Epilogue
Stuck in an over-truss
Start!
Caught in a moment’s rut
Locked alone
Stalked the phone
Landlocked the throne
Talked and cloned
So much I’d like to see
So much I’d like to do
So much I’d like to see
So much I’d like to do
Come!
Heed not the overtone
Spark!
Take up another home
Tossed and thrown
Shocked and grown
Detoxed the drone
Talked, atoned
So much I’d like to see
So much I’d like to do
So much I’d like to see
So much I’d like to do
You’ve got a body like it’s nicotine
Silver tongue moving
Baby come lick me clean
I’m smoking like a gun
Lit my wick with kerosene
So
You got the dopamine to blow my mind
Wisps in your hair
Clouding up the air
You’re mine
Every drag you take is making me my own cloud nine
You gotta know
You’ve got a mind like it’s on morphine
Wrapped up tight inside my mind
Ray come kiss me please
Look at what we’ve done
Oh we’re such a tease
So close
One more puff, I’m gonna blow
Lighting, igniting, and biting
I’ll burn and I’ll burn like a Marlboro
Oh, won’t you come around
Show me what you’ve got
And live out our dreams
Let’s grow into something
Let’s grow into something
That we want to be
With colors so bright
I’ll take on the night
Throughout our endeavor
Forever and ever
I know it’s so right
I think I fell in love with you
And while it may last
I know that it’s real
I’m searching for something
I’m searching for something
To show how I feel
I’ll give you my hand
If that’s what you need
I’ll give you whatever
I’ll give you whatever
Will make you believe
I think I fell in love with you
We’re starting to rust
Full of lust and distrust
And now we’re ashes and dust
A big fuss
Can barely adjust
A festering pus
Now we’re left in disgust
‘Cause it’s a must
To let us encrust
To stifle the thrust
Of the burden on us
Call us over-trussed
We’ll follow the gust
I’m watching all the names
Turning on us
We’ll be good
We’ll be alright
Seeing how we fell in to this strained delight
We’ll be good
We’ll be just fine
Even though we’re staring at our own headlights
We’ll be good
We’ll be alright
Only ‘cause tomorrow has my heart in time
We’ll be good
We’ll be just fine
From now on I’ll leave it to the lonely night
From across the room
You’re looking so fine
New concubine
I want you tonight
Don’t want to take too long
But if it feels so wrong
I’ll go back to you
Trying to redo
What I do
So if I told you to stay
Would you tell me the same?
I’m holding on baby
And I’m not the one you’re taking home
Not a sound
When you’re around
I know that you’ve won
I’m on the run
And stuck in the mud
Don’t want to make the call
‘Cause if I lose it all
I’ll go back to her
Driving through my blur
Like I do
So if I told you to stay
Would you tell me the same?
I’m missing you baby
And I’m not the one you’re taking home
So if I told you to stay
Would you tell me the same?
I’m missing you baby
And I’m not the one you’re taking home
Give me a sign
If you are mine
I’m missing you baby
And I’m not the one you’re taking home
I know how I feel
I’m searching for something
I’m searching for something
To show that it’s real
I’ll give you my hand
If that’s what I need
I’ll give you whatever
I’ll give you whatever
Will make me believe
I think I fell in love with you
To get myself away from you
Delete the feelings I can’t undo
Don’t say that you don’t want me to
Woah
And still I can’t go back in time
Time to go erase you from my mind
But even now I know I can’t get over you
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
I know you’re trying
To keep me at a distance from you
Forget the feelings you didn’t do
Don’t act like this is out of the blue
Woah
I know I can’t stay back in time
Time enough to paint you in my mind
But even now I know I can’t get over you
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
And now
You’re here
It’s been so long, I know
The sound
Your sound
And still I can’t go back in time
Time to go erase you from my mind
But even now I know I can’t get over you
I know I can’t stay back in time
Time enough to paint you in my mind
But even now I know I can’t get over you
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
Just leave it by the door
There’s no one walking home from this
How long
Can I live with myself running
From everything I’ve wanted to be?
And I thought
Why am I the one to blame for all my sins and salvations?
Why can’t I be free?
Is there no one coming for me?
Cover up the scars and diamonds
Put a bullet through my head
And wipe the features from my pretty face
‘Cause I thought that it was over
That I’d be freed of closure
And I thought that maybe I could make the change
It’s the sound of me
All I know is I’m not through
The view is ever-creeping to renew
The faith in myself living for today
And I’ll try
I Think I Fell in Love with You
And live out our dreams
Let’s grow into something
Let’s grow into something
That we want to be
With colors so bright
I’ll take on the night
Throughout our endeavor
Forever and ever
I know it’s so right
I think I fell in love with you
And while it may last
I know that it’s real
I’m searching for something
I’m searching for something
To show how I feel
I’ll give you my hand
If that’s what you need
I’ll give you whatever
I’ll give you whatever
Will make you believe
I think I fell in love with you
Scars and Diamonds
Just leave it by the door
There’s no one walking home from this
How long

From everything I’ve wanted to be?
