"pointless and good at it" LYRICS:

We were young, we were pointless and good at it 
Look at me now, do I make you proud 
We were dumb but my god we were good at it 
What a time what a time to be alive 

Yeah you're burning the edge of me 
Laugh at me quietly 
Tell me it's fine to come home 
Yeah I'll swear it's a masterpiece 
Light up in ecstasy 
You're pulling me down pulling me down and 

Do you want to wear a crown 
Would you feel better now 
If all the fires in the forest never made a sound 
Yeah it chills me to the bone 
That you're tied to your throne 
You tell me if I want to fly then I'll just fall alone 

Chorus: 
We were young, we were pointless and good at it 
Look at me now, do I make you proud 
We were dumb but my god we were good at it 
What a time what a time to be alive 

Yeah I climb up the walls I see 
You say it's too high for me 
Tell me it's time to come down down down 
Yeah the voices in my head turn me black and blue 
But it's funny how these voices they sound just like you 

Take me in, wait me out, hold me in, break me down 
Let me in, calm me down, pull me in, let me out 

(Chorus)

Yeah you're burning the edge of me 
Turning shadows into clarity 
'Cause the world is gonna say no 
Just because you said so 
All these walls are made of ivory 
But they crack the more you lie to me 
Yeah I'm never gonna come home 
Never gonna come home 

(Chorus)

"B.B" Lyrics:

Yeah I never knew that people could be born broken, born broken 
Yeah I never knew that people could be born broken, born broken 

Let me in your brain, keep em talking 
Fingers stained, I go wash it 
(You know it's a bad time, it's a bad time, I crossed a line 
Came to collect the gold in your teeth 
Why can't it keep you from smiling at me 
Telling me that things will be ok 
You'll love me anyway) 

And I'll crawl back in time when no one knew 
I miss it too 

Chorus: 
Yeah I never knew that people could be born broken, born broken 
Yeah I never knew that people could be born broken, born broken 
And I know I've never done anything wrong 
To justify all the things I would become 
And I never knew that people could be born broken, born broken 

I promise that my folks were the nice ones 
Know you want to blame them 
Something 'bout the way that they raised me 
They twisted and changed me 
There's no coming back, walked a bit too far now 
Standing on the bridge I burned 
What a long way down 

Chorus 

Achy breaky would you take me 
Dust me off and say you'll save me 
Take a look I'm first edition 
Melted doll in mint condition 
Look at me and don't see you 

Chorus

"Pathetic" LYRICS:

Written, Produced, and Performed by: Avaya

Wiser comes the man from the water reborn 

Still holds his stained clothes like they're all that he owns 

Take a look around and let him bleed 

I walk with scraped knees trying to find my way home 

You holding my hand just makes me feel more alone 

'Cause i know that you'd rather stay with her 

And maybe if we make a change 

It'll all be great, it can all be great can't it 

And maybe if we stay the same 

All our problems will fade away 

Chorus :

I know that you're coming home 

With her on your mind 

For the millionth time 

Paint over her face with mine 

And pretend I'm blind 'cause you think you're being kind 

If we just wait this out 

And we don't say a word of this out loud to anybody 

I know you'll find your way back to me 

Does that make me pathetic 

Hungry comes the man from his dreaming 

He says, "I'm ready for love no matter how long it takes" 

Its funny how whats stupid sounds so sweet 

Take it out and hang it up 

'Cause the inks bleeding through the crisp white sheets you love 

And we keep scratching at our faces in the dark 

Don't pretend you're asleep 

Then sneak out to your car 

(Chorus Repeat) 

I know that you're coming home 

With her on your mind 

For the millionth time 

Paint over her face with mine 

And pretend I'm blind 'cause you think you're being kind 

If we just wait this out 

And we don't say a word of this out loud to anybody 

I know you'll find your way back to me 

Does that make me pathetic  

Guess that makes me pathetic

"Gonna Do It Anyways" Lyrics: 

Written, produced and performed by: Avaya

Watching through rose colored goggles 
Yeah we got a problem 
and I know I'll only make it worse 
You're standing a little closer 
But everyone knows that 
You never really go for girls like me 
But we'll talk 
With your hand 'round my waist  
And that look in your face like it's gonna happen 
And I know that what we'll do is wrong 
But we both know I'm gonna do it anyways 

