Get In line 03:12
Get in line now, I will find you In the place that you seek most I will be giving the toast Fear what you love Rough times have come When your heart is never done I’m not your friend I’m here until the end You are the one that got away I am what you won't say Bright lights blind me Hide what you need Things might get a little sheer My time is coming near Come close I won't tell Night time is hell When the thing that you fear most Is just exactly what you hoped

Losing It 04:26
I just want to feel like I’m on fire We can sit and watch the world get higher Let’s laugh and talk about our futures Forget the past, make the ending come sooner We are running low and falling in defeat Running from the ghosts nobody seems to see It is just self loathing, the most boring story of all But it's the only one we've seen, trying to risk it all Turn the lights on blue Lets ride around the avenue Turn the lights on red Always wishing that we weren't dead We’re losing it Never gonna admit We’re losing it Trying to exist I want to lay back with my sunglasses on We can listen to all of your favorite songs Lost in ways that they could never imagine Always too afraid to pay for our passion Miscommunication doesn't change what I say Sometimes I just want to drive it all away If we leave now we could get there today Forget the past, make it a new day Turn the lights on blue Lets ride around the avenue Turn the lights on red Always wishing that we weren't dead We’re losing it Never gonna admit We’re losing it Never allowed to quit We’re losing it What do you dream about? Breathe in breathe out Breathe in breathe out I promise one day I'll get us out of here Turn the lights on blue Lets ride around the avenue Turn the lights on red We know that we can’t forget We’re losing it Never gonna admit We’re losing it We’re losing it

Daydream 02:48
Part of me wishes I was you
 Part of me wishes I was cool Part of me wishes I could see Part of me wishes you would be Part of hopes that you’ll be There for me when you leave Fake emotions on the run Never right devotion (x2) after the bars close And the heats coming down only thing left the taste of your mouth Daydreamin, more than feeling you've got me stuck in a daydream part of me wishes I die part of me hopes that you’re right never found what I’m looking for never done it right before Part of me wishes you were me Part of me wishes you could see Part of hopes that you’re fine Part of me hopes that you die You know I want to believe Maybe then we could be Something I could hold tight Part of me knows That I’m not right After the bars close The heats coming down Only you’re left No room to shout Daydreamin it's just a feeling You’re stuck in a daydream

I'm Pretty 03:38
Call me out don't be afraid to ask In the middle, I can’t pick a mask so Help me but don't make a scene If I'm not everything you've dreamed I know I get caught in a vibe But trust me, it can change your life Darkness falls beneath the sheets And the glory days are in too deep So please tell me everything I need To fix all of these insecurities I'm pretty sure I’m too far gone To try and even play along I’m nothing but a pretty face Bound to end up being replaced I’m Blonde, dumb and uncertain Of everything, except one thing I’m pretty sure that I'm a mess, Big green eyes that you can't impress Got a penchant for being overdramatic can't validate my own bad habit Pretty liar and the best illusion Pretty hurts I don't have to prove it Push me hard but not hard enough Your words don’t make you that tough Self-affirmation say it back to me It can be true if I want it to be White diamonds collecting all the dust Make it good, quick rush or it’s a bust I know I get caught up in a way But please don't make all my mistakes Red, greens, blues calling for an attack Send me home for the climax I'm pretty, pretty sure we’re doomed So let’s all revel in the gloom Let’s pretend we get along Even though we’re just not that strong I’m tired of these hopeless nights Stuck staring into my eyes I’m certain of almost nothing Nothing except one thing I’m pretty sure that I'm a mess, Big green eyes that you can't impress Got a penchant for being overdramatic can't validate my own bad habit Pretty liar and the best illusion Pretty hurts I don't have to prove it Push me hard but not hard enough Your words don’t make you that tough No apologies are necessary if I wanted then I could leave No truth needs to be spoken I don’t care if I’m broken Seasons pass, they’re all in the past Can I stop, this resistance The truth lies all of the time, So let me say it right this time I'm pretty, pretty sure we’re fucked So let's stop and all give up I’m pretty sure that it’s a mess with Too much at stake to ever regret I’m pretty sure that you can’t guess, I’m a stone-cold fox you can't impress Got a habit wearing my heart on my sleeve And saying things you wouldn’t believe Pretty face and the worst impulses Pretty hurts but honestly, the truth is Nothing will ever be enough Not until it’s all I’ve dreamed of I’m pretty, pretty and tough Cause I have made me enough I’m pretty, pretty and sure That I may be my own cure

