Lyrics: I never felt quite much at all from sitting here All the food crammed down my throat won’t last a tear The saving grace or silver lining isn’t clear And friends they say that help have all disappeared Well give me my accolade, let’s celebrate and sigh in great relief It’s over now, but somehow, the respite’s only brief For math is math and cash is cash, but my mind is undefined Its cry for more to further explore keeps me out of line Get back in your chair! It’s not unfair! We had to do this too But don’t you see to change right now would be better for both me and you Don’t condescend me, mangled mind! Your wisdom’s of no use! Just sit back down and close your mind, forget the golden goose! Son, don’t look at freedom’s light, it’ll get you cursed Don’t drown in responsibility to all but quench the thirst Even now you feel no meaning, crumbling by the world’s demeaning But look before you leap and hear the dead men weep Going nowhere and running thin with much to do and more to begin The reward is nothing because no one can win Going nowhere and running thin with much to do and more to begin The reward is nothing because no one can win Enjoy your trophy for participation

Day by Day 03:12
lyrics

We wake and sleep to the sound of death Burning holes in our ears so we can’t hear the breath The breath of a lover saying it’s not enough Or the breath of a friend saying it’s too tough Day by day the memories we don’t want to obtain Play through our minds on an incessant train (musical interlude) We work and we jerk to the sound of bones Crunching and munching under our new roads The roads to the past that never got fixed Or the roads to tomorrow that will never exist Day by day the memories we don’t want to keep Are contorted into preference so we don’t weep And nobody sees nobody hears Because it’s all pushed deep down The pain becomes to much to bear As nobody comes to care Our friends don’t really give a shit Until they’re hurt by loving spit They’re empty now, my insides Can’t anyone see? They’re empty now, my insides Please forgive me!

Dangerous Dancing 05:00
lyrics

We lie down on the bleachers on a Saturday night under the messy disorderly lights My hand in yours I scream out in fear because never have I been so near to something so raw, I see it now, the skin and the bone and the desk where I keel to the caw, The bellies of the crows in the nest are full of water Now we stand, oh wait, we’re sitting The music’s dumbed down and it’s way too fitting The people still dancing caught me glancing when the fun they we’re having turned into a blood bath Hey, I say to the boy next to me, do you think we could do anything Eventually I saw the dried up tears on his cheek and the red in his eyes that had not blinked and I felt raw, I feel it now, I don’t want to again but it’s best if I get it over with now, The war between thoughts and feelings is a battle outside the history books (x2) Now we stand, oh wait we’re sitting The music’s dumbed down and it’s way too fitting The people still dancing caught me glancing when the fun they were having turned into a blood bath We lie down on the bleachers on a Saturday night under the perfectly organized lights My hand in yours I shutter with dread because never have I been so close to someone so dead

Help, the internet's making me sick Help, the internet's making me sick Sedate me, I’m vomiting up content Sedate me, I can’t fall asleep Can I cry in your arms or are you too busy laughing at your sadness? Can I come by and talk to you or am I too sick to open my mouth? Crawling back into the pool with my friends Swipe left and right away I don’t want you anymore Help, there are butterflies in my stomach Help, an ad is blocking the way Help, I don’t know how I got here Help, it’s all because of you So crack me like an egg Open me up and look at my guts Is this what you wanted to see? Are you happy now? Just a second, I’m in the middle of something Can I have a minute to myself without your bickering? No Feed me Feed me Feed me Ok stop Alcoholism is so last decade Whoops almost dropped my phone Do I have a charger? It’s on the night stand with my Adderall and Prozac I need you to tell me something Are you listening? I need you to tell me something Can you hear me? Just please, tell me Do you know I feel like shit? Whenever I see you I cough and spit up blood out from my pit My bleeding heart leaks in front of you but your eyes are glazed and I’m crying out to you, no, any one! Please! Cut me, spill my guts Look at them and see This is why I can’t talk to you This is why I’m scared So cut me and see the blood See how dirty it is and how it makes me itch How it makes me hate myself How it makes me like you So cut me, spill my guts Look at them and see This is why I can’t talk to you This is why I’m scared So cut me and see the blood See how dirty it is and how it makes me itch How it makes me hate myself How it makes me like you So crack me like an egg Open me up and look at my guts Is this what you wanted to see? Are you happy now? I wanted to show you all along but I need you to tell me something Are you listening? I need you to tell me something Can you hear me? We never really knew each other We never really knew each other We never really knew each other did we?

Friend Vs Lover (Sorry) 05:39
lyrics

Everybody likes the taste Everybody likes your face Who doesn’t know your name Who doesn’t know your fame My friends go crush on me But I keep crushing on you I need to stop thinking about me I can’t keep thinking about you Every time I see a tear in your eye I wanna wipe it away I don’t want you to cry Every time I hear you shouting at me I wanna cry it away But I push it down deep What’s the point, If you don’t even love me What’s the point, If you don’t even let me be What’s the point in investing my time if all I ever get is laughter from behind Everybody likes the taste Everybody likes your face Who doesn’t know your name Who doesn’t know your fame My friends go crush on me But I keep crushing on you I need to stop thinking about me I can’t keep thinking about you You’re in great pain Because you can’t be my friend anymore You’re going insane Because I’m killing you, slamming the door Everybody likes the taste But nobody sees your guts Who doesn’t know your name But who really knows how to play your game You don’t want to realize That your covering your own eyes You’ve hid it but I’ve found it Your heart beats out of time Why can’t anyone be like me Why can’t anyone hear me scream I try and I try but I always end up crying You’ve died so I cried because I never got the chance to say hi What’s the difference between friend and lover One destroys you and one gives you cover But what becomes of a friend that’s a lover Your mad at me because I’ve shut the door Now you can’t talk to me anymore What’s the point in being your friend if all you do is prepare for the end Every time I see you enjoying yourself Something inside breaks I’m alive How do I know who’s really true Do I really like either of you

Where Do I Go from Here? 04:16
lyrics

Where do I go? Where do I go from here? I found out you don’t love me, And I want to disappear Where do I go? Where do I go from here? I lost my sense of accomplishment, And I'm drowning in fear The fear that I’ll never let it go, The fear that somehow I don’t really know If I want to keep being your friend, And keep feeling this pain I want it so bad it hurts, I want to be in your arms, I want to look forward to you Instead of dreading the mornings I can’t say hello Sometimes I cry when I shouldn’t, Someday I’ll die when I shouldn’t, But right now I’m dying for you, And tomorrow I’ll tell the truth... ...to you (synth solo) Where do I go? Where do I go from here? Doubt and confusion are chipping away at my last bit of confidence Where do I go? Where do I go from here? Villain, stay back the imposter is here and he’s ready to leave The worst part of it all Is that it isn’t your fault at all, And that your probably oblivious to all my thoughts and feelings so I hope when I share them you’ll find some appealing I want it so bad it hurts, I want to be in your arms, I want to look forward to you Instead of dreading the mornings I can’t say hello Sometimes I cry when I shouldn’t, Someday I’ll die when I shouldn’t, But right now I’m dying for you, And tomorrow I’ll tell the truth to you Maybe I’ll just go Anywhere but here, I’ll find someplace To breath in some fresh air Ohhhhh-Ohhhhh-AhOhhh-Ahhhhh Ohhhhh-Ohhhhh Ohhhhh-Ohhhhh-Ahhhhh-Oh-Oh
