room #2 02:25
you wrote a sound and printed on skin the words made flesh let you sink in your thoughts your hopes allison we never were the bad nights they make me who i am

braces 06:40
i walked outside today and on the way i watched two cardinals stand on telephone wires. intertwined, they left behind their home just to meet me alone in the road and asked me: "are you struggling to breathe?" hang me by the wrist, devour a crucifix we go to school and we suffer we go to bed and we wither its too late to wither just embrace i can regrow, i will dig a hole to plant the seed again. now i retreat back inside the house the things i create will all die now. we go to school and we suffer we go to school and we are another. we go to bed and we wither we go to bed above the covers we don't embrace. just like lovers we don't embrace. oh i'm cold so sick motionless take me down from the high i felt oh its not so hard i can't breathe take me down from the high i lost

blossom 03:53
i saw the ocean underneath my feet my eyes fell heavy as i went to sleep your breath was hot on my wounds on my world i got lost in your song and went blind for you, blossom i thought the world would be kind to me (i guess not) i'm not as together as i should be with flowers in your hair, we run away your breath was heavy on my wounds on my shoulders i got lost in your song and went blind for you, blossom i knew the world would be cruel to me

first song 3 04:15
everyone is dull but we're so fucking mean i wrote you a note and covered it in blood when i was back at school stay up for weeks now i'm twenty two still can't sleep you know where i go when i'm home alone. glass house black lights in time i'll be all right no i won't be all right when i was back with you held your hand for weeks then my heart came to i do what my mind wants me to do
5.
i promised i would stop medicating when i grew too worn out barely sleeping at all but when i do its of folded pieces of paper barely sleeping at all but when i dream its of folded pieces of paper i can't see the beginning anymore the spring is in your fear i can't see the beginning anymore because i've grown too worn out. barely sleeping at all but when i do its of folded pieces of paper barely sleeping at all but when i dream its of folded pieces of paper igniting

i awoke in some midwest home and i killed my best friend just to breathe the air again but now he’s all i see. i tied up and tortured my heart so i could let it see me for what i will always be but now i'm all they'll see. i live alone but i'm never alone left a trail leading to the front porch of that midwest home and you pull back the curtains and reveal me at the window are you scared of how i look? do i look like someone you knew? someone who couldn't give a fuck about how things are or how they were or how many times drinks you've had tonight i am nothing but a knife. i am nothing but a knife that works its way into your heart i am nothing but a night alone and your mom won't answer the phone i am nothing but a knife that twists its way into your bones i am nothing but a night alone.
7.
a christian dying in my arms what do i tell him when he shuts his eyes we crawl out just to be pulled back in pulled back pull back that camera i ache up this street where our blood meets you took out your eyes although, you still watch me lift the veil the blackest eyes the devils eyes
8.
we are not lost souls. we are nothing but footsteps on the floor. i'll cross my fingers and fall backwards every movement causes reactions i feel nothing still i wish i could sleep till i die alone i wish no one else was home i'm high on regret in fact i'm overrun by it i'm breathless when i sleep i'm lifeless in our dreams we are not lost souls! we will forget our names. i drag my limbs through these rooms. we don't feel, we don't feel at all. i wish no one else was home let me sleep till i die alone i'm high on regret in fact i'm overrun by it i'm killing my body for dreams i'm killing my body for sleep you're near the canvas we can't really be there such a shallow ending no closure for us
9.
stretch out those walls we're behind them all and i whisper to you: "hey, are you there? are you there?" fade, it'll never fade a portrait burns cold i don't have a hand to hold but you say: "no we are not alone. are you alone?" i swear to all that i believe in. death, you'll save me from this storm. i can't stop torturing myself. because i don't know what else to do i don't know if i can make it. i swear to all that i believe in. devil, will you drown me in this soul? i can't stop torturing myself. if i'm gone you'll never know.
10.
fuck 03:15
do you think it matters to me because i don't feel that much i mean yeah i felt for you but hey i'm used to sleeping alone its fine its whatever its cool we're whatever fuck it its whatever fuck it its whatever did this mean nothing to you because i kinda read your face i mean yeah i felt for you but hey i'm used to being alone its fine its whatever its cool we're whatever fuck it its whatever fuck it its whatever you think you broke my heart but i don't give a fuck its fine its whatever

alpha death 04:32
they say we fly when we die but i don't believe it. not even one bit. they say in space no one can hear you sing but i don't believe it. not even one bit. you went to the moon for me and i don't believe it. not even one bit. you let yourself disconnect from the ship and you fell into space. i don't believe it. i saw your ghost in the static of my tv and you believe you still believed that you were alive but we're our own fiction you spread starless skies where do you and i combine? i'm always in the mold (the machinery takes hold) every gear that doesn't turn (will lay me to waste) last night i was alone (the machinery takes hold) and you spoke to me (so shrill, so hushed) Kimberly, do you hear me?
12.
skincrawl 03:29
outside of my mothers house with the rain on my feet i know i'm empty and at peace inside of no ones body with the flesh on my hair i am hopeful and hollow all at once you slowly make your way to me crawling in a stoned dream and we never speak we only sing i miss you i miss you and i wanna come home but he's taken my place.
13.
first song 4 04:30
why do you have to go home? and it was something beautiful but now its under my lungs my tongue kisses teeth my tongue tastes bleach and i was crawling in shit and loving all of this but i'm nobody without my flaws i was nobody at all why do you have to go home? if i push the knife into my chest will the blade retract or seep into my cells i welcome death like smoke into my soul the thought of you helps me sleep at night the thought of death helps me rest my eyes who are we you are home oh why do you have to go? and you talk like how you do when you're on the phone so i covered my bones in dirt and sugar to keep ourselves at home
14.
i get so cold. even when it is warm. i thought i hurt you. but its you who hurt yourself. and i know i'm fucking doomed. there is nothing. go find that person that you wanted me to be. go trap that person and never set them free. and i walk through the house and i tear at my skin to remind me that i am alive. but i don't feel alive. but you do. i know you do.
