Distant Circles

We're at it again
Distant Circles
I've already been around
Hating you
It was a renaissance
It was a dim séance
It was a disappointment
In your eyes
We're at it again
Two ships in darkness
And I've already passed you now
82
It's just a moment in time
Embarrassing every night
It was a disappointment
In your eyes
We used to be kids
And now we're orphans
The ring was too tight and I'm
Losing you
It was a ringing sound
We're throwing rocks that we found
It was a disappointment
In your eyes

Yellow 5

The sunshine
Burns like Yellow 5
They say I'm colorblind
But goldenrod feels right
The people who know me
Say I'm a liar
I saw orphans throwing rocks
Into the fire
I'm going down
The deep end
Square one blues
Who was I back then?
I'm standing up
'Cause I exist
Does it hurt for you?
If I was famous,
Would you treat me different?
Would you run screaming?
'Cause that's what I'm feeling
I wanna shrink down
And leave this town
Get my voice back
Get my friends back
I'm going down
The deep end
Square one blues
Who was I back then?
I swear to god
I wanna live
Does it hurt for you?
I'm going down
The deep end
Square one blues
Who was I back then?
I swear to god
I wanna live
Does it hurt for you?
Doesn't hurt anymore

I Was Wrong
03:04

The river you're crossing
The forest will haunt you
You feel the ground move under your feet
'Cause since we were fighting
Hallucinate lighting
They shoot me in the back in the street
I shouldn't have seen that
I shouldn't have said that
I shouldn't have done what I did
I shouldn't have done that
I shouldn't have done that
I shouldn't have done what I did
There's patterns in my mind
There's exits I can't find
I built this place but I can't get out
I'm waking up screaming
A dead person called me
I hear your voice when I'm in the dark
I shouldn't have seen that
I shouldn't have said that
I shouldn't have done what I did
I shouldn't have done that
I shouldn't have done that
I shouldn't have done what I did
If I could be the one to release you from your nightmares
And the fight or flight response you have to life
If I could be the one to release you from your anguish
The best that I can do is say I was wrong
I was wrong

Stop My Heart
03:09
|

|
And I can't stop hearing you
In my dreams I'm running out
Of lies to make it true
And I can't stop running
Don't stop beating I'll stop, I'll stop my heart
Stop beating, I'll stop my heart
I'll stop my heart
Don't stop beating, I'll stop, I'll stop my heart
Stop beating
I'll stop my heart
I'll stop my
And I can't stop tellin' lies
And I can't stop freaking out
Inside all the time
And I can't stop runnin'
Don't stop beating I'll stop, I'll stop my heart
Stop beating, I'll stop my heart
I'll stop my heart
Don't stop beating, I'll stop, I'll stop my heart
Stop beating
I'll stop my heart
I'll stop my
I'll stop my heart
I'll stop my heart
Don't stop beating, I'll stop, I'll stop my heart
Stop beating
I'll stop my heart
I'll stop my

Friendship Necklace
02:07
|

|
It's like obsession and
I hear your voice again
Have I been checking in?
I think you know I've been
I've been surrounded
In broken pieces
I've been corrupted
I made you Jesus
I've been surrounded
In broken pieces
Made you a necklace
I was so desperate
I don't remember if
I've taken them or not
Or if I took too much
Would you watch me please?
I've been surrounded
In broken pieces
I made you breakfast
You made me Jesus
I've been surrounded
In broken pieces
Made you a necklace
I was so desperate

Do Whatcha Do
02:29
|

|
I can't believe where this is going
This conversation's getting out of hand
Do whatcha do with this now baby
Do whatcha do
Do whatcha do with this now baby
And I'm waiting for a reply
And I drown in regrets on the receiving end
And when I sleep I dream of nowhere
And when I dream I dream alone
Do what you do with this now baby
Do what you do
Do what you do with this now baby
And I'm waiting for a reply
And I drown in regrets on the receiving end

Straight out of my nightmares with you
We built and we built and we burned everything
Does it mean nothing to you?
Built and we built and we lost everything
Is that your car outside my house?
Is that your car outside my house?
I'm not into resolutions, with you
We tried it back then and I try to forget
Does it mean nothin' to you?
Built and we built and we lost everything
Is that your car outside my house?
Is that your car outside my house?
I'm not into resolutions
I'm not into resolutions
I'm not into resolutions
Straight out of my nightmares with you
You know where I am and I can't see a thing
Does it mean nothing to you?
We built and we built and we lost everything
Is that your car outside my house?
Is that your car outside my house?
I'm not into resolutions
I'm not into resolutions
I'm not into resolutions

Decent
01:41

If I can be decent, you can too
And if you're not, I wish you the best
If I could be decent, you can too
And if it hurts, I understand
And I keep falling, back and forth
In a trap set by a friend
If I could just see this the way you do and
Are you here? Please understand
Is picking up the pieces a waste of time?
Never enough, again and again
And I keep falling, back and forth
In a trap set by a friend
And I keep falling, in and out
In the same trap again and again
