I saw time wash out our paradise
Somehow you're always by my side
I feel blood drip down, I'm purified
Cause I live and die by the velvet knife
Close your eyes now
Hold your breath
I heard it helps you see
I heard it all goes flashing by
That's the price you'll pay
But it's alright, it's just a game
I can feel you bleeding out
Heaven sent a crimson halo
All around, and now you're free
Something else comes falling down
The tears I shed are heaven's postcard
Left behind by the velvet knife
I watch cracks drift through our atmosphere
You say it's only in my mind
The fractals spread
And now I'm not so sure
Cause I live and die with the endless night
Close your eyes now
Hold your breath
I heard it helps you see
I heard it all goes flashing by
That's the price you'll pay
But it's alright, it's just a game
I can feel you bleeding out
Heaven sent a crimson halo
All around, and now you're free
Something else comes falling down
The tears I shed are heaven's postcard
Left behind by the velvet knife
I can feel you bleeding out
Heaven sent a crimson halo
All around, and now you're free
Something else comes falling down
The tears I shed are heaven's postcard
Left behind by the velvet knife

What's the point in me asking now?
When you're drunk and you're leaving town
You say 9 times a million
Gonna make a killing
On your back
On your safe side
Feeling jazzed
Yeah, you're feeling groovy
Now I'm lit and I'm on the couch
Cigarette hanging from my mouth
I got junk food abounding
No friends around me
I'm on my ass
Yeah, on my safe side
I feel like trash
Yeah, just like garbage
Every single line that you cut me up
Sends me bleeding out the other side
Saying oh no, look at the state you're in
I guess that we'll try again
Just another fucking Sunday night
You text me back late on New Year's Eve
A winky face and some stupid meme
You say 9 times a million
But I got 6 bars I'm killing
I toss em back
Beyond the safe side
See how long they last
Yeah I'm feeling alright
Every single line that you cut me up
Sends me bleeding out the other side
Saying oh no, look at the state you're in
I guess that we'll try again
Just another fucking Sunday night
Every single line that you cut me up
Sends me bleeding out the other side
Saying oh no, look at the state you're in
I guess that we'll try again
Just another fucking Sunday night

Slow it Down

I know we're on our own
But I can't see everything I suppose
And I don't know the way back home
Some nights when I'm feeling blind
I'll gouge my eyes
Cause everything has its price
And mine comes cheap
Or so it seems
So slow it down
Just take it easy
Cause I don't think that you're thinking clearly
When you tell me how you want me close
And you never wanna let me go
It's just a stupid joke
So just go home and think about how you're all alone
Almost every night
Almost every night
Every night
What a joke
To call this home
Cause I've been around
There's nothing here left unknown
So I'll leave town
At least for now
So slow it down
Just take it easy
Cause I don't think that you're thinking clearly
When you tell me how you want me close
And you never wanna let me go
It's just a stupid joke
So just go home and think about how you're all alone
Almost every night
Almost every night
Every night

Pull up late and I kill the drive
Kill the lights, find my mask, and creep inside
Don't you cry now cause I'm all you've got
Cut some lines in the bathroom mirror
Dim the lights, change my mind like I'm not here
Don't you cry now cause I'm all like
Ooh shalala ooh shalala baby
Ooh shalala ooh shalala baby
Cause I've been changing all my damn life
Turning pages, closing my eyes
Visions fading, no looking back
No one told me, there's no one left to ask
If I'm on the inside
To ask if I'm on the outside
The outside, the outside of I
Pack the car when my time is up
Crying out, headed south, cause this isn't love
So you tell me but you're all I've got
Changing masks just to feel the breeze
I hear you laugh at the past now I'm on my knees
But you're all like
Ooh shalala ooh shalala baby
Ooh shalala ooh shalala baby
Cause I've been changing all my damn life
Turning pages, closing my eyes
Visions fading, no looking back
No one told me, there's no one left to ask
If I'm on the inside
To ask if I'm on the outside
The outside, the outside of I

Map Daddy (Here to Stay)

I got the numbers
I got the figures too
Don't make projections
No I just spread the news
I got information spilling out my ear to you
And I'm alright
Yeah I'm okay
I got my glasses on
I got my khakis on
Think I'll stay a little longer tonight
Map Daddy's here and he's here to stay
48 hours in, could use a 30-second break
Cause soon there'll be some numbers to update
I got locations
I got cartography
No motivations
Just call it as I see
I got information spilling out my mouth you need
And I'm alright
Yeah I'm okay
I got my diet coke
The star of every show
Think I'll stay a little longer tonight
Map Daddy's here and he's here to stay
48 hours in, could use a 30-second break
Cause soon there'll be some numbers to update
I'd never try to lead you astray
If the numbers come in wrong just know I’ll sort it out
If the big board’s acting up just know I won’t let you down
So I'll stick around here tonight
Map Daddy's here and he's here to stay
48 hours in, could use a 30-second break
Cause soon there'll be some numbers to update
