Eclipse 04:20
You were celestial, my ocean tide And I was a crystal ball, full of your light And you were so calm and collected that night When I walked home alone and left my love for you behind I was the sun, you were the moon When you passed in front of me Shutting me out, back of the room Cause all we do is disagree You cover me, you cover me You were a guiding star, my Polaris But you led me way too far, you pulled me in And I know I'm nothing to you now A flash behind your eyes that's just so easy to block out I was the sun, you were the moon When you passed in front of me Shutting me out, back of the room Cause all we do is disagree You cover me, you cover me You never touched me like you meant it Always just out of my reach All that time I thought we were heaven I thought we were heaven and you let me believe I thought we were heaven (you took everything back) I thought we were heaven (with interest) I thought we were heaven (I'm missing parts of me) I thought we were heaven (that weren't yours to begin with) I was the sun, you were the moon When you passed in front of me Shutting me out, back of the room Cause all we do is disagree You cover me, you cover me I was the sun, you were the moon When you passed in front of me Putting me down, second to you A whole new catastrophe You cover me, you cover me

I got caught up in your orbit Drawn toward you through the crowd And I will not try to fight it Let's go somewhere else this whole place is kinda loud Oh, how can I escape this feeling? We're kissing under stars on the ceiling Stars on the ceiling We're kissing under stars on the ceiling Oh, how can I escape this feeling? We're kissing under stars on the ceiling Stars on the ceiling We're kissing under stars on the ceiling I am ultraviolet, autopilot Hands all over you And I kinda like it knowing I got Nothing else to do Oh, how can I escape this feeling? We're kissing under stars on the ceiling Stars on the ceiling Kissing under stars on the ceiling And we'll be hanging on Mars Chillin on Venus Sitting on Neptune Kissing under stars on the ceiling Join me with the planets Find me on the moon We'll be dipping our toes into the rings of Saturn soon Oh, how can I escape this feeling? We're kissing under stars on the ceiling Stars on the ceiling We're kissing under stars on the ceiling Oh, how can I escape this feeling? We're kissing under stars on the ceiling Stars on the ceiling We're kissing under stars on the ceiling And we'll be hanging on Mars Chilling on Venus Sitting on Neptune Kissing under stars on the ceiling And we'll be hanging on Mars Chilling on Venus Sitting on Neptune Kissing under stars on the ceiling

Heavy 03:00
A single shiver through my whole body And the quickening pace of my cold heartbeat I still can't figure out just quite why I feel so heavy So heavy When silence seems to be the only way That I can even begin to think straight And I still don't know the reason why I feel so heavy So heavy I'm heavy, not trying to weigh you down But all of me is breaking breaking I am heavy, I am heavy Open fire without a warning Cause I've been holding every small thing in And I wonder how I don't know why I feel so heavy So heavy I'm heavy, not trying to weigh you down But all of me is breaking breaking I am heavy, I am heavy So heavy for something so empty I don't need you keeping me steady I'll take half as much as you let me You're not who I'm trying to be I'm heavy, words I cannot say aloud And all of me is breaking breaking down I'm heavy, I am heavy I'm heavy, not trying to weigh you down But all of me is breaking breaking I am heavy, I am heavy

Giving 03:37
You say just wait it's a mess of a day But I'm giving up on you, I, I'm giving up on you And you tell me this is temporary But I'm giving up on you I, I'm giving up on you I don’t think I ask for too much But what you’re giving me is just not enough For me to love you so if you’ve given up Then could you act like it, act like it? You say just wait it's a mess of a day But I'm giving up on you, I, I'm giving up on you And you tell me this is temporary But I'm giving up on you I, I'm giving up on you You tell me not to worry that you’re always leaving me on seen But I can’t help but think it’s because you’re not really into me You don’t answer my calls you never have the time So you tell me to hold on and keep me on the line And I’ve been trying to keep all that we have alive And you can’t tell me that you’re sorry this time You say just wait it's a mess of a day But I'm giving up on you, I, I'm giving up on you And you tell me this is temporary But I'm giving up on you I, I'm giving up on you You tell me not to worry that you’re always leaving me on seen But I can’t help but think it’s because you’re not really into me Maybe I'm just needy but I'll say it if you won't I want you to love me I've been feeling like you don't All you gotta do is say you wanna be alone But don't let me keep calling if you won't pick up the phone I'm giving up on you I'm giving up on you You say just wait it's a mess of a day But I'm giving up on you, I, I'm giving up on you And you tell me this is temporary But I'm giving up on you I, I'm giving up on you You tell me not to worry that you’re always leaving me on seen But I can’t help but think it’s because you’re not really into me I've heard this line, too many times And I'm giving up on you I, I'm giving up on you

