Got a blue jagged heart (does it work)
My love pumps out real bizarre (it kind of hurts)
To an abyss that is bleak and dark (where I can’t see)
Out of kilter, it’s left its mark (why does it control me)
No need to atone
I'm better on my own
I'm shielded from the light
It'll be all right
Got a blue jagged heart (it doesn’t work)
With a penchant for going dark (my evil lurks)
Makes it easy for us to part (it doesn’t hurt)
Yet I wish you had left your mark
Don’t think I can atone
I’m stuck being alone
Maybe I need some light
To make me all right
Lost my blue jagged heart that kept me from emotion
But I'm still falling apart, my tears have formed an ocean
When will the healing start, can’t help myself, I’m no doctor
Reticence was never my art, gotta keep my feelings locked or…
It’s time to atone
Don’t wanna be alone
I’m headed towards the light
It will be all right
Now that my heart is red
I won’t turn it blue again
I won’t turn it blue again (I won’t I won’t I won’t I won’t)

I don’t want the sun to come out
love how you enjoy the storm clouds
I don’t want to wear my layers
When I’m cold you’re always there
Avoiding puddles
Our steps synchronize
Not just another stranger
I romanticize
I don’t want the sun to come out
Love how you enjoy the storm clouds
I don’t want to wear my layers
When I’m cold you’re always there
I just want your eyes to light up
In them I see all the raindrops
Don’t want the mist to disappear
‘cause you’re ecstatic when it’s here
Avoiding puddles
Our steps synchronize
Not just another stranger
I romanticize
Soaking wet
No umbrellas
We left them inside
Flooding streets
Smiling cheeks
My feelings don’t juxtaposize
Avoiding puddles
Our steps synchronize
Not just another stranger
I romanticize
Avoiding puddles
Our steps synchronize

Rose garden
Stones aligning
Petals
Vines are winding
Dangerous
Thorns are hiding
Your screen
Light is blinding
To be here alone
To be here alone
Is something we all need
Splashing
Fish are swimming
Pink sky
The sunset’s beginning
Soft grass
Is perfect for sitting
Unplug
It's the time for living
To be here alone
To be here alone
Is something we all need
Leave your phone at home
Leave your phone at home
And start to really see
Just open your eyes
Look up to the skies
Feel the wind in your hair
Memories may last
Through a photograph
But it’s not the same as being there
To be here alone
To be here alone
Is something we all need
Rose garden
Stones aligning
Your screen
Light is blinding
Leave your phone at home
Leave your phone at home
And start to really see
Just open your eyes
Look up to the sky’s
Feel the wind in your hair
Memories may last
Through a photograph
But it’s not the same as being there

Empty schedule, empty days
Where’s the chaos, the disarray
I miss doing all of the things that you need
‘cause it’s been a month and all I’ve done is read
Since you’ve stopped coming
Coming around
My one empty glass sits in the spotless sink
No china plates fall if I stop to blink
Empty schedule empty days
Where’s the chaos
Since you’ve stopped coming
I’ve been looking and I’ve been searching for the secret to time
Don’t wanna separate from the world
Unless you’re living in mine
People told me to not have children
‘cause I’d lose them down the line
18 years and you were my orbit
But now the path is just mine
It’s been a month since you’ve gone
Why can’t you just live at home
I’m paying for your college
So now I’m broke and alone
A parental conundrum
The parental conundrum
Night falls and the morning breaks
Just as it does every day
Imagining if the sun were to go
Or if our Floridian streets filled with snow
So strange, you’ve stopped coming
I’ve been looking and I’ve been searching for the secret to time
Don’t wanna separate from the world
Unless you’re living in mine
People told me to not have children
Cause I’d lose them down the line
18 years and you were my orbit
But now the path is just mine
It’s been a month since you’ve gone
Why can’t you just live at home
I’m paying for your college
So now I’m broke and alone
It’s been a month since you’ve gone
Why can’t you just live at home
I’m paying for your college
So now I’m broke and alone
A parental conundrum
The parental conundrum

Truth is something we need
We’re not trusting enough
To simply believe
Hurt likes to take the driver’s seat
It throws you in the trunk
And speeds ‘til you bleed
Tell me
Why your truth should be mine too
Trusting
Is the hardest thing to loose
Maybe
This is something we outgrew
Hold me
Excuses
Why can’t I distinguish
Between these and a reason
Which one is which
Crying
Why are you so blue
Of course I don’t care what you did
I’ll still comfort you
Tell me
Why your truth should be mine too
Trusting
Is the hardest thing to loose
Maybe
This is something we outgrew
Hold me
Lately
There’s a disconnect with you
Tell me
Have you noticed it too?
Maybe
What you’re saying is true
Convince me
Do I need this
Did you notice
That we lost this
Do you care
Did I miss it
Do you know it
Should I fight it
Do I care
Tell me
Why your truth should be mine too
Trusting
Is the hardest thing to lose
Maybe
This is something we outgrew
Hold me
Lately
There’s a disconnect with you
Tell me
Have you noticed it too
Maybe
What you’re saying is true
Convince me

There’s a movie out there
Young people break into rich people’s homes
Rich people’s home
Rearrange all the furniture
Touch everything
They don’t steal anything
Rearrange everything
They don’t steal anything
The Edukators
I found out
So beautiful
Edukators, edukators
