meet me in the darkest room
swallow up your pride while you get used
hunger, feed me
hungry, don't need me
hunger, feed me
hungry, don't need me, go
go on by yourself
I'm fine, I don't need help
you're right, don't look to me
throw up your arms and drop to your knees
hunger, feed me
hungry, don't need me
hunger, feed me
hungry, don't need me, go
go on by yourself
I'm fine, I don't need help
tearing me out of sleep
aren't you listening to me?
pretend you're not home
you think you're alone
don't walk down this road
your skin and your bones
bend down, surrender your peace
you can turn to violence whenever you need
hunger, feed me
hungry, don't need me
go on by yourself
I'm fine, I don't need help

so I leave
a house memories
so I leave home
I'll find another place to go
a place to be on my own
a place where my name isn't known
when i'm far away
sometimes I feel so alone
all my childhood dreams
fit in cardboard boxes
my old favorite things
go out with the garbage
so I see
how empty this old house can be
as I look around
I'll miss all the familiar sounds
the sound of keys in the door
the sound of your footsteps on the floor
when i'm far away
I don't hear those sounds anymore
all my childhood dreams
fit in cardboard boxes
my old favorite things
go out with the garbage
my old house
has been torn down
and I watched
as the roof hit the ground
I used to sit on the stairs
but now, they're not there
my memories
are fading away
to make room for the new
I'll make a house with you.

Poetry

I will read your eyes, I will read your lips like poetry
I will speak my mind, I will shake my hips like poetry
Oh love child, come wrap your arms around me
Won’t you read to me?
Poetry
I wanna feel inspired, wanna fill my head with poetry
Oh won’t you read it to me?

Run For Cover
03:59

Take a picture of the moon
A long and sleepless night, I give to you
Run free into the raging storm
Cold rain never felt so warm
Find shelter, run for cover
Hide a mountain in the ocean
A long and weary road, the path seems golden
Follow me, I won’t displace your trust
Walking gently through fields of dust
Find shelter, run for cover
Unspoken words hang in the air
Frozen in space without a care
Find shelter, run for cover

It takes the biggest mistake,
I walk around pretending it’s ok
Ok not to feel.
Remember it was cold out
You wrapped your arms around my waist
I felt so safe
Maybe it’s a dream we’re making
But in the dark we lost some pieces, it falls apart
I’m reaching out to you, but you’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are?
Who the fuck do you think you are?
That spark, I lost myself in your arms
Maybe it’s a dream we’re making
But in the dark we lost some pieces, it falls apart
I’m reaching out to you, but you’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are?
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Never really knew you,
I can see you through different eyes now
I’ll meet you in that dream
My heart misses your heart
I’m reach out to you, but you’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are?

Enjoy the Trip

Get that smile off of your face.
Go plunge yourself into deep space
Keep your arms and legs safe inside the spaceship
Keep your head on straight, enjoy the trip
I’ve got style, you have no taste.
In this state, why the sudden haste?
Keep your arms and legs safe inside the spaceship
Keep your head on straight, enjoy the trip
There has to be another way
What more do you have to say?
Can someone tell me what day it is?
When will you find me in this lonely place you put me in?
Can someone please tell me what day it is
When I’ll find out today’s the day and this is it.
Keep your arms and legs safe inside the spaceship
Keep your head on straight, enjoy the trip

Friends Again

Shatter this picture all over the basement floor
Don’t you expect some more feeling behind it?
Can we be friends again?
Dripping with water, you look through your father’s eyes
Don’t you expect to find feeling behind it?
Can’t we be friends again?
Tell me why won’t you give me a smile
Strolling through gardens, memories that I like
Maybe one day I might send you a letter
Can’t we be friends again?
Tell me why
Tell me why won’t you give me a smile
