Inland Empire

Wake up take a pill
It helps me think
Use a bird for my alarm
I don't get much sleep
Can't put my faith in anyone else
Just need a body to keep me lonely
So stand by, I'm on my knees
I might call if I'm ready for peace
Sometimes its easy (i want more) to loose my mind
(I'm outside knocking at your door)
I've reached the bottom of another pill bottle
Keep track of time through empty pill bottles
Were like star crossed lovers me and pill bottles
I see this as my way of surrender
I confess to the inland
I pray that you don't see my face
I think about Benadryl and whippets in Orlando
We had to miss the castles
For neon lights and broken dreams
I see this as my way of surrender
I confess to the inland
I pray that you don't see my face
Looking for meaning in the few dreams i have
It doesn't help that they don't make much sense
Doing one task over and over
Never know why and i wake without closer
I don't wanna be stuck as me forever
And I need you to see me through the masquerade
I know its hard I come in so many shades
Two strangers meet at the mirror each day
Don't worry it will be alright
Take your pill
They like you better
When you're living through your pills

[TAROT CARDS]
[Lilac]
I'm cobbled together
By strings and pictures of you
(we got off on the wrong foot)
I could sit here for forever
And never find the cure
I don't really see a way where I don't fall apart
Felt your palms and knew we were through
I know my own fate been reading tarot card
(I need you to help me like you do)
Take a chance and let me prove myself (i know)
You could find me in somebody else i know
[Orchid]
Cast away throw me through the plastic space
I'm infatuated by the way you look my way
There's nothing quite like it
Put fives in my eyelids
Strand me on the island
Death creeps on a vine yeah
I was drawn to waterfalls i drank the grassy dew
I could dance around the fairies like i wanted to
Talk to the faces
They don't know my name yet
It stings to be friendly
I'm creeping with envy
[Lilac]
Take a chance and let me prove myself (I know)
You could find me in somebody else I know
[I KNOW]
I know, I know, I know
But you had to go
I know, I know, I know
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
And you had to go
I know, I know, I know
Out in the park, we watched the sunset
Talking on a rusty swing set
After awhile you went quiet
And I got mean
Always pushing you away from me
But you come back with gravity
And when I call, you come home
A bird in your [HARSH NOISE]

You've been off the deep end for a long time
And you made my business so I gotta speak my mind
And you don't like that
You said it made you cry
When I bite back
Sorry I don't lie
When I watch you crash
Sorry that I try
To put you on track
But just because I'm sorry that I hurt you doesn't make you right
Did you only call me thinking id apologize?
I'm sorry that you think you're more important than my pride
Everything's the same
I, don't even wanna think
I, don't even
The thought of heaven
The thought of heaven
The thought of heaven isn't worth it
The thought of heaven isn't worth it
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN ISNT WORTH IT
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN ISNT WORTH IT
*I don't know Riley's exact lyrics hahaha sorry, I'll try to get her lyrics*
The thought of heaven
The thought of heaven
The thought of heaven isn't worth it
The thought of heaven isn't worth it
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN ISNT WORTH IT
THE THOUGHT OF HEAVEN ISNT WORTH IT

Rapture

Why put all the effort in
If in the end I don't know if I can even win
Don't know if I like where the pieces fell
But that doesn't change the cards I'm dealt
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds
Fire walk with me
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds
Fire walk with me
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds
Fire walk with me
18, so lost
Hating myself for every little thing
Nothing to show for all the time I've been wasting
Every second counts that thought is so sickening
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
I'll bet on that
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds
Fire walk with me
I sold my soul for some lyrics
I withered away for a song
If we're all just spirits
What makes dying feel so wrong
When the rapture comes everyone will be gone
Fire walk with me
Fire walk with me

[Lilac]
Droptop baby don't account for my mistakes
Be perfect for an evening, then at once feel everything
Pretty perfect people pose prettier pain
Wind me up baby then puppet my strings
Euphoria freaks me out, that just don't feel right
Normal my whole life but normal don't feel right
If I cant feel like this forever then what's the point?
I know its selfish, but its one forward and two back
So what's your point?
[Fitz]
Stupid and ignorant
Young and alive
I've got my ways
Don't need your advice
Taking my time, getting lost in her eyes
Don't know if I'll be back home tonight
[Lilac]
Learning to love you off trial and error
You're a difficult machine, and I don't really understand how you work
(you work, you work, you work)
If I cant feel like this forever then what's the point?
I know its selfish, but its one forward and two back
So what's your point?

