Villain

we were both so young
a thousand faces framed and hung on hooks
but as the memories fade
I look back and see
it was all just pin pricks me
so now I'm staring at the sun
in search of everything I thought I loved
but all I see is myself become the villain
so I think it's time I let the skeletons hit the floor
because the life of doing whatever you want
will come back to haunt you
because the life of crime is exactly that
a ghost just biding its time
and so am I

Bones
03:59

I have a tendency to ruin everything
to chock it all up as a loss when I can't breathe
but I'm working on a way
to patch it all together
and start anew with outstretched wings
but for that I'll need a chance
but for that I'll need something sturdy to lean on
because lately I can't do it on my own
although I'll never cease to try
so I'll have you
if you'll have me too
even if it brings us down
and if you're anything like me
you'd risk your bones for an escape

Stung
04:28

there are etchings in my arms
of names I can't remember of locations I can't place
they're all just colors left to bleed and on onto the floor
I tried to drink it up but couldn't stomach what's jagged in my throat
of all the scars that have been bore into me
it'll be yours I remember forever
because I can't live without you under my skin
I don't remember much but I remember how much you stung
and you promised me a slight pinch
just so you could tear me limb from limb
there are carvings in stone
of flames stomped out and left to smolder
never meant to be remembered
I tried to bury the remains
but ended up sinking into the filth

Dig
03:29
|
|
||
I washed up a corpse
on a beach waiting for lightning
to bring me back to life
but the storm it never came
instead it was you who pulled me back from shore
you hit me like a rush of blood to the head
and I'm dizzy at the thought of
seeing how deep your eyes dig into mine
so dig
keep digging
dig deeper into me
when I'm with you I never want to blink
like staring into the sun I love the sting
never want to lose sight of you
and the way you see right though
so don't lose sight of seeing right through me

Discarded
04:13
|
|
||
I've been dreaming about being without you
but the real nightmare is being back with you again
I tried to reconcile the good and the bad
and ended up lost somewhere in the ether
casting a shadow you couldn't shake
if I had the words for how I feel but I'm without
like I'm without the air in my lungs
haven't been able to breathe since I left
and every time I chase your ghost I'll be lost forever
it will always get weirder
you'll always be the wanderer
it will always get worse
you're just a sore spot that I left to heal
we will always be a painful memory
that we discarded in the street

Separate Rides Home
03:17
|
|
||
I woke up on the hardwood I've been pining over
and couldn't feel my fingertips
I felt you like a phantom limb
but knew it was just a memory I let slip and fade away
we cashed it in one garage receipt at a time
while we waited for our separate rides home
I rode off not into a sunset
but into a day breaking over the horizon
that shattered in pieces on the floor
and if the day is darkest before the dawn
then maybe we'll snap back and catch the morning after
