This is home
Often I am upset that I cannot fall in love but I guess
This avoids the stress of falling out of it
Are you tired of me yet?
I'm a little sick right now but I swear
When I'm ready I will fly us out of here
I'll cut my hair
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) To make you stare
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) I'll hide my chest
And I'll figure out a way to get us out of here
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Turn off your porcelain face
I can't really think right now in this place
There's too many colors enough to drive all of us insane
Are you dead? Sometimes I think I'm dead
Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head
But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet
My eyes went dark
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) I don't know where
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) My pupils are
But I'll figure out a way to get us out of here
Get a load of this monster
He doesn't know how to communicate
His mind is in a different place
Will everybody please give him a little bit of space
Get a load of this train-wreck
His hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet
But little do we know, the stars
Welcome him with open arms
Oh
Time is
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Slowly
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Tracing his face
But strangely he feels at home in this place (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Fool
I am just a fool to keep on chasing after nothing great
You are just a fool to keep pretending that you're loving me
I don't know where I'm supposed to go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh
Call me on the phone at three, I talk to you while half asleep
Complaining 'bout your mother so I take you to the cemetery
Rant to me I like the sound, I like your voice, I like your mouth
Oh, oh
Mm-mm-m
Cycling to school at 7:30 in the morning
I am still your baby boy I'm stuck in 2013
Don't understand my body, Washing machine confuses me
Oh, oh
Mm-mm-m
I am such a fool to keep on chasing after nothing great
You are such a fool to keep pretending that you're loving me
I don't know where I'm supposed to go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh
I was such a fool to keep on chasing after nothing great
You were such a fool to keep pretending that you're loving me
I don't know where I'm supposed to go
(Look in the mirror, I love that boy, don't hurt my dear, don't hurt my joy)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh-oh oh
Pigeon
Circling around the kitchen
Why has nothing changed?
Feed cucumber sandwich to a pigeon
Chipping nail varnish on guitar strings
Got a pillow case made out of money
Feelin' pretty fake when I wake up
Tissue paper castle paper caddy
Scaly little friend's got my backup
Didn't give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to
So honey, close your eyes and stay like you're supposed to do
Don't you wanna give me time to write another song for you?
Fuzzy feeling and I miss you
Why can nothing stay the same
Fucking stupid and I'm gonna kill you
Melt all your art and drink the paint
I am not a beast, I'm not a monster
I don't care what you say
You can't have the bad guys without a hero
And I'm the only one who's got a cape
Didn't give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to
So honey, close your eyes and stay like you're supposed to do
Don't know how I'm gonna live without, but I'll stay strong for you
Poison
Ease your breath, untie my hands
Release my neck, If you can
You don't have to be like that
Don't be afraid, there's nothing strange
It's not a trap
But there's cars coming closer
And I think they're trying to run me over
Poisoning my food
And putting drugs inside my water
There's ghosts in my house
And I can taste blood in my mouth
Don't be afraid, I'm not insane
Just irrational, but isn't that the same?
Lemon boy
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy"
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
I helped him plant his seeds
And we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So, I got myself a citrus friend
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
I found out that my friends are more of the savory type
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
I helped him plant his seeds
And we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
So, I got myself a citrus friend
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
What if the clouds run out of rain?
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
What if beaches dry of sugar cane?
Oh well
The whales start to beach themselves
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and little my, we'll get around wherever
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and little my, we'll get around wherever
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
And I got myself a citrus friend
Devil town
Life's alright in Devil Town
Yeah, right, no one's gonna catch us now
Dad has bought a new car now
We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now (okay)
You said something dumb again
She's mad, at least that's what they say
Mum and daddy aren't in love
That's fine, I'll settle for two birthdays
Devil Town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
We're all dead in Devil Town
That's fine 'cause nothing's gonna scare us now
We're all in our dressing gowns
Mine's white and stripy, yours is green and brown
I forgot my name again
I think that's something worth remembering
Spiders in your favourite shoes
Just leave them be 'cause they're more scared of you
Devil Town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
Devil Town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
Meteor Shower
I've got miles of regrets and confusing friends
But perhaps it's just my stupid head in the end
Thinking should I wait here or make my way home?
