Daylight

I’m not scared now
I have no cross to bear
Can’t you see how it’s so beautiful out there
I’ve got the sunlight warming me to my bones
And I’m not scared now to call that place my home
If there’s a storm cloud, it’s living in this place
You keep me around and wait for me to finally fade
Isn’t it selfish?
you know I’ve had my fun
And I’m so tired now
I know I’m not the only one
Can’t you just let me move on?
Because It’s been so hard for far too long
And I know there’s never really a good time
But I’m blinded by the light in that sky

75 On Though
03:17
|

|
Permanent headache quake
San Andreas falling right through the brain
Cracking up every hour
Flashing like a light on the highest tower
I've made it and yet this goes on on on on on
Maybe I've read it all wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
Can't solve this with a song song song song song
When it starts, it never ends
75 on though
This car will always stall on the avenue
I put it park tonight
But there's not guarantee that I'll stay alive
I've made it and yet this goes on on on on on
Maybe I've read it all wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
Can't solve this with a song song song song song
When it starts, it never ends

Can't Stop

You hold
You go
I forget and I fall out
You care
You swear
I don’t think you really know how
So bite down
Bite down
Your words mean nothing now
You’ve got me going too hard to stop now
I lay
I pray
God, tell me what happens now?
I long
For some
Hope that one day your fucked mind will go ahead to pull the trigger, and
Bite down
Bite down
Your words mean nothing now
You’ve got me going too hard to stop now
You’ve gone and done it again
You’ve gone and done it again
You’ve gone and done it again
Just a whore on the floor
And she’s begging you please let her live
But you could never so you...
Bite down
Bite down
Your words mean nothing now
You’ve got me going too hard to stop now

Better Now
03:04
|

|
Oh man, I promise I am so much better now
All my songs about dying are about heaven now
So now I’m just foliage
How could I be forgiven now?
It’ll be a fever or a bad dream
My love if I ever see you again
Tell me again
So now I’m just foliage
How could I be forgiven now
Oh man, I promise I am so much better now

World Fell Flat
04:48
|
|||
|
Check the door and check it twice
You never for sure if your apartment is locked
Several steps down the hall you stop
Then you turn around and check again like you should
Because it's all part of the game
To make you feel like, like you've gone insane
And if the world, the world is round
What if the world fell flat, somehow?
You'd like to think that the drive was safe
You didn't see a soul on the road that night
Felt a jolt but it was outta sight
Was anybody walking through the town that late
Because it's all part of the game
To make you feel like, like you've gone insane
And if the world, the world is round
What if the world fell flat, somehow?

Life On TV (remastered)
03:14
|
|||
|
I’ve been waiting in a window
For a good girl to take me home
I’ve been waiting on a pedestal
While they tell me just how good it’ll be
I’ll be perfect for my lover
She’ll be perfect for me
Take my eyes take my mind
Wear my skin and be mine
Fake my lies take some time
Now you win now you die
Take my eyes take my mind
Wear my skin and be mine
Fake my lies take some time
Now you win now you die
Fairytales and daydreaming of a life just like you see on tv
Glazed over, skin colder
I guess this is what it means to me, just to be
Take my eyes take my mind
Wear my skin and be mine
Fake my lies take some time
Now you win now you die
Take my eyes take my mind
Wear my skin and be mine
Fake my lies take some time
Now you win now you die

Sober
03:44

Can you see how
The sun shines brighter
My blood runs red
Each breath comes lighter
I clear my head
The days go slowly
And I don't mind
As I have learned to see
These shadows lie
And I swear I can't remember the last time that I have ever been this sober
And I swear I can't remember the last time that I have ever been this sober
Can you see now
What you call pleasure
Can hold my gaze
I'm so much better,
Wouldn't you agree?
I'll call my mother
Can't wait to say
'Living another day
Is alright with me'
And I swear I can't remember the last time that I have ever been this sober
And I swear I can't remember the last time that I have ever been this sober
And I swear I can't remember the last time that I have ever been this sober

Elena's Song
05:20
|

|
I want to be the one you call at night
To scare away the things you’re too tired to fight
Don’t you ever think you burden me
Your love, your smile, is the air I breathe
So don’t you
Ever say
Don’t you
Ever say
Don’t you
Ever say sorry
You fear your thoughts like a monster that creeps inside
Lament your faults, find a quiet corner to hide
Don’t you know that you brighten every room?
That everyone is happier with you?
So don’t you ever say
Don’t you ever say
Don’t you ever say you're sorry.
You got it you got it
You got it you got it
You got it you got it
You got you
Why is it something that grows from the bottom of your soul?
Like you mean it, like you need it
Like you have nothing else to give
Like you're nothing at all
Like you're doing it wrong
Like you're doing it wrong
(you're doing it wrong, you're doing it wrong, you're nothing at all, you're doing it wrong, you're doing it wrong, you're doing it wrong, you're nothing at all)
Don’t you ever say
Don’t you ever say
Don’t you ever say
Don’t you ever say
Don’t you ever say
Don’t you ever say
Don't you ever say you're sorry.

Fade
03:42
|

|
I go off on my own, now you know me.
There's a house in the woods for those like me
Who fade
Who fade.
'Cause I don't know how these things work
And you think I'm so cool at first so
I'll fade
And that's how I want it
That's how I want it
You don't need to tell me how good we've got it.
I've got no argument, but regardless
I'll fade
I'll fade
Oh god, if you only knew
How ugly I could be to you,
You'd pray
And that's how I want it
That's how I want it
Don't you try to find me, I won't be there
You'll be better off anyway

Heavy

Darling, calm down
Take a break
I know this is
Messy and strange
How strong, how kind
Is your sweet mind
A thread of gold
In this harsh world
Maybe life feels heavy
But I think you're ready.
Hello, sweet child
Your hands are torn
Broken and bent
But I swear you've grown
I know, my dear
Life's not so bad
You've got more than you ever had.
Maybe life feels heavy
But I think you're ready
Please believe me, I wouldn't lie
It's your time, its your golden hour
Maybe life feels heavy
But I think you're ready
Maybe life feels heavy
But I think you're ready

The Cure

Oh, they say the sun won’t come out
If you take comfort in the clouds
Don’t say you know better
Double dose me I’ll take my fill
Chemicals will make you feel ill
Turns out I’ve been ill forever
But you, you,
You don’t know the cure
The remedy
The cure
Whats good for me
I am a source of malcontent
I became a bad accident
Did it shake your pride?
You pull me every which way
Tell me what pills I should take
Why do you think you’re so right?
But you, you, you don’t know the cure
The cure
The cure
