I think it's kind of funny how we all want what we can't have, and It's impossible to shake it off when someone hurts your pride like that And I think it's kind of funny how it's not about knowing when to quit It's about knowing when to try, as long as the people deserve it Cause the morning smells like fire has Burned down the whole town, and everyone's Moving on, moving on But what comes after? Repeated, and backwards The words coming through the megaphone I can't go on, I can't go on Wait a minute, don't shut me out You're all I have, I'm older now And my skin doesn't fit me like it used to After the hell they put me through And I haven't learned a goddamn thing I'm busy playing make-believe Pray to God that someone hears me I've been lost at sea Cause the morning smells like fire has Burned down the whole town, and everyone's Moving on, moving on But what comes after? Repeated, and backwards The words coming through the megaphone I can't go on, I can't go on

Let It Out 02:45
As I watch you sleep, there's a fire creeping over me I want to be something better And I'll talk to you again, I'm painting pictures with my skin And I hope for you, you start feeling better You start feeling better And I pray for you, that you learn to use your ears Cause I've bled for you for what feels a hundred years And I'll talk to you again, only asking for a friend And I hope for you, you start feeling better That you start doing better So tell me what you thought about Back when you were young And so full of love When having fun with someone else was just enough But you're older now Making lists And you're breaking vows But you can't let it out But you can't let it out All you had was over now But you can't let it out

I'm On Fire 03:30
I got a lock jaw, pretty little baby Talking to me like she knows me But she doesn't know me She doesn't know me at all I got a picture perfect, never worth it ever after that I wanna see But she'll never see it with me Cause she's got a better happy ending than the one she'd have with me Try not to think about the way you move From side to side, from room to room, and I’m fire in front of you and You refuse to burn your hands I watch you suffer You chase sleep, you tumble over I stumble, running towards the stars outside We try and take shelter I lost myself last winter I felt disconnect free flow from your eyes Try not to think about the way you move From side to side, from room to room, and I’m fire in front of you and You refuse to burn your hands Try not to think about the way you move From side to side, from room to room, and I’m fire in front of you and You refuse to burn your hands

You walk through walls You can't even hold a conversation You could end it all with another 8-Ball If you had one And all that pity, it turned your head into a hole Where the whole world sees your charity case by Giving you a home, but you're still sick And I know it People change, but you're a completely different person You'd hardly question, but you're hardly even worth it And I know you've done it All those rotten things you always talk about But all you're doing now Is showing all of us that you can't work it out Work it out Desperate times Call for the desperate phone calls But maybe after everything You'll cover the walls with the blood of the men you tried to turn to stone But you're all alone
5.
Devil Girl 04:38
She was just a baby Tangled up in the telephone Talking 'bout the way she moves From side to side, from room to room What could I do? I was chewing on my tongue Talking out loud 'bout your point of view About all I had was laid out in front of you [Break] I was staring at the television set You wanted my attention, and everything got broken But I tried to fix it I organized it, I tried to get it back, But I can't I never will Cause I'll never want it again And I'll have to accept that Devil girl You bitch and moan You act it out Like you don't know Like you don't know

Shaky Hands 06:00
We were looking for chemistry Sought after fire, I got what I wanted, you got it all too, You told us the bad news to seal the wound, I was busy running after you, and I mark it on paper And I left out the poetry, and all the fancy words you taught me, i was I was busy I was busy I was busy running after you I called it a clean cut But the hunger kept pulling me back, and I failed to relax Something told me we were never going back You called me a beggar And you left out the history, You were busy turning your back, turning your back Turning your back on me You felt sorry for my soggy lungs And all I did was blame it on the sun We were gonna die so young You felt sorry for my shaky hands I felt sorry for the panic attacks We were gonna die in love I saw the victim in you You saw it in me too I hardly knew you But I knew it wasn't you How you ruin the mood With the words that you choose I faked it all till the last drop of blood had been drained from the cut by the vampire inside you By the vampire inside of you (Busy running after you) You felt sorry for my soggy lungs And all I did was blame it on the sun We were gonna die so young You felt sorry for my shaky hands I felt sorry for the panic attacks We were gonna die in love But you've gone and torn it up So lay it all on me Louder than you have been I wanna make it happen I wanna make believe I wanna make it happen Buckle at your knees You buckle at your knees Quicker than you should be I wanna make you happy And I could tell you I could that I'm sorry But I'm never coming back again I was busy running after you But you've gone and torn it up I wanted you (You've gone and torn it up)

Smoke Alarm 04:48
I'm not as stupid as I once was Not gonna let you pull me backwards Been keeping tabs on your behavior Been keeping tabs on where you've been And you're pointing the finger and calling me selfish While I'm walking in circles, you're making me helpless And I can't provide all the color you need, So I'm taking my leave, And I'm breaking apart all the pieces of me that you wanted to keep And you could try and chase me But you're too busy complaining Complaining Far away, those days These days, I'm home instead Funny how it never made Never made a fucking difference I could try to talk it out but The smoke alarm is drowning out our voices And we were watching as they Burned down the neighborhood The took the children, they broke the windows They made an example of all of our kinfolk But when they break the door from the hinges, I'll be the first one kicking, but the last to let their hands around my throat. Their hands around my throat I'll be the first one kicking, but the last to let their hands around my throat. Their hands around my throat I'll be the first one kicking, but the last to let their hands around my throat. Their hands around my throat Far away, those days These days, I'm home instead Funny how it never made Never made a fucking difference And you could try and chase me But you're too busy complaining Complaining I'll be the first one kicking, but the last to let their hands around my throat. Their hands around my throat I'll be the first one kicking, but the last to let their hands around my throat. Their hands around my throat

