We Never Learn 05:12
lyrics

I watch you grab everything by the horns I watch you grab everything by the horns until it mows you down All that's left is the sound, of your whimper I watch you swim with sharks for fun I watch you swim with sharks for fun until it turns around eyes fixed on you You ought to spot it you ought to see you should've spot the pattern You should have seen We play with fire till we can't feel our finger tips Woah We play with poison like we know it doesn't really exist Woah We play with fire till we can't feel our finger tips or feel it burn, or feel it burn We play with fate until we burn and do it all again we never learn we never learn We never learn we never learn I never knew what it meant to bite off more than you can chew I never knew what it meant till I laid eyes on you I never knew I never understood the meaning of being in over your head I never knew I never understood the meaning of being in over your head We play with guns, bombs, cyanide and arsenic we play with fire, lies, and everything in between We play with loaded threats and empty promises We play everything you ever feared

Petty 02:49
lyrics

Well my mother always told me, I should really be a lawyer I will argue any point until I win if it takes all night Too stubborn for anyone except a court of law Maybe I'm too stubborn to admit that she was right Yeah my mother always said I should be a fucking lawyer The amount of stupid shit I want to debate'll just drive you up the wall I point my mouth into the sky, and I blow my hot air I gotta be right, I gotta be a know-it-all Yeah I'm that petty I'm so petty I should be a fucking lawyer And I'm good at being petty good enough to be a fucking lawyer Cross my heart and hope to die, hope you don't bury me alive I'll make a point of making sure you want to before I get up off this ride I know just how to get under your skin, how to be perfectly irritating Stubborn is the only language I speak I just will not give in

Fragile Minds 04:49
lyrics

Verse 1: It's like I'm lying awake at night I don't think its safe it's like I'm changing my ways it's like I'm not the same this time I'm losing my head its like I'm better off, not quite thoughts drive me insane its like i can't trust my brain tonight Fragile bodies and fragile minds I can't get enough sleep could you shut the blinds I can't seem to close myself off from me why is there something dark in everything I see Chorus: Hold my head up my neck isn't quite that strong i don't know where it's been all this time I've hacked myself up I've brought me down I don't confide in myself unless nobody else is around Verse 2: In most of my dreams I'm tall but they end up being nightmares where I'm far too small On most of my days I do nothing to save face I'm waiting for something to pull me through but I'm stuck in my Shallow body and shallow mind I can't get enough sleep could you clear my mind I can't seem to close myself off from me why is there nothing pure in anything I see

Bottles 01:32
lyrics

Sipping water while everybody talks running back and forth on stories keeping everyone absorbed club beats start playing on somebody's spotify Everybody's dancing miming at you join the vibe Things are heating up you see some people losing clothes shoes, shirts, bras everything'll start to go someone's passing pills round a circle by the wall girls are whispering in boy's ears you can have it all Everybody's head swivels they just heard a crash a bottle fell off a table and split right down the cracks a shard here and there a few people cut their feet everybody just continues they don't want to lose the heat A circle forms around somebody "get it down in ten" He gets it down in 9 pukes in the hall and starts again A girl grinding a boy takes his hand leads him away they find the vomit in the bed keep going anyway someone broke a window throwing bottles at the wall that okay it was an accident. Noone's fault at all but we're gonna need some money just to get it replaced he isn't liking that he throws a punch at his face somewhere down the road a girl threw herself in the lake someone's naked outside trying not to shake someone else is passed out alone and in a slump someone else is in emergency getting their stomach pumped

Bedsheets III: Would You Lie? 06:32
lyrics
buy track
Is it worth all the effort they ask Just pretend to be happy try not to be sad If you buckle down stop being selfish they say then you can just get over it how easy it is to say, That there's nothing wrong with her yeah there's nothing wrong with these entitled spoiled brats How easy it is to read a blog that agrees with me it's as good no its better than fact And If I said that I cried what would you say would you lie would you say you were there And if I said that I meant this that I need it just to quit would you say that was alright would you lie It's just like anything else put a plaster on it and it goes away It's just like anything else if you ignore it it causes no pain We're uneducated, we're stuck in our ways like everything else if we ignore problem maybe it'll just go away well this isn't funny, and it isn't safe this problem will fester before it fades And if I said that I tried would you care would you lie would you say that's just how it is And if I said that I meant this that it hurts just to say it would you laugh would you cry would you lie My bedsheets keep me cold they never worked at all my monsters still haunt me and bedsheets I trusted you what more can I do my monsters will haunt me And If I said That I hate this that I'd do anything to kill it that it doesn't just go away Would you still deny it treat this like a virus do you know there's lives at stake would you lie I only care for myself I'm all that I see I hate being shallow but being deep would drown me

