I was fine

Why’d you bring me back
From my exile
If you knew that you would go?
I didn’t need no one because
I barely was someone, now
You lift your hand, I start to float
After you’ve seen it, what do you do?
After you’ve seen it, what do you do?
I cut off all my desires,
Feel nothing when I’m not high
After you feel it what do you do
After you feel it what do you do
Until all my fountains run dry
A single drop and I’m a light again
But why?
I was fine
You play the suns game
No running from the day
Accept the ashes and start again
How many times can I
Be remade?
I’m still wishing for my
Vision of the start
We weren’t real we couldn’t bruise
We weren’t real we couldn’t bruise
I cut off all my desires,
My heart don’t care that I’m tired
Don’t stare into the sun
If you know what’s good for you
But tell me who hasn't tried?
A single drop and I’m a light again
But I swear
I was fine
Living through the night
I was fine
Before I saw the light
I was fine
I was fine
I was fine

trouble

She means well but
She only causes trouble
Nothing to fight for
Everyone’s hardened to gold
They all told her they’d make it
Swore on dreams of forever
Walks through her own little maze
Blows a kiss to the shine
I don't want to play anymore
These games are all the same
It’s not even love, what a bore
You just need someone to frame
I tear down the whole ceiling
For a lick of heaven
But you don't mind, you still
Need me to stand in for your god
I don't want to play anymore
Dancing for the rain
They’re melting down the drain, what a bore
Their hearts all taste the same
I mean well but I’ve only caused me trouble
Never mean it
Please don't be mad
At me

rapunzel's wish

Faraway lover, she goes
To the end of the world
Because she knows
I want, and want, and want
I’ve always longed for a prince
Who says he’ll rescue me but never comes
Only want and want and want
And want and want and
Want
Don't tell me to let down my hair
They'll cut it off and I’ll lose my head
I’ve done enough for the real world
I live in my head
And I stay sane instead of
Train stations are for falling in love
Always speeding away
My heart grows
The farther you are, you are, you are,
You are, you are,
You are!
Treading on water until I drown
but one day I’ll swim back to you
Waiting for you
I give up, I give up this fight
Believe it I’m tired
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
Don’t say I didn't warn you
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
You know that I tried
Don't tell me to let down my hair
They'll cut it off and I’ll lose my head
I’ve done enough for the real world
I live in my head
And I stay sane instead of loving

unhappy people

All those pretty words
But it ain't love
I know better
Than to believe them
I know you look pretty in my eyes
You no longer need a mirror
Your broken heart thirsts for blood
The gods of love need a heart to feast on
I know that you can’t help your crimes
That’s why I don’t love unhappy people
If you prove that I’m wrong
I will run to you
I don't want it to be true
If you prove that I’m wrong
I’ll gladly disappear
Into your world
Couldn’t you let me love my ghosts in peace?
Instead of infecting me with the real world
It can't offer the same relief now
Only your endless horizon
The sun sinks again
I know what I have to do
Say it’s not true
If you prove that I’m wrong
I’ll gladly disappear
Into your night
Believe it, I’m tired

visions
03:27

You break at will
Unspoken rules
I could go where you are
But you don’t
Want me there
I give away
You needed a doll
I built a palace
On these visions of love
To dream is almost better than to touch
To be seen always feels like too much
I am never satisfied with what I’m given, always
Reaching for horizons I can’t touch
Dreaming of you on your island without bridges
Leave me again
I love to search
I love to drown myself in visions of us
You won’t find me cause you never really cared
I can’t fault you cause I ask for what I’m given
Dreaming of the dark I was never really scared
But I’ve yet to make my peace with the living
I don’t need much
Just a flash of eyes
I’ve made a fortress
Of these visions of love
No one finds my heart
You leave at will
I was never there
I live on candy
And these visions of love

see you in my dreams

He said aren't you tired
Of moving houses?
The face in the mirror
Was never his
Was someone else’s
Love came my way, came my way
Is that what they say, what they say?
Just take me home
I’ve done enough damage
For one life
But I always find
The truth I looked for
In the fire
You don't have to stay
And I didn’t ask for your piece of mind
It’s between me and this place
can't walk away, walk away
Just take me home
And if you won’t
Don't waste my time
Because I will find
The truth I looked for
In the fire
And you’ll be sorry
You’ll be sorry
This is your warning
This is your warning
Another lie
Don't have to apologize
I’ll even it all
To the ground
The things I pull out of rubble are
Always worth the trouble, the
Things I pull out of rubble
Are always pure
Bare bones is all I want
Don’t dress it up
I’ll tear it down
Bare bones is all I want
Don’t dress it up
I’ll tear you down

kill your hope

Kill the hope
To hurt less
I’m full of holes
But I float
To another place
To another home
Don’t ask me where
No one can follow
Don’t ask me why
All that blood on your mouth
I can't take
Someone else
Showing me
That I’m right
Just another truth
Pouring into me
Expanding heart
Skin splitting
Why is it so hard?
All this dust on the ground
Kill your hope
To hurt less
I’m still alone
But I float
To another place
To another home
Don’t ask me why
Don’t ask me why
Don’t ask me why

motherless child
04:26

I might die if you ever disappoint me
I’m not being dramatic
So many have before you (me)
And sometimes I feel like a motherless child
I might die if you ever try to leave me
Even though I’ve done it to so many
I pray the stars forgive me
Cause sometimes
I still feel like a motherless child
Still feel
Like a motherless child
I wish that you could save me
No one loves me
Without needing a favor
I might die if you ever try to lose me
Because I couldn’t get more lost
And sometimes I still feel
Like a motherless child
Swear you’ll never leave
Swear you’ll never leave
Swear you’ll never leave
Swear you’ll never leave
Swear you’ll never leave
Swear you’ll never
I don't really want to be
Asking, but for you
I’d give up my pride
And I know
Sometimes you feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes you feel
Like a motherless child
So don’t leave
We can hide together
Don’t leave
We can hide forever
We can hide forever
We can hide forever
