Well she said, "I'm south bound, they promised to fix my head. Well ain't that a pretty sound? I guess they're holding out for me yet. Well, mama's been crying since my hands got cold. But my father's been drier than the blood on my nose. We might as well, huh? When I get clean again the fun will end. For old times sake. You killed me first and you taste like hell. I only keep you around cause you're bad for my health."

I guess I’m talking to myself Your eyes on the mirror I guess you’re somewhere else. You say you know me well. But you don’t know to think with out somebody’s help. And I’ve been fucking round town, with the window’s down, just to feel the wind move through the air. And you’ve been moving your mouth, Just to hear the sound, It doesn’t matter if nobody’s there. Well don’t you ever wonder? Can’t you feel it falling down from time to time? Don’t you ever want more? Don’t you ever feel alone inside your mind? Cause I do. I guess I should’ve moved on, I float around like a ghost in this house, but I’m too tired to haunt. And you couldn’t care, never feel me there. And I’ve been making things worse, just to feel the hurt, because it’s better than not feeling at all. And you’ve been slurring your words, wearing shorter skirts, because you love it when the boys look. You kiss that cigarette the way you used to kiss my neck. I am smoke in your hair, the purpose in pretense. Wash me all away, and spill out your reasons.

BAD LUCK 04:18
NEW EP "BUZZKILL" AVAILABLE 1.20.17 Lyrics: Draw a breath, quiet choke Calm as chaos, clear as smoke Sleeping giants are best left to lie Take a rest, dig a hole make a bed, call it home The little voice inside is sparking fires My heart cares but my hands can't find the phone I wish you well but I wake up and I'm throwing stones It's not fair but I guess that's just the way it goes My head is no place to roam Take it back, it's not too late to say you don't mean love at all Your best bet is walking away You know I'm bad luck, baby Walk on Draw a breath, take it slow Talk yourself out of the world The words are pretty but pretty is pretty worthless And if you don't then now you know My scars will swallow you whole I'll show you empty if empty is what you're chasing My heart cares but my hands break all I touch, I know you swear you can take it but it's all too much It's not fair but I guess that;s just the way it goes My head is no place to roam So you You don't want this, darling Oh you You don't know what you're starting Oh, you know it's bad, bad news. You know I'm bad luck baby. It's not some trick, I just think you know better Can't be fixed and no, we can't save each other It's not some game, and I don't wanna play Cause the tensions thick but it's not worth it I'm a hurricane but I'm coming quick So walk away you don't wanna stay. You know I'm bad luck, baby.

LOUD 05:02
Empty space. All of the people that you let take my place I can feel you leave with every breath I take. oh, I wish you'd stay, but I know I've changed. and it's best this way. well don't you remember? we were gonna get married. we were gonna be happy. but you fell, and I landed. I know I promised forever, but do you think it could wait? you said, "I love you but you think too loud. and I'd love to but it hurts me to hang around." I'm shallow and selfish, and you're patient and your selfless. and I won't blame you, I won't dare to. "I love you, but you think too loud." and I'd love to be every bit every piece of what you need. but my heart won't lend that part of me. I said, "take your time, step away." I'll swear I'll love you all the same. but I never thought you'd listen, till I felt the bed grow cold. don't you remember? we were gonna get married, but we forgot to be happy and you fell, and I landed. I know you promised forever, but those were far better days. we were careless, we were only fooling ourselves. we're well versed, self learned at running like hell. I hope you still love me, is that fucked up to say? I'm happy that you're happy but I'm hurting either way. (only always) credits

UNDONE 04:19
i said, "i don't mind if we spin me round." an easy burn, a calmer nerve. a casual comedown. i don't mind just one more go around. i'm sober still, and overkill might finally figure me out. but now we're inside, and i don't feel right. my god, i've turned my knuckles white. you say, "kid, are you alright" but i lost my shoes in the lack of light. my lungs, they burn, for the kitchen door. my visions blurred and it starts to pour. i'm blackout barefoot in the rain. again. oh. i know i'm all undone. maybe there's no romance in being numb. but the devil's lips are a Judas kiss, cause they burn like hell, but it's so honest. i feel it, love, i'm all undone. i don't mind, i'll sleep under dome light. you say it's just a bad trip, but you don't believe it. please don't lie, i'm not fine. i'm out of touch, and shaken up, and far from my right mind. is it over yet? i swear i felt you miss me in the swing of my head from the wheel to the seat so the drivers side where i'll sleep. in hopes that i might feel you breathe. when i find strength and find my feet, and the drugs wear off, and i find relief. i'm only left with memories of what it's like to feel you leave.