And I thought
Why am I the one to blame for all my sins and salvations?
Why can’t I be free?

Put a bullet through my head
And wipe the features from my pretty face
‘Cause I thought that it was over
That I’d be freed of closure

What Am I Supposed to Do?
To get myself away from you
Delete the feelings I can’t undo
Don’t say that you don’t want me to
Woah

I know I can’t stay back in time
Time enough to paint you in my mind
But even now I know I can’t get over you
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
Waves
A feeling and a sound when it comes to me,
A net to catch my breath as I puffed it out.
Harder than better, hotter than ever before.
I couldn’t find the words to define myself.
I took up all the sparks and I fleshed them out.
Caught up in life,
Caught up in the moment’s write.
I’m living in a pursuit
But in a second I had it all
For a second I was in control
Biscayne
Another broken verse written to my name.
A cannon in an aura as I painted it out.
A hungover letter, hotter than ever before.
I grew up in a box to define myself.
I looked up at the stars and I cussed them out.
Caught up in life
Caught up in my moment’s write.
I’m living in a pursuit
But in a second I had it all
For a second I was in control
I’m living in a pursuit
But in a second I had it all
Caught up in life
Caught up in the moment’s write
Waiting to grow
He told me, “Fall in love again
And maybe this time we’ll be friends
You never know.”
I didn’t know where to run
So I started a fight
And after everything we’ve been through
I just thought that I should tell you
You were right
I found a love in a photograph
Waiting for me
I asked her, “Why did you escape?
You would have won
You were the one
You were home free.”
A couple years
In arrears
And a gold nose ring
And then I finally understood
What she was saying when she told
Me everything
Don’t let panic memories drag you down
Blurry faces stand out in the crowd
Love eccentric artists and their sound
Maybe this time I’ll get off the ground
I had to change myself
Fed up with past remains
That’s when I looked around and shouted ’cause I’d figured out a second was enough to make me realize it’s always how I feel.
Side by side
You’re fuming
In this suicide
From just another phase
From worlds apart it set my world ablaze
A notion out of place
The stranger’s passed
I’m burning me erased
Oh, holy Hell
I may never learn
My soul’s on fire
But I let it burn
‘Cause I’m falling for you
Yeah I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
I never looked you in the eyes
I’m falling for you
I know it’s no surprise
I could have stopped when it was over
I could have stopped, I had the chance.
But I’m falling for you
With blood on my hands
Through a plane beneath my mind
I was looking
I was searching for the light
And I know, and I know, and I know
I’m not alright
And I know, and I know, and I know
These thoughts of mine
Another day
I’m a stranger to myself
Can barely say
How long it’s been since I have felt
And I know, and I know, and I know
It’s all alright
But I know, and I know, and I know
It’s hard to fight
This poison’s killing me
Your mind will set you free
And of all these things I’ve done…
I see you there
But I’m terrified of apathy
Instead of talking
I’m silenced by the tension in my skin
And every other boy that you meet
‘Cause I know at times it’s déjà vu
The things I do
But I love you
I swear it’s true
Off and on
I’m craving some peace of mind
I need you in my life
Just give me something, girl
I’m begging for your love
Intoxicate me
Intoxicate me
Just give me some loving, girl
Just make it all good, make it all good, make it all good, make it all good, make it all good for me
Oh yeah
Just make it all good, make it all good, make it all good, make it all good, make it all good for me
That’s right
You couldn’t do without
You shot my insides out
With your eloquent words
Co-op
You popped the nonstop prop
You flopped the coffee shop
In a delicate burn
But I’m creating captivating
Moods and music when I’m playing
All this shading’s masquerading
Who’s the one who’s nauseating
Grow up
Don’t you see it now?
It’s self-fulfilling
You’re over the line
And wasting my time
I’ll keep you in mind
Singing
I thought
Your shot was overwrought
You tried at my soft spot
But the ricochet hurts
It’s my crown
I’m never backing down
You’ll never drag me down
Cause I’m taking off
I’m debating venerating
All this hating circulating
This deprecating’s motivating
In a way it’s liberating
Breathe in
Before I take your breath away
And let the music move you
Know it’s in my DNA
I’m still a pristine machine
But oh you think I’m overrated
A megalo-teen
Just chasing the dream
Oh
Yeah I’m not gonna stop
Cause I got it in view
And when I make it on top
I’ll be thinking of you
I’m wearing thin
Since that thunder
Did me in
I’ve been looking
For a sound
Just to know
That you’re around
Hey
You’re maturing blurred
Just existing
In these words
I’ve been searching
For a time
Just to tell you
That I’m fine
What’s the use?
Are you in too deep?
