Firecracker 03:10
i saw all these bright eyed kids burn up in time, violence edging it's way into their hearts but when you burn so fast yr mind falls into the past anytime any word might call it up that could be pretty bad it's not gonna change my mind but i'll get to it in time burning fires by the shore and i don't remember anyone just smiling faces in the sun and firecrackers in the twilight

Ursa 03:21
can't find my way around here in the light so i'm navigating stars at night like some ghost in the air around my head you're haunting me when i die i hope that i see you among the photons and the molecules sent from outer space to bombard earth you seem like that kinda girl but we don't (don't) wanna know and though it might seem like i like your glow i probably don't dead leaves on the ground again representatives for my only friend ursa major in the sky at night watches me in this fight see you dancing in yr funeral clothes why you live this way oh hell only knows taking walls of pills and blacking out is something you can't seem to live without but we don't (don't) wanna know and though it might seem like i like your glow i probably don't

Wasted 03:15

Bee 02:44
i feel so good it hurts my body i love when she stings me softly feels so good when i can't breathe my girl brings me to my knees and when i watched you cry in the car that one time i reached my hands into the sun and i got burnt and came undone i can't stand when i am like this hovering above the floor i can't fight this how long does it really take to break a heart and get a break? i saw her eyes i heard her voice she faced a flood and made a choice she stole a sign she killed some time she said i am the sun, i am the night i feel so good it hurts my body i love when she stings me softly feels so good when i can't breathe my girl brings me to my knees

Vermont 03:47

Katabasis 04:13
i was afraid that i couldn't dream for about 8 months before we got clean lonely aphotic memories of sleep but when i wake up i don't feel anything we're earthbound in new york a sunrise unbroken, refracting through the air though i don't feel much of anything but there's safety in god's hands ions change places in space in waves bending, crashing back onto the coast fractal endings sometimes i hear it come out of the night, don't know why i can't keep close friends swept out by time we're colliding with new york the rays bent and tried to guide you back to your home but did you forget your exile? there's safety in god's hands when you die, i'll go to hell make a deal with the devil to send you back around

Alt Kid 101 03:01

9.
Kyasarin 03:18

Dusk 06:47
running down my street, it follows me. omagatoki, from the trees, it's watching me. (i've seen the aurora borealis in yr eyes, and when i define it, i'll try to explain it for you.) and i'm so nervous, yeah i'm so tense i can't keep going on like this faltering through the half-light on my hands, i can feel it tear my muscles from their bones. (i've seen the aurora borealis in yr eyes, and when it inundates you, make sure you say sorry before goodbye) like times new viking once said there is no hope for those without time congratulations you're way cooler than all of us and you're way smarter than all of us and i've got nothing but love for you in my heart
12.
Morning Star 07:54
shining like a bell your body quakes i can't stand to be awake like this let me fall asleep did you think this could happen to you? i don't want to think. went to the library picked out something you would like from montauk to albany i've been wasting all my time i've been through the paces of what is real and what is lie lying naked on yr bed i wish i could get high i wish i could get high i don't know but i been told the morning star is getting old how could i think that this wouldn't happen to you and all of my friends? how could i think that this disease wouldn't take you in the end? cuz she's gone and she's never coming back even when she comes back now my head is filled up with yr sweat and yr perfume and the noises in my head become the noises in the room and i know that i told you to spend all of yr money on drugs and to die young but then again, how could i outlive you? and if you live in the dark you will love in the dark and if you love in the dark you will lie in the dark i said i don't know but i been told the morning star is getting old how could i think that this wouldn't happen to you and all of my friends? how could i think that this disease wouldn't take you in the end? cuz i'm gone and i'm never coming back even when i come back even when i come back
