Crystal Eyes [The Intro]
I notice things most others don't
A stranger's laugh or the way bubbles float
On puddles after the rain
It's fascinating, the mundane
The ordinary, basic, plain
Commonplace, average, simple days
Dismiss them as monotony
But it's inside these moments that I see
A wonderous glimmer shining
The universe reminding me
That there are still things worth finding
When I feel so lost inside
You can see beauty in the boredom
If you just know how to look for it
It rests, it breathes
Quietly
Hiding inside the in-betweens
An unassuming nothing-much
Is cast aside by eyes left shut
But
New perspectives, I often find
Burst brightly inside of a darkened mind
Shifted gaze, tilt to the head
Look up, and down, and through, and then
A pause so that I may reflect
On all these spectacles that I inspect
Tangling trees and spider webs
The way the seasons flow and ebb
All that returns from with'ring death
The heavens' height, the oceans' depth
And then the thought of all the things
That lie beyond what we perceive
I plague my brain with how and why
But over time I've realized
Oddities, we are exceptions
And therein lies the great connection
We exist, we live and breathe
Alongside all these intricacies
I think that you could see it, too
With just a moment to adjust your view
Amid the chaos, vague and blurred
The grand designs in the absurd
You make those wonders crystalize
When you view the world through crystal eyes
Look Away
I'm seein' some things I don't really wanna see
A little dark, little disturbing
Like broken glass and blood on teeth
My god, my god, I'm looking at me
​
I'm healin' wrong, a bust recovery
This isn't how it was supposed to be
The way my joints have started settling
My god, my god, can you even believe?
​
How did I get down here?
Suffocated by all the black and blue
Such a strange sensation when you
Can't even recognize you
Don't know when it happened
Well, it must have been slowly over time
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind
Oooo
​
Gettin' comfy here in the decay
In the darkest of depths where it asked me to stay
Don't look at me like that, I know it's insane
But it's two different things, what I do and I say
'Cuz I told you I'd make it, told you I'm safe
Told you that next time it won't be the same
But when I try to change,
I break under the weight
Then I check all the wreckage and can't look away
No, I can't look away
No, no, can't look away
Yuh, yuh, when I check all the wreckage I can't look away
No, I can't look away
No, no, can't look away
No, yuh, when I check all the wreckage I can't look away
​
How did I get down here?
Suffocated by all the black and blue
Such a strange sensation when you
Can't even recognize you
Don't know when it happened
Well, it must have been slowly over time
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind
Oooo
​
How did I get down here?
Suffocated by all the black and blue
Such a strange sensation when you
Can't even recognize you
Don't know when it happened
Well, it must have been slowly over time
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind
Oooo
​
Losing my mind, losing my mind
Yeah
The World Is On Fire
I met a man walking past down the hall
Suit matched his tie and he stood ten feet tall
But the secrets he'd hidden, the things he had done
Made him hate everything about who he'd become
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
​
Once knew a woman who painted her words
Preached and projected so everyone heard
How important it is to let somebody in
But her own locks where fastened too tight in the end
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
​
And I watch it burn
I watch it burn
Oh, when will they learn?
It only gets worse
When it's left undisturbed
​
I see them sitting there day after day
Wondering what kinds of things they would say
If they had for a moment someone who'd accept
All the things they've kept hidden inside of their heads
But assure them it's nothing, I promise you'll find
That it will keep creeping up into their minds
And they're cover it, smother it, hold it all back
Until, ashes to ashes
They'll reach for a match
​
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
The world is on fire
​
And I watch it burn
I watch it burn
Oh, when will they learn?
It only gets worse when it's left undisturbed
​
Once it's ignited and when it explodes
You'll be surprised by how quickly it grows
But before it consumes you, one thing you should know
Don't fear the flames when the burn is controlled
Fuchsia Lipstick
Fuchsia lipstick
In the corner of her smile
Must have missed it
Hadn't seen him in awhile
Hit me with it
No water in those words
Well, I'd been itchin'
To understand the hurt
Should I have been excited?
