Sometimes, Its just a waste of our breath, No need to describe, All of those feelings we felt. It's so clear, It's obvious as stars at night. It's so clear, It's brighter than the sunshine. And I know, You wanna scream it so loud, But there’s more to this world, Than just to fill it with sound. It's so clear, It's obvious as stars at night. It's so clear, It's brighter than the sunshine.

Oh I, I’m not lost. No I found myself, Where I’m supposed to be. And I, I can see, Only so far ahead, But I believe That I’ve been here before in a dream, And I woke with the sweetest memory, You and me, The king found his queen. And I swear that it wasn’t make believe. Oh I, I can give, More than two, Little, Golden rings. And I’ll fall, To both my knees, And I’ll surrender my heart and all its keys. Because I’ve been here before in a dream, And I cried joyful tears for all to see, So relieved, Our love achieved. And you held me like you always believed. Yeah you held me like you always believed, It was me, The one from your dreams. And this moment, Can move quicker Than we please. Because each morning, We’ll awake, To our dreams.

You wanted me to feel as if, My heart wasn’t ’t enough give. Well I think you better walk it back, Cuz I’m the one who’s laughing last. And it’s good to be free. So good to be. You’re telling me how much you give, But its feeling like you never did. So go talk your shit to someone else, And then watch me go and love myself. Because it’s good to be free. So good to be.

Shouldn’t I be, Somewhere different? Shouldn’t I be, Happy living? I tired praying. Now I’m just waiting. I keep hoping, But hope is failing. And I’ve been lonely, And I’ve been crying, It’s 1am but, Sleep is hiding. Rewind! Refine! Can’t we just make things better? Rewind! It’s fine. We can’t just make things better. And I keep faking, Every moment, Playing my role, Out of focus. But I know each line, I’m reciting, And I’m alive with, My excitement. Because there’s tomorrow, And there’s the promise, Of a role where, I’m not hollowed out. Rewind! Refine! Can’t we just make things better? Rewind! It’s fine. We almost made things better.

Melt (Demo) 04:39
If it was all a game, Then all the things we felt were like whatever and, We never should have played, So let’s just lay right here and melt forever and, And Melt forever and... What’s there left to see, When you already helped to show me everything? Without another need, Except for you and me to melt forever and, To melt forever and… In the silence sweating, When pulsing fingers won’t resolve, I could wait forever, To melt into your arms. If it was all a dream, Then everything we were was just a memory, A fragment of a tease, With nothing but your scent to come and melt with me. So come and melt with me. In the silence sweating, When pulsing fingers won’t resolve, I could wait forever, To melt into your arms.

Me? I’m the same, As every empty promise ever made. Void, The very day, That I’m delivered, That I am named. Just like a tear drop in the rain, I’m feeling lost amongst the waves, When all I need is an escape. Me? I’m ashamed, Like every barren tree branch providing shade. Less, Than all the rest And undeniably the second best. But it’s not fair for me to say, When no one’s counting anyway, And all I asked for was today.

Find relief in the words you say, Getting lost inside another day. Can not wait til I get home, It’s enough to say I told you so. Opened toes in your beat up car, Cigarettes to mellow out the harsh. Look inside to find you’re not around, Leave the day dream in the fevered clouds. And now we’re never alone... Now we're never alone... Open windows in a rented home, Watch you stargaze with your headphones on. Need you close but let you have your space, And fever dream until the colors fade. And now we’re never alone... Now we're never alone... Holding on like you’ll never let me go... With worried eyes because tomorrow never knows... And now we’re never alone... Yeah we're never alone... Now we're never alone... Yeah we're never alone... No we're never alone...

I hope you miss me when you first wake up, And take that first sip from your coffee cup. I hope you miss me when it’s time to leave, I hope you miss me driving past my street. I hope you miss me when you’re on your phone, And you scroll past all of my recent posts. I hope you miss me when it starts to rain, And you can’t find that coat you swore i gave you. Ooo ooo, You must have got confused, Because you rejected that, too. I hope you miss me when you order in, And you can’t finish all your chicken wings. I hope you miss me when it’s time for bed, And no one laughs at that cute thing you said. Tee-hee, I hope you feel so free, Because no one loves you like me... Nobody loves you like me... Like me...

You forgot about me years ago... But I can see your face in the falling snow, Hands tucked in the pockets of your black wool coat. You never thought twice about letting go... But I can feel your lips in the morning glow, Brighter than the future that we’ll never know. You forgot about me years ago... But I still see your face in the falling snow, Laughing like the first time that we ever spoke. You were all I wanted, And then you cut me down to size. You were all I wanted, And you don’t even recognize. You’re still all I want and, Even after all this time... You’re still all I want and, You don’t even have to try... You were all I wanted... You’re still all I want and...

I hate you so very much, I hope that you die. You piece of shit you fucking suck, I hope that you die. And I’m not sorry, I feel so strongly. You’re just so ugly inside. And I hope that you die. I hate you so very much, I hope that you die. You little prick, I’ve had enough, And I hope that you die. And we’d deserve it. I feel we’ve earned it. It’d be so perfect, I’d cry. And I hope that you die. I hate you so very much, I hope that you die. You piece of shit you fucking suck, I hope that you die. Said you little prick I've had enough, And I hope that you die. I hope that you die...

Say goodbye, say goodbye like eleven times, Conversations that I never seem to mind, It’s fine. It’s fine. Take my ear, take my time, and a piece of my heart, It’s the least I can give when we’re so far apart, It’s fine. It’s fine. No, don’t worry about me or what’s to come, It’s the love that I offer that lingers on. And I know you can’t be here and you have to run, but I, I’m content to say goodbye. Tell the stories I’ve heard like a million times, Every detail etched deep within your mind, It’s fine. It’s fine. Don’t you worry about me or what’s to come, It’s the love that I offer that lingers on. And I know you can’t be here and you have to run, but I, I’m content to say goodbye. Don’t you worry about me or what’s to come, It’s the love that I offer that lingers on. And I know you can’t be here and you have to run, But my time is approaching, My time has come, and I, I’m content to say goodbye.

Take it slow, Take a breath. Comb your hair, Love yourself. Forget about what you want, Forget about anyone else. Forget about where you are, Love yourself. Take it slow, Take a breath. Wash your face, Love yourself. Push it aside, You’re so much more with less. Don’t you think you have the time, To go and love yourself? Because you’re beautiful, You’re wonderful, You’re everything you could be and, You are the best you in the land! Take it slow, Take a breath. Pour yourself a cup of tea, Love yourself. Wrap yourself in your sheets, Love yourself. Order in a Chinese feast, And love yourself. Write a silly song you mean, Love yourself. Love yourself.

Watch it grow, Watch it change, Watch the sky for rain, Watch it fall. Watch it fall. Watch the pools start to form, Watch the minnow born, Watch it crawl. Watch it crawl. I believe our feeling are, Evolving like a dying star. Collapsing in upon themselves, Creating blackhole dissonance. Explore. Behold. The unknown. The everchanging wheel of growth. Watch the seed start to to root, Watch the flowers bloom. Watch them fall, In an autumn storm. Watch the plans start to form, Watch them trail off. Watch them change. Maybe another day. I’m convinced that nothing dies, Just larva metamorphized. No resemblance to what came before, But often times more beautiful. Revive. Reborn. Realized. Rewriting what was on that wall.
