We live in a plastic town and I can see it your eyes, you know there's something more than this, more than these plastic lives. You've been broken down a fire is burning inside. Years of killing yourself, clutching your dreams as they die. Stop pouring your heart out, your bleeding inside, all for plastic towns, all for plastic lives. (repeat) You build these walls around an ache your dying to hide, as you keep planting plastic plants, convincing yourself they're alive. Chorus I know it looks real but it's all in your mind, these fake plastic town, these fake plastic lives, I know it looks real but it's all in your mind, these fake plastic towns, these fake plastic lives in your mind. Chorus

Freckles 03:55
If you could count every freckle on my skin, and find a way to connect where we were to this, count every freckle on my skin, I'll patiently wait here. So baby count every freckle on my skin, until you realize you love me again and if you feel overwhelmed, if your eyes they swell, just start again. If we could fall back into remembering, our bodies, skin to skin, and the little world we built, and how beautiful it is. The little world we built and how beautiful it is. Chorus Sometimes we need to take a step back, sometimes we need to breathe in, sometimes it all falls apart but not us, not this. Chorus

Running back towards the light I was lost in my mind locked in a cage of my own design. I could stop this war inside if only I could pick a side, as darkness wages its war tonight, I'll run towards the light. In my glass house I lie, now you can see me cry as I embrace the beast inside. Chorus Everything's alright, I'll find myself tonight, I needed darkness to see the light, I'll find myself tonight. Chorus

Humiliated 03:39
I'd do anything to get out of this place, I can't escape the feeling of being used. I close my eyes to look at your face as if I'll find something that screams the truth, but I'm humiliated. You're a vampire, a parasite feeding on my obvious pain. Lurking in corners, deep in the night, you ripped out my heart, you left me stranded in chains, and now I'm humiliated. Did you know when you came into my life I was weak, already poisoned by shame? As the day it turned slowly to night, I realized I'm just a pawn in your game. You left me humiliated. This is how you live, so I say goodbye. I'll leave you here like this, drowning in lies, and humiliated, alone and humiliated.

Let Me Run 05:37
In our one chance to fix this, our once chance not to break, you watched as I crumbled and let the wind take me away. We spent so much time wishing, too much was at stake, always searching for words, to wash out the pain. It's okay. I guess I should stumble, I should fall to the floor, I refuse to be in any pain anymore, so believe me when I say, it's okay. I know you'll try and fix it, I know just what you'll say. You'll mend all my pieces, just to throw them away. It's okay. Chorus No I won't stumble, I won't fall to the floor, No I won't be in any pain anymore, so believe me when I say, believe me when I say, it's okay. Let me run.
