Altitude 05:18
It's a shame how we play these old games Nothing's new, I'm the same I won't change, I'm in chains for you I could make something big of myself If I grew to the tops of these mountains I'd climb for you I got altitude I am falling for you Think I fucked it all up When I left I had guts Now I'm sleeping alone in a one bedroom hell I don't know what I'm doing They said I'd get through it But running in place sure ain't my kind of fun They said angels would guide me Please hide me I don't want no gods who have died to come find me I'm low, I'm not living This grave that I'm digging is mine, But I'm fighting like hell so I don't prove you right It kills me It kills me to know that you're happy without me Happy as if I had never been something you owned I got altitude I am falling for you I was blessed before we met It was all ignorance Picket fences, a house to come home to To hell with you raising me up so I'm seeing The things that I'm missing The things that I'm not supposed to know It kills me It kills me to know that you're happy without me Happy as if I had never been something you owned It kills me It kills me to know I'm not better without you Kills me that down is the only way I've left to go I got altitude I am falling for you I got altitude I am falling for you

Unfold 03:09
I can't stay I got bills to pay And dreams to take me miles and miles and miles away Can't delay Or my heart will break And then what's the point of even staying anyway? Oh, you want me? Oh, so you need me now? Unfold Unfold Cause you're wrapped too tight around me And it won't bring you gold Unfold And I've made peace With my own disease And it flourishes inside me like an evening breeze And if I leave It'll grow so free And rid my body of the war you've built inside of me Oh, you want me? Oh, so you love me now? Unfold Unfold Cause you're wrapped too tight around me And it won't bring you gold Unfold You're the only one who can hurt me With your bitter, angry soul Like a snake in the tall grasses It's not love if your blood runs cold Unfold Unfold Unfold

I've been pushing the same things away I've been thinking I had some debt to pay to you But I give and give and so you take Til I have nothing left for you I've been making this place so goddamn safe I open up my arms to hold you Let nothing harm you I feel the city writhe and shake It's jaws are wide to devour you But I stand between with all my strength Hoping my actions will empower you I been making this place so goddamn safe I open up my arms to hold you Let nothing harm you I know I am the thing you need And needing fills an urge in me I been making this place so goddamn safe I open up my arms to hold you Let nothing harm you And all I'd ask is for the same And all I'd ask is for the same

Moonlight 03:30
It's reflected in my eyes What I wouldn't do to get away from you I had hoped that things would change But it will take a million days How much more moonlight can I waste? How much more moonlight can I waste? I don't want to be admired For going down with every ounce of my pride I can't hold my wrongs And cherish them like children I should love I cannot sink cause I haven't given up I cannot sink cause I haven't given up I'm not asking for a crown I only want for you to go But if you think you'll make me hate So much that I no longer hope I'll make damn sure that I am throned I'll make damn sure that I am throned That's enough of me and you There's only so much time can do Can we go our separate ways? I've taken all that I can take How much more moonlight can I waste? How much more moonlight can I waste?

Warpaint 04:16
You come around You c-come around in gold Make me feel like my youth is getting old Could you break me down just a little more Still some space between me and the kitchen floor And if I take some space to be a little brave Do you have to yell until the windows break Can we make this easy just for once I don't wanna feel this just because You like to break me, baby And if I see that the fire's burned away Every little ounce of me I had to pay I will know you're smiling through the haze Ashes on your face like warpaint Cause you like to break me, baby
