I wanna be human
I wanna be free
I wanna be kinder
I wanna be me
Don’t wanna have power
Don’t wanna compete
I wanna be present
I wanna be real
I don’t know what to do
Hostage in my room
Can I come with you?
Because I’m lost
Remember the summer
Remember our song
Remember their faces
Who have you become?
You don’t have a future
Barely a past
Try to move forward
‘Cause you can’t go back
You know what to do
There’s no time to lose
Out there in the blue
They’re thinking about you
So come out of your room
Because I love
Because I love
Because I love
You

Tear out the ending pages
I’m drifting off the pavement
The water opens up and pulls me in
As there is only one life I can live
But I could be mistaken
Won’t you help me be alone?
When our eyes meet down the road
Watch me watch you go
Won’t you help me, won’t you help?
I wander over rooftops
Skin crawling as my heart drops
Everywhere I turn a face presents
A silhouette of what I lack within
Flickering in the sunlight
Flickering in the sunlight
Flickering in the sunlight

Olympia

Wear a mask while you sleep
As the sheep take the fast lane
All I wanna do is
Take this body for a ride
But going to the store seems like
Such a hollow way to die
Olympia
Look me in the eye
And promise I will be all right
Insomnia
Caught me by surprise
As I quiver in my bed
Can you let it slide
Just one more time?
Olympia
Take anything you like
As long as I can stay inside
Do you like what you see?
What you give’s what you get
Alien applause would
Never be more out of place
If Jesus is a fraud, God
How much do you want to pay?
Olympia
Look me in the eye
And tell me you’re not terrified
Hysteria
Got into my head
Like the mammals on my screen
If you let it slide
Just one more time
Olympia
I’ll let you decide
‘Cause I can’t tell what left’s or right
Olympia
Look us in the eye
And try not to break down and cry
Dysphoria
Spreading like the fire
That should’ve killed us all
Will you let it slide
Time after time?
Olympia, well
I don’t really mind, but
Something’s got to give
Something’s got to give
Something’s got to give this time

Do I talk too much?
Throw it in the pot
Cue the drums
Cue the drums
Here to try my luck
Aching to be struck
By the sun
By the sun

Wake up, the word is on the street
This is exactly how it feels
To be alive again
To find a sun within
I feel it tremble in my chest
A pattern I’m part of again
The stillness of the sound
It pulls me through the crowd
And I don’t want to cry no more
And let the distant past darken my door
I took my medicine
But missing you is like a song that never ends
It’s funny what we don’t recall
Have you ever been here at all?
No matter what I try
You’re always on my mind
And as the sun ignites my skin
This is the day that I begin
To kiss the blue skies
See you in a new light
Treasure what passes by
And feel your smile reflect in my eyes
And I don’t want to hide no more
There are so many moons left to adore
Caress the mess I’m in
For loving you is like a song that never ends

All of you
All of me
Overflows
Wordlessly
Feel the glare
Hear the rage
Pay no mind
Skyward tides
Carry me
Mercury
Stars adrift
Burst in bliss
Bit by bit
Oxygen
Into eclipse
Mercury
You and me
All there is
Make me feel
Make me real
As you please
As you please
Mercury

I watched you move
You watched me too
I thought it through
Eyes like thieves
Swallow me
Endlessly
Endlessly
What do you feel?
Found you by the water
Lost you in the waves
Did you have another
Dreamer at your gates?
Tripped over the wire
We went up in flames
In between the sirens
I thought I heard you say
“This is real”
What do you feel?
