Lyrics:
i’m breaking bones
and you’re signing my cast
“that’s exactly how you’ll wind up dead”
i am blessed to be home
i’m possessed by my past
put a roof over my rotten head
you know exactly where i’ll go when i’m gone
know that it’s been in the works for so long
born and raised tending to our trauma bond
because you know that it’s all we’ve got
getting better with names
but still struggling with faces
and facing the worst i can be
i’ve been reasoning with
all my reasons to live
but i still got more reasons to leave
please stay as long as you’d like
back to old ways, just like riding a bike
you pray just in case of any afterlife
and you call just in case i’m dead
a face only a mother could love
but she can hardly even look at her son
living lonely
i won’t hurt anyone
i won’t hurt anyone
#Arm'sLength #NeverBeforeSeenNeverAgainFound
Lyrics:
you’re obsessed with dying young in a past life
and i can’t convince you otherwise
you say you used to dream of the ways that you have died
& i’m the reincarnate killer
who took you before your time
leave no trace behind
when the family tree
starts sprouting
some phantom limbs
i knew it to be true
now this kindred kindling
smoke won’t stop following you
you’re talking in your sleep, the only time i hear you speak
locked and sealed inside your ribcage
lays a stomach you won’t feed
now you can hardly hear the ocean in the shell you’ve grown to be
just vacancy
needed a change of scenery
(you miss a place you’ve never been)
but i suffocate up mountains
and i sink in every sea
(so let me be)
you’re vicariously living life through me
(when all i want is to feel clean)
you ended up with trustfall wounds
and pins and needles feet
bet i can hold my breath longer than you can underwater
and i will cling to your collarbones,
happily
you sound just like your father
but your voice carries farther
you can’t grow to be taller
half asleep
grab all the guilt you can garner and give it to me
you bite the hand that pulls on collar
and chew on your teeth
you had a good head on your shoulders
at least until you got older
you know, a steady and slow burn
still ends up in smoke
what started out as a smoulder
has surfaced; boiling over
when the eyes of the beholder
are sewn to be closed.
i’m breaking bones
and you’re signing my cast
“that’s exactly how you’ll wind up dead”
i am blessed to be home
i am possessed by my past
put a roof over my rotten head
you know exactly where i’ll go when i’m gone
know that it’s been in the works for so long
born and raised tending to our trauma bond
because you know that it’s all we’ve got

