[VERSE]:
oh, take me back to the day
when i first saw you in such an empty frame
i don't think i'll ever be the same as i once was
you've figured me out
[P-C]:
all i see are your eyes, your face, a sweet embrace
you've taken up the space in my mind
[CHORUS]:
you make me feel things too much
i feel like i'm at home
all of the words, and the hurt
i could easily let this fall apart
but i don't wanna see you go
take me with you and i'll be yours

Fiction / Reality

INTRO]:
fiction or reality, which one should we be
dont think that im that naive to see
the fiction or reality of things youve done to me
now all this stupid shit is on repeat
[VERSE 1]:
all the stars are out tonight
you dont even stop to see how bright they are
why’re you so far now
i see your back when you walk away
dont even get the time of day
to say hello
where did we go?
think im better off alone
ill just rot here in the cold
so cowardly
youre killing me, so
[CHORUS 1]:
please, dont forget me by my name
even if its all the same
your words will remain when you said,
when you said i was your new addiction
i dont know reality or fiction, oh
[BREAK]:
we’re losing sleep, both you and i
even in dreams, im paralyzed
maybe its fate or just dumb luck,
i should be good
oh
wait
(fuck)
[VERSE 2]:
autumn comes when youre down n out
got no one to hear your shouts
except for me
like therapy
tired of this sleepy town
make it big or else you’ll drown
you worry me
but take me please, oh
[CHORUS 2]:
please, dont forget me by my name
even if its all the same
your words will remain when you said,
when you said i was the first to listen
i dont know reality or fiction, oh
fiction or reality
how do you see me?
[CHORUS 3]:
please, dont forget me by my name
even if its all a game
your words will remain when you said,
when you said that i was your ambition
i dont know reality or fiction, oh

[VERSE 1]:
another day goes by, ive always stopped to wonder why you didnt finish what you started
would you change a thing?
oh how you beckon me then turn the other cheek, right now i just just wonder what, i just just wonder what
what will tomorrow bring?
[PRE CHORUS 1]:
wont you stay one more beat?
stay right in front of me
if im alone, there’s no telling what will become of me
pretend you never left,
eventually forget
to breathe
[CHORUS]:
oh its too much, i think im going under
losing your touch hurts more than anything that ive known
you sing to me and i dont know better
you make it hard to breathe
its so damn hard to breathe
oh its so hard
[VERSE 2]:
another year goes by, ive always stopped to wonder why you didnt finish what you started
should i change something?
[PRE CHORUS 2]:
im tired of what i deserve
before i breathe my final word,
i just just wonder what, i just just wonder what
what will you think? what will you fear?
what will you see? what will you hear?
when youre alone and im still here
why am i still here?
[CHORUS]:
oh its too much, i think im going under
losing your touch hurts more than anything that ive known
you sing to me and i dont know better
you make it hard to breathe
[INTERLUDE]:
can i let you go?
find your way back home from me
and in time, ill just give it one last try
dont want to give in yet, finish it from start, one more time
mou ikkai, mou ikkai, mou ikkai

Heart at Bay
04:24
|
|
||
|
[VERSE 1]:
affections spoken so sweetly
on my mind, all the time
hypnotized by you completely
my thoughts are hard to find
in waves, ive crashed down to the sea
all judgement left behind
im reckless and daft as can be
so give me some small sign
[PRE-CHORUS]:
oh, seasons change, i rearrange all that i feel when
the stars aligned just cant define what is real and
even though i have to go, i don’t want to be alone
[CHORUS]:
so leave behind your selfish lies and make it up to me
baby, i feel like i’m stranded and my heart’s been lost at sea
take me to the shore, can’t take it anymore
but in the moment, im right here
surrounded by everything i hold dear
don’t want no stress, let’s run away
for now, i’ll keep my heart at bay
[VERSE 2]:
you rise when the dying moon falls
my eyes cant keep off you
you taught me that love can cure all
so why am i still blue
[PRE-CHORUS]:
oh, seasons change, i rearrange all that i feel when
the stars aligned just cant define what is real and
even though i have to go, i don’t want to be alone
[CHORUS]:
so leave behind your selfish lies and make it up to me
baby, i feel like i’m stranded and my heart’s been lost at sea
take me to the shore, can’t take it anymore
but in the moment, im right here
surrounded by everything i hold dear
don’t want no stress, let’s run away
for now, i’ll keep my heart at bay