Hot Water 03:43
Counting back from ten, I try to slow my breath again Sinking further down, than arms extend Leave a mark so blue, in your distinctive shape Something I could never wash away I know I am worth the things that I give up So I am done asking for love Cause I don't want to rely on hot water to keep me alive I know we won't always have what we need to survive You've been here longer And you should've known Now more than ever that I deserve better Than cold and shallow Did I leave the faucet on, is that why you're so cold? Acting like the only one feeling low You did not deserve, the things that I gave up And I am done asking for love And I'm so tired of drowning just to breathe I keep my head beneath the surface hoping that you'll remind me Why I jumped in to begin with cause the water's draining now You don't help me when my oxygen is running out And I don't want to rely on hot water to keep me alive I know we won't always have what we need to survive You've been here longer than me So you should've known Now more than ever that I deserve better Than cold and shallow

I Won't Ask 03:32
Slow down Breathe in, breathe out And pray that I never see you around And I can tell that you're not holding me above You say I'm easier, easier to love I know you tell your friends what you're thinking of Just let me go and we'll be better off And I won't ask for more, won't ask for more Than you've given And I won't ask for more, won't ask for more Cause I know you wouldn't listen I say I feel like you don't want me And you act like you're in love Until I'm happy But I, I can tell that you're not holding me above You say I'm easier, easier to love I know you tell your friends what you're thinking of Just let me go and we'll be better off And I won't ask for more, won't ask for more Than you've given I won't ask for more, won't ask for more Cause I know you wouldn't listen

Ghost 04:49
I met a girl in August, I was still with you She made my heart flutter, but I didn't need to wonder What people like that could do Knew I was happy living by the rules But you know me, I'm so intrigued By the thought of something new And I thought I was strong enough Thought nothing's gonna break together I had no plans to ever take apart forever But now I'm a ghost that nobody knows Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned You're passing right through me, I'm losing control I'm trying to tell myself it's better to let go I'm just a ghost, I'm just a ghost I met a boy just like you, but a little less kind Thought he knew everything there was to know But he thought that he was mine Met another one and realized I was looking for you in every line I just couldn't find you in their eyes And I thought I was strong enough Thought nothing's gonna break together I had no plans to ever take apart forever But now I'm a ghost that nobody knows Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned You're passing right through me, I'm losing control I'm trying to tell myself, It's better to let go No one ever has to know I'm a little troubled but I'm not alone Take my hand before you go Touch my cheek and tell me when you'll be home My ghost But now I'm a ghost that nobody knows Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned I'm just a shadow, smaller than my bones I'd ask if you love me but I can't handle a "no" I'm just a ghost that nobody knows Floating from lover to lover cause I can't be owned I'm just a shadow, smaller than my bones You leave when I answer, but you're still made of gold I'm just a ghost, I'm just a ghost I'm just a ghost, I'm just a ghost I'm just a ghost

Mercury 04:52
You reach out, I pull away I know I told you I was here to stay Backwards and moving fast And here I thought that we were gonna last I started sleeping with a light on Cause you feel like him in the dark I hear you whispering it's over but I've still been marked I can't touch you anymore It's not the same, it's not the same I can't touch you anymore There's still mercury in my veins, my veins Mercury, it's breaking me Mercury, it's breaking me You're out there, I feel you now Keeping you farther than my arms can reach out The cold air and flashbacks How could I know that I was the attack? I started sleeping with a light on Cause you feel like him in the dark I hear you whispering it's over but I've still been marked I can't touch you anymore It's not the same, it's not the same I can't touch you anymore There's still mercury in my veins, my veins Mercury, it's breaking me Mercury, it's breaking me And the ground is so much softer down here But the vines are growing over me If I lay down I know I'll disappear And my sorrows with me I started sleeping with a light on Cause you feel like him in the dark I hear you whispering it's over but I've still been marked I can't touch you anymore It's not the same, it's not the same I can't touch you anymore There's still mercury in my veins, my veins Mercury, it's breaking me Mercury, it's breaking me

