Submarine 03:49
It’s all lock and key for me Lips tight, sink slowly Secrets oh so sweet I’ll be your crime If you’ll be mine To the bottom of the sea My heart plunges, deep Hear whispers just for me Simple thievery My submarine Wherever the current takes us On on I will go Until the waters rise up and swallow me whole This anchor steadies me Rushing waters, full speed Hold tight to reality, babe We’ll fade to blue Tide comes rushing in Time to sink or swim We’ve already been Alvvays and Forever you’ll stay Current’s taking me Hold tight, my submarine Waters awakening My submarine

Focus on the skeleton beneath crumbling, broken machine ashes and rubble yet my heart still beats Some assembly required For me Some things just aren't meant to be So they tell me Some things just aren't meant for me These bones cast tiny shadows sprinkled around me so small and unseen nothing more than debris Some assembly required For me Some things just aren't meant to be So they tell me Some things just aren't meant for me So they tell me Some things just aren't meant to be So they tell me So they tell me I try to tell myself I’m alright Put me back together I’ll hold on tight But the TV plays in my mind I’m a prisoner in my own right Some assembly required I’m so fucking tired Some assembly required So they tell me

Final Act 04:02
I don’t know how to live like this constant silence behind these four walls instead of bliss It'd be easier to swerve to the right forget all the magic, an end in sight Final act, my show tonight, my show tonight Final act, my show tonight, for my show tonight Cards on the table Willing not able, to be free Stars in the sky Peek through tight netting Yearning for me Final act, my show tonight, my show tonight Final act, my show tonight, for my show tonight Take this heart from me I don’t need to watch it bleed Take this heart from me It’s failing, miserably Too deep in, to begin again to begin again begin again, again, again

That Way 03:36
Your smile, still on my lips Gentle heart, weighed down with bricks I see you today Hold your hand, make everything okay It should be that way I open my eyes and the world quickly fades Painted murals, walls a happy grey Soft light pours through Hanging plants gently sway I feel you next to me, breathing sweetly But I stir Why can’t you stay I open my eyes and the world quickly…fades I will wait for you I will wait I will wait for you I will wait Thirty years is a long time But I close my eyes and time passes by Please hold on tight, love I open my eyes, shut them quick, can I go back to this
5.
Crooked Ways 03:45
You see beyond the cracked smile Broken fences lined up for miles When thoughts are jumbled and a wreck You’re right there to keep me in check And you stay And you wait It doesn’t matter the phase I’ll set the damn thing ablaze Walking round talking shit throwing tantrums, making fits And you stay And you wait These are my crooked ways Promises all my days These are my crooked ways Navigating the haze Sometimes the words don’t come out right They bruise, they burn, they start a fight A hairline crack, not split in two Cover it up, dab a little glue And you stay And you wait These are my crooked ways Promises all my days These are my crooked ways Navigating the haze
6.
Yellow Cake 04:39
Sweetness makes my body ache I don't always know where to begin Flying high above the clouds Reaching for my win Looks simple, like a yellow cake Shove it all in your face.... But it's a give and take I don't always want to start again It's a long climb down down Hesitate diving in That simple cake, a tasty mistake Fills the space, my plate But, it’s a give and take Give and take I like the taste So I take and take Until my body aches Sit and judge on top a cloud View of crumbs is scattered round Staring down, do you feel proud Tell me now, do you feel proud Give and take I like the taste So I take and take Until my body aches Give and take I like the taste So I take and take Until my body aches

Tassology 03:36
Just one more Who’s keeping score, such a chore Gold fades away but the callousness stays How ‘bout another pour No glitter rays from this gold shade Stuffed in jars Unapparent scar, seen from afar Big dreams sink, before I blink Flushed away idealities And I know, and I know When I over think, I’m at the brink And I know, and I know You don’t feel the same as me Scattered Scattered all around Shattered Without a sound Scattered Scattered all around Shattered it goes down down down down Patterns taking shape Another drop, another drop I can’t tell what they say Another drop, another drop I can’t tell what they say Scattered Scattered all around Shattered Without a sound Patterns take shape, I can’t tell what they say

Wait 03:19
Is this all just a silly game you play Make me your prey Don’t wanna fight or say So, wipe that smirk, it’ll stick that way Holding on to hearts so full of yesterday Dim the light it’s pouring through Muddy grey, a sad shade of blue Nothing’s it’s natural hue So take cover, what’s wrong with you Moving on, new field of view Wait, wait Such a mess, but a mess we made Wait, wait, wait Don’t just throw it all away Wait I let this go to my head Happy, sad, just another tear shed Play dress up and wear our smiles So grab your tie, let’s fake it in argyle Wait, wait Such a mess, but a mess we made Wait, wait, wait Don’t just throw it all away The slides click, we reminisce No one promised constant bliss The truth hurts, and it’s a lie Cultivate, don’t let it die Don’t let it die Wait, wait Such a mess we made Wait, wait Wait, wait Don’t just throw it all away

Holding On 03:33
Dressed in black see the world in color muddied together bleeds and runs over A vacant chair and a broken heart fingers laced so tight alone and lost, worlds apart I’m quickly fading Hope’s dissipating Thoughts so numb crumpled soul’s in pieces the weight of what’s missing shouts through the creases Distant fantasy where two hearts beat Rescued brokenness Shame takes a back seat I’m quickly fading Hope’s dissipating Breathe deep, so deep but there’s nothing left in me How do I keep holding on Holding on, on my own Grasping tight to fantasies When there’s nothing good in me How do I keep holding on Holding on, on my own Praying for a victory When there’s nothing left in me
10.
Oceans 02:56
Good morning sunshine The waves stretch their arms for miles They’re warmed by your light Let’s build something beautiful leave the shore behind, littered in gold Breathe you in Drift away The forces are so strong Doesn’t take much to hold on Wrapped in your arms I’ll stay Let’s build something beautiful leave the shore behind, littered in gold You have oceans inside you They’re deeper than you ever even knew You have oceans inside you Awakened by those beautiful blues I walk these shores Hand in hand and always, forever, love you more Because of who you are
11.
Gravity 04:36
So much easier to live in a world where there is no reality just keeps on spinning No one to call you out, everything and nothing hurts so start again no finality But I know There’s this hope This broken soul’s now a part of me Damaged, bottomless well hidden inside this empty shell just keeps on spinning Don’t breathe-in-too deep or the tears will swell and spill over But I know You have this hope Your broken soul’s now a part of me And I know Just how beautiful what was and is to come because of gravity But how do I fill this hole And how do I love you so How do I fill this hole When you’re the only one who loves me for me Leap of faith, stepped off that balcony I’m still falling Please say you’ll catch me Cuz I know We have this hope Our broken soul lives in tragedy And I know Just how beautiful it all is because of gravity
