Pink Lemonade 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Don't spill on the sheets, don't drink it when you're on the bed If you think that it's easy, I'm afraid that you've been misled Don't spill it on the blankets, don't drink it when you're on the couch It's freshly squeezed, oh no, it didn't come from a pouch Sippin' on pink lemonade Sippin' drinks out in the shade Sticky fingers grip the glass Sweet taste is mine at last And I know that I should share, but I don't care; I want it to myself Because I know a drink this sweet is meant for me, and no one else, no one else Sippin' on pink lemonade Pure fruit juice concentrate Don't put up a stand, don't sell it when you're on the street Add a strawberry twist and then the flavor will be complete If you add too much, It's more sour than it was before You know it barely even tastes like lemonade anymore Sippin' on pink lemonade Sippin' drinks out in the shade Sticky fingers grip the glass Sweet taste is mine at last And I know that I should share, but I don't care; I want it to myself Because I know a drink this sweet is meant for me, and no one else, girl, no one else Sippin' on pink lemonade Pure fruit juice concentrate Sippin' on pink lemonade Pure fruit juice concentrate Sippin' on pink lemonade Pure fruit juice concentrate Sippin' on pink lemonade Pure fruit juice concentrate Sippin' on pink lemonade Pure fruit juice concentrate

I'm Blind 02:36
lyrics

Your long blue bangs can't hide your tired eyes Your transparent, alien disguise Well I think about what happens when you skip ahead I now I think about what happens when you end up dead Well you fetch my vision with your face Girl, you put my puzzled mind in place I said you're smiling through your cellophane Because for once, you're not the most insane Now I'm a sucker for the shy ones And I like to have a little fun But when I'm hanging out with you, it's like I'm staring at the sun And I'm blind Empty vials of hair dye on the ground now You left your comb in the lost and found Girl, I think about what happens when you're two feet tall I said you might as well not even be there at all Because you've got this formula for love and hate And an empty husk to desecrate I said you toss my body on the floor But then suddenly, you're back for more But I'm a sucker for the shy ones And I like to have a little fun But when I'm hanging out with you, it's like I'm staring at the sun And I'm blind I'm a sucker for the shy ones And I like to have a little fun But when I'm hanging out with you, it's like I'm staring at the sun And I know you're not into guys like me But I think it could be worth a try maybe When I'm hanging out with you, you know it gets so hard to see And I'm blind

Violet Goodbye (Just To Know You) 04:06
lyrics
buy track
No stranger, happy just to know you Hold on, but I'll have to outgrow you You're speeding up, but it's not a race Violet goodbye in a bowl cut phase Signs of a shudder before I say I'm happy just to know you Cut wires and cut your inspiration Soldered on my dead and dull creation Oh yeah You're speeding up, but it's not a race Violet goodbye in a bowl cut phase Signs of a shudder before I say I'm happy just to know you Used to look out at the sparkling stars Staying connected from miles apart You'll get a hold of my aching heart I'm happy just to know you New life, a second favorite person Worst case, I'll still end up a new friend Oh yeah You're speeding up, but it's not a race Violet goodbye in a bowl cut phase Signs of a shudder before I say I'm happy just to know you Used to look out at the sparkling stars Staying connected from miles apart You'll get a hold of my breaking heart I'm happy just to know you

I don't want another apology Heard that a million times before I don't need another lobotomy Don't need you to shut me out anymore Give me something to deflect your shame Convince me that you are alright again Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain Condensation is gonna make it fall again Come fix my liquid state Do what you do so great and Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain I don't want another back and forth Done that a million times before I want you to show her what you're worth, what you're worth Leave your dignity down on the floor Come on now, there ain't no need to rush Keeping safe and secret, that spinal crush Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain Condensation is gonna make it fall again Come fix my liquid state Do what you do so great and Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain The candle's wax is melting by the door Leaves molten puddles that dissolve the floor The damage cannot be repaid, now the ending is delayed Because you gave it all away Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain Condensation is gonna make it fall again Come fix my liquid state Do what you do so great and Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain Come fix my liquid state Do what you do so great and Sunshine, come down Help evaporate the rain

