Melancholy Bones

If I could paint a picture as you do
I'd picture you all the same
In technicolor brightlight
Dancing by the sunrise
As you do in my brain
We were both young when we met
And now we're jaded but well kept
As I moved onto others
Even under covers
you were the one thing I could not forget
And now i'm empty silhouettes
Lacking heart and gentle breath
I want nothing more
Than to find your door
I don't know what to say
The words all sound faded
And when they all come out
they're just so frustrated and dated
I think I truly cared
I think I truly fucking cared
Cause I know
You're alone and cold
Sitting in your melancholy bones
And I know
You're at home
Sitting in your melancholy
Bones
Sitting in your melancholy
Bones
You're crueler to yourself than you'd ever be to
Anyone else so eventually
You gotta learn how to swim
In your own paper skin
And they say you'll float terribly
On their sea of mediocrity
But you'll glide
So, gracefully
Cause I know
You're alone and cold
Sitting in your melancholy bones
And I know
You're at home
Sitting in your melancholy
Bones
Sitting in your melancholy
Bones
If you asked me to
I would run straight to you
Through hell or high water
Through mountains and forests
I would go to tell you the truth
Just say, the word
Just say, the word
Just, say it
Say it
Say it
Say it
And I will move the earth
Just say, the word
Just say, the word
Just say, the word
And I will move the earth x2

Young & Heartless

Set in the glass house you watched yourself build
The bittersweet gold turns to grey
You stumble around and hope their still here
But then your mind slowly fades
Take a second, breathe in the frost
This snow has come to stay
You see quite clearly no one at the door
But you still have sweet things to say
You say you're young and inlove
All I see is someone young and heartless
Tryna' tear themselves down to feel again
You say you don't need anyone's help
You don't need anybody else
But darling that's not true
I see you
You, break, and break and break
Just want to see a face again
Jump from the tallest heights
And hope they're standing there
The hardest part of hitting the ground
Is getting back up again with noone around
I hope, that you find your safe and sound
Far away from me and the ground
You'll fix your empty halls
But memorise them all
You say you're young and inlove
All I see is someone young and heartless
Tryna' tear themselves down to feel again
You say you don't need anyone's help
You don't need anybody else
But darling that's not true
I see you x2
I hate myself so much these days
I'm looking for help in the harshest ways
My alibi for breathing is sleep until I'm dead
Take my frame of mind and picture only the obsessed
I'm so fucking angry but not at you
I wrote this song because I know what you're turning into
So don't lock away yourself in a tomb
I've done that once, and I do it now, don't hide from the truth
