99¢ DREAMS

this won’t be easy 

this is gonna be 

beautiful 

i’m done pretending to be

what you want me to be

what you want me to be?

in the end i can’t fight what i am 

in the end 

i don’t fit with all of this 

i get a grip 

in the end 

true to my human 

has proven to be 

the hardest thing

true to my human 

has proven to be 

the hardest thing

all of my days 

convince all of my brain

that i can’t be a dreamer 

if i want to survive 

better swallow my pride

hide that i’m believer 

i’m a believer 

in the end i can’t fight what i am 

in the end 

true to my human 

has proven to be 

the hardest thing

true to my human 

has proven to be 

the hardest thing

LOS ANGELES

don’t eat me alive 

i can feel your bloodlust 

came to you hungry 

wanting to thrive 

turn me into stardust 

hundred dollar bills in a backpack 

put it in the bookshelf 

like a criminal thats never going back 

oh my god 

what do you want to give us? 

what do you have? 

you have it all 

what do you want to show us? 

don’t you know you run the show 

running straight down sunset 

hope the gutter catch my fall 

what if it’s all for nothing? 

oh my god 

driving through the desert with tears in my eyes 

honey i made it 

woke up in the midst of  sunrise 

oh my god 

hundred dollar bills in a backpack 

put it in the book shelf 

like a criminal thats never coming back 

oh my god 

los angeles 

what do you want to give us?

what do you have?

you have it all 

what do you want to show us? 

don’t you know you run the show 

running straight down sunset 

hope the gutter catch my fall 

what if it’s all for nothing?

ISLAND

if i burn one more bridge 

i’ll be an island 

hands against my ribs

endlessly fighting 

for me 

you don’t wanna know 

wanna know me 

i have teeth that tear 

through your memory 

go on without me 

know you could’ve had me 

my legs are stronger than your habits 

feet planted 

let you have it

my legs are stronger than your habits 

legs planted, let you have it 

let you have it 

i’m on an island 

what good it is 

to say something? 

but i can’t say nothing 

even if it means 

you’re gone completely 

match to kerosene 

watch you leave me 

my legs are stronger than your habits 

feet planted, let you have it 

let you have it 

i’m on an island 

SLEEPING ALONE

gotta have you 

gotta need you

gotta want you

hold you, hold you tight

gotta soothe you

gotta treat you 

treat you, treat you right 

you can’t act like 

you don’t feel it anymore 

i see you 

they see you 

it’s not a secret 

anymore

it’s not a secret anymore

you never acted upon it 

knowing that i want more

i’ll be honest 

lately i’m wide awake thinking 

as you lay there dreaming 

why are we sleeping alone? 

why

why are we sleeping alone?

can't you feel it 

fill the whole room

can we resume 

from the night

we were dancing 

in your kitchen 

and i woke up by your side 

i can’t act like 

it never happened 

anymore 

you know it 

i know it 

now the past is an open door 

spin me around again

we’re here encircling 

this internal war 

on constant repeat 

everytime we meet

what you waiting for, huh? 

you never acted upon it 

knowing that i want more

i’ll be honest 

lately i’m wide awake thinking 

as you lay there dreaming 

why are we sleeping alone? 

why

why are we sleeping alone?

