(Welcome to the graveyard)
Pretty visions
You’re seeing pretty visions
Fill me up with a venture
(Of pretty visions)
Push me back into a place that we can’t find
Take the hit of some danger
(You’re seeing pretty visions)
Hold my hand just so might not lose our minds
Can you see yourself through your deaf delusions
You’re gonna wanna see the darker deep dustings,
Dumbing down the daylight as we wait until morning
Manifest your mentalism
You’re gonna get a rush and crush on the crash of itty bitty bits of sleep that sound when you’re dreaming
Let’s run away
My life’s a mess
In this disordered space
Let’s run away
LETS RUN
LETS RUN
LETS RUN
LETS RUN
✧
(Pretty visions
You’re seeing pretty visions)
Fill your eyes with the strangest
(Pretty visions)
Distant memory of a time we never cared
Smoke vicarious perspectives
(You’re seeing pretty visions)
Til you see yourself in twilight zones of hysteria
You’ll be fine if you hear a deadly silence
I got you running back to back to back blissful dealings with the devils as I’m breaking up ghost kids
Mystify your sense of real life
But watch out you’ll be lost to stumbling slumbers
Eating up the living to the rhythm we’re blinking
Let’s run away
Your life’s a mess
And now we can’t escape
But that’s okay
Yeah, that’s okay
LETS RUN
LETS RUN
LETS RUN
LETS RUN

Hey Houston, we have a problem
Mom and dad left me home alone
Stuck in nothing, feels like I’m floating
In a galaxy not far from home
I’ve been crippled, by a dream eater
and I’ve drowned in nostalgia
On a tightrope, think that I’ve lost hope
And I even disturb dystopia
Think I’m gonna pass out
Think i’m gonna fall down
Think I’m gonna blackout
Cuz these sounds are too loud
There are ghosts in my room (x4)
I’m feeling mad as a hatter
Doesn’t it always snow in summer?
Why do I trust insomnia?
It’s got me stuck in sleepless fever
✧
Hey you there, you looking for something?
Mr ghost, what’cha doing here?
Eerie feelings, uncanny valleys,
Have they drawn you to my messed up home?
once again, I’m counting seconds
The paranoia’s sinking in
Hypnotising, feels like I’m falling
Into nothing and yet everything
Think I’m gonna pass out
Think i’m gonna fall down
Think I’m gonna blackout
Cuz these sounds are too loud
There are ghosts in my room (x4)
I’m feeling mad as a hatter
Doesn’t it always snow in summer?
Why do I dream on a death bed?
it’s playing hide and seek with my head
✧
And it sounds like -
And you sound like -
And it sounds like -
And you sound like -
Think I’m gonna pass out
Think i’m gonna fall down
Think I’m gonna blackout
Cuz these sounds are too loud
There are ghosts in my room (x4)
I’m feeling mad as a hatter
Doesn’t it always snow in summer?
Why do I trust insomnia?
It’s got me stuck in sleepless fever

Is anyone around to feel the drift?
Of itty bits and dusty tension ticks
I warned you about this
The lighting leaks and seeps throughout our abyss
Keep the lights on,
Keep the lights on
Keep your mind sharp
Keep your mind sharp
Hush hush baby
You’re a deer in the headlights
Hush hush honey I’m a night walker,
Crawling through twilight
Hush hush baby
Im’ma strobe like a traffic light
I’m a sleepwalker
Did you remember your flashlight?
✧
The air is lush with intermeshed regrets
and So we wander through the silhouettes
i told you about this
our Skeletal psyche keeps us aimless
Turn the lights off
Turn the lights off
Close your eyes shut
Close your eyes shut
Hush hush baby
You’re a deer in the headlights
Hush hush honey I’m a night walker,
Crawling through twilight
Hush hush baby
Imma strobe like a traffic light
I’m a sleepwalker
Did you remember your flashlight?
I’m a spectre, hiding in the shadows
Adrift in the meek surrealism
I’m the smokiness behind the unknown
afloat in the deepest cynicism
Hush hush baby
You’re a deer in the headlights
Hush hush honey I’m a night walker,
Crawling through twilight
Hush hush baby
Imma strobe like a traffic light
I’m a sleepwalker
Did you remember your flashlight?

