I have made it Made it out I left pieces all around I have made it Made it out Left to fertilize the ground All the faces That I loved Just a fading memory But I made it Made it out Hope I made you proud I have made it Made it out I left pieces all around I have made it Made it out Left to fertilize the ground I made it

Saint Valentine Bless me with the bounty you advertise I've seen it so many times It's the easiest motif you can buy I've seen it, so where is mine? Where is mine? I'll finally find my home Once you see that I belong with you I'll finally find my home Once you see that I belong with you With you With you I can hardly wait To never have to sleep alone again I've seen it so many times You overlook the thorns of the rose I've seen it, so aren't you mine? Aren't you mine? I thought I found my home Really thought that I belonged with you I thought I found my home Really thought that I belonged with you With you With you Now that we're here, now that you have me Now that you've torn me away from my shell Won't you defend, won't you protect me? Won't you be walls of my one citadel? Now that we're here, I have some questions Backbone is met with such hostile deflection You can't expect me to believe In every contention, the problem is me No fight, just flight Don't follow me You know I know I've seen you clearly now So claw all you want It's not gonna happen Yeah, you can cry all you like I'm done With you (Your friends are mine, my friends are yours) With you (Our courses tied up in the storm) With you (A cage of fingers, still a cage) With you (Enrage the captor, disengage) Was I right to withdraw? Was it you all along? Was it all in my head? Did you ever mean what you said? Suspect Setting traps to get a rise I know you've practiced with your eyes You're so distraught, but babe Babe, they're always dry (Does this sound like) Does this sound like love? (Does this sound like) Does this sound like love to you? (Does this sound like) This can't continue (Does this sound) Was I right to withdraw? (Does this sound like) Was it you all along? (Does this sound like) Was it all in my head? (Does this sound like)

I saw you looking through my window And I saw the crowbar behind your back The gap between your face and mask Gaslight, gaslight Red hands make contact I saw you looking through my window Didn't invite you, so why you're here I don't know But I saw the crowbar behind your back The gap between your face and mask Gaslight, gaslight Red hands make contact I saw you looking through my window Didn't invite you, so why you're here I don't know But I caught you I caught you looking through my window Just wanted some time alone, but you couldn't just take a no

Game Over 04:22
Such fond moments repeating in my head If you could overlook how I took you for granted Then I would try again And I would go all in As long as you wanted The same 160, five ten Now you've got a new man and I can't take it But let me tell you, darling, if he doesn't cut it Then I would try again And I would go all in As long as you wanted The same 160, five ten I would try again I would try again I left you standing by the gate, the gate That next step, you were so ready to take, to take 16 don't make no man of me Cut the cord before I broke myself on you 23, can I trust my memory? Did we have it when I split us into two? Drop the flowers at your feet Do you ever think of me? Drop the flowers at your feet Do you ever think of me? Drop the flowers at your feet Do you ever think of me? Drop the flowers at your feet Do you ever think of me?

Bubble Haven 03:09
In the clouds, my refuge In the clouds, we can enjoy the silence No clothes, in the bedroom Just remember, as long you're on this island I don't need to clip your wings or take your time But if you want, you can stay in my bed And if you're not here when I'm back, well that's just fine But if you want, you can stay in my bed You've had your fun Meandering beyond Be honest Surrender to the warmth of my palms If you're tired, I've got you If you're scared, I've got you If you're hungry, I've got you I know you're scared I've got you I don't need to clip your wings or take your time But if you want, you can stay in my bed And if you're not here when I'm back that's just fine But if you want, you can stay in my bed I don't need to clip your wings or take your time But if you want, you can stay in my bed And if you're not here when I'm back that's just fine But if you want, you can stay in my bed

The Terminal 03:43
Woke before the dawn Grab my bag and then I'm gone Until the next year (Save for a funeral) Dawn of the final day Can I start another game? Can I stay here? On the quiet drive into the terminal You'd explain how much they need me (Here I am) Had me in your home Watched them grow Now they're grown Can I stay? How do I say Goodbye I'll think about you, even when I don't want to Goodbye I didn't want it to be this way Goodbye I'll think about you, even if I don't know you Can I have a few more days? Do they deserve me at my best? Will they desert me like the rest? Why don't I value my own damn time? Given so much away to people who'd already made up their mind White knuckle every connection made Oh, how do I say Goodbye I'll think about you, even when I don't want to Goodbye I didn't want it to be this way Goodbye I'll think about you, even if I don't know you Can I have a few more days? We did what we could with what we had But we all know the king of the desert's coming So, at the dawn of the final day You know the song that you must play When you want to go back Well, I thought I'd have more fucking time But there you are, waving at me from the other side of security Goodbye I'll think about you, even when I don't want to Goodbye I didn't want it to be this way Goodbye I'll think about you, even if I can't stand you Can I have a few more days?

