Truer words never danced on my screen
this could be the call I've been waiting for
when I walked away from waking up
I have climbed so high
I can reach the stars
and I reach out for these fractals of us
who un-weaves me from this broken dream
can't you see that I am hurting
they say were all one in this broken dream
but I cant see past these eyes
as these stars fade
as this ice melts
seasons cycle
I will be known
I know in some other dream
where I am still queen
I let you climb on my cloud
and I wrap my arms around you
surrounded by starlight
I lay my crown down
I have come to sweep up this broken spell
I witness my fiction

Mirror

Looking through a screen
I remind myself
dreams are always fleeting
It's hard to walk away
trapped inside a mirror
here we go again
It's why I act this way
its why I'm barely there
when were in separate places
you’re the piece that’s missing
nothings permanent
It just feels so perfect
please don’t keep me waiting
I'll find the darkest places
It's not that I'm jealous
I get to opened minded

After Parties

Turn to gold
stand in the snow
we meet here at these crossroads
nowhere to go
looking for love
It's okay to say you want to give up
I ride the sea of my mind
then I pray to light It's filling you
parade of life where do you go
why I'm selfish then scared
It's unimpressive
burning light I want to know
why do you hide
I'll never receive you
no feedback for doing you wrong
I find comfort then I rest in the shadows
and you get ahead and activate
what’s lost in sky returns to me
eternally in time we'll see
whenever it works out
well leave it again
and I forgot to mention
I'm made of wires I'm disconnected
falling apart
if the sun rises well paint it
the perfect picture
three mile radius tv screens
in the morning
acid rain
memory erase her
wash away the pain
all these nights in the basement
I'm still waiting on and on
nights falling
mornings coming
but it doesn’t apply to me

So What?

So what
Is this complete
your love for me
I cant compete
sail away allows you to pretend
you’re a little late to be my medicine
I can feel your eyes roll with every basic word I say
I look for love in the space between the carpet and the bed
and I know I'm easily discouraged
but I will come back and follow you with courage
so all that’s left is some magic
so what if it still feels like a movie
lets just keep rolling maybe well be proven
repeat after me
the bands not breaking up
could you look me in the eyes and tell me if you’re done
go ahead lets just talk about it
I think I need a vacation promise
the bands not breaking up
so what’s left is some magic
here free finders fee
so I got emotions on replay
I've been off em for three days
why I guess I cant say
but I guess now it's too late
In the clouds over now
back on the highway
why were we here in the first place
where I want to be
repeat after me
the bands not breaking up
so what’s left is some magic
It's the ghost in me
It's what I hope you were wanting

I cant be myself with you around
you’re the only one I'm thinking about
I wish I could go looking around
but I turn everything upside down
sometimes I sink but I won’t drown
I'm stuck this way and that’s without a doubt
please don’t ask me what I'm talking about
cause I feel like a queen without a crown
I cant be myself with you around
you’re the only one I'm thinking about
I wish I could go looking around
but I turn everything upside down
sometimes I sink but I won’t drown
I'm stuck this way and that’s without a doubt
please don’t ask me what I'm talking about
cause I belong in lost and found
I'm just a heart-breaker
not an entertainer
I can't be your savior
you cant save her or erase her
think I need a space invader
accelerator
not a faker
I'm stuck on the escalator
watch out for the razors edge
I might be up next
didn’t get your text
cant find my phone but you still call it
think I lost it
is this who I'm supposed to be
guess It's hard to notice me
you’re free to disagree
please have some empathy
It's just like me to intervene
hope it meant something
don’t envy me I warned you please
I'm still worried still worried
worrying I'm worrying
scurry off into the trees
into your dreams
I'm nobody
struggling socially
but yesterday was history
I'm guilty are you over me
wish I had time for enemies
who you wanna be is okay with me
but we won’t make it
there’s no guarantee
I'm still on your team
hope you keep that energy
but you’re deceiving
superstars with no guitars
seeing sparks and shooting stars
lucky charms and talking cars
I hide my scars like its my job
you set off my alarm
what’s it like to be a creature
perfect features
so it seems it's too late
you and me
and you and me
I want to believe in everything
but its so deceiving
I’ll never leave
never leave
I'm never leaving

You still want to know more
despite all of the things I said
I still don’t think you’d leave me in the end
well you left me with my own intentions
what did you expect
for me to leave it all alone
I know you

One Thing
01:26

|
Fact is fiction
keep believing
so divided
truth is vital
what’s the meaning
you remind me
you remind me
of this one thing
downward spiral
reunited
seeing sirens
fear of flying
ultraviolet
endless cycle
It's my weakness
stay forever
be the reason
in spite of what they’re saying
roll the dices
keep believing
please don’t suffer in silence

Sun

The sun
thought it was enough to get me through to you
you’re the kind of one I know its true
both are finding and I know its easier
to lose it all than it is to climb again
got a lifetime and I will protect her
was there any need for creating all I've done
I was hidden in a math equation
where does this cycle end and where do you begin
wanna bless you but it would sew a new you
there’s enough trust just to give me another try
projecting our lines into empty courtrooms
everyone just wants to see you on your way out
no body how do i protect you
heart affiliated it aims to lift again
name your truth and I will perfect you
another night and everybody wants to win
everyone deserves to be a star too
drifting our lives into planets made new
to be gold and believe in magic
I will show you how to
the sun turns us
