Here is the key to my head
It’s the first time that I’m trusting you
I’ll finally crawl out of my bed
You can open me up at two
For the sake of trying to feel new
I think it’s about that time
I put an end to letting demons dwell
I’ll stop thinking all of these fiends hide
As if no one else could tell
I’ve been putting myself through hell
I’m hoping that I end up somewhere… X 4
Here is the key to my head
It’s the first time that I’m trusting you
I’ll finally crawl out of my bed
You can open me up at two
For the sake of trying to feel new
I’m sick of breaking through glass and doors
Sick of letting nerves and fears take over
Will unlocking me help? I’m unsure.
Two o’clock will tell when I get there
I’m hoping that I end up somewhere
I never thought I’d end up in here
I never thought I’d end up in here… X 5

Look Alive

Look alive, look alive
Put a smile on, stay headstrong
It’s not easy living as a lyric in a sea of art
Don’t worry, I’ll fake it
I’ll fake it till I make it
I’ll dry my tears and take a walk right down the boulevard
You see the stars up in the sky, they all scream my name
Each one an individual of a different acclaim
You feel the pressure of a person’s social media gaze
Guess that’s the price you pay when living with positive fame
Not even Cas’ angels, could ever change my fate
Set to live on the screen, burned in your memory
I’ll go and paint my face, so I can wipe the grin
Clean off your face, replace it, so it screams the word happy
I’m hypocritical, but never cynical
I am the reinforcement that the world around me needs
Look alive, look alive
Put a smile on, stay headstrong
It’s not easy living as a lyric in a sea of art
Don’t worry, I’ll fake it
I’ll fake it till I make it
I’ll dry my tears and take a walk right down the boulevard
You see the stars up in the sky, they all scream my name
Each one an individual of a different acclaim
You feel the pressure of a person’s social media gaze
Guess that’s the price you pay when living with positive fame
I’m hypocritical, but never cynical
I am the reinforcement that the world around me needs
(HEY!) Go back to where you stand
Everything else is not the plan
The population around me has set in stone
Can I please leave?
Look alive, look alive
Put a smile on, stay headstrong
It’s not easy living as a lyric in a sea of art
Don’t worry, I’ll fake it
I’ll fake it till I make it
I’ll dry my tears and take a walk right down the boulevard
You see the stars up in the sky, they all scream my name
Each one an individual of a different acclaim
You feel the pressure of a person’s social media gaze
Guess that’s the price you pay when living with positive fame
Alright, okay…
Living with positive fame
Guess that’s the price you pay when living with positive fame
I guess I’m not okay
But that’s the price you pay when living with positive fame

This love is Bi-Polar
The fear has washed over me
This Honeymoon is dying quickly
Or are those my defenses tightening?
My eyes still scream, ”Will someone adore me?”
I need to gain control and not self-suffocate.
This love is bi-polar
The fear has washed over me
Oh, I can’t help but pin what I feel to my sleeve
This love is bi-polar
But still I crave another
Chance at sweet romance
To live as one, no dread in my hands
Am I an actor? Is this for poetry?
Are my bad habits addictive misery?
The cuts on my heart can’t help but open and bleed
But I still smile at the thought of wedding rings
I want to hear the crowd cheering
I’m sick of wondering, disbelieving
The opposing emotions shouldn’t be flaring
Will the spark burn out if I keep on searching?
This love is bi-polar
The fear has washed over me
Oh, I can’t help but pin what I feel to my sleeve
This love is bi-polar
But still I crave another
Chance at sweet romance
To live as one, no dread in my hands
Are these the actions of my inspiration?
Another hormone influenced decision?
Peel back the layers of this brittle skin
You’ll see my heart is somehow stitched wide open

Synchronicity

You pulled a fire out of me
A burning hot blue travesty
You created the strongest sense of lust and grief
Who lit the match that set the rose you call yourself ablaze
I blame myself cause even then I could have dropped my gaze
But you had me. Looming uncertainty became toxicity
Cause all-in-all I crave your love and synchronicity
Cause every time I feel your touch your aura burns through me
But I can’t have it. I’ll just imagine
A life so natural, mad with love, it’s destructive routine
Oh, synchronicity
Oh, synchronicity
You held out your hand, I saw the light in me fade
I watched us bloom and felt me wither away
I know who held you back.
You gave me a heart attack.
I should have pulled away when I knew we couldn’t last.
Who lit the match that set the rose you call yourself ablaze
I blame myself cause even then I could have dropped my gaze
But you had me. Looming uncertainty became toxicity
Cause all-in-all I crave your love and synchronicity
Cause every time I feel your touch your aura burns through me
But I can’t have it. I’ll just imagine
A life so natural, mad with love, it’s destructive routine
Oh, synchronicity
Oh, synchronicity
I’d sink into the sun for you.
Like a moth into a flame, it’s true.
‘Cause my defenses are down when you’re around, but that’s nothing new.
I’d sink into the sun for you.
Like a moth into a flame, it’s true.
‘Cause my defenses are down when you’re around, but that’s nothing new.
Cause all-in-all I crave your love and synchronicity
Cause every time I feel your touch your aura burns through me
But I can’t have it. I’ll just imagine
A life so natural, mad with love, it’s destructive routine
Oh, synchronicity
Oh, synchronicity
Oh, synchronicity
Oh, synchronicity

Hey, buddy, how’ve you been?
I hope the afterlife is treating you well up there
I know it’s been a little while since we last spoke
But I still hear your voice as clear as the southern air
It brought a tear to my eye, like it always does
Why did this wild life have to rip you away?
Regardless when and how there’s nothing that I can change
There’s still just so much more I wish that I got to say
I hear you sing for me
I see your butterfly flutter and float away
The closest thing I have
To seeing you is this cardinal that’s here to stay
I’m thinking maybe you’ve made a new friend or two
Another angel, someone as sweet as you
You’re showing signs, and giving me living proof
There was no goodbye, just, “See you again real soon.”
I miss the way you light up the room
Cause I am so blind here without you
I still hear your tone in tunes you never knew
Your heart lives on in songs and tattoos
The past two years flew by like bright balloons
That wrote your name in stars although we’re worlds apart
Cause you are living proof heaven is in view
I know you’re standing right next to me
I know you’re listening to every word I say
Which means I’ve got a couple of things to ask
Are you proud of me and when will I see you again?
I miss the way you light up the room
Cause I am so blind here without you
I still hear your tone in tunes you never knew
Your heart lives on in songs and tattoos
The past two years flew by like bright balloons
That wrote your name in stars although we’re worlds apart
Cause you are living proof heaven is in view
