you hurt me again and again you break me 'til there's nothing left to mend there were no bruises and you lost all of your friends and i lost every time i had to pretend did it make you feel good? did it break your heart? if we were a canvas we'd be a shitty piece of art and i'd think of the small things that you'd do in the dark is normal that i'm nauseous and that you tore me apart? was i just crazy, crazy? oh, i'm pacing, pacing you won't let me leave i even said please i don't wanna be angry, angry you're allowed to hate me, hate me just don't ever call me baby or even look at me you're smaller than you've ever been every protest is a contradiction it's as if a bad habit was a person good thing i had the guts to quit did it make you happy? did it take you far? to manipulate the story and yell at me in my car and, no, i'm not sorry for putting myself first or letting it sink in that i've never had it worse i wasn't just crazy, crazy even with my pacing, pacing and i chose to leave i could've called the police i'm allowed to be angry, angry don't care if you hate me, hate me just don't ever call me baby or even look at me

in my mind 02:12
chest pains fresh aches skin trace new person on my brain heartbreaks work breaks warm day it all feels just the same you said you wanna see my wild side split my heart open and then let's give it a try if it don't work, then i'm still on your side goodbye's just another way to keep you alive in my mind oh long drives all night shut eyes i wish that i knew what i live by but i just softly there's so much left to do hope is just another runnin' joke no, i'm not ruined i'm just building up a home i'm so high, then i'm so low i'm here for the ride but i wanna take it slow in my mind my mind, oh in my mind in my mind, oh

near 02:48
don't you love me? say you love me i'm not budging until i get my way around here chasing my fears making it clear that i only want you to stay crashing my car plugging my ears couldn't compare to you wiping my tears leaving me wondering if you were ever here i just want you near i just want you near, no i just want you near i just want you near, no i just want you near another lifetime another timeline you'll break my heart every time say you miss me that you'll kiss me all i want is a sign that i'm pretty to you running a light running inside crossing my mind and you look at both sides making me cry oh, i'm terrified were you ever here? i just want you near, no i just want you near i just want you near, no i just want you near i just want you near end of a movie and start of a novel let's just get groovy and see where our hands go done with my thinking i've just gotta let go shutting my mouth and i'm talking through dance floors i just want you near i just want you near i just want you near, no whisper in my ear i just want you near i just want you

same air 02:39
what does it take? to make you shake a little you take the cake i'll eat 'til the middle i miss that face it's my favorite place drives me insane 'cus you're so far away so, i tell you through the phone that it's hard enough to hold out 'cus when i'm alone all i see is you now i just wanna taste hands on your waist and in your hair i just wanna breathe the same air i saw go slow it makes it better i swear she knows how to make it last forever we change the pace foot to the pedal and if you win the race then who gets the medal? so, i tell you through the phone that it's hard enough to hold out 'cus when i'm alone all i want is your mouth i just wanna taste hands on your waist and in your hair i just wanna breathe the same air i just wanna breathe the same air i just wanna breathe the same air i just wanna breathe the same air i just wanna breathe the same air

unfold 02:42
baby you know you drive me crazy watch me unfold so, face me when we're alone call me your lady watch me unfold another day just another dream call me honey tell me what it means i'm not a secret that you can keep so easily i'll make you weak in the knees baby you know you drive me crazy i only want more cus i'm so sick of missing you can't get over it, don't know what to do you got me in a locket, baby picture in your wallet, baby face so nice it's got me jaded did i mention? the friction's got me so impatient baby you know you drive me crazy i watch you unfold

about

here's a couple of demos that were scrapped from the upcoming record. they're still dear to my heart. most of them I wrote a couple years ago. one of them made it on the album and is just super stripped down. i mess up a couple times, forget the lyrics, and nervously say yes instead of thanks at the end of each take, but i think that's all pretty sweet. so it's untouched for the most part. i hope u get something from this. thanks for everything, friends.
