the sun sets
fading your chest
beating darkly to your thoughts
and the voices
in your head
speak softly to your heart

The Beginning
03:19
|

you never imagined you'd be here
walking away with all of your fears
the future doesn't scare me
what scares me is how life seems to slip by
and I can't help but think that
we're limited by time
and so I paint the picture
so I sing the song
so I touch the space in time that shapes what I'll become

Sunburn

I've danced in the dark
I've felt the creeping night
What lingers in my heart
is the silent coming light
I've touched the lost and hurt
I've held their hands in mine
what matters not is lost
and what's lost is not our light
tell my skin it must come home
tell my lungs to get some soul
tell the sun that it is whole
tell the night to take control
and you told me I'd never be the same
watching you feel me with your eyes
and you told me I'd never sing the same
after singing with you one night
and the way that you kissed me
and the way that you told me goodbye
if you think you can get away
get away with this for one night
tell my skin it must come home
tell my lungs to get some soul
tell the sun that it is whole
tell the night to take control
tell the stars they are my friends
connecting nerves within my head
tell me I must not pretend
because the night is not the end

Simplicity

I've never been so ready
to let go, to let go
of every little thing
of everything
my eyes have changed shades of emerald
and my tongue has twisted upside down
and my face has folded in the strangest places
and my ears attuned to a different sound
my throat is sweeter
my hands are stronger
my heart is bigger
my embrace is tighter
and my feet are quicker
and my mind is ready
to let go tonight
[repeat]
my point here is i'm
growing old
thank you for your time
but i'm simply tired
and i'm growing old
and i'm simply tired
and i'm simply old

Siren

your beautiful veins draw constellations
underneath your skin
I feel them every time you breathe in
my arms wrapped around your lungs,
the temptation
of suffocating you with sin
I want you to breathe in
asphyxiation
take a drink of this
taste the hint of rose
feel the warmth of my skin
pull me in too close
just breathe in the smoke
let it fill your lungs
feel the swinging notes
dance along your tongue
tempt me with your twisting tongue
draw me in close with your smirk
use my heart while it's still young
and love me till it hurts
[repeat]
this darkness suits me well
this secret all too fond of me
my blood rises and swells
to the rhythm of the sea
let the bass consume
all that you have been
let its heart kill you
graze along your skin
feel the bite of teeth
taste the hint of blood
all that you have been
is all Ive become
tempt me with your twisting tongue
draw me in close with your smirk
use my heart while it's still young
and love me till it hurts

Sweet Goodbyes
04:55
|
|||
I took away your heartbeat
you took away my eyes
I stole your only love song
you stole my only disguise
I hated every second
your dead skin kissed the ground
I tried to kiss your sparkling lips
but only ashes were to be found
and I was set on fire
the night your
hands came back to life
my hunger satisfied
the morning set into our sheets
the yellows and reds bleed
into our sweet goodbyes
I set foot in tomorrow
you stepped back yesterday
I held on to every word
hoping that you might stay
time was a hyperbole
we had no time to spend
our clocks decaying reluctantly
young life growing thin
and I was set on fire
the night your
hands came back to life
my hunger satisfied
the morning set into our sheets
the yellows and reds bleed
into our sweet goodbyes

The Morning
02:26
|
|||
morning comes
through the blinds
I'm not out of my mind
thoughts that peek
through my eyes
dreams of living my life sublime
take me in
hear me out
you are one thing i can't live without
you are mine
you are mine
you are mine
you are mine
