Deep down Down in the hollow, there's a sound Oh so familiar, look around What do you see? What do you see? My body keeps betraying me I set it straight But it just bleeds I may as well accept defeat All my life I've tried so hard Just to end up empty-handed Stranded on my own I'm a heartbreak angel And I'm not ready to let you go No, I won't No, I won't Build you taller than me You're the ghost, I'm the sea This emotional greed Weighs heavy on me My body keeps betraying me I tell it "die" But it just sleeps You are the only thing I need All my life I've tried so hard Just to end up empty-handed Stranded on my own I'm a heartbreak angel And I'm not ready to let you go No, I won't No, I won't

You can break my bones But I won't let you break my heart I'll become a home You're the sun behind the trees Say, won't you please shine A little light on me? Given to the great divide And show me where your secrets hide I wanna be the reason of that look in your eyes Spring is in season, but it's snowing outside So find your own way home And fuck all your TERF friends I'm on my own and that's just how I like it You don't gotta stand so close You're already over the edge You're already over the edge You're already over the edge And I don't regret a single thing I said You're already over the edge You're already over the edge You're already over the edge And I don't regret a single thing I said No, I don't

Make Believe 02:19
It looks so beautiful in the light But there's darkness on the other side I wouldn't wanna be the other guy If you know what I mean Can't keep your eyes off me 'Cause I'm cutting corners playing make believe Can't keep your eyes off me 'Cause I'm cutting corners playing make believe Make believe That I love everything you said to me I wouldn't wanna make an enemy Out of someone I need Can't keep your eyes off me 'Cause I'm cutting corners playing make believe Can't keep your eyes off me 'Cause I'm cutting corners playing make believe Can't keep your eyes off me 'Cause I'm cutting corners playing make believe Can't keep your eyes off me 'Cause I'm cutting corners playing make believe Make believe Make believe Make believe

The Wayward 03:43
And we're both so easy I could roll you up and smoke you out without thinking I went outside myself to get you high I was disappointed by your wayward side *Sigh* If you're gone, say goodbye I never really wanted to stay Just thought I'd kill some time Boy, you're persistent So am I But I'm done, so long Fuck off, you tried And I don't fool easy I could chew you up and spit you out without thinking I blew inside before you wiped your eyes Fill me up with sorrow, whisper when you sigh *Sigh* If you're gone, say goodbye I never really wanted to stay Just thought I'd kill some time Boy, you're persistent So am I But I'm done, so long Fuck off, you tried Ooooooh *Sigh* If you're gone, say goodbye I never really wanted to stay Just thought I'd kill some time Boy, you're persistent So am I But I'm done, so long Fuck off, you tried So long Fuck off You tried

Red 05:34
Lie down Lie down, take you down to the ground, make you shake Hold out Hold out for the ones who make you most afraid You're a fuckin' fight song Make me feel so right, wrong Bet you can't make me scream Bet you're gonna be mean Fill my head with water I'm at the bottom of I'm at the bottom of Fill my head with water I'm at the bottom of I'm at the bottom of the ocean Spit it out Spit it out with your mouthful of lies, don't speak All my doubt Circles round and about red It's the only color I see Were my intentions good enough? I never pretended to fall for love I thought I'd set myself free Fill my head with water I'm at the bottom of I'm at the bottom of Fill my head with water I'm at the bottom of I'm at the bottom of the ocean Underwater Underwater Underwater

Obsession 03:21
When I first met you, I was so young Accepted any love I wanted something different You gave me more than anyone This one is the only love I don't know how to feel When everything it felt so real Imagine a world Where we don't have to blink (We'd never miss a moment) I'd much rather sink I think I've learned my lesson Love wasn't love, was obsession I think I've learned my lesson Love wasn't love, was obsession When I first met you, I was naive You asked "Be patient, please" Said "there's so many sides to me" I gave you all my everything This isn't the love for me Though I'll admit that I was cool There, for a moment, played the fool Imagine a world Where we don't have to blink (We'd never miss a moment) I'd much rather sink I think I've learned my lesson Love wasn't love, was obsession I think I've learned my lesson Love wasn't love, was obsession

Soft 03:41
You're divine Got me paralyzed Open up your cold brown eyes Rattle down my fragile spine You get better after every line But I'm not ready for a love as soft as me If you're the thief, I am the guillotine You stole my soul right out my chest I guess it's best I know what it's like To be alive, to be alive, to be alive You've got all you need Take every part of me Make me shiver, bring me to my knees Make me quiver full of ecstasy You remind me of a scene in my dream But I'm not ready for a love as soft as me If you're the thief, I am the guillotine You stole my soul right out my chest I guess it's best I know what it's like To be alive, to be alive, to be alive I'll be fine Just give it time I'll make you mine But I'm not ready for a love as soft as me If you're the thief, I am the guillotine You stole my soul right out my chest I guess it's best I know what it's like To be alive, to be alive, to be alive

Over Me 03:30
I, I am still out here Looking for love in all the wrong places Pick my heart up off the ground again, it's so heavy Put it back inside my chest, but I can't feel a heartbeat All over again, remind me why we don't speak I can't reach you I can't complete you So I must defeat you Not good enough, not good enough Not good enough for you You make me blue Guess it was all in my head Thought that we had something But you were just playing pretend Not good enough, not good enough Guess it was all in my head Thought that we had something But you were just playing pretend Not good enough, not good enough Guess it was all in my head Thought that we had something But you were just playing pretend Not good enough, not good enough Not good enough And you can't tell me to talk about it if you won't listen You keep your distance from me, boy All alone with your greed, boy Stay away from me Keep your god damn "Oh, please" Get over me, get over me Baby, please Get over me, get over me Baby, please Get over me, get over me Baby, please Get over me, get over me Baby, please Get over me, get over me

Pariah 05:56
What goes up must come down I'm afraid of what you've found I highly doubt They're looking for me now Best advice to you, my friend Careful treading severed ends What once was dead Can live again, I'm Hollow No more room to swallow Come follow Wanna watch me wallow? Must put in, must put out See me seeping from my spout I see you cringe When I start to pout Thought I'd found the antidote Just some existential joke It's not funny Come scoot in close, I'm Hollow No more room to swallow Come follow Wanna watch me wallow? Got me closer than I've ever been I know torture ain't a sedative Push me back and take me down again I can make you break before you even bend Pariah Pariah Pariah Got me closer than I've ever been I know torture ain't a sedative Push me back and take me down again I can make you break before you even bend Pariah Pariah Pariah Pariah

Come Clean 03:15
I don't even know why I can't be forgiven You push and you pull Can't make a decision It's hard to breathe when you're Part of me Smothering all the love that I had Just to come out clean I don't even care I'm not even driven You sit and you stare But I'm not in your line of vision It's hard to see when you're Following Finally, I don't feel quite as sad I used to be so mean My heart's still incomplete Whole truth you never speak No, you would never cheat But you still lie to me Your hands fold on my bones Tear me down nice and slow Don't want to be alone Love you? Baby, I don't know My heart's still incomplete Whole truth you never speak No, you would never cheat But you still lie to me Your hands fold on my bones Tear me down nice and slow Don't want to be alone Love you? Baby, I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know Should I come, should I come Should I come clean? Should I come, should I come Should I come clean? Should I come, should I come Should I come clean? Should I come, should I come Should I come clean?
