Fess up
To your crime which is your addiction
Your luck
Will run out soon
(When will u learn?)
Something drips out my mouth
I know it’s there but it makes no sound
(No sound!)
Come on Mary,
No ones watching
Lets burn it all down
I rlly didn’t mean to steal ur face
I just wanna get people out
I rlly didn’t mean to take ur place
I just wanna get u out!
but maybe if I can keep up this pace...
The rest will just slow down!
But maybe if I can stay in this race...
the wrld will just slow down
down
out
down
out
Deep in the mud
There’s a serpentine tug
And it knows just when to let you go
When to pull you in and let you go
When one of 4 is forced to row
The arms move faster than the boat
I rlly didn’t mean to steal ur face
I just wanna get people out
I rlly didn’t mean to take ur place
I just wanna get u out!
but maybe if I can keep up this pace...
The rest will just slow down!
But maybe if I can stay in this race...
the wrld will just slow down
down
out
down
out

I don’t have to explain
Why i sing in the rain
Sadness is hard to feign
So I’d rather abstain
And on that fateful day
When Augustine makes
Way for me and
My mistake of a life
I’ll be one of a kind
With my happy new eyes
I’ll be one of a kind
Fill in the blank and open the door
Hide in the bathroom and cry some more
What I don’t know will kill me for sure
So stop asking questions searching for cures
Surely I’ll be fine
I know I’ll survive
I’ll break out of these chains
Then I’ll be beggin for change
But I’ll just smile thru the pain
By painting one on my face
Then I will die alone and thirsty
In Toronto or mid city
Splayed out on the bluish concrete
Too tough to cry
With my happy new eyes
I’ll be one of a kind
Fill in the blank and open the door
Hide in the bathroom and cry some more
What I don’t know will kill me for sure
So stop asking questions searching for cures
I think I’ll be fine
Look at the sky and try to lay down
Sit in your room and feel like a clown
I like to think it’s not plain to see
That I only see what’s in front of me
Surely I’ll be fine
I know I’ll survive
(Survive!)
(Yeah!..)

Back on the swing
I realized
That Im not mean tot do a thing
That I’m not designed to do a thing at all
But I do
But I do
Sometimes I start freaking out
And I don’t know what else to do
But scream into the empty void
The place I know I should avoid
Back on the swing
I realize
That I need to thank you
For being such a mess
For opting not to change
You stay the same
But I know
That egg will never hatch
You’ll always be this way
So read the stage
Back on the swing
I realize
That I can’t be the only one
Who knows that I’m not the only one who cares
About you
About you
Sometimes I feel so alive
That I can’t feel from either side
And I caught beneath the waves
They wash me out and rearrange
Back on the swing
I realize
That I need to thank you
For being such a mess
For opting not to change
You stay the same
But I know
That egg will never hatch
You’ll always be this way
So leave the stage
I wish I could help you

space between you
And the sky
Please return me
From the light
We’ll make you pay for
Your mistakes
On my wheelhouse
You must stay
You must be trying
To piss me off
Inside my bedroom
I recall
LED lights inside your bones
They keep on glowing as you grow
Taller and taller oh so high
People are blinded by the light
Space between me
And the sky
Feel the tears well
In your eyes
Don’t make me hurt you
Don’t make me hurt
Me and the devil
Play all night
Smiling and waving
He’s alright
Something compels me
To shake his hand
It was a handshake
That was it
Don’t make me love you
Don’t make me love
Everyday
I wake up And say
I could die Today
I would be ok

don’t kill me I’m golden
Don’t touch me I’m golden
Don’t look in the mirror
You’ll see much clearer
Whatchu rlly wanted
Watchu rlly needed
Was something you could never have
Something u could never grasp
They don’t know that I’m golden
They don’t see that I’m golden
They think I’m gonna screw up
But I’m not gonna screw up
I just wanna kick the ball
I just wanna kick the goal
I just wanna get the goal
I just wanna get the goals
Oh temptation
Oh temptation
Yeah temptation
Yeah temptation
Let yourself into my heart

