Suffer 03:24
get a grip take a sip get a hold of things get some rest take a breath can you think straight how do i face the facts when i'm flashing back from the moment you left to the first date maybe i'm a little obsessed or i'm a little possessed but my body's acting on its own and when i come to i find you screaming over the phone i wanna know that you're miserable you can't be invincible i wanna know this might be a mistake but jealousy is the only thing that's keeping me awake a total masochist i'm addicted i just keep digging myself deeper i love how the dirt feels around my throat read over all the things you wrote i just keep digging myself deeper and i swore you were a keeper i love how my name sounds on your throat read over all the things you wrote i just keep digging myself deeper i wanna know that you're miserable you cant be invincible i wanna know this might be a mistake but jealousy is the only thing that's keeping me awake a total masochist i'm addicted i could have been over this before but i would kill to see you suffer a little more i admit i'm a prick i'm addicted

Why, Though? 02:49
When I told you that it wouldn’t take you long Using words that fit inside your favorite song Would you be surprised when I take the ties and Cut em up cut em up every once in a while And I hope that you remember when We lost it all. Oh and let’s say that I’ll pretend To smile. We can retrace these steps back to when we fell apart (Fell Apart) Or we can catch a taxi cab back to the start. But don’t Tell me if you notice that we have gone too far You should already know it’s for the best When I told you that it wouldn’t take you long Using words that fit inside your favorite song And I hope that you remember when we lost it all. Oh and let’s say that ill pretend to smile when you’re gone To smile when you’re gone. We can retrace these steps back to when we fell apart (Fell Apart) Or we can catch a taxi cab back to the start. Tell me if you notice that we have gone too far You should already know it’s for the best. Another fork in the road Two separate paths for the two of us (the two of us) Sometimes these roads lead To the same dead end So when you’re drawing near You’ll find me standing here Under the streetlight I've been waiting all night (All night) Just to extend a hand to you

am i tripping i feel the clock ticking as i pace a trench into the carpet (consider this it's meaningless) to all the voices over mine i'm begging you to stop (they're not worth it) we're all so impatient yet patiently anticipating that knock you crash through my life like an ocean filled with emptiness death and erosion and our clothes fall like raindrops on the carpet am i sensing a cop out are you trying to walk out on me so how do we decide who deserves to be happy they're not worth it i'm locking the door you stare from the floor and ask me for more i'm locking the a killer smile that whispers beware so i move as if i'm in a nightmare now our bodies are twisting your eyelids are lifting do you see what i see no if i could just come on and clench my finger while it's resting on the trigger what am i waiting for maybe if i give it one more try you'll fall i'm locking the door you stare from the floor and ask me for more i'm locking the so come on and i'll clench my finger while it's resting on the trigger what am i waiting for maybe if i give it one more try you'll fall i'm locking the door you stare from the floor and ask me for more i'm locking the door and when i'm depressed this is what i do best but you're leaving i'm sure i'm locking the door we're on and off a killer smile that whispers beware so i move as if i'm in a nightmare

these bones may be old but my heart still beats it's too young to settle for a fleeting face she's a devil with exquisite taste i'm shocked and appalled at the way you can disappear at least twice a year' am i the only one you call home they'll put your face on my tombstone i'll be the city but i'd rather be the fog that suffocates and suffocates you it wont take long i'm so stationary and maybe that's what's convincing you to leave you always leave you can't just come back that's how the cycle flows maybe the next time you're in town i'll convince you to come around i said ill be the city but id rather be the fog that suffocates and suffocates you it wont take long now i'm no sanctuary and maybe that's what's convincing you to leave you always leave really?

A Souvenir 03:34
you know i'm always on your case and i wont shut up about being safe and i know you're probably scared to death when every step leads further through the unknown i'd never turn my back on my own if you remember anything when you're grown remember i'm so proud of you hey kid here's to you hey kid cheers yo you my body's aching breaking barely making it to the end of this journey that i took for you and eventually you'll see this gift to you from me is all you need by now you really wanna find your place in that trap known as the human race well here's how it's an upward climb now if you trip and fall through the stratosphere and you really need a parachute i'm here don't worry we'll ascend again who the hell do you think i am my body's aching breaking i'm barely making it to the end of this journey that i took for you and eventually you'll see this gift to you from me is all that you need

we're always sitting on the sidelines missing every single deadline break the skin and dive into your fears we spend each day saying are we gonna make it swallowed up in debt and then we celebrate it and now we're finding out maybe we don't have it all figured out cold hard cash your possessions and your pride what do you get to keep when you get across the great divide life has a bone to pick with you death has a job to do and it wont be easy it's the middle of the night i find myself in a cemetery and all of the residents curse me with envy put yourself in their shoes get a bit impromptu grab life by the collar and live it how you want to cold hard cash your possessions and your pride what do you get to keep when you get across the great divide life wants to teach you a thing or two death has an attitude take look in your own eyes and say leave it to me cold hard cash your possessions and your pride what do you get to keep when you get across the great divide
