danger to

Empty

-last call-
round and round again
got to see you
i felt alive and i know
she can read my mind

me, i don't hear no
or care too much
about dollar signs and i know
she can read my mind

once a week
try and speak
i just drown myself
to feel okay and i know
she can read my mind

hope she's got me in her dreams
i was falling to
right in front of her and
got me in her dreams

Last Call

-willow-

changed your mind again
so i’m wishing you well
like a bad habit
sticking to me to

deep down inside i know
you’re a sad person to
that’s the person i love
the one i’d love to know

changed your mind again
so i’m wishing you well
like a bad habit
sticking to me to

look who i see
at the bottom there
red eyes took away
you and all my care

i like to think you’re here with me
but closed arms can’t hold me now
so if i can’t make you happy
i gotta stop thinking why and how
i like to think you’re here with me

is it lonely
when everyone drifts by
trying to stay clean
found peace of mind above my head

i found others to
just like me
when I finally go to bed
i’m moving on

she said i’m the only one she still talks to

tease me
leaving
ignore me
i’m boring
seizure
when you
see her
only
runaway
no echo
holiday
all alone
static
white noise
logic
and dreaming

claustrophobia
her hearts black as coal
hyper mania
can’t feel her anymore
lost in a seashell
think i’m going to be okay
what’s her name anyway

is it lonely when everyone drifts by

but closed arms can’t hold me now
so if i can’t make you happy
i gotta stop thinking why and how
(i like to think you’re here with me)
so i’m wishing you well
(don’t fall to)
so i’m wishing you well

goodbye you know who

Willow

-parade-

let's go run back to home
sad eyes see me now
in the morning
sometimes i think of her

never ending i say
in the morning
sometimes i think of her

i can sleep anywhere
breaking hearts
why even care

in the morning
sometimes i think of her

you don't love me to
and that's fine

-breathing in-

caught in how you been
staring at all in
fade away on me
leaving charge and fee
i miss you sometimes
more than i ever thought
i could miss you

open up closing
harmony ringing
dead notes hallow
filling up gallow

are you alone
wait for tomorrow
never give up
breathing in sorrow
i miss you sometimes
more than i ever thought
i could miss you

dead end you turn
inhibition scary
blur lines, awol
come on dare me

are you alone
wait for tomorrow
never give up
breathing in sorrow

(honey)

seeing sparkle
head starting to spin
pull down my halo and choke me
(runaway)

speak up honest
tell me i need to go
never let me sleep this all off
(runaway)

(honey)

Breathing In

-hunger (in the room)-

standing on wedlock
moment she rehearsed
hoping no one leaves her
lead into first place

being torn apart, but i don't mind
(hunger in the room, in the room)
(need any)
(it's only me)

(stay)

make believe never
roses never bloom
in my opinion
you better not follow me

(needle in hay)

being torn apart, but i don't mind
(hunger in the room, in the room)
(need any)
(it's only me)
