Sometimes alone, I list all the things you made me better,
Oh we are all so alone in a busy room without you.
But when I heard what you said, I had a mental car crash.
I lose you more and more each day
My universe is slowly getting bigger,
You drift to a better constellation
Don’t miss what we had sometimes
Maybe I imagined you were with me the whole time.
All that matters is when we die love is all we leave behind.
But I don’t wanna. Ahh.
I lose you more and more each day
My universe is slowly getting bigger,
You drift to a better constellation
Don’t miss what we had sometimes
I’m beaten and bleeding on the school grounds of my mind
All that matters is when we die love is all we leave behind.
How cruel I imagined you were with me the whole time.

Waking On Concrete

All I know is your face, it makes me want to know your name.
everything I ever do never works but I must let my hope remain.
My mouth is worried to speak, so I tread carefully so I don’t step on your angel feet.
When I first saw you, I probably stared for too long.
My eyes were just trying to invite you into my hallucinatory world.
My mouth is worried to speak, so I tread carefully so I don’t step on your angel feet.
I’m your moon, I orbit you
Ooh I am your moon, I orbit you.
Oooh falling for you is like falling off a cliff,
Watching you walk out the room it’s like seeing the colour drain from the sunset.
I feel like I am living in a daydream, one that will have me waking on concrete.
Ooh I am your moon, I orbit you.
All I know is your face, it makes me want to know your name,

Asphyxiation

Strangers on the street, smoke in their lungs
And we go drown the colours in our minds
I know I shouldn’t be thinking about our tomorrows yet,
then we get to your place, the stars are seeing me.
Then I’m asleep, in a state of delirium,
I’m outside my body and I’m afraid of the creation I call myself
I need a technician to fix these wires in my brain
that make me afraid and see everyone different than the rest.
Why is it wrong to love a certain somebody?
Now attacks of panic are crawling into my brain
I live in eccentric threat and I can never breath properly.
It feels like my lungs are always trying to break free from this hell.
Oh In a state of delirium, I’m outside orbiting my body.
And I am scared of the creation I call myself.
I don’t remember getting these bruises,
My heart bursts in flames, thinking of you.
So I don’t follow your advice, and I get in a car with someone nice I don’t know and drive off.
I’m scared of my own shadow,
at least that’s what my breaking ribs tell me.
I walk the overpasses
The cars roar past, engulfed in darkness,
I can’t help but find despair in the reality I have made my own.
Because no-one else created this weak skeleton that stumbling, follows me home.
Oh I’m scared of my own shadow
Oh in a state of delirium, I’m outside orbiting my body.
And I am scared of the creation I call myself.
I don’t remember getting these bruises,
I don’t remember getting this clueless
This definitely isn’t the life normal people do
The sky is exploding in psychedelic colours

Tikaboo Peak

Plagued with a mannered illness wanting to go home to a feeling never experienced
In a labyrinth of human creation, where you were told there were monsters you only saw mirrors
I would’ve stayed here on this peak of land, if it meant not leaving without you.
Pull those rusty knives out of your back.
It’s those thunderstorms for thoughts that are what keeps calling danger to your doorstep.
Apocalypses have to have their gore and glory.
I would’ve stay here on this peak of land, if it meant not leaving without your body.
Pull those rusty knives out of your back.
Your love is killing me, and you're killing me with love.
I would’ve stayed
I would’ve stayed here on this haunted peak of land, if it meant not leaving without you next to me.
Pull those rusty knives out of your broken back.

Ode to Addiction

I take the bus far away, because I don’t want to be alone with myself just yet
Cause when I’m with you, I feel like I’m fulfilling what this moving rock grew me to achieve.
So I guess I’ll go to the bus stop night,
I get so afraid when I run in the dark but if I don’t how will ever home
I’ve got to be ruled by you,
I’ve got to make you into my whole life
I’ve got to make you destroy my life
My sky has never been this high
I got to be ruled by you
I’ve got to make you into my whole
I gotta to make you destroy me
Because being in this danger keeps me alive.
I’ve got to be ruled by you,
I’ve got to make you into my whole life
I’ve got to make you into my whole life
Cause maybe my sky has never been this high
I got to be ruled by you
You know I always have to make you destroy me
I always have to make you destroy my life
Because being in this danger keeps me alive.
I have never got the right amount of change,
and they are always late.

Adriatic Seas

Your face suits the alleyways, that know our names.
We may be poor but the sky is the colour of the worlds most precious jewels.
That daze is your own creation
You hate me don’t you
You don’t get me do you
I'm only screaming my fears with a melody
There is a divide,
this flaw is the hate
The men in white seats are spectating us die,
You're gracefully destroying us.
A war on unconsciousness is around me, it was in my hands before I lost my breath.
Psychosis is around every corner
Pumping your stomach and calling your mother
Nothing is new,
There is a divide,
this country’s flaw is its hate
The men in white seats are spectating us die, pills in our guts.
You're gracefully destroying us.
Oooohohohhoh
Oh it how it is
Oh it is how it is they say
They will not, they will not listen
They will not, they will not listen
Nothing is wrong, they say nothing is wrong
They will not, they will not listen
They will not, they will not listen
Nothing is wrong, they say nothing is wrong
How could they ever be wrong
You are spectating us die
There is a divide

Bleeding Wasteland

The universe is an endless series of explosions
I like to stay awake haunted by the colours you saw in me
I love it when we walk around and pretend that we’re older than we are
I wish I didn’t lose that thing of yours
I used to steal
So I’m glad I’m heartless
Otherwise I wouldn’t be happy
I’m sick of your breath down my neck
Do you see me care
Finally I know I was not born to be alone
I’ve got a soul best friend
You ended up worse, you’re dead to me
So I’m glad I’m heartless
Otherwise I wouldn’t be happy
And I’m sick of your breath down my neck
Do you see me care
Do you see me care
I’m better, I’m better without you
I’m better, I’m better without you
A safer version of my mind is here to stay
I’m better, I’m better now you’re gone.
I’m better, I’m better even if not for long.
To be afraid of the void is to be afraid of myself.
So I’m glad I’m heartless
Do you see me care
Do you see me care
Do you see me care
Do you see me care

Dissonant Colours

I’m reading a newspaper that I stole, with my smashed phone on the floor,
It’s a gallery of flaws.
If I let this spark just drift away,
I will be ever more coal than before.
You’re not easy to forget,
But I’m sick of your breath on my neck
These dark streets are afraid of me,
I give a feared sense of familiarity
I want you to ruin my night
Let’s cut off some friends
Cause when I wake nobody’s there;
You are the one who always saves me in my daydreams
Feel free to keep hurting me
Because you always find a way to save me from myself
I don’t even care for myself when you are there, I’m just content.
It’s arrived at time to try and talk to you,
I always need a reason, because I respect your life so much,
I don’t want you to have to waste it with me.
It’s dark, but I only ever just want to be in your company.
I want you to ruin my night
Let’s cut off some friends
Cause when I wake nobody’s there;
I want you to ruin my night
Everything has to end
You are the one who always saves me in my nightmares
Feel free to keep hurting me
Because you always find a way to…. save me from myself
I don’t even care for the fear, I’m just content that your here
When I awake I miss my daydreams,
Why are you never actually there
But no
Please don’t make this it, don’t move away.
Ruin me, but stay
My eyes always have to go and spoil my lies
You’re the one who always saves me in this nightmare
I had a dream I cried to you on the phone,
But in reality, they rain down on the floor when I’m alone.
When I fall awake and stay asleep I. want. You. There.
Ooh when I fall asleep for the last time, I want you there, but you’ll probably be dead.
