I know I do it to myself but I cannot admit it

Woke up at 8 am again

Took all my healthy supplements

Swear I’m getting better

1 steps forwards

3 steps backwards

Overwhelmed when things start taking shape

Telling everyone I’ll be okay

All these little white lies

Running circles round my mind

Lost in a dream again

Losing my mind again

I've seen so many things

And nothing is making sense

I’m fighting fire with fire

And no where I look is there water

So I’m burning down

Picture perfect

Wish that I could smile

Gonna lose it

I been up for hours

Swear I’m getting better

1 step forwards

3 steps backwards

Help me find out

Wheres my hidden power

Sitting picking petals off of flowers

Swear I’m getting better

I’m not living right

I’m not living right, right, right, right

Lost in a dream again

I’m losing my mind again

I’ve seen so many things

And nothing is making sense

I’m fighting fire with fire

And no where I look is there water

So I’m burning down

Down

I know I do it to myself but I cannot admit it

Lost in a dream again

I’m losing my mind

I’ve seen so many things

And nothing is making sense

I’m fighting fire with fire

And no where I look is there water

So I’m burning down

D E M O N S

You should know not to come around this time

My demons they come out in plain sight

We like to join hands under moonlight

All my loneliness burns like a fire

Keep me company through the dark hours

Help me to realize my power

All these paintings on the walls

They speak to me

When I try to fall sleep

They’re in my dreams

Not gonna run

I'll play along I'll play along

Not gonna run

I'll play along I'll play along

All this talking bout me getting so loud

Prolly best if I just keep my head down

I been stuck in this hell for a bit too long

If you think I care

You’re wrong

All my loneliness burns like a fire

Keep me company through the dark hours

Help me to realize my power

All these paintings on the walls

They speak to me

When I try to fall sleep

They’re in my dreams

Not gonna run

I'll play along I'll play along

Not gonna run

I'll play along I'll play along

You won’t see my on the town

But in my room I burn it down

So much power in one place

Give your tongue and you shall taste

The sweet sweet air chaos creates

All these paintings on the walls

They speak to me

When I try to fall sleep

They’re in my dreams

Not gonna run

I'll play along I'll play along

Not gonna run

I'll play along I'll play along

Float on

Flowing through life

Letting it take me

One day at a time

Hold on Learning to ride

Know it won’t save I gotta keep tryin

I put my feet into the shallow end and it keeps rising

Ain't gonna stop because I'm scared of it

Reaches my neck I’m taking one deep breath then going under I realize that I’ve been used to this

So I'm gonna tread lightly

One kick at a time

And I'm using the context

To keep me alive

I can feel the rip current slowly growing stronger I might find more peace if I go under Im using the context to keep me alive

Reading all the signs

Reading all the signs

Shadows

Glimmering waves

Under the weight of A million rains

Swallow

I choked on the pain

Then spit up the past cuz

It gave me no strength

So I’m gonna tread lightly

One kick at a time

And I'm using the context

To keep me alive

And I can feel the rip current slowly growing stronger

I might find more peace if I go under Im using the context to keep me alive

Reading all the signs

Readings all the signs

Little fish pass me by Saying hi

There’s nothing to worry about

S T R A N G E R

Saw you every morning in October

Black trench coat and a green pin clover

Always got a coffee from the 46th store

I wonder if I catch your eye

Maybe youre going to

Soho or to to the lower east side

If I ask you id get tongued tied, I been too shy all my life

I like staying in my corner

After 17

Never got older

Let my mind drift and wonder

Why I never got to know ya

Why you’re still a stranger

Just another stranger

Don’t wanna be strangers

New Years eve it and it finally hit me

Haven’t seen your face in the past 15 weeks

Subway singers don’t make it easy

Hearing whisky lullaby

Should be heading to the west side for this party I won’t like But I hop off 46th street, maybe you’ll see me this time

I don’t wanna be a loner

But I'm alone

And the city getting colder

Let my my drift and wander

Why I never got to know you

Why I’m still a stranger

Just another stranger

Don’t wanna be strangers

A million faces passing by But its you that I wanna run into Wish I could dim the lights outside