I reached inside my brain
Senses were heightened
But the words sounded the same
Well, I'd been frightened
All that pushin' me away
He'd been enlightened
Said I'd bite
Grabbed a knife
Shoved it right in
​
Oh, oh, everyone who covered their eyes
Oh, oh, wish they could see how much it meant
Oh, oh, the moment that you realized
Oh, oh, yeah, the day you tried on my fuchsia lipstick
​
That new reflection
Saw her meeting her own gaze
Must be refreshing
To finally fit inside your name
Made no objection
In temporary pain
But with some inspection
I came to terms and dug the grave
Took it in stride, yeah,
All that time I stuck around
So much to hide it
But we never made a sound
Held on like hyphens
Just slid between the vows
'Til it divided
Day he died
She was ripe
Yeah, she brightened
​
Oh, oh, everyone who covered their eyes
Oh, oh, wish they could see how much it meant
Oh, oh, the moment that you realized
Oh, oh, yeah, the day you tried on my fuchsia lipstick
​
Your identity is something you should never have to compromise. And there is no compromising, this is who I am. And I'm not gonna deny that for the sake of having a relationship with somebody. It's not worth it.
​
They whispered, "abomination"
Cuttin' ties, no, no relation
Stand tall, no negotiation
This is your authentication
Baby, no more hesitation
What a lovely transformation
Lipstick, lashes, affirmation
In summation
Standing ovation
​
Oh, oh, everyone who covered their eyes
Oh, oh, wish they could see how much it meant
Oh, oh, the moment that you realized
Oh, oh, yeah, the day you tried on my fuchsia lipstick
​
All My Friends
Stay out
'Til 2 AM
Rack up a tab, pay it off, and then do it again
Pay a stranger
To drive me home
Pull up my sheets, fall asleep, and then wake up alone
​
Friday, Saturday night
Sunday scaries with the fading light
Told myself we'd be all right
But all my friends keep
All my friends keep
​
All my friends keep getting high
Caught in a circle and we don't know why
Searching for something we could never find
Wanted to fly but we learned how to hide
Now all my friends keep getting high
​
Go all night
'Cuz I work all day
When it all fades to dark, light a spark, and go out with a bang
And my parents
Say I'm a shame
'Cuz I'm losing their game but I never really wanted to play
​
Friday, Saturday night
Sunday scaries with the fading light
Told myself we'd be all right
But all my friends keep, all my friends keep
​
All my friends keep getting high
Caught in a circle and we don't know why
Searching for something we could never find
Wanted to fly but we learned how to hide
Now all my friends keep getting high
​
(Oh, we don't know how to get by
We just keep searching for that high)
​
All my friends keep getting high
Caught in a circle and we don't know why
Searching for something we could never find
Wanted to fly but we learned how to hide
Now all my friends keep getting high

Alone I drive
And I feel alive
I'll go all night
And for the first time
I feel, I know
The way I must go
Concealed, this road
Is taking me home
I lost myself
I faltered, I fell
I fought like hell
I broke through my shell
It's time I leave
That mess behind me
My mind, deceased
Returns me to peace

This Weather
Uh, hey, I just walked into the party, but I never heard back from you, so I wasn't sure if you were gonna be here or not? So, jut give me a call when you get a second. Uh, really hope you're doing okay. Bye.
​
Hey, what's up? Forgot to take my meds today
Wasn't on purpose but so far I feel okay
I know that you've been worried 'bout my state of mind
But I can really promise that I'm feeling fine
The sun is shining kind of brightly, don't you think?
