Islands 05:20
Welcoming you into my head Chemicals they’re always ahead Visions of sounds they always play On a trip for something good Something good In the mind of an Islands Something new In the mind of an Islands (Welcoming you into my head) (Chemicals they're always ahead)
2.
Comet 05:25
Fishnets and short skirts seems the kind of Things that you would wear But I've seen a better vision of you before You disappear from my sight You, you were my 10 second light rays In the corner of my eye You, you were the missing Comet trails That I've been looking for Another vision of you in my dark cosmic ray Would probably save my life I know the distances between us is very far for us to see each other But then it'll be nice for us to see each other again through The virtual world You only appear in the middle of the night for me like a shooting star I miss seeing you crossing by when I'm looking up for a better view You, you were my 5 second light rays In the corner of my eye You, you were the missing Comet trails That I've been looking for Another vision of you in my dark cosmic ray Would probably save my life You, you were my 1 second light rays In the corner of my eye You, you were the missing Comet trails That I've been looking for Another vision of you in my dark cosmic ray Would probably save my life

Miss your eyes since the day we’re caught up in the void I always knew that you’re the only one who could save me But things went sideways and I want you to know that I still Can’t move on from the love that you gave me back then Victoria Victoria Victoria It’s been awhile since we’ve talked to each other Your voice still echoes in my hallway every night Always thought you’d be coming back to home again But it seems like I’m the only one who’s coming back to you Victoria Victoria Victoria Victoria Victoria Victoria (It’s not gonna be the same) (It’s not gonna be the same) (It’s not gonna be the same) (Same...) (Same...) (Same...) (Victoria...) (Victoria...) (Victoria...)
4.
Oh no, is this how it ends? Losing my mind, I’m losing my friends Tell me how do I make friends again? I guess people come and go as you’re aging, It's normal Started when I was in my room Doing all the things that I thought was okay People say “Be yourself, you’ll be okay.” But what’s the point of us being ourselves Knowing the fact they’ll hit us anyway I think I wanna be an alien, No I was always an alien Take me back to the start Where things were good again.
5.
Should've listened the first time It's getting to my head Puppeteer's calling It's time to meet death Fall into place This is how you should've died I know its hard to believe it But this is how everything should've ended Don't be afraid to close your eyes oh honey Oh don't be afraid to let yourself go for a bit Fall into place This is how everything should've ended All I have is good intentions But people thought it wrong I'm scared to take the risk again Guess this is how it ends Fall into place This is how you should've died I know its hard to believe it But this is how everything should've ended Don't be afraid to close your eyes oh honey Oh don't be afraid to let yourself go for a bit Fall into place This is how everything should've ended (Suicide is the right way to go, suicide is the wrong way to go) (Suicide is the right way to go, suicide is the wrong way to go) (Tell me how before it’s too late) I don't wanna be like this anymore (Tell me how before it’s too late) I know there's time to make things right again (Tell me how before it’s too late) I don't wanna waste my life anymore (Tell me how before it’s too late) I'm just tryna make things right again (Tell me how before it’s too late) I‘m trying my best to not to make the same mistakes (Tell me how before it’s too late) I’m trying my best to not to feel the same

The voices in my head has been keeping me awake At night for a while now With you by my side, I guess it’ll be alright for a moment Just to calm me down And I say, suicide is the right way to go And you say, suicide is the wrong way to go So wont you stay with me? For another night with me here on this bed?  So wont you comfort me? With all the Dreams Suicide that’s been going in my head? We used to talk about the future together and now its here You’re not with me am I all alone again?  Wondering what’s wrong with you freaking out on me, I guess this is just another bad dream for you And you say this time, suicide is the right way to go And I say this time, suicide is the wrong way to go So wont you stay with me? For another night with me here on this bed?  So wont you comfort me? With all the Dreams Suicide that’s been going in my head? Well I wonder Well I wonder

New Person 03:45
Post break up song This is how it starts I’m a sucker at love but It’ll be cool again to love someone I think it’s been awhile now Not sure how long it's been Awhile from love/life I don’t know who I’m becoming now Hope its someone good I know I need some changes in me Hope its something new Wanna be better Wanna be better at things Wanna be better Wanna be better at loving Wanna be better Wanna be better at friends Wanna be better Wanna be better in life Wanna be better Wanna be better

Flower 04:10
Put the flower on the car And tape it on the back And I’ll drive it around for hours Throw some water on it to keep her alive and fresh So that she wont feel the dying heat I said put the flower on the car And tape it on the front dash And I’ll drive her for days Throw some light to her so she can Feel the warm feelings Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Put the flower in the car And tape it to the driver seat And watch her go Put the flower in the car And tape it to the driver seat And watch her go To be free.
