this song
shakes my bones
i'll change the words
so you won't know
this song
hurts my ears
i'll let it go
for one more year
i'm stuck
with my head
i can't get it out
of my mouth
the sweat
jumped from my back
as i hear the words
screamed out loud
you used to call back
and tell me where i am

down
04:40
|
|||
|
i can't walk
my feet on fire
stained my sheets
i won't go down
uncomfortable
with moving on
and sleeping on the floor
i won't go down
won't you go down

floors
02:54
|
|||
|
i'm tearing up my floor
i'm just looking for
something to keep me up
cause i can't fall asleep anymore
i'm tearing up your floor
there must be something eating your skin
i can't help but looking into this
cause you won't go to sleep anymore
my minds games
on my body
what these eyes see
or at least what they perceive
when i crack the code
we'll go for drinks

shape fort manr
03:19
|

|
i saw it on the train
i never thought of him like this again
more like hell when i asked of you
if it was something i could use
you make me think
a little too much
you're not real
and neither is your god
shape fort manr i wish
to see your face and lie to you
go on home or stay with me
are you a home dont play with me
you make me think
a little too much
are you real
please don't tell my mom
this song is just an example
i'm anxious and i'm not that careful
with what i say
but you'll find me anyway
shape fort manr let me in
i'm here dying for your sins

so long to my aspirations
hello negative affiliations
i walk to my room so uninspired
but i'm still in that mood
so long to my old pair of jeans
hello to the empty cup at my feet
i left my room so frustrated and tired
i don't wanna die but i can't find the back door
room with
three walls
breathe in
don't fall
|

here's to home
05:43
|
|||
|
a little less effort sounds a little bit better
if you could slow the song down i'd be a little happier
just one more film to keep me going
i need some motivation to keep me alive
just listen to my words
i'm just trying to mend my mind
i don't wanna know what key i'm singing in
or the names of these chords
i wanna slow the song down
or even better find a way out
i wanna find home
here's to home
it's caught on fire
it got a little bit darker
just like i remember
here's to home
it's covered in dust
if you wanna find me
you gotta look a little harder

gold
02:00
|
|||
|
the sky is made of gold
but i'm too scared to reach for it
i'm tired i'm growin old
don't be modest i can handle it
touch my eyes
that's what it's like when nobody's listening
i can't get off my feet
even for a bite to eat
i'll never write a song like that
i'll never have to feel that bad

funeral crown
03:50
|
|||
|
i think i'm deaf
or i lost an eye
you stole my black coat
get back in my car
spent all day up for the phone
i just can't ask you
and i won't tell you
what this song's about
i know
you all see me
am i a ghost
can you hear me
i'm at my funeral
or in my bed
we'll share this crown
am i dead

untitled

|

slept in my own bed
messed with my own head
getting comfy on the floor
slip through your bedroom door
let me inside
i've got nothing to hide
picking my thumb
one more sip of rum
holding my side
i don't wanna die
this song's about cover ups
all of this is made up
it's never red enough
it's never deep enough

oblivious
01:39
|
|||
|
oblivious
my friends are drowning in their own simplicity
my family's teething
my lover's so generous
please be kind to us
be patient just because
your thinking's not vicarious
i don't see the issue
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
the bells sound so strange
the cosmos look weird
like it's all my fault
just as i feared
i wish i could hide
strange little room
hope you can find me
cause i can't find you
the lack of words or breath
|
||||
13. |
kill
01:24
|
|||
|
kill what is right
kill what you love
why do i know it's wrong to stay in
why do i know what it's like to die
|

not ready
02:39
|
|||
|
layin out my papers
tear soaked and tattered
bleak like sundays without you
i wish i had options
like david wrote and hit my soul
i cried on the phone but i didn't let you know
wrote the words on the backs of my arms
the ink never faded so slow
i don't know how to fall out of love
could someone let me know?
been goin to sleep on time
seeing more ghosts prying at my door
i don't know if you know
not ready to let you go
i don't know if you know
not ready to say hello

set in snow
04:29
|
|||
|
teach me to speak in tongues
so i know where you're comin from
and where you want me to go
i know it's hard to act so well
given the time i thank god i can breathe
i don't know how i'm supposed to see in three weeks
for you i'll try, i don't mind
it's set in snow
give me a time and i'll go