You said, "Go" (you said, "Go")
Making up problems that don't exist
Why do I let myself dream like this?
We're floating away, my body's in space
We are going home
Missing pieces of my skull
I'll sew on patches of my own soul
There's nothing you or I can do so let the stars fall
Cause from up here the sky's my thoughts and we're all so small
Meteor shower, quick take cover
But the hues in our hair compliment one another
I'd sell my own bones for sapphire stones
Cause blue's your favorite color
Missing pieces of my skull
I'll sew on patches of my own soul
There's nothing you or I can do so let the stars fall
Cause from up here the sky's my thoughts and we're all so small
We're all so
My heart and the earth share the same rule
It starts with love and it ends with you
But don't go outside, it's dangerous tonight
Without me right here by your side
Take it slow, you'll know
Which way to go
Sew up your skull
Take your time
And we'll be just fine
Missing pieces of my skull
I'll sew on patches of my own soul
Jack‘s song
I remember the view out the back of the car
Left the front door wide open
Maybe it's a sign that we shouldn't be going
I didn't realize it'd be so hard
You and me, sitting on the trampoline
I think one time we fell asleep
Woke up and felt like it'd been weeks
And now it truly has been
It wasn't meant to be but it's funny how
Life dealt this cheat
To someone who could handle it so well
And while you sleep in the pouring rain (Oh-oh-oh)
Just know I'll be with you someday (Oh-oh-oh)
And I'll have a good one 'til then (Oh-oh-oh)
Just like you told me (Oh-oh)
I wish we could've played that game sometime
I wish we'd talked more online
I'm glad you liked my picture
I stuck it up inside my locker
Becoming disconnected (Oh-oh)
Really puts into perspective (Oh-oh)
How important every friend is who makes you wanna live (Oh-oh-oh)
And this time it's okay to cry (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Black sweatpants and pasta with ketchup
When your sister ate the slug it was the grossest thing ever
Collecting beetles in the garden together
You're welcome anytime in my dreams
Muddy hands and climbing trees
Sink-tall while we brush our teeth
Striped shirts and hide and seek
It's all coming back to me
While you sleep on a sunny day
Just know I'll remember you always
And no matter how much it hurts
It's not goodbye, just see you later (Oh)
And while you sleep in the pouring rain (Oh-oh-oh)
Just know I'll be with you someday (Oh-oh-oh)
And I'll have a good one 'til then (Oh-oh-oh)
Just like you told me (Oh-oh)
another one of those days
Cycling down town
Thought the fresh air would pick me up
Up up and away from the ground
But there's no talking dog up here
Blowing up balloons with my dear
Hoped maybe I'd see a familiar face on my way
Passed by some cannabis seeds
It all smells exactly the same
I saw a girl in my dreams
But I don't remember her name
I guess it's just another one of those days
When I'm missing everything
Carousel round and round
Like a kid's toy you wind me up
And I've got nothing to say
So you just throw me in the dump truck
Hoping round the corner I'll see her
Passed that kid from chemistry
Who made fun of my name
He didn't look very happy
I guess we all turn out the same
I saw a girl in my dreams
She kissed me on the face
I guess it's just another one of those days
When I'm missing everything
When she shows up she can sit on my shoulders
Cause I'm so strong, I wish
Piggy back ride to the hill then we roll down
Feeling like kids for the rest of our lives
Hoping in the morning I'll meet her
But for now I'll just be lonely
And my arms will feel so bare
Dreaming 'bout her body round me
With my fingers in her hair
It might be so easy but I am just too scared
Cause I saw a girl in my dreams
But she doesn't like me
I saw a girl in my dreams
Talk to me
You don't have to be a hero to save the world
It doesn't make you a narcissist to love yourself
It feels like nothing is easy, it'll never be
That's alright, let it out, talk to me
You don't have to be a prodigy to be unique
You don't have to know what to say or what to think
You don't have to be anybody you can never be
That's alright, let it out, talk to me
Anxiety, tossing, turning in your sleep
Even if you run away, you still see them in your dreams
