Orillia This album seriously holds the saddest places in my heart. When I'm really in my feelings I just lay in bed and listen and embrace the feels. Thank you for creating such amazing music and poetry. Favorite track: Columbines.

Columbines 04:01
Spent three days in your bed My heart was open Your legs were spread I touched your scars As the sun replaced the stars Sleeping naked in each other’s arms I dreamt we ran far away To a place where no one knew our names Get some open air For those flowers in your hair We tossed our worries to the wind You say you’re tired of hurting anyway The past is swallowing your time Don’t fear I’ll take you anywhere Kiss those wrinkles around your eyes. I still remember what you told me Before you went away: “Protect your heart, Shine a light into the dark Your tears are bound to end any day” I don’t see you anymore My darkness has begun to blur You were right, A broken heart just needs some time Wolves cry out in the dead of night Let the days run away And the columbines decay But your beauty will never fade

When she was young, she had it all; now the glory fades into a sun-soaked sky. She’s crying out for darkness, a darkness that covers the pain of living. It started out feeling right but it slowly faded and no one has an answer for her. She doesn’t know why there’s nothing that numbs the misery She looks to the sky, all she sees is the rain and everyday is the same. Deep inside, she longs for love but all she feels is her pain. Her only friends are a lonely pair: silence and solitude. And when past strikes her mind, there’s no escape, she feels nothing. There’s a grave feeling in the air; A calmness that’s sickening. There’s no escaping her strife: no place to run, no place to hide, so she prays for death. She looks to the sky, all she sees is the rain and everyday feels grey. Because a heart can take only so much hurt before it plants a razor in her vein.

Waiting 03:31
Do you ever feel you’re waiting for your life to start? I’ve been waiting so long. I keep waiting for something to save me. Ain’t nothing gonna to save me now. I keep feeling like there’s no end in sight. My hope is gone, but not my life. I’ve pushed through the pain a thousand times; I’m not sure I will this time. Because life is cruel, sick joke and nobody’s laughing, nobody at all. I missed the punchline again tonight.

Dawson 03:40
Did she ever make it out of Dawson? The place where dreams come to die. She hates that town, it’s just the safest place to drown. Did she make it out of Dawson? I remember her as a lady: innocent precious one. The gallows called, she sold her love for gold and now she’s sleeping in the daisies. Hang your head for that lady. Junk just seemed like the only choice to make. She’s got that charm as she’s tying her main vein off and she tastes just like a craving. She bought a ticket on a greyhound. No one knew where she was bound: a place up north where the cold winds feel like home so her lungs could do some failing They found her out in a field feeding flowers with her blood: they breathe her death, that sweet smell of success, a broken heart no longer beating. Hang your head for that lady. Her body gave up long before today. She’s headed now to a place up in the clouds where nobody knows what pain is.

There was a time when I needed someone. Those days hit like machine guns. I'm doing fine, seeing lots of pretty things, but it still gets lonely sometimes And I don't care anymore Paint my nails, put on makeup and a dress: do you wanna fuck me or stab me to death? It takes courage to deal with the stares. Sometimes I just stay in bed and that's fine Because I don't care anymore. Loving me shouldn't be a chore. Tired of looking in the mirror Seeing those eyes I hate so dear looking back, digging in, crying out for a friend. I don't hate this town, I just hate myself. What's a little self-abuse? It's just a little self-abuse. Right now I just hate myself I'm having trouble trying to love myself. When your gender doesn't fit on their shelf, your body feels home like a jail cell. Under the full moon, sailing over the sea, I sit and exist. Here I am, A tornado tormenting my head: nothing's wrong, nothing's right; I'm here then I'm dead. I’m here and I don't care anymore; my bones will wash up on the shore. I don't care anymore
