Anodyne 01:43
I’m afraid and you’re afraid and we’re all afraid If I could choose, I’d like to loose, I don’t want to choose It’s serene and far between, you don’t have to dream I’m afraid and you’re afraid and you’re afraid and… We’re no better off this time around You’re my prison, I’m bolted to the ground While you spin me around (x3) It’s hard to say I don’t want to waste my endorphins It’s not you, it’s me, I’ve got a bad attitude I think you’re great, I like you a lot, but it’ll never work Don’t you say, I just wanna save my aspirin

Am I broken? Well I don’t know I don’t know Could I feel like someone else? I don’t know Are you still alone? Should I go? I don’t know Paint thinner is my beverage of choice Oh no, I know Oh no, I know Oh no, I know You don't Cut my parachute unafraid Unafraid Why do I hate my face? Unafraid Human interaction’s a joke Such a joke My sex life is more of a sex death Oh no, I know I know, I know I know what I know I know you don't Shame is a guarantee Faith’s uncertainty Pain is a guarantee Where is the grass green? I don’t know I don’t know That line was so cliché What a joke Am I broken? Well I don’t know I suppose Paint thinner is my beverage of choice Oh no I know Oh no I know I know what I don't I do, I don't Oh no I know Oh no I know Yes and no I don’t Let’s go Don’t go Let it go Death row Oh no Let it flow It’s flowing Overflowing

Enemy 02:53
Into the flame You're all around the moon Too sick for shame Slipping out of tune You’ll be the enemy, yeah I’m trying so hard not to fall asleep Cause you won’t awake when they’re after you You’ll be the enemy yeah You’ll be the enemy yeah I’m gonna fake this It’ll make you famous The hearts you’re breaking It’ll make you famous We don’t have to talk Let’s pretend we don’t exist I’m numb from shock And I don’t need a fix You’ll be the enemy, yeah So in love with hate I’m still shivering Don’t turn the page I know how the story goes You’ll be the enemy, yeah You’ll be the enemy, yeah It will never work So take a turn All this fake concern Will never soothe these burns
5.
He’s afraid of what he’s written He’s in love with what he hated Your suspicion fills the hole in my heart Uncontrolled in demolition Write your name on my petition mitigation fills the hole in my heart I can’t say cause it might hurt you Anarchy, yeah Latency, yeah Wait and see, yeah Painfully, yeah Big words in bits and pieces This entertainment is not weekly Dark matter fills the hole in my heart I don’t need an explanation I’m afraid of second opinions Johnnie Walker fills the hole in my heart And I swear I’m not a libra You’ll make the best of this situation This situation was fucked inside out We're all the same so just join us and vacate aborted our patience Afraid Afraid So Brave I suspect I am a suspect False belief in disbelieving Silly putty fills the hole in my heart The world’s directed at me Self-centered is a virtue Damnation fills the hole in my heart So proud to say I know you Anarchy, yeah Latency, yeah Wait and see, yeah Anarchy yeah