Lyrics:
struggling to finish the stories i tell
an extra pillow to prop me up when i’m unwell
you are always up in arms
but it just made sense to me
was feeling sorry for myself because i can’t see clear
but find it tough to forgive when you’re so self aware
can you spell it out for me
until it’s muscle memory?
you wrote off your pride
and i wrote you a letter
if you have the time,
i wish you’d live forever
the cloud in your head
is changing the weather
depersonalized, or simply self centred?
and how i come across
looks better on paper
i can’t tell apart sooner from later
it’s the type of loss that can swing in your favour.
#Arm'sLength #NeverBeforeSeenNeverAgainFound
Lyrics:
what if this all pans out like you said
and i outlive all my family and friends?
what’s up?
well nothing much
i’ve been losing touch the past few months
it’s all at once,
or only for a moment
you loved the smell of the smoke until it got in your clothes
i’ve got some skin that i won’t ever show
what if this all pans out like you said
and i outlive all my family and friends?
and if they don’t reach out, we’ll never speak again
you said don’t let it get to your head,
but where else would it get?
take a picture,
because it lasts longer than your brain
i’ve got a photographic memory
but each picture is of your face
you stopped believing in ghosts,
now you just haunt broken homes
i’ve got some skin that i wont ever show
the short end of every wishbone
what if this all pans out like you said
and i outlive all my family and friends
if they don’t reach out we’ll never speak again
you said don’t let it get to your head
but where else would it get?
what’s up?
well nothing much
i’ve been losing touch
the past few months
it’s all at once
or only for a moment
and how the fuck
do you show tough love?
i’m not that tough,
i can’t take much
is it just my luck?
what if this all pans out like you said
and i outlive all my family and friends
& i can’t believe i’m doing this again
when everyday is a new means to an end
and i never got used to it
#Arm'sLength #NeverBeforeSeenNeverAgainFound
Lyrics:
i let you in and you took everything as i knew it
and you wore out my name because you swore i was going to lose it
still if i had the choice i would take out my voice from the music
so when days feel the same i can paint on a face for amusement
you marked up my walls, told me that i looked small at the waistline
you said what’s your excuse, i took up too much room for the first time
i’ve got too much on my plate
i haven’t eaten in days
but i feel fine
i’m just worried and wondering why
if you notice me limping,
would you still take me in?
like baby teeth nibbling,
falling out when they break your skin
how many blocks make a building?
how many times until it’s effortless?
but who am i kidding
when my wit’s not so quick?
it pours when it rains
you were left out all day, you were shaking
you’re making your mark pushing everything hard on the pavement
i let you in and you took everything just to take it
and you wore out my name because you know how i ache when you say it
#Arm'sLength #NeverBeforeSeenNeverAgainFound
Lyrics:
you flew around
where my light goes
and you’re chewing holes
in all my clothes
i let you out
thought you’d go home
but you said your home
is where i go
am i precious or just delicate?
born with bargain-basement bones
and you know that
when your white blood cells
can’t count on you
know they’ll come for you soon
you’re numb, but not immune
you think fondly of the times
we burned smilies on our thighs
safe where no one else could see them,
just as long as you saw mine
just as long as you saw mine
you hold out hope
and put stock in star signs
with a telescope
to see if you’re right
a product of pity sex,
but a miracle no less
you said you’re not even that scary
wouldn’t have pegged you as an aries,
i guess
when your white blood cells
can’t count on you
know they’ll come for you soon
you’re numb, but not immune
you connect my dots
& my beauty spots
til you’re seeing stars
wherever i could not
made out a little spoon
said it’s just like you
a constellation curse
waning phase honeymoon
gone too soon
trying to look
more like my skeleton
i’d do anything to show
we’re not so different
when you drink to drown
in your own puke,
i’ll breathe life back into you.
there’s nothing i wouldn’t do
and when i leave, you’re so confused
like a baby in the other room
i’ll just pretend like i don’t hear you
but we both know i always do
we both know i always do
#Arm'sLength #NeverBeforeSeenNeverAgainFound
Lyrics:
i’m not concerned that you’d kill for me
but you don’t even live for me
i beg you to get out of bed
you spoke only in similes
and smiled at the symmetry
whatever made sense in your head
you said
don’t let me know you got home
man, i wanna feel more alone
don’t hold out hope
hold your hands around my throat
your days are numbered and you know
(you’re waxing and waning)
torn picking between your skin and bones
(you flicker, you’re fading)
now you’re winding me up and i’m twirling and dancing inside of your music box dreams
learning to love from the men in my family only gets you so far it seems
how many times am i told
i won’t go through it alone
when there’s nothing i want more?
here, you’ll always have a home
i think i found what i needed just as you were leaving
i guess you would've had to have been there to believe it, i know
if you could bring anyone, who would you bring?
each lower-case city and bad hiding place
and if you’re like this with everyone, i swear that’s okay
i’m the intrusive thought that you can’t shake away
i’ll give you my jacket, you can call me old fashioned
but i’m just an accident waiting to happen, oh no
because i’m bound to go braindead or better, insane
and there’s no guarantee you would love me the same
put me up on your shoulders, i’ve been standing all day
crooked, craning my neck at a formative age
i was taught slow and steady but im running on empty
you said i miss you already,
are my hands too heavy to hold?
it’s like i’m walking on eggshells inside of my brain
a minefield of memories,
i’m stuck in one place
#Arm'sLength #NeverBeforeSeenNeverAgainFound
Lyrics:
explain the paranormal,
or just tell me what you saw
you’re having dreams about the siholuttes you draw
you’re still laying low,
but you are hardly missing anything at all
now the fear of missing out has met its match
when you’re what’s missing.
i spent my best years playing mercy with your ghost
you’ll never beat me but you’re getting really close
you’re crushing up my pills
when i’m scared to swallow
(i slow the speed of sound
coming from your mouth)
but i always choke
& you beg to differ
i matched my breath with your breath
i do it just for fun
you’d like to think i’m counting
each and every one
but i lost my focus
you call my name
with a tin can on a string
you can count on me
but fuck, who’s counting?
you always said
you’d be crying if you could
i know what you meant
but i still wish you would
if i knew half the things you know,
i would never shut the fuck up, oh
you only slept right in the cold
shoot for the sky until someone goes
i wrote it down so i’d remember
you said i need to write my thoughts down more
but i can barely read my own damn writing
i’ve always rathered reading yours
i’ve always rathered reading yours.
begged them to burn your body
but they buried you instead
said you couldn’t tell the difference when you’re dead
when i’m scared to swallow,
where you go, i’ll follow
#Arm'sLength #NeverBeforeSeenNeverAgainFound
Lyrics:
when you said you never want to take my name, well i completely understood
you’ll pass your eyes open,
and you were hoping
i would close them shut
you could’ve sworn that we’ve met
like déjà vu in death
home has never been a roof over your head
but wouldn’t it be nice
to not have to tell me twice?
love in a different language
where we speak every second night
you had every right
to want to take your life
but you’ve earned all your anguish
and i think i’m coming down with something strange
and if i’m being fair,
i hope i’m coming down with something
because i’m never here and i’m barely ever there
i bet my family and friends
could all fit in this bed
but they’ll never spend the night because i scare them all to death
but wouldn’t it be nice
to not have to tell me twice
love in a different language
where we speak every second night
you thawed out the thin ice
i’ve been slipping on for life
now ill tread this water stagnant
i’m getting nowhere nice
a familiar face from forever ago
a vow to be silent and do what you’re told
and if you know how it ends don’t let me know
don’t let me know
wouldn’t it be nice
to not have to tell me twice
love in a different language
where we speak every second night
you had every right
to want to take your life
but you’ve earned all your anguish

