Night Drives 01:51
Hold on, I don't want you to fall out of this vehicle Slammed your head against the ground Wonder how long you were still there, I wonder if you could hear my last words Because of this you'll never know But I don't wanna make it out if you don't It's late, roads were bad I should've known That something wouldn't go quite right But I had to get you home I'm captivated by your charms, we should have slept in each other's arms If it occurred to me, that this is the last time we'd ever breathe I'd tell you what I felt for you Before they sent teams out searching for our bodies Waited too long to let it show But I'll hold your hand buried in the snow This is the end I'm not crying anymore

Pamplemousse 02:50
Woke up today I used to have such bright eyes Now they're dull and hardly mine Spent all my time catering to your life And all you did was suck mine dry It's quite the sight Still acting like a child Slightest discomfort makes you whine Unfair, so scared, whatcha gonna do when I'm not there? How you grow up in time The ones who raise the tide to stop your breathing They hate you when you're here And then love you when you're leaving Never know what they want, They're just here to mess things up Delusional to think that we need them Get out of where you don't belong The longer you stay, The longer you'll be wrong They never cared, no not a chance Out for themselves, not thinking of me And I just wanna see me happy The ones who raise the tide to stop your breathing They hate you when you're here And then love you when you're leaving Never know what they want, They're just here to mess things up Compromise was all for naught, They make demands whether you like it or not So get smart and then get gone You know you're better off if you say so-long It's not your job to try and please them And until they're done, They're using us

Cat Toast 02:39
Drove out 'cause I had to see your face again you know I'm anything but patient Don't bet on me ever getting tired of this So I waited for you To get out of my head But you never left You captivate me, why don't you stay a while You know the sunset isn't as beautiful as your smile Help me, I'm falling hard without a safety net hanging down below to catch me With any luck you'll be the one who gets to take care of that for me Walking hand in hand along the beach when you said that perfect happened that day You looked at me, I fell in love Held you close till the sunlight went away Our pair is crazy, a cat with toast on its back Fall infinitely, they say we'll land but I don't buy that
4.
Wonder where you won't find me there cause I don't care, talking to too thin air Missed the date, you arrived too late Can't just fix things now, you dont even know how Don't be scared, though it's cold out there In the great white north Hope that what you feel will tear you in two Still paying that damn toll thanks to you No love to share, out of hearts to spare The land is desolate and bare See you there, the wind blowing in your hair Nothing compares Did my time without doing any crime, just go away Hope the things you love put you through strife Wish you the best of luck with your precious little life

V.F.D. 02:23
To drag myself out of harm's way gonna need more than your spare change wouldn't be any help of mine I never win, don't ask me why when all I ever did was try Find a way to pass the time, gouge out both of my damn eyes well I should've known better Didn't work out the way you planned It rarely does so don't feel bad In a similar boat as me, a crew of one and sinking quickly Always soaked through when there's no rain nobody else cares what a shame The tunnel seems the only way, sometimes the light's another train well I should've known better watch me die to pass the time
6.
Perfect 03:41
there's not a thing that's wrong with you and I'll do it all so you don't have to hope you can see how it should be you and me never gonna change my mind about how i love you nothing you do, and nothing you say
7.
Sorry, Again 03:42
Say what you want, I can't tell you what to think and I can't do much of anything Without you breathing down my neck Everynight it's the same routine breakdowns and pulled heartstrings something has got to change I'm sorry ma, I'm the one who stole the mats I'm sorry ma, I'll take out the trash A constant jump through rings fight over simple things like, well, fucking everything if only they could see, you like her more than me I was just about to drop it, when you opened your damn mouth and now the flooding questions drown my mind The paranoia hits me hard Difficult for me to trust that your words come from the heart Being lied to in the past never fades away with time, It hides away, Conjuring the best way to ruin your whole life Try to call an ambulance Try sticking out your tongue Try to write a song, when the replacements already wrote them all
8.
do what suits you I don't know what suits me anymore I'm digging holes in my floor deep enough to find, find out everything I need and you can't take that away from me So let's play your little game Just as long as it takes to find out everything Suck it in, don't wait for him It's he or I, you can no longer deny I swear I'm gonna get it, just give me a minute At least I'm trying to be me, there's no better way to be
