The Wait
02:18

I fell in love with the wait
When I had memories to create
Missed out on a perfect scene
Something I wish I could've seen
My bones have turned into stone
And have killed the opportunity
I can't help being alone
Though I need the community
Everyone is marching on
To the beat of the drums
And I'm still here, getting lost
I can’t follow ‘cause I'm dumb
(And I'm still here, getting lost
I can’t follow ‘cause I'm dumb)
My body's crushed by despair
Because I passed up on my share
“Lill, that was two months ago”
But I still want my chance to throw
Everyone is marching on
To the beat of the drums
And I'm still here, getting lost
I can’t follow ‘cause I'm dumb
(Break)
Everyone is marching on
To the beat of the drums
And I'm still here, getting lost
I can’t follow ‘cause I'm dumb

Somebody's Sunset
03:47
|

I think we’ve been here long enough
Someone else may want a turn
Moving on is always tough
But it's better than to burn
Things were fun but now they’re chores
Let’s write the final page
Honestly I was getting bored
Started feeling like a cage
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Let’s wrap this up and go back home
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Now the wind no longer blows
We've exhausted all the melodies
They're sounding pretty rough
All the tricks we had up our sleeves
Are filled with webs and dust
We could come back some other time
But I think for now we should step to the side
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Let’s wrap this up and go back home
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Now the wind no longer blows
We should go home
We should go home
We should go home
We should go home
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Let’s wrap this up and go back home
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Now the wind no longer blows
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Let’s wrap this up and go back home
Somebody’s sunset is waiting to fall
Now the wind no longer blows

My Geometry
03:39
|
|

What happened to the playground?
What happened to the fun?
Just rows of beige and brown
Until the day is done
My eyes, they once were sunny
But now they're both destroyed
Since when did I need money
To feel an inch of joy
My brain can’t hold this weight
I’ll cry shining your shoes
I’m told to sit and wait
But this game, I always lose
My eyelids can’t stay open
I'm sobbing at my screen
I’m told to to keep on checking
But I just want to scream
I have no point in being here
Why should i trade love for a career
I’m not the shape I’m meant to be
I've lost all my geometry
The stars once shined down here
But they've all seemed to crash
The cigar in your mouth makes it clear
Drink their blood till they collapse
Asking for money every weekend
It's gonna drink until there's nothing left
Why can't I stay here sprawled on my bed
Let's hope this all turns out good in the end
Asking for money every weekend
It's gonna drink until there's nothing left
Why can't I stay here sprawled on my bed
Let's hope this all turns out good in the end
I have no point in being here
Why should i trade love for a career
I’m not the shape I’m meant to be
I've lost all my geometry

Paper Tiara
03:38

Chewed down to the bone
Razor burning, flames
Let me walk on my own
Driving me insane
Knotted stomach, sick
Tear my neck out now
Blanket made of bricks
Please let me know how
This crown is temporary
So make the most of it
Rip apart my royalty
My body starts to split
This crown is temporary
So make the most of it
Rip apart my royalty
My body starts to split
It’s so cold in here
Too weak to get through
Shut away the tears
Please let the good be true
This crown is temporary
So make the most of it
Rip apart my royalty
My body starts to split
This crown is temporary
So make the most of it
Rip apart my royalty
My body starts to split
This crown is temporary
So make the most of it
Rip apart my royalty
My body starts to split
This crown is temporary
So make the most of it
Rip apart my royalty
My body starts to split

The Experts Are Here
03:45

|

Throw out your mirrors
We will reflect for you
Regardless how you feel
We already know what’s true
We don’t hear her
We don’t want any blues
Close your eyes and kneel
And praise our royal shoes
We’ll cut your hair
Make it something good
You wont need to talk back
There's no reason why you should
The experts know it all
Who I am, that's up to them
Who am I to question them
They're experts after all
Hear our thoughts out
Now repeat them to yourself
Now they’re stuck up there
And steam has been expelled
You ain’t the only one
You aren’t a special voice
No need to hide away
Just stop the needless noise
The experts know it all
Who I am, that's up to them
Who am I to question them
They're experts after all
Already seen it all
Why would I bother them?
Who am I to question them
They're experts after all
Do I even bother now?
Everything will get shut down
Science says I should just bow
To everyone in town
Do I even bother now? (You’ve proved what we thought)
Everything will get shut down (You say you’re strong but you’re not)
Science says I should just bow (Just admit that you’re wrong)
To everyone in town (You’ve proved what we thought)
The experts know it all
Who I am, that's up to them
Who am I to question them
They're experts after all
Already seen it all
Why would I bother them?
Who am I to question them
They're experts after all

