I had problems with the despot
So I tried to seem desperate
Desperate for less shit
I couldn't eat
How could I eat when maneuvering food down my throat is a feat in the cove of regrets?
Stand still
Drop your pills
Hold on
Stupid and gone
Clean to morose
Settling in a place of high hopes
Pay to come home
I completely missed the point of your reason to not go
Staged and I don't know a thing about honest people
Pay to come home
You were waiting for something
Complaining for nothing
If you'll be the padlock, I'll be the key
When we don't have to survive we might as well be free
Swallowed my patience out from this disease
It gets a little brighter until it's all complete
Now I'm sinking into
Now I'm thinking of you
Clean to morose
Settling in a place of high hopes
Pay to come home
I completely missed the point of your reason to not go
Staged and I don't know a thing about honest people
Pay to come home
It was all just a season
A rhyme not a reason

Golden Hour

Hey, what a surprise
I didn't know I could swim until I dove into your eyes
Paint me into the sky
Remember lavender days, acrylic ruby haze, and golden times
Azure by the handful
The hour's almost here
The ocean we've traveled has brought us to the edge, my dear
Hey, what a surprise
Caught in a web of stars we tried to gather from the night
Traced horizon lines
The day rolls away and everything's okay by our design
Azure by the handful
The hour's almost here
The ocean we've traveled
Has brought us to the edge, my dear

Sit down and we can talk forever
Forget about whatever happened before
I'm always chasing after words in my head when you're right here next to me
Repeat what you said
The moment after makes me physically weak
I tried to tell you but my mouth can't speak
Our lips together couldn't possibly be any closer or in line
This instance frozen in time
We'll sit alone on a crowded bus
Our separate homes separating us
The Risk Unknown Spelling Trust
You may not feel it but we're both falling fast
Intention's perfect so this moment won't last
I think it's funny when you think I'm kind of sad because I can't feel anything
Can't feel myself writhe
My breath escapes me as I focus on you
Let's find it now before my fingers turn blue
You may not know it but not knowing's the truth
Have I got something exciting to say to you
We'll sit alone on a crowded bus
Our separate homes separating us
The Risk Unknown Spelling Trust
Sit down and we'll figure out where to
It's too much, wait I've gotta think out loud
Think, think, think, think, think, think, think

Tell me what you think when you close your eyes
Show me what you see when you lose your mind
There's something in the ground, but I can't make it grow
I love the smell of rain more than you'll ever know
Sometimes I have no time
You'll have to find someone who's listening
Maybe it's make believe
I'll fake it then you tell me how you feel
I guess I should come clean
My hands are made of dirt
Iconic imagery
Don't tell me if this works
Would you know where to look if I told you to hide?
Plastic bags are ghosts of scary men who've died
Sometimes I have no time
You'll have to find someone who's listening
Maybe it's make believe
I'll fake it then you tell me how you feel
You're happy
Tell me what's wrong
I don't know if I lied, but I don't really care
Candy coated minds
It's not polite to stare
So heavy it might break, let's sit and watch it crack
Keep anything you take because I'll need it back
Sometimes I have no time
You'll have to find someone who's listening
Maybe it's make believe
I'll fake it then you tell me how you feel
You're happy
Tell me what's wrong

So we had a bad day, but I guess it's alright
We've still built more excitement than the world could buy, so I'm selling mine
I had a lot of solid reasons to think that you were wrong
But I can see it now
You and I were meant to get along
I see the way that you're looking at me
Am I the first thing that you've seen?
Vision is getting blurry
So I hang a pair of buckets right in front of my eyes
Feelings turn to worry
And I don't know what to do with myself tonight
You're so convincing to me
But not convincing enough
So long to the days when speaking wasn't a game
Now I feel like a pawn in a conversation fit for royalty
I wonder if I can watch my life pass me by
It's not a question but an answer to how I'll spend my time
You're dead to the world, but not to me
I've been thinking about you in my dreamless sleep
I see the way that you're looking at me
Am I the first thing that you've seen?

