She gazed in the mirror
and said, "what do you think?"
and she smiled, at the face above the sink
The highway was open
but she was going no where
Driving in her new high heels
she thought she'd get to wear
she said
"I thought we would be fine
We just wanted a good time
and I wish I could cross the line
but I'm safe here, and who had time to cry?"
So I'll go wild within my walls
I can choose the music, I can have a ball
I'll crown myself the prom queen, I'll be my own applause
and I'll be smiling all along
It's called Pandemic Prom
The music gets louder
slow dances thrown away
Who cares?
He's dancing on his own anyway
It's raining on prom night
the world is full of fear
But we have to have a little fun
There's no time right now for tears
He says
"I got my suit and bow tie
In my living room I'm feeling fine
And I wish I could cross the line
But I'm safe here, and who has time to cry?"
So I'll go wild within my walls
I can choose the music, I can have a ball
I'll crown myself the prom king, I'll be my own applause
and I'll be smiling all along
It's called Pandemic Prom
Dancing with myself
Partying alone
In love with my own company
From the comfort of my own home
Don't care if I look dumb
Don't care if I should be sad
'Cause I'm having the time of my life
forgetting what's so bad
So I'll go crazy within these walls
I can choose the music, I'm gonna have a ball
I was crowned the prom queen, sashes and gowns and all
I've been smiling all along
It's my Pandemic Prom

I was so dumb
I played the fool
I should've seen you a mile away, honey
staring me down
Ships sink fast
but the water's so cool
I'll take a swim and try to keep my crown
I was so dumb
I played the fool
I should've seen you a mile away, honey
staring me down
Ships sink fast
but the water's so cool
I'll take a swim and try to keep my crown
Maybe you were a queen who ruled all
Maybe I was a servant on call
and we got tangled up in another place
Maybe I still had my eyes on you
Maybe you had love enough for two
but I have to put on a brave face
I know that I'm over-investing
my brain and my time
But if love really works as a remedy, I need to make you mine
I know that I'm over-investing
my brain and my time
But if love really works as a remedy, I need to make you mine
(I know that I'm over-investing
my brain and my time
But if love really works as a remedy, I need to make you mine
I know that I'm over-investing
my brain and my time
But if love really works as a remedy, I need to make you mine)
But I have to put on a brave face
You weren't even there when I made my getaway
I dove for doors and picked their locks
I shattered all your windowpanes
And it hurts when I yell and I realize
you weren't even there in the first place
Royalty never cared for me, I was just your saving face
I should've seen you a mile away, honey
staring me down
Ships sink fast
but the water's so cool
I'll take a swim and try to keep my crown
I know that I'm over-investing
my brain and my time
But if love really works as a remedy, I need to make you mine
(You weren't even there when I made my getaway
I dove for doors and picked their locks
I shattered all your windowpanes
And it hurts when I yell and I realize
you weren't even there in the first place)
Royalty never cared for me, I was just your saving face

You see all the roads you know in the dark
You learn them two times, 'cause it's different at night
You get closer over two months in the car
Find yourselves kissing at red lights
We learn to talk while driving
I learn to get annoyed
You're work for me, but it's worth it
We listen to rappers I didn't know
before I met you, boy
I know all the words now (now)
I wanna write every love song about you
But I don't know how
I can imagine what it's like to lose you
And I don't want to now
It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about
You give me words to sing on the road
and I pretend to know them
We keep the secrets nobody knows
Like how we'd go on adventures and sometimes get nervous
but it's only now and then
We learn to hang around
and I learn to stop clinging
It hurts for me, but I'm working on it
I work to make some money
but I just wanna keep singing
I make time for you while I'm working on it
I wanna write every love song about you
But I don't know how
I can imagine what it's like to lose you
And I don't want to now
It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about
(It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about
It's all I know how to write about)
I wanna write happy love songs about you
but I can't right now
All I imagine is what it's like to lose you
and it hurts forever
It's all I know how to worry about
It's all I know how to worry about
It's all I know how to worry about

Silver Moon

Silver moon, rise over the water
Over the horizon, glowing and wide
Silver moon, rise over our heads
leave corkscrew trails across the sky
Silver moon, a parachute
that spaceships use to land on Mars
and when you're gone, gone for good
there's no light left save that of the stars
Missing radiance, absent shine
The sky feels empty, lonely unkind
Without your reflection, the stars work overtime
their grail out of reach, your bar is too high
Silver moon, you'll come back soon
The shape of an eyelash, the crest of a wave
You're never gone, not gone for good
We wait in the dark
It's light that we crave

Old, Dead Wood

Was your first love the world?
Did you want to explore?
Is it scary now that everything's turned inside out and back around?
Was your first love the world?
Have you shattered your faith?
Have you lost yourself along the way?
Are you curious 'cause you didn't know yourself in the first place?
Do you recognize your face?
Are you scared of your dreams?
Have your aspirations died down?
Are you worried now, afraid of how the failure will be your hell?
Are you hoping all goes well?
'Cause all is bad
and all that's good
is in the past
it's old, dead wood
The tree is home
to other things
Like touching hands and learning how to sing
but now, now, now,
I only know how to shout
I just feel so hollow now
Now
I see shadows float and move
out the corners of my eyes
and I'm terrified 'til I realize it's only the lighting in the room
But I wanna know if you feel it too?
'Cause all is bad
and all that's good
is in the past
it's old, dead wood
The tree is home
to other things
Like touching hands and learning how to sing
but now, now, now,
I only know how to shout
I just feel so hollow now
Hollow now
and what feels like will be forever
Hollow now
and what feels like will be forever
Hollowed out
like old, dead wood
I've always been good
I've always been good
Was your first love the world?
Did you know of pain?
Was it scary when you heard of everything that turns the world on its head?
Are you scared of the world?

Faded Spring

She had blonde hair and big brown eyes
and when she laughed, the birds would sing
The vision in my head like a film reel, all forgotten
Faded spring
She had curled up lashes and spoke like silk
Her hands were soft to touch, they were cold to touch
She touched me often
And when she kissed me I could feel
the moment that she would fall
I built her coffin
She had blonde hair and big brown eyes
and when she laughed, the birds would sing
The tape's forever playing all our favorite song off-tune
Faded spring
No one here is here to change me
the way she vowed to stay
My ears were innocent and pure 'til I heard her say my name
and told me she would never change
I look out the window, it's not like last year
The colors are all faded, not like when she was here
Her little touch of reality that drew me out of mine
I knew what heaven looked like for the shortest time
She had thin hair and sunken eyes
and when she cried, I cried, too
The tape's forever playing
without her, I don't know what to do
I don't know
She had blonde hair and big brown eyes
and when she laughed, the birds would sing
The sun reminds me of her smile, but she
used it up for dirtier things
The vision in my head like a film reel, all forgotten
The tape, forever playing with our songs
but I don't want 'em
She blonde hair and big brown eyes
but mostly was my everything
Now she's faded spring