It's so dark tonight, but you'll survive, certainly
It's alright, come inside, and talk to me
We can talk here on the floor
On the phone, if you prefer
I'll be here until you're okay
Let your words release your pain
You and I will share the weight
Growing stronger day by day
It's so dark outside tonight
Build a fire warm and bright
And the wind, it howls and bites
Bite it back with all your might
Anxiety, tossing, turning in your sleep
Even if you run away, you still see them in your dreams
It's so dark tonight, it looks nice, fall asleep
It's alright, come inside, and talk to me
It’s u
I guess it's just another one of those nights
When I'll spend way too much time
On something so small that no one really cares about at all
I guess it's just another one of those thoughts
And I can't really find a cause
Whether it's all just in my mind or something more here in my life
It's U, it's U
Oh god, it's U
It's U
If you're awake then I am too
If you're lost then I'll find you
If you're hurt then I'll fix you
If you go blind I'll describe the view
If you can't feel then I'll hold you
If you fall know I've got you
And if you fall down too far and I can't see you through these marks
And your eyes are covered in scars, and my head's filling with tar
Don't worry we'll find another way out
Your silhouette doesn't look quite right
And I can never find the time
To bury my hands in words
I'd grow a new kind of evergreen tree, just for you and me
On second thoughts, will you even remember me?
But it's always been U (It's always been U)
It's always been U (It's always been U)
It's always been U (It's always been U)
It's always been U (It's always been U)
It's always been U (It's always been U)
It's always been U
Is it me for U?
We‘re alive
Everyone and everything around me's always changing
Everyone except me I'm stayin' the same as if I was nothing
I don't sing my songs I bleed them, I don't write unless I mean them
Without cold the snow's just rain, without my voice it's all the same
It's ok we're just scared
I don't really need to sleep much longer
But the longer I sleep, the slower my heart beats
There's fire on my floor telling me to sleep some more
Cry a little louder if you know what this means
It's ok we're just scared
It's ok
I forgot about the note I left on my back door
But it's alright, I'll stay here inside with my friends who aren't here anymore
Actually you know what
The way things are isn't good enough
We're alive and we're here
Listen please cause we're scared
We're alive and we're here
We will scream til you hear
Juliet
I need to cry, but I can't
Get anything out of my eyes or my head
Did I die?
I need to run, but I can't
Get out of bed for anyone
Not for you, ooh
My sour boy is a pain
I wanna shoot him in the brain
But I'd miss him in the morning
It really hurts
When I need to so bad, but I can't see her
My Juliet, my special girl
But I need to understand
When I can power through
And when I need some help from you
When I should stand my ground
And when I need to just sit down
Sometimes I act like I know
But I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes
And a bully in his head
I wanna make
A colour that no one else has seen before
I wanna be so much more
I hope that she
Looks at me and thinks, "Shit, he is so pretty"
Something I can't believe
But I need to understand
When I can power through
And when I need some help from you
When I should stand my ground
And when I need to just sit down
Sometimes I act like I know
But I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes
And a bully in his head
Sometimes I act like I know but I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes and a bully in his head
Sometimes I act like I know but I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes and a bully in his head
Boys will be bugs
I'm a dumb teen boy
I eat sticks and rocks and mud
I don't care about the government
And I really need a hug
I feel stupid (stupid), ugly (ugly)
Pretend it doesn't bother me
I'm not very strong, but
I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs
It's getting cold down here underneath the weather
I skipped class to sit with you
I really like your spotty sweater
If ladybugs are girls
How do you make kids together?