You put a blanket over work
Kill yourself
And run
Tell me something
How it feels to remain asleep
Take a sip
Close your eyes
Don’t forget your fun
I’m growing up
The only stick in the tree
While the lipstick limousine dreams
They’re getting faded
I’m throwing up
Only seed to crack down
I’ve had the same dreams
Tripping in the bathroom
And now you see it when you close your eyes
A better life but it’s no surprise
You chose a course
Had remorse
Now you’ve filed for divorce
The only enemy is your disguise
Come down
You got your back room strips
And your acid trips
And it’s getting kinda old
For me
And you
Slow down
You got your bounced back checks
And your homemade sex tapes
And palm trees galore
I’ll be in the basement
Tripping over words and
Making bad love songs
Talking about how it keeps the guards away
Tell me something
What if good could escape the heat?
Put a blanket on my song
Kill the fear
And run
Tell me something
Could I follow you in grave deceit?
Take a rest
Shut the door
Pray I’ll have some fun
I’m going down
Only sticks in my tree
While the blacked out summertime dreams
They’re getting painted
I’m going down
All I need’s a pack now
I’ve had the same dreams
Tripping in the back room
And now I see it when I close my eyes
A better life yet it’s no surprise
I chose a course
Had remorse
Now there’s nothing to endorse
And all my enemies are in disguise
Chill out
You got your pills and your thoughts
Like they’re Captain M shots
And it’s looking like it’s falling apart
For you
Go out
You’re getting stuck in your box
Think you need a detox
Am I fitting in yet?
I’ll be in the kitchen
Going over words and
Making my love songs
Talking about how it keeps my mind away
Come down
You got your back room strips
And your acid trips
And it’s gettin’ kinda old
For me
And you
Slow down
You got your bounced back checks
And your homemade sex tapes
And palm trees galore
I’ll be in the basement
Tripping over words and
Making bad love songs
Talking about how it keeps the guards away
Panic & Blame EP
And said, “I belong with you
and I know this much is true.”
I never loved her more
Though we only met the day
When she couldn’t stay away
I said
She tied me to a chair
As she danced around my grave
She said only I could save her from this cold
Fingers through her hair
As she ran away with me
The way it used to be and she said
With all my broken records on the floor
And as I scraped the sky
I saw a sparkle in your eye
Something that I never knew before
Cupid’s got a heavy bag of arrows
And he’s firing them off two by two
And though I may be blind
I still look into your eyes
But I feel there’s nothing I can do
The fire started burning in the city
The smoke and ashes settled on the floor
My eyes are open wide
The pain in me has died
It’s something that I only knew before
All these people don’t know what they’re saying
I’ve gotta find my way back home to you
Love they say is blind
And I’m losing my mind
But I know there’s nothing I can do
I can’t stop thinking ’bout you
And I’ve been thinking baby
I love how you do what you do
And I’m looking to the stars ’cause it’s something to save me
Keep taking your drug ’cause it’s something to feel
Staying out late ’cause I want you to love me
I’m tryna keep my head ’cause I’m falling for you
It’s poison and I feel like it could take me away
You’re poison but I’m loving it in every way
Baby
I can’t stop talking about you
And I’ve been saying baby
I love the way that you put me through
And your poison’s too strong cause it’s starting to kill me
They’re taking me away cause I’m starting to feel
I’m staying up late cause you’re starting to love me
I’m trying to find the words cause I’m falling for you
It’s poison and I feel like it could take me away
You’re poison but I’m loving it in every way
The sound of her voice
She paved the way for me
Made almost every single choice
I let her win, she let me lose
We all start over
But is everything alright?
I hang up the phone.
Please come back to me
I know I let you go
What have we become?
It’s like we’re animals
Please come back
I swear I’ll never let you go
I am lost without you
Will I ever know?
Please come back to me
A darkness fills the twilight
Watching you all day
Out of the corner of my eye
To make sure everything’s okay
Can’t you agree
That we will see
All of us eventually?
I’m laying it on the line
It’s never felt so right
She hangs up the phone ‘cause I said
Please come back to me
I know I let you go
What have we become?
It’s like we’re animals
Please come back
I swear I’ll never let you go
I am lost without you
Will I ever know?
Please come back to me
Have you ever seen a man that’s like you?
Running all around, telling all about you
Never thought you’d ever see the world around you
I’m breaking down
You’re breaking down
Somewhere in the world there’s a man that’s like you
Find him and you’ll know that he’s there without you
Someone close your eyes, I’m staring at you
I’m breaking down
Please come back to me
I know I let you go
What have we become?
But I said
Please come back to me
I know I let you go
What have we become?
It’s like we’re animals
Please come back
I swear I’ll never let you go
I am lost without you
Will I ever know?
Please come back to me
Come a little closer
Why don’t you come closer?
Whisper in my ear
Won’t you come closer?
Come a little closer
Why don’t you come closer?
Whisper in my ear
