Eyes

There you were
The look on your face
While the scent of perfume
Tries to mask our mistakes
You blink too much
Or at least that’s what it seems
When I’m stuck in your eyes
Until I crawl out or bleed
I’m afraid of you
Or at least myself
And how I get when I’m around you
And there’s nobody else
You’re every shade of
beautiful and it shows
But I’m the shade stuck on your back
When I watch you walk home
There’s nobody like you
But I wish there were five
So maybe one of them would love me
And the others would die
I love you so much that it makes my heart blue
Or at least that’s what I tell myself when I’m sleeping next to you

Holding (prod. Ondi Vil)

I can't hold myself together when I'm all alone.
I can't hold myself together unless I'm holding you.

Normal Things
03:46
|

|
I don’t wanna stand up
I like it here
It’s so warm and safe
There’s no more tears
I’m afraid I’m gonna trip
If I decide to get up
So maybe I’ll just sit
Think of all the ways I’ve messed up
And it’s the normal things
Like the way you sing
And how you speak to me
All this eye contact it leaves
Me in a pile on the floor
I hope it’s not too cold
So we can sing some more
I can put my mask on again
So I can show all my friends
The person they want to see
That we both know they all need
From me
I’m sorry
I can’t to the phone right now
I’m in a pile on the floor
And I’m not sure if I’m getting up

Medicate the cut
While sharpening the blade
It’s always in my ear
It’s always in my face
Here to fill me up
To pour out the pain
Take me away
Tell me that I’m pretty
Keep me wide awake
It’s a fan of me and all my worst mistakes
Keep me as a pet
A leesh to keep me tame
But it pulls me so tight
Around
My neck
And I deserve
Everything
I get
Promise me
You’ll take us away
Promise me
You’ll take us away
Hold my hand while we both jump to heaven
Hold my hand while we both jump to heaven
It doesn’t look so far from here
Until we jump
Until we fall
And now we’re falling
Now we’re falling
Oh no

Love
You’re someone I lean on
But I’m always held unsteadily your love’s the only remedy for what’s inside
Lost
Nobody’s searching for me
Now I’m lost
Nobody’s looking for me
Love
You’re all that I needed
My heart is beating faster than my footsteps when I passed her as I ran away
Lost
Nobody’s searching for me
Now I’m lost
Nobody’s looking for me

Shuttered Windows
02:58
|
|||
|
Quiet hallways, dim lights, with something to muster the pain
Ice cold air with plenty to drink for more to pour from my brain
Shuttered windows to block the glances from my piano keys
Locked doors, completely alone, so no one is left to leave
Perfect angles, no more dust, everything’s in its place.
Can only concentrate once draw in my head can’t find a trace
Turn off my phone, ignore any calls, pretend I don’t really care.
Now to myself, pick up a pen, plenty of pain to share
Recalling the sting, remembering laughs, and times that I bemoan
Nowhere to go, no one to go back to, nothing like feeling alone
Loss of confidence, loss of time, no need to stop now
Continue the flow of thoughts so honest, soon I’ll be kicked out of town
Happiness fades, old pains raise, loss and laughing through tears
Just keep laughing, just keep writing, it’s never too late for cheers
Now all to dust, I see it all now, but soon it may fade to black
Although the thought of you may be fleeting, my pen always carves my way back
So I will dwell, I will hate, I will abide in this state.
Pick up my guitar, and sing of my terrible fate
Mock it up to a career path, a life that I chose
When perhaps I only do all this because I can’t let you go

Sandcastle
03:00
|

|
I built us a sandcastle
To survive the crashing waves
And I hope you can see it
Yeah I wish you could see it
I couldn’t have made it without you
It’s a home for both of us
I’m afraid you don’t need it
But I do
Of course it’s a metaphor
I was always full of those
How was the wedding?
I don’t really want to know
I hope that you’re wonderful
You deserve everything you’ve got
This song is goodbye now
It’s been enough time now
For my sandcastle to dry

You'll always love me.
