01 | Vera

i sold you out
i made amends
i made you trust in me again
we found our peace between the broken ends

you took the keys
you swallowed them
you said you’d never feel again
the lock you opened in oblivion

if you want me to wait, i’ll wait
if you want me to break whatever needs to break
line up your chains
if you want me to hear, i’ll listen to every word you say
vera, it’s been three years since the day

the fire rained down on your parade
you left us all and i can’t help but feel a bit betrayed
your wounds are singing my disdain
it’s better off this way
three years since the day

you made a pact
you dropped the act
you focused on what you could attract
the fights uphill they helped to separate
you dropped the can and struck the match
the blaze you could not soon detach
the burning bride you tried to imitate

if you want me to stay, i’ll stay
if you want me to take you from this life you hate,
i’ll face the pain
if you want me to steer, displaced
hand me both your reigns
vera, it’s been three years since the day

the fire rained down on your parade
you left us all and i can’t help but feel a bit betrayed
your wounds are singing my disdain
it’s better off this way
three years since the day

all the nights you used to fear
all the song you’ll never hear
(since the day)
all the days becoming clear
all the life you’ll never be here

the fire rained down on your parade
you left us all and i can’t help but feel a bit betrayed
your wounds are singing my disdain
it’s better off this way
three years since the day

(the fire)
since the day
(the fire)
all the nights you used to fear
all the song you’ll never hear
all the days becoming clear
all the life you’ll never be here

baby, it’s our heart’s slow beating
that make us grow old
i mean to say there’s no one helping
we’re digging our own hole
i’m reading your words
they’re scrawled on the page
they lay here in silent rage
i’ll hold you to this for as long as i breathe
much more than whispers

if i ever found a one-leaf clover
it would be you
all wishing that such heights were lower
nothing is new
i’m citing your verse
it couldn’t sound worse
the black recital i dare rehearse
we all die alone
and as i’m clenching this phone
i can imagine the slowing hearse

how many times will i play the hero?
how many lies before it’s true?
how many times will we clock out at zero?
how many tries before we’re through?
how many lives til another you?

the scars are slowly healing
the lips have regained feeling
the obstacles are kneeling
the final wax is sealing
the great white ships are sailing
the feet have left their railing
the four last hooves are hailing

how many times will i play the hero?
how many lies before it’s true?
how many times will we clock out at zero?
how many tries before we’re through?
how many lives til another you?

baby, it’s our heart’s slow beating
that make us grow old
i mean to say there’s no one helping
we’re digging our own hole

03 | A Scarlet Letters

the smell of wet concrete
it silenced me
and brought me back to your door
it’s some kind of feeling
it’s some kind of force

i’m falling backwards
it’s like this rope we tied is around my neck
and i never wanna leave here as long as you’re mine
building the gallows
stop thinking so shallow
i’ll burn it into you

you caught me blindfolded
somehow you caught me dreaming again
i thought i’d leave you there
i thought “well, i’m still standing at your door”
it’s some kind of feeling
it’s some kind of force

i’m falling backwards
it’s like this rope we tied is around my neck
and i never wanna leave here as long as you’re mine
building the gallows
stop thinking so shallow
i’ll burn it into you
i’ll burn it into you

i’m falling backwards
it’s like this rope we tied is around my neck
and i never wanna leave here as long as you’re mine
building the gallows
stop thinking so shallow
i’ll burn it into you

i’ll burn it into you
i’ll burn it into you

04 | Stuck Under Wheels

i caught you a wish
i made you a night
out by the lake
and under the lamp lights
we screamed at the world
you told me “you’re right”
you said it was alright
you told me i was right

for you but now
we seem just a mess
of all your intentions
that you forgot to mention
that this was not a rule
to be whatever you say
only a guideline
to help me change

it’s harder to feel
stuck under wheels
grinding in motion
to keep you alright
it’s harder to see
partly because of me
and my indecision
that matters the most

day jobs pass and hours too
you ask me “how are you?”
you say “i’m sorry”
and it never will just seem enough
until i call your bluff at my funeral
bleeding fingers and muddy toes
i’ve crawled to let you know
i hate this.

then it comes to me
with speed a flash
and suddenly
i’m desperate.

it’s harder to feel
stuck under wheels
grinding in motion
to keep you alright
it’s harder to see
partly because of me
and my indecision
that matters the most

it’s harder to feel
stuck under wheels
grinding in motion
to keep you alright
it’s harder to see
partly because of me

it’s harder to feel
stuck under wheels
grinding in motion
to keep you alright
it’s harder to see
partly because of me
and my indecision
that matters the most

it’s harder to feel
stuck under wheels
grinding in motion
to keep you alright
it’s harder to see
partly because of me
and my indecision
that matters the most

it’s harder to feel
stuck under wheels
grinding in motion
to keep you alright
it’s harder to see
partly because of me
and my indecision
that matters the most
