I’m waiting for the moon to fall This eternal heartbreak had me holding out for complete collisions or close calls Practicing ancient prayers, midnight hymns, rips and tears Every night it gets closer and closer But I can’t help to feel farther and farther away When a dog can’t stand It bites back Combat your demons and go for their throat Arising, the Bismarck has come back afloat There is something vicious burning up this spiral But don’t hold me down now, don’t hold me down now I’ll submit myself to voids of black holes Don’t hold me down now, don’t me down now I’m lost in thought again Drawing up the apocalypse and I can’t seem to pull myself back in I’m out for blood again This body was riddled with good intention But even the brightest lights eventually grow dim I was thrown to the wolves Tearing my bones But I’ll come back whole breathing in solar winds Reattaching my limbs, fastening safety pins There is something vicious burning up this spiral But don’t hold me down now, don’t hold me down now I’ll submit myself to voids of black holes Don’t hold me down now, don’t me down now credits

Thieves 03:50
wapping organs in and out Strapping me to tables, dissecting me yourself You can take all the pieces you don’t have Rebuild your shell if it means cutting me in half But I could never do the same to you I’d beg my way to the alter, I’d bleed out I do’s So stitch me up and make me brand new Because I can’t wait for that day I was always caught up in how you crashed the sky into the sea When you grew wings I couldn’t keep your feathers from shedding It looks like we have a lot to talk about We have a lot to talk about We were less like lovers/more like thieves Stealing the hearts of others to wear on our sleeves So we hid in arctic circles You grew in arctic circles Because despite what you think, I would freeze If it meant keeping you warm But then you say it’s not okay That we’re okay with dying alone Call me up, call me up Tell me you’re addicted to this travesty Call if off, call it off And fly away when this island starts sinking Brave the cold, the arctic breeze The ice has covered all of me And I could never fall asleep Without your lips, your hips, your tongue, your teeth We have a lot to talk about We have a lot to talk about

Stay 04:30
Dead for another evening We were sleepless on the ceiling You found your way to my skin, and burrowed in I thought I’d never tasted love, I’m always so detached But there’s a movement missing from the inside of my chest And all the beautiful words you would speak, still devour me I was wrapped up in your veins And stayed suspended and tangled for days Above the deepest divides, we fell with our hands still tied And I thought This is what happens when two hurricanes collide It becomes easier to let go even when it’s everything to hold on tight But I don’t want to know I don’t want to know We were more than just catastrophe Twisting fate lines so you and I could be But I always feel so far away You were where the Atlantic and Pacific agreed to meet Overtaking the ground and flooding into me You always swept me away and all I want is to stay You traced paths between the stars Your fingertips created scars But I didn’t need the sky when I had the nova in your eyes So this is what happens when I cave in too soon The labyrinth I’m condemned to keeps me light years from you But I don’t want to know I don’t want to know I loved that habitat we made The place where we always dreamed awake With you, I was home But there’s all this chaos in my blood and I just had to let it go But I wanted to stay So just cut your losses and hate me for it But I don’t wanna know So just cut your losses and hate me for it But I don’t wanna know

Allison 03:54
You were lost in the garden, embraced by it all I chased you down rabbit holes, through summer and fall And I think I was alive You were filling in landscapes with new color schemes Changing up physics and astronomy And I knew you were so high Is it too soon to be thinking of you? We wandered in courtyards Through graveyards you danced Reading each headstone till our eyelids collapsed Saying, “if we were to go, this would be our home” So we drank down our potions and chanted new spells Second guessed heaven and whispered of hell You thought eternity seems boring Is it too soon to be thinking of you? We are just children playing in the dark Creating worlds, and trading them for ours But I I’m dreaming of you, I’m dreaming of you I’m dreaming of you, I’m dreaming of you There is so much of your body that I want to know That I promise that I’ll go wherever you wanna go I would do anything to explore the galaxy with you alone Cause when I was a boy I dreamt of spaceships and planets Multiple skies, and playing with magic And you’re the closest I will ever get

Good Morning 04:40
I was reborn and spat out I took a year to crawl around on tragic ground I stood out as a white flag and was completely burned down And when I woke, the state had flooded And the water looked so deep So if I had a soul worth saving maybe I’d drown in good company Keep it together I’m trying to keep it together I’m not running away I was orbiting too fast through time and space But my head got spun around when I tried to slow down Now I don’t know if there’s a place to go I just can’t keep it together I looked for comfort on the mountain The top clouded my view of all the things I thought I knew I was too big of a coward to undress this city I was so afraid that there’d be nothing left for me Please don’t go You’re one of the few things making me want to stick around When I committed to leaving But now I already miss everyone and everything Oh my God, what have I done Please say it’s not so bad Please just say you’ll be around when I get back
