1. TRAP DOOR
Eyes, they see the light
Stare at the sun, till they go blind
You once were so, oh so, good
Made me think that I was
Enough, just like those
Words you got through
But it

Didn’t seem like it mattered
When you told me all those things, but they turned out backwards
Hold me up on a trap door, just to
Just watch me fall

But I fall right into view
Into someone new
And stronger
Took awhile to get up, now
Standing taller than the trap door that you’re pulling back now

Black-eyed and bruised, a few
Broken bones too
Now I’m
Staring blankly at the mirror
Looking taller than the trap door that you pulled from under

“Why” just comes to mind
Why do your stories seem designed
Did you enjoy the chaos
Like it gave you comfort
Like a game that’s made of
Scissors and knives
And it

Didn’t seem like it mattered
When you told me all these things but they turned out backwards
Hold me up on your trap door, just to
Just watch me fall

But I fall right into view
Into someone new
And stronger
Took awhile to get up, now
Standing taller than the trap door that you’re pulling back now

Black-eyed and bruised, a few
Broken bones too
Now I’m
Staring blankly at the mirror
Looking taller than the trap door that you pulled from under

Through the tears
I look up and I see you standing
There with a smile
From ear to ear
As you, just as you pull the lever down

Fall right into view
Into someone new
And stronger
Took awhile to get up, now
Standing taller than the trap door that you’re pulling back now

Black-eyed and bruised, a few
Broken bones too
Now I’m
Staring blankly at the mirror
Looking taller than the trap door that you pulled from under

Fall right into view
Into someone new
And stronger
Took awhile to get up, now
Standing taller than the trap door that you’re pulling back now

Black-eyed and bruised, a few
Broken bones too
Now I’m
Staring blankly at the mirror
Looking taller than the trap door that you pulled from under

2. HEAR ME
I have things I wish I could forget
Try'na remember what the doctor said
Quit your crying it's all in your
Head
You don't really feel like you were
Dead

But you don't know me
Like
Like I know me

I ain't gotta breathe
I live on gasoline
Whispers in my head'll be
Louder than my screams

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

Lighting matches fires burning
I live on kerosene
I'll be fighting till the end
It ain't the end of me

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

Close my eyes and put down my head
I'll count to three and I'll wake again
They said quit your crying it's all in your
Head
You don't really feel like you were
Dead

But you don't know me
Like
Like I know me

I ain't gotta breathe
I live on gasoline
Whispers in my head'll be
Louder than my screams

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

Lighting matches fires burning
I live on kerosene
I'll be fighting till the end
It ain't the end of me

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

What if I smile and say I'm alright
Will it make you feel better
This time
And I'm sorry for the hurt that I put in your eyes
But worry no more I'm fine
I'll be alright

Cuz I ain't gotta breathe
I live on gasoline
Whispers in my head'll be
Louder than my screams

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

Lighting matches fires burning
I live on kerosene
I'll be fighting till the end
It ain't the end of me

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

Cuz I ain't gotta breathe
I live on gasoline
Whispers in my head'll be
Louder than my screams

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

Lighting matches fires burning
I live on kerosene
I'll be fighting till the end
It ain't the end of me

Why can no one hear me
Why can no one hear me

3. BROKEN PIECES
Hey, I just wanted to call and say that I was thinking about you
You know, how are you, how are you doing
Yeah, when you get a chance, give me a call back
Alright, bye

I scribble on this page of mine

Feel it closing in
Beginning to spin
I sit in silence
Voices creepin’ in
Should I give in

I'm so glad you're here, so glad you're here

So many broken pieces, around me
Scattered across the ground
I gathered all of my broken pieces in my arms and hold them close
To keep them warm

White lights are burning through the blinds
Pounding on the door
Curled up on the floor

I lay in silence
Voices creepin‘ in
Should I give in

I don't know, I'm feeling kinda funny
So glad you're here

So many broken pieces, around me
Scattered across the ground
I gathered all of my broken pieces in my arms and hold them close
To keep them warm

And I wake up
And I hear you close to me
But I can’t feel no more

My eyes now dry
These lips are frozen
I’m just dying to stay alive

So many broken pieces, around me
Scattered across the ground
I gathered all of my broken pieces in my arms and hold them close
To keep them warm

So glad you're here, so glad you're here

So many broken pieces, around me
Scattered across the ground
I gathered all of my broken pieces in my arms and hold them close
To keep them warm

When you get a chance, give me a call back
Alright, bye

4. EVERYTHING
And I didn’t know her, and I didn’t know me
But we’re halves of this same little body
Lookin’ at each other’s face through the glass
That I kissed with my fist cuz I got so angry
Oh should I say I’m sorry
For blaming her for every
Thing that had happened
But this feels so heavy

Wait, just hold on, you were young, it didn't make sense
When they did what they did and took advantage of you
What to do when all alone and they all tell you

