Sticks and stones have lost their charms
I'll fall in love just to break my arms
Say a few words and you'll start a fire
Forget the alarm
Lately I don't have an appetite
Just got energy enough to let me dream at night
But they disappoint
So what's the point
When we can barely close our eyes anymore
Damn it's been a minute hasn't it
I'll still text you everyday like its a habit
'Cause I miss you though
You don't even know
The half of it, I kept silent oh no
Words that can't speak
Trying to release
These feelings I seek
Running in circles
I know I'm too deep
Falling in silence
This prison I keep
Can't run away 'cause the wall's staring at me
Can't run away 'cause the wall's staring at me
Can't run away 'cause the wall's staring at me
Fractured bones but I stay calm
I'll fall apart just to carry on
Sing a few lines and I'll run back home
I really wish I could wake up to another sunrise
But I've had trouble lately
Replaying all the same thoughts every midnight
We're getting stuck again on
Words that can't speak
Trying to release
These feelings I seek
Running in circles
I know I'm too deep
Falling in silence
This prison I keep
Can't run away 'cause the wall's staring at me
Can't run away 'cause the wall's staring at me
Can't run away 'cause the wall's staring at me
Can't run away, run away
'Cause the wall's staring at me
Can't run away 'cause the wall's staring at me

Staring at the clouds like I always do
Staring at my phone, just waiting on you
Wasting my youth, but you sure are too
Got so much time, really no excuse
Let's take a second to slow down
Hit the brakes, take a good look at what's around
Come on over, watch the sunset
I wanna know how you're feeling now
Wanna stare at the ceiling
Or do you feel like leaving
I know you're getting bored
But you should try dreaming
Like on a late June evening
Do you forget you're breathing
'Cause I sometimes do
And I miss that feeling
I wanna feel weightless again
I don't wanna have to pretend
That I'm not sick of this
And not just hoping for the weekend
Wanna run away from the city?
Just for a little while
I think it's about time
We do something worthwhile
Find a risk worth taking
Find a rule worth breaking
I'll spend my days searching away
For something that's breathtaking
But there's nothing wrong with sitting here
Imagining we disappear
And get away from the usual
Find somewhere beautiful
Wanna stare at the ceiling
Or do you feel like leaving
I know you're getting bored
But you should try dreaming
Like on a late June evening
Do you forget you're breathing
'Cause I sometimes do
And I miss that feeling
Wanna stare at the ceiling
Or do you feel like leaving
I know you're getting bored
But you should try dreaming
Like on a late June evening
Do you forget you're breathing
'Cause I sometimes do
And I miss that feeling

reminisce (reimagined)

Do you remember
Anything from then
When clouds would pass on by
Time and time again
Still an hour passes
Just the same as it did
Back when we were kids
There's no remedy for this
Sometimes I sit and reminisce
About the things I knew I'd miss
Sometimes I don't want to exist
There's no remedy for this
Sometimes I sit and reminisce
About the things I knew I'd miss
Sometimes I don't want to exist

keyframe (acoustic)

Well so far nothing has changed at all
But that's what I said last year
A subtle difference in our words
Are they insincere
Keyframes, trapped in the day by day
We're rewinding every take
A single second at a time
I think I'll wait
In motion
Then why do I feel like I'm frozen
I'm leaving all my photos unopened
'Cause every memory is an ocean, I never realized
Unspoken
Last time I checked we don't notice
Maybe we just need some serotonin
'Cause every single minute is an ocean, it's an ocean
I never wanted this to be
A way to pretend
A means to an end
So what is it you really see
When you have time to spend
No signals to send
I see you when I fall asleep
A glimpse in the dust
Of how it all was
We're running after ghosts in dreams
But I can't figure out
Why I'm in motion
Then why do I feel like I'm frozen
I'm leaving all my photos unopened
'Cause every memory is an ocean, I never realized
Unspoken
Last time I checked we don't notice
Maybe we just need some serotonin
'Cause every single minute is an ocean, it's an ocean
All we have left
Are frames in our heads
And narrow regrets
Of things we forget
I get why I dream
Of 2019
I'll make it back
Don't worry about me
I never wanted this
But we never even noticed
We're in motion still
But here I'll stay
