was i born with a hole in my heart? a fatal fault at the start? tell me it's inevitable i'd end up with scars

the long drive, the coastline lookin’ out at first light

stop asking why i'm sad just know, it's enough to know i'm sad

and if i were someplace else and if i were someone else and if i were not myself would this be easier?

“i don’t think i’m alright, gordon” “i know.” “i don’t think i want to do this anymore. i want to get out. i want us both to get out.”

if you could see yourself like this, you'd have never tried it

there used to be a little girl, living in a very small house in a very small town. there isn’t a little girl there anymore. they do not last very long.

you may have made me, but i have destroyed you.

you were young, you thought you didn't have to care about anyone but you're older now and wish that you could

saw his shadow cast in my candlelight. i’d recognise him anywhere.

she is fiction she’s a curse she’s a pretty thing on a high, high shelf

don't let this darkness fool you, all lights turned off can be turned on

let that be a lesson to me, think not with my heart but with my head

but i finally got sewed up, i set a time, then i showed up now the weight of the world ain't so bad

“i don’t think i’m alright, gordon” “i know.” “i don’t think i want to do this anymore. i want to get out. i want us both to get out.”

human. you are human. along with all the failures and terrible mistakes that come with being human.

i know that you mean so well but i am not a vessel for your good intent

and i believe that yeah, dad, maybe no one is perfect, but i believe that you were pushing your luck

the doctor put her hands over my liver, she told me my resentment's getting smaller

do you know what you do with all that pain? shall i tell you where you put it? you hold it tight, till it burns your hand and you say this. “no one else will ever have to live like this. no one else will ever have to feel this pain.”

i gave you everything i had and now i want it back

take me in my damaged state walked a thousand miles to be here again

you built your kingdom around me now i’m trapped within your walls and all i want is to be free

immortality isn't living forever, that's not what it feels like. immortality is everybody else dying.

take a body to water, take a body to tundra, just take me with you as well

so i will wait for the next time you want me like a dog with a bird at your door

there will come a ruler, whose brow is laid in thorn

cause i'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin? i can finally see, you're as fucked up as me, so how do we win?

become someone's wife, forget the girl that she once was

i’ll come back for you. when this is all over. i’ll come back for you, love. i promise.

become someone's wife, forget the girl that she once was

i ask you how you're doing and i let you lie

“i do not know how long it will take me to pursue this knowledge, but i do know two things” “what's that?” “i love you” “i love you too. what's the other thing?” “you just said it.”

“some would be inspired, some would run away, and some would go mad. i don't know.” “what about you?” “oh, the ones that ran away, i never stopped.”

you will scream “i won't forget you” but i'll cover my cold ears it cannot be a lie if no one hears

there used to be a little girl, living in a very small house in a very small town. there isn’t a little girl there anymore. they do not last very long.

“if you stay, you'll die!” “then i'll die!”

always an angel, never a god

you can’t go back, darling, the time has come for moving on

i’m done thinking about it, you’re never gonna get what you want so why feel guilty about it?

i taught myself the only way to vaguely get along in love is to like the other slightly less than you get in return i keep feeling like i'm being undercut

i’m not your highness, a damsel left helpless by fright, i am a lioness, fierce as i walk through the night

if i loved you less, i might be able to talk about it more

and i love you so much, i’m gonna let you kill me.

pick your chords well, loves, but sing your notes off key you can't rehearse the chorus, but the verse is sweet

run, you clever boy. and remember me.

i get as close to looking up at the sun as i can without burning my eyes

i'll keep growing my hair out long, just to cover my eyes, and i'll keep playing that goddamn song if it keeps you alive

pick your chords well, loves, but sing your notes off key you can't rehearse the chorus, but the verse is sweet

i'll go wherever you go
