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)

if all i ever was was tallies on the bedroom floor i
would never see the day that i could see my family happy
that I'm still alive, 'cause i'm still alive.
and i may not appreciate that i am every single day
but, i gotta admit i hate the idea that i'll never be okay
[*ghstgrl]
yeah, i really thought i would be stronger
yeah, but i can't wait here any longer
yeah, i just want that safe place
nevermind, save face, yeah
if all i ever was was tallies on the bedroom floor i
would never see the day that i'd be happy that i'm still alive
i'm still alive, i'm still alive
[*Trent Hollingsworth]
i swear to god i see the devil in my eyes
i breathe air into my lungs
i scream
bloody murder*
i swear to god i see the devil in my eyes
i breath air into my lungs
i scream
bloody murder
if all i ever was was tallies on the bedroom floor i
would never see the day that i could see my family happy
if all i ever was was tallies on the bedroom floor i
would never see the day that i'd be happy that i'm still alive
i'm still alive, i'm still alive
i'm glad i went back and scratched out those marks in the bedroom floor. ('cause i'm still alive)

save me from myself, corrosive mental health
please don't let me burn these bridges that i built to isolate
there's not much i have left to fight against the hands that wanna choke me out
Save me from myself, corrosive mental health
please don't let me burn these bridges that i built to isolate
there's not much i have left to fight against the hands that wanna choke me out
you don't even switch these sides
you don't even wanna peep these eyes
i don't wanna be the one to hide in the loneliest place in the back of my mind
you don't even wanna beat these odds
i don't need a fucking wish from god
i just wanna be alone right now, but i don't wanna be on my own at the same time
...
*Trent Hollingsworth*
Cause i can't sleep alone now, no
but i'm always on my own now, no
i can feel it shake my bones now, yeah, yeah
cause i'll always say that i'm okay
even though i know i'm just a fake
take a deep breath, calm down, get my head straight, yeah, i don't want a breakdown
**
Maybe i question myself too much
always looking for answers when i don't even need them (oh)
i've been so out of control, i don't even know what day it is
most days
Save me from myself, corrosive mental health
please don't let me burn these bridges that i built to isolate
there's not much i have left to fight against the hands that wanna choke me out
Save me from myself, corrosive mental health
please don't let me burn these bridges that i built to isolate
there's not much i have left to fight against the hands that wanna choke me out
you don't even switch these sides
you don't even wanna peep these eyes
i don't wanna be the one to hide in the loneliest place in the back of my mind
you don't even wanna beat these odds
i don't need a fucking wish from god
i just wanna be alone right now, but i don't wanna be on my own at the same time.

Upset

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

Goddamn

goddamn, goddamn (you're always on my mind)
goddamn, goddamn (you're my one of a kind)
goddamn, goddamn (you save me from myself)
goddamn, goddamn
goddamn you're a higher power
bathe in your light like a winter flower
pick up my pedals and help me recover
you are my photosynthesis
goddamn you're a deity
they speak to you when they pray for me
your shape has me on my knees
i think the devil might pray on me
the darker hue always seems to happen
i feels so blue like i'm dr.manhattan
wanna escape to another planet
i'm done with this shit down here, goddamnit
pull me away from the moment
show me a way to appreciate
the things that i love that i've grown to hate
the things that i love that i've grown to hate
goddamn, goddamn (you're always on my mind)
goddamn, goddamn (you're my one of a kind)
goddamn, goddamn (you save me from myself)
goddamn, goddamn

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?
