Lost!
I can’t find myself
Panic alone and then pull it together
No, nothing made it easier to cope with the fact that you wish that I was somebody else
When your fragile hands made a bed of grief
You shape-shifted into a shell
(And in my absence, how did you sleep?)
Pulled to the wayside
On the way I found out your hands were the cause
Don’t bring me down while I’m burning away because you’re
Lost and Found
I’m trying to keep my head held high
While I’m following myself down
With an angry heart and fragile hands
You have made a bed of grief
And in my absence
How did you sleep?
Pulled to the wayside
On the way I found out your hands were the cause
Don’t bring me down while I’m burning away because you’re
Lost and Found
You know that’s all that you are to me
Don’t bring me down while I’m burning away because you’re
Lost and Found
Your fragile hands made a bed of grief
And in that bed
How the fuck did you sleep?
In my absence, how did you sleep?

Fist to Wall

I carved circles in the dirt
To try and soothe the ache of the empty that you made
Replaced and watched it
Given to a home that was broken, left alone
Whos boards I ripped away with the hands the rats have made
A fist-to-wall approach made it easier to cope
With all the shitty days that I let get in the way
(Don't look for answers at all)
Fear found us out
Damn, I calculated it all wrong
I know I have to give to get
But suffer all the consequence?
A fist-to-wall approach made it easier to
Cope with all the shitty days that I let get in the way
Don’t look for answers in all of the wrong places or
Don’t be surprised when you find I’m only hollow on the inside
A fist-to-wall approach made it easier to
Cope with all the shitty days that I let get in the way
Given to a home that was broken, left alone
Who’s boards I ripped away with the hands the rats have made
A fist-to-wall approach made it easier to
Cope with all the shitty days that I let get in the way

Don’t believe the messenger
We can’t afford the mess
Don’t erase the damage
Don’t break the silence
Don’t hang me out and hope the weather stays dry
I am dyed in the wool and now I’m in love with a ghost
I'm lost inside
(A mile of shade)
I'm short on time
(A wall of shame)
I'm lost inside
(We feel the wave)
The longest dream
(Hear me beg)
"Mother of Bombs
Sing us a song
Clean up our shit
When we go wrong
Still life in tombs
Waiting on Time
To give back to me
What is rightfully mine"
(Will you be my star when I am lost?)
Dyed in the wool but I found a way out
Keep your curses
I’ve got a few of my own pulling me down
All of this is pulling me down and
I was lost inside
I was short on time
Inside the longest dream
(Will you be my star when I am lost?)

Empty Glow
03:44

Your golden color began to fade
A muted gray came to take its place
And now you're feeling rusted and you don't deserve this at all
I’m caught in the endless glow
The empty, golden glow
I know
I’m numb
Out with every devil in the shape of your fathers pride
Face them
Why won’t you face them?
What if you find out the hard way that
I was right
You always take it the hard way
Unraveling
Bathing in the cold light
The pattern repeated
The color decayed
You didn’t deserve this at all
I’m caught in the endless glow
The empty, golden glow
I know
I’m numb
It's just a curse that I cast on my self
I'm done living in the curse
I will lift it myself
What if I never find out?
What if I always take it harder than I should?
What if I can’t lift if?
What if it just sinks me down into the flood?
Unravel me
Bathe me in cold light
When the pattern repeated
The color remained
You didn’t deserve this at all
I’m caught in the endless glow
The empty, golden glow
I know
I’m numb

I know that we feel heavier than ever
Since failure turned our heads to stone
Both of our ghosts are
Lingering wolves at the door
Now, I can’t find you
And of all of my mistakes, this was the worst
I am the wrecking ball that you for wished for
So, would you kindly disappear?
Break apart the light we made and
Steal away the atmosphere until we begin to disappear
Why do we feel angrier than ever?
(This mistake was the worst)
Most of our ghosts are lingering wolves at the door
(Failure turned our love into war)
I am the wrecking ball that you for wished for
So, would you kindly disappear?
(Promise me, I'll help you)
Break apart the light we made and
Steal away the atmosphere until we begin to disappear
Beating on the walls of all the mazes that we built until I began awakening the way you made it feel
I swear I’ll never let you get the best of me again
I swear I’ll never bend
I swear I’ll never break
I am the wrecking ball that you for wished for
So, would you kindly disappear?
Break apart the light we made and
Steal away the atmosphere until we begin to disappear

Bloom

I spent weeks without you
With nothing else to do
Paced the space in my head
Desperate for clues
I know you need better
There’s no way I’ll never be confused
By the words that you slipped inside of the shoes
That you kicked me with until I was bruised
Consumed by you and returned when I began to break
I’ll bloom a withered fool...
While you just sleep it off
(I know you need better)
I'm out there burning hearts
(There’s no way I’ll never regret your exit...)
While you just sleep it off
Why did I fuck it up?
And while you’re away I will collect dust
Consumed by you and returned when I began to break
I’ll bloom a withered fool
(Give me little doses of the poison you contain
Until i become immune to all the venom that you say)
(While you're away I will collect dust)
Give me little doses of the poison you contain
Until I become immune to all the venom that you say
I feel a little off but I feel this all the time when
Paint me as a fraud so that you’ve got someone to hate
And now I’m breaking all the walls of every maze you made me build
I’m done pressing on the bruises because I feel them all the time
I shut you off
But now the silence that you give makes it hard falling apart
Consumed by you and returned when I began to break, I’ll bloom
I'll break and bloom
