It's A Lie 04:11
The words hung from the tip of your tongue Let's get out of here What a blessing, what a curse And the burning in your throat Your eyes were tired and weak And wandering But never have I seen bruises on my mother Never have I seen the fist of my father raised in a drunken stupor Never have I looked down at myself and swore Never to leave this bed again Respect, what a myth, what a mess, what am I I am mute Respect, what a myth, what a mess, what am I I am mute What words could I craft To save you from a sinking ship now How many kisses can I give Before color returns to your skin Where could I take you That would finally feel like home, And you could tell me things are fine But it's a lie. And you could tell me things are fine But we both know it's a lie. Tell me was I good to you Was I good enough Did I cast out every shadow Even if it was just for a while Tell me was I what you needed Tell me did I give it to you Was I ever your light Even if it was just for a while What words could I craft To save you from a sinking ship love How many kisses can I give Before color returns to your skin Where could I take you That would finally feel like home And you could tell me things are fine But it's a lie. And you could tell me things are fine But we both know it's a lie.

Temple 03:40
I swore that I'd be okay, but I'm not, A jumbled mess, tongue tied in a knot I swore that I would be fine, But I cannot read between the lines. Why can't I get out of bed anymore. I'm drowning in a sea that never meets the shore. You know this winter will consume me. I'm a man trapped and without a key. C'mon and help me out of this cage, Stuck in here day after day, C'mon and set me free from my cage, I'm not the only one who needs to be saved. I told you I'd be alright, Crossed my heart and hoped to die, But now your star in all of my dreams, Darling I'm bursting at the seems. Little did I know my temple would collapse. I traveled in your bones and drew out all your maps, Little did I know my temple would come crashing down. Darling I'm a lost child waiting to be found.

Stupid Boy 04:45
You said "I'm doing fine It's not as bad as it seems" But your hands are cold, and my eyes are blind Do you remember how to dream. You told me about your dad "He's a shallow man, and he'll have a shallow grave, I don't remember when he wasn't bad, He's not the kind that you could save" You told me about your mom "I bet she can taste the other girls on his breath, She's never seen the seas at rest, She's such a light, he's a mess." And they wonder why I cannot eat And they wonder why I cannot sleep I cannot think I cannot be You asked me about myself "I'm a stupid boy with crooked hands and tired eyes, I'm a fickle thing to keep up on the shelf, But I'll stay by your side." You looked at me, Like I had set fire to your soul Like I had given you the key To everything you'd ever need. I told you I will Teach you how to eat I told you I will Teach you how to sleep Teach you how to think Teach you how to be You looked at me, Like I had set fire to your soul Like I had given you the key To everything you'd ever need. And set fire to your soul.

After You 03:38
Look at these hands they don't help, they just hurt Don't you know I'll be here at your best and at your worst Look at these eyes they don't shine so bright, they don't shine so bright Don't you know you've always been a light, you've always been a light I'm always running after you I'm after your shadow, I'm after your echo I'm always running after you I'm always chasing the past Look at this heart when did it get so dark, when did it get so dark Don't you know when you speak I see sparks, I see sparks Look at these lips they don't speak the truth, they don't speak the truth Don't do this to yourself what's the use, what's the use I look for you in everyone I look for you in everyone You always shut your eyes, shut your eyes You only see me in the things you despise You used to look at me like I was an open window Now when you see me it's like I'm a closed door I'm a closed door I was an ending but you wanted an intro I wanted a story to tell but never this war I'm always running after you I'm after your shadow after your echo I'm always running after you I'm chasing the past you

Museum 04:10
When it got cold you bundled up, in your dad's coat And asked me for a light We would lay where the kids would play Early Monday morning After your coffee, You stained my skin With ash and red lipstick We wandered round, in places We had no business being Well the loss of innocence Is hard to watch Knowing it your fault I feel the guilt I feel the guilt I feel the guilt Was it my toxicity Or the cigarettes That gave you your black soul I guess the winter, Finally got to you Cause you turned cold Honey you turned cold Well the loss of innocence Is hard to watch Knowing it's your fault I feel the blame I feel the blame I feel the blame Creeping in I feel the blame Under my skin You used to tell me I was the only boy You'd ever loved But now I'm known As the boy who Ripped up the art museum The boy with poison in his throat The boy with poison in his throat The boy with poison in his throat The boy with poison in his throat

Pesky Dogs 04:38
I can feel your sorrows rushing in bones I can feel your heart beat thumping in your throat You were at home thinking Why do everybody feel so alone I can hear your footsteps creaking down the stairs I can see the blood and the tears on the tile floor You crying there thinking, well nobody cares You were screaming out, I can't take it, I can't take anymore I can hear the sirens headed for your front door The neighbors pesky dogs were barking from their back porch Your parents were crying it broke their hearts it broke theirs souls Well it shook them to their core But her note read Mom and dad I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let you down But all you'll find tomorrow morning Is a body on the ground I just want to be normal, I just wanted to feel okay But all I really wanted Was to be Happy.
