"i don't wanna hide her"

Back in high school I remember 
How I hid my prom pictures 
Told my parents I was going with a friend
But how my heart beat when I kissed her  
And I no longer wanted to whipser
But I wasn't ready to beg 

It's been a slow dance for way too long 
How much louder do you need me to be
You take every chance to hear me wrong  
So since you still don't get it 

I don't wanna hide her 
She's my favorite perfume  
I don't wanna hide her 
But you make me feel like I have to 

I‘ve got a new girl I’m obsessed 
She makes it easy to forget the rest
And my cheeks now have a permanent flush
Got her face inside my locket
And her hand sits in my back pocket
There's nothing platonic 'bout us

It's been a slow dance for way too long 
How much louder do you need me to be
You take every chance to hear me wrong  
So since you still don't get it 

I don't wanna hide her 
She's my favorite perfume  
I don't wanna hide her 
But you make me feel like I have to 

I don't wanna hide her 
She's my favorite perfume  
I don't wanna hide her 
Stop making me feel like I have to 

"THE WRAITH"

You’re bound in lilac silks 
Contrasts your dark brown eyes 
Movements like a trick 
It’s like you’re walking on the sky  
Think I found you 
Found the spy I’m looking for  
Think I found you  
You’re like the silence of a winter’s storm 

Up and down the halls 
No one hears you coming by 
More subtle than nightfall  
You made sound your own disguise 
Think I found it 
Found the spy I’m looking for 
Think I found it 
You’re like the silence of a winter’s storm 

I’ve got no guarantees but I’ll teach you how to set yourself free 
This ain’t no happy ending it’s only a new beginning  
Trade your work for reward and you’ll come to afford anything you ask for 
your voice won’t be ignored if you  
Help me fight this war  

Want you everywhere 
Be the fly on every wall 
Even up the score 
Watch our rivals bend and fall  
Think I found it 
Found the spy i’m looking for  
Think I found you 
You’re like the silence of a winter’s storm 

"Silence" 

Glass on soft lips always cuts  
Light pink turns to red
Let the shards fall in my mouth 
Tried to speak I just bled

Waters rise without a warning 
Blood turns blue to red
Close your eyes try to ignore that
There's ice above your head 
If you try to scream you might not make it
Choke on your own sound 
Sink down and down to reach the bottom
Need some solid ground

Stand tall
Puff your chest out
Don't breathe
Show them no fear
Maybe they'll let you keep your mouth

Silence is
What you will come to love
Silence won't 
Know what will come of it
Silence
Silence

Darkness swims in every shadow
Make the glass reflect
Find yourself a new calypso
Feel you must forget them
If you miss one spot 
They're sure to find you
Come up from behind
Their tiny fangs will scratch and bite you
Mem'ries start to unwind

Stand tall 
Puff your chest out 
Don't breathe 
Show them no fear 
Maybe they'll let you keep your mouth 

Silence is 
What you will come to love 
Silence won't  
Know what will come of it 
Silence 
Silence

Stand tall 
Puff your chest out 
Don't breathe 
Show them no fear 
Maybe they'll let you keep your mouth 

Silence is 
What you will come to love 
Silence won't  
Know what will come of it 
Silence 
Silence
Silence

"In My Veins"

I won the genetic lottery 
'M all smiles and ferocity
Thrust into this dichotomy 
Don't try to make me your exhibit

I'm made up of stars and champagne
Got a fire that'll never fade
How could I know there would ever be a day  
I'd be just a statistic

Don't tell me to smile  
Don't call me your baby 
I am not a prize 
You'll never win me 
I'm not here to fight
But I'll always be ready cause I'm worth so much more

I've got gold in my veins 
I pay a high price for bleeding

I learned to choose my head over my heart  
Flashed you smiles though it's just forced charm 
Will pain manage to tear me apart 
As you slip my another scar? 

Not a day'll go by that I'm left untouched 
How will I ever know who I can trust
One bite and it all just turns to dust 
But I'll still keep that burning spark 

Don't tell me to smile   
Don't call me your baby  
I am not a prize  
You'll never win me  
I'm not here to fight 
But I'll always be ready cause I'm worth so much more

I've got gold in my veins  
I pay a high price for bleeding

"Black Nail Polish"

Grey clouds above me
Go back to sleep
Repaint my ceiling
No dreaming

Black fingernail polish is chipping
Mascara runs down my face
I'm losing this race
I'm losing this

Lost undercovers
Vision is blurred
Lost my defences 
Noise relentless

Black fingernail polish is chipping
Mascara runs down my face
I'm losing this race
Black fingernail polish is chipping (I can't keep lying on the floor)
Mascara runs down my face 
I'm losing this race (I need to leave)

 

"Inside the Sun"

Deep down below the glow
A shadow of life remains
She let all her colors go
As she left on a one-way train
Inside the sun

He chipped at her heart of gold
The flecks tore up her veins
She bled 'till her skin turned cold
And tried to get rid of the pain
Inside the sun

Living in grey
And feeling just like prey
It gets so much harder to stay
Inside the sun

She picks herself off the ground
And stands like she used to
Cleans off the old battleground
And tries to become brand new
Inside the sun

 

"Stalking Silhouettes"

I memorized every magazine cover and hollows in model’s faces
Burned the images deep in my mind so I’d know just what to chase
They took up such little space

Scrutinized my own body and pinched at my skin like it was a sin
Left my food on the table and reveled at spots in my vision
I felt the world spin

I was lost stalking silhouettes
Tryna disappear
Chased shadows in an endless duet
Could never get near
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Lost stalking silhouettes

I specialized in the ways I’d make everyone think I already ate
Didn’t even want muscles to cover my bones or hold any weight
Just needed to concentrate

I was lost stalking silhouettes
Tryna disappear
Chased shadows in an endless duet
Could never get near
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Lost stalking silhouettes

All I wanted
Was to feel like I could fly
Let the wind blow me away
So I’d never have to say goodbye

I was lost stalking silhouettes
Tryna disappear
Chased shadows in an endless duet
Could never get near
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Lost stalking silhouettes