So you’d see all the way to my bedroom

A million thoughts are passing by But its you that I wanna hold onto Wish I could turn up all the lights

To see you next to me in my bedroom

Just another stranger

Don’t wanna be strangers

T H E O N L Y E X C E P T I O N

When I was younger, I saw My daddy cry and curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched As he tried to reassemble it

And my mama swore that she would Never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

But, darling, you are the only exception You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Maybe I know somewhere

Deep in my soul that love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways

To make it alone or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now, I had sworn

To myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

s a y y o u ' r e m i n e

I can see your Colors like a rainbow

Feel you with my eyes closed

Pull me in Feels like floating

I keep losing focus

Im high off your potion

Say you’re mine

Say You’re mine

Dancing in the middle of the street

No shoes, it's 30 degrees

The way you’re looking at me

You’re making it hard for me to breathe

You’re the oxygen I need

You keep me on my feet

I can’t go another minute

Without telling you I care cuz I do

Loving you seems possible

The more it grow

The more it shows

Even flowers let me know that

Things take time they Take time

Take time

Baby you should know that I don’t mind

I don’t mind

If it takes time

We don’t have to rush we have all night

I can see your Colors like a rainbow

Feel you with my eyes closed

Pull me in

Feels like floating

I keep losing focus

I’m high off your potion

Say you’re mine

Say you’re mine

Even though you’re shy

You can take your time

Imma spend the night with ya

I can see your light

Even when you hide

Im just tryna shine with ya

Hold my hand tonight

You can feel the vibe

I’m just tryna ride with ya

I got something to say if that’s alright

Get it off my chest and out my mind

I can see your Colors like a rainbow

Feel you with my eyes closed

Pull me in

Feels like floating

I keep losing focus

I’m high off your potion

Say you’re mine

Say you’re mine

Say you’re mine

Say you’re mine <3

p r e s c r i p t i o n

Everything goes white

I can feel the breeze

Euphoric delight

Only you and me

Pour your honey

Sickly sweet

Keeps me coming

Got me weak

You could kill me

I’d still be

Dialing ur number

6 feet deep

Gonna be real hard to break this habit

It’s like I want you 24/7

When I’m without you I feel sick

Think you work better than my prescription

Nothing feels as good as you do

If you ever leave I’ll be real sad

Let’s both hope that it don’t get to that

Pour your honey

Sickly sweet

Keeps me coming Got me weak

You could kill me

I’d still be

Dialing ur number

6 feet deep

Gonna be real hard to break this habit

It’s like I want you 24/7

When I’m without you I feel sick

Think you work better than my prescription

Better than my prescription

Everything goes white I can feel the breeze

Gonna be real hard to break this habit

It’s like I want you 24/7

When I’m without you I feel sick

Think you work better than my prescription

A L I E N S

I walked past your place

You were getting your drink on Saw somebody but I don’t want to think

Why’s it so goddamn hard

To let it go

You’re out there in the world

And I’m so far from

Feeling okay

Forgetting your face

It's nothing new

Made another mistake

I came in peace

But ultimately

Now were enemies

So I'll stay up here in the stars

And make friends with Venus and Mars

And hold onto hope that you will come and find me

This galaxy could’ve been ours

But here I come free falling down Into your world

I'm wishing I never found you

Time keeps moving on

I get stuck in my day dream

Places between what is and could’ve been

And I always thought we would make it

Getting high in your backseat

You said you believed in me

Feeling okay

Forgetting your face

It's nothing new

Made another mistake

I came in peace

But ultimately

Now were enemies

So I'll stay up here in the stars

And make friends with Venus and Mars

And hold onto hope that you will come and find me

This galaxy could’ve been ours

But here I come free falling down Into your world

I'm wishing I never found you

Lights out on

You and me

Thought we’d have our legacy

I swore everything was exactly as its supposed to be

But you gave me what I need

Something difficult to see

So now I’m out here floating in the atmosphere

