Little Ghost (free) 03:50
Who am I to say that the world is fading When I am the one who is changing place? Would walk alone til my features age, you would not recognize my face. Because I can’t help myself. I’m leaving here tonight, giving up all the time. You see me like I am someone else, but you’re just a ghost of mine A memory from a former life. And I meet you in the dead of night. Keep me from sleep, hollow thoughts hold over me. Through the window now, think you wanna show me all around. If this was a test, think that you know best how the weight affects me when I’m breaking down. Because I can’t help myself. I’m leaving here tonight, giving up all the time. You see me like I am someone else, but you’re just a ghost of mine A memory from a former life. I see your shapes are shifting, always, constantly. Conceals a face I’ll know eventually. Through the window now. think you wanna show me all around. If this was a test, think that you know best how the weight affects me when I’m breaking down. Would walk alone till my features age, you would not recognize my face. Little ghost of mine.

Annabelle 03:23
I bought us tickets to the fastest train. Have you cleared all your steps? Have you brought your things? No I couldn’t find a better way to get you out. Take those glasses off your face. O Annabelle, what did you see? Have they caught on to us? They’re catching onto me... O Annabelle, your eyes cannot describe the way they cut you inside. So we’ll take the next train out. Our shoulders brushed as we passed in the hallway. I know your face, but never speak my name. No I couldn’t find a better way to get you out, to keep you safe. O Annabelle, what did you see? Have they caught on to us? They’re catching onto me... O Annabelle, your eyes cannot describe the way they cut you inside. My sweet. You led them here on purpose. This was all on purpose. You led them to me so you could go free. You led them here on purpose. So what’s my purpose? O Annabelle, what did you see? Have they caught on to us? They’re catching onto me... O Annabelle, your eyes cannot describe the way they cut you inside.

Take away things you wanted but could never have from me. I’d give them with a smile and charm, to act so friendly. But probably, I won’t speak honestly. The words you’re prying from my lips won’t tell you what you want to know when you treat them like this. What did you expect for me to say, When what I observe is a different world than the one that you see today. Won’t speak, you will see. Keep my troubles safe inside of me. So you would not... Take away things you wanted but could never have from me. I’d give them with a smile and charm, to act so friendly. But probably, I won’t speak honestly. The words you’re prying from my lips won’t tell you what you want to know when you treat them like this. Don’t say you know what I mean. You don’t know anything. Well I’ve been keeping my windows locked tight So I can sleep well and hold off the daylight. My body feels warm here, and shaded by dark. I don’t know where I’m going, but this is where I’ll start. Take away things you wanted but could never have from me. I’d give them with a smile and charm, to act so friendly. But probably, I won’t speak honestly. The words you’re prying from my lips won’t tell you what you want to know when you treat them like this.

My sides split, I’m tearing at the seams. The sounds held close are breaking out of me. I only want to set them free. Cut me deep in what I couldn’t be. So I’ll just throw it out of reach. O this is a brand new world, and these moments that pass are gone for good. Its cold, and through the snow its hard to see the way sometimes. Can’t even find a place in which to sleep. Couldn’t ever really get enough now could you? Endeavors are a waste of time. Use your goddam mind you foolish child. Does not this money make you smile? Its over now. Pack your things find you’re own way out of here. O this is a brand new world, and these moments that pass are gone for good. Its cold, and through the snow its hard to see the way sometimes. Can’t even find a place in which to sleep. O you know, you know its true. No maps to find the way. We were just unafraid, did not know what to do.

Everyday 04:05
All we have are these broken dreams. Can’t make sense of anything. Don’t know who I am anymore. Only one thing is for sure: Could never leave. You’re in every part of me. Your sun is what brightens my day. Waking up everything in me. And through hurricanes your eyes are what I see. But we’ve been speaking with silence. This distance is quiet. Time moves slow. And there’s no need to say things we already know Could never leave. You’re in every part of me. Your sun is what brightens my day. Waking up everything in me. I did not mean to give everything away. And I see its dark outside, can’t tell if its morning or night. And it seems the clocks are slow around here. I had this dream that I could not speak the things that I wanted to say. I was too far away. I did not mean to give everything away.

Step carefully through the twisted plains. There is nothing here, only nothing. Impressions I make, as if brushed in with paint, Live on their own, full color. If you draw the lines, I will color them in the best that I can. My hands don’t tire of it. Best that I can...my own two hands. My bones are shaking because the earth is quaking. I resonate because it is my place. Emit in red to fill the empty space. If you draw the lines, I will color them in the best that I can. My hands don’t tire of it. My bones are shaking because the earth is quaking. I resonate because it is my place. Emit in red to fill the empty space. There’s so much empty space. How could you blame me? Step carefully. If you draw the lines, I will color them in the best that I can. My hands don’t tire of it. My bones are shaking because the earth is quaking. I resonate because it is my place. Emit in red to fill the empty space.
