ORANGE
Flowers bloom
Too many to count
Where you’re in my brain
Buried six feet down
Tangerines
They turn my lips sweet
Wash your name from my tongue
Now I’m finally clean
You were the night clouding my skies
Watering down the tears from my eyes
Using my pain as your disguise
Now I’m orange
It was never yours
The color of my soul, it feels so personal
Now I’m orange
Is it something I do?
Is it something I say?
Now I know that it’s you
Making me think this way
I’m waking up to watch the sunrise
Open the curtains, I am baptized
I’m seeing me seeing you in a new light
Now I’m orange
It was never yours
The color of my soul, it feels so personal
Now I’m orange
I’m taking back what was always mine
I was hiding there the whole time
I’m taking back what was always mine
I was hiding there the whole time
Now I’m orange
It was never yours
Now I’m orange
It was never yours
The color of my soul, it feels so personal
Now I’m orange
I’m taking back what was always mine
I was hiding there the whole time
THE WOLF
I made excuses for you
I’ve got bruises for you, uh
But I’ve been keeping score of
Every heart you’re chewing up
And I should have told you how deep it cuts
A promise broken, a sucker punch
But I’m not someone who says enough
When it should open, keep my mouth shut
You’re the wolf
Dressed in low tops, tryna play God
Pitiful
Stuck in black sheep that you can’t keep
Cover up the bones you forgot to bury
That’s the kind of shit you pull
When you’re the wolf
Dressed in low tops but you know I’m not
That kind of vulnerable
That kind of vulnerable
I’m picking up the pieces
I wanna keep around to cut
Up all of your opinions
You’re probably keeping a list of
Your claws get sharper, your heart goes numb
Your eyes get darker, your makeup runs
I’ll be the martyr, you’re out for blood
You’re out for blood, you’re out for blood
You’re the wolf
Dressed in low tops, tryna play God
Pitiful
Stuck in black sheep that you can’t keep
Cover up the bones you forgot to bury
That’s the kind of shit you pull
When you’re the wolf
Dressed in low tops but you know I’m not
That kind of vulnerable (I’m not that kind)
That kind of vulnerable (yeah, say what you like)
You’re the wolf
Dressed in low tops, tryna play God
Pitiful
Stuck in black sheep that you can’t keep
Digging up the dirt in the cemetery
Boy, you keep a graveyard full
When you’re the wolf
Dressed in low tops but you know I’m not
That kind of vulnerable (no, no)
That kind of vulnerable (no, I’m not that kind)
(You talk about dark forces disrupting your life
Well, maybe the dark force is you)
WELCOME HOME
Been away for so long you almost forgot
How it feels waking up in a twin sized bed
Never knew drinking from that coffee cup
On that front porch would ever mean much in the end
Just breathing in the air takes you back in time
To being six years old and learning how to ride a bike
Down this very street you never well outgrow
It still says welcome home
Home
Home
Home
Driving on Friday night through the heart of town
Yellow lights slow you down like they should
And everyone cheering at the football game
While mom and dad watch from the stands with a longing look
Just hearing your home crowd takes you back in time
To being seventeen and standing on the edge of your whole life
These traditions you never will outgrow
They still say welcome home
Home
Home
Home
SAFE (feat. Sean C Kennedy)
The feelings are shoulder deep
And my feet are tangled
At depths I cannot see
There’s no way out alone
Not a soul for miles and miles, just ghosts on an empty shore
And I’m getting so tired treading water waiting for
Release
Can anybody save me
Before the tide takes me
Can anybody pull me out
The water’s getting higher now
Can anybody find me
Pick me up and hold me close
Saying it’s all okay
You’re not gonna drown today
You are safe, safe now
You are safe with me
Let it rain down (I'll keep you safe and sound)
Let the sunlight fade out (you don’t have to turn around)
You are safe with me
You are safe with me
Losing all sense of time
As the water gets colder
Surrendering to the night
Slipping under
Praying for relief
Can anybody save me
Before the tide takes me
Can anybody pull me out
The water’s getting higher now
Can anybody find me
Pick me up and hold me close
Saying it’s all okay
You’re not gonna drown today
You are safe, safe now
You are safe with me
Let it rain down (I'll keep you safe and sound)
Let the sunlight fade out (you don’t have to turn around)
You are safe with me
You are safe with me
I never meant to get this far out
I never meant to be so reckless
I never meant to get this far out
I never meant to be so reckless
JUST LIKE YOU
Selfish, how could you be so selfish
You buy my trust and sell it for something to break
Hurt me, why would you wanna hurt me
Do you think I deserve these ribbons and chains
Well, I’ve lost count of the second chances given
Thinking next time you’ll be different
But you’ll never change
It’s just like you to take me down
And it’s just like me to come back around
Yeah, it’s what we do
A never-ending cycle, embracing denial
In different shades of blue
Yeah, it’s just like you
Helpless, how could I be so helpless
Your lying eyes were well-lit the night you walked in
Hurt me, you twist me up and turn me
Do you think I deserve these needles and pins
Well, I've lost count of the second chances given
Thinking next time you’ll be different
But you’ll never change
It’s just like you to take me down
And it’s just like me to come back around
Yeah, it’s what we do
A never-ending cycle, embracing denial
In different shades of blue
Yeah, it’s just like you
Ooooo, yeah
And it’s just like you
Ohhh, yeah
Yeah…
PAPERCUT
You’re just a flesh wound that feels like a dagger in my chest
A heartbeat that feels like cardiac arrest
Another bad dream where I wake up obsessed
Something insignificant i’ll never forget
I wonder why it hurts so much
Every time that we don’t touch
I wonder why it hurts so much
Baby you’re a papercut
You’re just a teardrop baby now everything’s a blur
Why’s it so hard dealing with a lovesick amature
A thread I keep pulling to the ends of the earth
A grain of sand that covers me like cemetery dirt
I wonder why it hurts so much
Every time that we don’t touch
I wonder why it hurts so much
Baby you’re a papercut
Like the wrong end of a blade
Everytime I walk away
I wonder why it hurts so much
Every time that we don’t touch
But I know, yeah I know why it hurts so much
Baby, you’re a papercut
You’re a papercut
GOLDEN MEMORY
What happens when the lights go down
At the final curtain call
Looking out at the faces in a crowd
Like they don’t exist at all
But it was magic
When we had it
No slant of light
No space or time
Could ever take you from me
Immortal golden memory
We memorized all of our lines
Found our places in the wings
We drew a breath knowing it wouldn’t last
The best feelings are fleeting
But it was magic
When we had it
No slant of light
No space or time
Could ever take you from me
Immortal golden memory
Marquis flickering all the things we didn’t say
Hands shake, heart races in the ghost light of yesterday
Marquis flickering all the things we didn’t say
Hands shake, heart races in the ghost light of yesterday
No slant of light
No space or time
Could ever take you from me
Immortal golden memory
They could never take you from me
Immortal golden memory
