Tristum 04:28
i look with arms crossed and an eyebrow pointing up and i woke in this state so unlike myself in these halls and in my dreams i think things beyond comparing it's a bridge that can't be crossed it's like a love that won't be lost it's a shirt that can't be worn it's like a world that won't be torn this feeling's a lie, it tricked my eyes it makes me think the sky is ground now i'm upside down you can't rush wisdom it always occurs an awkward verse from your mouth i know it's important to experience both sides it's a girl that turns you on it's learning to say so long it's a father who lets you know it's a mother who let's you go when will i find something that i can grasp something that won't break when i hold it because all these things are abstract but can be worn down and talked about over and over i know i have bigger things to worry about but i can't keep you off my mind it's not my style to let it slide it's not your fault it's not your fault it's a girl that turns you on it's learning to say so long it's a father who lets you know it's a mother who lets you go
3.
i'm trapped with no way out what do i do, what do i do i've got these gadgets to help me out what do i do, what do i do there's nowhere to go with all my brains and all my strength i guess i didn't act fast enough there's gotta be a way out sign this now, sign this right now you'll get immunity i don't believe anything you say so pardon me, but get away there's traps and tunnels and big-eyed guards so pardon me, but there's a lot at stake there's gotta be a way out sign this now, sign this right now you'll get immunity calling for help abort mission, abort mission i've got the files in a bag come get me i guess i didn't act fast enough i know i didn't act fast enough there's gotta be a way out sign this now, sign this right now you'll get immunity
4.
there were times when i was young nothing ever seemed wrong i wish i could have those feelings now try to get them back somehow there were times when i was bold i was either bought or sold i wish i could turn back time i need to hit rewind never be satisfied we try and try and try something's got to give i fell with such delight another one's gonna fall i fell with such delight i'll never learn something's got to give i fell with such delight things won't be like they were i've geared myself up to unlearn scuffed knees and climbing trees that's all that matters to me the price of my days have changed never be satisfied we try and try and try i'm waiting for nothing i'm waiting for nothing something's got to give i fell with such delight another one's gonna fall i fell with such delight i'll never learn something's got to give i fell with such delight
5.
It's So Sad 03:51
there might have been something in the water there i am unclear of whatever it was i feared a combination of nerves and hopes with dreams of love it's so sad to think of what i could have had i never can tell how this works it's so sad i never can tell how this works and it's so sad i never asked for much did i? i just wanted you to realize to read between the lines i got the memo never gonna shadow what i got to offer there's a report i've fallen to short adjust to this size i never can tell how this works it's so sad i never can tell how this works and it's so sad the sand in my toes the salt in my mouth the sun on my back and water all around these are all good things but it's too bad cause' it's so sad i never can tell i never can tell it's so sad i never can tell i never can tell and it's so sad
6.
Manners 04:12
in the lie an oversight what's to denote what's to decode don't let creation pass you by i know i've been missing it hey, i got left behind no one said anything they were just gone and i don't understand don't hit people play fair share everything clean up your own mess wash your hands before you eat hey, i got left behind no one said anything they were just gone and i don't understand don't hit people play fair share everything put things back where you found them clean up your own mess don't take things that aren't yours say you're sorry when you hurt somebody live a balanced life learn some, and think some draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday uncommon thoughts on common things i'm in a rut
7.
Icepick 04:12
i can imagine your face it doesn't like what i'm saying you know what you're missing is love scrape off the fear and go i don't know why you're so cold i don't know how i'll ever let you go i can remember your face i meant every word i said you know what you're missing is love scrape off the fear and go i don't know why you're so cold i don't know how i'll ever let you go ever let you go... how will i decide if it's now i might... ever let you go i don't know why you're so icy inside i'd rather melt you down than deal with frostbite i don't know why you're so cold i don't know how i'll ever let you go wrapping my brain around things never mind what it means but it's all telling me i'll never ever let you go ever ever ever i need an ice pick for your mind i'll chip away your icy cold disguise when will you melt i hope you thaw somehow

there's a major issue that's burning in my mind (you are powerless) it doesn't make sense to keep churning thoughts that will expire (you won't figure this out) there's something i need to tell you before my thoughts go bad you're hanging heavy over my head i'm more myself with you around, you around i don't understand you run away, you run away there's major tension building in my arms (you can't carry this) it only makes sense if you're learning, but i'm not (you won't figure this out) i need to be offensive for you to notice me what's that? (she won't notice you ever) there's something i need to tell you it's been a long time now i hope you're ready to know i'm more myself with you around, you around and i don't know why you run away, you run away i'll probably confess it all when i'm drinking i've only got courage when i'm thinking oh no... i'll probably confess it all when i'm drinking i've only got courage when i'm thinking yea, i'll probably confess it all when i'm drinking...