Head down, turn around
Show me how much I can take from
You, when your guard is down
Trust me, promise I won't hurt you
Believe me, I won't leave
Just give me all your codes and keys
And once you finally, give your all
I'll take everything

And what should I think
When every time that I blinked
It seemed like everything was moving faster
Seemed I could only say yes, never no
Only saw the damage of it all in the math of the after

I drowned this out with laughter
Cuz It's too heavy a matter
For me to carry
But it never leaves me

Wait, just hold on, you were young, it didn't make sense
When they did what they did and took advantage of you
What to do when all alone and they all tell you

Head down, turn around
Show me how much I can take from
You, when your guard is down
Trust me, promise I won't hurt you
Believe me, I won't leave
Just give me all your codes and keys
And once you finally, give your all
I'll take everything

Head down, turn around
Show me how much I can take from
You, when your guard is down
Trust me, promise I won't hurt you
Believe me, I won't leave
Just give me all your codes and keys
And once you finally, give your all
I'll take everything

Head down, turn around
Show me how much I can take from
You, when your guard is down
Trust me, promise I won't hurt you
Believe me, I won't leave
Just give me all your codes and keys
And once you finally, give your all
I'll take everything

5. MANIC
Just a moment
Please wait
Need'a spill out some wine so it stains

I'm not crazy, insane
Just a couple screws loose in my brain

Oh I, oh I’m, oh I'm
Floating in Wonderland
Maybe I'm over my head
But

It’s just so sweet
I love the way it tastes
Shoot through my veins
Me, I’m on my way
Sippin’ tea with Mad Hatter, intoxicated games
Don’t take me away
I wanna stay

Oh my thoughts
Are like race cars
They don't wanna stop

Take a bite
Lose the brakes
Like an addict that’s found an escape

Oh I, oh I’m, oh I'm
Floating in Wonderland
Maybe I'm over my head
But

It’s just so sweet
I love the way it tastes
Shoot through my veins
Me, I’m on my way
Sippin’ tea with Mad Hatter, intoxicated games
Don’t take me away
I wanna

Pacing, claw my face
They keep on talkin’
Quiet please I say
The sirens coming
But I like the
High that happens yeah, in my mind, you
Say I’m manic, but don’t mind these red lines
I’m fine

I feel so alive

It’s just so sweet
I love the way it tastes
Shoot through my veins
Me, I’m on my way
Sippin’ tea with Mad Hatter, intoxicated games
Don’t take me away
I wanna stay, stay

It’s just so sweet
I love the way it tastes
Shoot through my veins
Me, I’m on my way
Sippin’ tea with Mad Hatter, intoxicated games
Don’t take me away
I wanna

6. SKY'S RAIN
I've come to know
What's in control
Say, when I'm gone
Please bring me back home

I’ve got a hold
On my shadows
But I fear of what tomorrow

Brings, though my soft skin has become hardened
Though all my walls are up, they guard and defend
Though I say I am strong, I need no one
This tear in my heart makes it hard to go on

Why is this air so heavy, drowning me
Why is this world so blurry, can't even see
Though I am smiling, I still clench my jaws
Though I am free to live, sky's rain will still fall

Cover, cover
Cover over me
Silent expectations
Violent conversations
No appreciation

Though I have got a hold
On my shadows
I fear of what tomorrow

Brings, though my soft skin has become hardened
Though all my walls are up, they guard and defend
Though I say I am strong, I need no one
This tear in my heart makes it hard to go on

Why is this air so heavy, drowning me
Why is this world so blurry, can't even see
Though I am smiling, I still clench my jaws
Though I am free to live, sky's rain will still fall

So I guess I’ll lie down and close my eyes
Start to let go cuz I am feeling so tired
Please help me when
It seems like I am gone
Please help me
Will you help bring me back home
 
🦄
7. MR. TIME
Stare at the wall
And contemplate the ticks behind me
This reminiscin's weighin' heavy, hold on me
And I’ll find my way
But I've lost those days
Just cry myself to sleep

And I'll knock on Mr. Time’s Door
And I will smile and beg politely if he could
If he would help me rewind time
But then he

Told me
Little one, I’m sorry
But it doesn’t work that way
But let me tell you that
If you have moments or someone you love
Then hold on tight and cherish time
For who knows what will come
If tomorrow they
Are lost, are gone

These memories keep haunting me wherever I go
Bitter sweet dreams caught in between, I'm forced to know

And I’ll find my way
But I've lost those days
Just cry myself to sleep

And I'll knock on Mr. Times Door
And I will smile and beg politely if he could
If he would help me rewind time
But then he

Told me
Little one, I’m sorry
But it doesn’t work that way
But let me tell you that
If you have moments or someone you love
Then hold on tight and cherish time
For who knows what will come
If tomorrow they