Disaster 03:13
If you listen to what I say You might make your biggest mistake They always want you until you're not enough They’re always saying that they’ll call your bluff Wasting away every night and day Anything just to numb the pain If you look close you might recognize A long lost love just waiting to shine Dark dreams turn to happy ever after If you want then we can shatter All our hope, all our fear Get caught up in our own disaster They never said that this would be Something unlike what I’ve seen They never tell you the whole truth But god there’s something about you Something way too good to be true Something that makes me crazy for you Wasting away every night and day Anything just to make you stay If you look close you might recognize A long lost love just waiting to shine Dark dreams turn to happy ever after If you want then we can shatter All our hope, all our fear Get caught up in our own disaster Its all fun and games until The loose cannon points back at you Daisies, roses, looming Nothing could be more unreal Dark dreams turn to happy ever after If you want then we can shatter All our hope, all our fear Get caught up in our own disaster Dark dreams turn to happy ever after If you want then we can shatter All our hope, all our fear Get caught up in our own dark dream

Retaliate 03:16
I tried to follow the enemy Got caught in all the wind and trees Save yourself there's no time for me Just promise you’ll be free and see I never want to be like them Being trapped forever in the game I’d rather die than give in Maybe if I meant what I spoke I wouldn’t always go up in smoke I’ll play along, I guess I misspoke After all, I’m just another joke Too little too late to retaliate Too far to just say that it’s all going great Trusted the wrong guy and look how that turned out DOA I caused my own doubt Never trusting myself again Believe me when I say it’s the end Caught all your eyes lingering Don't you worry I’m surrendering Too little too late to retaliate Too far to just say that it’s all going great Even though I care so much I think it’s time to hang you up You are a part of me, just like the old me I’ve burned all my bridges beyond repair So there’s no use in focusing there Even though it's a life of lies It finally feels like it's mine Too little too late to abbreviate Everything that used to be As if it’s some kind of fantasy Too little too late to act like I'm over this So much of you is forced to leave but I think I’m finally free
7.
I’m in love with an idea A little too far gone to be told to stay clear I know it might sound like insanity But I need a dose of reality Your ship has sunk and now you’re afraid to loose You get so high just to help take away the blues You get enthralled by romance, like you ever stood a chance Your idea of fantasy is not reality You want to be American made But you’re so different than the ones portrayed You want to be a shining star Without having to change who you are I’m a part of something inescapable Everything and nothing is attainable I know I’ve got no room to complain I can’t do anything to hide the bloodstain Tears fall and there’s nothing left to say For once in your life, you’re in pain You want to be American made But you’re so different than the ones portrayed You want to be a shining star Without having to change who you are Your face has grown so foreign to me Once upon a time, you were reality Now you’ve gone and ruined what I believe There’s absolutely nothing better than an absentee I’m going insane but that’s okay I needed a little change anyway The time always flies but I'm the same Doing nothing except cheating the game I've realized I’m nothing but an afterthought Normally offended but today I’m not You want to be American made But you’re so different than the ones portrayed You want to be a shining star Without having to change who you are You want to be the one to put up a fight Just to prove you know what is right You want to be free to dream No matter what, where, who you believe

Melancholia 03:36
All of the years and all of the pain Can’t take away all my shame For losing something close to me Even if it meant a better me Melancholia put me to rest But maybe its for the best You are everything I’ve dreamed And you are more than I could believe You make me want to be so much more than the same old me You are the part of me that I wish I could be Melancholia hurts so much but sometimes its all that’s enough Pillow forts and empty bottles We’re living life like theres no tomorrow These empty streets, and false idols Always wishing I wasn’t so idle But I can’t relive this day Cause its not worth all of the pain So ill try and just move on But its so hard when you’re not wrong I think I can trust you More than I care to admit You make me okay for once in my darkest days You are the piece of me that I wish I could be Melancholia hurts so much but right now its all I’m thinking of Maybe its not as hard they say Or maybe its a dream that I’ll never achieve But I think way too much
is it never too late to make up Cause whats there to loose when all i’ve got is nothing to prove And if I’m not enough, then at least I can say I did what I love I am what I want For once I feel I am enough The memories don’t hurt me like they did once upon a dream Melancholia hurts so much but it saved me when I was too much Melancholia’s in my blood but it finally feels like its gone

about

Melancholia is about losing yourself, attempting to find love in a dark place, obsessing over and realizing all your flaws, but then realizing those flaws are a part of you, and learning to accept yourself for everything you are. There are tracks on here about fear, depression, self-criticism, feeling lost, the state of our country, and finding love within yourself.