Not Good at Goodbyes
04:54
|
|
||
|
[VERSE 1]:
everyday feels so bittersweet,
holding on to something you left behind
i still feel it when our eyes meet
tell me, do you feel it too, or am i not right?
[CHORUS]:
i dont think i ever stopped loving you
no matter how far apart we grew
didnt know what to do
until i realized that i never got to say goodbye
so let me try
[VERSE 2]:
and every night i wonder
“do i cross your mind?”
already knowing the answer:
‘not all the time’
oh how these feelings just got worse
and you know that im sinking deep
with this heavy heart that i must keep
[PRE-CHORUS 1]:
oh, i was never good at goodbyes
and id be telling a lie
if i had told you i forgot about what could have been
and its already way too late for me to say to you
“dont you know that youre my one regret?”
forget we ever parted
go back to where we started
just say the word and ill run to you
[CHORUS]:
i dont think i ever stopped loving you
no matter how far apart we grew
didnt know what to do
until i realized that i never got to say goodbye
so let me try
[BRIDGE]:
oh hold me, my only
on your loneliest nights
whispering “dont leave”
kiss me just one last time
[CHORUS]:
i dont think i ever stopped loving you
no matter how far apart we grew
i dont know what else to do
but say goodbye to you
[PRE-CHORUS 2]:
oh, i was never good at goodbyes
and id be telling a lie
if i had told you i forgot about what could have been
and its already way too late for me to say to you
“dont you know that youre my one regret?”
forget we ever parted
go back to where we started
this tempest heart of mine feels true
ill gladly run to you
ill run to you
over and over again

Relapse
05:35
|
|
||
|
[VERSE 1]:
breathe it in, its a new scene
begin again, pretend, even though you’re like me in the end
and in time, maybe i’d be someone good, like i should
so catch me when i fall
begin again
empty words that we both keep
“begin again”, you said as i watched you stumble from the bed
in this cycle we both repeat, it’s hard to break from habit so i
[P-C1]:
watch the world fade out,
reinvent myself,
see the world anew
make this work, or else i’ll fall through
[CHORUS]:
burn this bridge you’ve built so i won’t have to walk this path again
turn back into someone i once knew
and begin again
[VERSE 2]:
i wanna rest, but i can’t sleep
begin again, resent my own thoughts half past three
under the rose, you can hide from your relapse
or better, wear a disguise, no turning back
sink into your own demise
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]:
oh, heavy eyes
losing the sight of the view
try not to cry
i don’t know why, but i do
stuck in rewind
time after time, can’t undo
feelings confined
that i’ve resigned, torn in two
[OVERLAP]:
repeat the cycle again from your relapse
become another old friend, no turning back
no problem making amends, you’re used to that
on and on, it follows
under the rose, you can hide from your relapse
or better, wear a disguise no turning back
sink into your own demise
[CHORUS]

Hypnotist
05:00
|
|
||
|
[VERSE 1]:
why dont you think before you speak?
how quickly you kill the mystique
if only there was a way to change that look in your eyes
let me put you in a deep sleep
open your mind, focus on me
you are my own to hypnotize
[PRE-CHORUS]:
with the snap of my fingers, ill count to three
and then in an instant youll say something about me
no matter how hard you try, you cant conceal how you feel
is it really real?
[CHORUS]:
saying you love me
this didnt turn out the way it needed to be
i failed to foresee that youve already
been hypnotized by me
[VERSE 2]:
ill snap again and youll forget
but i dont wanna do that yet
im not sure if thatd be wrong or right but theres something about you
deep down i think im scared to say
that i feel the exact same way
maybe its best i pretend that this just never happened
[PRE-CHORUS]:
with the snap of my fingers, ill count to three
and then in an instant youll say something else about me
no matter how hard you try, you cant conceal how you feel
is it really real?
[CHORUS]:
saying you love me
this didnt turn out the way it needed to be
i failed to foresee that youve already
been hypnotized by me
[BRIDGE]:
forget that i left you spellbound
forget this moment, drowned in sound
once i put you out of this trance
ill leave behind that dying chance
[PRE-CHORUS]:
with the snap of my fingers, ill count to three
and then in an instant youll forget all about me
no matter how hard it is, ill just conceal how i feel
is it really real?
[CHORUS]:
how can you still love me?
this didnt turn out the way it needed to be
i failed to foresee that youve already
been hypnotized by me

