Sanctuary 03:34

V1 Some days, some days I feel I don’t belong Like my feet don’t wanna know the ground no more And though I, though I try to right my wrongs This world just throws me back to square one PRE Know I need some time (So I’m gonna) Do this right (On my own) In my mind Chaos knocks on my door CHORUS I’ll plan my great escape I’ll build a hideaway And nothing is seeping in I’ll pray this world away And claim my sanctuary V2 In time, in time I know I’ll scale this wall Not let it get me down about it all Sanctuary there to break my fall Preach my runaway prayer Get me out of here PRE Know I need some time (So I’m gonna) Do this right (On my own) In my mind Chaos knocks on my door CHORUS I’ll plan my great escape I’ll build a hideaway And nothing is seeping in I’ll pray the world away And claim my sanctuary M8 Chaos ain’t coming in No chaos ain’t coming in Chaos ain’t coming in I locked the door No fear no more CHORUS I’ll plan my great escape I’ll build a hideaway And nothing is seeping in I’ll pray this world away I’ll claim my sanctuary

Out of Fashion 04:07

CHORUS I still have your old ripped jeans The ones you wore when you met me Kinda thought by now they’d split there at the seams They had a good run But like them we’re still intact After all this time you’re back So I guess we’re good and We’re never going out of fashion V1 I’ve got, I’ve got a box of you Sat there on my hallway floor Haven’t had the heart to Push it out the door PRE Cuz it’s more than just a feeling Can’t ignore history If we’re torn Doesn't mean we’re broken We're just incomplete CHORUS I still have your old ripped jeans The ones you wore when you met me Kinda thought by now they’d split there at the seams They had a good run But like them we’re still intact After all this time you’re back So I guess we’re good and We’re never going out of fashion V2 I know, know now it must be you The ghost hanging around me Cuz I can’t, I can’t live without You and all your shit around here PRE Cuz it’s more than just a feeling Can’t ignore history If we’re torn Doesn't mean we’re broken We're just incomplete CHORUS I still have your old ripped jeans The ones you wore when you met me Kinda thought by now they’d split there at the seams They had a good run But like them we’re still intact After all this time you’re back So I guess we’re good and We’re never going out of fashion

Scarlet Red 03:22
lyrics

V1 I see the world in shades of blue A hue of sadness, hint of truth My eyes are heavy, hard to see Indigo tears take over me CHORUS Hell is a fire, it burns amber for you Your heart is a scarlet red That I can’t break through V2 I see your hair in shades in gold But beauty hides the broken souls Why are we so damn hard to please Fill my eyes green with jealousy CHORUS Hell is a fire, it burns amber for you Your heart is a scarlet red That I can’t break through I can’t break through x4 M8 No silver lining here I’ll wipe my canvas clear of you CHORUS Hell is a fire, it burns amber for you Your heart is a scarlet red That I can’t break through I can’t break through x4

Homesick 03:21
lyrics

CHORUS And I get a bit homesick Hearing all these echoes from the past Yeah I get a bit homesick Thinking about all the songs we had It was all over so quick Things were so much better when you wore your hair like that Can’t we just go back V1 Found a relic from the past From a time I wish coulda last Something only we could understand Trading charizards in your garage Acting like the whole place is ours Whatever happened to our master plan PRE Did we ever really grow up Cuz I don’t feel grown up CHORUS And I get a bit homesick Hearing all these echoes from the past Yeah I get a bit homesick Thinking about all the songs we had It was all over so quick Things were so much better when you wore your hair like that Can’t we just go back V2 Tamagotchu on my mind Scrunchies in my hair all the time Check in on your top friends of the day Studs on my belts and my chains Papa roach on the replay We had it so damn good back in the da PRE Do we really have to grow up? I don’t wanna grow up CHORUS And I get a bit homesick Hearing all these echoes from the past Yeah I get a bit homesick Thinking about all the songs we had It was all over so quick Things were so much better when you wore your hair like that Can’t we just go back M8 Here Take an earbud Listen up I Made a playlist for ya If you feel a little homesick This is gonna cure ya CHORUS I hear get a bit homesick Hearing all these echoes from the past Yeah you get a bit homesick Thinking about all the songs we had It was all over so quick Things were so much better when you wore your hair like that Can’t we just go back And I get a bit homesick Hearing all these echoes from the past Yeah I get a bit homesick Thinking about all the songs we had It was all over so quick Things were so much better when you wore your hair like that Can’t we just go back

