The girl with wings finally appeared again
The last time we saw her she was going to ascend
The world was made in a rye field
From her hands and an orange peel
Not even she could be saved from the cliff
I am watching her fall and breaking it all
I dive after and take her in my grip
I don’t have wings, I forgot what I saw
I don’t want to face my fears
I don’t want to grow up
I know that my fears are here
I can feel them whisper in my ear
Girl with wings save me from death
Not mine but the tree from which I came
She won’t remember me, but rest assured
Deep In her mind she holds my name
I watched the winged female fall off the cliff
She will deserve it
I watched the winged female fall off the cliff
She will deserve it
She sent my grandmother off it first
I know this is going to hurt
She sent my grandmother off it first
I know this is going to hurt
I don’t want to face my fears
I don’t want to grow up
Nanny, act normal, you’re making me scared
My fears are in my ear

Moonlit Scream

I’d rather be a candle than a star
The brightest candle you’ve ever seen
Hear me, here’s me covered in tar
I’m a solar beam, I'm a moonlit scream
I don’t shove paper planes down your throat
Cause then you couldn’t talk, And If you didn’t talk
I’d hurt Conor so bad he’d look like a goat
He’d look so good, I would taste him the most
I’ll just die and make it up later
Later being a synonym for never
And I like to think that I’m really clever
Oh just feed me to your alligators
We don’t set your being alight
Or throw you off a boat
And all the claims that you feel alright
Only make you feel worse in your coat
Covered in oil wishing to go home
Covered in oil wishing to mace bones
Covered in oil and covered alone
Covered in oil making you moan

Ticonderoga pt.1

Well the grape vine told me
You had a perky soul
The only time I’ve truly known you
Was when you lost control
I don’t mean to act like you’re gone
I should just enjoy it
Well I can’t right now cause there is long
Ocean between us
And if I could fly
And turn back time
I wish I could have know you
In Ticonderoga
You won’t recall
But we made a call
A FaceTime conversation
To converse about this situation
And since you asked
I’m 17 going on 18
I don’t mind saying it again
I’m 17 going on 18
And If I hug you
Could I feel a light
That light that you had
In Ticonderoga

I should just be enjoying you while you’re here
It’s so messed up how I’m preparing my self for your passing
But I’m 17
Going on 18
I hate 18
I at least want you to hear me sing
I love you a bushel and a peck
And I hug around the neck
And more stuff like that

Old as a Rock

My sweet wife
You forgot all about last night
Our days are getting shorter
And I'm afraid your brain is being destroyed by a morter
Your memory is fading
Your memory is erasing
From something I don't know
But I don't want you to go
Remember me please
Remember me darlin'
Cause we're getting old as a rock
And we don't know when to stop
Because we're old as a rock
And we'll keep going until we drop
Because we're old as a rock
And we don't know when to stop
Because we're old as a rock
Someday we're gonna drop
We would sit on porch
On the swing
In the rain
And to this day
It hasn't changed
Exept for you
You're not the same
Because you're
forgetting me.
Why are you forgetting me?
I am the love of your life.
Please just say... you'll be alright. You'll be alright
Remember me please
Remember me darlin'
Cause we're getting old as a rock
And we don't know when to stop
Because we're old as a rock
And we'll keep going until we drop
Because we're old as a rock
And we don't know when to stop
Because we're old as a rock
Someday we're gonna drop
Cause we're getting old (x4)
Cause we're getting old as a rock
And we don't know when to stop
Because we're old as a rock
And we'll keep going until we drop
Because we're old as a rock
And we don't know when to stop
Because we're old as a rock
Someday we're gonna drop

I stayed on the edge of town
To watch nothing go away
Should I go back to the cliff
To just accept my fate
I’ve heard from my memories
That adults are just dead kids
I despise their lack of living
Yet I don’t think I’ve actually lived
Go on the radio to say “oh no, our souls are going home”
Go on the radio to say “oh no, I think I saw snow where I wanted to go”
By the way thanks for the extra water
I’ll believe you it was planned
But I won’t be giving it to my daughter
Cause I don’t know if I want a daughter
Thanks for the dying planet
Thanks for the money that cause this damage
I guess I’m here to save your ass
From this planet I’m also dying in
Oh bi the way I’m just gonna say it
I like boys and I cannot forget it
I wouldn’t say I’m gay but I’m hanging off the cliff with just one finger
Go on the radio to say “oh no, our souls are going home”
Go on the radio to say “oh no, I think I saw snow where I wanted to go”
I went on the radio to say “oh no, I don’t know which way to go, but I know where I’m going”

the Cliff pt.2

The girl with wings is yet to appear again
If I ever see her I will make her ascend
I’m standing on the edge of a cliff and she will shove me off
I won’t let her do that cause my mind is taut
I won’t let her shove me off that cliff
I don’t want to deserve it
I won’t let her shove me off that cliff
I don’t want to earn it
Saw her across the field looking so uptight
Adrenaline pulsing I’ll shove her with all my force and might
She saw me coming and opened up for a hug
I kept on running but when I touched her she’s gone
I won’t let her get away from me
She’s on my back I want to bleed
I won’t let her get away from me
I don't want to be set free
When my foot touches the floor of that ravine
My spirit will no longer be seen
I won’t let the girl with wings love me

Let's Go Overboard
02:31

Honestly I think you’re drowning
Honestly I think you’re loosing steam
Honestly I think you should just lay down
Honestly I think you should forget about me
Yea, honestly I think you should forget about me
My signals are often ignored
Let’s go overboard
The future can wait a little more
Let’s go overboard
Purposefully I will block you out
Not out of hate, but to keep from freaking out
If I invest to much into you
I don’t think that you could pull through
Yea, I don't think that you could pull through
My signals are often ignored
Let’s go overboard
The future can wait a little more
Let’s go overboard
Let’s go over board
When I jump off the cliff
it will only hurt a bit
I’ll see you on the 7 seas
Okay now let me be

Holy holy river seep back into my skin
Flowing out to drink the salty ocean
To breathe clearly
I need hearing
I don’t have to hear to know
My next step goes into the unknown
18 is when I jump
Off the edge and into so much
Flowing energy
That dude online says that’s responsibility
