Shot in the Dark

We rode day and night
A horse of steel with broken lights
Blinded by the dark
Caring nothing for who we are
We took rest upon a hill
Seeking signs in the silent still
You made eyes on running wild
As I beseeched you like a child
You tried to love me I know you did
You racked your brain trying
To the point of lying
But matters of the heart can't be arranged
And nothing I do can bring a change
We always knew it would be this way
We fired a shot in the dark
Fed the hunger in our broken parts
Starved the voices in our heads
Telling us these feelings make no sense
I took shelter in your cold arms
As you suffocated in my longing heart
I tried to teach you to fly, you know I did
I would've made you a fighter instead of this
I believed in the beast you could've been
That you would finally see me and let me in
We always knew it would be this way
We fired a shot in the dark
Fed the hunger in our broken parts
Starved the voices in our heads
Telling us these feelings make no sense
I took shelter in your cold arms
As you suffocated in my longing heart
You tried to love me I know you did
I know you did

Tangerine Haze

They said you are
as fleeting as comets at night
They hold my hand
And tell me to open my eyes
Now I know you're defective
But maybe in time
You can prove them wrong
And change my life
In the tangerine haze you stood
Bathed in the morning sun
Coming undone
In the tangerine haze you take
Me hostage as we play
In the tangerine haze
They said you are
The reason I'm losing ground
They caress my face
And warn me to just slow down
But they don't see that glimmer
Of love hiding in your eyes
You have some damage and maybe
You're taking your time
In the tangerine haze you stood
Bathed in the morning sun
Coming undone
In the tangerine haze you take
Me hostage as we play
In the tangerine haze
You say you are
As fleeting as comets at night
But it's so unyielding
And maybe you're taking your time
In the tangerine haze you stood
Bathed in the morning sun
Coming undone
In the tangerine haze you take
Me hostage as we play
In the tangerine haze

Candy-coated Pill

He's so cute when he makes small talk
Always looks around when he stands in the hall
Like he's never been here before
Like he hasn't screwed me against these walls
I put on my best shirt and shorts
Wear my hair down to make him want me more
Watch my words so I linger in his thoughts
Let my heart blind me to his flaws
He's not that great has baggy eyes
Large nose and full of little lies
Always stutters when there's cracks in his disguise
He's so beautiful and makes me high
Love is a candy-coated pill
Goes down sweet then makes you ill
Has you leaning on a window sill
Watching the moon rise fighting the will
To walk away from the edge of his knife
And save yourself from the poison of his bite
Take a shot and down another pill
Tasting sweetness as he moves in for the kill
I'm withdrawing from this candy-coated pill
Toxic love making me ill
Vegan prince with gorgeous manly hands
Enters my flesh and drags them down my back
Stirs my insides and scrambles my soul
Gives me just enough to not let him go
And this is the language that we speak
Tell me I'm amazing then leave
Just a cold aquarian mystery
Sends me freefall in my insecurities
God nothing has made me bleed like this
Questioning the very reasons I exist
Withdrawing from the sickness of his kiss
Drained of any hope I'll be cured of this
Love is a candy-coated pill
Goes down sweet then makes you ill
Has you leaning on a window sill
Watching the moon rise fighting the will
To walk away from the edge of his knife
And save yourself from the poison of his bite
Take a shot and down another pill
Tasting sweetness as he moves in for the kill
I'm withdrawing from this candy-coated pill
Toxic love making me ill
God nothing has made me bleed this way
I'm just a stupid cliché
Withdrawing from the drug on his lips
Give anything to be free of this
Love is a candy-coated pill
Goes down sweet then makes you ill
Has you leaning on a window sill
Watching the moon rise fighting the will
To walk away from the edge of his knife
And save yourself from the poison of his bite
Take a shot and down another pill
Tasting sweetness as he moves in for the kill
I'm withdrawing from this candy-coated pill
Toxic love making me ill

Colorful Days

I won't explain
The reasons I held on
I won't make you stay
Even if you belong
I'm willing to believe
There's a greater plan
That we are better off
Forgetting best we can
Go and try
To be pleased as pie
Take the world and make it yours
Build a new life
Stop caring how I feel
I'll never be fine
Letting go of the most
Colorful days of my life
Here I go
Letting go of the most
Colorful days of my life
I won't let you know
I forget I'm alive
I just need you to believe
Strength is by my side
I need to break off
The small piece of me
That needed you to feel
incomplete without me
Go and try
To be pleased as pie
Take the world and make it yours
Build a new life
Stop caring how I feel
I'll never be fine
Letting go of the most
Colorful days of my life
Here I go
Letting go of the most
Colorful days of my life
Letting go of the most
Colorful days of my life
Letting go of the most
(Colorful days of my life)
I won't let you know
I forget I'm alive
I just need you to believe
Strength is by my side
I'll walk away with pride
Here I go
Letting go of the most
(Colorful days of my life)
Here I go
Letting go of the most
(Colorful days of my life)
Here I go
Letting go of the most
(Colorful days of my life)
Here I go
Letting go of the most
(Colorful days of my life)
Here I go
Letting go of the most
(Colorful days of my life)

Purple Butterflies

I wasted so much of myself here
I let the darkness take the wheel and steer
Let the voices take hold in my head
Let the devil take shelter in my bed
Doesn't matter who you think I was before
This place just isn't my home anymore
It'll be like shards of glass in my side
But I'm saving myself and leaving this place behind
He certainly has done enough
Tried to make mistakes I've made define who I was
Tried to kill the good in me and eat out my heart
Then God appeared like purple butterflies
Heaven picked me up and opened my eyes
Then the Lord appeared like purple butterflies
I wasted so much of myself there
Companion to the danger and monsters everywhere
I was always chasing after a feeling
Gave my flesh and let them bleed me
Doesn't matter who you think I was before
This place just isn't my home anymore
It'll be like shards of glass in my side
But I'm saving myself and leaving this place behind
He certainly has done enough
Tried to make mistakes I've made define who I was
Tried to kill the good in me and eat out my heart
Then God appeared like purple butterflies
Heaven picked me up and opened my eyes
Then the Lord appeared like purple butterflies
Heaven picked me up and opened my eyes
Then the Lord appeared like purple butterflies
He certainly has done enough
Tried to make mistakes I've made define who I was
Tried to kill the good in me and eat out my heart
Then God appeared like purple butterflies
Heaven picked me up and opened my eyes
Then the Lord appeared like purple butterflies
Heaven picked me up and opened my eyes
Then the Lord appeared like purple butterflies
