Fevers 04:19
It started with the first time in the flat with dawn (A clean way out) I could see it in your eyes, you had your doubts (We’ve tried.) It started with the first time I could see you retreating from your high (We didn’t stop to see you) But it started with the first time I could feel me falling from these heights (I can’t stop these habits with you around) You swear you don’t need the company to restart I fell, sinking low But you can really start to turn it around Start making money Do we have to? What’s in it for me? Lights on my illness You can fix my head, never my mind A clean high You found it at your desk Start thinking of the ways you won’t have to deal with me (You can) Hide away like the movies What are you so afraid of? A clean life isn’t coming The cross is turned away You swear you don’t need the company to restart I fell, sinking low But you can really start to turn it around Start making money Do we have to? What’s in it for me? Lights on my illness We can fix my head, never my mind You don’t have to take this all from me (Where are you going to start again?) We don’t have to run so far from here (Who are you going to start it with?)

Noisecreep 03:50
I’m like a new noisecreep I like the sound of car crashes with God and man I hear them both with me So, those noisy lows show these things I’ve sewn It all sounds troublesome today I should be good and seeing straight But I have an ugly curse and hellish way to just drown today I want to kiss my girl underwater Yeah, it would be nice to have a medical cure as I sink my teeth in further Float, we can be calm, forget our debts I called to say hello My timing isn’t always the greatest I hear you in the back of my mind “You’ve got to get it together.” They tell us to behave but we know We’ve got too much to say You can look close, then be on your way I’m like a new noisecreep I’m cherry red My room is full of curtains The lights are dim and low Leave it as you found them here and be on your way I called to say hello My timing isn’t always the greatest I hear you in the back of my mind “You’ve got to get it together.” I know I should be good and seeing straight “You’ve got to get it together.” Do you think you could take your teeth off me? “You’ve got to get it together.” Turning off my brain It gets so hard to stay awake Turning off my brain I’m like a new noisecreep

Stay Away 03:57
My crowded heaven is full of shadows I’m foolish I’m full of shadows There’s an aqua violet glow and it lights the room Eyes shining Like deer in twilight just trying to move on But I’m stuck in reverse Trying to make sense of it all, but I always see it backwards I’m stuck in a moment Your mouth is moving silent I’m freaking out and losing it And the lights are bright And I know you really like them But I like things a little dimmer They’re afraid of us They’re all afraid of us And you should be, too Stay away from us If you really know us So, what does it really matter if we’re staying up Just stay away from us A soft, faint chill sets the wind in a perfect day depression And every awkward little cry lifts our broken hymns It makes me smile They’re afraid of us They’re all afraid of us And you should be, too Just ask me We don’t really need a big story Don’t ask permission from them Just ask me We don’t really need a big story What have they done Yeah, what have they done for us Stay away from us If you really know us So what does it really matter if we’re staying up Stay away from us

Bad Brain 03:38
There’s a string of lights hanging up at your place The same street They’re more colorful than I remember, this year Tip toe in the room, the party is here just for you, you know We are hiding to celebrate We don’t have to choose our ways Our ways tell us, “time has run short.” Skeleton’s walking down the catwalk Covered in ink And I don’t know what they sound like The volume’s off and I don’t mind I hear the static of my neighbor’s breathing this time He holds his breath while I look up He looks back This is not the time for him, but he is still breathing You know you have sold yourself short And I can feel it creeping in You’ve sold yourself short And now you can’t stop dreaming it out It’s useless God writes me letters in words too small to read The other leaves me cards to guess what could’ve been And what I can’t foresee I’ve got a bad brain, it’s no good You’ve sold yourself short Don’t make me your lights in there Hang me somewhere else

What if you found out you’re an illusion caught in a body nobody cares for? What am I doing? Caught in a landslide. It’s punishment when you don’t deserve it. What am I doing? Carve me a new love. Open the blinds. Your life deserves light.

Fall 03:07
Maybe we should just drive Give this up for the safe way out Now the sun’s in my eyes So I pull the blinds Climb into you Fall into me I hang on to you As we fall faster than we can hold Maybe we should just drive Give this up for a safe way out When I ask, “Are you happy?” You only hold your breath to fill up your time If I were you, I’d run far from me If I were you, I’d run far from me My instincts, they did it again My mouth stuck on spilling out Whatever makes me feel good and only ways that I can make you regret I’m failing you You see right through it Climb into you Fall into me I hang on to you As we fall faster than we can hold Maybe we should just drive Give this up for a safe way out Now the sun’s in my eyes So I pull the blinds

