do you see this it’s rough it looks smooth but it is rough do you see this it’s rough i look smooth but i am rough i’m an actor i’m a good sport i leave the house i talk to boys and i come home and i take it off
2.
reach inside i’ve got a clue i'm not afraid of loving you i need to feel the warmth of her but don’t put all my worth on yours (i know) reach inside i’ve got a clue im not afraid to tell to you how much i feel alive and well like water does when it starts to melt tell you secrets in my bed hope morning light will come again
3.
corners of bedrooms i left you in darkness i’m sorry i needed a space far from this room it is not that fulfilling to stay in one place (tickle my spine) painted my friends they are standing together and yelling my name painted my lover alone in a chair that i left in the rain (riddle me good) crawl into my mouth i’ll swallow you whole
4.
you think you love me well look at me now i’m a mess in my bed and you’re not gunna get me out faces on paper i draw what i feel i’m a girl in the summer a boy in red heels hands in the dirt and my nose to the ground i can smell what i miss and i miss being held spin me in circles my hands on your hips we will dance to the songs that i always wanna skip love me or leave me just kidding, don’t need me around anymore
5.
restless mind it’s about time to follow me into the sea the cold water will shake our bones and i will feel a little bit more free restless mind the changing tides will pull us far and pull us wide i’m not afraid of sinking deep my love for land will not win this heat restless mind i know you’ll find the time to love when time is right have i felt like this before?
6.
i wish i held you like you wanted me to i wish i spoke in softer words to you i am alone inside of my room it’s a shame that the sun has gone along with you i live inside my head i hold a lot of regret i lack motivation i’m a piece of flesh (when i’m alone) i’m a piece of flesh learning to feel home
7.
i know the streets are bustling and i wish the trees were hallow just for me and my friends so we’d eat chocolate pudding 'til we felt like fucking hell i wish the trees were hallow just for me and i’d eat chocolate pudding 'til i felt like fucking hell!

For Sophia 04:09
wake up the morning sun will rise and i’ll meet you by the water we’ll dip our toes inside let your thoughts come free let them pass though with the tide let anger be at sea i left you inside my head and even though you’re dead your energy is keeping me alive night time comes as a surprise but the stars they hold the light of a million other nights i miss the way that i i was always by your side you were always by my side i left you inside my head and even though you’re dead your energy is keeping me alive know it’s really hard being out this late and in the dark i still see your face i left you inside my head and even though you’re dead your energy is keeping me alive

Solace 02:30
we’ve gotta find solace in something less cold and we’ve gotta be kind to each other and hold it’s a baby, it's mine and i’m ahead of time and the future looks hopeful but you seem less kind we’ve gotta find solace in something less cold and we’ve gotta believe in a truth that is closer in space but i know that you’re drifting away and i’ll come here to meet you but i will not stay we’ve gotta find solace in something less cold and we’ve gotta be kind to each other i know it is harder than it looks to give more than take but i’m happier when i am living that way we’ve gotta find solace in something less cold and we’ve gotta be kind to each other and hold it’s a baby, it's mine and i’m ahead of time and the future looks hopeful but you seem less kind and i’ll come here to meet you but i will not stay cause i’m happier when i am living this way
