No. 3 03:48
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
2.
Self Service 01:44
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
3.
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 03:39
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
5.
U-Decide 03:51
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
6.
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

Caged Heart 03:28
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?
8.
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 03:11
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
11.
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
12.
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