Nightwalking 03:28
I know I said I'd fix you I know I said I'd fix you, but I did it wrong And I don't know how to change it back around I don't know how to change you back now But, Marissa has my seven digits She wears me like a scar Skinny jeans for looks on Friday nights I heard you've been kissing those weekend boys But you took all your parents money Just to go out and break the law Yeah, you took all your parents money Just to go out with your cigarettes On Friday night I heard you've been kissing those weekend boys Those weekend boys, love to talk about it You're nightwalking again You've lost your lovely way Out at ten, you’re out walking again But now the lights out here have made you gorgeous They treat you like a star A pretty thing to look at on starry nights Heard you been kissing those weekend boys So we can go all day doing the same old things Until I ask if all the things have changed But that’s the scar that feels the same as ever And that’s the sunset kissing the coast (Your life, in twilight) On Friday night I heard you’ve been kissing those weekend boys Those weekend boys, love to talk about it You’re nightwalking again You’ve lost your lovely way When I’m out at ten, you’re out walking again I know I said I'd fix you I know I said I'd fix you, but I did it wrong And I don't know how to change it back around I don't know how to change you back now

We’re much more tried than we were last year So young and naive then Before we started, our dreams were lovely And we weren’t scared of death We weren’t scared at all We hadn’t thought we’d lose our memories If we got lost inside I think my life is disappearing now I think my life is disappearing I can’t find where I want to be Stay calm We’ll deal with this once a day We’ll see what comes of it Remain calm Somebody is on their way They’ll help you see it straight We’ll take the drugs in our leaves of absence If you start to waiver, we’ll leave without you They need a heart I relapse on memory I got numb again I feel the scar, but I need the money I think I’m lost again I think my life is disappearing now I think my life is disappearing Got to keep the evil in Driving for ages on terrible, heavenly graces I think my life is disappearing Got to keep the evil in Stay calm We’ll deal with this once a day We’ll see what comes of it Remain calm Somebody is on their way They’ll help you see it straight We’ll take the drugs in our leaves of absence If you start to waiver, we’ll leave without you

Sedate for an hour a night Suffocate what is young I really wish I had known what I know So the weight of everything wouldn’t crush my faith Put my fate in an ageless heart and I call that dark space my only way out Then once a year, I’ll let it out I just can’t let the weight in It’s gone, so I don’t even notice My dark, isn’t quite enough to hold this When I called out your name, no one answered Why did no one answer? You’re gone, and I don’t even notice Where you are, you don’t need to know me I see your face in a heaven night I see the space in my hands The space is young The wound is getting deeper You can’t even hold in fate Forever laughs It laughs. When I called out your name No one answered Why did no one answer?

Strange Lows 02:37
You stand tall You think right You’re pretty sure nothing is wrong with you Until your hands they shake, and they can’t hold your cigarette The lines begin to shift You’re scared You stand slight Your lips curve So you hide the lack and keep the ones you love Leave the life of lies and live alone Be low So the rest can raise up your heart of gold Until your hands they shake, and they can’t hold your cigarette At these strange lows Strangers seem to follow Lead them where they cannot go At these strange lows Quiet peace is hard to keep our own In these stranger lows Can you still picture the rabbit you followed? Do you still look up and feel small when you feel the thread that fate pulls along? Can you still picture the rabbit you followed? Do you look up and feel small? When you feel your luck stop, be afraid to get up. At these strange heights, the Lord looks up to find you. At these strange lows Strangers seem to follow Lead them where they cannot go At these strange lows Quiet peace is hard to keep our own At these stranger lows

Kids 05:21
Woke up my brunette sunset Los Angeles on a shiny bed of nails All that doom and gloom feels like a strong wind Somewhere off the coast, dreaming on clouds of nothing Oh, yeah I don’t love me, no, I don’t love me today Policemen dancing Round, dark sunglasses shot me through the threads Lost without new blood Skull with empty eyes, watching my hours slip by Don’t let the streets bleed out your veins There, no one really loves you So screw your friends if they save face We’ll fake it to make it I can’t be part of you I can’t be part of you if you won’t be part of me, too Heard a sound Some blue holy ghost sneaks around back hallways Lost and lonely soul Girl with pretty eyes leaves me black flowers on my bed But you’ve got your bashful blue scarf around your neck Floating down the steps and you’re broken now Everybody’s watching you now Nineteen Sharp hair Oh damn, you made a mess of it now So leave off on some other wave, just to let us feel safe Don’t let the streets bleed out your veins There, no one really loves you So screw your friends if they save face We’ll fake it to make it I can’t be part of you I can’t be part of you, if you won’t be part of me too Nothing is going right Nothing is going right tonight Nothing is going right Everything is wrong I can’t stop you from this feeling Nothing is going right Nothing is going right tonight Nothing is going right Everything is wrong and I can’t stop you from believing I can’t get past this feeling Is death the only option? To be young is to be lonely
