Pushing buttons till they break Delicate foundations, they quake While accusing you’re excusing your mistakes You’re unrealistic And the house of cards you built inside your mind Is falling down around you And the ashes you keep rising from will Deepen till they start to drown you Is there any evidence inside your mind As the mob surrounds you Wall to wall your lies have built it all So rise and face the fall. The final straw that broke your back, stretch it out upon the rack You’re entitled to a rival, take it back You’re optimistic. Open ended arguments, no one else is making sense Juvenile for a while, you take a breath, Idealistic

Fair 04:49
If nothing is fair then, why should I now start to care? Now I’m stuck again but this is nothing new. I’m sorry to use you to my disadvantage but I’m better when stakes are high. Your face changed but your name always stays the same. I’ll whisper so that you won’t make me let you back in. These dancing doors open and close with every decision I have made. I love it when he talks to you. Why won’t you let me in if it all feels the same? I love it when he talks to you.

When is it time to start? I’m going nowhere and it’s taking me apart Nighttime comes when day is done Reminds me time and space will wait for no one Say what you will but save me, Cuz I haven’t been me lately And I can feel something breaking all around Things aren’t going badly, but that’s as good as things can be Without something more. I closed my head and locked it tight But couldn’t stop the soundless fights How can anyone be so sure When nothing’s wrong but nothing’s right

M 04:28
I am in love with you, and I can’t say how I put chains In my heart in a box in a room But couldn’t fix it with records or glue, and I’m sorry 'Cause I know what happens next I can feel a change in thinking coming on And I hope you believe me when I say The love I gave you was an honest mistake You’ll be sorry, 'cause I know What happens next All I have is fleeting love I remember what it’s like to forget And even I laugh, yeah even I laugh

Charlie 06:09
Peering out of Piercing eyes, He tells a tale of catonic demise. You are every one of us, And so much more than everything he cries. And innocence is relative To permanence you’ll never live to see. So make your last obsessions and Prepare your last confessions, follow me. Vampires and acrobats, computers and subway rats are Ripping through my head. And Cocaine girls write melodies of glorious fidelities I dread. She says it as she’s ripping me to shreds. Madness makes a man become A martyr in the war for black and white. And solitary torture builds A character of unrelenting fright. So he lashes ‘gainst the masses Carrying a flag of burning doubt. It billows through the ashes Till the villages and cities are washed out.

Pyrite 03:50
Where are my manners, I should ignore the holes in your plot. The same lines in a different story are all I’ve got And I heard your footsteps in thunder Now you’re raining with nothing to lose You left the day before yesterday and took all your dues And I am not disappointed, you played your part Faking more is just your art. Angels, they faded in snow Your ship went down with its crew. You paid for my time in pyrite, and I’m coming for you
7.
Is there nothing wrong? Nothing I can say? You built your world in bricks but Liquor’s breaking up the clay And I am living here, where no one gets my calls, You’re killing all my messengers but I’m tearing down your walls Is there nothing wrong? There are no more fair trades Believe me when they come for you There won’t be a parade And every interaction, you just won’t fucking learn, You build your pretty gardens up to see what hue they burn And I am not god and you’re not saved.
8.
Fifteen 04:27
Should we let it die? Should we let it burn? The fire’s out Should we let it rest in peace? Tell me when you want me off your crowded shelf Isn’t any space for me Time time time couldn’t heal any of the mess All your lies, all my fears Look me in the eye Tell me that you always sleep at night Tell me that you feel alive Sing to me again, sing to me the song I’ve long forgot Smoke your cigarette and leave Sorry I was just wondering how much time I fucking wasted How the war is won

Parachute 06:36
Please ignore me, in time I’ll fade away Don’t implore me to try to be around (lover) We are nothing but impatient lovers trying hard to get it right So desperate for that fleeting feeling we look past everything Flying through turbulence to hide this out of sight Dancing with nightmares to pass the time Sometimes laughter’s the worst sign We have lost ourselves in planning smiles, giving in and pushing through Planting thoughts into each other in hopes we already knew We are nothing but impatient lovers trying hard to get it right So desperate for that fleeting feeling we look Falling down through the in between Starting over and holding on Life’s an endless free fall So when you’re ready pull the cord.

Wolf 04:38
You wait wait wait, on the one He’s not going to save you now You’re the girl who cried ‘love’ You sprint in between the trees In chase of the scent of blood Flowing out from a broken heart And even though you’re only in my head, I see you bright as day. You’re the one they say is a wolf And it doesn’t mean a thing, it’s nothing personal she said She will be happiest when she’s ripping you to shreds. The lights bounce off the lake as you stalk your prey The outskirts of his periphery would make no discovery Cold blue lipstick and leather tights catch his eye He knows she’ll be his demise And even though he caught it far too late, He sees you bright as day You’re the one they say is a wolf And it doesn’t mean a thing, it’s nothing personal she said She will be happiest when she’s ripping you to shreds Please, just grant me this; she stood over him as he plead Bury my heart underneath my bed And she said oh. Good night.