(Holler!)
Did you wanna leave your past behind
You know we can’t live forever
(Holler!)
Did you hear that trick that paints you blind?
‘Cause we could sleepwalk together.
I’ll fall into your bed tonight
And even then there won’t be any souls in sight
I’ll hold the moon within my hands
Oh baby, should we be shifting space time?
Hey hey sleepyhead
Are you snuffing out the light that’s been keeping me intact?
(Dive head first, no don’t be scared)
Hey, hey sleepyhead
I promise you’ll be fine if you keep yourself grounded
(I’ll see u on the other side.)
(Holler!)
My skin’s dripping with wanderlust
And my lover’s calling out to me, ah
I’ve been tripping on wanderlust
She goes “Ah-a-a Ah-a-a”
She goes, she goes
She goes “Ah-a-a”
She goes “Ah-a-a”
✧
(Holler!)
All alone along the boulevard
The playground seems eerily empty
(Holler!)
Yet we’re swaying on the old swing set
Do you really wanna sleep walk with me?
On nights like these the rain won’t cease
Like coffee, midnight’s keeping me ill at ease
I’m risking all that we have built
Oh baby, I just need time to reset
Hey hey sleepyhead
We’re laying in the dark as we start to lose focus
(Our eyes dance against the light)
Hey, hey sleepyhead
You promised I’d be fine but the shadows surround me
(I’ll see u on the other side)
(Holler!)
My skin’s dripping with wanderlust
But I’m feeling like I lost my love, ah
I’ve been tripping on wanderlust
She goes “Ah-a-a Ah-a-a”
She goes, she goes
She goes “Ah-a-a”
She goes “Ah-a-a”
All my fears are overflowing
And my body’s feeling heavy
I was told about the lonely ghosts
Now I’ll roam the town like all the others
My skin’s dripping with wanderlust
But I’m feeling like I lost myself, ah
I’ve been tripping on wanderlust
She goes “Ah-a-a Ah-a-a”
She goes, she goes
She goes “Ah-a-a”
She goes “Ah-a-a”

I caught myself making out with a delusion
I fell in love with the dizziest confusion
I found myself stuck in such isolation
I found myself in the funk of sensation
Oh we’re living the high life, tripping on white noise
I’m just vibin’ to… to the sound of your voice
Been listening to music that makes me manic
I’m stuck in my room and I start to panic
Oh we’re living under lockdown, sinking in the bass sounds
I’m just waiting until we finally drown
I’m losing my grip on the world around me
I’m lost in my room and-
I’m locked on your bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
✧
You make as much sense as champagne socialism
But I love all your quirky mannerisms
I’ll keep my sights set on something so unreal
I’ll watch myself spiral into the surreal
Oh we’re living the high life, tripping on white noise
I’m just vibin’ to… to the sound of your voice
Been listening to music that makes me manic
I’m stuck in my room and I start to panic
Oh we’re living under lockdown, sinking into bass sounds
I’m just waiting until we finally drown
I’m losing my grip on the world around me
I’m lost in my room and-
I’m locked on your bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
(Baby help me,
I think I’m going crazy?
Oh no! Did I fall for an ethereal being?
Oh no! Did I fall for an ethereal being?)
✧
I need you near me
My heart is full of petty lunacy
My imaginary darling,
I’m right here but somehow I can’t breathe
Timeless never-ending nightmare
I’m hysterical and unaware
My illusionary world is
Just floating in fleeting elegance
And I’m locked on your bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes
Bedroom eyes

I miss you
Like my girlfriends miss sunset evenings
But you’re out there
Living every day like halloween
Baby I need you
‘Cause Real life is overrated
Oh psychedelic creature
We’re making so many mistakes
I’m in a worst case scenario
Maybe I should let go
Would you welcome me into your world
Maybe then I’d let go
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
Would you stay by my side
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
You’re a sight for sore eyes
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
Would you stay by my side
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
You’re a sight for sore eyes
✧
Hey, tell me
What you’re thinking when you fall asleep
When we’re laughing
we might as well be crying crocodile tears
Oh, Shapeshifter
You’re running for hours and hours
Hear the pitter patter
But every sound is tasting so sour
The monsters hide when we shut our mind
“catch me if you can”
Do you dare to make me feel alive
Catch me if you can
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
Would you stay by my side
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
You’re a sight for sore eyes
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
Would you stay by my side
Hey wonder kid, wonder kid
You’re a sight for sore eyes

My ears are blocked
But I’ve learned to listen
Underwater
My mouth is shut
And I’m thinking ‘so what?’
With the graveyard boys
We’ll be dancing to the noise
With the big bad wolves
We’ll be chasing ourselves
My eyes are stuck
Cuz I saw an angel
through my window
“Can you fight gravity?
Is the devil your queen?
I’m running upside down
In the haunted playground”
She didn’t see the knife in her back
She only felt her wings start to snap
Where did her closeted skeletons go?
Earth was not her home
“Earth is not my home”
Her heart was a time bomb ticking in her rib cage
In her rib cage, in her rib cage
✧
I feel so tired
I’m replaying my Malibu
Daydreams
Oh fairytale days
Now I’m miles away
With the soulless boys
We’ll be lusting over life
When the monsters run
We’ll be hunting for love
My lofty gaze
Towers over someplace
Where she wanders
“Can you fight gravity?
Is the devil your queen?
I’m running upside down
In the haunted playground”
She didn’t see the knife in her back
She only felt her wings start to snap
Where did her closeted skeletons go?
Earth was not her home
“Earth is not my home”
Her heart was a time bomb ticking in her rib cage
In her rib cage, in her rib cage
Her three wise monkeys have been misguided
And so us lowlifes remain unnoticed
“Can you fight gravity?
Is the devil your queen?
I’m running upside down
In the haunted playground”
She didn’t see the knife in her back
She only felt her wings start to snap
Where did her closeted skeletons go?
Earth was not her home
“Earth is not my home”
Her heart was a time bomb ticking in her rib cage
In her rib cage, in her rib cage