Lyrics:
when trying hard not to remember makes you think about it more
i stand up straight, you measure, and you mark it on the door
never saw you walk on water
but i watched you mother four
you couldn’t raise me like a father
when we’re choking on our child support
am i smart
or just thinking really hard?
destined for dementia,
doomed right from the very start
our trauma bond was tangled
in tape from the vcr
so sick to my stomach
i was forcefed the fear of the dark
when you lose all muscle memory
and you forget completely how to stand,
you know i won’t let you forget me
i’ll come convince you who i am
i’ll make you understand
touch and go,
now you see me now you don’t
phantom limb affection
crave the feeling
of your ghost
you’re forging all the symptoms that you
never had supposed
you learned to live with them
said it’s easier to live alone
sick from the soothing,
drowning in dreams,
shellshocked in shelter,
you’ll pass in your sleep
the thorn in my side was grown from your ground
you are never before seen, never again found
i came to see
how the world looks without me
is it all you thought it’d be?
living in loving memory
you built me a home inside a bucket
and you’re poking some holes up top so i can breathe
knew i was lying
when i had to look away
do you think we’d be friends when we were younger?
if i knew you back then, god knows who i would be
walking in semi circles
to shape this baby face
a picture portrait of you, you’re pouting
plucked from the days where you couldn’t feel a thing
a thousand words and always counting
but you, i can’t explain

Lyrics:
i’ve got object permanence
i know exactly where you went
too proud to prove you could
pick up where i left
so you just start again
please come back home to me
end all of my dog whistling
you sing harmonies
as my ears ring me to sleep
oh no, it couldn’t be
please come and shake me when i’m talking in my sleep
my dreams have been so fucked and i don’t know what it means
where i can’t touch the bottom and you drag me
by my feet
so scared of getting scared
i know what’s underneath
blue beyond belief
i am your baby bird
catching every other word
you breathe life into a body washed ashore
and call it love
you said
“i’d run forever if they let me
when i lose my legs
would you put me down?”
like taxidermy versions
of your dogs hung on the wall
you’re getting good at letting go at your own pace
i think i’ll hold on until my fingers slip away
you can’t really be as angry as that look upon your face
and on picture day
you wish you never came
you swore you’d never smile with teeth again
i’ll stare at the sky until i see it blink
i will see the good in everything

Lyrics:
am i drifting down to your petals
drag my feet to the bone
some poor kill that you've drawn
back to sleep eternal
is it something i give
or maybe hide in its place
moss built
these twilit breaths
do you want to run?
or do battle forth?
sometimes i fear that
my heart is a curse.
red dances through
hvít crystals melt
stain your skin
my hellion pelt
some folly relief?
holding me in your chest
in a meadow lit
while you slowly rest
i was spilling love
dripping out my mana
vitriolic
inside of my heart
wanting to be present with your gaze
the full blossom of every evening
i can't see, fell nocturnal anyway
any way I’m gone.
i felt you though
void of light
gripping rope
crow and scythe
take us all
and all we hold here
bury me
lick our wounds
shoveling earth from feet
blackening
our eyes and breathing

