Mirror Mirror

I've been looking into mirrors
in search for who I truly am
cause I have a confession
I don't have a plan
I stare into my eyes
& hope my soul will realize
the answers that I seek
while I am paralyzed
Heyyy
Mirror mirror on the wall
will I make it or will I fall
I just want to know
will I be okay?
The fraud police will surely find
that I've been faking all this time
I'm asking for some help to succeed
my ideas are in motion
crashing into an explosion
sometimes I can't keep hold of my emotions
Heyyy
Mirror mirror on the wall
will I make it or will I fall
I just want to know
will I be okay?
Sometimes art is really dumb
the message is left undone
though touching the artwork makes it a bit more fun
I speak the words as clear as day
though no one seems to relate
where did we leave the meanings we say?
I've been looking into mirrors
in search for who I truly am
cause I have a confession
I don't have a plan
I stare into my eyes
& hope my soul will realize
the answers that I seek
while I am paralyzed
Heyyy
Mirror mirror on the wall
will I make it or will I fall
I just want to know
will I be okay?
maybe someday

Ghosts & Lamp Posts
03:09

Imagined conversations with ghosts
walking past flickering lamp posts
and yet it's you I think about the most
yes it's you, it's always you
when will you leave my mind alone?
I see your face in a passerby
I hope it's you but I can't lie
to myself once again 'cause I know
it'll never be you
why can't I let you go?
You always seem to appear in my dreams
and I wish that sometimes you would just leave
but then I may never see you again
oh how can I let you go
when will your haunting end?
Summer seems to go so fast
I never seem to make it last
you never let me know why did you go
rip me up and then you leave
your absence tore right through me
I cant fix what I can't sew
Imagined conversations with ghosts
walking past flickering lamp posts
and yet it's you I think about the most
yes it's you, it's always you
when will you leave my mind alone?

Coffee & Lemon Juice
03:54
|

|
I feel like coffee and lemon juice
no cream or sugar to be of use
guess I'm no ones cup of tea
I laughed when you said your friend had died
I'm such a jerk
thank god you had lied
smoke on the porch thinking maybe you'll leave
I ripped my dress
I'm such a mess
not sure why I came here I confess
hand me another glass of wine
no one here remembers me
except the host of this damn party
let's just keep pretending that I'm fine
and I feel like a ticking time bomb
and I don't know what to do
gotta figure out some way to diffuse
I should just get up and leave
but what would I ever achieve
from running
from running
from running
my boss is driving me insane
texting me all that she can't say
passive aggressive to a fault
hate my job so I guess I'll quit
but now I'm always broke I admit
don't know where to go from here
and I feel like a ticking time bomb
and I don't know what to do
gotta figure out some way to diffuse
I should just get up and leave
but what would I ever achieve
from running
from running
from running
I feel like coffee and lemon juice
no cream or sugar to be of use
won't you darling hand me another glass of wine?
I feel like coffee and lemon juice
no cream or sugar to be of use
guess I'm no ones cup of tea
I feel like coffee and lemon juice
no cream or sugar to be of use
guess I'm no ones cup of tea

Breakaway

2am wandering 'round the city
police lights on, you sure are pretty
play that record it skips again
throw it out the window then
oh why does it have to be this way
I can't take it stay away
you lie to much
I need a break
a breakaway
oh why can't you realize the pain
that you're causing every day
it breaks my heart
I need a break
a breakaway
I dreamt of you last night
you stopped by my place to have a fight
you let yourself right in
I never told you where I lived
oh why does it have to be this way
I can't take it stay away
you lie to much
I need a break
a breakaway
oh why can't you realize the pain
that you're causing every day
it breaks my heart
I need a break
a breakaway
you only think about yourself
never anybody else
can't ever help you
when you don't know what you do
we used to be such good friends
that's what I thought til its end
cause you never cared at all
just leave my life and never call
you only think about yourself
never anybody else
can't ever help you
when you don't know what you do
we used to be such good friends
that's what I thought til its end
cause you never cared at all
just leave my life and never call