War

Tools of mass destruction
They're all fools, I'll tear down this structure
Bend the rules for a bit
Taste the adrenaline
I don't wanna quit I cant stop
"may everything come true
may they believe
and may they laugh at their own passions"
I had a revelation
there's nothing for me here
I tried to build a savior
but it wanted me to kill it
I searched deeper
only guilt and envy
the doubt of my heart dissolves pride cures my weakness
I'll lose everything
Just to to want anything
My empire doesn't interest me
It doesn't interest me
I keep dreaming of her
Singing this one song inside a church
When I wake up, with tears in my eyes
I try to write it down
But I can't remember the word
I'll lose everything
Just to to want anything
My empire doesn't interest me
It doesn't interest me
Are you mad at me again?
Why cant we just talk it out??
Does it always have to be so hard???
This will take a century
I want war
I want more
I'm outside
I'm at your door
With tools of mass destruction

[McKinney]
Sleeping with the lights on
I can feel myself bleeding
I was here but now I'm not
A single heartbeat in a room full of machines
They turn on
I can
I can [?] myself away
[Lilac]
Hand full of lavender stuck in a stonewall
Pay attention and it wouldn’t be a curve ball
They don’t like it when I’m sentient
Don’t wanna hear about what Jesus did
Would rather die than work a desk job
Light a cigarette like a bastard
“You’re such a mess”
Thank you I did it myself
My one request
Is don't let this be a haunted house
I don’t need your help
I just need some time
To work through what I’m not
Could be wrong
It draws me in
Brushes against my soul
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
It stalks its pray
It taketh away
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Forgive my wry heart
Or tear me apart
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
([McKinney]
Take the crown and the head
I feel closer to my skin and it hurts
And it hurts me
[Lilac]
All along I sealed forgiveness
I didn’t know at the time
I don’t want your condolences
I’m happy with the way I am
It draws me in
Brushes against my soul
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
It stalks its pray
It taketh away
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Forgive my wry heart
Or tear me apart
Nail polish blood on the dashboard
Nail polish blood on the dashboard

Estrogen

I tend to take the backroads
Not exactly scenic but its pretty in its own way
And I think about the past and what id change
At the crux of it all I know this
But I choose not to believe it
One door closes one opens
And I try not to notice
To me he was like an older brother
What he did was way more than a mistake
Don't wanna call or text or talk about it
But if you must know I could've killed him that day
I don't wanna I don't wanna let go
Wont admit it wont admit it a lump in my throat
But at the crux of it all I know this
There is a leviathan, who gives out estrogen
Worry 'bout some Vicodin
Capsize me, burn the right way
I feel strange coming to terms with it
I'm afraid that ill make amends
When time comes for me to face the blood will I fold?
At the crux of it all I know this
But I choose not to believe it
I don't wanna I don't wanna let go
Won't admit it wont admit it a lump in my throat
But at the crux of it all I know this

[Super 8]
Such a intoxicating fever dream
You and me are starting to look like a Rorschach
I surrender to your coup d'état
I am running out of ways
To make excuses to not give you what you want
Silk tape in a super 8
Take the train, we should run away
Can't wait, we gotta go today
Caricature of my reflection
I'm starting to look like a Rorschach
[Daylight]
Wake up take a pill, it's a motif
Burn alive in my car, but I guess it could be worse
At least I never lied, I know I do this to myself
It's a different kind of drug that haunts my dreams
There's machines that run on blood
I corrode all the gold I touch
I can never figure out what it means
I've lost all confidence that this road even has the end
But its this or the bottom of the bay
I'm running through the daylight
I wanna know what it feels like to surrender
my skin burns in the daylight
I wanna know what it taste like to be free from fear
It's stalking me, the feeling there's always something more
Write it away to escape the dedication runs so deep
I tried to run, I tried to hide, I tried to move on
Write it away to escape the dedication pierces deep
I've lost all confidence that this road even has an end
I've lost all confidence that this road even has an end
I've lost all confidence that this road even has an end
But it's this or the bottom of the bay
I'm running through the daylight
I wanna know what it feels like to surrender
My skin burns in the daylight
I wanna know what it taste like to be free from fear