Carbon Copy 07:18
Remember me Dismember me A carbon copy Built on disbelief I've lost my way Giving in to sympathy And in left standing in the midst of all the disarray It's complicated, disassemble all the broken parts, what's left of me Take what the fuck you need from me In between I suffocate on myself I fail to reciprocate our love the way that it felt I'm not as broken as I make my spirit out to be I detoxed from the medication, I learned to love the bad parts of me Cause I'm all I had I left Til I found heart that's big enough to fix my head It brought me back from the dead From my bitter end Don't waste your lungs I've already head enough You already came for blood And got what wanted from me I was only picture perfect from our friends behind the scenes But you never wanted me No, you never needed me Coward, selfish, inbetween Sorry fuck up, sour, selfish, inbetween Beyond the means Along the way, it bludgeoned me I'm a coward, but you're a wretched baby Looking for the easy road to self control And I may be irresponsible But I'm about to show my teeth Ill keep you safe from the sharks if it means the end of me I'm growing old I feel it all over my bones I'd sleep it off if could tell the ghosts To leave me alone I’d sleep it off, if I could tell these ghosts to leave me alone I wish they'd leave me alone I'm not as sick as I was But I'm still sick, I'm so fucking sick in my blood I'm still sick in my blood I'm still sick in my blood Blood

Saw god today Standing in the doorway of my home Came home today And I lost who I was and where I came from I don't wanna believe In anything than what's in front of me And I don't wanna concede But the answers so ideal, it gets the best of me Tryin to find an escape I'm carving a map on the bones that built my legs And you were only a trace Of the madness left that's yet to come and I'll keep calling you out As colors keep on running from your face Keeping only the part of me that suffers from this city laid to waste And I don't wanna let you take me over Cause I'm just about all I have left So I'll fall asleep, and talk about tomorrow When you'll only be a figment of yourself I saw right through you Ghost of lovers past Your friends and family never knew you like I do Holocausts breed better men Than the men that you've been dealing with But I swear I'm not the devil, babe, And god forbid you be the one to blame Well, God forbid you be the one to blame for anything God only knows I've been turning to stone Lately the silence has been killing me They've been watching me sleep Well, God only knows I've been turning to stone, and Lately the silence, it's been killing me Cause they've been watching me sleep And I don't wanna let you take me over Cause I'm just about all I have left So I'll fall asleep, and talk about tomorrow When you'll only be a figment of yourself

Bad Habits 03:58
Tear apart the paintings that I did when I was young Far before I fell apart, before you came for blood You were all it took to teach me how fear your loved ones And now I'm keeping out of touch And I may feel unimportant But at least I'm feeling something Tired of running, and I can't live my life that numb no more Try and kick all my bad habits But it broke down my defenses Left me spinning, stumble down the staircase, out the door I am not the creature painted in your picture books Nor am I the earthquake that destroyed your neighborhood Blame it on the cast away, but tidal waves are all the same, and you were always better off without me And I may feel unimportant But at least I'm feeling something Tired of running, and I can't live my life that numb no more Try and kick all my bad habits But it broke down my defenses Left me spinning, stumble down the staircase, out the door
12.
When I was young, I knew too much And never said enough I twisted my gut And I did it out of love Did we say enough? Are we begging for the future? Hoping something better comes along Hoping something better comes along Hoping something better comes along Hoping something better comes along [Break] Settle on down It's been a long time coming I wanna make you proud I wanna bring you the ocean I wanna bring you the ocean I wanna bring you the ocean I wanna make you proud I wanna bring you the ocean [Break] It's been a long time coming It's been a long time I wanna make you proud I wanna bring you the ocean Roll in the tide Light up my eyes

You're looking pretty miserable Ill, it's undeniable The conditions you live in, they’re deplorable You've got no place to call your own And they crawl under your skin Reinvent your failures, and remind you of your sins Leave behind the excess to the point of wearing thin All along you’re trying to forget where you've been Break apart what's left of you Tell the world what you've been through Talk is cheap, but so are the gestures in between We are all but alive, we are all but breathing You pretty little baby dressed in blue Share your love with nothing to lose You live through the abuse, after all they've done for you Make your mark in a picture perfect paramedic point of view You've got nothing to lose, they live their lives above you They don't mind if you're paralyzed with fear By the time they open their eyes You're the victim in disguise And you owe it to yourself to sever the ties, and live your own life Break apart what's left of you Tell the world what you've been through Talk is cheap, but so are the gestures in between We are all but alive, we are all but breathing Who are they to cast a fire to your name? You broke it off, you went overboard and you made yourself a cast away They're gonna love you all the same It was bound to carry out this way, you lit a torch above your family name They don't mind if you're paralyzed with fear By the time they open their eyes You're the victim in disguise And you owe it to yourself to sever the ties, and live your own life
