Sidewinder 02:42
I’m a wave in the ocean, You’re a tree in the orchard I’m out like I’m under, Stuck deep in your soil From my chest, to my head, To the breath on your neck, Silhouettes and regrets Now replace you instead Spit me out Do you feel empty? ‘Cause your whispers consume me They grow deeper, They shake me and they linger I’m a renegade and a sinner You’re a blue bird in the winter, Disguising the way you hide Like a sidewinder You lack in conviction, So suffer in silence With self medication And its sour elation I’ve been muting the colours on my skin I’ve been matching the distance that you bring I fall asleep to the pressure, That I can’t make this better, ‘Cause you won’t let me further in Spit me out You could’ve used some respect, Instead you played with my head And now I’ll never let you go, I’m on the side of the fence you don’t call home Sidewinder wake me in the dead of night So you can take me to the place you hide.

Mess I Made 02:17
There’s gotta be a better way to let this be told, Don’t know why you wanna stay when I act so cold Drop my thoughts alone, I never had my own, ‘Cause I’m lost inside, I wanna fall into paradise It’s killing me, killing me, I got this far on my own Just colour me, colour me, I’m so afraid Underneath all of the mess that I have made I don’t wanna fade away, let it slip off my tongue What’s another day awake with a twist in my lungs? Drown in doubts alone, I’ve always had my own, ‘Cause I’m lost inside, Someone take me home Try to find my way around the honest answers It’s killing me just living in the mess I made I fell into a river of all my own disasters and Wash away the worst and leave me clean.

Push 03:40
I thought we had a good thing going, I never thought you’d be so cunning Lightening in a dark room, honey, Fine until it hits your body I’m stuck in the living room, Pace through my thoughts of you There’s fire in the way you choose To let your heavy heart stay bruised As I carry it home with me, And the weight of everything Push on my cold lungs and break me swiftly, Just take what you want, but I won’t make it easy Take what you want from me, I’m sure I made it easy, not being what you needed Say what you want, you always do Nothing new You couldn’t leave your words uncovered, I never thought you’d leave so sudden Underneath the roof we’re flooding, Currents wrap around our bodies And it kept me deceptive To a bed dipped in poison Just take what you want, but I won’t make it easy I’m sick of waiting, Just contemplating our past mistakes And misguided chase scenes My mind is made up, enough is enough So take what you want.

I don’t wanna say goodbye, Can we just say goodnight? Tell me how to change your mind Over coffee at midnight Sink into my trust again, keep me un-composed, Teach me how to love again, thinking of yourself, ‘Cause patience is poison just watching you come and go, I guess there’s no use in hanging around Words you’re spitting out, something I can live without, At least you can be happy now I don’t wanna say goodbye Can we just say goodnight? Tell me how to change your mind Over coffee at midnight If you’re gonna say goodbye, Would it be alright? If only I could change your mind Over coffee at midnight If you feel that lonely now, tell me that you don’t, I didn’t put my feet to concrete just for you to call me home, Not sorry if you miss me now, it’s not my fault that we hit the ground, If you’re no damn good for my mental health There’s no use in hanging around So I’ll keep pretending like everything’s fine, Like we’re saying goodnight and not our goodbyes, Now it’s too late, I don’t wanna walk away, but I’m not just gonna sit and wait.

Chemicals 03:28
The chemicals swirl inside of my head, I never lost sight of what I wanted, I just had a change of plan, I hope you understand Put yourself inside of my shoes And fit the piece I’m forced to mould to, It’d be such a waste, So fuck your empty space Tell me I’m wrong Am I pressing on your thoughts again? I’m already gone So don’t get used to me saying I’m sorry ‘Cause I’m too busy feelin’ alright, I don’t owe you anything Why do you separate my skin? I’m in amongst the doubt, But at least I can say I gave my everything, If you won’t even hear me out, then don’t ask why (Don’t waste my time) Tug on everything that I have, Discomposure is my best friend, Just when I’m wrapped so safe, It forces things to change, I’ll take pleasure over pressure, Thicker skin in dirty weather, Go and pick apart the things we do, But it’ll never mend your broken bad mood The chemicals swirl inside my head, Through static nerves that don’t connect, If this grey matter is all we get I’ll do everything that I can To make sure chemicals will react And help myself to stay in tact, If this grey matter is all we get Then I don’t wanna waste it on your shallow breath.