I'm So Confused 03:34
lyrics

I'm so confused Just don't know what I should do Thought I had a master plan, but I messed up the instructions again Eight was great I used to think But when I see her now, she makes my heart sink An alto taken by a baritone Or maybe it was a bass, but either way, I'm alone Nothing left to say For anybody, anybody Anybody except for me I'm so confused Just don't know what I should do I thought I had it figured out But when I look a little closer, got a couple doubts Nine was fine in theory, sure But when I see her now, she makes me insecure Because I thought it would work if I worked up the courage But she's got me tangled in a web I'm so nervous So much there to love But she isn't who I'm dreaming, isn't who I'm dreaming Isn't who I'm dreaming of I'm so confused Just don't know what I should do Thought I could keep it going a little longer But I found myself wishing that my heart was stronger Even if I pick one and I love her completely There's nothing guaranteeing that she'll pick me Well the eighth little one is only in my thoughts And I thought nine was fine, but then maybe not Clock is ticking fast And I'll make the same mistakes, I'll make the same mistakes I'll make the same mistakes I did in the past I'm so confused Just don't know what I should do Thought I could pick a girl and we'd be in love But now I know it only hurt her, and she's had enough I'm so confused Just don't know what I should do I thought I had a master plan But I messed up the instructions again Although I messed up the instructions again But I messed up the instructions again

Black Cracks 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I tried to focus on my friends, but you were just too damn distracting My mind said go full alpha mode, but my confidence was lacking To what extent are you submerged, cause I'm more than knee deep in you In fact I'd say I'm drowning, could you please come to my rescue Black cracks permeate the white light, and I'm horrified I know that we don't talk the way we used to A sweet but twisted lullaby that I refuse to fall asleep to The revelation hit me hard when I knew I had to give on you But your new path is intriguing, and I'd like to get to know him Though I know if I pursue that goal, I'm gonna sink instead of swim Black cracks permeate the white light, and I'm horrified I know that I don't smile the way I used to I tell myself we could be friends Just friends, and nothing more But the back part of my mind complains because it isn't like before Now that I've seen you smile, you've given something back to me God, I'm so selfish asking for another dose of dopamine Black cracks permeate the white light, and I'm horrified I know that we don't talk the way we used to Black cracks permeate the white light, but Kate, I still love you Why can't I give you up the way I want to?

It's Over 03:58
lyrics

Built an altar for you Hoping that you come soon I'm all alone in my room Ain't got a damn thing to do And it seems like it's been a while since we've been together And I mean every word that I say when I say we can do better I've waited hours for you It's five, I've waited since noon I've taken in the full moon Your signal never came through And it seems like it's been a while since we've been together And you said everything was okay, but I'm cracking under pressure I thought I could get over your burning supernova But you won't leave me, even as a fantasy I need you Yes I do I built an altar for you I'm hoping that you come soon Don't lose me in the typhoon Don't say you've found someone new And it seems like it's been a while since we've been together And I mean every word that I say when I say we can do better And I know that you're turning away when I'm crying on your shoulder And I thought everything was okay, but I finally know it's over

Sit on a bench outside the station And I never wanna go To feel your brain wave information Is like a dream of vertigo I never wanted you to say this I never wanted you to leave I never wanted you to say those things to me For 13 hours at a time Not near enough to make you mine For 13 hours at a time I wish you'd stay my valentine My memory fades in blacks and blues My secrets drip onto the floor Somehow I still remember you And I'd never lock that door For 13 hours at a time Not near enough to make you mine For 13 hours at a time I wish you'd stay my valentine I look up at the sky Familiar voices call I see the satellite Goodbye, I love you all For 13 hours at a time Not near enough to make you mine For 13 hours at a time I wish you'd stay my valentine For 13 hours at a time Not near enough to make you mine 13 hours at a time I wish you'd stay my valentine 13 hours at a time 13 hours at a time

Nothing to Gain 02:17

Black frills Cheap thrills Need another way to waste my time Steep hills Vague chills Need another way to lose my mind Nothing to gain, and everything to lose You say it works, but do you have the proof Nothing to gain, and everything to lose I want both so I don't have to choose Dull nerves Sharp curves Need another way to keep me sane Big swerve Deserved Need another way to hide my shame Nothing to gain, and everything to lose You say it works, but do you have the proof? Nothing to gain, and everything to lose I want both so I don't have to choose Nothing to gain, and everything to lose You say it works, but do you have the proof? Nothing to gain, and everything to lose I want both so I don't have to choose Nothing to gain, and everything to lose You say it works, but do you have the proof? Nothing to gain, and everything to lose I want both so I don't have to choose

