I know friends in high places And you only go to high places I know you don't care what people think But you sure could've thought about me

High Places
I tear the citrus in half Pearls of juice running down my shirt But something about the pieces taste a little bit off Just like the memories of you in my head

Citrus
The smell of my perfume is on your favourite jersey Faint notes of jasmine and secrecy The taste of my lips is locked in your memory And the sound of my laugh is lost in your reverie

Jasmine
Happiness can look but it'll never find me Sadness is my home A punching fist always seems to hit me And bruises my bones How can I sleep When I don't have peace? I've got a war in my head And I'm losing How can I sleep Without a victory? Fighting soldiers are found dead I'm losing Happiness can look but it'll never find me Sadness hides me away And my demons always seem to get me They darken my day How can I sleep When I don't have peace? I've got a war in my head And I'm losing How can I sleep Without a victory? Fighting soldiers are found dead I'm losing

How Can I Sleep?
Stuck on a white sandy shore Waves knocking on my door Cold and hurt with broken bones I've never had a place to call home I'm still a shipwreck after all this time Stuck under water, challenger deep You won't find me, I've got secrets to keep Darkness and rot covers every inch of my skin Time is gone, I don't know how long it's been I'm still a shipwreck after all this time
