verse 1:
from in my tower i ring the bell
i rise, crawl from my wooden cell
out from the crypt in which i dwell
there's beds in almost every room
but there's no point in sleeping
through the night if i can't close my eyes
chorus:
when all is said and done
should i fly into the sun
or should i rot here in this tomb
underneath the silver moon
verse 2:
locked up for all eternity
this place hasn't felt like home to me
since i was put here some odd
years ago
candles burn and burn again
alone in this castle i spend
every night wishing i could fade away
chorus:
when all is said and done
should i fly into the sun
or should i rot here in this tomb
underneath the silver moon

verse 1:
i've forsaken this bond that we had
you think i'm a spineless hollow man
the open door you had are shut
oh i felt like giving up
but honey i found a way
with guidance we'll be okay
chorus:
it's embarrassing to ask permission
but father i've knelt
now let me wear my fake religions
my hands are clasped together
i swear to hold no other
but father i've bowed
now return me to my lover
verse 2:
i pray to ease my troubled mind
and i promise to leave our past behind
i hope you forget the pain i've dealt
the things i've said, but never felt
oh honey don't say it's true
i chose faith to be with you
chorus:
it's embarrassing to ask permission
but father i've knelt
now let me wear my fake religions
my hands are clasped together
i swear to hold no other
but father i've bowed
now return me to my lover

verse 1:
darling,
i've been feeling helpless
lost inside this endless
wave of velvet wrapped around me
darling,
even though it's soothing
i know it could do me
wrong and i'm too far gone to see that
pre-chorus:
your tenderness it washes over me
miles away your sea foam is all i can see
chorus:
i'll be there
when the ocean
changes shape
and now you're sitting
on the sea shells writing poems about the nights that we had spent
verse 2:
so long,
to my inspiration
reason for creation
i don't know how i can reach you
see through
everything inspiring
the water levels rising
above my head, i don't know where to move
pre-chorus 2:
and all the lights flicker in front of me
miles away your sea foam is all i can see
chorus:
i'll be there
when the ocean
changes shape
and now you're sitting
on the sea shells writing poems about the nights that we had spent

Sweet

verse 1:
when you're sleeping do you dream of something sweet
when it's cold out do you lay in your lovers sheets
was i not enough
or was it everything you asked for
chorus:
are you sleeping with roses in your eyes
does it hurt to not have someone by your side
i couldn't be there all the time
i couldn't be there all the time
verse 2:
when i met you did you know it would end like this
now it's over do you have any regrets
did you get enough
did you get all you've asked for
chorus:
are you sleeping with roses in your eyes
does it hurt to not have someone by your side
i couldn't be there all the time
i couldn't be there all the time

verse 1:
back to the old way of being paranoid
when did we become so irrationally annoyed
with each other all the time
cause we're unstable as it is
fighting might be courageous, but
is it worth the risk
pre-chorus:
they don't understand
they leave us with no choice
we're not killing anyone
we just wanna have a voice
chorus:
red sun rising in the distance
lest they find a way to listen
we'll bleed for abolition
the red sun's rising in the distance
verse 2:
here comes the new wave
of a neutered generation
laughs the same ones who got us
in this situation
pre-chorus:
they don't understand
they leave us with no choice
we're not killing anyone
we just wanna have a voice
chorus:
red sun rising in the distance
lest they find a way to listen
we'll bleed for abolition
the red sun's rising in the distance

little crow
my shade has withered away
if only you could understand
the things i have to say
feathered ghost
your eyes don't give off much
should i even try or have
you had enough
force a laugh
for something that'll never last
it's hard to keep the same face
when the fires dying fast

verse 1:
i dreamt last night you saved me
your charming words had graced me
sweet sounds are ringing in my ears
sweet vapors filling up my lungs
pre-chorus:
i wish that we would go back
but you thought it'd never last
chorus:
and every night
while i lie awake, i
still see you dance across my mind
and in the smoke
of all these memories, i
still hear the songs i sang for you
verse 2:
so what's the point of moving on
if i can't forget you at all
matches burning in my eyes
smoke is filling up my lungs
chorus:
and every night
while i lie awake, i
still see you dance across my mind
and in the smoke
of all these memories, i
still hear the songs i sang to you

verse 1:
the sound of my alarm
isn't enough to wake me up
after a long night of staring
and talking to myself
about esther and peter
matthew and john
and the skeletons in my closet
i don't wish to dwell upon
verse 2:
i climb out of bed
and pour myself a glass
of the finest chardonnay
that i could get my hands on
but i can't shake this feeling
and the things i can't fix
so i sit here in silence
in this old motel six

verse 1:
an open cage
the city streets are driving me insane
in tangled sheets i lie awake
5:23
i swear to god i've got something wrong with me
the mattress falls behind my back
chorus:
i can see it
i can feel it
let me in
please let me in
verse 2:
an open bag
i can't remember the last meal that i've had
my brain is fried, i feel dumbed down
my sweat soaked tee
is getting tighter and it's suffoccating me
in my skin i love myself
chorus:
i can see it
i can feel it
let me in
please let me in
