lyrics:

walking down the hallway 
headed to the end of the word
don’t think I don’t see you looking at me sideways, girl
(how do you know) 
what makes me terrified
what seems to keep me up at night
what eats away at my insides, and makes me lose my appetite
all the times you, said you loved me
it seems like you don’t care all that much about me
walking down the hallway 
headed to the end of the world
with all of my 
 
pervasive thoughts, perverting my whole mind
reverberate across, the pools under your eyes
so tell me again
how much of an enemy I am
when I’m giving it all that I can
you’ve got such high demands
oooh, oh
drain me for all that I am,
you’ve got such high demands
oooh, oh
you’ve got such high demands,
you’ve got such high demands

say you’ll never get me, say you’ll never let me go
tell me I should walk away before you lose control 
my fingers grip the phone
you know you got me all alone, 
you talk me up to tear me down
you plant the thorns upon my crown, and

all the times you, said you need me
it seems like you don’t care if my heart is beating 
say you’ll never get me
say you’ll never let me go
with all of my

(chorus repeats)

high demands (3x)
you've got such high demands!

high demands!

lyrics:

waiting all my days out for night, just to spend that missing the light
desperation calls, out from that gaze
I feel so safe, stuck in your haze
there's something about it, about it
[a voice comes creeping inside]
I just can't fight it off
caving right in your demons,
[clouding your reasoning mind]
you are my loudest thoughts
tell me what's wrong about the,
[keeping you restless at night]
foundation of my soul
you fill my mind up, and I just can't keep the thoughts away 'cause

you control the voice in my head, ooh
(everyone knows about it, we just don't talk about it
but we know a lot about you)
I'm dreaming through my real world instead, ooh
(this is my home, my place,
you draw me closer now, like separation's pain)

take my hand and open my eyes, revel in your sweet-talking lies,
let you take control, run down my brain
make me feel vain, loving my shame
and let me tell you something that you already know
(a voice comes creeping inside)
they say the devil's got a body made of flesh and bone, so
(clouding your reasoning mind)
take my broken body, let my thoughts ascend
(keeping you restless at night)
'cause baby it's too sweet to let the mind unbend, let

you control the voice in my head, ooh
dreaming through my real world instead, ooh

yeah, I said I'm breaking all these clocks off the walls
(turn 'em into sand and 
put it in the hourglass and
we can wipe the slate again)
I linger 'cause you get me to stall
(be here until the end, yeah
hollow you from within
and then we'll go around again, oh)

I said now you control the voice in my head,
I'm dreaming through my real world instead, yeah
the paranoia sets in, losing control
I'm fated just to live with my ghost

(ghost...2x)
I'm a little closer now, I'm gonna throw you off of my back
just slow these thoughts and line 'em up inside this zodiac brain
(ghost...2x)
I'm a little closer now, take my steps day by day
you're my worst habit now, impossible to break

habits

lyrics: 

feelings that surround you, the ones you came for
the ones you’d die for, the ones you’d stay for, yeah
all my life I’ve been searching just to find you
to surround myself with positive minds who
pull me up, lift my spirits back to good health
give me love, give me strength to live with myself
even when I, lack conviction
my own mind my, true affliction
you light my darkness, won’t take it all for granted 
I’ll take your kindness and stretch it across the planet, yeah

I could be your girl, and you could be mine
all I want is for this to last a lifetime
taking my guard down, yeah, you could be my savior
'cause all my life I thought fences make good neighbors 
(feelings that surround you, the ones you came for...)
taking my guard down, yeah, you could be my savior
'cause all my life I thought fences make good neighbors, yeah

live my life, a ghost; here in name only
choking on my words, how’d life get so lonely? 
from the comforts of, self-isolation
seems like from afar, oh, life feels much safer, I
put my walls up, life’s a hassle
tell myself I’m, building castles
falling captive now, to your siege surrounding, I
pull down my flood walls, and let your loving drown me, yeah 

(chorus repeats)
[...there’s a voice inside me that screams out keep my distance, yet
I will fight it, I will resist it...]

all through the night I, I thought I saw you
your light it guides me, your spirit shines through
I’m waking up now, all these years later
from the thought, yeah, that fences make good neighbors and

[fences make good neighbors...]

(chorus repeats)

neighbors

lyrics:

there at the schoolyard, down by the station
you were the source of, all my frustrations
I wrote your name on my cigarette and smoked it
won’t be the one on the butt end of the joke this time 
oh, shady lady, I just keep banking on you 
you cut me open and leave me bleeding out like a fool 
I’m, so shaky, baby, so bad at keeping my cool
you cut me open, to leave me broken down

another day of getting by
our breath aglow in the parking lot lights
swirling together, yours and mine 
sending a ghost off into the night
fresh-faced and ever pure,
promise to stay til the end of the earth
another day of getting by
you’ll always be at the front of my mind

I feel so stupid, must be contagious
or maybe I need to check my expectations
(check my expectations)
you take the truth, break it, bottle it and bend it
(bottled and bent)
I plug my ears, turn the volume up and send it, loud
hey, break me baby, I’ll leave my ego behind 
I’m learning slowly that grief’s the price of love,
I’ll be fine
I’ve felt maybe lately, my conscience feels like a wreck
just break me open and you could be my ego check

another day just getting by
I stand alone in the parking lot lights 
haunted by all these, ghosts of mine 
the memories fade to the dark of the night
run down but once so pure,
we dissipate to the end of the earth
another day just getting by
you’ll always be at the front of my mind 

I’ll always know you, I’ll always know you

I call your name from the rooftops, ever louder
I cannot see you, but I couldn’t be prouder
I wrote your name on a two-by-four before me
go ahead, ignore me, board me up and shut me out

always

lyrics:

I'm, wasting my time, wasting my time
at least it doesn’t bother me
I heard you talking bout some lovesick fool,
well at least you kind of thought of me
I said oh, I want just a little bit much
from you, my love, so I’m telling myself 
that it’s truly not lust if you’re sticking around 
I'm, wasting my time, wasting my time
just say it never bothered me
'cause it truly must not 
if I’m sticking around

you say the stars don’t shine on you, 
well you could watch them fall with me
(well you could watch them fall with me)
knock 'em all down, put 'em all back
(put 'em all back)
we’ll rearrange the galaxy
(rearrange the galaxy)
'cause I found myself in you
you’re nothing like I’ve ever seen
(you're nothing like I've ever seen)
pulling me close, pushing me back
(pushing me back) 
it’s like you've got a hold on me 

wasting my time, wasting my time, 
just say it never bothered me
you said there's nothing that I can't do, 
well I don't know what you saw in me
when, you say that I’m creative 
'cause I’m just frustrated
my hands are tied now, 
without you I feel naked
so pull me close, find the life that we've been waiting for

you say the days don’t end for you,
well you could pass them by with me
(well you could pass them by with me)
count 'em all down, live 'em all back 
(live 'em all back)
just wish away your time with me
(just wish away your time with me)
'cause I found myself in you
you’re nothing like I’ve ever seen
(you're nothing like I've ever seen)
pulling me close, pushing me back 
(pushing me back)
it’s like you've got a hold on me

I need you closer now, 
I don’t want anyone else 
I need you closer now (I need you closer)

I need you closer now,
you make me lose myself
I need you closer now
so come close to me, now

(chorus repeats)