what we are (not!!)
03:14

Kissing the bone
Won’t make it feel much better
Talk on the phone
To your dead grandmother
Why does your face look like mine?
Why do you seem so resigned?
We can’t be much more than what we are
We can be much more than what we aren’t
Trapped between the ground and all the stars
Dancing constellations in the dark
Say what you want
I’m the last one standing
Pull all your stunts
Will you stick the landing
When you can’t get what you want
Do you cry or blame it one the sun?
We can be the first to cross the bar
To sift through all the desert for a start
I don’t see the point of looking back
No I don’t see the point in looking back
We can’t be much more than what we are (it’s alright)
We can be much more than what we aren’t (for the good of the people!)
Trapped between the ground and all the stars (you flounder)
Dancing constellations in the dark (Orion!)
I once knew a man who had daisies for fingers
He played in the sun for hours and hours
The fingers grew out and became the leaves
His stomach caved inward replaced with a tree
I lay by his side and ask if he’s dying
He says that he’s “fine” he’s “given up trying.
We all go away. we all go someday.
We all have to say we have nothing to say.”

addicted to guilt

Held grudges
Bubblin up
From when you can’t recall
Why would you want to recall
You’re standing in the water
You’re looking at the ground
You’re being such a bummer
Nobody wants you around
So get out of the car
I am not a king or queen
And I am not your majesty
And I hold no grudges
And I have no regrets
You know that it’s pointless to
Point fingers at the deaf and dumb
You’re looking like your evil
And I’m placing my bets
New faces
Hovering round
They ask if you’re listening
Or what you’re listening to
It’s almost like you’re floating
Like you’re leaving the ground
For a chance at something better
Or maybe you’re just falling down
Just get out of the car
I am not a king or queen
And I am not your majesty
And I hold no grudges
(u know I hold no grudges)
And I have no regrets
(No regrets)
You know that it’s pointless to
Point fingers at the deaf and dumb
You’re looking like your evil
(You’re looking oh so evil)
And I’m placing my bets
(place my bets)
I am addicted to guilt
(I know)

It’s over
To naked eyes
It’s part of my disguise
It’s lonely
In this body
Too bad that no one can see
Me go home
To screaming and fighting
so please shut up
It’s nothing
it’s nothing
It’s better
For you to die
Instead of rolling dice
Return me
To open sky
The wind will treat me right
I go home
To screaming and fighting
You’ve said enough
You’re nothing
you’re nothing
Is it too late to forget myself?
Is it too late to forget?

I don’t think that there’s a god
I just think there’s restless people
I don’t know the how or why
I just know that I will die
And u can find peace in that
Or u can’t
It don’t matter in the end
All things go with marching time
And you can be something new
Something good
Something better once again
Just a point along the line
Ever onward
I don’t think there’s a place
Where I can go to rest my face
Maybe I should quit the race
Instead of tripping over myself
But I know exactly how to feel
I know that I wont ever kneel
And that I won’t live forever
I see ur lies pile up so high
I hear you curse me from the sky
And I curse you back all the same
And u can find peace in that
Or u can’t
It don’t matter in the end
All things go with marching time
And you can be something new
Something good
Something better once again
Just a point along the line
Ever onward
Is it too late to forget myself
To forget myself
To forget myself
It is too late to forget myself
To forget myself
To forget myself
Yet I cannot help but be myself
But to be myself
But to be myself
After all I’m left with just myself
I am just myself
I am just myself

It can be hard
To accept it’s a lie
Your escape isn’t real
Just a black and blue seal
When the truth isn’t clear
And you’re trapped in your fear
It can seem like a waste
You can feel so misplaced
Airplanes aren’t some
Signal from the
Californian cults
You can’t be
Feeding the birds
While people observe
Nothing was made for you
But things deserve to be something made for you
for you
Airplanes aren’t some
Signal from the
Californian cults
You can’t be
Feeding the birds
While people observe
Nothing was made for you
But things deserve to be something made for you
for you
