Lyrics:
Maybe I don’t talk too much I just never listen to anyone else
Maybe I’m the only one who’s been brave enough to go f*ck myself
Maybe there’s a version of me in a London sky who doesn’t sleep alone
Maybe I’m no better off taking my time than I ever was chasing ghosts
It’s a casual drink inside a casual bar
Oh would you tell me, do your friends all know exactly where you are?
Cause they’ve heard rumors and they think that I don’t finish what I start
And I’ve got throws and throws of angry ghosts that chase me in the dark
All the rumors that you heard babe every one of them is true
I’ve got a nasty f*cking habit of playing with my food
I like to eat my lovers
God they just go down like water
Ice cold on an empty stomach
Tell me have you had enough yet
Break my bread
I remember you said
You said I tasted like the bottle Noah sank into the sea
Because I cracked along the bottom and there’s nothing in my
You said babe I’ve got a problem I said baby you got three
Because the monsters in the rear view they are closer than they seem
And all the whispers that you heard babe every one of them is true
I’ve got a nasty f*cking habit of playing with my food
I like to eat my lovers
God they just go down like water
Ice cold on an empty stomach
Tell me have you had enough yet
I like to break my promises
I think it keeps me honest
Generous cause im not kind
I justify your blood like holy wine
Take my time
Youre all mine
Cause i
I want you to kiss me with yor eyes closed
Like I might fade away

lyrics:
Philadelphia screams in the summer but
it’s far too late
these streets are drowning in lovers I’ll
never replace
never replace
I keep all my wristbands
from bars I don’t remember
thinking I can go back
to when we were together
I keep empty bottles
of gin under my bed frame
I’m not an alcoholic
but I’ve been thinking the same
thing- then I will make them
into something lovely
and someday when I’m famous
I swear she’s gonna love me
I’ll be on the billboards
my face at the bus stops
I will not remember
the winter that she broke us
’cause
Philadelphia screams in the summer but
it’s far too late
these streets are drowning in lovers I’ll
never replace
never replace
I keep leaving voicemails
for people who don’t want me
I’m hiding in her garden
the morning glory’s taunt me
tell me that I’m lazy
and “everybody’s waiting!”
“your friends are getting married!”
“your sister had a baby!”
they said these things will make me
into something lovely
if I stop playing ‘Ring Round the Rosie’ at the club
then I’ll find someone brand new
with four doors and a guest room
and if I really wanted
be settled by the autumn
I keep all my wrist bands
I keep all my wrist bands
in case you come back
in case you come back
and I would ask her if she wants to
go an visit our old haunts
but I heard that they shut down the grape room
and I’ve still got her mother on
all of my social media she
says “Happy Birthday, Hon! We Miss you!”
and it’s not true.
(I keep all my wristbands)
Philadelphia screams in the summer but
(I can never go back)
I barely lived through spring
(The city here is screaming)
they tell me to go find another but
there’s just no
there’s no replacing