My thoughts undress in front of your eyes
Got nowhere to go, lost to paradise
Tell me are you still in pain
Nostalgia, what ‘cha want from me?
I’ve been hypnotised by your loving deceit.
Trauma’s washed my ugly brain
The sunrise has got nothin of me
Empowered by flowery fragility
I’ve disappeared
They never knew
(Playtime’s got ’cha down
Play the ghost town)
And what I feared
Only came true
(Heart’s can’t win the crown
Queen of ghost town)
Perhaps the deck’s against me
The winning hand’s been lost in my sheets
Perhaps I’ve been unhealthy
My life’s already dealt cuz now
Playtime’s got me down
I’ve played the Ghost Town
✧
So we’re back here again
In an endless patch, with my hands on your neck
You’ve become so unaware
And now I’m bare, don’t you look this way
Even though my crown’s weighing down on me
Can’t believe I used to care
Oh, night sky, you’ve got nothin of me
You’re charmed by sweetness just like cherries.
I’ve disappeared
They never knew
“Playtime’s gotcha down
Play the ghost town”
And what I feared
Only came true”
“Heart’s can’t win the crown
Queen of ghost town”
Perhaps the deck’s against me
The winning hand’s been lost in my sheets
Perhaps I’ve been unhealthy
My life’s already dealt cuz now
Playtime’s got me down
I’ve played the ghost town

I’ve lost my mind and
I don’t know where to find it
can you help me find it
I threw some pity parties
to wait out the graveyard shift
Maybe we should look here
It’s past midnight
It’s been a while
We’ll skip through time
Hopscotch style
We’re Night kids and nihilists
Why do I exist?
You think I’m so angelic
Don’t you know we’re all misfits
I made a deal with the devil
To bump me up a level
Wanna deal with the devil?
Wanna deal with the devil?
✧
You’re gonna fumble under
Existential trouble
My existence is laughable
Let’s have a pity party
with a few high res apologies
“baby I’m so sorry”
From dusk to dawn
We’re all so down
‘Cause we’re logged on
To ‘nightmare town’
We’re Night kids and nihilists
Why do I exist?
You think I’m so angelic
Don’t you know we’re all misfits
I made a deal with the devil
To bump me down a level
Wanna deal with the devil?
Wanna deal with the devil?
I made a deal with the devil
I'm like a broken record
Wanna deal with the devil?
Wanna deal with the devil?
I made a deal with the devil
‘Cause living's so surreal
Wanna pass as an angel?
Wanna daydream in hell?
I made a deal with angel
To bump me up a level
Wanna deal like a devil?
Wanna deal like a devil?

Our memories aren’t in motion
We’ve stumbled into free fall
We’re in the fast lane overlooking the ocean
But I don’t think you could take it all
We’ll take the fall
Don’t think you could take it all, take it all
Swallow the night time’s call
Better get out ‘cuz we got,
‘Cuz we got
Little oblivions watching us
Little oblivions luring us
Gonna run out of the stuff
We huff and puff
Little oblivions creeping up
Little oblivion wake me up
Now’s no time for dreamscape parties
Party in pitied memories
Fall asleep in fantasies
And maybe you’ll forget this journey
Close your eyes and look behind me
Meander through the highways
On this ground we’ve lost and found
You’ve gambled on the glow of Ghost Town
✧
You thought you felt an angel
Cross your heart and kill the unstable
We’re in the fast lane watching playback of yesteryear
But its not a sight that I could bare
We’ll walk on air
But it’s not a sight that I could bare ‘cuz I
Feel your endearing glare
Better get out ‘cuz we got,
‘Cuz we got
Little oblivions watching us
Little oblivions luring us
Gonna run out of the stuff
We huff and puff
Little oblivions creeping up
Little oblivion wake me up
Now’s no time for dreamscape parties
Party in pitied memories
Fall asleep in fantasies
And maybe you’ll forget this journey
Close your eyes and look behind me
Meander through the highways
On this ground we’ve lost and found
You’ve gambled on the glow of Ghost Town
✧
Dear little oblivion…
(So I say to you)
Dear my delirium
(And you’ve got no clue)
Just a little more dreaming
Better get out ‘cuz we got,
‘Cuz we got
Little oblivions watching us
Little oblivions luring us
Gonna run out of the stuff
We huff and puff
Little oblivions creeping up
Little oblivion wake me up
Now’s no time for dreamscape parties
Party in pitied memories
Fall asleep in fantasies
And maybe you’ll forget this journey
(Dear my delirium)
Close your eyes and look behind me
Meander through the highways
On this ground we’ve lost and found
You’ve gambled on the glow of Ghost Town
Little oblivion, wake me up
