The winding down of love Sorry I wasn’t enough To carry the burden To help the hurt of what I put you through The contours that frames all this empty space Discreet meeting, secret handshakes, this was an honest mistake I can’t look you in the eyes Exhausted and scared and running out of excuses to provide Run my fingers across your spine Feel how your structure aligns While I fall out of place at least 100 times a fucking day Are you walls decorated like bricks? Seems I never noticed until the day I saw the wallpaper separate Place your shoulders against my chest What will you love when there’s nothing left? Haunted every single step I hope you never rest

Dying 2 Live 03:32
I'm okay I feel good I'm not struggling I listen to Forever by Diane & Marilyn The Spring is coming This Winter was a long one But it wasn't draining I'm easy, if aching But what's a little ache to reinforce a feeling It's comforting This sentiment born of our undoing So what are your expectations What do you hope to find What adjustments will you make to carve out a better life You know I'm not unwilling to put everything into this I don't feel like I'm dying I'm only dying to live Is this happiness Is this empathy Is this how it feels to be blessed with good company Is it clarity Does this benefit you as much as it does me I'm the monument She's the figurant Were you born as this The limp-wristed plagiarist I must insist that, statistically, you're the least likely to come back to sanity So what are you intentions What do you hope to find What are you doing these days to make the best of your time This could be fulfilling if you put everything into it Do you feel like you're dying Or only dying to live

Ruiner Too 03:24
There are songs that I can’t listen to anymore Like most of NOACF There are places that I drive the long way around to avoid I want you forget your house, name and number I never knew That you were a Ruiner, too Every time you make me feel less alive Walking backwards - a steady decline When you crash your car again, I hope your only regret is that the first time around you remembered your seatbelt Dead for days I still count the ways I feel numb but still feel everything
4.
Infinite You 03:22
If this courage should crack then I'll keep on looking forward for a new way back The worst has happened I know you think you warned me when you told me "Hell is empty and all the devils are here" But I know you stole that Infinite you Finishing me Make me senseless, regretful, anything I've no mind to think of I sing away the blues For when the soft tongue breaks the bone Forgotten former days and the trusty yellow haze We broke it though Now it's black and white at best There's a memory of a ghost of a feeling of a notion of something more This time I won't forget
5.
Wallflower 03:04
Wallflower, won’t you wither? I left you alone for most of the winter The cold hits me differently It sinks in my skin, refusing to leave Do you still sleep alone? Do you avoid certain roads on the drive home? I’ve been lying in bed for weeks Let my muscles atrophy Turn off my phone Pretending to sleep I can’t forget the last words you said to me
6.
Sedative 04:02
You said you swear by the sedatives Is that what you meant Because nobody mentioned this Facing the day alone instead Brace yourself The fall is inevitable Brace yourself For something else Take a deep breath Hold it in Feel your lungs recalibrate A whiter shade of pale The colour fading from your face At least it's something else Because nothing's not enough You said you swore that you could forgive Is that what you meant Or is it now irrelevant You're not bound by your past Or who you were No matter how uncomfortable Brace yourself The fall is inevitable Take a deep breath Hold it in Feel your lungs recalibrate A whiter shade of pale The colour falling from your face At least it's something else Because nothing's not enough You keep on keeping me away
7.
I've been breathing in and breathing out I've been living just to let you down I didn't recognise you until you turned around Living a two world daydream Lodged between two realities Your voice is breaking in the back room Invitation to love under a dead moon I would go home but I don't want to be alone I don't know how to balance out the chemicals Paint with my right hand Guided by candle light The warmth doesn't burn me Cursed in eternity Just you + I Bodies intertwined I would go home but I don't want to be alone I don't know how to balance out the chemicals Read my palms Trace nails inside the lines Predict how I'm going to die Sometimes it's easier to hide
8.
I feel your name on my fingers The keys keep me up The screen glow The long grow The lost love I roll over and I'm gone I guess I didn't care that much We avoid being two lovers losing Regretful and skeletal Your mother's been killing herself for years but she still comes to on the floor The lies might have hurt but the truth hurt more Three reasons Because be real, I faltered Three reasons Because be real -Don't repeat me -Don't leave me -Don't be me I try to catch you eye The first step to apologise I feel embarrassed when I say I quite at 16 It's not like I was too far into it It just wasn't for me I liked to keep my head straight Days were hard enough I don't need another reason to not get up

Honey Lens 03:42
We used to drive around all night When the moon was full With the windows down Your hand in my face My hand in your hand I hoped that we would stay like this forever The first time We walked to the water You watched me bleed Exsanguinate me You left in the worst way No goodbye and no apology No explanation Erase your existence I never wanted to be held accountable For the time we spent Or the amount of Pushing my pride aside Admitting you were right Don’t make me decide The way you recite poetry With your eyes closed I’ll keep a part of me Forever yours Forever yours

In the termination car park the lights come on and it’s still dark We’re feeling blue and there’s nothing much left to do but go home and break down There were mistakes we later found out Like that meeting at all was probably the wrong thing to do You were insincere and I liked that Shaking knees but steady hands With just enough will in you to stand me Or not How sad Never mind I’m getting behind -In small talk of the weather -And whether or not we’re better off as strangers than together So forget it now never mind June came and June went I’m not sure that it ever meant all that much to me I just liked the sound and feel Between J-U-YOU-N-E and ME But I’ve been thinking lately I should probably change ‘you’s to ‘she’s You were innocent and I liked that Something soon lost in vain And now the sight of you is something I can barely stand So leave me For now Or don’t Never mind I’m getting behind -In small talk of the weather -And whether or not we’re better off as strangers than together So forget it now never mind You were insincere and I liked that Shaking knees but steady hands With just enough will in you to stand me So believe me Or don’t How sad Never mind I’m getting behind -In small talk of the weather -And whether or not we’re better off as strangers than together So forget it now never mind I looked at you You looked at me through tears I looked at you You looked at me We shed our fears in secret Every day we live with the fact That we didn’t think ahead And that just maybe We could’ve done things differently Every day we live with the fact That we didn’t think ahead And that just maybe the regrets weren’t worth it We killed the baby Every day we live with that
