Title: Repeat

These are the tears before bedtime
the constant echo for improvement
and I wish I could do better for you
you deserve so much more
the hunger for fulfilment weeps through you
and I'm the only one left to hold you
the only one who truly cares
the unrequited body

I'm searching for the unknown
and I know it won't make me happy
oh, what I'd give to be satisfied

Chorus: Are you here?
I'd do it all again
and I'm so breathless when you call my name
it's hard to believe that my heart is yours
you've got what you came for, darling
so leave me, someone to love
give me the devotion I've fought for
the battles I've won and lost
the scars I carry linger in the pain I grow

although I left you there sleeping
you know I dare not break this silence
I cut through atmospheres with words of cold depths
and it's knowing what I want
what can I say when you're the one who keeps me breathing?

chorus

ending: I was never good with words
my tongue always twisted at the sight of you
and I hope you knew all along
are you here? I'd do it all over again
give me the devotion I've fought so hard for

Title: Unrequited

Once more it's happening
my need for you is unrequited
all my love for you is simmering by your constant ignorance
you are the salt to my wounds
and I know this all too well
when once again it's happening

I've been waiting for you
to belong, to belong to me
some of my friends say I'm silly to wait
but I know you still own my heart

Chorus: If you go away
I can no longer be free
no longer believe in love anymore
and if you ever were to leave
which darling I hope not
you might as well take the sun away
for darkness would seep into my every pore

it's all because you told me so
and it's all because you let me down
when you walk into the room I no longer
I no longer feel alone

and I will stay with you
the depths of my blood which carry you and I
the vessel of hope which soothes my worried mind

chorus

ending: just for you
I'd give up all I have
for this unrequited love
to be noticed

Title: Need/want

I need to know how it feels
I'm no longer afraid
all I fought for, falls away
and I take you deeper, deeper
into the depths of us

we're constantly in battles
body and mind linger as our intentions disappear
and we're constantly in battle
laid upon sheets of despair
and oh won't you ever feel what I feel?

Chorus: oh and will you ever reveal
just how much tolerance is required
to win you, I am a battle, won and lost
many times I've passed your body
but this love is slender
but not one I by any means regret

I swim through the thick of your veins
I feel the rhythm of your doubts, desired
and it's one of those situations in which I cannot sympathise
I lack devotion I lack the lust I lack the passion in your eyes

I substitute what I can't find
replace it with whatever warmth I can find
and I start again, start again, start again

chorus

ending: you speak for yourself
when you don't want anything more than what this is
and you speak for yourself
when you don't want this

Title: Layer

It's a matter of time before you're all here
it's a matter of time before I get there
and the moments between us
cause the need for something more
cause the need for the separation of sanity and expectations

what will it take to get inside your mind
and I'm layered in nights of neverending false hope
and none the less
this is the end which has come too soon

Chorus: every last piece of me
is stretching further reaching evermore
I coat my skin in lost love
and I find myself marinated inside you
and I'm layered in nights of never-ending mess
you're by far the sweetest regret that I taste on my tongue
yet every last piece of me is wanting you
needing you, hoping for the core

I wonder how much warmth comes across
is there enough to carry us?
through rocky seas I'm wishing upon
through buried bodies I want more for the both of us

I won't learn, I won't love
it's far too soon
but you're remorseful
and we unfold into another
tied into unspoken emotions

chorus

ending: I'm stray to you
but I can never imagine the days without you
and it suits best, for you to stay

Title: Surrended

Is this to you, my greatest skill?
the art of conversation but the lack of sitting still?
and oh I'd hold you in my arms for another day if I could
darling you know that already

and I look to you with such affection
I'm anxious as to how many ways I can find you over again
darling, hold me, hold me and never let me go
hands clasped, I love you so
and no one can take this away from me
I sew my sides up with good intentions
and for your lips to kiss mine
there is no better way for me to live by

Chorus: I have your undivided attention
I have been told and untold
I lack the understanding of your mind
but sweetheart, you know I understand your body
I'm all yours if you're all mine
I'd swim a thousand lies just to get to see your love again

I have to know who you are
what you are
you're my everything, everything to me
you lead a life of fulfillment
I lack the life of pure joy

chorus

ending: and to have you in my arms
and to hold you forever
in this moment it is ours
I'll be the sweet sweet surrender

Title: Give it all

Love carried by arms of weakness

and oh never let me go, I told you

all that we have is hiding under layers of sacrificial beauty

and I'm left, bare, bare and undesirable

could I ever provide you with such consistency?

I've made enough enemies

and I'll go round in circles, pacing back and forth

until every scripted moment is back here with you

Chorus: I'm exhausted of never being a priority

I won't remember how many times I've been left

and I must forget now, forget you darling

and how many times must I regret 

all I wanted was you, the only exception

but this is just a slender song of exempt

we're immune to another

yet we're sick of the sight of our bodies

and all that love requires is a feeling we can't sympathise with

and oh I've lost you again

you're swimming in the dark depths of the end

chorus

ending: I could do all that's done

and would it all be wonderful?

I hold onto the hands of both of us

I gaze into the light of the night sky

and this body I own is no body of mine

Title: Basking

I don't know what I want
I'm not aware whether it's you, is it you? is it you?

we could go far away
run further from our troubles that keep us at bay
I keep you close, I keep you closer now
I try to understand what you're after
through windows of doubt and devotion
to open arms I run

try me, give it all you have
ty me, give it all you have

Chorus: each time I'm there
I connect with your eyes
but you'll never give a shit about me
but I lust after everything you say
and every single day
I feel a lack of worth
and I can't tell how you feel
and I can't tell what you've given me
but I know it's temporary

I run to you
join me for another night
I'll show you why you're staying
I run to you
you have me, you'll have me

you undress my skin
put my bones at ease
and I know you're good for me
I can sense it in every single way

chorus

ending: all my thoughts trail away
an essence of beauty lingers with your scent
and your unintentional plan of chaos
has us basking in all we have
