Remember Me Well
03:09

|

I am pessimistic, I can't help it
so please don't make this into something big
I'm not anticipating, I'm not trying to run
but if you break my heart, there's one thing I want
if you leave me sobbing in my bed
if you leave me to the rushing in my head
if we split the world in two; one half for me, and one for you
all I ask is that you remember me well
if I ever hurt you I'll make it right
I never plan for my words to bite
I want you to keep thinking I'm good
don't let me be the villain; not again, not with you
I mean everything I say, so believe this to be true
I can't become the villain; not again, not to you
so, if the ocean washes us apart
if the distance proves to be too far
if the best that we can do is kindly agree that it fell through
all I ask is that you remember me as good
never say that I did you wrong
never haunt me like a song
never be the reason I can't sleep in my bed
never sigh about me with your friends
never shake your head at the thoughts of me
never be so hurt by them that you can't breathe
never curse my name and pray I go to hell
all I ask is that you remember me well
if you leave me sobbing in my bed
if you leave me to the rushing in my head
if we split the world in two; one half for me, and one for you
all I ask is that you remember me well

Flight Log

|

you reach and reach and how do you feel?
how does infinity look to you?
when you reach and reach away from it all
is it worth leaving everything for the fall?
you always wanted to be remembered
but if you're alone then you can't leave an impact
so, is it worth it to become a feather
to float on the winds and land without pressure?
up there with no one but yourself around
no one but myself around
and if I could touch the stars, my dreams wouldn't seem so far
desperate as they are
just want one moment to be found
with no one but myself around
you walk and walk and you brave the rain
you know now that not everything can be saved
when you walk and you walk and you reach for the past
but all your memories ignore all the facts
you always wanted to be remembered
but if you're alone then you can't leave an impact
so, is it worth it to become a feather
to float on the winds and land without pressure?
up there with no one but yourself around
no one but myself around
and if I could touch the stars, my dreams wouldn't seem so far
desperate as they are
just want one moment to be found
with no one but myself around
when lightning strikes, does the image stay?
when the moon wanes, does its light remain?
you always wanted to be remembered
so, is it worth it to become a feather?
up there with no one but yourself around
no one but myself around
and if I could touch the stars, my dreams wouldn't seem so far
desperate as they are
just one moment to be found
with no one but myself around

The Last Heartbeat
04:17
|
|||
you left a piece of yourself on me
stuck in my hair like a burr
you walked out just a little bit lighter
while I scratch and scratch 'til it burns
it woke up something, something inside me
oh god if you knew how much I hate this part
the fear that the one time filled up your belly
and you don't care to wait and see what it starts
save me, I'm on my last heartbeat
one moment until I bleed out and die
agony, I hate myself for falling
but you made it so easy, can't I stay the night?
there's nothing worse than what my mind says
things both cruel and untrue (you'll never love me like I love you)
like you're playing with me, just for some laughs
and I want to believe that's not you (that's not you, that's not you)
'cause you woke up something, something inside me
oh god if you knew how much I hate this part
the fear that the one time filled up your belly
and you don't care to wait and see what it starts
(I care what it starts, I care way too much
save me from myself again, save me with your touch)
save me, I'm on my last heartbeat
one moment until I bleed out and die
agony, I hate myself for falling
but you made it so easy, can't I stay the night?
save me, I'm on my last heartbeat
one moment until I bleed out and die
agony, I hate myself for falling
but you made it so easy, can't I stay the night?

Overflow
03:03
|
|||
two perfect nights and two that were not
not perfect for you but I opened up
broke all my habits and chose to dare hope
but you chose your ceiling, so I had to go
I would've let my love overflow
I would've drowned myself in the undertow
I'm brimming with love that I can't let go
so I'll wash myself away now; I never make a show
last month was rough because of you
never any peace all because of you
my mind ended up being right about you
and I still don't hate you I just wish dreams came true
all I ever wanted was to be in your mind
a little piece of joy that you kept by your side
I would've kept your secrets and been the best of me
all I wanted was to be a priority
I would've let my love overflow
I would've drowned myself in the undertow
I'm brimming with love that I can't let go
so I'll wash myself away now; I never make a show
last month was rough because of you
never any peace all because of you
my mind ended up being right about you
and I still don't hate you I just wish dreams came true
last month was rough because of you
never any peace all because of you
my mind ended up being right about you
and I could never hate you I just wish you didn't exist