I just remembered there's a pile of dishes in the sink
I stopped singing in the shower when I wash my hair
I just hide behind the water 'cuz it's quiet there
I like to stare at empty walls sometimes
'Cuz they remind me of my insides
​
Some days are better than others
Some days I can't get out of bed
My sisters and my brothers
Worry 'bout the things inside my head
Try to keep my bases covered
Yeah, just ask all of my closest friends
All this weather that I'm walkin' under
I don't think it's ever gonna end
No, no
I don't think it's ever gonna end
​
Hey, what's up? I'm sorry for the late reply
I saw your message when you texted me last night
I never realized just how dark my bedroom is
'Til my phone lit up and I saw what you said
But anyway, I think I'm on the up and up
Oh, are you busy? I don't want to interrupt
Just thought I'd let you know I'm better this morning
I go through silent spells, they tend to be a warning
I keep it to myself when I'm hurtin'
'Cuz I don't wanna be a burden
​
Some days are better than others
Some days I can't get out of bed
My sisters and my brothers
Worry 'bout the things inside my head
Try to keep my bases covered
Yeah, just ask all of my closest friends
All this weather that I'm walkin' under
I don't think it's ever gonna end
No, no
I don't think it's ever gonna end
No, no
I don't think it's ever gonna end
​
I've gotta tell ya, it gets cold out there
Grab an umbrella get a coat to wear
I've gotta tell ya, it gets cold out there
Grab an umbrella get a coat to wear
I said, I've gotta tell ya it gets cold out there
Grab an umbrella get a coat to wear
I said, I've gotta tell ya
I've gotta tell ya
I've gotta tell ya
Grab an umbrella 'cuz
​
Some days are better than others
Some days I can't get out of bed
My sisters and my brothers
Worry 'bout the things inside my head
Try to keep my bases covered
Yeah, just ask all of my closest friends
All this weather that I'm walkin' under
I don't think it's ever gonna end
No, no
I don't think it's ever gonna end
No, no
I dont't think it's ever gonna
Oh, Mother
When I was younger
I felt that pull
The slowest aching
The numbness dull
You said, "I'm sorry"
But I didn't know
It was for the piece of you
You left inside my soul
Could you see it hiding
When you held me first?
In that falling January snow
Did you know I held that curse?
Is that why?
​
I feel your eyes bear into me
I feel my weight fall so heavily
Onto your shoulders
Now that I'm older
You still carry all of it
Oh, mother
Oh, mother
​
My tiny body
Could never sleep
For all the hell inside me building up
Left previews in my dreams
"How could you know that?"
You used to say
But now I know you were just wond'ring
If I'd grow and be okay
I think you felt then
I think you knew
That this life would spit on me
The same way that it spit on you
​
Do you remember?
Do you recall?
When I was just 19 and lost myself
In that empty parking lot?
I wrote you a letter
To say goodbye
But you never saw those pages
'Cuz I made the choice to try
Now I'm here aging
But it remains
And so I've learned that I must write the tune
Around that dark refrain
And each time
​
I feel your eyes bear into me
I feel my weight fall so heavily
Onto your shoulders
Now that I'm older
You still carry all of it
Oh, mother
Oh, mother
​
All those long nights
Those cries for help
When all you knew to do was hold me close
To protect me from myself
In those moments I knew for certain I was loved
Oh, mother, I hope you know that was enough
​
It was enough
Lullaby
Messed up again today
There's nothing left to say
You're hollow
You feel so hollow
All your lights blew out
There's only darkness now
With more to follow
More darkness follows
When you've given all that you can
Just to end up where you began
Take a breath, my dear, take my hand
​
This, your lullaby
It's gonna be all right
Maybe not tonight
But, darling, don't give up the fight
Rest your bones, rest your bones
It's okay to feel alone
​
Why do they all expect
Me to always be my best?
What more can I do?
I'm doing all I know how to
All the pretty words they tell
Me I know they all mean well
But have they been through
Anything that I've been through?
If you open up, shed your skin
Show me all the places you've been
Promise I'd still sing to you then
​
This, your lullaby
It's gonna be all right
Maybe not tonight
But, darling, don't give up the fight
Rest your bones, rest your bones
It's okay to feel alone
​
It can get lonely in the dark
It can get lonely in the dark
When you can't see anybody else
Standing where you are
​
This, your lullaby
It's gonna be all right
Maybe not tonight
But, darling, don't give up the fight
Rest your bones, rest your bones
I hope you know you're not alone
Rest your bones, rest your bones
I hope you know you're not alone
