No Wonder She's Alone

No wonder she's alone when all she talks about is space.
It's shame she's stuck at home and not in your face.
We live in prisons of our own design.
She's fucked up, but says she's fine.
I wait by your window
and at the sound of your voice,
my heart explodes.
I tip-toe through your garden,
but at night I lie awake
wide-eyed on the ground.
Picking scar tissue like a lock because there is no key
of what could possibly unlock you and me.
Hearts broken on parade.
And we're too calloused to feel a thing.
I wait by your window
and at the sound of your voice,
my heart explodes.
I tip-toe through your garden,
but at night I lie awake
wide-eyed on the ground.
No wonder I'm alone when all I talk about is space
Inclined to watching sci-fi shows inside a TV daze.
I've built a prison of my own design,
but my heart's on my sleeve, it's on the line...

Gotta Get Out

Gotta get out of this house,
gotta get out of this room,
gotta get out of this skin
so baptize my bones, I'm leaving soon
And you say,
"Don't it make you crazy,
down all night cuz
no one believes in you?
Feeling like you're
standing still while the world moves around you,
but they don't know you like I do."
Gotta get out of this state,
gotta get out of this town,
gotta get out of this country
and turn that frown upside down.
And you say,
"Don't it make you crazy,
down all night cuz
no one believes in you?
Feeling like you're
standing still while the world moves around you,
but they don't know you like I do!"
And you say,
"Don't it make you crazy,
down all night cuz
no one believes in you?
Feeling like you're
standing still while the world moves around you,
but they don't know you like I do!"
"You gotta get out of this house"
(You call me out)
"You gotta get out of this room"
(You call me out)
"You gotta get out of this bed"
(You call me out)
"You gotta get out!"

I'm Feeling Lost!

I'm feeling lost and I'm living all over you.
Say what you want, still don't know what I'm gonna do.
If that's me, what's your -
I'm feeling lost and I'm living all over you
Say what you want, still don't know what I'm gonna do.
If that's me, what's your Truth?
Just say what you're going to!
Don't know whether I should
sleep or hide,
laugh or cry,
live or die!
This separation never came easily
A negative mantra on loop repeatedly.
on loop repeatedly, on loop repeatedly...
And so I tell you what you mean to me!
You say you don't know whether to
sleep or hide
laugh or cry
live or die...

Talk Me Down

Talk me down from this ledge.
Swear I'll never hurt you again.
Talk me down, but make it hard.
My heart is distant and miles apart
from my soul because it knows
every single "I do" and "I don't".
So talk me down, but hold me close
cuz I am feeling close to the edge,
I'm almost to the edge...
And so you'll picture me and nights I've spent
feeling abandoned and broken.
You know, Michelle is strong but deep inside
she and I are filled with tears uncried.
Oh, I let go when I'm alone.
It's about time I got off this phone,
dry my eyes, and count to twelve.
Pinky promise, never tell.
Don't you ever, ever tell...
Talk me down from this ledge,
swear I'll never hurt you...

All Your Books
02:42

I'm pacing the floor
thinking about the morning after
that I never had,
cuz no one's loved me that way...
Well I know what you're thinking -
shut your mouth.
What a stupid thing for a girl to cry about.
Still, I feel left out.
I'm being myself,
just like all your books said
but they don't ever talk about
failure of a future and lonely nights.
Well maybe, maybe
it won't be that bad.
Maybe I could be the best goddamn friend I ever had...
But still, it makes me sad.
Is there something wrong with me, something wrong with me
if I don't feel normal?
Is there something wrong with me, something wrong with me
if I don't wanna feel at all?
Is there something wrong with me, something wrong with me
if I don't feel normal?
Is there something wrong with me, something wrong with me?
