My eyes are not used to the sun
after all the time I’ve spent inside
I think it’s time to go
I’ve been waiting for a moment of nothing
to drive away into the unknown
knowing I have a place to come back to when I’m lost
PRECHORUS
I think i’ll just throw my keys out the window
I’m never coming back
My everything pushed me aside,
now I’m never looking back
CHORUS
I’m Leaving to go south, to go home
from the seaside to the forest
where the grass knows my steps
where the rivers are my friends
where my memories are
where my hopes were born
where’s there’s awe and wonder

Silver Lining
03:51
|

|
I thought you cared and I cared too.
But I’m so proud of all the times
I said I loved you,
I’m still in love with a stranger
who’s not a stranger anymore,
who knows…
CHORUS
There’s a silver lining a silver lining
buried deep in the chest of the keeper
x2
oh i wonder what is
the colour of your fever
there’s a silver lining a silver lining
buried deep in the chest of the keeper
We met when I most needed you
So I know, all the shit I put you through
that time’s gone,
gone the time where I’d let you in my mind.
I’m still in love with that stranger
who’s not a stranger anymore,
who knows…
BRIDGE
Leave the gold to the greedy, you won’t find any here

I see the sunrise
on the horizon
I’m here again
I’m just happy to be back
I see the sunflowers staring at the sky
you’re the first one that made me see the beauty that’s inside
PRECHORUS
There’s always a thought in the back of my head that whispers “what if you don’t make it back?” x2
I don’t seem to care
CHORUS
I won’t stay forever
I won’t stay forever
Today could be my last
and I like living that way
I’m here again
I’m just happy to be back.
Like the sunflowers in august
eventually I’ll curve and I won’t hold my head high
but for now, I’m here and I’m smiling
BRIDGE
I won’t stay forever, stay forever

Everything I Had
05:41
|
|||
|
I used to say “Don’t leave me” all the time
and we both knew you never would
I used to say “I love you” every time I saw you
and you would always reply,
but now you don’t, is there something wrong?
I don’t think love can die out so fast
but a few days were enough for you…
You said I don’t wanna hurt you, yet I’m on the floor…
You’re crying too but I still want more
Was it all a lie, did it just burn out, were the words we said nothing but sounds?
I don’t wanna leave you, you were everything I had… It’s like asking me to leave my heart behind and never look back, I just can’t.
There’s nothing worse than knowing this kiss will be our last
I’m shaking and you don’t seem to care, you’re so cold…
Why are you pretending you don’t care when you do, cause you do (right?)
I can’t seem to run out of tears, but you’re ready to leave me behind
I can’t seem to find you near, and you still won’t change your mind…

Paranoia
04:39
|
|||
|
The air feels like it used to
like at the start of everything
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
I’m the last to leave the womb
I thought the future wasn’t here yet
I thought i could finally have some peace
I need to stop counting the days, I know I can’t stand the heat
PRE-CHORUS
There’s an alien feeling running through my veins
Everything’s made for me and I feel like there’s a fate
There’s a world inside a screen
flourishing with disbelief
a virtual oasis
where the weakest flowers can be
CHORUS
They feed on paranoia in the city of digital Babilonia
your flash is burning my cornea yet I don’t know ya
send me a threat, I’ll pretend to be scared
now I can’t see if you’re really there
Real beauty lies in the cracks of a retina screen
take a picture for their memories.
I thought I was gonna be fine, after the end of what was started before me
but never could I have imagined,
that there’s no way to be seen.
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You’re taking all my chances, and leaving me with nothing
you’re taking the one chance I had away with you x2

All I Have
02:33
|
|||
|
The marks on my face and scars on my chest are all I have,
why would I change them for you?
The shadows in my voice and the colours in my head are all I have
why would I let you change them to make them more like you instead?
CHORUS
What more do you need from me?
Change the channel if you want porn
I’m not your doll, you see
A black rose will never lose its thorns
you get what you get and you’re lucky I’m wasting my time on this
laugh all you want but you’ll never be the best
this darkness is all i have and you will never turn the lights on
this darkness is all i have and i will never turn the lights on
verse 2
You’re mistaking my kindness for idiocy
I guess I must be a little stupid talking about this
but if you think that you’re the best I wouldn’t walk past a mirror
you might end up feeling ugly
CHORUS
What more do you need from me?
Change the channel if you want porn
i’m not your doll, you see
A black rose will never lose its thorns
You get what you get and you’re lucky I’m wasting my time on this
this darkness is all i have and you will never turn the lights on
this darkness is all i have and i will never turn the lights on

In the night when I’m lonely
I think of all my fantasies
when the sleazy becomes holy
that’s when I feel free
I lose the drive to stay safe at least twice a day
so when the world goes to sleep I make up my mind
and I’m sure this time
CHORUS
I think I sold my flesh online,
somebody bought it for a hundred
I think I won’t be fine this time
in the filth of the darkest shrine
So call my mama
tell her I’m not coming home tonight
I won’t be back until I’m dead,
so throw my pictures in the fire
I lost the will to live my life
at least a couple hundred times
I don’t believe my friends when they say it will all be better one day
I lose the drive to stay safe at least twice a day
and so when the world falls asleep I make up my mind and I’m sure this time
CHORUS
we’ll all feel better
we’ll all feel better soon
we’ll all feel better soon

Stripper
04:51
|
|||
|
I’m empty
like a fountain with no water
thirsty
for the rush of a temporary lover
Tripping
on the high I feel trying to please him
Naked
bodies in the mausoleum
But I can’t get away from the thought of you in my mind
I can’t help but feel like dying
CHORUS
I’m taking off, taking off all that could’ve been wrong with me
I’m stripping myself of the joy and the misery
I’m taking off, taking off all the thoughts that could’ve saved me
I’m stripping myself of this rage and sympathy
Lonely
I’m waiting in the dusk
Bearing
this rotted self-disgust
Craving
a desire to let go
Carving
my will on a tombstone
but I can’t get away from the thought of you in my mind
I cant help but feel like dying
CHORUS
BRIDGE
no matter what I do, no matter what I say I can’t let go of you

In the Darkness
03:50
|
|||
|
Close you eyes,
we’re leaving our bodies tonight
I pray that all will stay the same
Every colour turns to grey, every fire turns to dust
the reflection in the mirror fades and there’s nothing left of us
CHORUS
In the darkness I can feel your insecurities,
In the darkness I can see
And every time I go I know that you won’t follow me but,
In the darkness I can see
Close your eyes,
I’m about to lose my mind
my shadow’s defected, it went with the wind to somewhere I can’t find
every promise that we made, blinds my senses and your needs
all the memories that won’t fade, my third eye opens when I sleep
CHORUS
every colour turns to grey, every fire turns to dust
the reflection in the mirror fades and there’s nothing left of us