Lyrics:
City in the moonlight
Illuminates the hills
Smothered in the big lights
Inside it’s only a jail
Thought I could see right through it
Thought I could be more than it
She said “I’m falling in love with faces on the train”
I’ve been taking your advice but it doesn’t get better with age
It’s like you pass right through me
Oh honey, I can’t do this
Won't waste another minute
It’s been a long time coming
Well, the doctor said he’s got me covered
In return I only owe my life
That’s okay with me, I aint sleeping well lately
I hear you knocking on my front door
But I will make it if the timing’s right
Thought I told you I don’t get out that much anyway?
Bloody in your bare feet, say it aint so
I can't tell you nothing that you don't already know
We're living life through movies
Slipping into a bad dream
And if my heart is still beating
I guess that is news to me
It's like you move right through me
And so it goes
I know that I can feel it
It is so close to me
I could reach in and touch it
As if it's part of me
Well, I know what you’re going for
But won’t you say it for me one more time?
Cause babe, you know I don’t listen well these days
All of the people that I know, they are all talk
Got a couple hundred things to say
Just spit it out your mouth cause I don’t care anyway
Lyrics:
I'm unstoppable in a stream of thought
Locked and loaded and ready to go
You can try, but you won't - I know that for sure
I am waiting though
Till then I can be your voice that you don't want
A quick draw that you can't outrun
When the dust settles and once I spark, there is no coming back
I thought I told you that I'm undefeated in the art of living
I have been corrupted
Faking is my talent
Don’t you know it’s all for show?
It’s sad but that’s the way it goes
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with anything that I have
Happiness is something that is learned, like anything else
And you gotta go at it yourself
Bored and alone
Feeling so strung along
I do what I can to get by
But it's getting hard to act right - like I'm alright
I can tell you're fearless in your mind with those roses over your eyes
Between you and I, I am rooting for us
Maybe not right now, but in the end
Now you’re moving like nobody is watching
Baby, it’s the weekend
You don’t care what happens
Find someone that's treating you well
You gotta go at it yourself
I don’t know where I am going
But I know where I’ve been and I know where I am
I'm staring at a dead end now
Looking for another way out
It's the lifestyle
It's the art of it
When it's the right time
We’ll come around again
And I don’t mind waiting every day
When it’s the right time
We’ll come around again

Lyrics:
i don't want to bleed
alone like this
wandering this dark forest
while I’m asleep
while i drift farther out
losing your scent
surrender to the blackness
while i am
watching everything growing
all the leaves
breathing forth
i feel like i am nothing
while they bloom

Lyrics:
Write it on a page
Write it out again
At least until I get it
Now do you understand
Come along with me
There’s a couple things I think I want to show you
I could try to play pretend
I could get dressed up and look real fine tonight
Could do something new with my hair
Look, I’m a famous actor
I want to do everything
But I never end up doing a thing
I’ll write a record in my bed
Show you that I’m important
Light up the stage
Oh, baby I can make it living in my ways
Doing my own thing
It don’t mean much to me ordering in again
Just like we did yesterday
Like we do every day
But maybe we’ll go out and we’ll dance
I could cut up a big, big rug tonight
And then you would turn to your friends
And you would say “he’s all mine”
Then we could drive out to the lake
We could do something they write books about
Throw rocks out into the water
Hey look, we’re interesting
Write it on a page
To get it from your mouth, from your heart
Time eats away
Makes you a little softer, a little quieter, a little more tired
I’m like the engine of a jet plane
I’m like a bullet in the chamber tonight
I went and bought a brand new hat, learned seven different languages
I want to have a new habit
I want to do something that I know is bad
Everyone will know who I am
Look, I’m a famous actor
Lyrics:
Write it on a page
Write it out again
At least until I get it
Now do you understand
Come along with me
There’s a couple things I think I want to show you
I could try to play pretend
I could get dressed up and look real fine tonight
Could do something new with my hair
Look, I’m a famous actor
I want to do everything
But I never end up doing a thing
I’ll write a record in my bed
Show you that I’m important
Light up the stage
Oh, baby I can make it living in my ways
Doing my own thing
It don’t mean much to me ordering in again
Just like we did yesterday
Like we do every day
But maybe we’ll go out and we’ll dance
I could cut up a big, big rug tonight
And then you would turn to your friends
And you would say “he’s all mine”
Then we could drive out to the lake
We could do something they write books about
Throw rocks out into the water
Hey look, we’re interesting
Write it on a page
To get it from your mouth, from your heart
Time eats away
Makes you a little softer, a little quieter, a little more tired
I’m like the engine of a jet plane
I’m like a bullet in the chamber tonight
I went and bought a brand new hat, learned seven different languages
I want to have a new habit
I want to do something that I know is bad
Everyone will know who I am
Look, I’m a famous actor

