"Filler"

Ever since
Ever since her
Everyone
Everyone was just filler
Ever since
Ever since her
Everything
That was sweet became bitter

But you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you

Ever since
Ever since you
Everyone
Everyone is see-through
I'm so perplexed by the mystery in front of me
That you were here, but you were never here beside me
I get a glimpse of you, a little bit blinding
But I'd rather not see than have that light not shining

And you, oh you
You're like the deepest breath
You, oh you
Like I haven't used my lungs yet
And I, oh I
I want to fill my heart with you
No, the filler just won't do

"Nothing To Hide"

There's no reason to fight
If there's nothing to hide
You can plot our your point
On two innocent sides
Two opposite souls
Two opposite poles
We don't have to give way to pride

If we've got nothing to hide

You're shying away
Like you've nothing to say
You look in my eyes
Like you're not gonna stay
If you've nothing to prove
Then there's nothing to lose
In a game that you'll never play

You're fading away
You're fading away

But if you live in the light
Then we've got nothing to hide

Two opposite souls
Two opposite poles
We don't have to give way to pride
Two opposite souls
With two opposite goals
Won't survive

"Day One"

Day one
Here's your rules and regulations
Day one
Take your number registration
Day one
All laid out in perfect tension
Day one
Everyone has a choice, but you've only got one

Do I have to fall
Exactly into your world to have it all
I didn't know love had so many walls
To keep me out
To keep me out

Day one
And you don't belong here
Day one
You can only be wrong here
Day one
Get used to surrender
Apologies, promises, never remembered

Do I have to fall
Exactly into your world to have it all
I didn't know love had so many walls
To keep me out
To keep me out

And time will always tell
But first impressions paint it well
Break off the bars to your prison cell
Into a different kind of hell

Do I have to fall apart every time
Lose it all to finally find
The home that I've been hoping for all this time
Do I have to fall

"I Don't Believe"

I don't believe in heartbreak
I don't believe in pain
I don't believe we have to be the same
I don't believe your motives
I don't believe you noticed, no
You were always focused on the blame

You want me
Close enough to hurt
And far enough away
Not to hurt you in any way

I don't believe in fairness
I don't believe in fame
I don't believe we're treated all the same
I don't believe in prisons
But still I find them in religion
I believe in how you push people away

You want me
Close enough to hurt
And far enough away
Not to hurt you in any way
You want me
Close, closer
So you say

I don't believe you understand
I don't believe that it was ever in your plan
I don't believe you understand love
I don't, I don't

"Detach"

Oh, my heart is in so deep
It's hard to see the surface
I'm a moment from defeat
But no moment is worthless

And I'm waiting, waiting
For the sunlight to pass through
I'm waiting for that gold
That golden opportunity

If it never comes
If my heart just comes undone
Detach, restart again from scratch
Or get a new one

Oh, the fear in me is deep
The questions start to quake
And I try to fall asleep
But I still fight to stay awake
Makes my body ache

For the sunlight to pass through
I'm waiting for that gold
That golden opportunity

If it never comes
If my heart just comes undone
Detach, restart again from scratch
Or get a new one

Put it all on the line
They say that love is blind
No risk, then no reward
But you're worth so much more

"Well Aware"

How can you live in peace
If there is no peace
Is every day a compromise
Just to stay alive
Well aware of the world we live
Well aware of the take and give
All that's left is where you build your ties

I've never met a face that didn't change my world
Each of us is singing in a silent tone
Marked forever by each human piece
Wherever our paths meet
Some will build you up
And some will make you feel alone

How can you carry on
With all you have to carry on
Your shoulders
I heard it makes you stronger
Well aware of the struggle here
Well aware it won't disappear
Just what can help me carry on a little longer

I've never met a face that didn't change my world
Each of us is singing in a silent tone
Marked forever by each human piece
Wherever our paths meet
Some will build you up
And some will make you feel all, all, all

All alone in this fight
Like if you don't do it their way
You're not doing it right
Oh! what a twisted view of life
And they can break you down
Till you don't make a sound
Make you feel you're not alive

I've never met a face that didn't change my world
You're so beautiful, every one of you is beautiful

I've never met a face that didn't change this world
Each of us is singing in a silent tone
Marked forever by each human piece
Wherever our paths meet
Some will build you up
And some will make you feel alone
Don't believe the ones who make you feel alone

"Privilege"

Some things only exist if you believe
Read too much between the lines and see
Connections, misdirections, disbelief

Some things stand before we breathe
Have to adapt to the scenery
If you ever want it to change
Some times ignorance is necessary

I'm not saying we were never at fault
I'm just saying that if we continue on it's all
In our defense, unneeded
History needs not repeating
I'm not saying we're not capable
I'm just saying that it's cyclical
Don't start the engine running
If you can see yourself becoming

Some things don't need to be said
Let them live on in men's heads
For fear of what might spread

Some topics I've come to dread
Conclusions drawn and grown and fed
If there's an elephant in the room
Let's shoot it dead

I'm not saying we were never at fault
I'm just saying that if we continue on it's all
In our defense, unneeded
History needs not repeating
I'm not saying we're not capable
I'm just saying that it's cyclical
Don't start the engine running
If you can see yourself becoming