She don’t want to be enlightened She don’t need to fix her mood Black blanket over the window She don’t have an attitude But I might I'm okay, I turned off my caring If only I could shut off the lights I don’t need to be enlightened These sedatives won’t help me sleep tonight But they might I’m not lost with bad directions Had affection for infection Change is good, but it makes me nervous Spare change I found my purpose Drown Swim or drown Swim or drown Swim or drown She don’t want to pay her utilities She’s so pretty when she’s blue Black blanket over the window She don’t have an attitude But I might
7.
I could tell you but I won’t cause then it’s not a secret The way you leave alone emotionless just leaves me speechless You’re predictable and beautiful but straight as a bow Fell asleep and woke up in a daze of cold sweat and warm tears Spare me, Mary Don’t go ghost Scare me, Mary Please don’t go I’m sorry sir but I don’t have more seams for you to tear at So close to being happy but they didn’t give me a cigar I found a message in a bottle but the cork’s in too tight Congratulations you’re a winner you just guessed my pet peeve (Nonsense)
8.
It’s a pain to explain how I know I’m half concerned Get up and leave I wanna go Could it be that easy? Could it be that easy? He drew us out as stick figurines But that’s okay One dimension is all I need Could it be that easy? Could it be that easy? I have conversations with my pets But even they won’t talk to me Reset biological presets Empathy is sickening Breathe it in Breathe it in Bleed with him Bleed within God’s reasoning is stuck between Dumb and brilliant Prison is to free as free is to speech Could it be that simple? Could it be that simple?
9.
Pillbox Girl 03:10
Pillbox girl you make everything so very sweet Scattered my own ashes underneath the willow tree Pillbox girl I think that we would make a pretty pair Oh, to feel like I do… Please don’t leave me, I’m dependent and I care a lot Sickened paranoia the medication’s wearing off Pillbox girl can’t you write me one prescription more? Oh, to feel like I do… I’ll hallucinate until I breathe I’d rather be unconscious than asleep Pillbox girl make me so discrete
10.
It’s our anniversary In a dark infirmary I’m not trying to flee the scene God’s not going to save the queen Lower class and higher brain Here to keep us entertained Your supply is my demand If I cant have you no one can Watching your waist All our time And I know it’s out of line A slave to superstition I oppose your opposition Wasting your watch The paradigm And I know it’s out of line Genetic disposition I oppose your opposition Yeah Ill wind blew out all the fuses I love taking your abuses I’m so glad you’re doing well I’m so sad but hey, oh well The police academy copped out Square peg in a roundabout Lungs are black from secondhand If I cant have you no one can In a dark infirmary It's our anniversary
11.
Walking down the tracks of the L-train To see if I can find the end It’s reckless But at least I’m still curious I’m in love with patience I’m in love with patience I’m my own acquaintance I don’t need a friend I could cry, but I really don’t want to I’d rather just inhale instead Cause this abuse is so beautifully secretive Self-righteous sanction I used up our ration Healthy depreciation Manic depressive Cyanide will give you some peace of mind When you need to be alone But she’s got your photograph in a heart locket Lobotomy I want a lobotomy I'm in love with patience I'm in love with patience I'm my own acquaintance Inflammatory agents I don't need a friend
12.
Blooming, she can make it die Barely there to walk the stairs Unaware and tear She’s whispering Maybe now I’ll never know No one ever showed Hold onto me A lot of nothing to do while I’m following you sick and uneasy Returning my call is such a drag for you all You make me so sorry What was I supposed to do? I still can’t tell if this is real So throw me up to guess which way is down A month ago you promised me And now I guess I’ll never know you What was I supposed to do?
13.
Anti- 02:30
I’m anonymous to myself I’m learning to go alone I don’t need to be in good heath Cut me to the quick speed it up Hey Get out of my head Antihistamine anti-everything that they say She paints a lot of dark art It’s pretty to me like a spell I don’t have to breathe you can’t make me Antihistamine anti-everything that they say Pretending to be, she paints a lot of dark art It’s pretty to me like a spell You don’t have to breathe you can’t make me
14.
Monterry 02:31
The hope that you built wouldn’t get off the ground But the things that go up, don't always calm down You’ll have to wear a tight-fitted barbed-wire crown Everyone’s always opinionated Got turned around, ended up in Monterrey A ship gone off course in a sea of cabarets The jury reached no verdict on judgment day I feel I’ve already been here I cannot breathe or speak All I got is artificial relief Radiation burns, it’s none of your concern I had to move on, but it’s you I’m stuck on Still bleeding out, still bleeding out They say you faked a compassionate leave Got any more bullshit under your sleeve? Your conscience is more crooked than the web that you weave There’s never a sense of replacement My train of thought derailed from the tracks You say the sun’s shining but space is always black Pretty soon you’ll see that he ain't ever coming back You can’t say you don’t have it coming
15.
Nothing Land 03:07
On public transit to Nothing Land The kingdom's all one color People talk like the back of your hand Like they know shit about you Only wanting to doubt you It's a fatal flaw that doesn't die It's not hard to tell if your smile's real Cause you're an open book now There's an infinite crowd moving on your trail Passing different directions Oblivion's an infection It's a fatal flaw, let's keep it alive I talk in my sleep to answer my fucked up questions The ache that I keep, pretending to never go away It's the luck of the draw Maybe they just drew me wrong I'm good at killing my time, I guess I guess Peace of mind is a razor's edge That couldn't get much sharper Unless you live with a hollow head Just constantly falling Falling for such a long time now That you don't notice the wind anymore
16.
When the clock struck out Pages took a turn Fate blew a cloud Hide to freeze and burn fake mean hate mean my mind game arcade reapers fill my head We can make a trace We can make or break play mean hate mean you can see Hell inside his eyes plague me
