I'm thinking I've sat here for too long I found this space and got lost Ain't it time to move on But I've got my eye on you Screw it We've got holes in our heads We’ve got room in our beds I make friends with the dead But I’ve got my eye on you We’re all the same living this way Ain't it a pain? I might as well stay I dreamt for the real but it went away Screw it I'll get by for the year I don’t need to be here It’s the waiting I fear But I've got my eye on you We’re all the same living this way Ain't it a pain? I might as well stay If this isn’t real I don’t like to admit how I feel But go on and try I’ll be watching you waiting for it I’m sinking I’ve sat here for too long Christ you're right I was wrong Maybe it’s time to move on

Early Risers 03:49
This one's for the lonely For the weathered, the unrested Though they're patient, they're complacent Growing ancient by the mass And the morning is for sleeping Any day left of the weekend Though it's gonna come back to bite you Fair warning to prepare And the morning is for sleeping Through the sun, the light, and the beeping And the lonely start to creep in You awake, you're suddenly weeping This one's for the cheerful For the smilers, early risers Though they're restless, they're relentless Growing older just the same And they'll taunt you and confuse you With monotony and illusion "You're a junky, you're a bad seed" "Look to God for restitution" And the morning is for sleeping Through the sun, the light, and the beeping And the lonely start to creep in You awake, you're suddenly weeping And you're mourning and you're screaming In your mind you're steadily grieving And the romance you believed in Left a scar, a burden, a demon This one's for the lonely Waiting for your one and only For the last dance or the right chance Until romance isn't real And the morning is for sleeping Through the sun, the light, and the beeping And the lonely start to creep in You awake, you're suddenly weeping And you're mourning and you're screaming In your mind you're steadily grieving And the romance you believed in Left a scar, a burden, a demon

If you're trying to kill me I'll prove it if I must I've been told I'm a pleaser A breeder of diseases To my own degradation Now you're wasting away You're a your body in a cage Now you're digging your own grave Darling don't you despise me? I'd think you'd recognize these lies I was cold and demeaning And living lost its meaning While the whole city's standing by for me Now you're wasting away You're a your body in a cage Now you're digging your own grave If you're trying to kill me There's nothing left inside I've been told I'm a pleaser A breeder of diseases While the whole city sleeps

Buttons 03:42
Ain't it nice? You're so far away from home Would you correct me if I'm wrong? Am I all right? I couldn't feel down if I tried What is the difference anyhow? Steal your poison, break my heart Do this over, fall apart Clear the toxins from my brain Spare me your pity Now I'm mine I feel more when I'm alone Would you correct me if I'm wrong? Am I in line? I couldn't feel down if I tried Either way, we're doing fine Steal your poison, break my heart Do this over, and fall apart Clear the toxins from my brain Spare me your pity

Erode under pressure You thought maybe you'd lose me It was cold You'd done better No need to amuse me Is this a joke? I ain't laughing no need to amuse me It was cold and demeaning You'd like to accuse me You're sick, you're screwed on this fixation At your own invitation And you've made your perfect cessation For that I should thank you You still blow my mind I'd admit if I was a little tongue-tied The sweetest rain The taste of sugar came Right in time To bring you peace of mind Erode under pressure You thought maybe you'd lose me I was cold and demeaning You'll have to excuse me This is sick, you're screwed on this fixation At your own invitation And you've made your perfect cessation For that I should thank you And you still blow my mind I'd admit if I was a little tongue-tied The sweetest rain The taste of sugar came Right in time To bring you peace of mind But you still blow my mind I'd admit if I was ever tongue-tied It's such a shame The sweetest rain The taste of sugar came right in time To bring you peace of mind

They'll tie you to the floor And smother you You're bound to change your mind Neighbors gather 'round to see They'll water you like flowers 'til you drown You say "Momma please" "I cannot breathe, and it makes me wanna tell" My Father said "Don't go begging for your soul" My hands are tied They'll pull your strings We're turning all your money gold Don't exchange, don't exchange Until they all grow old Or watch it blacken, turn to coal We'll live on water Pull my own strings, rule supreme We'll call it home Well they'll shine you up in blue And black 'Til you bleed to his delight So you'd better know your rights As if that much would save you anyhow We're turning all your money gold Don't exchange, don't exchange Until we all grow old Or watch it blacken, turn to coal We'll live on water Pull my own strings, rule supreme

Residue 04:56
I could feed this fire if indeed there's a viable means But I won't waste any making due of your desire debris Let the blind men stumble, and the poor man fumble for food 'Cause I can wear my burden in the loom of another dispute I'm all that I wasn't my dear Well who stole the cookie from the goddamn cookie jar? We could blame one another 'til the klepto folds his cards And we're all here feeling in a room full of residue With the names and numbers of the people and the places I knew I'm all that I wasn't my dear While we're all here feeling in a room full of residue Keep the names and numbers of the people and the places we knew I’m all that I wasn’t my dear