If God Was One Of US 02:50
lyrics

Flying headfirst out of a cannon's mouth Is probably something we could learn to do without sell your point any point with fear and wonder how we ended up here Wave this at them this is their fault, what they wanted was too much, they got shame and they want to flaunt it cause pain that's what god would want I know for a fact that's what god would want *what if god was one of us* If God was one of us he'd be insane If God was one of us we'd lock him up and call him names If God was one of us we'd put him on a fucking leash If God was one of us we'd treat him like a new disease If God was one of us we'd call him freak We'd sew his lips shut for ever trying to speak If God was one of us we'd make him scream For claiming to be something holier than me If God was one of us he'd be insane Lead me to the camps, where they come and they stay stuck in our homeland we won't have it this way chase them out, string them up by their feet i pledge it on this book that preaches love and peace Let them know, let them know, they do not belong immigrants founded this land just for us Men in Judea wrote the western custom lock and load for god if you've got a problem If God was one of us he'd be insane If God was one of us we'd lock him up and call him names If God was one of us we'd put him on a fucking leash If God was one of us we'd treat him like a new disease If God was one of us we'd call him freak We'd sew his lips shut for ever trying to speak If God was one of us we'd make him scream For claiming to be something holier than me If God was one of us he'd be insane If god was one of us he'd die alone noone would believe he ever sat on a throne if god was one of us he would weep If god was one of us he'd never be able to sleep If god was one of us he'd be a loon If god was one of us we'd put him in a padded room If god was one of us we'd burn him like an effigy for ever claiming to be something pure or holy If god was one of us he'd be insane

Calloused 04:27

Is it the people you never see or is it only the ones you'd guess to be so envious of humanity so jealous they exude none to see I throw flames at those scared of fire I've got callouses on my skin and bones I've killed men just to look like I like it I've got callouses on my heart and soul I've hacked to pieces those I held dear I've got callouses on my lungs and brain I've caged victims and killed kids in costumes I'm calloused over I feel no pain Maybe it's the kings and the queens who know that if they want to they'll never be seen maybe it's your family who know you'd never suspect a thing I've hurt babies to stop them from screaming I've got callouses on my skin and bones I've taken advantage of those in my care I've got callouses on my heart and soul I've made people kill for my own pleasure I've got callouses on my lungs and brain I've infected the world with my madness I'm calloused over I feel no pain

Cynic 06:01
lyrics

I put my head on top of my heart for almost everything It's only ever worth the effort as long as it makes sense If It's informed by emotion or faith then it's got to go If it's not backed up in science and fact then I'll have nothing to do with it Try to fix me , try to cure me I'm a cynic and that's how I'll stay Bleed it out have faith in me yeah that's how I like it yeah bring it forth have faith in stuff I like because I'm a hypocrite Scream at the sky in my name because I fucking like it I'm inconsistent I'm aware but I don't care I'm a cynic and that's how I'll stay I'm a cynic and I like it that way I'm a cynic and that's what I want I'm a cynic please stay away

Romance trips me up and it confuses me and I get it wrong and signals stress me out cus they're mixed up and I can't tell Blurry vision I can't see You blur the lines between you and me I don't stop the words before they come Tumbling out I only wanna be with you now and I try anything but, as far as I can see I don't get girls, but she gets me Loosen your touch, loosen your grip Because I just can't, keep up with this Yeah romance trips me up, but I can't get enough

Welcome Welcome Welcome to the wedding We're glad you could come We weren't quite expecting, so many of you Excuse me a second Here find your names The groom's in the closet, with one of the bridesmaids And I hate to say it but I hope you know, I hope you know that I told you so, I told you so And I can't help but not forget that I told you so, I told you so so now you're on your own, you're on your own So let's just, let's just, let's just stop pretending that this brings you shame you're so self destructive, you've only yourself to blame I remember you told me, this time I'll find the right guy Someone to hold me who'll never leave my side and I think you owe us all an apology we bought the ticket to fly out here you said it would be spectacular and I'm not saying that it wasn't quite that but at the end of the day, I'm gonna say that I would like my money back

Hold me back I can't take it anymore It's become such a bore and it's weighing on me Please cut it out I can't bear to listen anymore Because there's nothing right about what you'd have me endure It feels like a knife in my back again And this time I just can't make ammends Just Stop it please I'm on my knees And All I want is a little reprieve Hold me back I can't take it anymore It's become such a bore It's become such a bore Please cut it out I can't I can't listen anymore Please cut it out my brain feels sore I don't wanna be alone tonight, I just wanna be with anybody else but you I don't wanna be alone tonight, I just wanna be with anybody else but you
