I guess I see why you went for that
But do you know why I'm still intact?
'cause I didn't tell you what you wanna hear
'cause I didn't give you what I have left
And do you know why I'm still alive?
Do you know why I still thrive?
If not I've got ideas to try
Just in case I brought these FYIs
Typical three day weekend for you
wake up for those guys but for me it's snooze
Days without an incident...
Are all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Ride your Triumph out but break down it might
It's a good thing you fix it with a pocket knife!
Giving us reasons but nothing new
Reasons to leave I'll give you a few!
Nothing new to the table this time
Already heard it so why rewind?
You'll idolize anything that's easy to find
You'll idolize anything that comes to your mind
Hop alot of planes boy well are you scared?
Questions you can answer once you're up in the air
Expectations don't exist to me...
They're all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Are all we have to lose
Pushed myself past the point I care
Now I'm searching for a single fuck to spare
And you'd even say that
You pulled this out of thin air
Will you sit till 11th hour?
Hey architect, sketch yourself a tower!
You took so long to tell me I'm back at the start

So I
Can't talk to you straight
I can't communicate
And that's my life
Wish I
Had much more to say
Who'd listen anyway
But I'm concise, ow!
Ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah
Forget
Just what I'm saying next
I'm talking through a hex
No milestones
Stumble
Through conversation dread
And all my words are dead
Tongue catacombs, ow!
Ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah
I never take advice from somebody else
I probably should 'cause I'm repeating myself
I'll shut my mouth cause I'm just cheating, I'm cheating, I'm cheating, I'm cheating myself

I know it's easy
When it's laid out for you
Yet you show it tore through
Foreshadow so vast
If cliches don't last...
Then where are we at?
And couldn't we thrash?
You're the only Ultraviolet one!
Hey Sally why don't you make it your own?
Jump in a wave instead of a thrown
You'll be reborn if you give it sometime
Just keep it free form and learn how to rhyme!
It's too tragic your spill happened
Never get out of line again
If we see them uniting
We know what you’re hiding
I know it’s freezing
Antiseptic is in the kit
You wanna stop the bleeding?
I’ll talk to my boss and see about it!
Hey Sally why don't you make it your own?
Jump in a wave instead of a thrown
You'll be reborn if you give it sometime
Just keep it free form and learn how to rhyme!
Why do you rehearse the things you will say?
You’re foolish at best and along she wont play!
Raising more questions than answers
I want in so I’m phasing the blast doors!
Torture me now but I’m taking it to the grave!
Failed to fear you some points can be shaved
Question everything they condone
Hey sally why don’t you make it your own?

Your pose suggests you
Can ignore the look of those
Your dress alludes to
The things that you’d do
The cats not got my tongue
But your glare when we’re one on one
Comment nice, elate me!
But my looks, they will betray me!
Give yourself some time
I’ll get myself out of a bind
There’s not a place that we can’t hide
Cause we’d create our own disguise
I can’t expect to, but god I’d love to impress you!
Do they really like our traits?
Cause with these looks we can relate!
It’ll be the dead of winter
By the time I get a hint to her
I’d rather lose my balance
And have my statements challenged!
Said I’d be her type in time
And girls are nothing to find
So why are you worried baby?
Cause I doubt my looks will save me!

Why are you so levelheaded
In my direction now
Stopped the ship from sinking
But I'd rather it go down
And I have got you so embedded
In everything I found
But I got nobody for the Spring
Endless night
Careless light
And I'm just trying to replicate it
In any way I can
'cause I can't stop thinking
About the places that we ran
And everything I generated
Has stopped where it began
I still got nobody for the Spring
Endless night
Careless light
Endless night
Careless light

The camera, last pictures
Or any ones we'll ever see
But I do not have the time to spare
Or much less battery
Freezing my thoughts, try to catch up
Sizing up unfortunates
Can I still be the same
All I know is from my brother
Unequipped with different names
Always a guess, never correct
Scapegoats are the new cattle
Our new currency is blame
Take away the grass, it's starting
Non-cognition voids outsmarting
If fever dreams mean chapter ends
Then I am made of apprehension
Unincorporated
From a life spent on the shelf
Trusting others with my future
But I never trust myself
Fake empathy, all around me
Sold off an idea
Immediately overwrought
Better stick to your survival
Mechanisms long forgot
Sympathy planned, do what you can
Smoke signals, rapid printing
The receipts of what we bought
Take away the grass, it's starting
Non-cognition voids outsmarting
If fever dreams mean chapter ends
Then I am made of apprehension
Prepackaged nervousness
Narcoleptic from the facts
If I follow all the rules
I'm impervious to collapse
Either bloated faces break a home
Or take another's time
So just embrace yours to
Release me from mine
Take away the grass, it's starting
Non-cognition voids outsmarting
If fever dreams mean chapter ends
Then I am made of apprehension

