Hypocrite 03:03
Remember the first part? The fumble and the dark Maybe I should've known Maybe I should've let you go. You've got me feeling like a hypocrite And I get the feeling that you won't quit now My clenched fists and your slow heart I know you know we took it too far. You are a silhouette Of when you told me "god, I waited for this" Wrote your message on my pale skin I guess we've been sinking since. I woke up in a sweat, I woke up in a halestorm I woke up in your bed from a vile hallucination. I woke up in a sweat, I woke up in a halestorm I woke up in your bed to a violent realisation I guess I should've let you go.

Dumb Luck 03:18
I always move To where there's more of me, and less of you. There's less of you. And I always sweat the little things Like salt and cinnamon, it tastes like you. It's just like you. I wish I'd get a clue I watch the backwards city turn to face you. Yeah, it turns to you. What am I doing? And where have I been? It feels like the better part of a year. On my way home, I see the skyline with the right shapes in it. I know I am a frightened rabbit But as my own dumb luck would have it You are the steady hand I need to feel. You are a sweet relief, from the lost and found And the muddy sound of everything else. And your skinny feet, they walk to me Yeah, they always walk to me. On my way home, I see the skyline with my friends in it. I know I am a frightened rabbit But as my own dumb luck would have it You are the steady hand I need to feel.
3.
I'm out of my body No, I'm out of my mind And you smell like clean washing It almost makes it feel alright That you're right next me And I can't feel the heat from you anymore. If I say that I'm sorry Would you change your mind? The sun glare in the laundry It melts me into something I don't like I'm still next to you Though I can't feel the heat from you anymore And you're right next to me But I just feel the cold of the tiled floor. If you change your mind I'll help you unpack the car again. If you change your mind We won't know who we are again.

Untitled 02:59
You breathe like a tide that's coming in And I swear I feel it in the swell Someone's going to leave soon But when I'm sleeping by myself Yeah, the feeling gets worse And then I'm just another sad kid With another sad curse And I can't forget about the way you had your lips pursed. You turn the world on its head And I'm just a spinning top At the whim of your left hand. But when I'm spinning out alone Yeah, the feeling is worse And then I'm just another sad kid With another sad curse And I can't forget about the way you were too shy to go first. A late lunch, what a good time To punch me when I'm down. And when I'm thinking to myself Yeah, the feeling gets worse And then I'm just another sad kid With another sad curse And I can't forget about the way you said it with your lips pursed. And I can't forget about the way you were too shy to go first And I can't forget about the way you said you felt trapped in these sheets It's funny, 'cause I always felt safe when I could find your feet.
5.
Sleeping like a log on a fire Wake up smaller, less than I was last night Are you less than you were last night? Fill me up with coffee and wine A little more pep for a long, long ride It's been a long ride. And I can't get to you, so what'll I do? Tell me I'm a drop in the sea Tell me I'm alone, tell me what you really mean. I've got to stop seeing what I want to see. I can keep my bleeding palms in my pockets I can keep my head down. Ah, just stop it now. But I can't stop myself And I can't get to you And I'm too damn empty to sink And I'm too tired to swim So what'll I do? I've got to stop seeing what I want to see.