I Need to Be Less Angry
03:09
|
|

everybody needs to know that I could be better
everybody needs to know I want to be good
if I went out with a bang, it'd be such a pain
for everyone around me, so I try to stay sane
and it doesn't really work
truth kinda hurts
but I need to be less angry
I need to be less wild
I need to be palatable
everybody's favorite child
I need to be less sexual
and so much less insane
I have so many things to be
I get angry every day
I'm so angry every day
there's a price to pay inside my head for every good thing
I keep saying I'll be better, but it's a losing game
everybody needs to know that I want to be loved
everybody needs to know I hate who I've become
and it doesn't help at all
there's no stopping my fall
because I need to be less angry
I need to be less wild
I need to be palatable
everybody's favorite child
I need to be less sexual
and so much less insane
I have so many things to be
I get angry every day
would anyone stop my fall
would anybody want to at all
I don't think anyone cares I could be more
and I don't think anybody loves me anymore
so, I need to be less angry
I need to be less wild
I need to be palatable
everybody's favorite child
I need to be less sexual
and so much less insane
I have so many things to be
I get angry every day
I'm so angry every day
angry every day
I'm so angry every day

Gravity Assist
02:53
|

as above, so below
you'll never catch me down there alone
in the darkness of my mind
flesh never felt so cold
and I would never reach out if there was a chance
and you have no idea I'd do anything for your hand
8, 16, 24
and yet I'm always wanting more
5, 6, 7, 8
delicate chemical trickery
and you say that you would kiss me
but though I know you're just a tease
my mind is funny like a joke
so, it seems that
I'm going down, down
got me in my mind
got me feeling so wild
your gravity
has me swinging 'round again
crash landing with just one little smile
so, is it love? who gives a shit
you've got me buzzed and I love the feel of it
so, if you want me I'll be waiting for your touch
if you want me I don't care if it's love or not
there's still so much left to be said
but I know, in my soul, that you won't
'cause you can flirt with all the feelings that you read from me
but your words and your looks can't give me hope (look at me)
so, you gotta
slow down now, take a breath now
the stage is set, why don't you take a bow?
in and out, out, out, out, why aren't you counting down now?
8, 16, 24
and yet I'm always wanting more
5, 6, 7, 8
delicate chemical trickery
and you say that you would kiss me
but though I know you're just a tease
my mind is funny like a joke
so, it seems that
I'm going down, down
got me in my mind
got me feeling so wild
your gravity
has me swinging 'round again
crash landing with just one little smile
so, is it love? who gives a shit
you've got me buzzed and I love the feel of it
so, if you want me I'll be waiting for your touch
if you want me I don't care if it's love or not

Wish You Were the One
02:52
|
|||
I never really thought that you were the one
everything you told me made it clear enough
said you wanted kids, like I wasn't one
but I would've done a lot to keep your love
so handsome, like a dream
while you tell me to go back to sleep
didn't really want to indulge my qualms
but I knew that you were not the one
except other men don't look as good
don't talk as good as you
every other man doesn't feel the same
nobody compares to you, so
get out of my head
it's time to get out of my head
what the hell am I supposed to do?
where will I get my closure?
how can I stop wanting you?
this madness needs to be over
(I really wish you were the one)
I appreciate you saying that it's not my fault
not unlovable just not what you want
I'll take it, I have to, there's nothing I can do
but I only want love from you
you never felt real, like a model
like someone I should never get to handle
I still think about your saliva on my tongue
and your chest hair underneath my palms
which is why other men don't look as good
don't talk as good as you
every other man doesn't feel the same
nobody compares to you, so
get out of my head
it's time to get out of my head
what the hell am I supposed to do?
where will I get my closure?
how can I stop wanting you?
this madness needs to be over
(really wish you were the one
really wish you were the one
really, really, really wish you were the one
really wish you were the one
really wish you were the one
but no such luck, no such luck
really, really, really wish you were the one)
I never really thought that you were the one
knew it and I still fell headfirst into love
stupid little heart, always fucking up
but you listened, and that was enough