Calm Waters 05:03
Spray-tanned baby hands Give them what for Stirring the pot It's not like it's melting anymore Fed the flames, called them names Now it's boiling over He'll sic his blue hounds for more exposure Doesn't matter, they aren't his voters We'll say, "Just look to the king" So how long 'til the fire hoses? Dog teeth digging into their ankle While up we turn our nose I'm too pale to own this pain But I'll be damned if I stand by While before our eyes Another of color is brutalized It happened again And it rippled through our beds It made feet hit the ground Cue the revolution now Take to the streets Take to the streets Who are they shielding? Take to the streets Take to the streets When it's not enough We equip gas masks to maintain the pressure While batons swing free, demand we be better Molotov cocktails served to halt the efforts Of the drones deployed to stifle this endeavor Nothing will break the blue wall of silence And there's nothing we can do when they bring the violence We are vermin to them, we are vermin to them And they will crush our throats until the bitter end And I see their hands And I see their hands And I see their hands And I see their hands And I see their hands And I see their thrashing Under your boots Our heads Under your nails Our skin And I see their hands And I see their hands And I see their blood

Caught in the screenscape "Don't stay up too late" A common phrase to disobey Just mind the noise you make They glow like a welt Those late Nintendo nights Sleeping bags on a trampoline Snug, sound through morning light Light Light Light I don't laugh, I don't laugh like that anymore Let's go back, let's go back to the way we felt before Another year gone I still haven't proven them wrong Colors seem duller somehow Take me back to Oliver's house Getting older feels scary like a balverine Oh, there's a brake light stare Keeping me awake through the morning light Light Light Light I don't laugh, I don't laugh like that anymore Let's go back, let's go back to the way we felt before How much to go back? Time was all I had Now it's moving past me much too fast How much to go back? Time was all I had Now it's moving past me much too fast How much to go back? Time was all I had Now it's moving past me much too fast How much to go back? Time was all I had Now it's moving past me much too fast

Summit City 03:51
Behold the golden glow at the treacherous peak Anything you want if you can cope with the climb Everyone below sweats, blistering heat Kingdom in the sky, could be your life if you try Don't shoot from the hip Don't lose your grip Better watch your step You'd better come correct If you're gonna go higher Gotta drop that dead weight Better make damn sure to watch it fall Cause that could well be your fate Highlighting our violent tendencies It's me and mine, not us I will feel their breeze But my ten dollar boots Are falling apart again I could, I could spend a little more this time But how would I eat then Where the smog clears, life grows green from the sheer Feels like I've climbing for days Think I'm being watched by the ones at the top And one misstep is all that it takes Highlighting our violent tendencies It's me and mine that slip and descend through the breeze Falling

Postmodern 07:32
We're all the same No one really wins this game Oh, we're all the same No one really wins this game How far will we follow? Mother or our sovereign? Either way, it's her house Lead us under We're all the same No one really wins this game Oh, we're all the same No one really wins this game How deep is the hollow? Mourning in her garden Adamantly delouse and bring to us ruin Ruin Ruin Ruin Wildfire spreading Cancer cleansing We're all the same No one really wins this game Oh, we're all the same No one really wins this Is that the best you've got? Really now, you don't have a shot You'll never alter what they see You'll never alter their beliefs Is that the best you've got? Really now, you don't have a shot You'll never alter what they see You'll never alter their beliefs Flood us out Burn us down I'll understand I'll understand Hell This is all we know Hell This is how we go Disintegrating (No fangs, just whimpers) We're all the same Reintegrating (Don't bang, just wither) No one really wins this game Disintegrating (No fangs, just whimpers) We're all the same Reintegrating No one really wins this