I Know

She's coming back tonight
I am waiting at the door
Like a dog waits for their owner
Every night
The driveway lights are turned on
So she knows that I'm excited
I wonder if she's missed this place
Or not
Her arrival has me charging
At the door so I can hold her
But she heads right for the bedroom
The feeling’s crushing
“I’ve figured out my dreams” She said
“no reason for me to stay here”
And now i'm falling
i'm falling down
“People grow, my dear
Like trees in the spring
It's nothing you should fear
I'll still hear you sing”
I swallow and I say
“I'm sorry, I know that things must change”
Will I come back to earth
Now my gravity is leaving
If it was this easy to go
Was there much worth
“Will you still hold onto me?”
Slowly escapes from my lips
She pulls me in and tells me
How things will be
“People grow, my dear
Like trees in the spring
It's nothing you should fear
I'll still hear you sing”
I swallow and I say
“I'm sorry, I know that things must change”
“People grow, my dear
Like trees in the spring
It's nothing you should fear
I'll still hear you sing”
I swallow and I say
“I'm sorry, I know that things must change”

Peach Skies

Peach coloured sky
Make me feel alright
Make me feel just fine
Peach coloured sky
Make me feel alright
Make me feel alright
I never wanna die
I just want a different world
Like the one I dreamed
When i was a little girl
Tails intertwined
Just let it all unfurl
I will be safer there
In a pretty little world
Peach coloured sky
Make me feel alright
Make me feel just fine
Peach coloured sky
Make me feel alright
Make me feel alright
Take me home with you
Away from these vicious claws
They grow from my brain
And attack me without a cause
Anxiety ensues
‘Cause joy’s against the law
Can you bring me inside
I'm on my final straw
Peach coloured sky
Make me feel alright
Make me feel just fine
Peach coloured sky
Make me feel alright
Make me feel alright
I never wanna die
I just want a different world
Like the one I dreamed
When i was a little girl

Be There Soon

I think it would be sweet
To spend some time with you again
I’ll just have to find a seat
And kick it when I’m ready to go
Two silent years have passed
I think it’s time I come on by
Then together we’ll be cast
In numbers meant to torture us
I’ll chase after you
Anything for that smile
Maybe I’ll be held again
If I go the same way
I hope they understand
That I did this ‘cause i need my friends
They may miss my hands
But I missed yours so goddamn much
Would it be okay
To show you what I’ve made since then
I thank you everyday
For driving me this far in life
I’ll chase after you
Anything for that smile
Maybe I’ll be held again
If I go the same way
I’ll catch up to you
Maybe I will smile
Maybe I’ll be held again
If I go the same way
I thought it would be sweet
To spend some time with you again
But now it's hitting me
That I've hurt everyone I love so much
I’ll chase after you
Anything for that smile
Maybe I’ll be held again
If I go the same way
I’ll catch up to you
Maybe I will smile
Maybe I’ll be held again
If I go the same way

Sweet in the moment
Lime tasting later
It’s an ornament
No fruits of labor
Keep on doing it
Though I will feel bad
Times that I’ve been bit
For small parts of glad
Will I be this way forever?
Will I get it all together?
With the ones I really love
Need to keep myself above
Thinking makes me sick
Scared someone will cry
Blood starts to grow thick
Feed into my lie
I keep on pulling this
Piling up all of this shit
I'm trying to break the kiss
But I'm pulled in by the lips
I keep on pulling this
Piling up all of this shit
I'm trying to break the kiss
But I'm pulled in by the lips
Will I be this way forever?
Will I get it all together?
With the ones I really love
Need to keep myself above

Simply Anything

I don’t like the colours now
Everything is so washed out
I’ve walked this street a thousand times
When will I hear that brand new sound
It could be anything
Just anything
Leave space for the prey
Chew right through my day
Give me some more time
Before I step back in line
Could be a minute
Just a minute
Where is my joy?
It was there but now it’s gone
All these broken toys
Used to make me so happy
I look at all these old pictures
When people kept their lights on
The ocean never seems to end
I hear nothing, not a cough
Please say anything
Really anything
Where is my joy?
It was there but now it’s gone
All these broken toys
Used to make me so happy
Where is my joy?
It was there but now it’s gone
Why am I annoyed
Why am I annoyed
Where is my joy?
It was there but now it’s gone
All these broken toys
Used to make me so happy
I don’t like the colours now
Everything is so washed out
I’ve walked this street a thousand times
When will I hear that brand new sound
It could be anything
Just anything
