i hear your footsteps behind my door and i know that this means more than before i see the scars above your skin and i can see just what it takes to breathe in well i know this isn’t about me but i still feel lost between what i can’t see i know your pain makes sense to you but it hurts for me to know there’s nothing i can do but it hurts it hurts to watch you burn away every minute of the day you’re counting the seconds you’re counting the calories counting the steps between you and me before you’re stripped away all by yourself you don’t need anyone else to reignite the fire you're gonna start the fire you’re puppet in your own show an actress directing what she doesn’t know tripping along, slipping along repressed memories dancing away, trying to shake off the nothing you eat every minute of the day you’re counting the seconds you’re counting the calories counting the steps between you and me before you’re stripped away all by yourself you don’t need anyone else to reignite the fire you're gonna start the fire and i’ll try to find the corner of your mind i’ll keep trying to find if there’s anything left behind so i can turn off the light put out the fire in your eyes before you start the fire you’re gonna start the fire i can’t stop the fire

you bring me back to the old days of restless nights you bring me towards the future where i can’t see the light and when i stop to ask if it's really over i see your lips next to mine telling me that you love her well its the first day of spring but my bones are crumbling and i don’t know how to sleep anymore so i’ll lie next to you lie next to you how do you spell nostalgia for what’s to come dreaming of a life with you though my body feels numb the ice freezes over the layers underneath it might be time to forget the girl i meant to grieve well its the first day of spring but my bones are crumbling and i don’t know how to sleep anymore so i’ll lie next to you lie next to you i’m left behind by the seasons that gave me my name and i can’t find a part of me to blame without you well its the first days of spring but my bones are already crumbling and i don’t know how to sleep anymore so i’ll lie next to you lie next to you

i know the pain you feel right now but there’s nothing i can say to make it better you saw me fall into the same hole but no one can make it better but i i love you maybe that’s all that matters and we we love you maybe that can be what matters i know those painful nights alone i know that they creep inside you but i also know good times at home on the moon, on top a tree, or just when the sky’s blue but i i love you maybe that’s all that matters and we we love you maybe that can be what matters

Unresponsive 01:51
i don't think we've made any eye contact but i'm not too sure hugging you would be wrapping my arms around a car bomb at least i would get a response at least i would get a response coloring between the lines unsaid well i've written everywhere i could so take the ink from my hands please take the ink from my hands

Violent Love 03:17
oh my love i’ve been fighting a war in my mind i've been here before well i thought so did you think so oh my dear i’m dying over here don’t see you see you’re killin yourself for me all for me it’s a violent love a starving love it’s a violent love a starving love oh my dear every now and then don’t you know we can’t die again amen amen it’s a violent love a starving love

Ghost 03:26
i look in your eyes see only disguise but i don't know what it means i've locked the doors and closed the windows but your ghost comes back to me chases me down the hall makes me remember what i threw at the wall for you i walk through the sunrise facing up towards the clouds but i hear your words crawling at my feet i run past the train tracks and into the void but your noise is whispering at me it chases me down the hall and i remember what i let i fall for you for you i’ve searched all the cupboards looked under the floors but there’s a hum inside my ear i’ve opened the raindrops i watched you throw past the years but i'm never coming back here for you
8.
i don’t know you anymore you’re the one who knocked on my door one year ago two years ago i still loved you you don't know me anymore i'm not sure if you ever did or what that was for three years ago three days ago i still loved you i still loved you you still loved me too not anymore you were so close to me so recently your heavy mind was rested on mine i carried the weight of your love four years ago you held my hand and i still loved you i still loved you you still loved me too not anymore
9.
you were a bad idea from the start you locked me out to sea eyes closed, mouth glued mouth glued to you blue lakes and tidal waves blue lakes and tidal waves

Red Winter 06:55
summer came with no surprise and i ran from the monsters in your eyes you came to me in my dreams slipping through cracks of memories you disappeared so fast now i can see that nothing lasts i miss you winter fell sticks and stones you were haunting through me through my bones i came to you in your dream told you we were meant to be you disappeared so soon i thought we almost walked the moon i miss you well, i thought you were the stonehenge i thought you were the leaf but when i snapped there was nothing well i looked for you in the forestry of green and i found nothing at all nothing tell me how we got here tell me why we’re still here tell me how we got here tell me how to leave here how to leave how do i leave she says to me in the dark im losing my spark she says to me in the dark she steals my spark you don’t leave here they say as i lay down next to you and they laugh like i am nothing i can’t look at the sky can’t even say my name so when i speak there is nothing nothing but you tell me how we got here tell me why we’re still here tell me how i got here tell me how to leave here how to leave how do i leave she says to me in the dark im losing my spark she says to me in the dark she steals my spark i lose my spark when i'm with her
