Sanctuary

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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
|
|||
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
