light the way.

STAY FROSTY ROYAL MILK TEA.

i think i got too many memories getting in the way of me.

some princes don’t become kings.

you only get what you grieve.

the only thing stopping me is me.

it seems like the whole damn world went and lost its mind.

all my childhood heroes have fallen off or died.

even at the best of times i’m out of my mind.

THE LAST OF THE REAL ONES.

i was just an only child of the universe, and then i found you.

you are the sun and i am just the planets.

you were too good to be true.

what’s inside you?

i know this whole damn city thinks it needs you, but not as much as i do.

you’re the last of a dying breed.

i wonder if your therapist knows everything about me.

i’m here in search of your glory.

there’s been a million before me.

my head is stripped just like a screw that’s been tightened too many times.

i’m here at the beginning of the end.

if they find you, i will protect you.

i’m done with having dreams.

you drain the fear from me.

HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T.

i never really feel a thing.

i woke up.

i took too many hits off this memory.

i need to come down.

hold me tight.

hold me tight, or don’t.

this isn’t how our story ends.

i got too high again.

i love you to death.

i can’t pretend we were lovers first.

were we ever friends?

i’m past the limit.

the distance between us sharpens me like a knife.

WILSON ( EXPENSIVE MISTAKES ).

i was gonna say something that would solve all of our problems.

i got drunk and forgot what i was talking about.

there’s nothing more cruel to be loved by everybody.

there’s nothing more cruel to be loved by everybody but you.

i’m gonna run away and never see any of you again.

i hope the roof flies off and i get blown to space.

i always make such expensive mistakes.

you’re the eighth wonder.

i’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker color.

i’m on the wrong side of paradise.

i didn’t plan on showing up at all.

i hate all my friends.

i miss the days when i pretended with you.

CHURCH.

if you were church, i’d get on my knees.

you’re holy to me.

take the pain.

you’re doomed but just enough.

i love the world but i don’t love the way it makes me feel.

it’s getting hard to know what’s real.

i’m just a human trying to avoid certain doom.

HEAVEN’S GATE.

if there were any more of me, i’d give it to you.

one look at you and i’m on that faded love.

i’m a missile that’s guided to you.

go out in the world and start over again.

would you give me a boost?

i got dreams of my own.

i want to make your dreams come true.

please come through.

you’re the one habit i just can’t quit.

CHAMPION.

we’ve made a mistake.

i’m back with a madness.

i’m the champion of people who don’t believe in champions.

i got nothing but dreams.

i’m just young enough to still believe.

i’m young enough not to know what to believe in.

if i can live through this, i can do anything.

i got rage every day.

the only thing i do is sit around and kill time.

SUNSHINE RIPTIDE.

i don’t even have my own attention.

you say don’t ever change, but you don’t like me the way i am.

don’t ever change.

the world tried to burn all the mercy out of me.

i’m just playing house.

i have no idea what i’m doing now.

there’s not atheists in foxholes.

the pressure is getting to me.

it’s time to throw in the towel.

you came in like a wave when i was feeling alright.

you are my truest feeling yet.

i love you so much.

i love you so much, it’s like oxygen.

i do the best with what i have.

YOUNG AND A MENACE.

we’ve gone way too fast for way too long.

we were never supposed to make it half this far.

i lived so much life.

i think god is going to have to kill me twice.

oops, i did it again.

i was young and a menace.

i woke up on the wrong side of reality.

there’s a madness coursing right through me.

i’m here flying off the deep end.

i’m here to become the best yet.

BISHOPS KNIFE TRICK.

i’m pedal to the metal.

this is my pity party.

these are the last blues we’re ever gonna have.

let’s see how deep we get.

the glow of the city will lead us back.

the glow of the city will lead us back to places we should have never left.

i don’t wanna live inside a cage.

i’m struggling to exist with and without you.

i know i should walk away.

i’m trying to get it all back.
