Fell into the blue
Lonely in my room
I can't run away.
I can't feel anything the way I used to
I don't fit, I've tried every way but nothing matches up
Constantly looking for space to breathe
In a room full of people with everything figured out.
'What do you want to be when you grow up?'
I want to be myself
Never needed help.
It's who I am, it's who I'll be
I'm not ashamed of what that means
I've been a liar, I've been a thief
That's not who I want them to see
I just want to be okay, I'm not afraid
I dropped the act, I want this scene
To play out how it should have been.

Need a better way to hate me
I've worn the old ways through
Pull apart my soul and watch me bleed
Till I see truth.
I had a grip on myself
But I slipped away
Imagine that
A boy with no name and no face.
I wish I had a spark
I wish I lit the fire
I couldn't hold the torch
I always felt so tired.
Two white doves, sitting on a wall
Waiting for a familiar call
Two green eyes, shining bright
A jealous heart's a horrid sight.
Two white doves, flying high
There's never been a hate like mine
Bury your pride, and cover it up with all your love
That's how you define trust
So love me if you must.
Don't depend on me, I'm half asleep
Too far to see myself the way I used to be.
A single dove placed on her skin
Watch me from this cage I'm in.

Bury us with our names
Don't forget what they mean
Honour us with our friends
Don't forgive the things they said.
Fine day for a funeral
They say it's at the old house on the hill
Way out on the south side
Never seen a day so calm and still.
Carry us through the maze
Don't forget your way
Marry us to these days
And we'll run away.
Shut them out
It's not the first time you fell
For the same old tricks.
Wishing well
I'm tired of spelling it out
Just for you to miss.

Under the surface you're settling
These feelings of purpose are growing
Yet I'm the promise you couldn't keep
Because you lead yourself into grief.
Too far, too long you've been running
Tired soul, it's just no fun anymore
Too long since you let the sun in.
You'll wind up with no one to hate but yourself.
I'm more real than you know
I'm the slightest touch, a whisper down the phone
I'll be right here to carry you
Seems I arrived not a moment too soon.
It's you, it's never me
You're not strong enough to part with your disease.
Saying that you'll never grow up is getting old
And you're just no fun anymore
Just for once do what you've been told.
You'll wind up with no one to hate but yourself.
I'm more real than you know
I'm the slightest touch, a whisper down the phone
I'll be right here to carry you
Seems I arrived not a moment too soon.
Real plans, I know
But a tiny spark dies out alone.
So I'll be right here to carry you
Seems I arrived not a moment too soon.
You're waiting for me
I'm a memory you've not yet made
I'm the future of everything you're yet to save.
You're waiting for something, not just anything
But the chance to feel okay
And if it never comes; accept the hands you play.

Hey, I know you from somewhere
Just wait, I think I can remember your face
Dismay, I can't put my finger on it
Afraid of knowing anyone for real.
It's who we are
It's who we are so forget about it
Forget you ever felt this way.
It's not gonna get easier
Another world away
A new place where it's safer and warmer.
I see your mind
A calming sight
I know you too well but i'll learn soon what it is to cry.
It's who we are
I've come to far to forget about it
Forget I ever felt this way.
