1.	What You Do When You're Alone 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Verse Convince me to let go I don’t take it slow Leave me in a puddle on your doorstep Call me how you feel Make it something real I’ll try to forget it in the morning Pre You could tell me anything I’d believe you Fill me up with fantasies I’ll dream with you If you take a chance you know I’ll complete you We could give it a try Chorus I don’t want to go So please don’t ask me I don’t want to know What you do without me I wish I wasn’t such a lovesick girl Making you into my whole damn world I see the ending but I’m still holding on Verse Can you give me what I need Eat me bittersweet Tell me twice but I don’t want to listen Can you open up the walls Watch me as I fall You make me think that you’re the piece I’m missing Pre You could tell me anything I’d believe you Fill me up with fantasies I’ll dream with you If you take a chance you know I’ll complete you We could give it a try Chorus I don’t want to go So please don’t ask me I don’t want to know What you do without me I wish I wasn’t such a lovesick girl Making you into my whole damn world I see the ending but I’m still holding on Outro What you do when we’re alone
2.	Avalanche 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Verse I, I thought I could never escape All the patchwork inside of myself Inside of myself I, I’m hoping that someone could see Through the masks I collect on my shelf On my shelf Pre You made me feel bad for the things that I said when I was sad Thought you could see the fence around my bones Meant to keep me protected Chorus Can’t take back what you can’t take back Bury me in cold like an avalanche Pulled from the ice, you know You got me all night You got me all night Fill me up with your gasoline Dancing with the light just to fuck with me Tied to the pyre, you know You got me all night You got me all night Verse I am starting to crave the adrenaline crashing around in my head Cause you never never let me go Pre You made me feel bad for the things that I said when I was sad Thought you could see the fence around my bones Meant to keep me protected Chorus Can’t take back what you can’t take back Bury me in cold like an avalanche Pulled from the ice, you know You got me all night You got me all night Fill me up with your gasoline Dancing with the light just to fuck with me Tied to the pyre, you know You got me all night You got me all night Guitar Solo Chorus Can’t take back what you can’t take back Bury me in cold like an avalanche Pulled from the ice, you know You got me all night You got me all night Fill me up with your gasoline Dancing with the light just to fuck with me Tied to the pyre, you know You got me all night You got me all night
3.	Snails 03:08	lyrics	buy track
VERSE Late night, buzz cut, i’m dreaming T-shirt, yeah my words are like a loaded gun Lost keys and mornings run through my head Hands up, tied to a street sign Bad cause i don't know the damage i have done Somehow I still want to make it out PRE Half cup, take a little off the ending CHORUS All the games We said we’d never run into that Kinda phase Forgetting all the promises we used to make Now we’re just under pressure Dynasty I’m tired of always missing opportunities Bare minimum for trying what we could’ve been now snails eat our letters VERSE 2 Leave it to chance, i’ll forgive you No strings attached if somebody else decides Face off, you know that i’m with you Heartburn when the corner is too sharp White teeth, diamonds hidden in the tool shop I don’t get what it means when i full stop PRE Big call, give me credit for pretending CHORUS All the games We said we’d never run into that Kinda phase Forgetting all the promises we used to make Now we’re just under pressure Dynasty I’m tired of always missing opportunities Bare minimum for trying what we could’ve been now snails eat our letters INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS AGAIN
4.	Shoot Me in the Grocery Line 02:55	lyrics	buy track
Verse Don’t wanna let you in and fuck it up You know I always stand my ground Too good at keeping my composure up Put on a smile for the crowd Pre No, I don’t even care I don’t even care, I don’t give a I don’t wanna share, baby don’t you put me on the spot Don’t know how I feel, I can’t even put it into words... Chorus But you know I’m hurt, hurt Just a little more than, you might have heard, hurt Just a little more when, you know I’m Patching bullet holes with cartoon tape, Shoot me in the grocery line You know it hurts, hurts, hurts Verse 2 Maybe I’m mad that you’re not noticing The mosaic you left of my heart A million pieces shattered everywhere, barely holding on, but you tell me that its art Pre But like, I don’t even care I don’t even care, I don’t give a If you’re unaware, maybe we should take it from the top Hate the way I feel, I can’t even put it into words... Chorus But you know I’m hurt, hurt Just a little more than, you might have heard, hurt Just a little more when Patching bullet holes with cartoon tape, Shoot me in the grocery line You know it hurts, hurts, hurts
5.	Drunk 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Verse Waking up to the site of a bomb I’m like a hurricane but your just made of straws Yeah you tell me i’m out of control But i don’t care because you’re just collateral Pre If i’m on the edge Would you hold me down Even if i’m obsessed With the thought of drowning Give me something real That i can pick apart I’ve got athat new alarm system set up for my heart Chorus I only drink so i get drunk eh drunk eh drunk I’m Queen of sabotage, one shot, i’m done Throwing up on the bathroom floor Had enough but i’m wanting more Never know what i really need Fuck it up Fuck it all ah Verse Show up to the wedding in a white dress I see everything i ever do as content Don’t believe you when you say that i'm your best friend Cause im self destructive I cant keep up with any change I take it personally Maybe its just a passing phase but
6.	Growing Pains 02:53	lyrics	buy track
Verse I think I might hate it all Can’t lift my feet off the floor Talking to friends is a chore I think their boyfriends are boring All our paths might be fraying in different directions Holding on might be making it harder to change I thought you could be the one I gave you half of my whole I’ve never felt this much hurt Emotional power surge It’s not our fault this won’t work out the way I wanted I gave up, lost some blood, now my visions distorted Chorus Falling out faster than I ever knew Lost my mind and losing all the company I’m so used to can’t I have it the way it was Totally in denial I Hate the fact that I’m better off On my own so if I Make it out, I’ll be looking back on your name as growing pains Verse 2 Don’t think that I can find love I left my soul in your cuffs Saw you were holding her hand Surprised that I didn’t care I know that time’s meant to heal me and every wound But I don’t hurt in the way that I’m used to Discover every mistake I’m forced to try a new face I don’t know who I can be When you’re not a part of me Sometimes I feel like I’m saying too many wrong answers Yeah I’m cycling backwards It’s just overreaction

8.	twenty five 02:50	lyrics	buy track
Verse I wanna fall I wanna run I wanna jump again I wanna feel like how I did at twenty one again Wanna believe there’s a good person in my mum again I wanna laugh I wanna cry but for the right reasons I wanna fall in love without thinking I don’t mean it I wanna open up the door you locked two years ago Chorus I’m getting old now even though I’m 25 I’m running out of years to figure out my life Don’t want to be the culmination of my parents mistakes I wanna escape Verse I wanna say what’s on my mind to someone listening But I’m terrified that they won’t like the things I really think Covered in metaphors so no one knows I’ve been saying I wanna be myself without caring what others see I wanna trust that all my friends won’t leave eventually Want to believe that I am capable of safe and happy Chorus I’m sick of thinking that it’s cooler not to care When all that I want is for someone to want me there Without expecting that it’s gonna cause me pain I wanna change I wanna change I wanna change I wanna change Maybe i’ll change
