Thoughtless 04:38
I guess that life couldn't contain you Pushed you to search for danger on the sly Had me screamin' "why, oh why? You know I can change, too" But you left me cold and dry, my god! Maybe I made a misstatement Cause I don't even mind The mess you left kept me up all night It's your right to be foolish When I'm not in your life Have distances kept you satisfied? You barely let me down You kept tellin' me you had to hear the call And it scared me that I heard nothin' at all When you said you were gonna leave Was it just as you promised? Always thoughtless Always thoughtless There's a wild thing inside me all along I guess this is just how it feels I'm movin' on I'm a radiant feral beast Little ignorant spirit Always thoughtless Always thoughtless I left my ire miles behind you I am at peace with a lover at my side And I find we're entwined, oh! She shows her teeth, too And I hope you catch that light, my god!

Heart Attack 03:40
Panic, no-win, a slow death And your back's against the wall And I know the wars you've been fighting I know that you're really frightened I minded, I admit, but no man Ever braces for the fall And I know your voice has been trying to say "Ooh, suddenly I'm having a heart attack" I won't back down when I'm with you Won’t back down "Ooh, suddenly I'm having a heart attack" I won't back down when I'm with you You call it divine will, but oh man I just don't believe at all 'Cuz I know the reasons you're running And I know that we could recover But my wish is that this is no end 'Cuz your back's against the wall And I don't know if you'll ever find it You say "Ooh, suddenly I'm having a heart attack" I won't back down when I'm with you Won’t back down "Ooh, suddenly I'm having a heart attack" I won't back down when I'm with you I know the war you’ve been fighting I know that you’re really trying I know that you’re really trying I know that you'll never find it

If you were a real friend You'd feel it in your hands You can handle every concept But you never learned the dance It should only take a moment To include me in your plans You keep tearing out the context You never understand Show me how to do it right, boy Show me how to do it right all night You don't know what I know Show me how to do it right, boy Show me like we've got all night You don't know what I know If you were a real friend You'd feel it in your hands You can handle every concept But you never learned the dance Show me how to do it right, boy Show me how to do it right all night You don't know what I know Show me how to do it right, boy Show me how to do it right all night You don't know what I know It would only take a moment To include me in your plans You keep tearing out the context You never understand If you were a real friend You'd feel it in your hands You can handle every concept But you never learned the dance

Dark Water 05:03
I remember saying You gotta stay more open It's so easy To get myopic It feels good So you avoid it It feels good So you're retreating So all that's left is Little moments In little rooms For you to keep them These days all I want to do is watch dark water grow on the ceiling These days all I want to do is watch dark water grow on the ceiling These days all I want to do is watch dark water grow on the ceiling Haven't made a friend in weeks I'm shocked that you stuck around I'm afraid of what you think With my doldrums spinning out I don't want to be awake It's not your fault I let you down Down down down down down, down, down You need Someone Who needs You need To believe Or you can't speak It feels good So I avoid it It feels good So I'm retreating So all that's left is Little moments And a cave For me to sleep in These days all I want to do is watch dark water fall from the ceiling These days all I want to do is watch dark water fall from the ceiling These days all I want to do is watch dark water fall from the ceiling These days all I want to do is watch dark water fall from the ceiling

I am settled into my foundation Save my summer teeth, they grind my patience I am not a thing with bars and borders But I crumble quick like brick and mortar That's how it happens Cultivate a kind of softness As it complicates and deepens Scared they're gonna think it's weakness Now you advocate for walking wounded Did your calluses impede your movement? I can't shake it I still have this bruise Nothing changes No matter what I do It's not fading, no Yellow, purple, blue Is not fading, no That's how it happens Hiding place out of habit Remember when the thought would break me Remember when my hands were shaking That's how it happens Cultivate a kind of softness As it complicates and deepens Scared they're gonna think it's weakness I could patch myself with incantations But I stumble in my awkward cadence As the limbs I know collapse around me There are upper limits to my body I can't shake it, I still have this bruise Nothing changes, no matter what I do

