melt 04:29
when you're the king of the basement you stay up at night you turn off the lights when you're hiding under blankets the rest of them cried circling blind when you were searching for an answer to the meaning of life your flowers died you would always get so jealous that time never ends but it ends your life i feel so inside you seem so tongue tied i'm coming through you i'm coming through you

better 05:54
watch them float away into the great landscapes forever paradise serene the endless dream a silent panic scream what is better, what is better? what if there's nothing there when i get there in the ground, with no sound, what is better? what is better? if heaven did exist, i wouldn't believe in it nothing lasts forever now that would make me sick and things would get real dull real quick if i could never go to hell to see who i have now become buried children scream it doesn't mean anything to pray at night and act like you're a king what is better, what is better, what is better? what if there's something there and i don't get there in the clouds, orchestral sounds, what if i'm better, if i'm better, if i'm better darling better, better, better i would rather bleed than have the answers to everything

hold(on) 06:17
home like a bird in the leaves of a tree careless and free, like the rocks by the sea just be careful what a beautiful scene, how the colors can sing it's the nature of things just be careful how it hurts you when you fall when the turbulence is strong hold on, hold on i've been told now please don't touch the glass in this exhibit, it's cold and dark and critics seem to laugh i'm on display, the museum of pain and fear is set with self portraits that represent my flaws to some extent hold on how it hurts you when you fall when the turbulence is strong hold on, hold on hold on, hold on

try 03:02
no i don't need it stand up and breathe i'm just trying to call the police i don't want you to let go of me i could scream but no ones listening

hold(me) 06:02
hold me fear me how do you want things to be? reality distinguished fearless of disease sometimes i'm the warden of your body and it makes me feel like flying hold me these neurons of love digital pleasures wearing off on me this unholy stimulation feels so wrong how could you operate the screen run slowly, wizard in a dream sometimes i'm a prisoner in my body and it makes me feel like dying

velvet 06:53
burn our eyes out with screens corporations fund our dreams pdf memories streaming conscious mp3s sirens sound, hide and seek deconstructed harmony silent night, rite of spring any animal can sing i've slipped around but honestly, does any of this matter? i bet your flattered your breath is slow it's killing me now, this night might last forever i felt lonely, the things that i'd type felt so desperate, late at nigh, drink some wine once i met her, a beautiful girl, nothing mattered in this world, touch so real now she's gone where did she go? i'll never know she's gone, she's gone they're birthed in mud these leather snakes will harness you forever and make you better let's figure it out but honestly, does any of this matter? some disaster hell i'd rather try laughter

love 04:18
i would never hurt you unless you really want me to i think that it'd be wrong but I know that I'm right for you i do the same things you do i even do your voice at night is this love? i think I'm in love for a second there I, fell over if you go anywhere, I will follow I'm your number one fan, your my idol i'll never let you leave my sight your clothing fits me just right i think that we are gonna get a long real soon i don't ever want to fight baby just turn off the lights and pretend it never happened that sudden kiss this wedding ring just everything for a second there i, fell over if you go anywhere, i will follow im your number one fan, your my idol even if you're scared you should know my name now it's been almost 4 years since we have been a thing now you should take a chance on me i think it's kind of weird, when you don't speak to me for a second there I, fell over when you go anywhere, I will follow I'm your number one fan, your my idol

break 04:59
hold on, to your window dangle cautiously, the outside world can be quite scary i've been, stuck in limbo, for centuries these dreams are getting so much harder to believe it's in your mind, that everything's alright well, now it's time why didnt i ever come home that night? why didnt i ever come home that night? why didnt i ever come home that night? i'm not good at love but i can find someone whose good enough it's in your mind, that everything's alright well, now it's time why didnt i ever come home that night? all this time spent racing, lately, i cant find the end
