You bit off more than you could chew
Now you’ll choke, turn a shade of blue
Those gilded years, yeah they were gold
And like rust you’re getting old
Shaking hands with Mr. Suchandsuch
Our bones turn brittle at the touch
Oh, the pleasure it is ours
Where do I sign to be a star?
Well what did you expect?
I think I know how it ends
Though my idols may be dead
They’re alive and well in my head
It doesn’t seem like I’ve matured
Things are losing their allure
I don’t pick up on social cues
If there’s a fire I’m the fuse
I appreciate all the advice
But our time’s up, it’s been nice
Well what did you expect?
I think I know how it ends

Self Service

A victim to the self
Subservient to no one else
I may be dumb but I’m free
You only take what I do not need
I saw my name in the Times
All printed in black and white
Is compassion such a crime?
Yeah
Our impoverished wealth
The main concern being corporate health
Another daily dose
So leech away, I'll be your host
I saw my name in the Times
All printed in black and white
Is compassion such a crime?
Yeah

Not Broken
02:10
|

Collapsing on the floor
Making like a tree
The dream you can’t abort
Don’t justify the means
I’m not broken
I’m not broken
I’m not broken
I’m not
She thinks that she’s a saint
Making history
But I’m peeling back the paint
Because it’s all I see
I’m not broken
I’m not broken
I’m not broken
I’m not

Parachute

There you go off running your mouth
About things you know nothing about
Feelings I left buried beneath
A pile of clothes that I’d never need
Swaying back and forth between
What I’d hoped wasn’t deceit
Praying that I was a rose
With thorns that wouldn’t cut too deep
Our time, well it was short and sweet
I still get chills just at the thought
How both of us hung by a shroud
But we just never spoke aloud
It’s funny how all we do is dream
And spend half our lives asleep
Now I’m just laughing to myself
It’s my only safety belt
So you’ll try to go the distance
Don’t forget to drop me a line
No matter how far you get
It’s funny how all we do is dream
And spend half our lives asleep
Now I’m just laughing to myself
It’s my only safety belt

U-Decide

Gone are the days of sulking
There just isn’t any time
Tap into new dimensions
That’s something I can get behind
My love for you is like poison
Dissatisfaction’s guaranteed
I’ve got no self-assurance
I spent it all on policy
I won’t let you decide
Won’t let you decide
I won’t let you decide
What’s best for me
If I’m ever pushing 30
Then I guess I’ll be just fine
Even though the road looks bumpy
Odds are I’ve read the signs
I won’t let you decide
Won’t let you decide
I won’t let you decide
What’s best for me

Rosa
03:14

Amongst everyone in this town
The only name that’s spoke aloud
Held in the arms of summer
It’s the girl that we love
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Though she never feels at home
She’s the victim no one knows
Held in the arms of winter
Was the girl that we loved
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
The room was lit with shock
When they found the source of fault
Held in the arms of a mother
Is the girl she still loves
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa
Rosa, Rosa, Rosa Rosa

Getting wasted at your expense
It’s not really worth it
The truth always gets so bent
You should get your eyes checked
You’re right…yeah right!
Reaching for the hour hand
Always in slow motion
Feeling like a grain of sand
Underneath the ocean
You’re right…yeah right!
Rotate the crops
My heart's a cop
When I’m under arrest
Pleading the fifth
In my defense
When my will is tested
Silver linings of a clouded mind
Drowned out by thunder
From the lightning in my spine
I can’t help but shudder
You’re right…yeah right!
Rotate the crops
My heart's a cop
When I’m under arrest
Pleading the fifth
In my defense
When my will is tested
Let’s wait and see
If it's a scheme
Another desperate measure
We’re in the clear
Our ride is here
Can we keep it together?

Crazy Glue
03:15

There's no use in feeling useless
This pursuit is proving fruitless
Spending every waking hour
Trying to turn dirt into a flower
Take a rest while you’re arrested
Take a guess then second-guess it
I think I’ll have to take a rain check
Watch it bounce, that's what I expect
When you split in two
We can use some glue
I will gladly wait
Until you’re good as new
When I stand, I stand corrected
The truth’s always undetected
Give me something to believe in
Anything to stop this dreaming
When you split in two
We can use some glue
I will gladly wait
Until you’re good as new
Every now and then
Have a change of plan
It isn’t difficult
To understand

Tint

Paint yourself any way you want
By the way your ink running out
Crack your shell, you know that you can’t hide
Hideaway inside this crowded room
This is where opposites align
Wait for the medics to arrive
To recollect our scattered thoughts
In terms of words I’m at a loss
Gather around, join the assembly
This conversation is without a point
So simmer down, I don’t need your sympathy
It’s an illustration of pseudo-imagery
This is where opposites align
Wait for the medics to arrive
To recollect our scattered thoughts
In terms of words, I’m at a loss
The fraction left before you disappear
It’s what staring you down inside the mirror
This is where opposites align
Wait for the medics to arrive
To recollect our scattered thoughts
In terms of words I’m at a loss

Unreasonable
04:38

Do we really ever know
Where we go when we go?
I didn’t mean to interrupt
It's just that the room has come full circle
The laughter’s roaring in my head
At the thoughts that I’m ashamed of
They say, “Why don’t you stick around?”
While my eyes are glued to the ground
I breathe in, I breathe out, I look up and walk out
I breathe in, I breathe out, I look up and walk out
The laughter’s roaring in my head
At the thoughts that I’m ashamed of
I’ve lost my faith for a good reason
It all just seems so very pointless
Here comes the man of the hour
Only to find that he was too late

Charm Bracelet

This moment is a flower
Carefully picked
From out of the shards
Caught way off guard
Pleasant dreams
Now that you're here
The cradling of arms
Protect me from harm
Too young to speak
A charming deceit
Pleasant dreams
Now that you're here
Eventually you’ll see light
Opposites will intertwine
The moment will soon arise
Before you know
Now forming routines
Seasons, they repeat
Here come the larks
Descendants of stars
Pleasant dreams
Now that you're here
Eventually you’ll see light
Opposites will intertwine
The moment will soon arise
Before you know

I'll See You Again
04:32
|
|||
The faces that you used to know
Don’t remember you, they only see right through
The places that you used to go
Do not feel the same, like a change of name
Will I see you again? I’ll see you again
Will I see you again? I’ll see you again
Will I see you again? I’ll see you again
But time won’t recall your forgotten words
Take a walk down the stairs
The spiral never ends, the eternal descent
You are the ghost of yourself
Every now and then, so just rest your head
Will I see you again? I’ll see you again
Will I see you again? I’ll see you again
Will I see you again? I’ll see you again
But time won’t recall your forgotten words
No one can tell me why
You can’t belong
So let’s just settle this here
Once and for all
