Therapy 01:47
lyrics
I've had a string of short term, long term Ended sure things Before I gave them a chance Stood up, stand out Put yourself out there How can you love If you don't ghost the past I get anxious at the thought of Someone touching you So I'll bury myself until I can't define The difference between Paying for your time Paying for your time Paying for your

Less Important Than Sex 04:05
lyrics
A lease requires a side of giving But you just hang yourself out to dry Ask yourself is that worth living Or giving up is that just your style Hard to believe you met your maker Your imagination cut from cloth Its hard to think that they'd be fakin' Something that would get you off Something that would get you off Something that would get you off Don't beat yourself up 'Cause it's only living And living is dying Right from the beginning Safe to say I've hit rock bottom That codependent fashion tie Did you like the last four years? You bought them Boredom pet project gone awry Lacking that communication Needed to correct the course I put up with your inclinations You put the cart before the horse Put the cart before the horse Put the cart before the horse Don't beat yourself up 'Cause it's only living And living is dying Right from the beginning If you're wondering, I'm at the bottom Holding out to hear you sing But you're already moving on now So I doubt you're wondering Must be nice to care so little The house is empty, no difference At least I've come to terms with being Much less important than sex

Crushed 04:21
lyrics
What's worse than calling You'll lose sight if you're staring at the sun There's no sense in asking If that's all you ever intend to do I used to write out Long, unspoken bonds And played it off like A romantic crush But it's so hard to love If it's already given away Crushed I am torn I can't write a letter But you Can keep Up with me If you're tired And ignored And you breathe electronically Take three Maybe four Steps from the screen I've refused To fix these broken bones What's old, what's new I'd spend, I'd save But I can't fix you No, I can't fix you What's worse than calling You'll lose sight if you're staring at the sun There's no sense in asking If that's all you ever intend to do I used to write out Long, unspoken bonds And played it off like A romantic crush But it's so hard to love If it's already given away I've refused To fix these broken bones What's old, what's new I'd spend, I'd save But I can't fix you No, I can't fix you No, I can't

White Flag 04:18
lyrics
Mask of glitter and gold And all of the fabulous things I'm off to do  It's crass And it's gotten old But never a day have you walked in my shoes  It's done And it has become Something that brings me to my knees in pain It's done And I have become An echo of every word I ever sang Cut the cord and jump overboard  Cut the cord and jump over Mistakes Fall to heartbreak But my life has taught me to crush what I've made  You'll break How long will it take And I cant stop pretending I'll drag this lake  It's love A push and a shove But all that I wanted was your softer side My love Well I was haunted But all that you wanted was a steady tide Cut the cord and jump overboard  Cut the cord and jump over Throw me a line Don't let me go I keep on reaching out for you But I never seem to know  If you'll write back to me Or leaden my shoes And leave me drowning at the bottom of the sea  It's war You're settling scores And each time it reopens you slam the door What for Were you feeling bored Or maybe you wanted to tower and lord I'll cave When all that you gave Is slipping away And I can't hold my grip I caved White flag has been waved You've finally sunken my last battleship Cut the cord and jump overboard  Cut the cord and jump over Throw me a line Don't let me go I keep on reaching out for you But I never seem to know  If you'll write back to me Or leaden my shoes And leave me drowning at the bottom I'm drowning at the bottom I'm drowning at the bottom of the sea

Flashlight 03:46
lyrics
I'll give you a view if you want one You're clumsy and needed a reason to breathe It's hard to believe you've forgotten Scratch the surface until you can see them bleed It's a coat when you're already warm When you're laying in bed, back covered in sores Not surprised, but alarming confusion You're lovely, but needed a reason to leave It's hard the believe you've forgotten Not a voice Not a choice If you can't use it I've got my eye on your gun I'm coming back You're coming undone Now you're the untouchable one I'll turn that flashlight into the sun Now that you've had your fun I'm coming back, you're coming undone Now I'm the untouchable one I'll turn that flashlight into the sun Minds battered and bruised, but that's hidden You're hungry and needed a reason to feed You'll never acquaint satisfaction For all I'm concerned I hope you Starve To Death I've got my eye on your gun I'm coming back You're coming undone You're the untouchable one I'll turn that flashlight into the sun Now that you've had your fun I'm coming back, you're coming undone And I'm the untouchable one I'll turn that flashlight into the sun

Paranoia Agent 04:53
lyrics
What started as tongue-in-cheek Left you in stitches Now I've got the gold bat Rags to riches I've got to know That there is a better word of I've got to know Is that your best excuse For what you call love What you call Unsettling stories told With room to wonder My skeletons crawl back To pull me under I've got to know That there is a better word of I've got to know Is that your best excuse For what you call love What you call Is that the hill you choose to die on, your self-awareness coming back and undone

1717 04:28
lyrics
I sit in wintertime with all the windows down And then I wonder why I feel so cold Dressed to the nine, but I am skin and bones I really feel I'll die before I'm old  And I recognize All my secondhand lovers Had no chance to prove themselves I reconciled My burning bridges, pick up the pieces Put 'em on a shelf  It's been three whole nights Since I have left my room This socializing wrecks my comfort zone  When this worlds too bright for my vampire eyes My self-inflicted loneliness is home And I recognize All my secondhand lovers Had no chance to prove themselves And I reconciled My burning bridges, pick up the pieces Put 'em on a shelf   And I recognize All my secondhand lovers had no chance To prove themselves I reconciled My burning bridges, pick up the pieces Put them on a shelf  To meet the aching gaze of me, my dog and no one else And no one else No one Else

Dark Sunglasses 05:32
lyrics
I've Been wearing Dark sunglasses To Hide behind The fact that I am Over You And that's a lie I'm so good at Fooling myself And you were good at Pulling through hell And showing me that I could love still I could love still I could love still Today feels a little bit more like Tokyo But it's a mockery To my memory That I would have to go back And lose myself Just to find myself But the irony Is I didn't leave I just hid among yoshino I've Been wearing Dark sunglasses To Hide behind The fact that I am Over You And that's a lie I'm so good at Fooling myself And you were good at Pulling through hell And showing me that I could love still I swear I'm Juliet to your Romeo But this poisoning Isn't functioning It's waking things inside me This gesture's not enough to fill my cup Time speaks to me With humanity But I shove it out the window I've Been wearing Dark sunglasses To Hide behind The fact that I am Over You And that's a lie I'm so good at Fooling myself And you were good at Pulling through hell And showing me that I could love still I could love still

Everything in Time 04:56
lyrics
Everything in time I needed a job The rent was due The lights were off I told myself Amongst the weeds Let go of wants Let go of needs I'm only living when the words start coming I'm only singing when a sad song carries a tune I'd give it all, but I've got nothing But sad songs that were made for me and you I'm only living when the words start coming I'm only singing when a sad song carries a tune I'd give it all, but I've got nothing But sad songs that were made for me and you Timing my breathing So I can swim through the sea Anxiety-ridden Along with the beat It's a casual complexity An every day sense of the world Repetitive entropy Cliched contradictions Admire the beauty But throw out the keys Chalking the outline Of personal needs I apologize That I couldn't be The best version of myself Until I was lonely I apologize That I couldn't be The best version of myself Until I was lonely I'm only living when the words start coming I'm only singing when a sad song carries a tune I'd give it all, but I've got nothing But sad songs that were made for me and you I'm only living when the words start coming I'm only singing when a sad song carries a tune I'd give it all, but I've got nothing But sad songs that were made for me and you I'm only living when the words start coming I'm only singing when a sad song carries a tune I'd give it all, but I've got nothing But sad songs that were made for me and you
