What Now
03:13
|

Forward to a fault
Cringe a calling card
Is it alright?
Here are all my parts
Keep me modest
Drown the seeds I've sown
Make it on my own
Is it alright?
Find myself alone
At least I'm honest
I'm worried that maybe I'm not sorry
Ego, it'll grow
I'm worried that maybe I'm not crazy
Pseudo sideshow
I dole it out
What comes around goes around
Don't call me out
I'll take your pity, make a crown
I'm left wondering, "What now?"
The weight of it's crushing
What now?
Create me for you, I made me myself
The monster it moves, it's horrible
If this is the truth, it's lies that I'll tell
Wounds no one can soothe, it's awful

Quiet
03:28
|
|||
Graves are commas, say you'll stay
Trapped between walls and doorways
Death is quiet, stay afraid
Silent shadows swear they've changed
You fall, you're falling apart
Dismantling your castle of cards
Stand tall, you're towering now
You're teetering too far above ground
You call, you're calling it art
We grieve for you, come back down
Redesigned, here I am
How long will you run from it?
How long will you be someone I love?
I don't know why you hold on for dear life
Your knuckles red and white
Move me or don't
Use me, you won't
I've seen what becomes of men like you
Mirrors and smoke
Swallow, you choke
Lie through gleaming teeth, it sounds so true

Be Small
02:54
|
|||
Brace for the cold
And I am shielding myself from time
Soon you will see that I can not be sorry
Be still and be small, we hide
No light at all, another shadow in the night
Don't right your past wrongs, deny
And after all, the dead don't apologize
Draw us to the light but still we hide in plain sight
Keep you here
I'll surround you with limbs when you weep
Crawl inside me
Keep you here

Cave In
03:36
|
|||
Cave in, draw claws, break skin
Tailspin, confess your sin
Do your words all belong to me?
Bury you so I set you free
Things break
Hearts ache
When you take
I won't say it again
Drowning, bow down, give in
Thick skinned, head high, jaw clenched
Beat it back, call its name
Fade to black, fan the flame
It will never be the same
You take and you take
We can't go on this way
You take and you take

Ruined
03:16
|
|||
Are you drifting away again?
Are you lusting after an end, a bitter end?
Are you pulling on threads to mend?
Pulled apart to begin again
Who will I be?
For your sanity
A portrait of me
Who will I be?
My own family
My own pharmacy
It's all ruined
It won't connect
You broke, I knew it
Up in smoke, covered in spit
Just leave, screw it
My noose around your neck
Go on, save me
Make me sorry again
You create me, break me
Turn me to sand
Get over, through it
Words I wrote but won't admit
No hope, we lose it
We choke

Don't Reach
03:07
|
|||
I will admit nothing
Am I seething, starting something?
Were you too eager, too trusting?
Pay my compliments, you're blushing
Don't reach out unless I'm under control
Kind and cruel, fool's gold
I'll be so cold
Boil or breathe
Smile or seethe
Can you lead, control me?
Peace you keep, dead and buried
Can we work it out?
Lay your baggage down
Take it easy now
Sleep six under ground
Can't keep up, so keep on running
My chin's up, so keep it coming

Way Out
03:55
|
|||
All my numbered demands
Holding hostage broken romance
Trade give for take for my own sake
All this blood on my hands
Clean it up in my head
An eye for an eye, now we're both blind
If I were you I'd keep searching for a way out
If I were you I'd swallow your pride and put me down
Keep your ear to the ground
Feel all your teeth grinding, all the gears winding
Is my time running out?
I'll medicate myself, die until I'm well
Don't let me down
Keep tracing it 'round, but don't let me down
If I were you I'd find a way out
If I were you I'd put me down
Scatter me like a seed
Scatter me and I'll be good
Bury me, I wish you would
Let me go and I'll be good
Set me free, I wish you would
Turn away and I'll be good
Burn it down, somebody should
I'll decay but I'll be good
Put me down, I wish you would
Color me black and green
Color me and I'll be good
Cease to be, I wish I would