Who cares if I'm losing my mind 
Just kiss me while we still have time 
And only you could make me feel like I'm one of you 
Who cares if I'm out of my head 
Turn my blood from blue to red  
Oh how the mighty ones fall 
And you won't remember me at all 

Walking through a house of models 
And red cups and bottles 
The music is playing, the lights they move 
Yeah it's the right kind of blurry 
And we're in a hurry 
'Cause I know we both see the empty room 
And we dance 
Yeah we're nose to nose 
Oh is this too close 
Is it gonna happen 
Is it right - now his hands in my hair 
And suddenly I don't care 
I do it anyways 

Who cares if I'm losing my mind 
Just kiss me while we still have time 
And only you could make me feel like I'm one of you 
Who cares if I'm out of my head 
Turn my blood from blue to red  
Oh how the mighty ones fall 
And you won't remember me at all 

And just for the moment 
Hold me tight, be my ride or die 
And I knew it was empty but god it's nice 
To feel alive 
And I don't do this normally 
He touches me, I can't breathe 
I know they are judging me  
But I don't really care 

Who cares if I'm losing my mind 
Just kiss me while we still have time 
And only you could make me feel like I'm one of you 
Who cares if I'm out of my head 
Turn my blood from blue to red  
Oh how the mighty ones fall 
And you won't remember me at all

 "Last Words" Lyrics:

Written, produced and performed by: Avaya

Can I tell you 
Something that really scares me 
What if we look back 
And can't remember the good 
Like we're in a sea of crowded bodies  
Keeping our faces down 
To make sure our eyes don't meet across the room 

Yeah they're saying their lines 
While their hands are tied 
And I'll smile to you 
'Cause even if we don't stay friends 
I'll never forget why I loved you 

Oh I'm dreaming about you my darling 
And what my life would be like if we didn't last the day 
Oh please wake me 
From this dream, my darling 
So I can tell you I love you  
And make sure we leave it that way 
If it's the last words that we say  
If it's the last words that we say 

Oh don't look at the mirrors, look at me 
Yeah they're bent and tall and twisted 
Only show us what the world wants us to see 
How could I forget the way you make me feel right now 
Oh yeah don't look down 

'Cause I can't stop dreaming 
About you, my darling  
And what my life would be like if we didn't last the day  
Oh please wake me from this dream, my darling  
So I can tell you I love you and make sure we leave it that way  
If it's the last words that we say 

And if the world was ending  
I would be the first to call 
I'd thank you for the worst parts 
I'd thank you for it all 

Oh I'm dreaming about you my darling 
And what my life would be like if we didn't last the day 
Oh please wake me 
From this dream, my darling 
So I can tell you I love you  
And make sure we leave it that way 
If it's the last words that we say  
If it's the last words that we say

"The Shakes" Lyrics:

Written, produced and performed by: Avaya

It's like going down the stairs but then you skip a step 
It's like you know you want to gasp but just can't take a breath 
My skin's on fire 
Or I'm just tired  
Yeah don't be so dramatic 

It's like you know you have to leave but can't get out the door 
It's like there's something that you need but you don't know what you're looking for  
You haven't walked a step 
Yet somehow you're out of breath 
It's ok, I'm ok, I'm ok 
I've got the shakes 

It's like the only thing you want is just to be alone 
It's like there's something that keeps pushing 
But it's pushing from your bones 
It's so hard to explain 
It's not like I'm here in pain 
I'm ok, I'm ok, I'm ok 

And maybe  
This is all exaggerating  
Those who know me know I'm never afraid 
Yeah I got no worries 
Look at me winning 
I guess there's no point in coming out and just flat out admitting 
I've got the shakes

"TEMPEST" LYRICS:

Written and performed by: Avaya

We were 15 when I first saw your face 
Oh your mama just left and you're trying to be brave 
You took it out on the world but I liked you that way 
I said don't worry 'bout a thing 
I'll put you right back together again 

You were 16 when you first kissed my face 
Oh you said that you loved me, we both were so sure what it meant 
You took me to your parties, showed me off to your friends 
Always held back my hair, isn't that what romance is 

How could they know what a love costs 
How could they when they have never loved this hard and 
God know I am trying 
Just surviving on this beauty in a tempest 

