Hanger 03:22
I bruise like a peach flushed out in the cheeks embarrassed to speak when all my words aim for the sweet spot red streaks on the flat of my chest caved in when i gave it my best i don't even wanna invest any time in myself so i'll pass on the torch When i see my reflection i don't see myself, just a ghostly projection that's screaming for help afraid of rejection and left on the shelf, collecting dust I had an existential nightmare where i met my doppelganger i told him you can have life now and then he left my body on a hanger just leave my body on a hanger just leave my body on a hanger I don't wanna find out that i'm better off dead that the words i wrote are never gonna be read i guess i'll fade into the claustrophobic, paranoid part of my head cold feet at the end of my bed kiss me on the top of my head feed me all the bullshit you fed to the world when they asked if you know who you are when i see my reflection i don't see myself, just a ghostly reflection that's screaming for help afraid of rejection and left on the shelf, collecting dust I had an existential nightmare where i met my doppelganger i told him you can have life now and then he left my body on a hanger just leave my body on a hanger just leave my body on a hanger (x2)

('cause i'm still alive)

Upset 02:26
Quick question, why did you question All of my motives? I promise that they were sincere. Don't mention My lack of retention Of details and reasons for why I'm upset, and I don't know why I regret leaving you tonight But don't sweat I just need to walk it off I'll be home before you wake up I'm upset. Wish that I could come to my senses How can I carry on defenseless? Who would I be if I gave in? Wish that I could come to my senses How can I carry on defenseless? Who would I be if I gave in? I'm upset, and I don't know why I regret leaving you tonight But don't sweat I just need to walk it off I'll be home before you wake up I'm upset.

Afterglow 02:52
Gave up on being in control burnt out, will you be my afterglow? I venture out into the cold give me your warmth before i go On an empty road drive through the snow under cover of night on my own streetlights adding weight onto my heavy eyes fade into sleep from the halogen lights Gave up on being in control burnt out, will you be my afterglow? I venture out into the cold give me your warmth before i go Will you be my afterglow? will you be my afterglow? Will you be my afterglow? will you be my afterglow? Gave up on being in control burnt out, will you be my afterglow? I venture out into the cold give me your warmth before i go Gave up on being in control (afterglow) burnt out, will you be my afterglow? (afterglow) I venture out into the cold (afterglow) give me your warmth before i go (afterglow) Will you be my afterglow? will you be my afterglow

Spinning 02:52
I'm so dizzy Seeing spots inside my head So damn lazy With your head down on my chest I dont really give a fuck if i don't go out Maybe im a little taken back by the cold Seven days down and im back on my bullshit I see the vultures circling Am I worthy of love? Am I worthy of love? I keep questioning myself Am I worthy of love? Am I worthy of love? Am I worthy of love? I keep questioning myself Am I worthy? Leave me on my own I'm coming up empty I'm coming up empty Tried to let you go But who am I kidding You left me spinning Yeah I know you're listening to all my shit You're probably listening to this right now In your car or in your bed With the iphone earbuds on I want to let you know I'm not doing well I feel like I'm so fucking lost And I'm afraid that I might lose I feel the vultures might start picking Am I worthy of love? Am I worthy of love? I keep questioning myself Am I worthy of love? Am I worthy of love? Am I worthy of love? I keep questioning myself Am I worthy? Leave me on my own Leave me on my own I'm coming up empty I'm coming up empty Tried to let you go But who am I kidding You left me spinning Leave me on my own I'm coming up empty I'm coming up empty

Serendipity 02:17
It's midnight, and i'm the only soul on this road halogen streetlight flow i'm a million miles from home (dawn, dawn, dawn) dawnlight, painting the skyline blue serendipity how did the time slip through my fingers? how did the time slip through my fingers? thought i kept track, thought it could linger taking it back to minimal emotion i've been on my own from ocean to ocean fight this fear of impending failure choke back tears at cathartic silence fucked up times, fail fast, rock bottom pick yourself back up again i see my breath from the chill in the air slow motion the snow falls i can't help but stare mesmerized by something gentle and calm watch as the time melts away in my palm. It's midnight, and i'm the only soul on this road halogen streetlight flow i'm a million miles from home (dawn, dawn, dawn) dawnlight, painting the skyline blue serendipity how did the time slip through my fingers?
