Repeat 04:30
here lies a series of questionable decisions wine bleed pill repeat blame it on these points of contention within with me within me repeat how many hours until this is a memory? breathe in deep repeat how many times until the words lose all meaning? i'm sorry repeat but i got it easy i'm numb i'm a facet of mass destruction and it's my fault it's not my blood but take the gun before i do something stupid freeze take the train to midnight out of the spiral to keep you breathing forever denial take it on like you can make a difference push too hard retreat you say it took thirty years to find some meaning are you fucking kidding me? well i got it easy i'm numb i'm a facet of mass destruction well what if i like playing dumb it's so much more fun than finding distraction please take the train to midnight best of Chicago keep her breathing forever denial on the rooftop gotta keep you smiling better tomorrow even if yer lying i'm sorry repeat breathe in deep repeat sure is nice to do something good for once sure is good to do something nice

After This 04:00
after this who gets the rest of me what if i can't tell what's best for me? hearts will break at the thought of it go on i can't wait to get back on my feet compensate like there's still nothing wrong turns out we were trying all along we can't wait until it's too late to go on i can't wait to get back on my feet i can't give until there's no rest of me if i go down i'm not taking you with me after this i will be something else instead of me so say goodnight with grace say goodnight with grace some time say goodnight with grace i can't give until there's no rest of me if i go down i'm not taking you with me

i could see it in her face a hit + run under an ocean sun she thought i knew “he was not the only one” but a purist's mind in judgement is a funny thing don't need to try when the ice gets thin i just sigh and hold it in said she wanted all of something (you can) overlooked, he feels forgotten (hear it) up the river, screaming profane, he says closer certain father feel the stillness dying river current lying screaming coward it was a hit + run can't take his place, he's a setting sun under the gun he'll try to prove he is not the lonely one father shows his teeth when he's on the run don't need to lie when you just pretend it was never yer intent sinking deeper, manic creature a hollow trope, an empty preacher squirming falling you can hear it whisper closer certain father feel the stillness dying river current lying screaming coward it was a hit + run as i try to compromise you can hear it crying naked, i begin to let the water win cause i can't hold you in closer certain father he's a setting sun and yer not the only one

Hold 04:29
were you afraid you would set me off? you would call me out i would call you soft with that certain air of arrogance that i confuse with confidence love can be so critical you can call it hard you can call it soft semantic parasitical psychoanalytical you can hold me to the fire with a hand on the wheel you can hold me to the wall with a blade you can hold yer tongue and i'll still understand oh you can you can hold me yer a martyr baby yer overstrained help me out would you? could you explain? about the heretics + hateful pricks and what they've got to do with this i'm unclear will you rat me out? will you force me clean? i don't wanna make a scene the match above the gasoline the latch that holds in everything you can hold me to the fire with a hand on the wheel you can hold me to the wall with a blade you can hold yer tongue and i'll still understand oh you can you can hold me the streetcar + the wire the ember + the fire you can hold me to the word that i relay you can stick yer tongue at the queen and i'll stand by you you can you can hold me

I Am Water 04:09
late night it's dark and stormy you start to sparkle before me you talk, i am unable find you on my kitchen table you are water you are blood just like a moon you bring in the flood yes there are fires and there is death and there is dying where the fire is met but you are water and you are good and you are evil and misunderstood in the fire after death there is living where the fire is met she said the fire is red see through my eyes all the specks of dust collide did you know that this was all underwater? don't it make you feel you don't really matter? but we coincide we sit under the sun moon to think this will all be gone soon you ask me ‘how old is this sand?' making a dove with your left hand i am nothing nothingness not more important than anything else i am ready to accept and unable to begin to forget we are nothing nothingness never settle for anything less she said the water is red see through my eyes all the specks of dust align did you know that this was once underwater? don't it make you feel you don't really matter? but we coincide i know you know that there are things that i know you know that you can't know and i know you know that there are things that i know you know that you can't own you can't own the water you can't stop the flood you care for the water or run for your life you can't own the water you can't stop the fight you can't catch a fire so run for your life did you know that this was once underwater? don't it make you feel you don't really matter? don't it make you feel the ice start to shatter? does it really mean you don't really matter? or does it mean you feel you don't really matter? what would you rather? we don't decide
