Interlude

Let's lay our hearts out underneath the light of the microscope
Blistering honesty is pain you’ve never known but now that you do
I think you kinda like it
Loosen up that noose around your neck
Give yourself a break
The view from the chandelier is never great
But that’s news to you
Peaks were high and the lows were low but overall things were well
Hoping my absence wasn’t a catalyst
You were just a kid I wish I could’ve seen myself

Clearly Don't

Oh well I have stopped believing in myself
And all of your wishes, were gone in the morning
I used to knock on this piece of wood and have to hope its real
But when complications come about resolving them isn’t my deal
Well the drink gave me fame, I gave it hatred
And all of your dishes were there for weeks on end
Well I know, I know, I know, you gotta suffer for a little bit of happiness
I'm so scared to leave you all alone when your defenses are so low
If it's alright can I get a little piece of mind
I know that you told me
I just didn’t know it was a warning
The evidence clearly shows
It clearly shows, it
Clearly shows, it
Clearly shows
I better give the past cause I know i'll be better off
So much less of this poison that's invading my system
Now I'll drown myself as you just dip your toes in
Im looking for a friend of mine to hear me out
It's just the season of it
If it's alright, get kicked in the teeth sometimes
I know that you notice, cause it’d be weird if you didn’t
But you clearly don’t
No you, clearly don't, no
Clearly don't you clearly don't , no no
Clearly don't, no you clearly don't
No you clearly don't
Clearly dont no no

Silly Girl

You.. wanted everything
But now you’ve got nothin’ at all
You’re just a silly girl
Drying out for the weekend
But now you find yourself drinkin’ again
You're just a silly girl
Well I try to say
Not to keep it all bottled up
You've gotta voice how you’re feeling
Cause in a week you will still just be a silly girl
Tie the knot
And make it look good
No need to revise because the mirror never lies to you
You’re just a silly girl
So I try to say not to keep it all bottled up
You’ve gotta voice how your feeling
Cause by now you will still just be a silly girl

All Alone

Were all alone in this world
How many days must it last?
I'm not opposed in being wrong
But I don’t feel like I killed anyone
Spin that web in the dark
And maybe they’ll notice you again
Maybe I was wrong
I'll believe in anything
No no don’t wanna try
To make it worse for you
Don’t wanna live like that
Just wanna understand what you
Should I say what’s on my mind
Even if it's something you won’t like
I can’t listen to your diatribe baby maybe you should step outside
Fresh air can do ya good
Plus there’s no getting through to you
Don’t wanna live like that
Just wanna understand
What you are going through
If I had my way
I would stay at home in private like I used to baby
I wouldn’t have it any other way
At home im safe from my own volition
Bad decisions. Keep me quiet, tie me down cause its good
Were all alone in this world how many days must it last
Were all alone in this world how many days must it last
Were all alone in this world how many days must it last
Alone in this world how many days must it last

A Beautiful Thing
04:20
|

Can I speak candidly or should I keep to myself?
I don’t know if I can lead another day living out my life for someone else
It's the love that I wear with care and it seems like it's always trying to keep me away
It's the love that I wear with care and I'm so scared to let you know that I know that I know it
Yes I know it yeah, yeah
Your mind was a beautiful thing it’d be a shame to lay it to waste
The notion will be the death of it all and I just don’t wanna get in the way
But the love that I wear with care it seems like it's always trying to get in the way
It's the love that I wear with care and I'm so scared to let you know that I know that I know it
Yes I know it yeah, yeah
Your mind was a beautiful thing it’d be a shame to lay it to waste
The notion will be the death of it all and I just don’t wanna get in the way
But the love that I wear with care it seems like it's always trying to keep me away
It's the love that I wear with care and I'm so scared to let you know that I know that I know it
Yes I know it yeah, yeah

For The Memories
04:29
|

Well If you wait, for me
We can talk after the company leaves
You won’t have to say goodbye
Just wait in the back
I wanna show you this old photograph I misplaced of you
Isn’t it cute?
How this old image tells such a story
The Pictures of you... for the memories
Well If you rush
And waste your time
Get a degree to tow that company line
Was it everything you thought that it would be? Or something else
I saw you for the first time I still don’t know what to make of you
What was the use?
Plastered down to a life that seems so boring?
The Pictures of you
For the memories... momentarily
You finally see
You... can finally see it
You... can finally see it
So I'll give in and let you lead the way
It felt so good to wake up and live another day
But when my head was in the ground
A 100 candles were around
I'm trying so hard to fight this feeling it is with you
A dark empty room
My arms are reaching out it's just getting hard to navigate
Through pictures of you
Falling and they break
Was it a mistake oh who knew?
You... can finally see it
You... can finally see it
You... can finally see it
You... can finally see it

Medicinal
02:51
|

|
Maybe I trust myself
A little more than I should
So I'll try walking away
To see if I even could
Well they say some things are better left unsaid
So tough to learn
With my foot in my mouth again
They wanna reconcile
To save that face
It may take a while
But that’s ok
When you burn every bridge you’ve ever had
Got no place to stay
Just your foot in your mouth again
Do I look stupid?
With my mouth to the floor
I’d suck the fuel from the ground
If only I knew it was medicinal
So sick of watching the paint
It never seems to dry
They wanna keep me away
Their prerogative to try
That's the price we pay for living in the States
Better watch what you say
You got your foot in your mouth again
Do I look stupid?
With my mouth to the floor
I’d suck the fuel from the ground
If only I knew it was medicinal

Beginners Love
04:19

I don't mean to be so rude to you
Beginners love I guess it’s all I can do
You better Keep me away, you better keep me at bay
Cause I think I love you
My first impression really blew me away
Working that job for just a minimum wage
There's something romantic about living that way I think I love you
Can't you see that ya have done something to me?
How can I forget like I did? Like I did
I woke up bayside, opened up my heart and I showed it to you
You showed me how to smile cure my decent I'm always amazed in the things you can do
I know that you lost yourself, wrapped around the axle
I don't think they ever meant to make you a fool
Now that time has passed do you still feel the same?
Working that job for just a minimum wage
You can't romanticize living that way, I think I love you
Can't you see that you have done something to me?
How can I forget like I did? Like I did

Formality
02:56
|
|||
|
People stare when you walk in the room
Chances are they're just scared of you
Not a fan so they call the police
No way to treat your family
Just a formality
Something to keep in mind
Just a formality
we shouldn't be so kind
My friends are scared about the ways things have been turning out
And so am I
I hide my face every time I come around
No one seems to mind
Are you mad at me?
Always on my mind
Just a formality
Something to keep in mind
