unlike the rest of my generation
i’m not screaming, “someone take me!”
i’ll put love on the back-burner
instead of waiting for a forced awakening
and if you ever feel lonely
just take a look at your profiles, sweetheart
pick someone else to love, to trust - it’s not what you want
it’s just another one to forget when you grow apart
every day, i see the same thing happening
any method, you just keep on snapping
you’re living life through your rose-tinted lens
don’t you wanna be more than facebook friends?
the old days had the right idea
you had to earn someone’s affection
now just swipe right, be judged on what you look like
and act like you can take rejection
and if you ever feel lonely
just take a look at your profiles, darling
pick someone to lust over, blush over - i told you
it’s not enough to meet your prince charming
every day, i see the same thing happening
any method, you’ll just keep on snapping
you’re living life through your rose-tinted lens
don’t you wanna be more than facebook friends?
he feels claw marks in his back, and he learns after the fact
this was no passionate act - just a way to mark him and ward away the others
sore heart back on track but she keeps pulling him back
to take a profile picture stat - but he left his smile between the covers
he’s on his back and he learns after the fact
this was no passionate act - just a way to mark him and ward away the others
sore heart back on track but she keeps pulling him back
to take a profile picture stat - but he left his smile between the covers
every day, i see the same thing happening
any method, you just keep on snapping
you’re living life through your rose-tinted lens
don’t you wanna be more than, wanna be more than
every day i see the same thing happening
any method you just keep on snapping
you’re living life through your rose-tinted lens
don’t you wanna be more than facebook friends?

Cocaine Kiss
03:53
|
|||
i think it’s natural for a cynic to get stressed
when the negatives in someone fade away to nothingness
dangerous territory to be feeling like this
i must partake cause I’m addicted to your cocaine kiss
fumbling with the top of your skinny jeans
my neck feels warmer where your lips found me
stumbling clumsily towards the bed
can’t think of any place I’d rather end up instead
and i’m dazing
seems i’ve been gazing
ain’t no harm with us just staying in
cause once i’ve had your cocaine kiss, i might as well be blazing
oh, you invaded every inch of my brain
and i surrendered after fighting in vain
angel eyes with a devil’s look
the chance arose and now you got me caught on your hook
and i’m sinking
my ears are ringing
my symptoms tell me i’ve been drinking
but i ain’t touched no booze or punch, your kiss just got me limping
come up beside me
you do so much more than excite me
it ain’t that hard to just ignite me
cause girl you make me flammable, just pour your fuel and light me, baby, light me!

Skylines
03:14
|

oh, my heart trembles at the phantoms
of future collisions and all these decisions;
no, i am not seated in visions of entropy.
and when the feelings are sidelined
i'll be beside mine to measure a lifetime;
no, i am not rooted in skylines or legacies.
the past strikes the future and colours aren’t there anymore
there are dents on the mainframe and a pressure leak in the core

Flux
03:24

the bait is there, but i ain’t biting
if you’re the thunder, i’m the lightning
i should be bitter, but i love the abuse
don’t mind me sighing
a masochist kissing this hedonist’s wrists
i just relinquish it
cause where’s the fun in control
if it all turns to shit?
it’s pretty bright for midnight, wouldn’t you say?
oh, babe, i’m megalomaniacal
my demons told me to deny it all
i’m a flawed little person
but i’m pliable
i can bend into whatever shape you want
it’ll take some getting used to, but so what?
i’m in a state of flux
just waiting for a coup detente
it’s pretty bright for midnight, wouldn’t you say?
i’m just so stuck on you
i’m treading water, and i’m so fucking close to drowning

Make Ace (bonus track)
03:54

your damage is just so intoxicating
there's almost no point retaliating
you say I'm suffocating and frustrating
but you stay with me cause loving's so close to hating
I would go looking for remedies,
losing my head just to make my way home
these unknowns are slowly taking their toll on me
digging down into my bones
make!
ace!
make!
haste!
this test is just a lesson in stepping softly
only secure when your bullets are bouncing off me
the ricochets are the only proof that you love me
I catch your gaze and the issues become obsolete
I would go to the extremities
fighting our enemies, taking control
these unknowns are slowly taking their toll on me
digging down into my bones
make!
ace!
make!
haste!
