Never learned how to take a joke
Bloomed and withered in the same stroke
Sitting inside with a blank stare half my life
When you're hanging at the end of your rope
Indecision chokes you so slow
You're a chrome cassette that only plays old regrets
Don't Go
(As long as you don't waste my time)
You look just like the girl I saw last night in a dream
Don't go
(As long as you don't change your mind)
You make me feel just like I'm stuck inside a machine
Never thought you could lose control
See you peaking through the blindfold
When the paradise is coming on so slowly
Couldn't think of a place to hide
Now you're staring at me side-eyed
Paralyzed and never good at goodbyes
Don't Go
(As long as you don't waste my time)
You look just like the girl I saw last night in a dream
Don't go
(As long as you don't change your mind)
You make me feel just like I'm stuck inside a machine
So tell me, what's there left to want?
When all the flowers here have melted in the sun?
And tell me, who's there left to trust?
When even lovers have deceived me just for fun?
Don't Go
(As long as you don't waste my time)
You look just like the girl I saw last night in a dream
Don't go
(As long as you don't change your mind)
You make me feel just like I'm stuck inside a machine
I wanna stay a little longer
I wanna tell you about the time I had in the spring
I wanna stay a little longer
I don't believe the things these hands have done to stay clean
I wanna stay a little longer
I wanna stay a little longer
I wanna stay a little longer
I wanna stay a little longer

They were handing out dust
That spins you round and round
TIl your lungs start coughing up rust
I don't know where they go
But I heard that it's worth the choke
And it hurts but it's fun
You could spin so fast
You don't miss the sun
Anymore
You could spin till you don't miss anyone
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Never minded the rain
But who on Earth could save you
When the music's starting to fade?
We've been here for hours
I can't make it go away
'Cause it bites and it thrills
It excites so much that it often kills
Anyways
Wasn't gonna fight
Oh Lenina, I didn't mean to scare you
Reminiscing over all the holidays we shared
You and I could've made it out
I watched as you faded
Sometimes it hurts so much
I wish I stayed sedated in paradise with you
She would cover her wrists
All the corridors in this house are dimly lit
And we love it, finally free at last
And it hurts but it's fun
You could spin so fast
You don't miss the sun
Anymore
You could spin till you don't miss anyone
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Oh Lenina, I didn't mean to scare you
Reminiscing over all the holidays we shared
You and I could've made it out
I thought you could save me
How nice is paradise lately?
You tricked me to prefer the imitation
I watched as you faded
Sometimes it hurts so much
I wish I stayed sedated in paradise with you
Take my hand 'cause I'm reeling
And the ceiling's closing in again
There's a siren softly singing in my ear again
Tells me what I wanna hear always
You and I could've made it out
I thought you could save me
How nice is paradise lately?
You tricked me to prefer the imitation
I watched as you faded
Sometimes it hurts so much
I wish I stayed sedated in paradise
I wish I stayed in paradise
I wish I stayed in paradise with you

Fingernail Moon (Demo)

Tiny fingers running through my hair
In my mind I pretend I'm still there with you
Basking in the sunlight
I would speak til my tongue was numb and you
Shut me up with a kiss that stuck like glue
We were dancing in the floodlights
It just gets kinda hard to speak 'cause
Oh the moon looks just like you tonight
In a funny way, I just cannot describe
And there's this magic trick you do with your eyes
That never left my mind
No matter how hard I've tried
Oh the fingernail moon
Will be leaving us soon
Close your eyes and still, you cannot sleep
Keeps you up like the promise you can't keep no more
And you're burning through your prime
And all the silly games we used to play have changed
They're really not the same
When I'm playing them alone
It just gets kinda hard to speak 'cause
Oh the moon looks just like you tonight
In a funny way, I just cannot describe
And there's this magic trick you do with your eyes
That never left my mind
No matter how hard I've tried
Oh the fingernail moon
Will be leaving us soon
I know you were seeing shadows for so long
I was waiting on a silk song
I was hoping we could get along
No, you can't outrun
'Cause the beast just follows for so long
I was diffusing the time bomb
I was hoping we could get along
