Teeth 03:49
She’s got something in her teeth And a cavern in her throat That spews out nonsense And I don’t think I could ever Find the words to change her mind So I won’t bother She’s got her hair up in a bun She’s kicked back out in the sun And I can’t help but be amazed by all That she accomplishes with just her gaze While I fumble and fall in the dark Waiting for a spark If she said something, gave that look A stutter and a cough Would you listen? She’s a hurricane And she’s got a tongue That could cut through steel And it runs… So tell me all your stories (Every last one!) I wanna hear them all And if it takes the whole night (We’ll just sleep in!) I want to hear them all

It’s that damn tunnel vision, it’s playing with your mind You think they’re all against you, they’d say you’re doing fine I can’t ease your suffering if you don’t ever talk about it And if the words sound harsh then baby don’t take it from me Just open up your eyes, take a look around and see You’ve got something that you’ve gotta fight to keep Where has your heart run off to? It up and disappeared You seem so far away, but you swear your mind is clear I can’t ease your suffering if you don’t even try anymore What would they know about it? They don’t understand Being alone, wondering why, pick up the phone Why even try?

Things have changed my dear and deep inside I’ve got this fear That there’s a canyon running between us, and it’s too wide to cross Tell me do you remember the way we were this time last September? I wasn’t at a loss for words, we didn’t cry every night Ooh I’m sorry the show is going late You’re sitting there all alone Don’t be mad if I’m not back by midnight I’m just killing time until my mind’s right I’m stuck here inside my head but my soul feels like lead So let me down like I let you down Oh it’s sad you see, you’re better off alone than with me Your realized greener pastures are what you needed to roam So you left and said goodbye, now all I do is sit around getting high Pretending the words you said were all just make believe

Amateur 03:35
What are you talking about, the same old things? Putting that attitude on with the claims that I don’t know anything Your tales of woe, telephones, and of conquest have no sway And broken bones no they don’t ever heal in quite the same way ‘Cause what you’re saying don’t make sense, and yeah it’s plain to see You’re just trying to pull one over on me What do you take me for? An amateur I’m sure Said I’ve heard it all before, here we go again Don’t take it personally, but I can see right through All those glares that you throw, you’d agree that this is long overdue And yeah it’s shitty, always shitty; I’m sorry but there’s no proof That the universe ever had it out for you

Last Night 03:40
Last night I tried my best to fall asleep without you next to me Last night I died, I choked, my lungs were filled with dust And coated in rust, a swarm of beetles ate my insides I tried singing her songs, but forgot the words, now I’ll never hear em again Baby, what’s wrong? Have I gone and fucked it up again? I’m guilty as sin, I want to change, I never will Wasting my time, living a lie, wanting to die Wait for her reply, sitting petrified “I’m not happy here” she said, “It’s clear - you’re never gonna get there going backwards” Laptop, cell phone, car keys And a suitcase by the door Tell me it’s no more, she made her mind up
7.
Groovy Grace 03:53
She’s sitting by the phone, staring at the ground all alone And as the clouds begin to gather over our heads, the rain starts to pour But it’s all okay, it’ll wash away every little thing that ruined her day You’re groovy baby She’s sitting on my bed, and I can’t make a sound nearly dead It’s in the greed and pride that leads to spite, Yeah I know, so I’m letting go, my ego And it’s not okay, those things they say, “just wait and see someday” You’re groovy baby You know we’re both still young figuring it out and falling all the time I wish I could go back and make things right but now I’m stuck down here Where time goes by so slow, so slow
8.
Pony 05:32
No one knows my name; I don’t exist, I disappear Looking down through the atmosphere Those tiny flaws don’t seem so out of place She makes me feel so solid When I’m floating away on a cloud But I can’t get up, it’s already started So wake me up when it’s all over I’m so far gone, I’ll deal with it when I’m sober And I’ll move on; you can’t even touch me I’m not even real, waho Come out and see the stars I’ll hold my breath while you cross your heart Promise me they’ll close their eyes And clap their hands once I play my part Ooh, sunshine coming down through the cracks In the ceiling where the rain gets in
9.
Rectangles 03:00
You believe every single word they say You think “the chemicals are turning the frogs gay”, The earth is heating up, and you’re back on that flat earth bullshit We’re sitting ducks here, running out of time We’re going nowhere, going nowhere fast
10.
I’ve got a reason to stay, baby I won’t ever stray I’ve been here by your side through the roll of the tide We’ve seen it all and now we turned out okay And the river keeps running on I’ve got a reason to stay, baby I won’t ever stray Just sit right here and drink your beer And I’ll make sure that everything is okay While the river keeps running on, y’all Can you feel it? I feel it too.... I can’t remember what it’s like being alone, anymore I’ve got this reason to be and man I’m feeling so free I’ve been low down, but now it’s all turned around She's got me winning, and sinning, and burning through my tree While the river keeps pressing on And if ya got an attitude Then boy I got some news for you Living ain’t easy, and you’re getting greedy Man I wouldn’t recommend it for you
11.
Eosophobia 04:54
Can’t sleep, been feeling hazy My mind will race, I’m out of place here Like I don’t belong Count sheep, hallucinating Anxiety, and other things Doc, everything feels wrong Morning comes with a feeling of dread The world’s alive and I’m feeling dead I can’t escape the dawn Time keeps moving on and on and on “You gotta fight before you get free” Pretty words are no use to me You’ve said these things before And I require more Where’s the promise when there’s no pain It’s like a fingernail picking at my brain “You’re young and in your prime, Just wasting all your time” Waking nightmares, there’s no heart There’s only silence, anger, and violence Tell me how you sleep at night When there’s a bloodstain right next to your name
