So lovely but so terrified
She's so tired
She dreams of escape but won't get away
She's so tired
Breathe in, Breathe out
With such hope in love and belief in life
She's so tired
She can't keep it in but won't let it out
She's so tired
Breathe in, Breathe out
Now's your time to sleep, your time to let it go
Just let it go
Take whats left to make it feel like home.
Now's your time to sleep, your time to let it go
Just let it go
Take whats left to make it feel like home

Take all our fears and throw them to the wind
We'll send them off to sea on fire.
I won't give up, fighting like the breeze
Freezing thoughts of you my darling.
Still i kept you in my dreams, though i'm never sleeping
though we're lost not lonely, know you've never left me.
Raise Alarm. The Fire's burning us.
And your soul, it kept me here. And i won't, no i won't (go)
Longing, waiting, lost not lonely. Young and lasting our hearts.
And you'll still remember me, well that's the thought i'm keeping.
though we're lost not lonely, know you're always with me.

Rust and Decay
05:12

I’m constantly a fading light,
Never shining always there
Betrayed and faded cautious fear
Of what you leave in thinning air
Treading soft on broken glass
You’ve created a cliché
It’s in you just to disappear
Refused to say I claimed perfection
I refused to walk away
Can you admit to your mistakes
Or focus more on mine?
I’m not the monster that you speak of
Refuse to see the best in me
Claimed I lied and cheated
Clear your name of everything
Sing how you’ve always wanted
Glad I gave you escape
The heat from your summer; fading
Winter is calling late
Was it worth it?
Taking what’s left
To let it rust and decay
Fading pictures nothing’s sacred
Memories in different frames
Fill the lens with different filters
Missing scars, you’re still the same
Admit defeat, I’ll go down swinging
Consequences will not change
Break my home, won’t break my family
Even through the tears and pain
I’m sorry if I play the victim
Excuses get the best of me
I claim regret in what I’m saying
But smile inside repeated dreams
Surround yourself with empty servants
Use me as your target; aim
Left alone and alienated
I’ll awake the better man
Now you can sing with who you want and
You need not clear your name
Pretend like you summer’s fading
Don’t fall to my winter’s fame
Was it worth it?
Taking what’s left
To let it rust and decay
But you keep me safe in your heart, girl
Cause I never was one to leave a scar
I just let you in to far
You always wanted escape from my winter
Just tell me it’s worth it, don’t call me your summer
Sing how you’ve always wanted
Glad I gave you escape
Don’t claim that your summer’s faded
Bow to my winter’s fame

its the state of the union
a state of the heart
its a complicated tapestry
of science and art
when true intimacy doubles as
a welcoming door
looking past the past and failures
picking love off the floor
(take away fear i should be getting better)
I remember the great defender
keep her locked on on every thought
Never wanted to break or bend her
open up her last resort
You gotta get up up and open
you gotta get up get up right
cause when we get up up and open
thats already half the fight
(how can you feel lost yet wanted)
And in our fragile state
i know we're vulnerable
but if we get up get up right
we'll never get us get us wrong
and in your fragile state
at your most beautiful
i know you'll get us get us right
and never set up for the fall
if you're broken and shattered
a shipwreck of sorts
if you're sick of all the ups and downs
and doubt and remorse
you're beauty comes from honesty
your vulnerable state
and this ship you've wrecked
will find a mooring free from the hate
(i forget to breathe if we're being honest)
I remember the great defender
keep her locked on on every thought
Never wanted to break or bend her
open up her last resort
You gotta get up up and open
you gotta get up get up right
cause when we get up up and open
thats already half the fight
(comfort me within your promise)
open your eyes, are you scared?
theres no need to deny it all.
Overwhelmed, but prepared,
with a hint of whats beautiful.
Dream in words, well aware,
that of course we could fall
that far.

V1
You said i kept you in the dark
that you're the one thats lonely
and i'm the one who's distant
You wouldn't tell a soul.
It shouldn't be this hard for you
When i'm the one who's breaking
yet you're the one withdrawing
disguising it as love
Pre
And I Know I'm not the only one
to smile within regret
and you're not a fucking angel
well at least not that i've met
well not just yet
Chorus
Your town is home to a ghost
who walks around and haunts us all
say we're better off alone
Your town is home to a ghots
She walks around, convinces us
that we're better off alone
V2
Just picture this i'm here
you don't make a sound
and i don't need a soul
when yours is clearly not around
And you are not alone,
Alone could lead to love,
Love misguides to hope,
when hope is not enough
Bridge
Alone in the dark, you lying coward
come face this shadow we once called home
oh in the darks where we said it all.
Pre
And i know i'm not the only one
to smile within regret
You stupid fucking angel
i just wish we hadn't met....
this is it.
Outro
And i know this isn't heaven
Cause you think this all is fair
That i should not be forgiven
For this fire you wildly spread
And this town is full of fucking ghosts
Who will not let it go.

"You Kiss By The Book"
06:50

Time I try my best to leave (but)
Your cerulean eyes
Are moons toward my tide
That pull me to your love
Hearts beat and we are scared
Lost, but fully aware
Of consequence and lines
Crossed but fighting from the heart
First, glances of a smile
Two hearts clearly collide
Third scene is where we lust
For nothing but our time
But I'll sleep alone.
So easy to decide
Our loves too much to hide
All secrets will unfold
We're fearlessly alive
So cut to where we lay
A pact of love was made
Not all true lovers win
But all true love will reign.
And I'll sleep alone.
In blackened rooms I light a pathway
with candle burning toward your tomb.
I kiss your lips though they're cold, not breathing.
I won't regret what we got into.
Relax my eyes and let go of reason
I feel the poison enter my room.
In the past life this was never normal
but we'll accept what we gave in to.
But in the next life I swear you'll Love me.
I swear you'll love me. We'll Catch up soon.
But until then. I'll sleep alone.
Until then I will sleep alone.
If you're real, god, just speak to me and me alone.
And with her please take me and I won't be alone.
And I'm too cold and weak to be alone.
Into the depths we'll speak and I cannot be alone.
In the next life I swear you'll love me,
I swear you'll love me, we'll catch up Soon.
But until then...
