ELENORA

hey, do you hear me?

do you hear me now?

stay near me

[name], please be here

it grows so quiet on widow’s peak.

silence shares my madness

ONLY THE LONELY SURVIVE

i’d rather hurt here than be happy somewhere else

nobody scars me like you like you do

but no one will ever be compared to you

we all heal though

but i know, a love like this will end in tragedy

burns us both to love this close

i know we won’t get out alive

but only the lonely survive

you never know to stay or go

ECHOES OF YOU

i’ve never given into madness

but i’m better now than before

but that’s not who i am anymore

you still haunt the corner of my eye

echoes of you repeating from the beating of your tell-tale heart

i just wanna make it vanish

but the notes of an old mistake still ring louder every day

a relentless refrain is the only thing that remains

DON’T MISS ME?

i guess it’s true how time can fly

i know i said that i would call

but i never think of you at all

it’s not like i/you miss your/my laughter

it’s not like i/you miss your/my face

it’s not like i/you can’t get past it

it’s not like i/you miss your/my taste

i’m just a drink away from honesty, so who knows what’s true

but i’m wondering if maybe you don’t miss me too

i don’t remember why we stayed

some people try to live instead

WISH YOU WERE HERE

mirror mirror on the wall, who’s fairer

can you save me from today’s night terror

i can’t shake this ache i carry

i can’t remember why

try not to fall, but there ain’t no stopping it

i just wish that you were here

i just wondering what do i do now

what’s a little bit of hopeless hoping?

who we are in the end what matters

i’ll say it loud, i wish you were here

YOUR GHOST

just can’t help but see your face

you never seem to manage just to disappear

but the ghost of you is always near

you are just enough

i could leave this place forever but i know i’d never sever from your ghost

my haunted heart is uneasy

it’s like every time you vanish, you’re still here

i never need to wonder

GLIMMER

saw you in black and white, bathed in the city light

got lost in the glare

can we forgive and forget?

can we catch our breath?

you can burn too bright to see

it’s funny what you find when you go without

i can see a glimmer of us

but tell me what does it mean if we could never leave it

you’ve changed but it’s not enough

i can’t get it off me

I KNEW YOU WHEN

i’ve been somewhere like this before

and it was easier back then

honey, i knew you when

i’ve been loving you too long to just suddenly move on from this

you said forever’s not enough

we were close

i thought time was supposed to heal it

don’t do shit but keep you feeling older

i’m sure you’re wondering

is this a new beginning or the start of another end?

THE DEATH OF ME

we awoke surprised to remember

the ghost of me will keep us far apart

no, you don’t deserve this

before you go, i just wanted you to know

i would love you if i could

my unsteady heart’s not ready

it’s gonna be the death of me

i would give you anything if i had anything to give left

i don’t miss her

but the truth is her ghost, it haunts me still

i don’t know how to work this 

i’ve forgotten how it feels to have my head over my heels

i don’t wanna walk away

it’s not fair to let you stay

THE KILLING KIND

the deep stares back, speaks to me

i know my love can be the killing kind

what if i was wrong ‘bout never moving on?

you were haunted too

can’t get out from under it

my love is the killing kind

you should never be here

it was me, all along

sing it for me baby

don’t love the bottle, but the bottle loves me

one for the memory, two for the pain

if madness overtakes us both, then nobody would be alone

the ghost of us can linger here

together bound in madness
