make out, like your not who you used to be. i'm taking measures to keep my sanity. i'm not who i used to be, yeah exactly! don't live in your dreams. x2

a) hot swims 03:15
Pestering way too hard, release your hand let me see your bluff. No control, no way out. Find it interesting in the wake of this collapse. Take a breath, soak it in. Ever wondered if there’s a greener way? Take a breath, slip away. From the darker days you see today. There’s a message on the ceiling.. “wait for collapse this evening” Fight for those who are grieving. Stop others from taking your meaning to life.

There’s certain moments, that you try to remember, but don’t. Thankfully, there’s many more to come. Struggling? To pick a side. Don’t worry, my minds already made up tonight. Don’t let go of devotion. Try go nowhere. Face fire with fire. don’t hate the complicated movements that we make.. In the slumber of dark. And I wake all the same. Terrified of where I’ve been. But hold onto something, there’s no way around but in. Pick apart euphoria, there’s no more meaning left in you. Pick apart euphoria, there’s no more meaning left to view.

a) no air 01:53
6.
there’s imagination,there’s the displacement. you only see the things you wanna see, you’re underneath, the friction that’s been holding you down. x2
7.
redecorating the walls, that used to be the main talking point. am I close enough to start over? there’s an endless city no breaking bank. keep your mind steady, watch from the back. make better memeories, distort your only dreams. the trees are living, I can’t see the bottom.
8.
b) fake show 02:03
take care of what you owe, you make you own lasting hope. x2 cold without a meaning, figure out things while only sleeping. delighted to hear you’re breathing. 8 hours in, still gleaming. can’t look in the mirror, is my fate sealed within her? are the cracks beginning to show? only you can help. take care of what you owe, you make you own lasting hope. x2
9.
destination is, the only thing that your mind is concerned with. connect the dots to find your way around, don’t get lost in repeated signs. figure out your best way to live, make mistakes and then you will give, something to someone ,who didn’t’ believe in themselves.
10.
making my own decision, find out what led to indecision. I’m stuck thinking about, chaos near the moonlight. what can I do to slow it down? distancing myself from the past. making the time worth it while it lasts. don’t go fast, relax. It’ll be alright

lyrics:

mint condition:

make out, like your not who you used to be.
i'm taking measures to keep my sanity.
i'm not who i used to be, yeah exactly!
don't live in your dreams. x2

hot swims:

Pestering way too hard, release your hand
let me see your bluff. No control, no way out.
Find it interesting in the wake of this collapse.
Take a breath, soak it in. Ever wondered if there’s a greener way?
Take a breath, slip away. From the darker days you see today.

There’s a message on the ceiling.. “wait for collapse this evening”
Fight for those who are grieving.
Stop others from taking your meaning to life.


luigi, like the cat:

There’s certain moments, that you try to remember, but don’t.
Thankfully, there’s many more to come.
Struggling? To pick a side.
Don’t worry, my minds already made up tonight.

Don’t let go of devotion.
Try go nowhere.

Face fire with fire. don’t hate the complicated movements
that we make.. In the slumber of dark.
And I wake all the same. Terrified of where I’ve been.
But hold onto something, there’s no way around but in.

Pick apart euphoria, there’s no more meaning left in you.
Pick apart euphoria, there’s no more meaning left to view.

whipping candy:

there’s imagination,there’s the displacement.
you only see the things you wanna see,
you’re underneath, the friction that’s been holding you down. x2

diner service:

redecorating the walls, that used to be the main
talking point. am I close enough to start over?
there’s an endless city no breaking bank. keep your mind steady,
watch from the back.

make better memeories, distort your only dreams.
the trees are living, I can’t see the bottom.

fake show:

take care of what you owe, you make you own lasting hope. x2

cold without a meaning, figure out things while only sleeping.
delighted to hear you’re breathing. 8 hours in, still gleaming.

can’t look in the mirror, is my fate sealed within her?
are the cracks beginning to show? only you can help.

take care of what you owe, you make you own lasting hope. x2

seven tokens:

destination is, the only thing that your mind is concerned with.
connect the dots to find your way around,
don’t get lost in repeated signs.

figure out your best way to live,
make mistakes and then you will give,
something to someone, in themselves.

testing season:

making my own decision,
find out what led to indecision.
I’m stuck thinking about,
chaos near the moonlight.
what can I do to slow it down?

distancing myself from the past.
making the time worth it while it lasts.
don’t go fast, relax. It’ll be alright.
