If I Stay

I was lost in the waters 
Maybe the skys didn’t know
Somehow I was there 
Was I there to let go?

But if I stay
I don’t wanna be afraid 
Of everything I don’t know 
Of everyone who does
If I stay
Will it make sense to me
Or will I just be waiting 
For an apocalypse to hit me 

I was there for a while 
It Didn’t feel right 
Cabin full of leaves 
The one I couldn’t leave

How do I know 
That your not lying to me
How do I know 
That truth will stay the same
How do I know 
In a 100 years I’ll still be me
How do I know how do I know
That if I stay there’s still hope for me

Cuz if I stay
I don’t wanna be afraid 
Thinking I’m not enough 
Or How I let you down 
If I stay
Is anything possible 
Will the good and the bad
Not really matter 

It’s somehow this way for now

Paper Houses

Its like I’m learning to walk 
All over again
Its like I’ll fall with no one
To help
I don’t wanna grow up 
Don’t wanna start again
Feels like a cloud burst 
Over my head
Hm

We’re living in paper houses
Tearing down in the rain 
When the sky falls apart 
Will the world still be searching for love
Isn’t it heavy?
Isn’t it lonely? 
To be dreaming in the dark
To be dreaming in the dark

Please take the ghosts 
Away from me
I can’t take being haunted 
Anymore
I don’t wanna be me 
Don’t wanna be them at all
Feels like I’m wrong cuz they
Understand the world 
Hm 

I’ve been dancing on broken glass
I dont know when its gonna crack 
I don’t wanna be buried deep 
With head stone covered in leaves
I wanna be found when the world comes
Looking for me 

We’re living in paper houses
Tearing down in the rain 
When the sky falls apart 
Will the world still be searching for love
It is heavy
It is lonely 
To be dreaming in the dark
Cuz I’m dreaming in the dark

Stars

it started out simple
just naps n poops
then came cereal 
and up before noon

too much happened
too soon
but i wasnt expecting it 
to be this blue

I was little 
Why did I grow up
I just don’t know what to do
About every rule
Wanna break free
But the chains don’t come off

So soon

i was happy 
just eating sand
carrying it in pockets
and all in my hair 

too much happened
too soon
but i wasnt expecting it 
to be this blue

I’ve been dancing on broken glass
I can’t  tell you when its gonna crack 
the shooting stars didnt grant my wish 
or dont i even have a wishing star
Don’t you lie to yourself when you cry
You hate it too but there’s only so much 
you can do

I was little 
Why did I grow up
I just don’t know what to do
About every rule
Wanna break free
But the chains don’t come off

So soon
