The Keepsake
04:30

Well I dropped my feelings
I dropped my feelings off the wall
My keepsake's fault was at a crawl
So we'd try to conceal it
To best not reveal what logic flawed
Though who's to say we were wrong?
When I dropped my feelings
And I dropped my hearing off the wall
Summer's call was at its fall
And though you so feared it
Whenever we got near it left a view
Of something I knew of all along
Can you help me out? Oh.
(But we can drink one more!)
Though your promise was bent
And half of your fate's too late to mend
We haven't yet known enough regret
But in my thoughts uneven
You'd keep on stealing all my time
And I got no good reason why
Can you help me out? Ohhh.
But every moment is a moment gone
While half are spent for someone else's cause 'til you see it
In all your truth a compromise
While half my time was an excuse to lie 'til I mean it
I shoulda seen it coming I should seen it through
Wasn't running there was nothing that was better to do
And I would repeat it
But every instance was a waste of time
Come from the fear you'd live a wasted life
Do you need it? I still need it.
Ohhhhhhhhhh...
(And I'm not really like this
As of late I just haven't really been myself
Shoulda thought it through shoulda been more careful...)
Can you help me out?

Love/Kill

It fell apart
Came to an end before it even got to start
Fell to the floor before she even picked the card
Though look who wasn't banking on another option drawn
There's no such thing as a bleeding heart before it's torn
Drop everything to get your foot inside the door
And hopefully return to a dignified form
Could it be true?
Could I be bound to the life and thought and breath of you?
Patient and waiting calculate your every move?
Oh that doesn't sound too good
You could expect me just to stay go on regretting in this way
Or you could say it never happened
It was never your own asking
Or you didn't want me hanging around
But I know you did
'Cause I don't wanna think it through
I don't wanna see it take too long
So I'm gonna think of you every time the picture looks too wrong
But I wonder why it is
You'd confine me up like this
So pour on the salt
In the wounds of the things that we would and could and should have done
Haul out the knives break out your axes grab your gun
'Cause it's time we showed our love
And everybody plays their part as we tear out each other's heart
And laugh at the mess we made
Keep on talking when we can't explain
Cut each other deep but ya feel no pain now ain't that just the way
And everybody plays their part 'cause we were meant right from the start
To laugh at the things we say
Keep on walking when we shoulda stayed
Cut each other deep but you feel no shame now ain't that just the way
Ain't that just the way
'Cause I don't wanna think it through
See it undersized or overgrown
Instead of what I take it for
A comfort when I couldn't find my own
So I know just why it is
I confine myself like this

Glory Years
03:43
|

Well I'd like to say enough's enough
Pack my bags and call the whole thing off
If we weren't on the record
Trash it all for the pleasure
Idolized hollow nights
Later on we'll drive out to the docks
Pass it down then pass out in the car
Use these years as a measure
Doesn't get any better
Glorified, stains your mind
But if it's another Friday night I can't wait I can't wait to get out
And does the difference of wrong and right really hinge on drinking this down?
I don't see the answers but I don't really try
No one gets to tell me how I get to die and I can't wait
I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait
No
Where's there to go when it's all used up and there's nowhere left to buy?
Oh well I don't know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
And I'd like to say that enough is enough but I think I'm feeling fine

Wake
04:22

This is as far as we go
Calling an early night
I take the easy way home
Cold from the artless plight
Gather up the fallen cues
The wake of nascent hearts
No day can tear the nighttime from the dark
There's no room for mistake in these times
Opt for the endless load
But in the firm-stead design
How far do intentions go?
And after all is said and done
You'll wonder what was lost
Binding all your self-regard
To someone else's thoughts
It's gone
The moment's gone
Is there any room to grow?
Is it that I just feel old?
Workload is your alibi
Exit is the lonesome night
Take it easy take it slow
Don't let any weakness show
This is not an offset fight
No one person makes it right
(Always full force, our ways caught short)
(What was won? What was gained? If it's all the same then why can't I stay? Who has won? What was gained? If it's all the same...)
I should have known.
(Shrapnel rain down tonight
I've got no place to hide
World's course shaped by the few
There's nothing I can do)

