Veins (Demo) 03:31
3/24/16 Come over on a cheap afternoon Taste the air in the shadowy room Switch my moods with a light in your eyes, dark glow Patch the holes in your disguise Cause I've been waiting for moments like this to come on And take me by surprise, every time When I look in the mirror, I wonder "what am i doing here With the veins under your skin?" Bounce ideas off each other with grace Never question why we're here in this place City lights blink and transfer your thoughts, all around Oh what we'd give to just leave this town This is more than I bargained for Jumping with my heart in my hand Spring left and summers in full swing And you never said anything To put you feelings on display And let me know the truth today A time bomb before it starts to explode Its saving grace are the stones you used to throw Tied up and left for dead Don't let it go to your head When I saw you off at the station With a sideways look from your hazy eyes The train took off, no second glance So this is goodbye.

2/28/16 Drowned my feelings in a bath of neon lights The ones that glow in the house of people tonight A constant blur of unfamiliar faces I don’t know how I got so jaded It seemed to happen all at once From the dorms in the trees to the streets to the makeup smudged Across your face, you tried to perfect The times that you always will forget I’m having trouble seeing what I’m doing wrong At this time in my life, I’m more than a Dark cloud through the moving halls, a Blank space in the writing on the wall Now I know that I have made my mark In the minds of those who live in the dark Carefree decisions, the time of my life Regrets of morning pushed to the side I hated everything I’ve done I hated everything that I’ve become I hated everything about the things I do But now I fall under the tide, hold my head, I’m turning blue We didn't know that the sirens led this way We didn't know that the pillars fell today We didn't know that the kingdom crumbled down It was just a night out on the town We didn't see what the warning signs displayed We didn't see that their eyes were blind by rage Now it's too late to go back and make this right I've gone too far to go back and make this right I've gone too far, and I can't come back.

9/13/15 He found her in a smoky dream between the bottles Of hope and desperation Pink hues and bubblegum blue Coat the walls of the living room With glowing streamers and curtains ablaze From the truth hidden between the days Let's play a game of truth or dare How long do you expect to live? It takes all night, to fully digest These sins you never will forgive Pour your life, into your mouth, "I hate the way my voice sounds" "Why can't I feel anything?" Take a seat on this little ride A couple drinks will show what's inside this locket heart with a faded scene This picture remains a faded memory Sometimes I get the strangest feeling, that I've hit a wall With eyes too dark and red to show Cleanse your wounds, with cigarettes and alcohol Cause the mind is too stable to explode She found him, on the bedroom floor with bedroom sores Asking "why would you do this to me?" By this time you're too late, the poisons entered my veins, and I can hear the bells sounding over the hills And there's no point in helping out Cause nothing can save me now Water in the lungs, and a fire in my head and in my soul Constantly surrounded by people that I dream of everyday So there's no point in helping out Cause nothing can save me now Don't let them in, don't let it show Don't let them in, don't let me go And I'll never find what I was looking for With you.

12/17/15 Let's give it a night, for counting all these jumping sheep And counting all the reasons for these little secrets you always keep And with this night all to myself, all I can picture is you with someone else But something we have in common, our hearts are beating just the same I need to hear those words on the last pages of every book I've ever read, in preparation for moments like this Those painful seven letters, one for every deadly day That we destroy under the guise of love, when we know in our hearts, "it's over" Like the time that i waited out in the pouring rain We froze along the sidewalk, waiting for the call of another game Or, when we drove along the highway wishing for something more But they say if you love something, you know you should let it go Now we're cold as icebergs, we started to drift apart A consequence that we knew right from the start Bring your matches, and burn what's standing in the way A thousand things to talk about, but a lack of meaningful things to say Jealousy in different forms, all manifest into something more There's nothing left for you to still believe So say goodbye to all the lies we said we'd never tell Say goodbye to all the late night conversations Say goodbye to all the thin plans of a white veil Cause this goodbye was never written in the constellations.

Watch (Demo) 03:07
9/30/15 Watch the death, of your childhood friends And go play in the shadows again They never called and they never said why When you passed them on the street, you never looked them in the eyes Watch the time slipping through your fingertips Embrace the skin-to-skin, ignore the color of the tulips, as they're Starting to consume everything you ever knew Drowning in their perfume as they cloud up your living room Watch me fall Watch me twirl Watch me burn Watch the cross, and the burning hillside Push away the demons swallowed up by the tide As I hand over the keys to a lighter time And struggle to spit out this last goodbye Douse the kerosene Light the fuse Watch me burn Watch me fall Watch me twirl Watch me burn This whole narrative comes undone You never could stop the flood Drive away from this empty air Sucked out from this truth or dare Watch me fall Watch me twirl Watch me burn.