Murder the Hypotenuse 02:06

I had him in my sights Everything was going right But my frame of view's not big enough for more than two There just isn't any room for you When you've got yourself a triangle and you don't know what to do You can make it so much simpler if you just murder the hypotenuse You're acting nonchalant Using put-on innocence to get what you want And I see the game that you're trying to play You better stay away from my baby When you've got yourself a triangle and you don't know what to do You can make it so much simpler if you just murder the hypotenuse He's falling for your tricks I bet it gives you a kick to get the better of me Surely it's better to keep your life than it is to be a wife Now wouldn't you agree When you've got yourself a triangle and you don't know what to do You can make it so much simpler if you just murder the hypotenuse When you've got yourself a triangle and you don't know what to do You can make it so much simpler if you just murder the hypotenuse

Copycat 02:09
lyrics

Ten extra minutes come and go, and yet you think that I don't know what you're doing You lock me out and lock me in, and I can tell the kind of trap you're pursuing Bathe in the moonlight when it's full; Defying gravity, you float in the blue sky And so you ask me once again, but I can't follow you, and I think you know just why I'll shut your touch screen off Cause I've had enough of that Mimic your minimizing with my copycat You say you're normal once again, and though I know it, I think you look like a psychic If I could land a single hit, then maybe I could take you out with my low kick I know I'm gonna have to switch, but I prolong it cause I take every challenge And though it might not be this life, I know that someday I am gonna be the one to win I'll shut your touch screen off Cause I've had enough of that Mimic your minimizing with my copycat I know it might not be today, but someday soon I'll take you out and I'll be king of the afternoon

Luna 04:19

Shooting star falls to the hill at midnight Radiates my mind, disables sight The glow of green and neon red; The northern lights surround my head Her tractor beam will pull me from my bed Artificial light combined with the moon in a single stream She told me this, her name was Luna Planets change their orbit when they're caught in a laser beam She showed me this, her name was Luna Baby doll they never finished making All her human parts are prone to breaking As fragile as a butterfly, but strong enough to knock me aside And smart enough to know it's good to lie Artificial light combined with the moon in a single stream She told me this, her name was Luna Planets change their orbit when they're caught in a laser beam She showed me this, her name was Luna Stranded in the stars I wonder how you are Stranded in the stars with your constellation scars Artificial light combined with the moon in a single stream She told me this, her name was Luna (Luna) Planets change their orbit when they're caught in a laser beam She showed me this, her name was Luna (Luna) Artificial light combined with the moon in a single stream She told me this, her name was Luna (Luna) Planets change their orbit when they're caught in a laser beam She showed me this, her name was Luna

Chidori 04:32
lyrics

Molten lava dripping off your head, smoking visibly A broken record plays your favorite song, but it's going differently I can't say that I don't relate; We share our wounds after all But in your chest is a sad, sad song, and it reminds me of Scrawl 'Cause it says please have everything, please take it away Just don't tell me the words you've been trying to say Magma droplets falling from your face, smoking visibly You turn your tank around and head for home 'cause you surrendered willingly I can't say that I'm gonna blame you; I've got a sense of remorse It could've happened to anyone, but it had to be you of course And you go please don't let me know, don't let it resolve Don't let my lifelong dream dissolve And if your dim light dies, please let me know I'll steal the show when your red turns indigo And if denial seeps out of your soul, I'll make you whole (Help you reach all of your goals) Even if it hurts me Chidori Coals burning out under the wood, smoking visibly He's forever yours inside your arms, albeit intangibly I can't say that I'm gonna save you, but I'm at least gonna try And if I have to sink a couple ships, I will; You can't stay paralyzed And you're like please don't let me drown The water is coming out my ears I'm totally submerged but please don't let me disappear And if your dim light dies, please let me know I'll steal the show when your red turns indigo And if denial seeps out of your soul, I'll make you whole (Help you reach all of your goals) Even if it hurts me Chidori Even if it hurts me... And if your dim light dies, please let me know I'll steal the show when your red turns indigo And if denial seeps out of your soul, I'll make you whole (Help you reach all of your goals) And if you don't want any help from me, then let me be, but set me down gently Even if it hurts me Chidori

Goodbye & Goodnight 04:23
lyrics

I was chilling in the afterlife; Someone reversed the timeline, and I saw you At twilight when cicadas cry, upon the azure hillside, and I saw you I see you Do what you want with all the songs, but most of all don't think it's wrong I loved you I know you wanted present tense, but it became a tangled mess; I loved you I love you Dead eyed, outside, Christmas Eve I can't give you what you need So I'll leave you to yourself Say good night, I'm someone else Dead eyed, outside, Christmas Eve I can't give you what you need So I'll leave you to yourself Goodbye, goodnight, someone else