Please Mr. Time help me erase mistakes that I’ve made
Promise I'll be good and I'll redo things the right way
Just let me fix what’s on my list, and I won’t ask for anymore
Just a ghost I have become, help me fix all that I’ve done

Told me
Little one, I’m sorry
But it doesn’t work that way
But let me tell you that
If you have moments or someone you love
Then hold on tight and cherish time
For who knows what will come
If tomorrow

He told me
Little one, I’m sorry
But it doesn’t work that way
But let me tell you that
If you have moments or someone you love
Then hold on tight and cherish time
For who knows what will come
If tomorrow they
Are lost, are gone

8. GLITCH
I'll raise my shaking hands up high
I’ll strive to keep myself in line
Just try to keep this trail alive
In case I leave myself behind

It feels like figures blur and doubts intensify
Am I alive
Or is this code a twisting lie
A flawed design

I break away
Inside, I scream
Out begging why

My mind just be like
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da
Been glitchin’ all my life
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da
Just dyin' to stay alive
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da

These swirling notes of noise arise
With glitching lights, trapped in my eyes
Oh, I will raise my arms up high
If ever I leave myself behind

It feels like figures blur and doubts intensify
Am I alive
Or is this code a twisting lie
A flawed design

I break away
Inside, I scream
Out begging why

My mind just be like
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da
Been glitchin’ all my life
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da
Just dyin' to stay alive
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da

Calm surrender
Under pressure
Going under
Poor behavior

Try my best to run

Silent razors
Taking over

I break away
Never knowing why

My mind just be like
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da
Been glitchin’ all my life
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da
Just dyin' to stay alive
Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da, Da-da-da, Dat-da

9. BREATHE
Are you ok, it's in the air
I know it hurts, the pain
Just so much to bear

Just grab ahold, we'll take it slow
Just hold on tight, don't you let go

Feel the world is caving, can hardly breathe

I know you hurt right now, it’s getting loud
Can’t stop bleeding
Silently crying out
“Please help me now, I’m dying”

Just trying every single way
To make this go away, this feeling

I know it hurts right now, it’s getting loud
Just breathe with me, breathe with me
Breathe with

We push away, self-medicate
And drag our blades, to mask our pain

Just grab a hold, we'll take it slow
Just hold on tight, don't you let go

Feel the world is caving, can hardly breathe

I know you hurt right now, it’s getting loud
Can’t stop bleeding

Silently crying out
“Please help me now, I’m dying”

Just trying every single way
To make this go away, this feeling

I know it hurts right now, it’s getting loud
Just breathe with

The night will end, we'll rise again
Our lives defend, our voices spoken

The darkest nights will end
We'll rise and rise again
We are the broken

I know you hurt right now, it’s getting loud
Can’t stop bleeding

Silently crying out
“Please help me now, I’m dying”

Just trying every single way
To make this go away, this feeling

I know it hurts right now, it’s getting loud
Just breathe with

I know you hurt right now, it’s getting loud
Can’t stop bleeding

Silently crying out
“Please help me now, I’m dying”

Just trying every single way
To make this go away, this feeling

I know it hurts right now, it’s getting loud
Just breathe with

Me
Breathe with me
Breathe with

Breathe with me

10. TEMPERAMENTAL
So I
Hop out of bed
And it’s 2 in the morning
And I try to refuse, that my head’s really hurting
And I hope that, these two pills will help that
Like it’s really magic in my hand
No I don’t want to get up, but I will
Cuz my therapist tells me
Getting up, is a skill
And I really wanna have that in myself
And I really wanna do that and get well

But sometimes
Life feels like a dream
And voices in my head are really mean
They say I'm better dead than living
And I think that I start to believe them

Grab for anything
To take away the pain that I'm feeling
Got monsters in my brain, they count on me
So I, yeah I just keep on walking

Look at the sky
It's a beautiful day to be alive
And I cry, tears of joy
I'm emotional, I guess
That you could say that
Balance, like a needle in a haystack

And I wave and I smile
At the people passing
But I wonder if they even see me
Like I see myself
Really hoping that this dream turns out well

Take another step and just hold onto this dear life
It's gonna be a wild ride
Sometimes it feels like I am out my mind

But I just keep on walking
Thank those who hold onto me
When I am falling
And I'm finding it hard to breathe

Life feels like a dream
And voices in my head are really mean
They say I'm better dead than living
And I think that I start to believe them

Grab for anything
To take away the pain that I'm feeling
Got monsters in my brain, they count on me
So I, yeah I just keep on walking

Put up my fists, and I fight
Cuz it's worth it that I try, try to stay, stay alive
I'm emotional, I guess
That you could say that
Balance, like a needle in a haystack

But I think, think of all, of the people by me
And I'm thankful that they smile back at me
Accept me for myself
I'm just simple, a little temperamental
