Muddy Waters 04:53
What am I but a breathing machine Stuck in muddy waters, muddy waters Excuse me if I'm making a scene But I'm out of order out of order Leaving ain't as hard as it seems Love is not renewed in the spleen So remove that organ, move that organ Sew me I'll bleed on your sheets And I keep coming over, coming over Giving you whatever you need It's not getting easier And honey I can't forget All the words I'm trying to speak But I always falter, always falter Going through our morning routine Stay a little longer, little longer Guess leaving ain't as hard as it seems It's not getting easier And honey I can't forget What did I say It's not getting easier And honey I can't forget

Common Sense 03:50
You said I could be whatever I want Now I'm 32 and I live above her dad All I need is something that can numb me up Falling on my back means I can watch the stars If I fucked up the rest of my life Can you acknowledge please that I tried Oh my God, will you listen? Break my heart with common sense Everything's changing and I'm drained Most days just feel the same What if I'm just the only one That still believes in vain If I fucked up the rest of my life Can you acknowledge please that I tried Oh my God, will you listen? Break my heart with common sense Give me something I'm dying to breath The grass seems greener but it's so out of reach Give me something to get me to sleep So just go ahead and lie through your teeth

Circles 04:28
What's that permanent cloud you see me walking around with I grew to love it myself, you say it's all in my head Say it's all in my head Oh well... Always wanting more Washed along the shore I can't hold myself I know now We walk, we walk in circles I know now We walk, we walk in circles You're gonna hurt yourself You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes I know now We talk and talk in circles "You keep it all to yourself why don't you talk to me instead?" Better drown in that well than have you hate me again I know it's not in my head Oh well... Always wanting more Washed along the shore I can't hold myself I know now We walk, we walk in circles I know now We walk, we walk in circles You're gonna hurt yourself You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes I know now We talk and talk in circles You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes I know now We walk, we walk in circles I know now We walk, we walk in circles You're gonna hurt yourself You're gonna hurt yourself so close your eyes I know now We talk and talk in circles

Brand New 04:18
Black hearts flying home On borrowed wings Wounds all exposed Fakle smiles, fake hopes Love on screen but sleeping alone All alone Strip me of paradise Suck every bit of light Crush me with your embrace Oh what a let down Love it when on my knees Begging you darling please Crush me with your embrace Oh what a letdown Watch me I'm breaking down In the passenger's seat You shouldn't have come around I'm a spreading disease Tired of the talking And bereft of words Come spit them out All your favorite quotes In the water we will meet Sinking ships inside the sea Strip me of paradise Suck every bit of light Crush me with your embrace Oh what a letdown Love it when on my knees Begging you darling please Crush me with your embrace Oh what a let down In the water we will meet Sinking ships inside the sea Love it when on my knees Begging you darling please Crush me with your embrace Oh what a let down

Wonder 02:23
Breath breaking over your cigarette The smoke can't hide the shame You said "We make a nice mistake" I'm guilty for a heart that breaks so kiss me one more time Now I'm falling at the seams And if I was to pass by you Would you remember me? I wonder And if I was to talk to you Would you want me to? I wonder Still shaking can't really feel myself Is that me really here? I think I saw somebody there You said "Oh baby let them stare and kiss me one more time" Now I'm falling at the seams And if I was to pass by you Would you remember me? I wonder And if I was to talk to you Would you want me to? I wonder What's that moment in a feeling Time just keeps on stealing what my eyes can't find Lost a lifetime in a second, so I should just let go What was never mine

Smithereens 06:02
All night spent to unwind In my mind thoughts intertwined I know it's all on me My love for misery A lack of sympathy for anything that makes me feel Some kind of happiness, things I cannot express I'm always showing less, I can't ask you to live with it Will you be alright with this Go on and finish what I couldn't start And shatter everything Just let me keep the smithereens Daylight comes in due time Helps fight my darker side I've been poking your ribcage Trying to see If there's any sign of fight left inside you and me Daylight comes in due time I know it's all on me My love for misery A lack of sympathy for anything that makes me feel Some kind of happiness, things I cannot express I'm always showing less, I can't ask you to live with it Will you be alright with this Go on and finish what I couldn't start And shatter everything Just let me keep the smithereens The deeper the wound I drift out to the deep end But I can't save us Will anybody know I still miss it Will you be alright with this Go on and finish what I couldn't start And shatter everything Just let me keep the smithereens

Call You Up 04:52
If I’m ever being honest No, I never kept a promise When we're dancing on the ceiling I am scared of this feeling You were laughing drunk remember Was it June or late September All the moments I keep stealing I am scared of this feeling Last thing I remember I was hiding in your sweatshirt I’ve been lost in there for hours Through the scents and all the fibers And I’m scared of this feeling Maybe I’m dreaming… If I get out of here If I feel trapped Can I call you up? Can I call you up? Now we’re walking on a wire But our luck has long expired We were craving for some healing And I’m scared of this feeling Last thing I remember I was hiding in your sweatshirt I’ve been lost in there for hours Through the scents and all the fibers And I’m scared of this feeling Maybe I’m dreaming… If I get out of here If I feel trapped Can I call you up? Can I call you up? If you go down my way Just stay…

Carry On 05:23
I want to live on the other side of town Where no one knows my name or what I am about I'll carry the past in tiny plastic bags And all the rocks will rest under my pillow I want to hang with all my friends from when I was younger Just sit around along the sea We'll sing and dance to a song we liked when we had fun But now I'm lost and I can't find the will to Carry on I want to live on the other side of town Just soak the sun in and hope I’m never found I’ll wash away all those years facing the ground By screaming from the rooftop of my house But truth be told I think I’ll stick around And fight the waves until they drag me down I’ll stay lost in your affection, never have a recollection I’l pretend I’m doing fine and Carry on