Where my familiar light Was burning, there's nothing Can't I just stay inside? I need it, I'll find it I tried, I know I tried It's coming, not coming What have you done? Guess they have to burn another one What a shame What a shame Mm, that's right Tell me what to do Tell me what to do What am I supposed to do? I tried I tried I tried, you know There's nothing, there's nothing There's nothing I tried, take a look What am I supposed to do Tell me what to do Take a look Take a look Take a look I tried to spit it out But the rotten words stick to my mouth If I don't stop all my nothing sounds There's only doubt, there's only doubt So I will open wide I, I So scared the moments gone I am burning another one I am burning another one Worried it's gonna be the death of me Why does there have to be an enemy Worried it's gonna be the death of me Why does there gotta be an enemy [spoken] As I get older I realize that I never really Solve any problems that I actually have Sort of a conundrum I mean What are you supposed to about Things that are out of your control I feel like there's An expectation that you just kind of Learn to ignore them Do things to kind of distract yourself from The Things that should be weighing down on you I know that I'm guilty of that Are you guilty of that? Are you guilty of not being who you want to be? Do you feel some sort of Loss Some sort of Helplessness? That's normal That's what life is How can your look at yourself in the mirror in the morning When you know that you're a failure How can you just Deal with that It's okay, it's hard, I know But, you know, you'll You'll get over it I hope You know I love you

So you find You're losing the fight Enemies of Living in your mind You say you're getting better You say you don't know You say you're getting better You say you don't know I know you better I know you better You say you're getting better You say you don't You say you're getting better You say you don't know I know you better I know you better Puttin' aside your role Are we getting better I think you know Come inside Shadow I don't know Memories of Black jeans on the floor You say you're getting better You say you don't know You say you're getting better I don't know if this is better I don't know what u brought home You say you're getting better You say you don't know You say you're getting better I don't know what u brought home I don't know what u brought home Capsize We tried I know you You say you're getting better You say you don't know You say you're getting better I don't know what u brought home I don't know what u brought home

Boy 04:39
I don't really wanna be unafraid Making all your moves before you move away Different intersection almost every night Turned so hard I felt like I was taking flight I don't really want to be so afraid That everything I'm feeling could be just a phase Think about you leaving, and it gets so tight Tell myself I swear I'm gonna be alright Cause we're never sleeping, up all night Steady causing trouble side by side Cause you'll always be my number one Get a load of that body Get a load of that body Boy, you're always laughing at my jokes While some boys are scheming just to steal my joy Oh, the ocean moved away from Ohio Even though we never tried it Boy, you're always laughing at my jokes While some boys are scheming just to steal my joy Oh, the ocean moved away from Ohio Even though we never tried it I don't really want to be so afraid That everything I'm feeling will eventually fade So I'm drinking to distraction almost every night How'd I ever let you get so deep inside? So I'm never sleeping, up all night Wishing you were right here by my side 'Cuz there's never been another one Get a load of that body Get a load of that body Boy, you're always laughing at my jokes While some boys are scheming just to steal my joy Oh, the ocean moved away from Ohio Even though we never tried it Boy, you're always laughing at my jokes While some boys are scheming just to steal my joy Oh, the ocean moved away from Ohio Even though we never tried it Oh, boy You're always laughing at my jokes Oh, boy You're always laughing at my jokes Oh, boy You're always laughing at my jokes Even though we never tried it

Been awake since 3:30 I can’t sleep alone Gives a purpose to dreaming In this dark, empty home I don’t eat when you’re angry ‘Cause I can’t taste a thing So I’m constantly hungry For a moment of peace Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Oh, sometimes I don’t wanna know Yeah sometimes I think I don’t wanna know at all Oh sometimes I don’t wanna know Yeah sometimes I think I don’t wanna know at all Oh, where did our September go? Now I need you more and more It’s all gone missing, it’s all gone missing I’m digging us a deeper hole Oh, where did our September go?

Speechless 04:20
Here I am Livin' in the dark I work so hard But I'm so alone There's no sound that I can make That'll show you what's inside But my heart, it pounds, and my bones, they shake I think something should happen If I could say it out loud Maybe I'd say it out loud These unclear sounds Won't make it all make sense [chorus] The words don't come (you got me, you got me) SPEECHLESS And I know you feel the same way too (you got me, you got me) SPEECHLESS But how are we to let them know (you got me, you got me) SPEECHLESS When no words flow (you got me, you got me) SPEECHLESS [4x] (you got me, you got me) SPEECHLESS Here I am Livin' in the dark I work so hard Still so alone [spoken] I whisper half-thoughts I write nonsense down But it's never enough You keep coming up [chorus 2x] [chorus]