What's it like in a female world?
I bet it's just so much better
I just turned 14
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now, and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Boys will be bugs, right?
I'm a dumb teen boy
All I wanna do is quit
My mum told me that she's worried
And I couldn't give a shit
I have friends who understand me
Their names are spider, beetle, bee
They don't say much, but
They have always listened to me
The other boys at school
Think it's cool to hate your parents
But they're lying all the time
The bugs advised that I should let 'em
And if you wanna cry
Make sure that they never see it
Or even better yet
Block it out and never feel it
I just turned 14
And I think I know everything
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now, and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Boys will be bugs, right?
Just turned 14
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean
Just turned 14
And I think I know everything
Just turned 14
And I think this year I'm gonna be mean
Just turned 14
And I think the world revolves around me
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now, and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now, and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Don't mess with me, I'm a big boy now, and I'm very scary
I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
Don't message me 'cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
Ain't that how it's s'posed to be? Though it isn't me
Boys will be bugs, right?
Hazel
I'm awake again at 3 a.m.
My head's so tired, but I don't care, no I don't
Outside the sky looks like it's burning down, but
I won't fear, no I won't
Falling down like angels fighting
Stars and lightning, hold me tightly
Hold me tightly
Close your blinds tonight
They'll soften and disperse the light and
If you're lucky a car might drive by
And the headlights fill your ceiling with shooting stars
Works of art
Waiting for your arms to part
And welcome in my beating heart
Badum, badum, badum, badum
Falling down like angels fighting
Stars and lightning, hold me tightly
Falling down like angels fighting
Stars and lightning, hold me tightly
Falling down like angels fighting
Stars and lightning, hold me tightly
(Tightly, tightly, tightly, tightly)
Hold me tightly
Taking care of things
Where do the boys go when it gets cold out?
Do they have a place to sleep?
Where did their mums go? Did they get taken?
Or had they had enough of taking care of things?
It's hard to say if someone's at fault
If I don't do anything, is it my fault?
Where do the girls go when they feel frightened?
Do they have something to eat?
Where did their dads go? Did they get taken?
Or had they had enough of taking care of things?
I've gotta find a way to make this feel okay
When rock bottom for me is routine for someone else
I'm gonna take care of things
There's things I need to sort out
I'm gonna take care of things
Cause they're not where I want them right now
I know there's good in everything
And it'll show itself when you're gentle to it
I'm gonna take care of things
Where does my mind go when it gets stupid?
Is there anyone in there?
Where did my friends go? Did they get taken?
Or had they had enough of going to therapy?
Sat in a cold room, the corners feel friendly
I think they'll take care of me
My brothers are circles, my sisters quadrilaterals
And they're all so pretty
I'm gonna take care of things
There's things I need to sort out
I'm gonna take care of things
They're not where I need them right now
I know there's good in everything
And it'll show itself when you're gentle to it
I'm gonna take care of things
I'm gonna take care of things
Hug all your friends
… What's it like to be alone on a Sunday
Remembering the time you saw them just yesterday?
Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts
I could listen to you all night long
… And I don't care about my sleeping routine
I fucked it up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
As the night rocks me to sleep
… Remember when we felt like animations
And didn't need A grades for self-validation?
