Grace 03:21
Woke up late in the evening. Phone gone raisin as time could tell. The boy left tracks, you didn't eat them up. All I see is blue, what a shell. This holy book's looking kind beaten He sees them. No reason. Is anyone even there? All he needed was some company. Company. All that on heaven's grace. That boy is losing faith. Among the places and faces he's never seen. He's sees his to be queen Just in his reach now All he needed was some company. Company. All that on heaven's grace. That boy is losing faith. Among the places and faces he's never seen. It's funny just to dream. That's all he needed. The dream. The dream. Buckling down, it's getting warmer around him. Why he chose those surroundings, we might never know. What does she need to be to make him satisfied? Will anyone gratify? This holy book's looking kind beaten He sees them. No reason. Is anyone even there? All he needed was some company. Company. All that on heaven's grace. That boy is losing faith. Among the places and faces he's never seen. He's sees his to be queen Just in his reach now All he needed was some company. Company. All that on heaven's grace. That boy is losing faith. Among the places and faces he's never seen. It's funny just to dream. That's all he needed. The dream. So close yet so far out of reach. How much time is left to see the peak. The dream.

White Heart 03:42
This one's on me. If I wanted to, I would have done it already That's what the law told me. You don't have to stick around, you can be lonely. If only. We still sparked it like that. Clean up these waters, we need a little bit of clarity. I would give it out if they could take it from me. I don't like to move, I get complacent only When the stars align, Capricorn energy. Sorry. Touch, talk, taste, I'm making enemy of these. She call on me, when she need that, But they ain't impressed with the feedback. With the feedback. So this one's on me. What's the end though? We ain't got nothing to say so we sitting here, chilling and playing Nintendo. These pipe dreams are something to gawk at but they don't hit you forever. Just remember. I'll remember. This one's on me. If I wanted to, I would have come back home. I am very lost. Bogged down with concern on what twitter thought. Cold white heart I couldn't defrost. I ain't made for this. I ain't made for this. I ain't made for this. I ain't tamed for this. My bloods fallen out, Left my heart pasty white. I want to move. (so bad) But my body won't budge. My bloods fallen out, Left my heart pasty white. I want to move. This sound like something... boy. These type keys are something to gawk at, but you don't live there forever. Just remember. I'll remember. That this one's on you. What's the end though? We ain't got nothing to say so we sitting here, chilling and playing Nintendo. These pipe dreams are something to gawk at but they don't hit you forever. Just remember. You'll remember. You'll remember.

To Stay Here 03:40
Don't mention the neighbors, how they want you to be You don't mean nothing to me. You don't mean nothing to me. Don't question the faith. How I want you to feel. You don't mean nothing to me at all. And you can't say that if I told you all them things, You wouldn't wanna hurt me. Have I told you? Have I told you? Have I told you? Have I? That if I told you all them things You wouldn't wanna hurt me. Have I told you? Have I told you? Have I told you? Have I? That's why you don't do them tings there. That's why you don't do them tings there. That's why you don't do them tings there. That's why we don't say them tings there. That's why we don't chat about that stuff. End up reenacting all the other ones. That's why you don't do them tings there. Seeing pictures of me and they're faded. When will I replace with new one's I ain't taken? Every time we talk about it, you say I'm vacant. I say that the camera's way down down down in the basement. You say I'm lazy, to pick up the pace then "It's been a while since you took me to places. It's looking like you don't want me to stay here If there's something you wanna say then just say it. There's something you wanna-" You're looking deadly this evening I ain't gonna tease it, you know I don't need it. I can go well on without it. My mind and my body, they don't need the shouting. Cause you're looking deadly this evening. I took it to go, even though I didn't need it. That's why we don't do them tings there. That's why we don't do them tings there. So don't mention the neighbors, what they want you to be. They don't mean nothing to me. Cause we can talk it out. We can talk it out. . . .

I've been terrified "I'll admit, I've thinking about what you told me, I'll clarify I'll admit, I've been drowning a bit. That's the old me, I'm gemini." That's the speech I recite in the mirror, I can't even recognise. One event and I'm asking for praise, oh lord. I've been in this place to long. When will I stop singing this song? You were never meant to go, but who am I to tell you "no". Just wish it wasn't business, that left us like it did. That left us like it did, don't mean you couldn't revisit. I'm in your place of business, looking for my escape. Your thing was my escape. Now I can say I tried. While she was away, I felt so alive. I felt like the world was crawling up beneath me, You can't see me in the cut. While she was away, I felt so alive. I felt like my time was dragging like a queen Please believe me, I ain't done. In those parts there, I felt it, I- Well didn't it get out of hand? This ain't how I like to plan. Water looking less and less clear, and tasting more and more sincere. Just wish it wasn't business, that left us like it did. That left us like it did, don't mean you shouldn't revisit. I'm in so deep, I'm sinking, just cause I know I can Just cause I know I'm dammed. Now I can say that I tried. Cause while she was away, I felt so alive. I felt like the world was crawling up beneath me, You can't see me in the cut. While she was away, I felt so alive. I felt like my time was dragging like a queen Please believe me, I ain't done. At that time there, I felt it, I-

They wouldn't talk to me, they wouldn't speak to me, they wouldn't message me. I didn't find the faith, I didn't fix the ish, I just went to sleep. I didn't give myself no time to sit back and just take the feels. These lot come to tempt, I endulge them anyways to keep the peace. They were just prey for me, they were just prey for me, they wouldn't pray for me. They were just prey for me, they wouldn't pray for me, not in these days or weeks. And I wrote a question paper, a test I made graciously And I asked, and I asked her, and I asked and I asked her. And I asked her why she told me to leave. And I asked her why we couldn't try again. Did I want it or was it just too easy? Cause after all this time, you would think that I might know you. After all this time, you wouldn't think I'd end up chasing gravel that you've stepped on. That just ain't the way. There were talks with you/me in a hall of mirrors, it made me deaf. I/you was telling you/me "what a way to go", and "it's for the best". You/I didn't understand if I/you praised you/me or it just meant 'the end' If the only way is up then you/I know that I'm/you're heading there. But it was just prey for me, it was just prey for me, it wouldn't pray for me. It was just prey for me, it wouldn't pray for me, not in these days or weeks. And I/you wrote a question paper, a test I/you made graciously And I/you asked for the answer, and I/you asked and I/you asked her. And I asked her why she told me to leave. And I asked her why we couldn't try again. Did I want it or was it just too easy? Cause after all this time, you would think that I might know you. After all this time, you wouldn't think I'd end up chasing gravel that you've stepped on. That just ain't the way. After all this time, you wouldn't think I'd end up chasing shadows that you've slept on. That just ain't the way.
