Anchor
03:57
|
|||
if i say good night will you follow me down the hall / smudge your fingerprints on the blue paper lining the walls / in your little house nestled into these city streets / i hid away from the storm that’s been hanging over me
and those bight brown eyes, they are islands i’ve swam to before / your crooked smile is the anchor that pulls me to shore / if the waves are high, darling i won’t be running scared / i will hold my breath if you just keep me floating here
and no i’m not, i’m not afraid / your lips are still, but your hands ask me to stay
and though the night, it’s a cold one, it’s a cold one / your skin is warm and your voice feels like the sun / and though the rain, it keeps falling, it’s falling / i am safe when it’s my name you’re calling
if i ask you why the moon hangs over the tides / well you tell me tales of wolves and their broken cries / with whispered words you can sing me to sleep / and i’ll memorize a map of your skin to keep
and you say you’re not afraid / my teeth are sharp but you tell me we fight the same
[repeat chorus]

Meant to Fall
04:09
|
|||
i told you once there’s no such thing as fate / or was i really scared we were meant to fall this way / i heard your words, the sweetest lies / said you’d follow me even when i cut you from my side / and the first time i kissed you i knew / that you were different, you’d have me breaking all my rules / and i’ll tell you why i keep pushing you away / i might be scared that there’s such a thing as fate
and if i hunt you down / find your heart beating through this trees / will you love me still? / will you still be waiting for me? / and these fairytales about monsters in disguise / never warned me about the kindness in your eyes
i remember how your hands felt locked in mine / i remember how the light flickered in your smile / i remember when we stood on opposing sides / you said when it came to me you’d always give up the fight / and the last time i said that i loved you / my voice was quiet in the dark warmth of your room / and you smiled with wrinkles in your nose / i asked myself if i could ever let you go
[repeat chorus]
i told you once there’s no such as fate / were you even a little scared we were meant to fall this way?

My Bones
02:56
|
|||
you got me alone to see my eyes grow wide (eyes grow wide, eyes) / your hands are painted stones, you bruise me with your lies / your lies, i can taste your lies
you shatter my home and watch the flames rise / flames rise and fill the sky / you've painted red my skin just to keep out the light / so the night stays on your side / keep the night
you are the voice that keeps itself locked inside my head / you are the nightmare i keep hidden beneath my bed / and winter is blooming down inside my fingertips / my memories of you are what's holding the cold in
on the nights when i dream, i dream of hands on your throat / beg me to let go, let go / you put your hand on my mouth so they wouldn't know / who has to know? / who has to know?
[repeat chorus]
you are the voice that keeps itself locked inside my head / you are the nightmare i keep hidden beneath my bed / and summer is spreading down inside my bones / your eyes will grow wide next time you get me alone

Runaways
03:59
|
|||
i think you’re like the wind / a hurricane that’s brushed my skin / and knocked me down a time or two / and keeps me howling towards the moon
and in the forest we made a pact / that no matter how bad it hurt, we weren’t turning back / but for a kid who stood alone / i felt just fine when you called me your home
so we were kids thrown out to sea / and we were wolves lost in the trees / i left my family far behind / and used your promises as a guide
you said it’s okay / skin tears and bones, they break / and we are runaways / lives designed for each other to save / but if i close my eyes, if i close my eyes / if i dare to sleep / will you keep watch, will you keep watch over me?
you never said your goodbyes / guess you believed that we’d survive / you put your faith inside of me / but my hands would shake when you couldn’t see
you’ve had yourself unmade / i’ve picked my thoughts until they’ve frayed / we were ghosts with beating hearts / we were shadows from the start
[repeat chorus]

keep your eyes on mine / and i'll believe in the curve of your lips / keep your eyes on mine / i'll make sense of the noise in your head / you're not alone if our hearts beat just the same / am i more than your friend if the sweetest sound to me is your name? / and the touch of your skin, it's like passing secrets in the nights / you whisper to me that when i'm still there is quiet in your mind
you are the last place for me to hide / and you are the sweet dreams i hold inside / when all else fails, you are my stars / when all else fails, you steady my heart
are you afraid? / because i'll keep my chest to your back / there's nightmares in your veins / in your mind, there's a silent attack / your fingers in mine are a promise i'll never dare to say / if i'm just your friend, why do my lips fall on yours this way?
[repeat chorus]
keep your eyes on mine / we're taking shelter from the cold / keep your eyes on mine / when you shiver, my hands are yours to hold
[repeat chorus]

Any Lighter
04:20
|
|||
you never meant to start a war, you were trying to get home / the guns are firing / and the bullets are sinking like lumps in your throat / but you can see the smoke is rising up in their eyes / you dare yourself to stand up straight and beg for the fight
teeth in skin and nails in your palm / well, you've seen better days / the girl in town who gave you her heart now won't look your way / but if you close your eyes, do you feel any lighter at all? / you want to know how to keep on standing when you feel so small
if you could push back time to relive yesterday / are you better off being no one, is that what you say? / but if there's no hope left for the boy who shoulders them all / when he shakes, does the city fall? / when you shake, do your friends all fall?
the moon is high above your head when you're pacing the town / if everyone wants you to rise up, why are they pushing you down? / if you hold your breath do you feel any lighter at all? / your heavy feet are far outweighed by your heavy heart
[repeat chorus]
you never meant to start a war, you were trying to get home / but the guns are firing / and the bullets are sinking like lumps in your throat / if you count to ten, do you feel any lighter at all? / maybe it's only in your head that you feel so small
[repeat chorus]

Lifeline
03:37
|
|||
your whispered thoughts tend to keep me awake / your beating pulse is steady just to keep me sane / and like a wolf, my eyes keep flashing red / you're unalarmed, consumed by the gears in your head
i've come to terms with the hand that i've been dealt / smoke and ash are mere pains that demand to be felt / and you say we're all prisoners to our pasts / when you're with me, i forget to look back
but then you say, "be still my wild love / you were better off pretending not to care so much" / your bloodied fingers hang onto mine / i'm your wild love, you're my lifeline
i'm your wild love, you're my lifeline
and you're alive, i feel your heart on my skin / i push away, but you reel me back right in / and i could raise my voice until it's hoarse / i could leave great marks on this heart heart of yours
[repeat chorus]
i'm your wild love, you're my lifeline

For Isaac
02:24
|
|||
it's raining out tonight, well i hope you manage to stay dry / you can stay with me, alright / i'll protect you from those places where the monsters hide / pick the glass from your skin / let the healing begin / you can lean on me / scars will fade from violent red and i'll cradle your head until you fall asleep
down, down / down, down / you won't be falling
down, down / down, down / with me you won't fall down
do you feel it in your bones, the aching pain, the starving cold / there's so much dark when you're alone / i will be your shelter, i will be your home / i know you've tried to run away just for the sake of being safe / so teach me about the fear / your eyes catch light in the moon / you say you'll have to leave me soon / but i'll wait for you right here
down, down / down, down / you won't be falling
down, down / down, down / with me you won't fall down
down, down / down, down / and no one will push you
down, down / down, down / with me you won't fall down, down
down, down, down
