Fade

You mouth promises
never to be kept,
never to be permanent.
Warmth whispered to me
only left me cold,
only froze the fragile glass.
But you cry
Nothing but lies
They fade
They fade
You leave scars behind
I am forced to stare,
never to be overlooked.
What we both made bloom
is to soon decay,
is to rot and leave no trace
But you cry
Nothing but lies
They fade
They fade

Parfait

I’m not the one to be fragile
That’s what I say
I’m told that secrets unravel
That sounds cliche
Cover it up, I’ll take a chance
that’s not too fake
Only I will understand
Won’t take long to make
Everybody needs something sweet
Tease me with sugar, honey
Everybody needs something nice
Tease and repeat, tease and repeat
Hide what they don’t like
with perfections they’ll find divine
Then I’ll just repeat
Parfait, parfait
Give what they will like,
the perfections they’ll find divine
Then I’ll just repeat
Parfait, parfait
I’m not the kind to undermine
I keep away
I’m not myself when I betray
But I don’t say
I cover up and take a chance
that’s not too fake
Only I will understand
Won’t take long to make
Everybody needs something sweet
Tease me with sugar, honey
Everybody needs something nice
Tease and repeat, tease and repeat
Hide what they don’t like
with perfections they’ll find divine
Then I’ll just repeat
Parfait, parfait
Give what they will like,
the perfections they’ll find divine
Then I’ll just repeat
Parfait, parfait
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet
x 2
Hide what they don’t like
with perfections they’ll find divine
Then I’ll just repeat
Parfait, parfait
Give what they will like,
the perfections they’ll find divine
Then I’ll just repeat
Parfait, parfait
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet
You’ll melt by me
I’ll make something sweet

59th Street

Lying to fake
the comfort of home
Hoping to shake
shivers unknown
Lift it away
Promise me I’ll be fine
Like the white bird on 59th street
Sadly awaken
in the midst of non-stopping light traces
And I’m sadly forsaken
in the midst of a clutter of stations
So help me now
Return back to me
Let me hold you and kiss you and love
Bluestone remains
Not everything stays
Shouldn’t complain
but I feel restrained
Please do explain
Promise me I’ll be fine
Like the white bird on 59th street
Sadly awaken
in the midst of non-stopping light traces
And I’m sadly forsaken
in the midst of a clutter of stations
So help me now
Return back to me
Let me hold you and kiss you and love
Fly, cry, abandoned
Fly, cry, stranded
x 4
Sadly awaken
in the midst of non-stopping light traces
And I’m sadly forsaken
in the midst of a clutter of stations
So help me now
Return back to me
Let me hold you and kiss you and love
Lift it away
Promise me I’ll be fine
Like the white bird on 59th street

The One
02:35

They fight front of you for hours
They ask for your sole sympathy
The town begs for an answer
for what you’ll always stand up for
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?
Will it light up the center
of your established uncertainty?
The town begs for an answer
for what you’ll always stand up for
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?
Your eyes move around
with no help to be found
Your eyes move around
with no help to be found
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?
Oh, is that the one, the one, the one?

Boulevard

We light up the dark
with what’s soon to be gone
Our hands don’t wish to part
They fear what’s to soon come
You and I worked hard
Sadly we can’t go far
Remember who we are
As we part at the boulevard
We could have been an art
that strikes hearts with beauty
We’re told to burn it down,
forced to end now
You and I worked hard
Sadly we can’t go far
Remember who we are
As we part at the boulevard
You and I worked hard
Sadly we can’t go far
Remember who we are
As we part at the boulevard
