lyrics below

"luke's theme"
(instrumental)

"calling"
you call, no reason to start
you fall right into my arms
but you drift off, you slip
into the abyss again
last night i dreamt i was you
feigning smiles, but really who knew?
that you'd drift off, you'd miss
it ended like this
and you call at the wrong time again
i'll fake, i'll make a mistake
i'll break just for your sake
but you drift off, you slide
you take all the time in the world
you call at the wrong time again

"it's you"
took two days just to break my heart
another week coming, so please don't start
it's you that changes what i do
don't talk much or go out with friends
staying inside til the day just ends
it's you that hates the things i do
it's us, the thing that hurts too much
it's you, the only thing that puts me through

"winter hold I"
(instrumental)

"hey stars"
hey stars, i'll see you in the sky tonight
break off, fleeing from another fight
could you just tell me it'll be alright?
when it's over now
hey stars, i'll see you in my hands tonight
take off, driving from another fight
red rays from backs of cars, the lack of light
is it over now?
it's over now

"winter hold II"
(instrumental)

"kill your heroes"
well, mark kozlezek's a creep now
but i guess he always was
it's a shame that my heroes
play it off like good fun
i just keep splitting the man from the art that i love
lennon was a racist
every emo band's plain dumb
and who would've thought that ariel pink loved trump?
i just keep splitting the man from the art that i love
don't get me started on burger records, just don't
black lips, power bottom, orwells, growlers, and the buttertones
i just keep splitting the man from the art that i love

"being there"
rage runs rampant in your mind
it takes up all your time
your coffee doesn't taste the same
you will never ever change
it seems like such a shame
your thunderclouds are here to stay
love swells up in your chest
your stomachache's a mess
your mind's a vicious cyclone storm
wish i could do something
speak without a sting
so the warrant for your tears is gone

"ballet"
(instrumental)

"alright"
you're a lot to take sometimes
but i say that it's alright
why can't i put up a fight?
wonder what's all up inside
and i try with all my might
why can't i?
well i can't help but i try
why can't i?
there's a lot inside my heart
but your love is not the start
why can't i find the missing part?

"interest"
and i'll walk by you now
to find where we go down
just lean over and say
would you find me there?
and i'll dream about you now
and i'll sing about you now
just lean over and say
would you find me there?
i've lost interest

"i'm losing my mind"
i'm not the only one
find that you're the only one
for my time
i'm losing my mind
i'm just the only one
find you've been broken down
take my time
i'm losing my mind

"ring the bells"
(instrumental)
