Top Notch 03:22
There's two twin deaf kids and they've gotta make An ungodly decision They decide which one gets to leave this place And which one will forsake it, to make it So, the first kid says in his temporal tone, "I don't think there's a way to resolve it. We should wrap both these towels 'round our blistering bones. Wait it out in the closet." His brother looks him up and down And prophesied how all of it should end He said, "They're buried underneath the yard And no one ever listens or visits." All that I know, it's no way to fix it All that I know, it's no way to fix it All that I know, it's no way to fix it All that I know, it's no way to fix it It didn't really matter how it happened when it did? 'Cause when it happened, you reacted with an apathetic wince So you try to wash it out but that's a stain that won't dissolve And we all believed in ghosts until you walked into the wall So give up! So give up! So give up! So give up! All that I know, it's no way to fix it All that I know, it's no way to fix it All that I know, it's no way to fix it All that I know, it's no way to fix it

Choose You 03:14
The invention of the ship Was the invention of the shipwreck I tried to find out who I was By jumping off the deck I intentionally clipped the intervention like a trip wire Picked a color tried to bribe the bad one back into his bed And I don't, won't I don't, Choose You You Underneath the Christian Court there was this saying in the bricks That you don't determine greatness by a man's intelligence No you won't determine greatness til you really start to dig And you find out all those empty things that he lets discourage him And I don't, I won't I don't Choose And I don't, I won't I don't Choose you I tried to walk away You broke the cast and tried to say "I am not the man you kill I am not the man you choose" See it back to back aways today I tried to clean you tried to pray "I am not the man you kill I am not the man you Choose" And I don't, won't I don't Choose And I don't, I won't I don't Choose You You

Girl Harbor 03:22
Cause you always talk so loud And you never notice I don't mind the sound but you've Rearranged the pieces of your life So many times you burned out the parts I don't wanna believe But I wanna believe you I don't mean what I say But I say what I need to So now your last name is mine And I feel no different I made a match that's trying to prove Trying to find a way I can explain There was nothing else to possibly say I don't wanna believe But I wanna believe you I don't mean what I say But I say what I need to You waste so much time You waste so much time On desperate friends Trying to reconcile their names There is a name for men like you inside the dark And I know your faults I know the way you write them off I don't want anything to do with it no more I bet most the time You're too insecure to admit it You're the last in line to move Now I'm running out of things that I can say Cause nothing that I say is really helping anyway I don't wanna believe But I wanna believe you I don't mean what I say But I say what I need to I don't wanna believe But I wanna believe you I don't mean what I say But I say what I need to You waste so much time You waste so much time You waste so much time You waste so much time

The Mansion 03:20
Oh mom, my heart is so black You find it insane to apologize for something like that It won't revolve around me Or how I feed on almost every inappropriate thing We know the guy that drew the map but he's a graveyard away He never wanted to stay I was painted red I never read the actual words They're kind of faded I guess You said I called you ?no shoes? Man we all make mistakes I swear to god it wasn't just you I found the guy that found the map he's going insane He can't remember my name He can't remember my name And it was just like you said We got back to the mansion bowed both our heads I saw a flash in the sky I recall you saying there's no one there but the devil and I I am the man who proved the map was wrong it's never the same Its undeniable change Its undeniable change What a deniable way What a deniable waste

The Ocean 03:19
That boat Will not float It's the last in its class, I'm the first one to know That bed It's never made I'm the last of my kind, fucking tricked by my training How proud now? I, I give it to the ocean, the ocean I hope You don't choke On that last passive word that you keep in your throat It's so cool To be you We're all walking around, like a kid out of school Pray, wait, pray I, I give it to the ocean, the ocean [x2] There's a ghost And it knows What I know So I let to go There's no ghost There's no ghost I, I give it to the ocean, the ocean [x4]

Every Stone 03:39
You might just have missed the mark If you're keeping everyone away Didn't mean to Didn't want to Well we might just leave a mark If you don't give anyone a say Never want to Never mean to Every stone I've thrown has gone away Has gone away [x2] Every stone I've thrown has gone away Has gone away It's gone away Away [x2] It's a notion That doesn't matter even if we stay And it's overrated And manipulated Nobody ever has a say It makes me wonder who can wait And attest my patience Cause it's not worth waiting Every stone I've thrown has gone away Has gone away It's gone away Every stone I've thrown has gone away Has gone away It's gone away Away [x5] Away [x2]

I've been left out a while I sold the family plot for time Sold the only thing I liked So I could taste it You've been drinking all night We both know when you're drunk The future rewinds It happens every fucking time But you erase it All that I really wanted to do was to leave it all All that I really wanted to do was to leave it all For you These days that you finally find That pure restitution is not on your side There's never been a place to hide You have to face it Nobody thinks you're actually right It feels like a battle, it's more like a fight You always bark, you never bite I don't believe it All that I really wanted to do was to leave it all All that I really wanted to do was to leave it all To you Let me make up my mind [x3] So I can change you All that I really wanted to do was to leave it all All that I really wanted to do was to leave it all For you

Trees 03:09
I used to feel some guilt Now I just feel empty I wasn't supposed to bend Least not this quickly I wanted to walk Oh you, you wanted to run I wanted to talk Oh you, you wanted to slide I want to believe I've got to believe I used to feel some thrill Now I just feel thrifty I tried to clear my pain I just made it empty I wanted to walk Oh you, you wanted to run I wanted to talk Oh you, you wanted to slide I want to believe I've got to believe So I wanted to walk Oh you, you wanted to run I wanted to talk Oh you, you wanted to slide

Indentions 03:49
God is all of the time Red box, wood baptist sign tonight Some local kid lit a fire They burned down everything inside I won't leave indentions of me, me God is watching tonight How long can you be knighted now? Cause all the progress you made Won't end up meaning anything I won't leave indentions of me I won't leave intentionally It doesn't matter to me I tell myself repeatedly What a nightmare it seemed To honestly think anything I won't leave indentions of me I won't leave intentionally

See It Again 04:02
When I got out of my car I stopped myself and thought about how unimportant locking the front door was seeming The only reason that I turned the lock and key was to protect the only living thing inside other than me And I'll never get to see it again No I'll never get to see it When I watched the others wait It made me shuffle in my seat and I felt like everyone around somehow related Not knowing eachothers names we gathered here to see if the ones that we've been waiting for would continue to breathe And I'll never get to see it again No I'll never get to see it again No I'll never get to see it again No I'll never get to see it again No I'll never get to see That all this money doesnt matter when the money only pays for narcisistic medals we would kill for yesterday But this it has no price tag just a tag around the toe thats slowly going back and forth from warm to pretty cold And I'm never gonna see it again No I'm never gonna see it again No I'm never gonna see it again No I'm never gonna see it again No I'm never gonna see it Didn't mean to talk about blood Didn't mean to bother both of you Didn't really need to say much Didn't mean to talk about blood Didn't mean to talk about blood Didn't mean to bother both of you Didn't really need to say much Didn't mean to talk about blood Didn't mean to talk about

Cope 03:48
want to watch it all fall until it's dark, you both look exactly the same at night I'd arrange the bed like crosses, watched them fall into the floor Made me stop and forget what we were fighting for It's like everything that I ever have imagined's coming true today There is a cost, my friends Of living out some other dream to find the consequence It comes and goes in seasons around here, I thought again There's nothing left around to yield this sorry ignorance If I do echo I hope you never see There is no one there that's waiting after me And I hope if there is one thing I let go it is the way that we cope Now I hope if there is one thing that we know From the way that you and I will wander on And we won't become a lifeless lope that wanders round and hopes for sorrow And I know! I know! I know! Know! I know!