Tell me about the things that you love
The world simply needs more affection 'cause
… I don't care about what people think of me
I'm fucked up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
And so many things to see
… Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all your friends and let them know
You're not letting go
No, I won't let go, oh-oh
Oh, ohhh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Ohhh
Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, ohhh, ohhh
Oh, oh
… Did you and your friends have fun on the weekend
Nothing feels better than sleeping and sleeping in
Watch as my head falls away from the room
I would hug all my friends if they weren't friends with you
… You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all
When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone
And it's nothing I can't change
But I can't breathe anymore
I forgot how to walk by myself
I could do with a little more of your help
… Life's too short to worry about things we got wrong
So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
I'm not letting go
… Life's too short to worry about things we got wrong
So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
I'm not letting go
… So hug all ur friends and let them know you're not letting go
No I won't let go, oh-oh
I promise I’m trying
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you
But I can't really find
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes
And sort them in my mind
The negative thoughts go on the left
And the happy things on the right
And there's a little corner saved just for you
Please let me know if you change your mind
Cause inside I'm falling
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
I realize how hard on you this must seem
But trust me
When I say its far, far worse for me
Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
Give me a moment to get my cards in line
Cause I'm still trying to figure out
In what kind of order I should set them out
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
But a part of me wants to let you be
Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
But I should've woken up, woken up by now
Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
All the lonely nights in your life
[Verse 1: Both]
I see you smokin' on the lawn
You must be skipping class today
My heart stops for a second or two
All I want is to be near to you
[Verse 2: Both]
Waiting for a train to come
Wondering if I should call
It feels so familiar now to me
Like I’ve heard this all before
[Chorus: Both]
Somebody loves you
It's been that way for a month or two
[Verse 3: Both]
If all the lonely nights in your life
Piled up to block the sun
Are you crying into the kitchen sink?
Are you sleeping in too long?
[Chorus: Both]
Somebody loves you
It's been that way for a year or two
I’d wait a lifetime
Just for a chance to call you mine
For a chance to make you mine
best friend
[Intro]
I should have stayed at home
Cause right now I see all these people who love me but I still feel alone
Can't help but check my phone
I should have made you mine
But no it wasn't meant to be and see I wasn't made for you and you weren't made for me
Though it seemed so easy...
[Chorus]
And that's because I wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one that makes your day
The one you think about as you lie awake
And I can't wait to be your number one
I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine
But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry
[Verse]
But won't you wait
You know it's too late
I'm on my own shit now
And let me tell you how it feels to be fucking great
I feel great
You need to be yourself
Love someone for lovin' you instead of someone really cool that makes your heart melt
Who knows what you truly felt
You're still my favorite girl
You better trust me when I tell you there ain't no one else more beautiful in this damn world
In this damn world
[Bridge]
You're gonna wanna be my best friend baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, mmm
I said that
You're gonna wanna be my best friend baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
You're gonna wanna be my best friend baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
You're gonna wanna be my best friend baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I say that I'm happy
I say that I'm happy
But no, no, no, no
No, no, no, oh
[Chorus]
I still wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one that makes your day
The one you think about as you lie awake
And I can't wait to be your number - your number one
I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine
But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry
[Outro]
I still wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one...
I might just be the one...
devil town v2
Life's alright in devil town
Yeah right, no one's gonna catch us now
Daddy's bought a new car now
We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now
We're all dead in devil town
That's fine, cause nothing's gonna scare us now
We're all in our dressing gowns
Mines white and stripy yours is green and brown
I forgot my name again
I think that's something worth remembering
Spiders in your favourite shoes
Just leave them because they're more scared of you
Devil town is colder in the summer time
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight,
We'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad
When I know you've fallen this way too
Life's a treat in devil town
My ears have acclimated to the sound
Pretty faces fly around and 'round
My head as it contemplates this town I've found
It's lovely in the evening time
But every time I close my eyes
The sunshine gets a little dimmer now
The clouds fall down
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blossom swims across the river
How
Do you feel so proud
Every time I close my eyes
The colours fade and change inside
My mouth
It's all too loud
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blood forms branches in the water
It's lovely in the evening time
But every time I close my eyes
The sunshine gets a little dimmer now
The clouds fall down
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blossom swims across the river
How
You feel so proud
Every time I close my eyes
The colours fade and change inside
My mouth
It's all too loud
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blood forms branches in the water
Devil town is colder in the summer time
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight,
We'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad
When I know you've fallen this way too