We were 19 we thought we'd run away 
All they saw were the bruises not the beautiful fire we made 
Oh we laugh and we cry, we make love and we'd fight 
Then we'd pick up the pieces and hold them together so tight 

How could they know what a love costs 
How could they when they have never loved this hard and God knows I am trying 
Just surviving on this beauty in a tempest 

We were 15 when I first saw your face 
Oh I saw all the problems but just couldn't turn away 
Now it's done and it's broken but I cant help wondering 
If I'll ever love so hard like that again 

How could they know what a love costs 
How could they when they have never loved this hard and God knows I am trying 
Just surviving on this beauty in a tempest

"MADELINE" LYRICS:

Written and performed by: Avaya

Madeline I heard you're coming home tonight 

And I'll cancel plans to see you even though I've fallen behind 

And I'll watch you spin them round that little finger as you play 

Oh Madeline, you caught their eye and now they all can't look away 

If I could be you, If I could be you 

If I could be you sweet madeline 

If I could be you, If I could be you 

If I could be you sweet Madeline 

Oh Honey would you mind 

Madeline I heard you've got a show tonight 

And what I would give for you to know my name 

Oh Madeline, I'll watch the light get tangled in your hair 

And you'll have no idea that I was even there 

If I could be you, If I could be you 

If I could be you sweet madeline 

If I could be you, If I could be you 

If I could be you sweet Madeline 

Oh Honey would you mind 

Oh Honey you wont mind would you 

Take me with you, Take me with you Madeline 

Teach me will you, Teach me will you Madeline 

Ooooo 

Ooooo 

If I could be you, If I could be you 

If I could be you sweet madeline 

If I could be you, If I could be you 

If I could be you sweet Madeline 

Oh Honey would you mind 

Oh Honey you won't mind would you 

How could you if you don't know who I am

"Mark My Words" Lyrics:

A glimpse of what we had 
Carved into the walls 
That's worn now to the bone 
As we sit alone 
Wondering if we were stupid or we were right 

And I don't really care who keeps you warm at night 
As long as when you hold her tight 
You see me in her eyes 
And lose your mind that I am in your head 

You won't feel the fire 
Oh you'll just see her and see that she isn't me 
Yeah you can leave 
Oh you can leave 
But mark my words 
You won't be seeing the end of me 

You won't be seeing the end of me 

Walking here alone 
I won't say a thing 
Doesn't matter what I feel 
As long as you're hurting 
As long as you're hurting 

And I don't really care who keeps you warm at night 
As long as when you hold her tight 
You see me in her eyes 
And lose your mind that I am in your head 

You won't feel the fire 
Oh you'll just see her and see that she isn't me 
Yeah you can leave 
Oh you can leave 
But mark my words 
You won't be seeing the end of me 

You won't be seeing the end of me 

And I won't feel 
The way you feel when you call at 3am 
And wonder why I'm never by the phone 
Take your shots 
I won't cry 
I will go without a fight 
'Cause you've just ruined your life 
Mark my words 
Mark my 

You won't be seeing the end of me

"Hidden" Lyrics:

Song Title: Hidden

Music and Lyrics: AVIVA

Producer: Ofer Hammerman

I watched as comets tore across the empty night
While counting my blessings I counted one more   
As it fell out of the sky  
So I built up a castle of the finest stone  
And I never seemed to notice just how large it got   
Till I slept there alone   

Chorus:  
Where is your God  
And why does he hide  
Why does he leave  
His heroes behind  
How can he listen to, then pick and choose from all of his children  
Where is your God  
He isn't mine  

Why would I shake hands with a tin man  
Who swore he had a heart   
But then watched me fall apart like that  
They say now she sits next to him too  
Like angels do  
But she was my angel too  

Where is your God   
And why does he hide   
Why does he leave   
His heroes behind   
How could he listen to, then pick and choose from all of his children   
Where is your God   
He isn't mine  

 
Give me a sound  
To break the nothing  
I'll wait for a sound  
Why do I wait   
Even now  

'Cause you are my god   
Even when you hide  
Even when you leave  
My heroes behind  
How can you listen to, then pick and choose from all of your children  
Where is your God, Where is your God  

Where is your God  
And why does he hide  
Why does he leave   
His heroes behind  
How can he listen to then pick and choose from all of his children  
Where is your God  

He is still mine.