So I'll stay up here in the stars

And make friends with Venus and Mars

And hold onto hope that you will come and find me

This galaxy could’ve been ours

But here I come free falling down Into your world

I'm wishing I never found you

B E A L R I G H T

Sweepin’ it under the rug

Is what we’re best at

Would you just give me a hug

Let’s turn the lights out

Tell me that you want me tonight

Is this the silent treatment

are you just being quiet

Now I feel just like my mug

In a thousand pieces

Broken glass and shattered vases

Old pictures and happy faces I can steer us back nice n’ easy

If you chose not to leave me

Cuz you pick your mood like a deck of cards

But time after time I’m the queen of your heart

After the fight is when the love starts

Bah da da da

Bah da, bah da, bah da, bah da da da

Bah da, bah da, bah da, bah da da da

Call me crazy

I do my best

To not f*cking be obnoxious

But you got me

All in my head

All these feelings hit the hardest

Oh

After the fight

Know we’re gonna be alright

After tonight

Will you hold me tight

Relationships always sink

Better head to dry land

Just you and me in the sea

Dont let go of my hand

But if you sink like DiCaprio

I’ll never forget that I was your Rose

After the fightin where does love go?

Bah da da da

Bah da, bah da, bah da, bah da da da

Bah da, bah da, bah da, bah da da da

Call me crazy

I do my best

To not f*cking be obnoxious

But you got me

All in my head

All these feelings hit the hardest Oh

After the fight

Know we’re gonna be alright

After tonight

Will you hold me

F I R E ( N E V E R D I E S )

Do you remember

Dancing in the snow in December

F*ck, my hands were cold

But it’s better

Better than dancing alone

Do you remember

Driving down country roads

Screaming freedom

Thinking we had it all

We were too young

We were outta control

There’s a piece of my heart somewhere miles away

And I hope that it’s glowin on your vanity

I think about you all the time

My fire

For you it never dies

For you it never dies

For you it never dies

Let’s burn it up tonight

And I know that I’m only here for the night

So I’m using what I got to give you all my time

And I’ll let you win just to break the tie

It ain’t losing if I already got the prize

You’re the prize

My fire

For you it never dies

There’s a piece of my heart somewhere miles away

And I hope that it’s glowin on your vanity

I think about you all the time

My fire

For you it never dies

For you it never dies

For you it never dies

Let’s burn it up tonight

Even if it was the last time

I’ll always dance in the moonlight

Hold on tight

My fire for you it never dies

There’s a piece of my heart somewhere miles away

And I hope that it’s glowin on your vanity

I think about you all the time

My fire

For you it never dies

For you it never dies

For you it never dies

For you it never dies For you it never dies

Let’s burn it up tonight

h e a d h e l d h i g h

Racing empty boulevards (there I go)

Tryna make this life an art (Picasso)

Found a story in the scars

Not afraid to look back

But I don't gotta look back

On the edge of something that I've never seen before Could be beautiful

Is it possible?

To see a flower standing in the middle of the storm

All I know is

With my head held high

I'll be the last one standing

In these shattered walls

With my head held high

I'll brace for the crash landing

Not scared to fall

With my head held

High, high, high

With my head held

With my head held high

Winning hand I've got these cards (this battle)

Played it right and found my heart (not fragile)

Went through hell and left my mark

Not afraid to look back

But I don't gotta look back

On the edge of something that I've never seen before Could be beautiful

Is it possible?

To see a flower standing in the middle of a storm

All I know is

With my head held high

I'll be the last one standing

In these shattered walls

With my head held high

I'll brace for the crash landing

Not scared to fall

With my head held high (high)

With my head held high (high)

With my head held high (high)

With my head held

With my head held high

On the edge of something that I've never seen before

I'm a flower standing in the middle of the storm

With my head held high

I'll be the last one standing

(The last one standing)

In these shattered walls

With my head held high

I'll brace for the crash landing

Not scared to fall

With my head held high (high)

With my head held high (high)

With my head held high (high)

With my head held high

With my head held high