You place your body on the edge of the bank
And ask for the weight of all the stones that have sank
And you tell the river that it's done nothing wrong
Your eyes stay in place as your head floats along
Born to dive in head first
Can't contain love and curse
Pack up the shelter at the edge of the earth
But I guess I eat and sleep okay and fatally deferred to what becomes
Old growth, I'd shrug
If everyone told me that the past was a drug
Born to dive in head first
Can't contain love and curse
Moles and freckles
Curly hair follicles
Sparked, lit, and charred
In the conflict of goals
Repairs and divides
But I'm done picking sides
I've been in love once
Had my heart broken twice
But fuck, 2012 sure was nice
Don't wait
For me to give you something
That we both know you're not looking for
Separate
I've come up with nothing
'cause I'm afraid of wanting something more

Instinct and analysis
Articulate paralysis
We're all counting down for something
I'm just left with calluses
Dead torso, try to compete
A liar's catching up to me
I'm worse though, time is a fee
Stuck waiting on eternities
Strip the world of all its joys
'cause every day turns into noise
Antique radiation comes
To swallow, digest, and destroy
Dead torso, try to compete
The sky is always crushing me
I'm worse though, time is a fee
No waiting on a guarantee
Flirting with the obvious will only bring you gifts of what's allowed
Should I ask what would a better version of myself be doing now

All the sleep I've lost for nothing
In between events I'm bluffing
Self-annoyed enough to harbor
Grudges, narcissistic martyr
Predators indecisive of prey
Great indecisions will be made today
People who live to play dead on display
Asking will I help out, I may not or I may
I'm knotted up strings never tugged hard enough
I'm fueling the habits that futures rebuff
I wish that my body could just be my son
I am an incomplete set of ideas and I want you to treat me like one
Expectation's all that hurts us
Stuck with chemical inertia
Do you love yourself, your patterns
Does it even really matter?
Brain drainage systems, idea dumping grounds
My attitude's litter and home to a mound
Sleep deprivation for nothing profound
And yelling while driving since no one's around
I don't mean to make you a question of thirst
But life fabricated cannot be reversed
And since I've been stuck on achieving the worst
Just take on the role of whatever comes first
I cannot keep track of all my mistakes
Like heavy cement they just accumulate
Split personalities will not commit
As far as survival and names are concerned they can tell you I don't deserve shit

Orange and the red hues
Contrast with bright blues
This morning we’re recording record highs
Only shocking sometimes!
Is there a pay off on this page?
So much screaming at this phase
But all the while I rock a Mona Lisa Smile
At the thought of your rage!
I missed her by a minute
Kissed the curb and I split it
Wide open I was hoping
The scars would not show!
The moralistic mind tricks
Don’t sit right
I’ll get tight, You bark less than I bite!
Soul Sucking Gaze I evade! Cheating death to get paid!
Think I got better odds under Jefferson street lights!
Seeing a decline in the standard life
Leaning on your friends as they toe the line!
Frantically searching the league,
She’s displeased, not as ease with the frat boy she matched
Oh no no no!
Oh no I won't!
Cataclysmic decision
Not buying what your pitching
My intuition... told me you’re wrong!
Echoes ring past mezzanines
He’s got a zip-lock bag as a wallet please!
Where did you...Dig this guy...
Uprooted he’s unsuited to be heard from
In public discourse!

Red roof city heritage
Blead right through with embellishments
Raised in practical demise
I never really
Had the time
Elements I should combine!
Picked it up, no encouragement
Trouble taking the defeat
You and your experience
They’ll never feel
A word of it oh no!
Fairy tales, grass is greener
Other side I'll take no compromise!
And so I called her, and let her, know that I’m…
Moving to New York City tonight
Golden age of
Exploration
Can of San Miguel
Know me all too well!
I sewed it up with a rusty pin
Growing up to predicaments
It’s always just out of my reach
Know this spot in my heart you’ll keep is gold!
Owe it all to the scavenger
Loan my mind to the traveler!
Peg leg dregs of society
Not her first encounter with sobriety, oh no!
Fighting hard
To brace the cold
I’ll line them all up like dominoes!
Fairy tales, grass is greener
Other side I'll take no compromise!
And so I called her, and let her, know that I’m…
Moving to New York City tonight
Golden age of
Exploration
Can of San Miguel
Know me all too well!

