Across the Planets
04:55

nothing like the way i planned it
every planet is lost in time
hard to pin the moment i landed
on this stranded planet of mine
there’s a world in which i’m trying
always trying to make it all fit
she is good but she is crying
always lying
it’ll never all fit
i’ve had this dream before
each time a little more
little more loose around the edges
making friends with the aliens
never searching for the ending
never-ending starting again
i feel it in my head
close my eyes and tell me when
people come and go like shadows
and like shadows, they follow me
follow me close across the planets
couldn’t have planned it
but they follow me
i feel them in my head
will they be here till the end?

Spring in my Step
04:00

rip a page out from my brain
save me from trying to explain
i gave you a warning, but you didn’t care like i thought you would
i don’t want it to be over, like i should
yet i walk with a spring
you talk until my eyelids fall
without really saying anything at all
i keep a list of the things you say that don’t make sense
and i analyze them to no end
yet i walk with a spring in my step to put you at ease
follow me closely, but never be easy to find
follow me closely, and make me feel out of my mind
there is a headache planted in my eyes
is it bad that the romance makes the pain subside?
my brain’s a machine as soon as it takes the opposing side
takes a fleeting observation, writes a whole franchise
yet i’ll walk with a spring in my step if it puts you at ease
follow me closely, but never be easy to find
follow me closely, and make me feel out of my mind
push me away, write it down with invisible ink
push me away, let it wash itself clean in a blink

Hungover
03:32
|
|||
|
i’ll try to sleep it off again
close my eyes and tell me when
let it sink into the bed
all of it
all of it
make believe like we were kids
nothing more no nothing less
let it sink into the bed
all of it
all of it falls
away
erase the words i said before
all the tears and all the war
kill the agent keeping score
all of it
all of it
teach me how to breathe again
calm the beating in my head
remind me how to be a friend
all again
before it all falls
away
if angels are a part of it
the heart of it is lost
they’ll say “you started it”
i started it
don’t want it hanging over him
the way its hanging over me
take all of it
take all of it
away

it’s a game what a shame who’s to blame
you found me at the wrong time
but hey we can play who’s to say
there will ever be a right time
fun to play along sing the song before it’s gone
i’ll play the game who can blame me
you found me at the wrong time
i can try to deny that i like how
i got you down on your knees
don’t you cry maybe i will surprise you
and honey you’ll say yes please
love to see you smile i’ll stay a while until i’m tired
don’t get addicted i warned you
you found me at the wrong time
oh my god
can’t go on
i think i’m dying
its a shame still i hate such a quick shift
from hello to goodbye
sorry for wasting your time love

Dream Song
04:20
|
|||
|
lying awake lying awake
why are my dreams always so boring?
flying away being chased
give me any kind of story
if i sleep through the night
leave me with the words to write it all down
give me something new to talk about
to think about
i’ll write it all down
i’ll write it all
guess the angel lost her way
through the rubble and the light pollution
won’t you send the devil anyway
guess he got a little bored
any devil would know better than to entertain the nonsense in my head
trade my room for a circus show
a forest full of fairies
magic tricks and magic plants
give me something that could scare me
trade the tears for a time machine
go back and do it over again
nothing beats getting younger
let me act like i’m a kid again
guess the angel left her mark
got me missing all the hidden spaces
i have never been and never will
guess the devil won me over
rather navigate the underworld
than lay alone and think about myself

Without Me Without Me
05:46
|

redness in my eyes and your skin
your head is somewhere without me
birds fill the silence around me
bugs flood the floorboards below me
dust on the ceiling
loose conversation down the hall
your head is somewhere
without me
without me
without me
without you without me
something about you is haunted
something about you’s addictive
take me wherever you’re going
when your head is somewhere
without me
without me
without me
without you without me
you are something of nothing but the air on my skin
how long before you walk straight through my bones?
i am nothing if not something of you
oh if not afraid of losing you to the wind
i know
without you without me
without me
without me
without me
without you without me
without me
without me
without me
without you without me

Lungs
04:32
|

i try to be patient
it’s like pulling teeth
maybe you’ll come crying
if i count to three
swore i had it in me
had it in me to breathe it all out
when it got this bad
nothing i can’t handle
its like a b c
its part of the brand
its in the o c d
if i had it in me
had it in me to scream at the the top of my lungs
i’d do it every time
i get a little nauseous
little dizzy
little out of my mind
i get little stupid
little lazy
and a little blind
i get a little stupid all the time
but even more when ur around
there’s nothing cute about being vague
you trying to kill me or make me insane?
would it hurt ur feelings
hurt you if i screamed at the top of my lungs
bc i’d do it every time
i get a little nauseous
little dizzy
little out of my mind
i get little stupid
little lazy
and a little blind
i get a little too patient
little too anxious
little too out of focus
i get a little stupid all the time
but even more when ur around
something cute
there’s something cute about being so fucking aloof
it’s so peculiar how you make it
so easy to scream easy to scream you know i never will
i get a little too patient
little too anxious
little too out of focus
i get a little stupid all the time
but even more when ur around

Stranger
05:11
|

could’ve sworn i knew your face like my own
in the light and in the dark and in a crowded room
could’ve sworn i was starting to figure you out
but right now you’re just a stranger to me
stranger to me
on a bench i never wanna see again
must’ve had this conversation before in a dream
every little thing you say and do digs away at my head
so embarrassing how much you have a hold on me
so goddamn emotional
over-analytical
asking for way too much of you
so goddamn obsessive
and way too invested
no i’ll never be enough for you
on a couch that played witness to it all
from the caution to the honeymoon to the saddest days of all
on a couch where you convinced me that you hate me
what a twisted way to realize that i love you
i don’t want to
so goddamn emotional
over-analytical
asking for way too much of you
so goddamn obsessive
and way too invested
no i’ll never be enough for you
can’t believe there was a time when you were here
can’t believe you were anything more than a dream
bc you’re a stranger to me
stranger to me

I Won't Sleep Soundly
03:33
|
|||
|
i know that i will never feel what you’re feeling
i know that i will never understand the pain
i hate that i have taken so long just to listen
i hate that i am just beginning to open up
i won’t sleep soundly
until you’re set free
this is a world that never seems to get it right
this is a world that moves a beat behind the clocks
we are a world that’s ready for the changes
we are a world that’s dying for the changes
we are the world that won’t be waiting anymore
i won’t sleep soundly
until you’re set free
we are the world
we’re ready for the changes
we are the world
we won’t be waiting anymore
we are the world
we’re ready for the changes
we are the world
we won’t be waiting for nothing anymore
i won’t sleep soundly
until you’re set free

Shadow Parade
03:01
|
|||
|
it comes and it goes
like shadows in sun
following close
as the day’s just begun
hard not to laugh at it all
how i feel like a kid when it falls
like a little kid
it comes and it goes
but ages like wine
with every day
starts to feel more like mine
leading the shadow parade
don’t wanna let them all fade
let it stay a part of me
the angels they watch
with love in their eyes
the aliens too
from afar they still rise
to the front of the parade
promise me that you’ll stay
stay a part of me
