Don't you want to know what my lips taste like "Don't you want to know why I've been waiting outside?" she said If you say it now I'm not sure I can take it It's been four years of waiting on the other side of friends Oh but I'm thinking don't you want to, don't you want to get a little taste of me I've been running circles backwards Just trying to say your name Don't you hear it, can't you feel it The magic in the air, four years it's been there [Chorus] I want you to run to me, feel my name touch your mouth whisper so sweetly that this becomes holy ground I've been desperately trying to do without But I want you, and I've wanted you since you were 17 You touch me and take me back to when we met again Like the time capsule's between your fingertips Whisper in my ear so sweetly at thirteen Oh, I am falling for the ghost that nobody else can see Oh but babe I want to, oh I want to feel you in my veins Getting closer, coming up on the cliff of 23 I've been fighting, staying alive and craving your ghostly sound not sure if anyone hears it, but I understand it now [Chorus] We could make it better If we could make it better If we could just feel better They all say it gets better And it just got better for me [Chorus]

25, you have 25 I have nineteen times around You say a couple words and i fall in love with the way the vowels hit the edges of your mouth I've got such good intentions, i won't get in the way of this life that you've had roaring like it's breaking out of its cage and this isn't the first night your honesty breaks me [Chorus] Baby you don't want me, don't want me at all And baby you don't need to say it anymore I know the ways these thoughts will play around your head You say if only i did, "If only i did we'd be the best damn thing i have ever had" There's no way now that you can take those words back I'll spend the rest of the year trying to fall for someone else's kiss if only i did, if only i did 17, I was never good at staring You were always better showing off We're on your bed and just separated by two layers of cloth And i've got such bad intentions, i want my heart broken your words sound like they're poison and I want to be choking There's always been a hope that soon you'll wanna try take these years of hurt, and see me in a different light [Chorus] You'd be so good to me And I'd be so good to you You'd be so good to me And I'd be so good right back to you Who can I love if I just love you How do I heal if I just keep getting bruised You turn the corner and I still only see you The next time you're here we don't even speak you touch my hand and it helps me breathe I'm gonna drown inside your tenerife [Chorus]

Demon 04:43
Oh pretty girl, settle down I'm not trying to kill you Remember the first time that we met? I said you could be beautiful if you gave more of yourself You were ten But you worked for it and now I've made it easier In your kitchen I just watch you scream And maybe you should try to let me in more I can't help you breathe But you'll lose all you've gained it's just a give and take you bleed and ache, they love you more You'll just have misery, either way but you choose what's healthiest [Chorus] But do you really want that more than love? Do you really want that more than her hands around your waist? 'Cause you know if you stop the drugs You'll lose your mind but look like you've won the race You don't have to worry anymore I'll take care of it I have my hands tied to your wrists And you don't have to fight this anymore We could stain her now but it's worth the risk, it's worth it You know that it's just five Well get there overnight Give me an inch I'll run a mile for you No one will know this pain Don't you dare say anything We do what we have to do [Chorus] How can you sleep How can you eat, breathe, close your eyes and wake up free I stay alive, just give me one day at a time If I take the options off the table I see them sewn into my sleeve I lost the weight that you told me to Destroyed my health and sanity And no one loved me more as a skeleton My personality gone, burned with the calories When the lights are out in this midnight house The darkest demon is still inside myself Haunting my bones like a ghost story Telling me not to tell anyone else But I choose life, I choose hope I choose to spend nights alone instead of letting you both hold My broken body, my sanity My tired voice, when you have me by the throat and you suffocate me I won't die I'll be crying and trying to just get through the night We all have battles we're born to win And I promise you this is mine, this is mine

Introduction 02:45
Do you not think you're perfect Do you even know who you are I have watched your lips draw perfect lines Across a thousand lonely heart Lately you've been talking louder Not sure you'll ever love at all You said the future's all in question Once mine is finally about to start And I could save the world I could be your girl Could let you fall in love and I want to survive Just get through a night Trying not to think about us [epic bass drop]

about

We make a lot of music. We make it for ourselves, for each other, about ourselves, about our scars and dreams and the ways they collide. Independently we make a lot of music. Together, though, it's taken a while.

Three years ago we met in a high school computer lab, and over those three years our music has found its shape. We've built so many songs just to trash them. We've been growing, and learning, and finally everything's in place to show you what we've been crafting.

We have given this EP our hours, hearts, hands, voices, and everything else in the kitchen sink. We're so excited to show this to you, but you should know, we have something big behind our backs. This is the start, the introduction. We hope you like it enough to stick around and see what else we can come up with in our bedrooms. The songs will get bigger, and better. That's the plan. That, and find some time to save the world.