Creepy 02:31
We said goodbye for a reason So tell me what you don't understand You hang out here like it's Eden And you act like you don't know who I am I don't go out cause you're all over In my coffee shop and my grocery store We're playing a game of who gets where first But I can't lay claim to what I didn't earn I'm asking you why you can't stick to your own land? Lately I can't breathe and whenever I reach for my throat there's your hand I sneak around these days Since you've taken over this house You're always in my way And it's getting kinda creepy now Creepy now It's getting kinda creepy now I won't wait for you to stray So I can leave my room I won't hide, you can criticize Every single move But it's getting kinda creepy now It's getting kinda creepy now

Inside Out 03:41
Do you think of me? Do you think of me? In your dark and empty space Not a thing could take my place Do you think of me? This ain't my first rodeo It's not as good as it gets I'll write you 100 letters that I'll never send Don't you act like I'm still your baby You were the one who said you didn't want me How dare you say you miss me now? You turned my heart inside out You turned my heart inside out You turned my heart inside out I have a habit of choosing people that I can't survive I'm going 90 in a 55 now, you Say you've been thinking got thoughts of me still in your head But you don't know if you feel it yet This ain't my first rodeo It's not as good as it gets I'll write you 100 letters that I'll never send Don't you act like I'm still your baby You were the one who said you didn't want me How dare you say you miss me now? You turned my heart inside out You turned my heart inside out You turned my heart inside out So I'll write you six apologies without ever saying I'm sorry Cause it doesn't look any better in gold And I thought I could convey enough To make you wanna stay in love with me But I get that's the way it goes This ain't my first rodeo It's not as good as it gets I'll write you 100 letters that I'll never send I'll turn your heart inside out I'll turn your heart inside out, oh Don't you act like I'm still your baby You were the one who said you didn't want me How dare you say you miss me now? You turned my heart inside out You turned my heart inside out You turned my heart inside out (Inside out, inside out) (Inside out) (Inside out, inside out, inside out) (Inside out) (Inside out) (Inside out)

No Sympathy 03:11
Something smelled like you, now I'm back in your room Trying to figure you out, by the way that you move I blocked your number, everyone you know My friends left me for you cause your mouth is filled with gold, so Watch me paint you black I've got no sympathy And I live for the attack No sympathy, no sympathy So you break me down, til there's nothing to get Jump at every sound, but I'd die if you left I blocked your number, everyone you know My friends left me for you cause your mouth is filled with gold, so Watch me paint you black I've got no sympathy And I live for the attack No sympathy, no sympathy No sympathy, no sympathy I think we'd be better strangers, if we never meet again I think we'd make better strangers, strangers than friends I think we'd be better strangers, let just never speak again I think we'd make better strangers than friends I blocked your number, everyone you know My friends left me for you cause your mouth is filled with gold, so Watch me paint you black I've got no sympathy And I live for the attack No sympathy, no sympathy No sympathy, no sympathy Something smelled like you, now I'm back in your room Trying not to fall right back into you

Knots 04:09
It's a long long rope, and I'm at the end Pulling and tugging, trying to move forward again You're pressing on my lungs, and I'm taking the blame For hurting myself in the most unconventional ways And there are days I find it hard to stand But I am done saying I can't I will make new friends and you're gonna be missing I will take new pictures and make sure you're not in them And I'll get better cause I promised that I would You hurt me more than you should I'm a little off, I try to pretend Fake it until all, my thoughts come out normal again Scrubbing at my skin, trying to get clean I still feel you on me in ways that nobody can see And there are days I find it hard to stand But I am done saying I can't I will make new friends and you're gonna be missing I will take new pictures and make sure you're not in them And I'll get better cause I promised that I would You hurt me more than you should I'm in knots, tangled up I'd have fought til I spilled my guts I will take it easy Til nothing's pulling at me And I will make new friends and you're gonna be missing I will take new pictures and make sure you're not in them One day the thought of you won't make me sick to the core You won't hurt me anymore You won't hurt me anymore
