hello, Japan
I wanna go to Japan with you Sit on the plane next to you Throw up in a bag and then apologise for being a stinky little doodoo Walk around with my belly out like freaking Winnie the Pooh But you don't mind when we’re intertwined, I’ll do everything with you And when the world ends, we’ll be holding hands Just like winners do I love you

CRY
I don’t trust the fall when they look like you dark hair, brown eyes hopeful as the night sky Pull the curtains close cause I feel so lonely letting you down come back around Don’t wanna be dramatic but I wish we’d never met cause wanting you has held me back from the afterlife now I don’t wanna die I wake up to your skies never want to see you cry When the fight has gone, I feel so dirty empty inside, nowhere to hide Wanna look to you but the damage is done I got no where

DRIVE-BY
I saw your dads car drive by On the street along my place Not sure if I’m making shit up But the brake lights blinked and bet you saw my face So why didn’t you run me over? Pick my body off the street I would’ve done anything for you, before I learnt how to breathe But I miss my face, when you made me smile I complicate things, self destruct when loving me gets tiring These days I miss it when you drive by, leave your things by my bed side take my clothes off in the dark Bu

YELLOW PAINT
Don’t wanna be friends forever Think your deal’s almost done You were marshal at the end of our road and I think you should know, It stopped being fun I don’t care about my birthday You celebrate me but it’s just for fun It is what it is then I won’t have your joy when you were the cause of all my harm So say you mean it, release our knots I’ve untied mine, you’re never in my thoughts Cause you’re sunshine every single day You fill the room with yellow paint But only I can sm

without you
All my friends are moving away Everyone has places to be I try my best and when it all falls apart The burnout feels so lonely And arms by my side, I’m frozen in place I don’t wanna be left alone Still the world moves on, Longing is love passed on But I’ve just gotten used to Breathing around you So how will I do this without you? What can I say when they all go away? Has everything I’ve built gone to waste? If this life is lived with pieces received, Then how am I still so

NOTHING IS OK RN
Tell me something I don’t know Tell me how, you say you’re happy but somehow I doubt, (I’ve seen it before, I’ve seen it before, I’ve seen it before) You say you write your own story but I found words you’ve taken from others are you proud? (head in the clouds, head in the clouds, head in the clouds) Nothing is ok right now I don’t wanna fix you if your head’s in the clouds I love you in circles baby but when you come close I feel so ugly nothing is ok right now there’s n

SKiiN
I’ve been making mistakes I drink way too much, think I’ve had enough and I feel so strange, got your breath caught in my lungs, release it with a gun cause I’ve looked down the bottom of the barrel don’t know what lies ahead but I’m still too scared to follow these blossoms they start across your shoulders they bleed onto my spine, please don’t leave me behind Cause I’ll bloom into these wild thoughts my body goes into shock and it’s on you, you’re everything that I see no

AHHH
I’m so angry at everything you do it’s not me it’s you. You did everything right, but I’m not proud of you. So I’ve taken down whatever reminds me of you, have you seen how far we’ve come? Can you hear me through your skull when I’m screaming I wanna see you sorry and I don’t wanna wipe your tears dry. But what is this feeling in me, crumbling? Heavy inside, I’m twisting, gutting. Everything that I’ve said, everything that we’ve shared I take it all back. I feel better afte

MY BEST
If I'm not ready by 9.30, call the ambulance. Tell them something's up. I've run out of luck, I don't give a fuck When hospital fees get a little exorbitant, use what I have for rent. Just kidding, I'll never make enough. If i stand on the highest hill, will you still bring me down? Set my fucking hair on fire, do i still get a crown? Cause i'm trying my best, but everything is a mess. I wish, I wish we never met. Yeah cause I'm trying my best, so give it a rest. Take this hu

back to me
I wanna be, I wanna be beautiful I wanna be, I wanna be just like you I don’t want this body, If being me is never good enough for you I don’t search for love over the mirror Or over the way he looks at me. If I could be lighter, look a little brighter, Will you come running back to me? Put on my skin, and I feel so clean. When the cuts between my fingers sink so deep. Cause when I look at the avalanche, I wonder if you’ll ever understand you’re not the one to hold my ha
