Eight yellow hearts
Seven changing stars
Six socials down
Five and you’re the clown
Four and we’re growing quick
Three more to go
Two you’re almost done
Now you’re alone one
Grades go by until they’re just numbers
Growing up, changing faster than I thought
I can’t even recognize the girl in the mirror
I take and I take until I don’t know what I want
A statue, a reflection
A tired look on her face
She’s staring back at me
Through an infinite space
The closed door drifts away, drifts away
Just another day

Invisible Creatures

It feels like I’m fighting a war inside my head
The pain is never ending trapped here with a creature in my bed
I don’t want to give up another time
It’s when my breath is short and my eyes are wide
I just wanna have a good time
Without seeing stars and going blind
Not to be a pessimist but I don’t know if I will make it in this big wide world
I’m scared
This anxiety is really getting to me
This green eyed monster is eating a hole from deep inside of me
Imagine a world like that
Invisible creatures
Invisible creatures
Imagine the times like that
Invisible creatures
Invisible creatures
And there used to be spark in my eyes when I was happy
And that spark oh it died the first time I saw you
you silently laughing
And you were laughing at me
And I hate that I’m afraid I hate the feeling that I hide away
And my poor knees shake
And with the effort that I have I try to stay so strong
no sad for you I’m trying
Not to be a pessimist but I don’t know if I will make it in this big wide world
I’m scared
This anxiety is really getting to me
This green eyed monster is eating a hole from deep inside of me
Imagine a world like that
Invisible creatures
Invisible creatures
Imagine the times like that
Invisible creatures
Invisible creatures

Chamomile

I wish you’d love me like chamomile
Take me to your safe place now
I wish you’d hold me so carefully
But my head’s too far up in the clouds
And i would take your hand in mine
And i would smile and pretend it’s alright
I notice when you stare off to space
I notice when you look far away
For something that’s out there
I keep hoping that you'll come back the same
But for now all that i ask is that you don’t run too far away
Away
Away
And the light are blinding
I hope you’ll see again
With the purple findings
That will take a second chance
It’s the same movie scene
Over and over in my head
And it’s poor Bill and poor you
Stuck in the same yellow town
I notice when you stare off to space
I notice when you look far away
For something that’s out there
I keep hoping that you'll come back the same
But for now all that i ask is that you don’t run too far away
Away
Away
Just a second
To spend some time with you
I will be there
Right by your side ooo
I notice when you stare off to space
I notice when you look far away
For something that’s out there
I keep hoping that you'll come back the same
But for now all that i ask is that you don’t run too far away
Away
Away

Perfect Illusion

The world we live in is a perfect illusion
It’s not what you think it’s always flu season
It’s too soon for holidays
Even the sky is grey
The world we live in is an overcrowded subway
Fall asleep
Floating away when we
Gradually dance on the moon
And it’s all complete
Forget all your worries
We’re drifting away with the stars
Fall asleep
Floating away when we
Gradually dance on the moon
And it’s all complete
Forget all your worries
We’re drifting away with the stars
We’re drifting away with the stars
A cloudless november leading into december
Where santa’s small helpers are barely remembered
It's a purple childhood with rats as friends and family
And now we’re spinning absently in a subway car that’s empty
Fall asleep
Floating away when we
Gradually dance on the moon
And it’s all complete
Forget all your worries
We’re drifting away with the stars
We’re drifting away with the stars
We’re drifting away with the stars
We’re drifting away with the stars

Water Can't Mix

We’re always seeing things that don’t make sense
And when it’s gone we want it back and it’s all undone
In comes the riptide the blues of the sea
In the end it’s just you and me
When somebody’s wanted it’s always you
And when the end began the sky was barely blue
I hope you know we’ll be okay at the end of the day
But you promised me one day you’ll say sorry again
I wanna run away
to the place that I call home
And things will stay frozen stay frozen from melting
And we won’t have to worry to worry about moving to Mars
8 years may seem like endless time
But not enough to fix your thoughtless mind
Paper to plastic
Glaciers to water
Saneness to madness
Now it’s on your sons and daughters
Sons and daughters
Do you remember
When September was cold
And full of brown leaves
Not your average bedtime story
To put the trees to sleep
I wanna run away
to the place that I call home
And things will stay frozen stay frozen from melting
And we won’t have to worry to worry about moving to Mars