I don't think the ice cream man
likes me very much
after he noticed me from a distance
flippin' him off
oh I don't like the ice cream truck
no, not very much
it blasts its speakers all the time & I
can't hear anything (oh)
fuck you ice cream truck
I hate that stupid song you play too much (woah)
fuck you ice cream truck
I wish you would just go away
& it's not that I don't like ice cream
I like it very much
I just hate the tuck & it's music
blasting too fucking much
the windows are all shut
& music plays throughout the house
yet I can still hear it
three blocks away
I want to do some work
I want to take a nap
I want to do something without
that stupid tune always playing
outside my window every summer day
fuck you ice cream truck
I hate that stupid song you play too much (woah)
fuck you ice cream truck
I wish you would just go away
fuck you ice cream truck
I hate that stupid song you play too much (woah)
fuck you ice cream truck
I wish you would just go away
I wish you would just go away

oh how do I get over you
when I always miss you
I think about you every day
though you don't feel the same
you don't feel the same way
I wish I could reach out and kiss you
but it'll never come true
I know, I swear I do
no I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you
How I long to have you in my arms
'cause I adore you
I know that you'll go away
it'll happen someday
it'll happen someday
I wish I could reach out and kiss you
but it'll never come true
I know, I swear I do
no I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you
I'm not the one for you

7 years old I left you a voicemail
a decade later I'd see you again
now 22 and screaming at you
"why did you never answer?"
pop another pill right in
will tonight be the night genetics win
ruby red lips died the night I said goodbye
said goodbye
falling down the up escalator
will I ever catch myself
or will I keep on leaning
back... back...
so flexible in the way she bends her soul
around other people
her bones are breaking
hands are shaking
she falls to her knees
why can't I help her please?
falling down the up escalator
will I ever catch myself
or will I keep on leaning
back... back...

Smoke for the Taste
01:43
|
|||
|
you smoke for the taste
rather than the high
because your darkest dreams don't lie to you
oh but they do
and while you stand waiting for a ride
I slip away to go and hide from you
sad how it's true
oh lies, lies are like apple pies
where truths don't match your alibis
your eyes don't lie so why try that rouse
if this is some game you chose to lose
so many years have gone by
and yet you seem to haunt my mind still
it's nothing new
I say your name a thousand times
so I can be desensitized from you
sad how it's true

Last to Let Go
03:16
|
|||
|
I wish I could've told you the truth
one I had yet to learn
maybe then you could've learned to let go
oh but baby how was I s'posed to know
and now you're gone without a trace
now I never get to see your face
text me saying thanks for the last five years
oh it's worse than I ever feared
I wish I could've told you the truth
one I had yet to learn
maybe then you could've learned to let go
oh but baby how was I s'posed to know
I wish I still had your number
I wish you hadn't deleted your facebook
I wish I'd done things so many other ways
you left and it has never felt okay
I ignored you because I was ashamed of your love
because I loved you too
but it wasn't the same
I wish I could've told you the truth
one I had yet to learn
maybe then you could've learned to let go
oh but baby how was I s'posed to know
oh but baby how was I s'posed to know
oh but baby how was I s'posed to know
that I'd be the last to let go

Get Out
04:00
|
|||
|
I woke up next to nothing
got lost in my own head
spent too much money
for new sheets on the bed
you said that you heard me
when I'd asked if you listened
and I learned the hard way
no you won't be forgiven
just get out now
get out of my house
leave me alone
no you can't have a damn cigarette
just go
and never let me see your face ever again
no you're not my friend
you can memorize your lines
but never grasp its meaning
I ignored the pain for so long
'til I broke down one evening
I why do I ever even try
I don't know whether to scream or cry
just get out now
get out of my house
leave me alone
no you can't have a damn cigarette
just go
and never let me see your face ever again
no you're not my friend
I always wanted to be seen
now I've got their attention
they're all looking at me
but it's not the same thing
just get out now
get out of my house
leave me alone
no you can't have a damn cigarette
just go
and never let me see your face ever again
no you're not my friend
just get out now
get out of my house
leave me alone
no you can't have a damn cigarette
just go
and never let me see your face ever again
no you're not my friend

To Thinking Rationally
02:10
|
|||
|
I don't know
whether I'm making this up
or is it all in my head
are you hurt?
are you fine?
did you even notice or care?
'cause I'm lying in my bed
with all these spirals in my head
just waiting for the kick-in of all of these meds
hoping to calm the tightness in my chest
oh all I wanna do
is apologize to you
but I'm not even sure
if I'm thinking rationally
I can't stop thinking
should I say
something or nothing
oh I just don't know what's right
right now
oh all I wanna do
is apologize to you
but I'm not even sure
if I'm thinking rationally
