Lyrics:
I don't want to waste my life away
I don’t want to have to run
I’m scared to say it to your face
I don’t ever want to hear your name
But now you’re quiet
And I can’t hear anything at all
No one looks at me like I’m the one
I’m a portrait set on fire
By a girl who doesn’t mind
She would look at me like I’m the one
But now she’s lying
And I can’t see anything at all

I don’t mind
Save my life again
I follow you, and you take me home again
I don’t mind
I’ve died a thousand times
And the price is one more life that was never mine

Every promise was a warning sign
All my friends called you a liar
Out of sight and out of mind
But you still look at me like I’m the one
So I’m now dying
And I can’t say anything at all

I don't want to waste my life away
I don’t want to have to run
I’m scared to say it to your face
I don’t ever want to hear your name
But now you’re quiet
And I can’t hear anything at all

I don’t mind
I’ve died a thousand times
And the price is one more life that was never mine Mine, mine, mine

I saw you in a dream
I called
You turned around
A work of art
I lost and found
One more life that was never mine Mine, mine, mine
Save my life again
I follow you, and you take me home again

Lyrics:
we danced alone on the second floor
of someone’s run-down high school dorm
you broke up with your girlfriend
we’re blasting phoebe’s moon song in your room

we skipped school
just to bend the rules
now we’re getting high and it’s getting old
18 without a license
no fixed address for you to call your home

i’m sorry
i should have looked after
that bracelet you gave me
but i can’t forget
how you didn’t bother with a birthday text
i can’t feel my body when you’re in my head
isn’t it ironic that you’re my best friend

cause i’ve been
chasing all my lows and
you were strong enough to stand with my nihilism
we joked about our disappearance

i was
halfway on the run when
i heard all the horror stories about your mother
i think you’ve ought to run away with me

we closed our eyes
to see the stars
when the sky was dying in July
i asked you if you noticed
we justified the deep to leave a mark

i saw you learn
that good things burn
cause growing up means getting hurt
i left without a warning
you said you saw my ghost in every corner

i’m sorry
i should have looked after that bracelet you gave me
but i told you first
i am not afraid to set my life on fire
you were getting scared of my untangled words
looking through the picket fence, i’m getting tired

cause i’ve been
chasing all my lows and
you were strong enough to stand with my nihilism
we joked about our disappearance

i was
halfway on the run when
i heard all the horror stories about your mother
i think you’ve ought to run away with me

with me
with me
i think you’ve ought to run away with me
with me
with me
i think you’ve ought to run away with me

i’m sorry
i’m sorry

cause i’ve been
chasing all my lows and
you were strong enough to stand with my nihilism
we joked about our disappearance

i was
halfway on the run when
i heard all the horror stories about your mother
i think you’ve ought to run away with me

with me
with me
i think you’ve ought to run away with me
with me
with me
i think you’ve ought to run away with me

Lyrics:

You're in my head
I can't stop smiling 'cause you're so upset
I wrote your name on my hand like a tattoo
Out of sight, they won't see 'cause it's taboo

It's 3AM
Wishin' I was someone else instead
Change my name and my face
I'm so different
Wear my cross on your chest, I'm your secret

And we fall into nothing
Like the wind in our hair
Trace it back
Into your arms
And your lips
Are my secret
I'll keep it or leave it
Let you ruin my life

You're in my bed
I'm wishin' you were someone else instead
Left your shirt and your smell in my closet
Keep my chain on your neck, and you lock it

(Yeah)

It's the way you fade away
Every night, it feels the same
Wouldn't it be such a shame?
If you ruin my life

And we fall into nothing
Like the wind in our hair
Trace it back
Into your arms
And your lips
Are my secret
I'll keep it or leave it
Let you ruin my life

And we fall into nothing
Like the wind in our hair
Trace it back
Into your arms
And your lips
Are my secret
I'll keep it or leave it
Let you ruin my life

And we fall into nothing
Like the wind in our hair
Trace it back
Into your arms
And your lips
Are my secret
I'll keep it or leave it
Let you ruin my life

Let you ruin my life

Put your gun to my forehead
Baby, please take my last breath
I try to mask my indifference
I close my eyes, and I see red

Lyrics:

You say I’m losing focus and my love is poison
You set my world on fire and I watch it burn
You remain in my veins
Love me just to spit me out

Dial tone
It’s buried in the deep
Eyes rolled back
Have you fallen for me?
But I’ve fallen
And I’m falling

You say I’m losing focus and my love is poison
You set my world on fire and I watch it burn
You remain in my veins
Love me just to spit me out
You say I’m losing focus and my love is poison
You set my world on fire and I watch it burn
You remain in my veins
Love me just to spit me out

Medicate me till I sleep
Medicate me till my body’s frozen
I’ve been swimming in the deep
Watching you break until I’m broken
All the lies you told me
All the shit you owe me
Love me and I’ll spit you

Outside, outdoor, out of my mind
Outsourced, ignored, out of my sight
You remain, in my veins
Love me just to spit me out

Medicate me till I sleep
Medicate me till my body’s frozen
I’ve been swimming in the deep
Watching you break until I’m broken
All the lies you told me
All the shit you owe me
Love me and I’ll spit you

Medicate me till I sleep
Medicate me till my body’s frozen
I’ve been swimming in the deep
Watching you break until I’m broken
You remain, in my veins
Love me just to spit me out

Medicate me till I sleep
Medicate me till my body’s frozen
I’ve been swimming in the deep
Watching you break until I’m broken
You remain, in my veins
Love me just to spit me out

Lyrics:
Is this a gesture of love
Or just a blade in your palm
I'll never know until the end of it all
But I'll roll the dice once again
Would you push me away again?
Would you pull me back in again?

I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
Until we crash into the morning
I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
Let this night never end

I can’t explain what burns hot in my head
But I keep coming back to you
I can’t leave you when you are rotting away
Your roots are planted in my skin

When the sky cracks tonight
You’ll be right by my side
Screaming into a void
It makes me churn with bliss

And I can’t seem to find
Why you came to my life
Fucking up everything I’ve done
Hoping I’ll see you again

I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
Until we crash into the morning
I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
I’ll see you when the night comes
Let this night never end

(I’ll see you when the night comes)
When the sky cracks tonight
(I’ll see you when the night comes)
You’ll be right by my side
(I’ll see you when the night comes)
Screaming into a void
(Until we crash into the morning)
It makes me churn with bliss
(I’ll see you when the night comes)
And I can’t seem to find
(I’ll see you when the night comes)
Why you came to my life
(I’ll see you when the night comes)
Why you came to my life
Let this night never end
