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?

Cubist Crush 03:18
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!

Quasar Ills 03:32
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

No Waiting 03:32
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

Unapologetic 04:45
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!

Breadboy 04:18
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

Trampoline 04:58
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