Lyrics:
i know that I’ve gone too far
maybe you wouldn’t get it
that’s just how you are
it's complicated
i'm just jaded
losing all my sparkle
overrated
spiral in a black hole
watch the paint thin
watch it disappear
until i tell myself: stop being alone
smile wide and just stare at the phone
losing all the time on my hands
my legs are sh
aking
and rubbed by sweaty hands
always replicated
i'm just jaded
losing all my sparkle
overrated
spiral in a black hole
watch the paint thin
watch it disappear
until i tell myself: stop being alone
smile wide and just stare at the phone
i could walk thru the park
in the evening
make a scene
scream obscenities
scream anything
would i cut it if i
laid here, wasted everything
would you mind
if i simply did this every day
i’m complaining
so often now
i shouldn’t bother
you walk the walk while i
talk the talk
and bury myself farther
i'm just jaded
losing all my sparkle
overrated
spiral in a black hole
watch the paint thin
watch it disappear
until i tell myself: stop being alone
smile wide and just stare at the phone
i’m complaining
so often now
i shouldn’t bother
you walk the walk while i
talk the talk
and bury myself farther

Lyrics:
oh blubbering me
gone again, lost in the wind
can we find the path anew
i waited years for that call
taking time think of
bruises kept
lost confidence
it's a game i like to play called
wait for me to
grow the skin
to say that i'd be happier without you
in a way i'm glad you came
cuz life isn’t better thru the rear view
cl
ock is winding down
the hourglass slipping away
after the glory days are gone
am i left feeling the same
i don’t wanna see you again
if that’s cool
because i'm running out of time
to abuse
i want to feel brand new
oh here i am
back in the driver's seat
rinse and repeat
complaining about all the same things
it’s so obvious the
clock is winding down
the hourglass slipping away
after the glory days are gone
am i left feeling the same
i don’t wanna see you again
if that’s cool
because i'm running out of time
to abuse
i want to feel brand new
At night
i laid awake
to listen to crickets
in my lonely suburb
the time keeps on ticking
Lyrics:
to
the ones that i loved
the car crashed
years ago
i just didn’t remember
revolve myself into pieces
folding inward, showing creases
show me care
show me reason
sitting idle, slowly reaching
fall into the hole
till the clouds clear up ahead
what does it even mean
it’s not so sweet to
be against the one
who takes the fall
and worst of all
its tastes like tangerine
maybe you won’t make it
in these times of
my
life
i’m just showing all the cards
there no secret beneath it now
i’ll fall from such small heights
tell myself im gonna die
and we call the ambulance , sound alarm
mark the x on my forearm
fall into the hole
till the clouds clear up ahead
what does it even mean
it’s not so sweet to
be against the one
who takes the fall
and worst of all
its tastes like tangerine
maybe you won’t make it
0 for 3
going down in your history
i write a lot
but i always get what comes to me
and i know
that
it feels like the world
isn't falling apart
but there’s a constant reminder

Lyrics:
On a highway outside of town
With the batteries running out
And when the lights go out
You’re gone with everyone
Some broken glass is all you keep
Is it what you want or is what you need?
It’s plain to see
You’ve got your mother’s mind to help you out
I’m in danger
Hear me out
And I know you can
I don’t think you will
It’s a long way back down to the bottom
Can you guess how far I’ll go?
You have no worth to hold on
When the night has come and that day is gone
Had to do some wrong before I could some right
You’ve got your mother’s mind
Comes back to me every time
You've got your mother's mind to help you out
I’m in danger
Hear me out
And I know you can
I don’t think you will
I shouldn’t wish you well and I know i won’t
Can you guess how far I’ll go?
You took me out a closed door long ago
Danger
Hear me out
Big guns
Little walls
It’s a long way back to where I came from
I’m in danger
Hear me out
And I know you can
I don’t think you will
It’s a long way back down to the bottom
Can you guess how far I’ll go?
