Its wasting all your time
i don’t know what to call it anymore
some lower form of magic
you can pick up at the store
and at least I'm feeling something
so I can see where I'm going
I don’t wanna waste my time wandering around
I wanna waste it by myself
cuz I'm here
stuck outside
lost my keys
somewhere inside
yea im here
stuck outside
lost my keys
somewhere inside
im walking myself backwards
so i only know where I’ve been
and eventually I’ll find the edge and fall right off of it
im walking myself backwards
so i only know where I’ve been
and eventually I’ll find the edge and fall back into it
I don’t wanna waste my time wandering around
I wanna waste it by myself
I don’t wanna waste my time wandering around
I wanna waste it
cuz I'm here
stuck outside
lost my keys
somewhere inside
yea im here
stuck outside
lost my keys
somewhere inside

you really seem like you know what you’re doing and im just as inclined to give it a try ya id follow you tot he ends of the earth and it still hurts
to think about it
just give a second to flounder without it
does it bother you
to look at me
does it remind you
of what you can’t see
i can only go so far
to hide these parts of myself
and i guess its fuck me for even trying to exist
as anything beyond this little picture that you’ve drawn for yourself in your head
who’s that really gonna help in the end
does it bother you
to look at me
does it remind you
of what you can’t see
yeah i can only go so far
to hide these parts of myself
already wish i hadn’t started this conversation
were not even half way through
and i wanna give
but i end up taking
major and minor flaws always aching
and bothers you
to look at me
docuzs it reminds you
of what you can’t see
yeah i can only go so far
to hide these parts of myself
yeah i can only go so far to hide these parts of myself

Its in your hair
it in my eyes
its no surprise
we don’t realize
just what’s inside
it’s sweet poison
and we don’t feel it till it’s too late
so sweet going down
but the taste sticks on my mouth
a bitter film on my tongue
and i can’t get it off
and it gets to bright
so i can’t see
i guess its not for me
its too much time
i don’t feel real
its loosing its appeal
so sweet going down
but the taste sticks on my mouth
a bitter film on my tongue
and i can’t get it off
so sweet going down
but the taste sticks on my mouth
a bitter film on my tongue
and i can’t get it off
so not ready to go
and I keep wanting
for it the rest of my life
so sick and tired of the ecstasy
doesn’t really show cuz
i can’t take this shit too serious
or I just end up hating it
so sweet going down
but the taste sticks on my mouth
a bitter film on my tongue
and i can’t get it off
so sweet going down
but the taste sticks on my mouth
a bitter film on my tongue
and i can’t get it off

The Light

say its coming straight for you
imma bet that you will stay
and just think about what you could do
and which way you should face
Im not tryna come between you
and your personalties
i just wanna know what’s com ing next
cuz I can never really read you face
and this ones pulling me under
this one don’t feel right
I just need a few more pieces
then maybe ill see that light
if walls are closing in
you’re gonna get what you expect
if you don’t try and find a way
to get out of your head
keep on trying making mistakes
i can never get it right
without one little thing going wrong
i never fail to get a bite
and this ones pulling me under
this one don’t feel right
I just need a few more pieces
then maybe ill see that light
say its about to fall through
what are you prepared to do
in the moments where we don’t have time
to stop and think things through
nothing gonna come from nothing
its the only thing that’s true
separate specks may have their memories
but its never something new
and this ones pulling me under
this one don’t feel right
I just need a few more pieces
then maybe ill see that light

Cage
02:55
|

Shut the fuck up
listen to yourself
all of the rules you made up
your own little hell
a tiny cage
of what you hope will matter most
and that hope of course is built on a foundation that won’t float
and it’s been raining for months
you know what’s coming
we both have for so long
just waiting to se the sun again
maybe tomorrow
lets just give it a couple more days
and then well call it
Please just tell me what
I can do to
keep up with everything that I’m supposed to
I’m not trying to win anymore
Its hard enough just trying to enjoy it
can we prove it
do you wanna
is it worth all of this extra
talking over each other
the resolution’s forever changing
its all the movement rearranging
and it’s not all for the better
but there’s nothing that’s forever
So
Please just tell me what
I can do to
keep up with everything that I’m supposed to
I’m not trying to win anymore
its hard enough just tryna enjoy it
Electricity is sending you to me again
collecting commemorating
what were saving
for the big time
of our life
just waiting for the next line
on the next line
Please just tell me what
I can do to
keep up with everything that I’m supposed to
I’m not trying to win anymore
its hard enough just tryna enjoy it
Please just tell me what
I can do to keep up with everything that I’m supposed to
I’m not trying to win anymore
its hard enough just tryna enjoy it

Shimmer
03:16

all the wrong reactions
now just come to me
standing in the back where i can barley see
I said i can’t take it all so seriously
and she said
you don’t really
stars that won’t see anything see everything forever
shimmer ah your standing next to me and calling it forgettable
Im staring into your eyes
and you’re staring back
Im so sick of wasting my time
being sad
you said baby one night
can we just relax
Im so scared of what would happen if I did
I can see that I m moving backwards on the outside looking in
trapped in a shell floating in my own hell
if i trust in this shit
what will i let in
stars that won’t see anything see everything forever
shimmer ah your standing next to me and calling it forgettable

Can't Sleep
03:33
|
|||
you know that i can never fall asleep so easily
I'm always staying awake i got a chaotic brain
sometimes i just lay there and stare at your face
you’re so fucking pretty it fucks with my brain
and I'm not trying to stay
but something keeps me in place
and its not just that face
its everything
do you think i wanna have it that way
is there something that you think I'm gonna say
with nothing and everything
always getting in the way
I'm always playing through the pain
not saying anything
and I'm not trying to prove anything
whatever serves your ways
whatever holds the weight
and I'm asking for anything
that'll hold my hands away from that sort of thing
cuz you know what they say about idling
do think I wanna have it that way
is there something that you think I'm gonna say
with nothing and everything
always getting in the way
of what I'm gonna say
figure it out
try to set it up straight
these are the habits
we don’t wanna break
you can let it be
or let there be change
and you can keep moving in one place
do think I wanna have it that way
is there something that you think I'm gonna say
with nothing and everything
always getting in the way
its nothing you haven’t before
its nothing forget it ill close the door
who cares I'm not trying to start a war
i guess its over
who cares I'm not trying to start a war
i guess its over
who cares I'm not trying to start a war
i guess its over