I think I’m dreaming
'cause nothing here makes sense
No deeper meaning
Just hanging on loose ends
There’s a decision
To blink or see it all
Not my decision
Glad to fall off the wall
'cause dreams are easy
They're easier than this
No one can see me
Or my subconscious mess
I think I’ll be fine
When I decide to wake
And really who knows
How long I’m gonna wait
Take it slow
Don't let go
Of those wistful metaphors
That just leave you wanting more
You'll have better luck trying
If you focus on not lying
So when I'm sleeping
I've learned to recognize
That there's no meaning
To writings in the sky
Can’t be good for me
Float along unaware
But there’s no healing
Unless I’m out of air
'cause dreams are easy
They're easier than this
No one can see me
Or my subconscious mess
I think I’ll be fine
When I decide to wake
And really who knows
How long I’m gonna wait
Take it slow
Just let go
Of those wannabe morals
All those pointless empty foils
You'll have better luck just lying
Than covering up what you're hiding
Memory or intuition
Déjà vu but something's missing
Is it greed or OCD
Can't stop taking everything so seriously
Getting older,
Still much younger
Waking up I’ll
Never surrender
Having a dream
About living, I'm dying
I am the bread
Just something you connect to
Getting older,
Still much younger
Waking up I’ll
Never surrender
Having a dream
About living, I'm dying
I am the bread
Just something you connect to
I hope that you're breathing but
I hope you're not living and
I know that my words don't
Always bear repeating but
Please just consider that
There's no deeper meaning 'cause
Anything is dead to me but
Silence is my enemy
So here we all stand with
Our eyes locked hand in hand
Just waiting for the deeper bit
Knowing that there's none of it
And what good is feeling numb
When you’re living on a crumb of
Feeling from those better days
Living through the new malaise
So lock the key and lose the door
And be ready for nothing more
You'll never be let down
If you never stick around
Not waiting for a happy end
'cause it’s okay to never win
Trying not to be afraid
Of neverending rainy days
Getting older (Never-ending rainy days, never-ending rainy days)
Still much younger (Never-ending rainy days, never-ending rainy days)
Waking up I’ll (Never-ending rainy days, never-ending rainy days)
Never surrender (Never-ending rainy days, never-ending rainy days)

I got it
And you won't hear about it anymore
Because I'm on it
Why'd you have to make this uncomfortable, oh!
And if you're alright
Then just admit that something's always wrong
I ain't got all night
But you're my pilot light keeping me on
I bet you thought I was impossible
But I'm out tonight to steal your soul
And I can't stop myself
You're no good for my health
Leave me alone or I'll swallow you whole
I'm dying
In fields of human mazes set adrift
No sense in trying
And dressing up rejection as a gift, oh!
This won't concern them
The thoughts I built and I forgot were mine
I'm gonna burn them
I'll bomb the rest and always fall behind
Sullen, downtrodden, crestfallen, and bare
I'm just way too dumb but acutely aware
Should've dialed it back, held my tongue, and prepared
To live out all my life retreating to nowhere
I bet you thought I was impossible
But I'm out tonight to steal your soul
And I can't stop myself
You're no good for my health
Leave me alone or I'll swallow you whole
A home is just another obstacle
And the roots that split receive control
Of what is real, what is felt
I did this to myself
Sharing blood with lonely animals
Sullen, downtrodden, crestfallen, and bare
I'm just way too dumb but acutely aware
Should've dialed it back, held my tongue, and prepared
To live out all my life retreating to nowhere

Fireworks from carnivals
We watch from your trampoline
Passing notes in cul-de-sacs
And meeting in between
Drown me in your river
Smother me in evening air
We will talk forever
Under siege of truth and dare
Sour shocks and late night talks
With posters in your room
Boy and girlhood's closing up
So this will be my tomb
Drown me in your river
Smother me in evening air
We will talk forever
Under siege of truth and dare
And I just want to fall asleep
With everything in place
But I suppose that some things are just
Never meant to be

Murals in trains
Standing in place
Feral flames
As aesthetic things
Reaching new heights
Scraping the skies
Overlapping structures
That they were built to hide
Generation Vagabond
Couples in a sprinter van
Signs point to another venture
We’ll put away every dime we can
Pessimists will rival
On Projected screens
The elegance that powers
My cinematic dreams
Something so primal
Getting such a relief
More than mere survival
Her beauty’s beyond belief
Stunning nights so hard to describe
Staring at a fire sky!
Signs point to another venture
We’ll get away every time we can
Taking our time
Too many people lie
Wasting the daylight
When we get out of bed
All the fears you ran by me
Are now rampant..In your dreams
Valuing the time that we got
But they don’t know what it cost
Cellars lit by candle light
Coast of Cali drive
Posted signs roast them this time
And see what you really believe
Altitudes past the unknown
Valleys in the desert sky
With no moon around us
I’d be totally blind
Taking our time
Too many people lie
Wasting the daylight
When we get out of bed
All the fears you ran by me
Are now rampant..In your dreams
Valuing the time that we got
But they don’t know what it cost
Taking our time
Too many people lie
Wasting the daylight
When we get out of bed
All the fears you ran by me
Are now rampant..In your dreams
Valuing the time that we got
But they don’t know what it cost