9.
i am your master now sing for me i'm not entertained, i'm not entertained now sing for me yea, but i am a human being and i know that i was born free i am your master now dance for me i wanna watch your hips move and lips sync oh yea, but i am a human being and i know that i was born free i know that, i know that, i know that we're all born free cause' i am a human being don't you see i'm already... no one owns me i sing for myself no one owns me no one owns me
10.
Breakage 03:09
this is a dirty business for me and i don't care at all because when you're a dead man you've got nothing to lose and you won't pin this on me you won't pin this on me i have a respect for the chemistry i just rationalize to make things not seem like i make poison for money, for money i make poison for money for money you won't pin this on me you won't pin this on me
11.
i never believed in coincidence it just doesn't suit me so when i get to doubting i become dissolute in mind and not actions i collide like stars in the sky no constellations just randomness chaos and no order at all i always believed in love it always eludes me so when i get to thinking of you absolute control is gone i collide like stars in the sky no constellations just randomness chaos and no order at all life has a funny symmetry at times there's too many things that are alike too many things that combine there's too many things that i can find that make things just right i can't deny i collide like stars in the sky no constellations just randomness chaos and no order at all at all, at all, at all....
12.
i never thought that you could make such an impression on me it's something i'm trying to forget if anything i just want the feeling to stop i want to be wanted like you and i want to feel wanted like you since you've been gone i've reverted to old habits it's not exactly what i had in mind for the next stage of my life i guess i always thought i had more time with you i want to be wanted like you and i want to feel wanted like you it's just bad timing it's not worth the risk it's just not worth it oh god when will this be over let me forget all about this and move on you're a deception i never know if you're there you're a deception i never know if you care you're a deception you're an infection i have a cure for you you're an infection it works if you want it to you're an infection it only works if you want it to and i won't try to make you mine anymore it only works if you want it to
13.
you've done it now oh my god i'm not sure why i put up with you we're so incredibly screwed i need you now to come through this time i'm losing my mind i'm suffering on the inside now it's moving to my outsides there is a shadow of doubt that clings to us all me and myself are in trouble again where do i begin... there is a shadow of doubt that clings to us all i vie for your attention there's no one in this life that i would rather see and it hurts me to know just how far i would go i came alive with time fell in love and died but there's a sweetness in the burn because it makes you heal and learn there is a shadow of doubt that clings to us all i vie for your attention your affection your attention what are your intentions
14.
Prey 03:45
nano robots programmed as predators and we're the prey, they're evolving fast the swarms can't survive in the wind the swarms can't survive the swarms won't survive in the wind this will keep you alive don't let me get infected it's dangerous so send it away out to play this is the reckoning of the first sing of pain thermite can fend them off it's not enough need to find the hive destroy them all we just can't rely on the wind there's another strand we just can't rely in the wind the swarms can stand don't let me get infected it's dangerous so send it away out to play this is the reckoning of the first sign of pain M.R.I. chemical anomaly creates a phage we need this so bad this could be the end of the age don't let me get infected send it away out to play this is the reckoning of the first sign of... pain, send it away send it away send it away M.R.I.

16.
you cancer me honest like you shouldn't and i'm letting you high most people don't always get what they want you know they're better on lately i find that i'm making no sense at all i won't tell you lies if they aren't true i won't bring the fight, yea unless it's to you you reply dishonest like you should and now you're giving me down (down, down...) i never wanted to be cruel but you're better turned off i won't sell you lies unless they have value i won't bring the fight, yea unless it's to you i see things tearing at the seam i see things tearing across the seam there's no better outcome than through me
