Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. 03:36

Wanting it here isn't doing it there Thoughts we think here never really hold up Bought some of this and a little of that I was worried I'd never sleep again It went from the night, into my lungs And into my blood, back into the day It's literally always following me I can't stay home for the weekend I was afraid I was alone and I cut the wrong wire I was afraid to say your name While you were out we came across Whatever it was you're capable of I'll be on board, I'll be on board Until you decide it's over I hate how I am and probably How I will be when we give up I'm moving my mouth without meaningful sound I can't stay home for the weekend I was afraid I was alone and I cut the wrong wire I was afraid to say your name I pinch myself, it's not a dream Just life behind walls and walls of glass I see the things, see all the things And what now? What am I supposed to do now? They move away, they lose their glow My brain's sending signals, my body is numb A ticking sound, a blinking light This is it, this must be it for me

Protocol 04:01

I don't mind Regretting everything like all the time As long as it's with you How we love Being close without being close enough Remember This is not a contest you can just reenter Whenever you like Now it's known We're so much less together than we are on our own We're barely people, baby We've ended up somewhere we don't belong We're wondering if we're allowed to go Compromise We're in it to win it, are we doing this right? Putting in hours Differences Used to be intriguing till we lost interest Honesty Is your way of taking all that belongs to me By saying it first Intimacy Is diplomatically unstable territory I dare not enter, baby We've ended up somewhere we don't belong We're wondering if we're allowed to go Has it always been this difficult?

It's Not Your Birthday Anymore, It's Your Birthday Again 03:28

Oh my god, is that really you? If you are here, then where am I? I blacked out, I blacked out You found me a bit too late Things have changed, it's different now Nothing old applies anymore I was lost, I was lost Sometimes I wish I still was Rack and ruin, what are you doing? We feel slightly less ideal Slightly less alive And it's over now, boy, it's over now Nothing ist beginning, everything's too late I'm stuck in a loop repeating one single mistake So I can keep on feeling I've never had chance And never ever tell you what I'm really up against I remember nothing, I'm cheering for myself Numbing all my thoughts whenever one of them rebels I could never follow, neither can I lead I'll do anything as long as we don't have to meet The present is so very thin Fold your hand Seal the door Heal the dead It is the one, the one thing we need We feel slightly less ideal Slightly less alive And it's over now, boy, it's over now

Now that you're tied to my boiler Who sent you, who's your employer? This isn't just paranoia, you'll see I've really tried to avoid this But I'm a casualty of my choices So much for being guided by the voices in our heads You'll never get it right Once it's found its way inside Tell me why I dream about the end We crawl through the sewers like vermin While the wheels of the earth keep on turning It's not up to us to determine our fate We've known each other for so long I can't let our death be a slow one I'm sorry, I cannot let this go on anymore I have to get it right Before it finds its way inside Tell me why I dream about the end As long as it's letting us live We can walk, walk freely And if we walk far enough We'll be gone, gone completely I could not get it right Because it's always been inside I guess that's why I dream about the end

Catastrophe 02:38
lyrics
buy track
Don't answer the door when they knock, keep it locked You've had too much time to digress, arabesque They are company you never chose, it follows We don't approve and we're trying to help, nothing else With all that is lost, our line has been crossed It's there because you can only lose your mind once Your spiraling eyes were once so awake You are still so young, everything else is too late Self-control ist but a dream you keep waking up from The answers never came, now even all the questions are gone And you're still here in the middle of nowhere, anywhere What in the world are we going to do about you?

Fix It In Post 05:06
lyrics

Isn't it weird, we know nowhere but here Yet we're giving it five out of ten The problem may lie within what is implied By everything having to end A circular track reaching all the way back The future becomes past and dies Standing in line for an infinite ride Price of admission's too high We wait, we're doing it by the book We wait, but nothing is happening Show us a way, we promise we'll never say no If there was a god, and I know there is not But let's just for a second assume Would he wear a shirt always covered in dirt? Would he be drunk daily by noon? We wait, we're doing it by the book We wait, but nothing is happening Show us a way, we promise we'll never say no No, there ain't much there that's there Just a greenscreen and some amateurs But we'll work on it, we will Find a spark and something to ignite We wait, we're doing it by the book We wait, but nothing is happening Show us a way, we promise we'll never say no