Somewhere in the hideout we can pass the time with space
Make it quick, don't spray it or you'll only make it harder to stay
Gonna find somebody who would rather be here than me
Rip apart the message that'll group the dupers with the dupees
Leave me alone and find your own way out
If you're worried about money you can have all of mines now
Free won't always mean that you're free
Simple words shoot through my body and sit themselves in front of me
Weave your hair in shapes that I can see
Tell the wolves divide me up so they can taste and claim a part of me
Sitting there is only gonna make your bones fall out
You're gonna have to glue yourself together
Why won't they hear me?
Never thought that I would ever have to see you walk out
You've got a reputation, keep it together
I won't be near you
About a quarter to rise, it's getting warmer outside
I'm pulling off all the skin that's been keeping me cold
Your mouth is full of knives
Sliced up apology that we own
Never gave her the time
She's got the sun on her mind
I'm pulling off all the meat that's been hanging from bone
She looks me dead in the eyes and says
"It's nice, because the steps are set in stone"
I can't live without you
Somewhere in the hideout we can pass the time with space
Make it quick, don't spray it or you'll only make it harder to stay
Gonna find somebody who would rather be here than me
Rip apart the message that'll group the dupers with the dupees
Leave me alone and find your own way out
If you're worried about money you can have all of mines now

You're not answering any of my messages
You dont come out for hours, does that make sense?
I keep missing connections, happens all the time
I can't follow through
I think I'm happy to be here
But I can't read the signs whenever I'm with you
Can we hang out?
Feels like I'm dying, but that's okay
It's just a risk we'll take when we're half awake
I'm attracted to you, I think I'm falling, but not into
I think I'm falling through the air because you can't be there
You've got fears like a cancer, and I can't be reassuring
Say everything's okay
No suggestions or answers
I don't know what I'm saying
Can't make them go away
What'd I get myself into?
I've probably known it from the start
I thought I'd fall in love with you
But I can't fix my broken heart
You get anxious and I get angry
Sounds like a mess from the get-go
But the rawest parts scab over whenever I'm with you

Lavender Ginza

Believe me when I want to leave
I used to hate you
I guess I'll never go to sleep
I've collected the faces
I've seen all the places
Never missed the scent of your breath
It wasn't easy
Your smile brought us closer to death
So now we wait for time to catch up to you
Tried to fit all of your entertainment into an hour or so
You're not just a failure, you're the number one complainer
Tried to fit all of the poor excuses that help you breathe when I'm not around
Am I still laughing or am I just crying on the inside?
Let's stow it away
If you love someone you'd better keep them safe
Can't remember the day
I'm lost, what happened?
Let's stow it away
I don't trust myself but I don't need your help
Let's stow it away
Well, I hope you don't try
Life is a dismal wake
Will this lavender ginza keep me safe?
This life's a dismal wake
I hope you find yourself in a pocket of clarity
Back home where you lost your voice
I brewed a cup and poured it down the drain
Sweat glands build a film on my skin
I'm so excited that I'm gone in a second
Love yourself
Love your friends
I love this feeling and I love when it ends
I love the anxiety you left inside of me, it trickles down into my veins again

Get Here In Time

I guess I could wait for something to change
Would you be here forever if forever were late?
Open the door, come on we're waiting for you
The service was great but I feel the same
I'm still hungry for answers in your starvation game
Could you be the one left hanging next to me by a noose?
It's not just a place or anything that you'll waste
It's the need to press charges when it's all fun and games
The words in your mouth make unbelievable sounds
There'll be no revolution when your fortune sinks
And even if you couldn't pull the lever, I'm dead
You thought it was gold, but it was bronze instead
It's tougher than it looks but easy to find a pair of dirty old boots than a pair that shines
Give up, you're a mess
So honest that I can blame you
It's not just a place or anything that you'll waste
It's the need to press charges when it's all fun and games
The words in your mouth make unbelievable sounds
There'll be no revolution when your fortune sinks
And even if you couldn't pull the lever, I'm dead
You thought it was gold, but it was bronze instead
I won't buy you a thing
Don't you agree?
My money is better spent on torturing me
Get here in time