Bad Habits
05:10
|

I don't wake and feel rested
But my body's well adjusted
This is just how the best live
And all my friends have the same air
Self-proclaimed, say they don't care
Guess it's funny that we're still here
Oh but I won't complain never had a doubt and we'll never change
And oh how the outfit makes
For such a good way to spend your time it's automatic
Oh and the absentee always running late and the first to leave
For such a good kid you sure picked a shitty time to go fall out of line
I don't wait to feel accepted
And I don't look the part or dress it
Guess that's just how the rest live
The agenda's full and never done
Throw it out girl we're having fun
And we can trade it for another one
And of my bad habits you're the worst
I'll drop it all if you say the word
And I'm aware it's a bit absurd
Oh but I don't complain never had a doubt and we'll never change
And oh how the outset tastes
You're such a good way to waste my time it's automatic
Oh and the apogee always coming first and outlasting me
For such a good girl you sure picked a shitty time to go and say you're mine
But I think you're my favorite
Yeah I think you're my favorite
Cause you're speaking my language
And I think I've gone crazy
And I think you might've made me
'Cause it's one of those phases
But I think you could save me
Yeah I think you could save me
'Cause it's yours for the taking
Don't you think about changing
I don't think I could take it
'Cause there any no replacement no
I don't ever wake up on-time
Things never seem quite right
And I think I feel just fine
Oh but I won't complain never had a doubt and we'll never change
And oh how the outfit makes
For such a good way to spend your time it's automatic
Oh and the absentee always running late and the first to leave
For such a good kid you sure picked a shitty time to go fall out of line
Oh but I don't complain never had a doubt and we'll never change
And oh how the outset tastes
You're such a good way to waste my time it's automatic
Oh and the apogee always coming first and outlasting me
For such a good girl you sure picked a shitty time to go and say you're mine
Oh but I won't complain never had a doubt but that's bound to change
And oh how the outlet rings
As such a good way to spend your time it's honorary
Oh and the apogee always coming first and outlasting me
For such a good girl you sure picked a shitty time to go and say you're mine
Oh but I don't complain never had a doubt that we're bound to change
And oh will the outcome pain
As such the good girl who ended ties it's ordinary
Oh and the absentee always running late and the first to leave
For such a good kid you sure picked a shitty time to go fall out of line

Symptoms

Guess we're back to the guessing game
With everything in its grey shade
And you can trade the explanation
For something cool that you gotta say
Well it's all an intrusion
Through the the cell through a broken wall
And the story that's just begun
Feels like the tale that they won't recall
No they won't no they won't no they won't recall
Just another start
Just a better cause
If you get out please tell me how and where you are
Just the pressure's mark
Or just for anything at all
If you get out please tell me how and where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
'Cause tethered here you never feel and all I want is it to stop
Oh I knew it was all too late to get a second guess in
Or try to find the next best when it had already taken its place
Well it's the fault of institution
And it lives in the bed you make
And it feeds on the love you take
While otherwise impartial to the kind you break
And now there's nothing and no one
Seemed guaranteed but it never showed up
(Potential doesn't listen 'til your actions speak
So crowd the door and please the meritocracy)
Now you're wearing all black just to mourn your figure
Turn the time back to your worst decisions
And they'll assure you of a time where it's not so bad
But that was time that we never had
And we were all disillusioned
Cut stemming from the root I know
I know I know
So kiss me babe and take it all away
Just another start
Just a better cause
If you get out please tell me how and where you are
Just the fetter scars
The cuts from 20 years at large
When I get out I'm running straight to where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are

And it's not for another start
And it's not for a better cause
And it's not for the pressure's mark
And it's not for anything at all

Smile
04:52
|

I couldn't help but notice
That you've got
Got the same
And I couldn't help but notice
That you've got
Got the same
Same smile
Tired fading heavy waiting
Smile
(It's not too late we could escape
Somewhere out there is something better
With nothing to say I'll pass your way
And think that I could know you better
Before it's through I'll get to you
You'll see things could be so much better
And though this is hard and may fall apart
This way is so much better)
Tired fading smile
Of a time that we never had

All The Hunt
03:58
|

We're all back on the board again
Using all the same means my friends
Can you justify your ends?
Or are they still unmet?
Is it all the hunt with little left to catch?
I can see through your thin disguise
And how you spread those lies
Keep it up it comes with time
But there's an envy I can't deny
I can't deny ohhh
No one wants to be alone
I know it more than anything I've ever known
Tonight I'm back in that cozy place
Where the flags are raised and I'll watch them while I wait
And I'm convinced that things are always gonna be this way
Just the other day I saw another one go by
So willing and so glad to waste his time
How could someone be so blind?
And she sat and swallowed all the things he had to say
Like a match that burned her standards all away
Nothing left to gain
Just someone to spend the night and play the game
(Oh if you could shed your desperation what would life be like?
Less preoccupied?
Oh if you could see through all the obvious in his attempts
Oh no you haven't yet?)
No one wants to be alone
I know it more now
No one wants to be alone
I know it more now
No one want to be alone
I know it more than anything I've ever known
Tonight I'm back in that cozy place
Where the flags are raised and I'll watch them while I wait
'Til I'm not awake
Is it all a game?
If it's all the same
Tell me what it takes
Well I'm not awake
And I'm convinced that things are always gonna be this way

The Keepsake's Fault
04:23
|

Garnered all those confrontations in my favorite bag
Now a host of bad ideas I'd soon have never had
Bitter specks of souvenirs have got me feeling down
But it's clear I think much clearer when you're not around
Now I'm waiting at the party and there's no one here
Gone are all those compromises that I made last year
If my free time's piling up I guess it's just as well
Feel I should be feeling better but I just can't tell
Sign the resignation
Find some consolation
Coldest of your shoulder's all I get for now
After-bitter ever-older
Can you help me out?
