BAD LOOK
Get out, you're reckless and you've broken
the promises you made
A pig who cried wolf
(Tear down the walls and burn down the shelter)
Now, I've got a vision of you leaving
It's burning in mind and I can't get it out
(Out of the fire we rise from the ashes, out of the fire we rise)

Feels like your eyes have been sewn shut
Like you're constantly wiping off the rust
When you think you'll never make it, don't let go
Keep your feet pointed toward home
They will never know you are not alone

Face it, your consequential apathy is making
You blind from all the fear
Open to the light, feel it in your bones
Relinquish all the blame you've carried for so long

Feels like your eyes have been sewn shut
Like you're constantly wiping off the rust
When you think you'll never make it, don't let go
Keep your feet pointed toward home
They will never know you are not alone

It's a bad look chomping at the bit to tell
an ordinary lie

Feels like your eyes have been sewn shut
Like you're constantly wiping off the rust
When you think you'll never make it, don't let go
Keep your feet pointed toward home
Toward home

BLOOD IN THE WATER

I shouldn't be here
I've made a mistake
There's blood in the water
You wanted me out
Just out of reach
To see how far I would go

Walking endlessly alone in these halls
The black it hurt my eyes
So I put my hands in front of my face
It's getting hard to breathe
It's getting hard to breathe

You cannot fall apart now
You've wanted this for far too long
The sun will never set now
Let's watch it burn

Don't look away
Don't look away
They're starting to take your place

And you peered into my soul
Well I don't know what's on the other side
So I built my strength
I trained my mind to be stronger
Stronger than it's ever been before

You cannot fall apart now
You've wanted this for far too long
The sun will never set now
Let's watch it burn

Don't look away
Don't look away
They're starting to take your place

With all of me
With all of you
We'll rip out the stitches we've been tied to

I shouldn’t be here
I’ve made a mistake
You wanted me out
Just out of reach
I shouldn’t be here
I’ve made a mistake
There’s blood in the water
Blood in the water

Don't look away
Don't look away
They're starting to take your place

With all of me
With all of you
We'll rip out the stitches we've been tied to

It’s getting hard to breathe
It’s getting hard to
It’s getting hard to breathe
It’s getting hard
Hard to breathe

THE VEIL

I came to find the truth just beneath the veil
But in time you seemed removed
I was under your spell

You’re a goddess pulling me toward you
I was underneath when you tore me to pieces

Punish me
Just punish me
To make me feel something
Hold me down
I’ll pretend to run
I’m reaching out
But it’s not enough

I revolted, tried to carry on without you
I could not resist, I would not pull away
I need you in my veins

Punish me
Just punish me
To make me feel something
Hold me down
I’ll pretend to run
I’m reaching out
But it’s not enough

I heard the truth come out when you spoke my name
I felt your hands around my neck, I looked away
I heard your vision blurs before you start to faint

Punish me
Just punish me
To make me feel something
Hold me down
I’ll pretend to run
I’m reaching out
But it’s not enough

MY LEAST FAVORITE LIFE

This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don’t
A kiss holds a million deceits
And a lifetime goes up in smoke
This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The nights that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home

We're wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory

The station pulls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
May be they’re yours, maybe they’re mine
This is my least favorite life
The one where I am out of my mind
The one where you are just out of reach
The one where I stay and you fly

I'm wandering in the shade
And the rustle of fallen leaves
A bird on the edge of the blade
Lost now forever, my love, in a sweet memory
