When I was a child
I used to be afraid of the dark
Because of the unknown things that hide in it

Now that I'm older
I've realized
The only unknown
Hiding in the shadows
It's the ghost of who we used to be.

A paper crown
And a heart made of glass
A tattered gown
And her kingdom of ash
She walks alone
She can never look back

The story of a queen
Whose castle has fallen to the sea

She'll make it out
But she's never the same
She's lookin' down
At the scars that remain
But you hold your ground
Though your kingdoms in flames

She's looking out
From the war that's inside
She's screaming out
'Cause no one survived
But when you're all alone
You wait and you hide

When all she needs, and all she wants
When all she finds
When all she is, and ever was
Is compromised
'Cause there's no one to love you
When you build your walls too high

And there's no one to love you
When you trapt yourself inside
Paper Crown  - Alec Benjamin

Broke your heart on your birthday
I would call but I don't know what I could say
Only skin, only bone, and I'm flawed
Crying in your parents' garage
So I'll sew my eyelids shut
So I don't have to be reminded of us
'Cause everywhere that I go is a photo
Every night I'm in bed with the vertigo

Anxiety inside extremities
I'm losing touch, I got a tendency
To ruin all the things that I love
I could make amends
But you know I had enough, oh man
Not right now
You would think that I would feel alive by now
Twenty something years and I'm still so down
Contemplate on moving like my legs tied down, oh no
Try to coincide, lack on my back and the void is inside
I can see my faults in the ceiling every night

So I'll drive all night through my home town
You can drive your knife through my chest now
I'ma crash my car by your old house
'Cause all I'll ever be is a letdown
Letdown - Nothing, Nowhere

now i have a few mistakes of my own in the bill
and i’m learning to live with them
everyday
slow process
regardless what people think (and keep that in mind)
I take my time
for rebuild the wounds
let them close and heal
until it only remains the scars
the ones who make me even more beautiful
they show I survived

A piece of paper floats down
All them answers? To the ground
Where I wait lying on my back
Sleeping and dreaming that I could feel the lack

A beautiful moon lights a cold room
I'm not there
I'm not there
Pristine heart - Beat!Beat!Beat!

I look at you sometimes and think
Wow, how little we know about each other
If not the parts we choose to show

But the trick, darling
Is only listen to the things you do, not the things you say

And for me
The way you try to fix things says everything about you.

I fell in love with your silence
it gave me room to imagination

enough

to create a reality
where we’re still in love
