Attention, attention You got what you came for Attention, addiction A revolving door for More mentions, and glimpses Of the person I fell for Attention, attention You always expect more I took your hand and felt the strings wrapped around each of your fingers I thought I knew you but the way you moved on let me know we’re strangers I'm in too deep The shore is way too far, it’s beyond my reach My body’s weak The ocean fills my lungs, putting me to sleep The weights anchored to my feet Are the secrets you made me keep I’m in too deep There’s nothing left to give, let me drown in peace Blegh! The time I gave to you has sunk to the bottom, your hourglass figure Don’t wanna be the one you call when you’re caught with your head under water Wish I could warn the others Before they’re lost at sea But it would blow the cover What you meant to me I'm in too deep The shore is way too far, it’s beyond my reach My body’s weak The ocean fills my lungs, putting me to sleep The weights anchored to my feet Are the secrets you made me keep I’m in too deep There’s nothing left to give, let me drown in peace I'm in too deep The shore is way too far, it’s beyond my reach My body’s weak The ocean fills my lungs, putting me to sleep The weights anchored to my feet Are the secrets you made me keep I’m in too deep There’s nothing left to give, let me drown in peace I'm in too deep The shore is way too far My body's weak The ocean fills my lungs Putting me to sleep And i can feel it It's killing me I'm in too deep There's nothing left to give Let me drown in peace

Runaway 03:14
Took a drive down the only street I’ve ever known Out of gas, out of luck, it’s the end of the road There’s no map There’s no plan There’s no secret to this gravity and I feel the car shake, my engines ready to blow I feel my hands ache, two hundred miles to go Can’t go back Eyes go black Can’t go back to where I used to be Sing till my throat shreds All the saddest songs I know Inject them Speeds make my head spin The world a blur Running from the pain within I'll set fire to the old me Not a trace of the person they thought they knew Lookin' forward to what could be Mark me down as a Runaway! Stars are falling all around me Made a wish and I know it won't come true I'm leaving it behind me, so Don't miss me! Moving past the mess, there's no way to know What comes next, I'm a wreck, hundred miles to go Now's the time This night is mine I'll find the place that I'm meant to be Sing till my throat shreds All the saddest songs I know Inject them Speeds make my head spin The world a blur Running from the pain within I'll set fire to the old me Not a trace of the person they thought they knew Lookin' forward to what could be Mark me down as a Runaway! Stars are falling all around me Made a wish and I know it won't come true I'm leaving it behind me, so Don't miss me! Rah, fuck! I'm off the road, no miles to go the streets aren't gold, still I can't go home so here I go, back on the road I'll find a place to call my own! I'll set fire to the old me Not a trace of the person they thought they knew Lookin' forward to what could be Mark me down as a Runaway! Stars are falling all around me Made a wish and I know it won't come true I'm leaving it behind me, so Don't miss me! Run away! Run away! Run!

Shadow profiles and dark web nightmares Hide your stains behind a screen Backlit glow reveals illicit affairs Truth obscured, the lies obscene Prisms shift Personas split Symbols live Under my skin Maybe next time In the next life You can say what you mean With your fucking chest Yeah, with your fucking chest Ugh!

Go! I told you what you wanna hear But you told me me everything that I feared You led me on, now I can see You never even cared for me What do you want me to say You led me on and left it that way What do you want me to say All I am to you is a fucked up game I sit around all fucking day And think about the things you'd say When we would talk, and have some fun Now all I hear is "We're fucking done!" I'll tell you what you wanna hear I'm still alone, I wish you were near Maybe I was wrong, maybe I will see If anyone ever even cared for me So what do you want me to say You left me alone, guess you want it that way What do you want me to say I'll still be here if you want me some day I sit around all fucking day And think about the things you'd say When we would talk, and have some fun Now all I hear is "We're fucking done!" I sit around all fucking day And think about the things you'd say When we would talk, and have some fun Now all I hear is "We're fucking done!" I sit around all God damn day And think about the things you'd say When we would talk, and have some fun Now all I hear is "We're fucking done!"

Brick by brick, we built our monument It's sailing through the clouds Its shadow looming overhead Inch by inch, we played our politics The king and queen of nothing Built a castle nonetheless It seemed like such a good idea To leave the ground behind Pursuit of happinesses So up her hair I'll climb A secret garden made for us Don't need the world below Or so I told myself until I found myself alone We built a Castle in the sky Now the halls are cold and vacant Castle in the sky Crumbling ruins mixed with rain, and I can't remember why I gave all my time and patience building Castles in the sky Your apathy's contagious There's not much reason No there's not much fact The castle's under siege From an internal attack It seemed like such a good idea To leave the ground behind Pursuit of happinesses So up her hair I'll climb Put my feet back on the ground Castle in the sky Now the halls are cold and vacant Castle in the sky Crumbling ruins mixed with rain, and I can't remember why I gave all my time and patience building Castles in the sky Your apathy's contagious Castle in the sky So beautiful and broken Castle in the sky We're never to return, and I can't remember why I gave all my time and patience building Castles in the sky If you jump, I'll jump after you We built a Castle in the sky Now the halls are cold and vacant Castle in the sky Crumbling ruins mixed with rain, and I can't remember why I gave all my time and patience building Castles in the sky Your apathy's contagious Castle in the sky So beautiful and broken Castle in the sky We're never to return, and I can't remember why I gave all my time and patience building Castles in the sky When you jumped, I jumped after you

Static dagger pierces through my heart The masks you wear keep you unseen Light reveals your endless catacombs I’ll be the ghost in your machine Message sent with Ill intent, you Reinvent your Self for the next round No one knows your True intentions Histrionic Traits to your fucking core Yeah, to your fucking core Ugh!

Didn't wanna ask our friend if you were gonna be here and make the whole thing weird But I was nervous in the car, just in case you are, just in case the coast ain't clear I'm looking over people's shoulders And that's fucked up, I know it And I just had this vision of you looking at me different when you saw my face But I'd have one drink and I'd say the wrong thing, so it's probably for the best I'm looking over people's shoulders And I'm hoping that you're somewhere close But everyone at this party isn't you Everyone at this party isn't you You're the only one I wanna run into But I never do Everyone at this party isn't you Everyone at this party isn't you Don't wanna search for you in every room But I always do Yeah, I got in last night, staying on the west side Scotty told me you're here And I'm having these thoughts Did we fuck it up or not? Did we waste two years? And did you get the space you needed? Did you realize you don't need me? Hey, did you realize you don't need me? 'Cause everyone at this party isn't you Everyone at this party isn't you You're the only one I wanna run into But I never do Everyone at this party isn't you Everyone at this party isn't you Don't wanna search for you in every room But I always do Everyone at this party isn't you Everyone at this party isn't you Hey, did you realize you don't need me?