BLINDSIDE

that’s when you shatter your mirror

that's when she’s in the backseat

that’s when you step away from me 

asking me what it all means

i should’ve said don’t look back

i should’ve said let me blindside you 

i should’ve said let that shit shatter

i should’ve said, i should’ve said 

i should’ve said it

won’t you just come and lay by me

i want to know how you breathe 

you steal my grace as you deflect 

i’m asking you what it all means

i should’ve said don’t look back

i should’ve said let me blindside you 

i should’ve said let that shit shatter

i should’ve said, i should’ve said 

i should’ve said it

two steps forward, five steps back 

i just wanted something good 

i think you thought you could 

wasting, wasting in my head 

the things we didn’t do 

before we fell through 

i should’ve said don’t look back

i should’ve said let me blindside you 

i should’ve said let that shit shatter

i should’ve said, i should’ve said 

i should’ve said it

TO FEEL 

i don't know how to feel 

i don't know how to feel about it all 

call me your baby 

i don't care about your past 

and you don't care about mine 

i've got secrets in my chest 

i'm hiding out 

and now isn't the right time 

i don't know how to feel 

i don't know how to feel about it all 

cause i don't know how to feel anymore 

with my defense down i see your faults 

your weaknesses 

and mine are surely showing 

i think we both should stop overthinking 

it makes a mess out of nothing 

here i am and i'm telling you it's not too much 

hand on my heart when i say it's just not enough

i don't know how to feel 

i don't know how to feel about it all 

cause i don't know how to feel anymore 

HOME

i left you wrong so many times 

you left me gone, i always wonder why

i'm not convinced it's 'bout the time 

i stand alone but you're in the room

wrapping my arms around a faded fuse

i can't waste one more day of youth 

on you

don't wanna stay here 

don't wanna go there

with you it's nowhere 

seems to be somewhere 

with you it's nowhere 

seems to be somewhere 

but i need a home 

i never chose you 

you chose me 

now my heart's seamed straight to my sleeve 

know that i'll never let you lead 

we keep on playing with grip

lacing my shoes as you start to slip 

know that we'll never be done with this 

don't wanna stay here 

don't wanna go there

with you it's nowhere 

seems to be somewhere 

with you it's nowhere 

seems to be somewhere 

but i need a home 

ROOFTOPS 

you don’t know how hard it is to

get it off my mind 

i’ve been trying lately just to 

suffocate the time 

i know she probably looked real 

pretty in that dress

i know i missed my chances 

but i still think i’d be best 

sometimes i just wish that you would 

pick up your phone 

call me to santa monica 

tell me you’re alone 

i’d say “oh you’re crazy”

you’d say “maybe you’re right

but i just need to see you tonight” 

i’ve never been to rooftops like that

i’ve never climbed from greenpoint back 

and you will always be hard to define 

but you’ll always be the chance that I missed 

i remember thinking 

life is beautiful with you

walking around williamsburg with one damn shoe 

open the kitchen window 

climb the latter to the roof

you sat there saving me 

when they all hated me 

like only you could see my truth 

i’ve never been to rooftops like that

i’ve never climbed from greenpoint back 

and you will always be hard to define 

but you’ll always be the chance that I missed 

we stared at manhattan 

i saw forever with you

but now forever’s for you and her

i cannot blame you 

i was always running 

i know i wore out your shoes

thinking is this real?

is this sincere? 

is this the right thing to do?

i’ve never been to rooftops like that

i’ve never climbed from greenpoint back 

and you will always be hard to define 

but you’ll always be the chance that I missed 

YOU FOREVER 

i've been having pills and cigarettes 

for breakfast 

here i am now 

and i'm right back where i started from 

chasing dreams uphill

feels like i will 

til my casket 

and my breath is out

but there's only one way to run 

feel like i'm not enough for anyone these days 

oh i love you more than ever these days

worry about you more than ever these days 

falling into habits i'm not sure about these days 

i said "i feel alone 

i feel so so alone" 

you say "i feel alone too

i just don't talk about it 

please don't desert me 

no one can be your everything 

i love you forever" 

hold me in embrace 

as my heart aches

and the time ticks 

you say your hands are getting old 

but your mind is such a loaded gun 

you know you're my breath 

when nothing's left 

you're my godsend 

i hope you live to see me 

embody all these dreams 

and know it all was worth it 

feel like i'm not the one in your heart these days

and i know that he'd rather have it that way

see you growing more timid each day 

turning into someone i don't recognize these days 

i said "i feel alone 

i feel so so alone" 

you say "i feel alone too

i just don't talk about it 

please don't desert me 

no one can be your everything 

i love you forever" 

time and distance is the culprit 

and we count on these telephone lines 

to tie all the love we have into a union

killing me softly every time i hear your voice 

feeling your energy resonate through me 

you bring out the child in me

you bring out my greater mind 

all the time 

makes me wonder all the time 

why can't love be enough?

i said "i feel alone 

i feel so so alone" 

you say "i feel alone too

i just don't talk about it 

please don't desert me 

no one can be your everything 

i love you forever" 

i love you forever

HOW YOU LOVE

the fears that coat my wounds 

are those made by every human thats ever left 

gone without trace 

only leaving tracks in the silence 

i’ve learned you cannot grant others 

the power to decide if you can be loved 

in the same way i cannot reject vulnerability 

entering my body to

oxygenate this blood 

but you promised, you promised 

watch my walls 

crumble down 

why don’t you 

face to ground 

is this how you love? 

how is it i’ve forgotten

everything that 

the psychic preached 

a cleansing of my body 

as its been trespassed with all you falsities 

i’ve learned you cannot grant others 

the power to decide if you can be loved 

in the same way i cannot reject vulnerability 

entering my body to oxygenate

watch my walls 

crumble down 

why don’t you 

face to ground 

is this how you love?
