Every time you leave I find I fall victim to an afterthought same way that you relieve your mind of not thinking it'll make a mark see you in disbelief its like its not happening if I'm at fault making it your escape to finding what's missing as you break your heart you don't have to go away you don't have to go on going on you're gonna leave someone then need someone every time you see someone your gonna lead him on tease someone every time you meet someone see you from far away decide to make something of it after all see you can smile and wave but I can tell if you're ever with someone see this is what I hate but try to just give it all a rest for now fakeness will go away but rise amidst distant subtle hints somehow you don't have to go away you don't have to go on going on you're gonna leave someone then need someone every time you see someone your gonna lead him on tease someone every time you meet someone

We won’t live half as long we won’t get all the way off any dope we won’t get half as far we all get all the hate already so isn’t anything around that I could carry as a crowd and I could rein the underground everyone I know forgot to care about my show so maybe we all get broke I won’t hear half a song that won’t be old to me or any soul you’re only half as wrong as all these are to me already so isn’t anything around that I could carry as a crown and I could rein the underground everyone I know forgot to care about my show so maybe they should all stay home

Relapse 03:56
I don’t wanna come out yet I don’t wanna get outta this bed I don’t wanna go back into work I just wanna get back into her I don’t wanna collapse yet I don’t wanna get outta my head I just wanna get outta this world I just wanna relax and you know its good to meet you its no good to need you I’m glad that I know ya but sorry I know ya and its good to meet you its so good to see you I’m glad that I know ya but sorry I know ya I don’t wanna come out yet I don’t wanna get outta this bed I don’t wanna go back into work I just wanna get back into her I don’t wanna combat this I don’t wanna rule out any less I don’t wanna relapse and get hurt I just wanna relapse and you know its good to meet you its no good to need you I’m glad that I know ya but sorry I know ya and its good to meet you its so good to see you I’m glad that I know ya but sorry I know ya

Space Stash 03:13
Dreams come from hell I’ve got to feel something else I’ve got to tell someone else what I believe scenes come at night that I could sear from my mind I can’t unsee something I don’t wanna see acting like it’s bad acting like it’s me held from without as I can tell from the doubt I need to tear something out from out of me steal from the lies that I can peel from my eyes and I can reel from the size of what it means acting like it’s bad acting like it’s me acting like it’s said here come the night here come the quiet violence eardrums are tight it numbs it like valium here come the light here come the white silence here come the bite here come the sight now you see

If I sailed off I might of fell off I kinda trailed off it didn’t go right 'til I got ahead some a modest income to pay the rent from and ignore life since it’s a game I’m gonna kill someone over this I'm gonna kill someone I hope you got a list in front of this two horse town I hope you’re not missing some of it to hold out for a hope that’s not piss in tornadic youthful doubt are we godless? there’s an old way that we can all say is in no way believed or right but I’m hell bound to have a meltdown and kill the whole town if it goes like this it’s a game I’m gonna kill someone over this I'm gonna kill someone I hope you’ve got a list in front of this to hold down I hope you’re not missing none of it to slow down for a hope that’s not piss in tornadic youthful doubt are we godless?

Room Tempo 03:25
Lucky you don’t say no unless you won’t try maybe if you don’t say no at least die you don’t let go at least you want mine baby you don’t say no and if it feels right feel like I can walk aware and if it feels right now feel like I can walk on air and if it feels right now feel like I can walk away I’m on a bridge and I cry out but still no echo I’m on a mission to gray out but still no ergo I want a vision of ground but still no echo I want a fish and a crown facil yo

Hocus 02:23
Half awake it's getting late she's alone so hurry home now disarray is never a peaceful thought assume we know that one says you want more one says you’re done one turns you off more one turns you on run get your gun girl run get your gun what terms you opt for escalate despair and hate least of all believe we've known that

Algo Siento 01:55
I cut my hair too straight no one's looking at me in the meantime I got to bed too late no one's gonna let me read between these lines I got my head screwed straight no one's gonna let me in the east side bars just like your last mistake think you're gonna like it 'til you see three stars because this town's too big it's like a med you take just to be productive with your free time if it's a bed you make it could be for nothing if you keep behind it's not the sound you make no one gives a fuck about your pink keytar it's not the mirror you break seven years of luck is not the least bit hard I guess this town's too big it's not the ground you take no one's gonna like you coz you play too hard it's not the walls you break tearing something up so you can play your part it's what you found to hate not enough of what you need to keep you hard it's what's around these days

I hate word of such time has come but if it's time to run then we are we are those sails on the horizon sun we should be farther from than we are we are they say heroes will win the war we will defend the shore but we won't we don't no way we could live through it all once they get through the wall we're gone we're done we can wait for the sun they will rape everyone if they break beyond the shore and they'll take our gods if fate would've been kind at all we wouldn't find it out once they're done they're done that day as they run through the wine with their new concubines they won they won we can wait for the sun they will rape everyone if they break beyond the shore and they'll take our sons and they'll make your daughters whore** and the rest are left everybody else dead **Please note, this song is a fictional story about an ancient Viking siege told from the perspective of a deserter justifying desertion just before the siege. In no way is it intended to glorify rape or demean women. Its a reflection on the atrocities that happen during wartime, and the literal hateful nature of it all.

Snow Day 04:16
A sweet new analog to reuse every day believe you had it wrong when we threw that away I see you out alone and need you every way you I give in to your subtle troubled act again knew I'd give in to your subtle troubled act again I bleed through my resolve a see-thru palisade believe you might evolve and seep through my brigade a need to not a want so we do anyway you I give in to your subtle troubled act again knew I'd give in to your subtle troubled act again