White Noise
04:17
|
|
||
|
[VERSE 1]:
one more lie
dont even try to hide the truth
a nervous wreck
keeping in check your stupid ruse
[PRE CHORUS 1]:
you ignore me and instead you raise your voice
a false dilemma, you dont give me any choice
no matter what i say, my words are just white noise
you think its all wrong
[CHORUS]:
youve made my life feel like hell
cant even speak for myself
its makin me sleep with the lights on at night from
the wrathful threats by your hands
dont think that youll understand all your wrongs
but when you do, ill be long gone
[VERSE 2]:
im going mad from everything, all of your lies, all your shit
i wont have none of it
you know youre guilty from what youve done and its plain to see
and now youll pay for all of your accusations against me
i wouldnt be so sure of escape youre looking for
oh when that gavel drops, say your goodbyes
[PRE CHORUS 2]:
dont ignore me and speak in your broken voice
a false dilemma, you dont give me any choice
no matter what you say, your words are just white noise
oh this is all wrong
[CHORUS]:
youve made my life feel like hell
cant even speak for myself
its makin me sleep with the lights on at night from
the wrathful threats by your hands
dont think that youll understand all your wrongs
but when you do, im gone

Evil Eye
04:46
|
|
||
|
[INTRO]:
id hate to see you go
without admitting you lived a lie
deceive everyone you know
with no reason as to why
oh, theres nothing i can do
nothing to make you care at all
so i just stare
[VERSE]:
youve been quiet lately
havent said a word
hows it feel to be the
one that hurts?
shouldve seen it coming
now its only right for you to know what hell you put me through
[PRE CHORUS]:
the evil eye hangs above your head,
somebody wants you dead
[CHORUS]:
i cant imagine why someone like you would push the limits of my energy
is it a cry
out for help only when you most need it? oh, dont you see it?
oh, your bloodshot, weary eyes
are enough to keep me satisfied
until then, dont expect a reply
for when you ask if i gave you that evil eye

|
[VERSE 1]:
if things were different, we were meant to be
youre not like the others, how could you do this to me
he’s got a beautiful mind, so profound
at a loss for words, im done for now
[PRE-CHORUS 1]:
dont get too close, darlin i might just bite
but if you do, then i wont sleep tonight
[CHORUS]:
i cant do this again (im in awe)
and my heart races again (stop it all)
and i know this pain wont end if i keep it up (dont stop dont stop dont stop)
i cant help myself and yet (im in love)
i dream of you again (im in love)
oh its driving me insane, this unrequited love (dont stop dont stop dont stop)
its fun for now but honestly, youll be the death of me
[VERSE 2]:
the room gets darker when youre not around
its hard to focus, and i cant hear a sound
but when youre near me, side by side
i become anew, nothing to hide
[PRE-CHORUS 2]:
youre way too close, dont be my appetite
no matter what, i wont get sleep tonight
[CHORUS]:
i cant do this again (im in awe)
and my heart races again (stop it all)
and i know this pain wont end if i keep it up (dont stop dont stop dont stop)
i cant help myself and yet (im in love)
i dream of you again (im in love)
oh its driving me insane, this unrequited love (dont stop dont stop dont stop)
its fun for now but honestly, youll be the death of me
[BRIDGE x2]:
type a, shrinking violet
thick-skinned, can’t stay silent
dont know what i want it to be
cold hands with a warm heart
flushed cheeks, a work of art
we just have to wait and see
see
[CHORUS]:
i still have a heart to mend
even if it beats again
oh we know this pain wont end if we keep it up
i cant help myself and yet
i dream of you again
oh youre driving me insane, my unrequited love
i cant do this again (im in awe)
and my heart races again (stop it all)
and i know this pain wont end if i keep it up (dont stop dont stop dont stop)
i cant help myself and yet (im in love)
i dream of you again (im in love)
oh its driving me insane, this unrequited love (dont stop dont stop dont stop)
its fun for now but honestly, youll be the death of me

Reverie
06:51
|
|
||
|
in my state of mind, i'll cherish what we had
don't take my time, it's all that I have left
could it be what you're asking for was just never found?
a simple beat to break out your feet
our marigold hearts light up without fear
i'm pushing waves and jumpin' sounds to your ears
so let them hear
i'm flying tonight away from all this mess
don't take in the stress of mistakes made in the past
but you see, there's no need
to bring back every thought that i had
wonderin' what's ahead for me, oh no
now i'm startin to drag myself back down to the ground
start it over again
a simple beat to break out your feet
our marigold hearts light up without fear
i'm pushing waves and jumpin' sounds to your ears
please let them hear
i'm tired of holding onto you
your caring makes me think that you
don't wanna care about yourself
just only want others to be up while your down
so maybe turn it around
i'm sorry but you can be such a mess
you treat yourself like a pest
why do you think of yourself like this?
i wanna know so bad
why do you think of yourself like this?
and on and on and on around we go (x3)
a message made to sound kinda sweet
our melody cannot stand in defeat
i'm pushin' vibes I hope you feel in your sleep
don't let them see (x2)
just let them sing
