How many days? How many fires To lure me away? I wasn’t ready at seventeen Picture perfect wearing on me (I’m sorry) I’m better now I’m better now But you can’t find me Bet you can’t But you can’t find me Bet you can’t Bet you can’t How many days? How many fires To lure me away? I wasn’t ready at seventeen Picture perfect wearing on me (I’m sorry) I’m better now I’m better now But you can’t find me Bet you can’t But you can’t find me Bet you can’t But you can’t But you can’t But you can’t But you can’t But you can’t But you can’t But you can’t But you can’t But you can’t

I knew it Can’t pretend I’m surprised Will she be worth it Tried my best to try but lately I’ve been Feeling worthless I felt it The day you burnt me alive Under my dead skin The will to keep you mine was fading I’ve been Feeling helpless

It’s okay I’m still here close your eyes Slow your breath hold me close take your time Use your words build them slow tell me why It tears you up makes you scream makes you cry Don’t rush don’t leave It’s just one of those simple things That broke you once So you could be stronger with me Don’t rush don’t leave It’s just one of those simple things That broke you once So you could be stronger with me

Currents 03:54
Time used to feel infinite Turned blind Like a rock at the foot of a waterfall You were mine Troubled and intricate, unkind All the colours wash ashore I never expect you to change the way that you are For me Life happened to intertwine our times Then a seed began to grow ‘Til it died Are we incompatible inside? Watch the colours wash ashore I never expect you to change the way that you are Somehow we’re built to rise together then fall apart

You’re not that scary I’ve played in your room Held you in water to see how you move I’ll part your river Dance in your scenes Gaze through the demons that hide in your dreams Lay you down gentle Peel back your skin Pull me in closer I’ll hold out your wings All night Bleed it out I’m here for you All night Bleed it out I’m here for you Details in silver, skeleton rings Can you pose while you’re fading behind these things? Lend me your time That’s all I’ll ask for All night Bleed it out I’m here for you All night Bleed it out I’m here for you All night Bleed it out I’m here for you All night Bleed it out I’m here for you

Don’t stop trying It’s the closest you’ve been You can’t lose something you never had Focus, find me I’ve been waiting here too long Waiting here forever Waiting here too long Waiting here forever Waiting here too long Waiting here forever Waiting here too long Waiting here forever and ever Now I’m attached How could you leave so soon? From this moment we dreamed of Let's watch some reruns I bought a meal for two We’re just two people searching for things unknown And the world isn’t simple I’ll let some things go But I could use your help I’ve been waiting here too long Waiting here forever Waiting here too long Waiting here forever Waiting here too long Waiting here forever Waiting here too long Waiting here forever and ever

Martyr 04:07
Save me some kind of warning You could be patient Wait like the others Take me in moments Make it apparent Make it a promise Try not to show it Maybe I’ll save you a place if you ever have to come my way How do I bare these feelings to a mirror but I never say grace? Searching for wellness Dress like a novice All these years wasted Calling you baby Seek out the wonders Take it or leave it I’m not a martyr I’m not a river Maybe I’ll save you a place if you ever have to come my way How do I bare these feelings to a mirror but I never say grace? Maybe I’ll save you a place if you ever have to come my way How do I bare these feelings to a mirror but I never say grace? In my way

Whitney 02:31
One gaze at a time you’re a sensitive sight It’s all intertwined Held back in place till it’s well defined Moments of something intensify Dark horse at a glance Whitney Dilate in a search for light You and I both know it What a way to find you Be there when I’m old and grey Can we turn this into something? Beam it up beyond the moon In a certain kind of phrasing While the picture’s still amazing Whitney

Josif's Moon 01:02
Lost Finding myself My hands numb from the sun Buried in prayers from the jump All these scars and these tears I don’t want Let these bruised hands heal I can pull the strings but can’t argue with light But that’s the challenge in life I feel alive in the strife Threw my watch in the sky and watched time fly My hands above the sun my feet submerged in the swamp On the surface I’m numb let these burdens be gone It burnt my hands to pick my life up The ashes blow in the wind with a light gust Just look what the night done

These words die slow These words die slow Undone dime Die slow Now it comes Now it comes Now it comes Now it comes Now it comes Now it comes Now
