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
5.
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!
