Who’s throwing the shade now
(I wanna hate you)
I’m not feelin’ the blades
(I wanna be you)
World’s watching you sink now
I’d love to call this a dream
Plug in and wind down
(I wanna feel you)
No steady road to redeem
(I wanna be you)
It’s all on sale now
I’d love to feel like a dream
This is much bigger than it used to be
I’m afraid you’ll never get used to me
Unlock the doors but still have more keys
This is much bigger than it used to be
I’m afraid you’ll never get used to me
But that's not anything worth mentioning

Got to get inside
You got to get inside if you wanna
Got to get inside
You got to get inside if you wanna
If I can manage to undo all the damage
Do you think it’d leave me better off without it
There may be ways that I keep the score
But that don’t mean I can do it anymore
You saw me driving down the coast in my Chevy Luv
I won’t be looking back at our, at our burning bridge
If it’s not one thing with you then it’s another
I’m trying hard not to blow my only cover
If there’s just one thing that’s for sure
It’s that you don’t care about me anymore

Farewell
03:23
|

Well I guess that it’s over
I imagine you’re pretty happy
Thought I moved on past this
But I’m stuck reminiscing
Saw you stepping out
Saw you fall behind
Saw you close your eyes
Goin’ under
What is this
Where am I
Trying to grasp these fleeting lies
Call me sentimental
I just wanna feel real
Well I guess this is farewell
All this time I’m so numb now
Fill the void till it consumes me
Keep on looking around me
My mind is confused
It’s never ending
You lit the way and you burned us all down
You made the waves and you let us all drown
You shut the door and you locked us all out
You made the waves and you let us all drown
You let us all down
(are you for real)
You shut us all out
(are you for real)
You let us all down
(are you for real)
You let us all drown
(are you for real)
(I close my eyes and you’re gone again
We ripped the page where the glory ends
I close my eyes and you’re gone again
I’ve ripped my rage from the slated edge)

Halo
03:12
|

You said you’d never take it all
but this is all I have left of you
I’m kicking all the dust you shed
down this shady avenue
Is it all a shame if we die alone
Is it all okay if we never find our halo
I’m hearing all the seashell whispers
as they slide inside the wake
Or maybe it’s the sigh of shadows
right before I break
I’m painting all the stained glass mirrors
as they’re staring back at me
I’ve chosen all the shades of nothing
cuz they hold no memory

Siren

I’m locking the doors
I’m shutting the blinds
Gonna stay inside
For the rest of my life
I wanna survive
Our leaders are liars
Our hills are on fire
I don’t know who to be
Gotta save everything
I wanna survive
And I’ll be there for you
Will you be there for me
Gotta close my eyes
Gotta keep it inside
I wanna survive
If you like to suffer
Can’t even talk about it
(You take it all)
Give none but you’ll take it all
And you’ll crush my generosity
Cuz privilege is what got you here
Play victim one more time
Use him as your scapegoat
And you’ll talk that talk till you believe
Cuz everything is circumstantial
I hear an older version of me
Whispering
But I don’t hear what I say
I’m fading away
I don’t wanna talk about
(You take it all)
You gave nothing and you took it all
And you crushed my generosity
Cuz privilege is what got you here
You used him as a scapegoat
So yea just talk that talk
Until you believe
that everything is circumstantial

Faded

At the crest of the wave when it crashes to the shore
It leaves me in the sea change
It leaves me wanting more but
What I remember
What I make up is the same
And cut me in half
But your magic starts to fade
Hop up like you mean it
Cuz I don’t want that kind of feelin’
I can’t believe we’re living at the exact same time
Your past and your future much more brilliant than mine but
What I remember
What I make up is the same
I close my eyes to feel it
I close my eyes to pull you back again
(I want it back)
Meet me at the starship
With your bags packed
And all of the supplies
I want to make it to the next world
Before the end of time
What I remember
What I make up is the same and
You have the key codes
But won’t use them to save me
I want it back
(fade)
I wanna fly, way up in the sky
(fade)

Bloom

I beat the sun again
straight to my head again
She feels like a drink in me
Let's light the match again
Her breath is quivering
Sleep in the wake of our dreams
It comes around again
The same old spin again
I'm trapped in this ship at sea
They’re standing over me
While this mosaic bleeds
A story she won’t let me speak
(I’m driven by fear)
All these wild flowers again are in bloom
Splitting in half, what won't bend will break
I feel the blood rush in
Like unrolling ribbons
It feels like I’m finally free
I don’t know what line you see
What’s right in front of me
I’ve been out here too long, get me
(I’m driven by fear)
All these wild flowers again are in bloom
Staring at the ceiling balancing tears
All these spinning memories turn into years
Slipping through my fingers, falling like rain
Splitting in half, what won’t bend will break

Patient

I’m just the dog that eats the food
You stuff with pills to change my mood
But I’ll play along with you
I think I’m circling round the drain
(spinning and circling round the drain)
I feel the virus in my brain
(can’t hear the voices call my name)
But who am I to go insane
Now I’m as clean as sterile sheets
(now I’m as clean as sterile sheets)
Tethered and snapping in the breeze
(feeling the static while I sleep)
A perfect little dream
Show me the unrelenting stare
(Show me the unrelenting stare)
My eyes are locked inside the mirror
(search for a sign that isn’t here)
But I’m falling everywhere
(I’m running)
I can’t hear my voice
You’re talking over mine
A quarter hour gone
Whiplash and broken bones
And I can’t feel my legs
Tired from the day
Close my eyes again
Seeps into my cells
I’ll hibernate in hell
I can’t hear my voice
I can’t hear my voice

Pretty Killer

The last time you’ll ever see me
Is on closed circuit tv
Acid air, crusted to the pavement
All my hair, running from my body
They don’t care, when and where it’s rotting
Everywhere
They can't find my fingers
They can’t find my clothes
The morning splits the night wide open
Only morning knows
So I thought you’d find me here
No I’m gone
So I thought you might be there
No you’re gone
(Slow the burn)
Last night a summer secret
Last night the streets were ours
(There’s no going home, when darkness follows)
JK the streets were never
A place for little girls
I waited a while
Till your senses kicked in
But I was left to the mice
And I gave it all in
Cuz I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

Live Laugh Die

Who the fuck do you think you are
I’m not an open door
Spilling your shame on me
You get no apology
Your world is a joke
Your god is manufactured
You’re a master of fear to believe this broken record
Your truth is a shattered mirror
You only take what you can’t feel
(if I’m erased, take my place)
I wanna believe your synthetic lies
Was the warmth a genuine sign
You looked away, but saw me drowning
So unaware, disregard my fragility
Recycled words shared with a smile
Laugh it off cuz there’s no answer
The masquerade captivates till I reconcile
Now aren’t you just so clever
What’s that
Who’s there
Okay I’ve gained my bearings
Knocked down, back up again

Hot Feel

We have got to keep it together
We have got to keep it together
We have got to keep it together
We’re tethered
Whether we can make it forever
Whether we can make this forever
Whether we can make it forever
Or never
We have got to keep it together
We have got to keep it together
Whether we can make this forever
Or never
I’m hot for just one final feel when it
Knocks you back like it’s the only thing real
But I can’t believe that nothing worked out
Cuz they kept us running til we’re out of our breath
All the voices
(We have got to keep this together,
we have got to keep it together)
Flooding out into the streets
(Whether we can make this forever,
or never)
All the voices
(We have got to keep this together,
we have got to keep it together)
Bring it back this time to keep
(Whether we can make it forever,
or never)