lyrics:
here we go again on a stitched up ferris wheel
you've fallen in love with the way that loving me makes you feel
its not your fault your not the first
I fall in love with things that burn
so ill dress up a bucket of lies and
call it a compromise for
the way you painted me in your head
sure, I'm running out of air but
after all fair is only fair so
we'll see whose first to call it quits
cause I drew my lines on the ground, and you're the one who had to go
out of bounds
you conveniently forget all the things that I just said
far too busy hanging mirrors in your lions den oh
were I truly just, I'd walk away
but you're at my neck begging me to stay
so I'll dress up a bucket of lies and
call it a compromise cause
your took your time looking for a crack
pulled the thread on a single tear, well
after all fair is only fair and
I never warned you that I bite back
but I drew my lines on the ground
and all your friends are getting married
is that why you're so set on me?
or did your parents teach you secrets
were just treasures you should seek
I never wanted a war
but you ran around and around and well
you know my comfort zone's not your
god d*mn fucking playground
ill dress up a bucket of lies and
call it a compromise for
the way you painted me in your head
and aren't you getting too old for this?
manic pixie bull shit
you're gonna squeeze me till there's nothing left
I drew my lines on the ground and you're the one who had to go out of booouunnddsssss
lyrics:
they say there's a ghost in the hills where I live
twenty-odd years spent walking never once have I found it
it's easy to think that it must be me
but if you're quite on a Sunday you can hear him weep
they think I'm the little boy in the story
but I just come when I'm called out by name
the pastor asks me why I never told them
I said his mom would never look at me the same
I gave my word at seven then I broke the rules
oh, the things they should tell you before they make you choose
so I try to stay awake in between the trees
staving off dreams of a maker that i'l never meet
they think I'm the little boy in the story
but I just come when I'm called out by name
the pastor asks me why I never told them
I said his mom would never look at me the same
my mama tells her friends that I'm different
she asks that they still lay down their hands
she told me not to talk to the preacher
she didn't think that he'd understand
so now I don't ask any questions
I don't even pray
I stay away in the mountains
try and forget my name
they think I'm the little boy in the story
but I just come when I'm called out by name
the pastor asks me why I never told them
I said his mom would never look at me
I said his mom would never look at me
the same
go hand yourself inside the cave with the others
welcome to my collection, Herodotus’ eight wonder
its never my fault you don’t have to say it
it’s all in the timing and you wish things were different
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
So lay your secrets at my feet
and God behold the mercy of me
Cause you got carried away
They say I’m a prophet but I’m the one I can’t trust
I sleep in barrels with the things I can’t touch
You’re out in the water and I’m safe on the shore
Guess we know which one of us has been here before
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
So lay your secrets at my feet
and God behold the mercy of me
Cause you got carried away
You got carried away
You got carried away
Did you get carried away by the way that I sang somebody else’s name?
Did you get caught in the current, and crushed under the burden of your fingers crawling up my ribcage?
Was it far too distracting all the sounds of me lapping up your leaking heartache?
Did that December fog just make a losing dog look like a saving grace?
Guess I might have made the same mistake
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
you were drowning, you needed breath
And what’s a few kisses between friends?
Oh I was born to understand
My blood turns salt into stained glass
So lay your secrets at my feet
and God behold the mercy of me
God behold the mercy of me
God behold the mercy of me

lyrics:
all the lights go out
and the room goes dark
all the powers down
where your fingers brushed my arm
all the lights go out
and there's no one left
just me, you, and your palm
where you're holding all my breath
these feelings always turn me into the worst version of me
you need a light? lets watch the whole damn block burn
you fill me up with your scattered debris
nobody make a sound
cause I would run to the ends of the earth for you
fashion all of my bones into something brand new
I'd raise an army of gods
I'd follow you into war, I'd leave all the best pieces of me
on the cutting room floor
do you see it now? why I'd never tell?
everything about me, would be bad for your health
I'm not a labor of love, I'm a cautionary tale
these feelings always turn me into the worst version of me
I would open up all of my old wounds if you're the type who likes watching me bleed
when the lights have gone out and I'm out of my mind
I hope you don't find the nerve to start asking me why
cause all the best pieces of me
they don't wanna lie
and I would run to the ends of the earth for you
god I would've done anything you asked me to
and the person I build she would cease to exist
cause you needed a light and I lit the match on my skin
and I say that it's fine, cause I was so gold before
and we're never quite safe from the things we adore
I would've torn apart worlds, and left their scraps on your porch,
I'd leave all the best piece of me
on the cutting room floor
lyrics
oh the place out the corner of my eyes is till blurred
with the pages and bridges and things that I've burned
and the facts and the figures chip away like the paint
that I spilled overtop of all the messes I made
take me back to the winter I knew who I was
I was 19 and flawless and falling in love
oh the things I would give
to go back to the days when a drink and a bath made it all wash away
when did my room become a roadside motel?
was it around the time I started playing myself ?
my body's a word that's been said so much that it no longer means
all the things it did once
take me back to the winter I knew who I was
I was 19 and flawless and I didn't know
all the things I would lose
when fate came to collect
all the pieces I hated, I want them all back
are there pieces of me, I continue to kill?
like a bitch walking Isaac right onto the hill
will I wish that I'd love the empty shell that I'm in?
cause I never thought I was flawless back then
no I never thought I was flawless back then
