Nothing Personal

V1/
Oh I’m just not so sure
Oh can you grab the door
Your clothes on the floor
My flaws how they gnaw
V2/
It’s nothing personal
I can’t ever give my all
But I have built these walls
I try to climb but fall
Chorus/
Don’t be gentle, darling
I’ve got no handle
I’m, I’m a vandle
Don’t, be gentle
V3/
I was clueless to think
You’d give up so easily
Stubborn love you’ll soon see
All these scars that I’ve hid
Chorus/
Don’t be gentle, darling
I’ve got no handle
I’m, I’m a vandle
Don’t, be gentle

Brittle Bones

V1/
As brittle as these bones I bear
A silent smile to hide my cares
I am the moon, alone in the stars
It is my curse to bear this heart
Chorus 1/
It’s selfish, it’s love
There’s ash in these lungs
The lion, post-dove
Your taste on my tongue
V2/
Autumn leaves fall, with velvet grace
Unlike these thoughts I’ve locked in space
I build up my walls, to hide my hell
There are no doors, to this cell
Chorus 2/
It’s selfish, it’s love
There’s ash in these lungs
The lion, post-dove
My conscious, is strung
It’s selfish, it’s love
There’s ash in these lungs
The lion, post-dove
Your taste on my tongue

Right My Wrongs
02:52
|
|||
It has been so long,
Since I’ve been home
I’m trying to right all my wrongs,
But this won’t leave me alone
Break me down, I come undone
How could I have caused this harm?

Breaking at the Seams
05:47
|

V1/
I've been waking in the night
And you're not there by my side
And I wonder what went wrong
Was it something I said or done?
C1/
And I don't know what this means
But it's over so it seems
V2/
And oh if I could turn back time
Would things change or could we make it right?
So you go your way, I'll go mine
And I'll see you one day down the line
C2/
And I'm breaking at the seams
Someone wake me from this dream
Bridge/
I know everything will be fine
But right now, just wanna stay inside
I know everything will be fine
But right now, just wanna stay inside

Isolation
05:33
|
|||
V1/
Isolation is where I find
the puzzle pieces of my mind
When theres too, many heartbeats
My gaze quickly finds my feet
Like a stranger, in these bones
My solitude is my home
V2/
Do you ever feel like an island?
Drifting away, ever so silent
Happiness and his counterpart
Way heavy on my heart
I shrewdly wear this forced facade
It's a sleeve to hide my cards
Bridge/
Take me through the night
I long to be free
It always feels alright
When it's you and me