With the Seasons 04:12

V1 I try to move with the seasons Catch up to the sun for a while The spring air it changed my actions Thaws me out from the cold of the winter ties CHORUS Cuz how you change Puts Mother Nature to shame Harder than hail Sweeter than summer But I can’t predict When you’ll move on to another V2 We tried to jump all the puddles Soaked through to the soles of our boots I guess we all have our reasons To hideaway and bury all our roots CHORUS Cuz how you change Puts Mother Nature to shame Harder than hail Sweeter than summer But I can’t predict When you’ll move on to another M8 You blosssom You fall You freeze up / you go cold Repeat it all CHORUS Cuz how you change Puts Mother Nature to shame Harder than hail Sweeter than summer But I can’t predict When you’ll move on to another

In Your Shadow 03:36

V1 Trapped in a rut Feels like stone in my gut Should I be here Darkness just tries To flood out my I’ve been blinded You never see me You walk past don’t feel My presence I speak your name Call you out but I’m just met with silence CHORUS It’s always the same I feel dark, I feel lost, I feel low I’ve been stuck in your shadow V2 Your silhouette Is one I should forget But we’re still here Tried to untie The rope that you have binded Our feet with CHORUS And once again I feel dark, I feel lost, I feel low I’ve been stuck in your shadow M8 Don’t get me wrong I’m so happy for you It’s been so long Since I last knew myself So don’t mind me running Ahead of you I wanna have the sun To myself Like You V3 My skin is faded I’ve been left jaded For too long Leave me the light I’ll find my way right Back where I belong CHORUS Never again No more dark, no more lost, no more low x2 I’ve stepped out of your shadow

Whisper 03:42

V1 Hush now Your little lies they have a way of slipping out Weird how You go so quiet when it’s your name in their mouths PRE Ears burn You never learn You’re never backing down Where it hurts You make it worse You’re gonna take them out CHORUS Knock um out with your whisper Charm them with your words If you wanna do this right You gotta hit them where it hurts V2 I heard A little rumour of the bad things that you do Never Put my trust in a poison snake like you PRE Ears burn You never learn You’re never backing down Where it hurts You make it worse You’re gonna take them out CHORUS Knock um out with your whisper Charm them with your words If you wanna do this right You gotta hit them where it hurts M8 Take um out, take um out With a whisper Shut um down, shut um down Stop talking about What they thought that they heard In a whisper CHORUS Knock um out with your whisper Charm them with your words If you wanna do this right You gotta hit them where it hurts

Three Dot Bubble 03:49

V1 Can we talk? I’ve had a question It’s been locked up in my drafts Too scared to ask it Took too long I’ve gotta tell ya You should know, type it slow I tap to send it PRE Was it something I said Was it something I did? Just when I jump And go all in CHORUS You drop a three dot bubble Then you disappear Oh I’m in trouble And left waiting here Overnight, no sleep Thinking do you even like me Enough to call Cuz you ain’t saying anything at all Don’t make me wait up for ya Don’t make me wait up now V2 Too quiet Around here I been eyeballing the phone But it won’t ring If you’re not ready To let me in I’d appreciate a little The honesty PRE Was it something I said Was it something I did? Just when I jump And go all in CHORUS You drop a three dot bubble Then you disappear Oh I’m in trouble And left waiting here Overnight, no sleep Thinking do you even like me Enough to call Cuz you ain’t saying anything at all Don’t make me wait up for ya Don’t make me wait up now

Pathways 03:50

V1 Is it coincidence Or serendipity Cuz I’ve been on the fence On who I’m meant to be Is it any different Or is there someone Out there just like me PRE I can’t be alone I can’t be alone in the end CHORUS So if our pathways cross again Will you stay, will you stay tonight if our pathways cross again I’m moving to the other side V2 A possibility We could be the same Cuz in reality We’re just pawns in the game Not enough for me Something’s feeling empty All the same, all the same PRE I can’t be alone I can’t be alone in the end CHORUS So if our pathways cross again Will you stay, will you stay tonight if our pathways cross again I’m moving to the other side M8 Your soul tied to mine I feel like, I feel like We’re on the other side

Your Last Page 03:44
lyrics

V1 A bitter pill Is lodged and I can’t make it go away And still You dull the flame You want all of me But won’t give me the same CHORUS This is your last page Won’t make the same mistake again Not worth the heartache Or the time to play pretend You’re not gonna change are you? Prove it Cuz I’ve got a lot to mend So this is the last page Writing you out at the end V2 The final scene Curtain drops and lands right at my feet Empty Not a tear, Your pulled them out And filled me up with fear CHORUS This is your last page Won’t make the same mistake again Not worth the heartache Or the time to play pretend You’re not gonna change are you? Prove it Cuz I’ve got a lot to mend So this is the last page Writing you out at the end x2
